Chapter 123: How Does Grandpa Teach His Granddaughter to Date? Frantically Gathering Immortal-Level Herbs!!_1

Luo Yu looked odd.

Dugu Yan stood beside him, her seductive and gorgeous face flushing crimson.

She couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to tug at Poison Douluo's clothes, pouting her smooth lips and repeatedly uttering coquettish complaints.

"Grandpa, how could you do this, you've sold me off without even asking for my consent," she whined.

Poison Douluo's old eyes widened, "Yan Yan, are you overthinking things? Luo Yu only wanted to find a quiet secret chamber to treat your wounds, how could he have any bad intentions?"

Dugu Yan immediately gave him a huge speechless look.

"Grandpa, haven't you always warned me to never be alone in a room with a man, not even Yu Tianheng, and now you just don't care?"

"Ah?"

Poison Douluo looked around innocently with a clueless expression.

"Have I ever said such things before?"

"You definitely said..."

Dugu Yan was cut off by Poison Douluo shaking his head as she spoke.

"Don't spout nonsense."

"No! I definitely never said such things!!"

"You must be misremembering."

"How can I not remember?" Dugu Yan grew anxious.

Dugu Bo ignored her, turning to look at the young man beside him, who was watching the scene with a smile, and urged:

"Luo Yu, my friend, there's a secret chamber I carved out on the eastern cliff of this valley. Hurry and bring my granddaughter there to detoxify.

It seems the poison has already reached her brain, and her memory is all jumbled up; she urgently needs your rescue."

"Err..."

Luo Yu, watching Poison Douluo's performance, really wanted to give him a hint.

Overacting, be mindful of your expression.

The eagerness to sell off his granddaughter was just too obvious.

Luo Yu shook his head, "The thing about detoxifying in a secret chamber I mentioned earlier was just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously."

"In fact, curing you and your granddaughter of poison isn't difficult for me, but it does take some time to prepare the antidote. I'll go gather the herbs here, and you two can chat."

"This..."

Poison Douluo's expression changed, not because he was concerned about the herbs here.

After all, he had eaten all the herbs he recognized over the years, and he didn't dare to try the ones he didn't.

If he could build a good relationship with a genius demon like Luo Yu and incidentally get rid of the serious poison that threatened his and his granddaughter's lives, it would be putting everything to good use and fulfilling a virtuous deed.

What made him uncomfortable was that Luo Yu had been joking earlier.

Poison Douluo had thought Luo Yu was interested in his granddaughter; he'd been happily jumping to conclusions.

"Grandpa, you've changed," Dugu Yan said sorrowfully. "You never used to tell blatant lies."

Poison Douluo glanced at Luo Yu, who was walking away, and lowered his voice to chastise, "You silly girl, are you being too wilful? Tell me, where else can you find a man as good as him?"

Dugu Yan stamped her jade feet and spat, "But you were too embarrassing just now!"

Poison Douluo's green pupils dilated, and he maintained a stern face.

"Embarrassing?"

"Embarrassing what?"

"Have you seen anyone more handsome than this young man?"

"No..." Dugu Yan shook her head.

"Have you seen anyone more talented than this young man?"

Dugu Yan shook her head again.

Poison Douluo sighed, "Girl, you're still young."

"Let me tell you from the perspective of someone who's been through it all, when you meet a satisfactory man, being too reserved is useless; you have to learn to take the initiative and seize the opportunity, or else once this chance is gone, there'll be no other like it."

"If you miss out, you'll definitely regret it."

Dugu Yan hung her head, her slender jade fingers entwined together, muttering softly.

"But there's no need to rush things like this, I've hardly met him a few times, won't it be developing way... way too fast?"

Poison Douluo asked, "Do you have feelings for this boy?"

Dugu Yan's delicate body trembled slightly as she stealthily lifted her gaze to glance at Luo Yu's tall silhouette, her cheeks flushing a red.

She bashfully nodded her head.

Gave a soft hmm.

"Well then, that settles it. First, find a way to get together, then cultivating the relationship isn't too late."

"A man of his caliber is hard to find in Douluo; by the time you're not shy anymore and you approach him, I'm afraid it will be too late—the cucumbers will be cold, and other women will have snatched him away."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Dugu Yan's heart trembled.

Her small hand clenched unconsciously, a sense of crisis emerging from nowhere.

This reduced the blush on her face by a few degrees.

She looked up and asked, "Grandfather... what should I do?"

Poison Douluo stroked his beard with satisfaction, feeling like he had finally gotten through to his granddaughter.

He spoke earnestly, "Yan Yan, it's like a veil separates a woman pursuing a man—it's up to you on how to take the initiative."

"Grandfather, I understand."

Though Dugu Yan's pretty face still bore a hint of shyness, determination had set within her beautiful eyes.

"The child can indeed be taught."

Dugu Bo's eyes crinkled into a smile as he looked at Luo Yu as if he were appraising a grandson-in-law.

The more he looked, the more he liked; the more he looked, the more pleasing to the eye.

Even the way Luo Yu picked his Immortal Herbs seemed so handsome.

Luo Yu had no idea about the cunning plans the old fox had in mind.

Nor could he have imagined that there existed grandfathers in this world who taught their granddaughters how to date.

Right now, he was single-mindedly focused, intently discerning the Immortal Herbs by the side of the Icefire Polarized Eyes.

Poison Douluo might not recognize them, but he did.

This one, with a body of purple, jade-green stem, and nine translucent leaves with mist swirling around it, should be the Ninth-Grade Purple Immortal Mushroom, right?

It nourishes qi and replenishes blood, possessing divine powers to evolve a flawed Martial Soul.

Taken!

This golden, splendid, and dignified flower that looks like a damask-draped tulip should be the Damask Tulip, right?

Taken!!

The trembling Acacia Red with grass blades clustered like a cock's comb.

The body is snow-white, exuding an ethereal and elegant aura, with eight petals as lustrous as pearls, like an extraordinary orchid.

Surrounded by majestic and noble purple, the flower's pistil tip radiates a golden glow, a huge chrysanthemum.

And the top Immortal Herb, Acacia Red, linking large dark stones.

...

Taken, all taken!!

One after another, the immortal-level herbs with various effects were quickly identified by Luo Yu and swept up like a whirlwind, all tucked into his pocket.

His Storage Space was now overwhelmed with treasure light and floating with Immortal Qi.

Poison Douluo just stood there quietly watching, without a hint of heartache.

You think the old man loses with such a loss of Immortal Herbs?

No!

Just wait and see.

The old man is not just breaking even here, I'm making a killing!

While Luo Yu was reaping a great harvest at the Icefire Polarized Eyes,

In a distant and unknown location far from Douluo Planet, within the vast and misty Divine Realm surrounded by golden white clouds, suddenly there came a voice filled with surprise...
