Dugu Bo held a piece of clothing and walked over to Dugu Yan, draping it over her.
"Yan Yan, let's go back!"
However, Dugu Yan remained silent, and tears at the corner of her eyes formed a frost on her face.
Her body trembled, but she kept staring at the half-frozen milky-white spring.
In the cold pool, two rectangular ice blocks floated, each freezing a man and a woman.
The man had ink-green hair and eyebrows, somewhat resembling Dugu Bo.
The woman, though not stunning, exuded an air of nobility and bore some resemblance to Dugu Yan.
These two were Dugu Yan's parents, Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law!
Dugu Bo sighed deeply as he looked at the spring, placing his hand on Dugu Yan's back, using soul power to dispel the cold for her.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan's voice trembled.
She turned her head shakily, looking at him seriously.
"Tell me the truth about that so-called engagement! Did my parents really agree to it?"
"Yan Yan!" Dugu Bo didn't expect her to ask this, fell silent for a moment, then spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice, staring into Dugu Yan's eyes without evasion.
"Yes! Your father and mother, had already agreed to this marriage!"
Having said that, Dugu Bo suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart.
Dugu Yan stared at him for a long time, her green pupils showing no emotion, making it hard to discern her feelings.
"Yan Yan understands." Finally, Dugu Yan nodded slowly.
After that, she started walking towards the direction of the wooden house but staggered and almost fell.
Her legs were almost frozen, but fortunately, Dugu Bo caught her.
"Yan Yan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Dugu Bo helped her while using soul power to dissipate the cold in her body.
Slowly, they walked to the side of the wooden house.
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo seemed to sense something and looked at Ye Qiu's room, snorting again.
Dugu Yan followed his gaze, seeing the window of Ye Qiu's room still shaking, as if it had just been closed.
After staring for a few seconds, her eyes lowered, and she continued walking to her room.
In Ye Qiu's room, he was leaning against the wall beside the window.
Apparently, he had been looking outside all this time.
"Phew~" Ye Qiu sighed lightly, climbed onto the small bed in the room. Since there was nothing urgent, he might as well rest early.
Outside, Dugu Bo had already walked out of the room.
He walked step by step towards the cold spring. As he approached, a layer of frost formed on his eyebrows.
Looking at the two figures inside with no movement, Dugu Bo felt a bit sentimental.
"Yu'er! Everything wrong is my fault! If it weren't for my poison, you wouldn't be like this!"
Considering his lifelong involvement with poison, Dugu Bo, in the end, almost brought ruin to his own family!
Now that Ye Qiu appeared in front of him, he saw hope for their family!
"Yan Yan, don't blame Grandpa. It's all for your own good!"
Standing still for a long time, until late at night, Dugu Bo finally returned to the wooden house.
...
Ye Qiu walked out of the wooden house, stretched his body looking up.
The sunlight poured down, making the mist in the air particularly conspicuous, refracting sparkling light.
Adjusting his breath, looking at the distant Ice and Fire Spirituel Eyes, Ye Qiu walked slowly towards it.
Today, he planned to first take the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot to solve the antidote for Dugu Bo and his granddaughter!
Now was a good time to get used to the surrounding environment first, so as not to encounter any accidents when picking herbs.
The grew in the center of the extremely cold spring, and even from ten meters away, one could feel a slight chill.
It had an octagonal shape, with sparkling flower buds resembling ice crystals at the center.
As Ye Qiu approached, he activated his Mysterious Heaven Technique while heading towards it.
The blue hair gradually frosted, and the exhaled breath instantly condensed into a solid state.
Ye Qiu didn't dare linger for too long. According to Tang San, if the time was too long, the cold poison would attack the heart, and there would be no cure.
Just as he was about to walk away, Ye Qiu slapped his forehead.
"I'm really getting confused."
A hexagram appeared in his eyes, and his figure became somewhat illusory.
"Hehe, that's better now! Huh?"
About to walk along the shore and take a look at the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Ye Qiu saw two ice coffins floating in the cold spring.
He easily recognized the faces of the two.
"So, they are the son and daughter-in-law of Senior Dugu. No wonder Dugu Yan stood on their side!"
In the distance, the space next to the wooden house fluctuated, and Dugu Bo, who had gone out, appeared there.
Seeing Ye Qiu standing near the spring, he couldn't help but urge him.
"Kid! Why are you standing so close? Come over here quickly!"
Being called by Dugu Bo, Ye Qiu also returned to his senses and, after another glance, walked towards the wooden shed.
At this time, the low table had been replaced with a new one, filled with the dishes Dugu Bo had brought back.
"Senior, why are you up so early?"
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo's face turned cold, seeming to still hold a grudge from last night.
"The old man is old and can't sleep well!"
Ye Qiu awkwardly smiled twice and extended his hand, pointing towards the direction of the spring.
"By the way, Senior, those two..."
"Yes, they are Yan Yan's parents!" Facing Ye Qiu's question, Dugu Bo, knowing that he had seen it, didn't hide anything.
Seeing Ye Qiu's curious eyes, Dugu Bo continued to explain.
"When they were on the verge of death, they were frozen by a move left by the benefactor, hoping to see the light of day in the future!"
Speaking, Dugu Bo's eyes had been staring at Ye Qiu, full of expectation.
"So that's it!"
Ye Qiu pinched his chin, curious about what kind of soul technique could freeze vitality.
Thinking of Dugu Yan's appearance last night, if there was a chance in the future, he might help her.
"Uh!"
Sensing the hot gaze from Dugu Bo, Ye Qiu felt great pressure, a bit uncomfortable.
"Hmph! Alright, don't stand foolishly. Go call Yan Yan to eat!"
Retracting his gaze, Dugu Bo didn't say much, just directly sent him away.
"Uh~ understood!"
Ye Qiu helplessly responded.
Approaching Dugu Yan's door, he raised his hand, about to knock.
Creak! The wooden door was opened.
In front of him, Dugu Yan seemed to have not slept well, looking a bit haggard. The corners of her eyes were slightly swollen, and her purple-green hair was somewhat messy.
She forced a slight smile, her voice somewhat hesitant.
"Miss Dugu! It's time for breakfast!"
"Hmm!" She lifted her eyelids with some effort, just glanced at Ye Qiu, then looked away, avoiding Ye Qiu, walking out.
Awkwardly scratching his nose, Ye Qiu followed behind her.
"Yan Yan, come and sit down quickly. I bought your favorite dishes."
"You caught a cold last night. After eating, I'll brew some medicine to drive away the cold for you!"
"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly and sat down at the table.
Seeing that she had no desire to speak, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu, who had just sat down.
"Kid! Can you drink? Want to have a drink with the old man?"
"No need, no need, I can't drink!" Ye Qiu waved his hand to refuse. He didn't want to get drunk again.
"Hmph! Can't even drink." Dugu Bo poured himself a big sip, somewhat disgruntled.
During the meal, there was not much communication between them.
The atmosphere became silent.
