"What are you thinking! They wouldn't be so shameless as to spy on our date!"
Ning Rongrong glanced out the window.
In her heart, she was certain Bone Grandfather must be outside.
Dugu Feng naturally understood as well.
Ning Fengzhi had publicly encouraged him to get closer to his daughter.
But he would never allow anything to happen between them at this stage.
Even if Ning Fengzhi believed Dugu Feng could eventually solve the Martial Soul Defect issue,
he wouldn't think the problem could be resolved now.
Dugu Feng could control the toxins in his body mainly due to the presence of his External Soul Bone.
He currently resembled a Tool Soul Master, with the External Soul Bone functioning similarly to a Weapon Soul.
After each Poison Attack, he would first use the External Soul Bone to absorb all toxins that had entered his body.
But old foxes like Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo wouldn't know this.
Hmm.
Maybe I should play a little trick?
A light flashed between Dugu Feng's brows.
Purple, green, gray, and blue radiance shimmered briefly.
An invisible ripple enveloped their surroundings.
This was his Four-Colored Mixed Poison.
One remarkable property of this poison was its ability to block spiritual perception, as any probing spiritual power contacting it would be corroded.
Only someone intending to attack him would recklessly continue probing.
If there really were any shameless old men spying, when they couldn't sense Ning Rongrong anymore...
Let's see if you show yourselves then.
Ning Rongrong couldn't perceive Dugu Feng's Four-Colored Mixed Poison.
She only felt that Dugu Feng before her had become more mysterious and imposing.
But then, a figure appeared outside the window.
A towering figure over two meters tall emerged stealthily.
The figure had a gaunt face with sunken eyes that gleamed with cunning.
Peering through the window, he saw Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong embracing.
Their eyes met - four eyes locking in silent confrontation.
Bone Douluo immediately reacted, complaining: "Rongrong, so you're here! There's been some unrest in Suotuo City recently, so I came specially to check on you. Took me forever to find you!"
He waved his hands, channeling Soul Power to open the window.
Bone Douluo's massive frame squeezed inside.
Dugu Feng thought: Just as I expected.
"Bone Grandfather, you—"
Ning Rongrong turned around, exasperated.
She'd just said Bone Douluo wouldn't be here.
And now here he was.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Dugu Feng said calmly.
A small test had indeed revealed Bone Douluo's presence nearby.
"You're not bad!"
Bone Douluo maintained an inscrutable expression while inwardly cursing this cunning brat.
That was definitely intentional just now.
And you, Rongrong! Earlier you said I told you about the Dugu Family's Martial Soul Defect—selling me out completely!
Ah, Rongrong, you forget your grandfather when you have a sweetheart!
"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency!"
"By the way, Haotian Douluo is outside Suotuo City. Rongrong, Dugu Feng, come with me to meet him!"
Bone Douluo quickly fabricated an excuse.
He had followed Dugu Feng's convoy to Suotuo City.
But upon arrival, Tang Hao had intercepted him.
The two had met.
Tang Hao told Bone Douluo he was here to protect his son Tang San.
Bone Douluo didn't think much of it, even asking Tang Hao to help protect Ning Rongrong too.
In reality, Tang Hao was here to guard Xiao Wu.
That's why he had stopped Bone Douluo.
"Haotian Douluo is actually Third Brother's father, and he fought the Pope of Spirit Hall to a standstill.
Dad told me he also possesses the Slaughter God Domain.
Last time, Pope Bibi Dong asked you to go to Spirit City to learn from her about cultivating the Slaughter God Domain.
With Haotian Douluo here, why bother seeking her out?
Today, we'll meet Haotian Douluo and just happen to learn about the subsequent cultivation of the Slaughter God Domain!"
Ning Rongrong agreed without hesitation.
Comparing the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, there was no doubt that the Clear Sky Sect had a closer relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Spirit Hall was a clear enemy.
Ning Rongrong had a rather favorable impression of Tang Hao.
Dugu Feng hesitated for a moment before feigning excitement, saying, "Haotian Douluo is an idol for our younger generation. Can we really meet him?"
If he could obtain cultivation insights on the Slaughter God Domain from Tang Hao, just thinking about it was thrilling.
As for the External Soul Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, they had already fully fused with him.
Moreover, with the Four-Colored Mixed Poison masking his presence, unless Tang Hao tore off all pretenses and forcefully probed his body with spiritual power, there was no way he could be discovered.
Bone Douluo suffered another blow.
He had only made up an excuse, but Ning Rongrong genuinely cared about Dugu Feng's cultivation.
A grown daughter no longer belongs to her family!
"Since you're both willing, I'll take you to meet Haotian Douluo!"
Bone Douluo took the lead, walking out of the room.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Feng followed.
The three of them left the Great Soul Arena and arrived at a teahouse.
The teahouse was a three-story building.
Bone Douluo led the two to a private room on the top floor.
"I've already sent a message to Haotian Douluo. Let's wait here for now."
Bone Douluo sat at the head of the table and gestured for Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong to sit beside him.
Ning Rongrong skillfully brewed three cups of tea and placed them in front of each of them.
"Bone Grandfather, later you must ask Haotian Douluo to properly guide Dugu Feng!"
Ning Rongrong shook Bone Douluo's arm, acting coquettishly.
"Don't worry!"
Bone Douluo sighed helplessly and sipped his tea.
A short while later, heavy footsteps approached.
The door to the private room was pushed open.
A middle-aged man in gray-white robes entered.
"Clear Sky Crown, please!"
"Greetings, Clear Sky Crown!"
Tang Hao's slightly intoxicated gaze swept over Ning Rongrong and Dugu Feng.
His eyes were somewhat dull, and the scent of alcohol clung to him.
He nodded and sat down directly.
"Among those who possess the Slaughter God Domain, you are the third. In fact, you might even be the youngest Soul Master to ever obtain it."
Tang Hao looked calmly at Dugu Feng.
Like Bibi Dong, he felt this kid was far too monstrous.
The process of obtaining the Slaughter God Domain was still fresh in his memory—countless brushes with death, countless battles against overwhelming odds.
Only after achieving a hundred victories did he finally gain it.
How had Dugu Feng managed to defeat those Soul Saints and Soul Douluo experts?
"Clear Sky Crown flatters me. The way I obtained the Slaughter God Domain was somewhat opportunistic.
In Slaughter City, as long as you win one battle per year, you can survive in the inner city, where countless desperadoes live.
Using the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom, I incited the bloodlust of over a thousand desperadoes and, at the right moment, ambushed fighters with over fifty victories.
That's how I achieved a hundred wins!"
Dugu Feng laughed.
Tang Hao was stunned. "You could do it that way?"
So Dugu Feng had relied on strategy to achieve his hundred victories.
Tang Hao shook his head with a faint smile. With Dugu Feng's cultivation as a Great Soul Master, entering Slaughter City seemed to be the only option.
"You've truly mastered the use of poison to perfection—no less than your father!"
Bone Douluo sighed in admiration.
It was as if they were carved from the same mold.
Cunning and deceitful.
Whether it was good or bad for Rongrong to be with Dugu Feng, he couldn't say.
Then he recalled Ning Fengzhi's words—they had to trust in how they had raised Rongrong.
