Chapter 71: Dugu Yan Offers Herself? Then I'll Reluctantly Accept…
In the time that followed, Song Ye remained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, cultivating diligently.
One night passed…
On the Spirit Hall's side, Qian Renxue returned to Spirit Hall together with the Porcupinefish Douluo and the Snake Lance Douluo.
Ning Rongrong and the other female characters connected to the light screen tried to inform the royal family about Qian Renxue's secret.
However, the royal family had already descended into complete chaos because the Crown Prince had suddenly disappeared.
Ning Rongrong and the others were surprised and guessed that Qian Renxue must have left early. As such, they no longer interfered.
The next day, Song Ye was still at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo came to find him again.
Dugu Bo took the initiative to speak to Song Ye. "Brat, the evolution you gave my Yan Yan's martial soul is really quite something!"
"Last night, Yan Yan and I experimented in every possible way, and the more we explored, the more we realized just how powerful this Heavenly Poison Serpent Emperor martial soul is!"
"It can be said that Yan Yan's martial soul potential is at least dozens or even hundreds of times greater than mine! In the future, even reaching above rank 95 is highly possible!"
Listening to these words, Dugu Yan stayed beside Song Ye, blushing with embarrassment.
In the latter half of last night, after finishing her martial soul experiments, she also looked at the content of the sharp commentary regarding Qian Renxue.
After reading it, Dugu Yan was almost frightened out of her mind. It turned out that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually an insider planted by Spirit Hall.
Moreover, after reading the commentary and reflecting on it, she realized that on the Douluo Continent, the female characters seemed cursed, as if they were destined to find a man to depend on. She began thinking deeply about this issue.
In the end, Dugu Yan arrived at a conclusion: there must be something wrong with this Douluo Continent, causing most people to only know how to fall in love.
Now, Dugu Yan looked at Song Ye shyly and sincerely, feeling extremely nervous.
In her heart, she unconsciously thought:
'After reading the commentary yesterday, I feel even more that the women of Douluo Continent seem destined to find a man. It's like a curse of fate.'
'If that's truly the case, I might as well choose Song Ye…'
'He has shown me great kindness. Without him, I might not even survive in the future.'
'Moreover, he doesn't have Tianheng's arrogance from being born into a great sect, and his character is quite good.'
'Perhaps this man is indeed far better than other men.'
'Grandfather originally wanted me to serve Song Ye. Perhaps… I should accept this outcome…'
'And Grandfather said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, also seems to have intentions of connecting Song Ye with Ning Rongrong.'
'It seems I have to be more proactive and secure Song Ye by my side before other women take him away.'
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan blushed even more.
The only method she could think of to secure Song Ye was to use her own body.
She wasn't even sure whether her body alone could truly win Song Ye over completely.
No matter what, Dugu Yan decided to give it a try, not just for herself, but also for her grandfather…
After chatting for a while, Dugu Bo simply left. He still needed to continue stabilizing his soul core and attempt to learn how to skillfully utilize its advantages.
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, only Dugu Yan and Song Ye remained.
Dugu Yan was still very shy, her face flushed as she looked at Song Ye. Song Ye, however, was a bit puzzled:
"Wait, you've already drunk my blood, so why is your face still so red from the heat?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned. She was in the middle of persuading herself and replied awkwardly:
"No, it's not that… it's not because of the heat…"
"Song Ye, thank you."
"If it weren't for you, both my grandfather and I wouldn't have survived. Our lives were given by you."
"Not to mention, you've also given me my current talent…"
Song Ye waved his hand and said calmly, "No need for that."
"To put it nicely, I'm willing to be friends with you."
"To put it bluntly, I'm also trying to win you over. I want to make use of Dugu Bo's Titled Douluo combat strength."
"Song Ye, you're so straightforward, much better than those hypocritical people…" Dugu Yan sighed after hearing this.
During this period, she had been watching the commentary on the light screen. The male characters mentioned there were all extremely hypocritical.
For example, Dai Mubai (with Zhu Zhuqing), Oscar (with Ning Rongrong), and Tang San (with Xiao Wu)—these men were all inconsistent inside and out, utterly hypocritical.
For women, sometimes if you are obviously bad and direct about it, they might even like that cool feeling.
As the saying goes, bad men attract women.
But deception and hypocrisy were far more unacceptable to women.
Thus, hearing Song Ye openly admit that he wanted to win over Dugu Bo actually increased Dugu Yan's favor toward him.
It was all thanks to the contrast with those other male characters.
Coupled with various factors, Dugu Yan already wanted to win Song Ye over. The more she thought about it, the faster her heart raced, and her feelings stirred.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but murmur:
"Song Ye, do you… Really want to win us over?"
"Then… if I were with you, wouldn't our relationship become closer?"
"My grandfather said the same thing before…"
At this point, Dugu Yan lowered her head, her voice becoming even softer.
Hearing this, Song Ye replied casually, "Yes, I do want to win over your grandfather."
"But sorry, I don't want to be bound by a woman."
"Be with you? You are indeed very beautiful, but what I want is freedom…"
"Then what if…"
Dugu Yan gathered her courage again and said, "What if I don't bind you?"
"We can all see that your talent and those theoretical insights of yours could easily change the power structure of the continent."
"My grandfather also told me I must find a way to win you over."
"I think… I have nothing except myself…"
"Song Ye, can you give me a chance?"
"A chance for me to at least repay you, and even to form an inseparable connection with you…"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Song Ye finally sensed something was off.
He knew that to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, he was both their savior and someone who had given them a new life.
In such a feudal society, this kind of favor could be repaid with one's life.
And for women, it often meant offering themselves in marriage.
But Song Ye absolutely did not want to be bound by beauty and desire.
Yet Dugu Yan was saying she wouldn't bind him and still wanted to repay him with herself?
Damn! It couldn't be that, right…
Song Ye actually felt a bit hesitant. After all, in both his previous and current lives, he had never truly been with a woman.
Now that something seemed to be happening, he immediately grew nervous.
His mouth went dry as he took a few steps back and questioned, "Dugu Yan, you… You're not thinking of…?"
Seeing that he had guessed it, Dugu Yan became even more embarrassed. She nodded shyly and murmured:
"Song Ye, this is the only way I can form a connection with you and repay you…"
"Song Ye, you won't dislike me, right~?"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan had already stepped forward and gently began to remove her clothes…
