"Since you, Old Poison, have said so, there's no need to address me as 'Your Excellency Elf' anymore."
"My name is Yunxiao. You can just call me by my name."
Yunxiao quite admired Dugu Bo's way of handling things.
As long as you had a strong and solid relationship with him, even if you had offended a high-ranking elder of the Spirit Hall, he would stand up for you.
Of course, whether he could actually win was another matter.
Nevertheless, there were very few people on the entire Douluo Continent who could match Dugu Bo in this regard.
And this was precisely why Yunxiao admired Dugu Bo.
Hearing Yunxiao not only agree to his suggestion but also allow him to call him by his name, Dugu Bo felt a warmth spreading from the depths of his heart.
Having struggled in the Spirit Master World for many years, he had long grown accustomed to the awe and distance others kept from him. Few people could make him feel such unreserved trust.
Although he thought this way, considering Yunxiao's life-saving grace towards the Dugu family, Dugu Bo still shook his head.
"No, no!"
"It wouldn't be right for me to directly call my family's savior by his name."
"Wouldn't that make me seem ungrateful and lacking in manners?"
With that, Dugu Bo furrowed his brows, stroked his chin, and rubbed his beard, as various thoughts raced through his mind like a carousel.
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slowly spoke.
"Ah, I've got it! In that case!"
"How about I address you as 'Your Excellency Yunxiao'?"
Dugu Bo repeatedly considered the title "Your Excellency Yunxiao." It neither made the relationship seem too distant nor failed to express his respect for his savior. It was just perfect.
"Ah, Old Poison, it's just a title. Whatever you prefer."
Seeing Dugu Bo's serious and solemn expression, Yunxiao could only go along with it.
After all, it was just a title.
Whether it was "Your Excellency Elf" or "Your Excellency Yunxiao," it didn't make much difference.
Once the titles were settled, the three of them returned to the tea table in the wooden house.
At that moment, Dugu Yan remembered Yunxiao's earnest and serious warning earlier, advising her not to take the name "Ice Dragon King."
Dugu Yan then looked at Yunxiao, who was drinking tea and chatting with Dugu Bo, and slowly voiced the question in her heart.
"Oh, don't take the name 'Ice Dragon King'?"
After understanding the whole story, Dugu Bo was secretly shocked.
It seemed the name "Ice Dragon King" was already "taken."
Not only that, but Dugu Bo, who had already concluded that Yunxiao was a descendant of the Deity clan, noticed the hint of caution and warning in Yunxiao's words. This sent a shiver down his spine.
Good heavens, could the name "Ice Dragon King" belong to a Deity?
Otherwise, why would Yunxiao feel such caution?
It seemed that the "new" name Dugu Yan had chosen for her Martial Soul might have clashed with the name of the Deity known as the Ice Dragon King.
It must be said that Dugu Bo had stumbled upon the truth by accident.
The reason Yunxiao was wary of Dugu Yan taking the name "Ice Dragon King" was precisely because of his fear of the Deities in the Douluo God Realm.
After all, anything related to the remnants of the Dragon God.
The deities of the Douluo God Realm, especially the five Great God Kings, wouldn't waste time with idle chatter—they would simply kill you outright.
At that moment, before Yunxiao could say anything.
Dugu Bo, who had a strong sense of "self-awareness," immediately made a decision by slamming the table.
"Yan Yan, since Lord Yunxiao has spoken like this."
"There must be a reason for it, so don't trouble Lord Yunxiao anymore."
Then, realizing that both he and Dugu Yan shared the same Martial Soul, Dugu Bo slowly continued.
"Yan Yan, since you and your grandfather both possess the Ice Attribute True Dragon Martial Soul."
"Why don't we call it the Ice Dragon, or perhaps the Frost True Dragon?"
After saying this, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan, who had already fallen into deep thought.
He knew that Dugu Yan was beginning to ponder the two names he had just proposed.
"Ice Dragon?"
"That doesn't sound good!"
"Frost True Dragon?"
"Although this name isn't as domineering as the Ice Dragon King, it's still quite good."
"Alright, in that case, let's call it the Frost True Dragon Martial Soul!"
Having silently made up her mind, Dugu Yan slowly announced the "new" name of her Martial Soul.
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba!
——Frost True Dragon Martial Soul——
Not only that, but Dugu Yan also directly displayed her black ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring to Dugu Bo on the spot.
"B... Black ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring?"
When Dugu Bo saw the Soul Ring configuration on Dugu Yan, he was utterly shocked.
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's understanding of black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings.
Far surpassed that of Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't even copy homework properly.
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
How dare you slander this master?
You have already chosen the path of death.
Dugu Bo naturally knew that absorbing a black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring required enduring a soul tremor.
If anything went wrong during the soul tremor, the Soul Master could either suffer severe injuries and become a fool, or explode and die on the spot.
"Lord Yunxiao, thank you for taking care of Yan Yan during this time."
"I owe you more and more favors, Lord Yunxiao."
Realizing that Yunxiao had intervened to help, Dugu Bo immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Yunxiao.
After chatting for a while longer, Dugu Bo finally left the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire with Dugu Yan.
Having been away for three months, it was time for Dugu Yan to return to school.
Similarly, the matter of someone daring to target Dugu Yan and drugging her needed to be resolved.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and an aura of killing intent unconsciously emanated from his body.
After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, the grandfather and granddaughter, left, Yunxiao also arrived in front of the spring of the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
"Three months of preparation—it seems it's time to get down to business!"
With this thought, Yunxiao no longer hesitated.
He immediately activated his Soul Power and leaped into the spring with a "splash."
Having prepared himself, Yunxiao was naturally unaffected by the extreme cold and heat around him.
Meanwhile, in Shrek Academy, in Suotuo City.
Tang San, who was cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique on the rooftop, suddenly felt an inexplicable and intense sense of foreboding.
This caused him to instantly lose control of his body. In a split second, his Soul Power reversed and surged backward, as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.
Tang San's face immediately turned deathly pale. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and with a loud "wah," he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on?"
"Why do I suddenly feel
such intense palpitations?"
After wiping the blood from his mouth with his hand, Tang San felt his heart pounding with a series of sharp, agonizing palpitations.
It was as if something of great importance had already slipped away from him.
