Chapter 14 Child Bride
"Don't look so unwilling, girl. Even if you were willing, that guy might not even be interested in you," Dugu Bo said dismissively, pursing his lips.
Dugu Yan glared at her disrespectful grandfather, knowing he liked the girl, but there was no need to rush to give her away. "I'm not someone you picked up off the street, you know."
She then turned to Lin Ye and whispered, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just like that sometimes, unreliable and frivolous. You'll get used to it."
Lin Ye smiled. "Then, Sister Yan, would you be willing?"
"Ah!" Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback, and asked uncertainly, "Xiao Ye, what are you talking about?"
"Sister Yan, I really like you. What do you think of me?"
Upon receiving confirmation, a look of surprise appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes; happiness had come so suddenly.
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was greatly encouraged. With a wave of his hand, he set the tone, as if afraid that Lin Ye would change his mind.
"Good lad, you have good taste. I agree to this marriage."
After saying that, Dugu Bo burst into laughter.
Dugu Yan was also overjoyed, and her gaze towards Lin Ye became more tender and affectionate. "Grow up quickly, your older sister will be waiting for you."
In order not to miss the opportunity, Dugu Yan abandoned the reserve of a young girl and didn't care about things like an old cow eating young grass.
Lin Ye smiled slightly. What's wrong with getting a wife for free?
He wouldn't pretend to be a gentleman; after all, his life goal was to eat, drink, have fun, pick up girls, beat up scoundrels, and kick Yu Xiaogang.
"Grandpa Dugu, can you help me see how many years of soul rings I can absorb right now?"
After consuming whale jelly, Lin Ye's physical strength was greatly enhanced. Coupled with the Ice and Fire Refined Body, the spirit rings he could withstand far exceeded the first spirit rings of ordinary spirit masters.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo grabbed his hand and probed his body with his soul power to examine him.
You don't know until you see it, and what you find shocking. Worried that his judgment was wrong, Dugu Bo pinched Lin Ye's arm and leg again.
After checking repeatedly, he looked at Lin Ye with an expression of utter disbelief, "How can your physical body be so strong? Even a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul can't compare to you!"
Soul Master? Does that mean I can crush Yu Xiaogang with just my physical strength? Lin Ye had this thought in his mind, then shook his head. Who would compare himself to that old good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang? That would be beneath him.
Right now, Lin Ye is most concerned about his spirit rings. "Grandpa Dugu, how many spirit rings do you think I can absorb?"
After a moment's thought, Dugu Bo gave a rather conservative estimate: around 3000 years ago.
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now. Grandpa Dugu, Sister Yan, I have other things to do this time, so it will take a little longer. You don't need to wait for me here."
"So eager? Okay, let's go," Dugu Bo said.
Lin Ye waved his hand in refusal, "I have other things to take care of this time, so it will take a little longer. Grandpa Dugu, you should take Sister Yan back first, you don't need to wait for me."
Dugu Bo remained silent. Since he hadn't specified what it was about, it meant it was inconvenient to talk about, and he didn't press the matter further.
"Will you be gone for a long time? Why don't you come with me to Tiandou City when you come back this time, okay?" Dugu Yan showed her reluctance.
"About a month, I guess. I'll skip going to Tiandou City; I have things to do here," Lin Ye replied.
"Sigh, I really don't understand you. What's the point of staying in such a small place?"
Lin Ye: "..."
I can't exactly tell you that I'm lying in wait here, ready to trick Tang San, can I?
"Alright, Sister Yan, I'll come to see you in Tiandou City when I have time."
After a pause, Lin Ye took out the catalog of immortal herbs from the dragon-patterned jade pendant, opened it, found a page, and tore it off.
"Sister Yan, although the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a celestial delicacy, it is still a bit old. You should eat this when you get back; it will help your future cultivation."
The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had been harvested once by Lin Ye after his time travel from the future. The ones growing now are the result of secondary planting, so they are naturally not as old as the first batch that Lin Ye had.
Dugu Yan took it and looked down at it.
"The eight-petaled fairy orchid has a mild medicinal effect and can remove impurities from the body..."
Besides the text description, there was also an accompanying picture: an eight-petaled orchid, entirely white and crystal clear, giving people a sense of purity and otherworldliness.
After saying goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, Lin Ye immediately set off with Xue Di and Bing Di, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest on the Douluo Continent, home to the most terrifying soul beasts on the continent.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Lin Ye and his two companions had already arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Warning signs are erected along the roadside.
"You will enter the Star Dou Great Forest fifty miles ahead. There are soul beasts there. Please be careful."
As they got closer to the Star Dou Great Forest, the surrounding air became cooler.
This place inspires fear in even the most powerful spirit beasts. The Star Dou Great Forest is like a spirit beast opening its gaping maw, awaiting the entry of young lives. No one knows whether what awaits within is opportunity or the devouring of life.
However, with the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress around, Lin Ye can roam freely in this Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest can be divided into three major areas, mainly based on the strength of the soul beasts.
In the outer area, only ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year-old soul beasts appear, and it is rare to see the traces of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
After passing through the outer area, you will reach the mixed area, which is the area with the most types of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Generally, the mixed zone is inhabited by thousand-year-old soul beasts, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and hundred-year-old soul beasts. They usually have to rely on the strength of their clan to appear.
Further inside the mixed zone is the core zone. Although this area is also quite vast, the number of spirit beasts is far less than in the mixed zone.
Because in the core area, hundred-year-old soul beasts are basically extinct, and thousand-year-old soul beasts are not many either; ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are the main feature.
Of course, you can sometimes see the figure of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
The area at the very center of the core zone belongs to the true rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the core circle within the core zone.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Ye and his two companions rushed straight into the mixed zone without stopping.
Although he was looking forward to his soul skill, Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry. Spirit-type soul beasts were already rare, and those that met his requirements were even harder to find. He was prepared for a long struggle.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees grew taller and the jungle became increasingly dense.
The trees are so thick that it takes several people to encircle them.
Moreover, each tree is towering into the clouds, with a height of at least several hundred meters.
The trees have tall canopies that block out the sun, so even when the sun is high in the sky, the jungle is still quite dark and damp.
