Chapter 28 - Is this considered... a dowry?

  The change in his martial soul made Dugu Bo temporarily forget the joy of his upgrade.

  Yu Xiaowei was also moved to tears.

  After so many years, finally, a martial soul under his radiation had undergone a benign mutation.

  Dugu Bo excitedly used his martial soul true form, constantly experimenting with the new martial soul that transformed into a dragon body.

  In the past, he was trapped by his snake body. Even though his Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial soul evolved into a top-tier beast martial soul when he achieved his title, and even though the evolved Azure Scale Serpent Emperor was still a dragon,

  a snake is still a snake.

  Facing other natural enemy types of beast martial souls, especially the true dragon type Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he was almost powerless to resist.

  This also established his reputation as the weakest titled Douluo.

  But now it's different. Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, his martial soul has transformed into a dragon and will no longer be suppressed by a true dragon.

  "Haha—"

  "From now on, my martial soul will be called Azure Scale True Dragon!!!"

  A hearty laugh echoed through the valley. His soul power had upgraded, his martial soul evolved, and all the poison was neutralized. Dugu Bo now couldn't wait to find Yue Guan and fight him to avenge the years of beatings he'd suffered.

  However, his laughter suddenly stopped, and a look of horror appeared in his enormous dragon eyes.

  "Senior, what happened?"

  Seeing Dugu Bo's alarmed expression, Yu Xiaowei quickly asked.

  Dugu Bo didn't speak, but instead lunged at the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, opening his mouth wide to reflect the water.

  In an instant, the temperature around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well plummeted; even the high temperature of the fire spring couldn't suppress the rising chill.

  Dugu Bo's body trembled violently, and a piercing wail shook the entire valley.

  "Where are my teeth!!!"

  ...

  Evening.

  Yu Xiaowei walked home, picking at his teeth.

  He hadn't expected things to go wrong again.

  Dugu Bo's martial soul had indeed evolved into the Azure Scale True Dragon. When he used the True Martial Soul form, his attack, defense, strength, and speed all increased dramatically.

  More importantly, the weakness period after the True Martial Soul form ended was gone, meaning he could use it again as soon as his soul power recovered.

  The problem was, the Azure Scale True Dragon's teeth were gone.

  Although Dugu Bo never liked using his teeth to attack enemies, it was like his bald head, which was constantly ridiculed.

  If he revealed this martial soul in the future, wouldn't he be laughed to death?

  Facing Dugu Bo's murderous gaze, Yu Xiaowei vehemently denied that the martial soul mutation was related to him, insisting that the martial soul had automatically evolved after Dugu Bo's poison was cured, thus escaping a beating.

  When he was almost home,

  Yu Xiaowei saw a petite figure anxiously pacing around the door.

  It was none other than Ning Rongrong.

  After being quiet for a few days, why was this little girl looking for him again late at night?

  "Rongrong, why are you here at this hour?"

  Yu Xiaowei called out from afar.

  Upon hearing his voice, Ning Rongrong immediately ran over excitedly, grabbing his hand and shaking it repeatedly.

  "Brother Xiaowei, where have you been? My dad said he needed to see you, but I haven't seen you all day."

  "What does Uncle Ning need me for?"

  "I don't know either. He just told me to come find you, saying it's good news."

  Ning Rongrong pulled Yu Xiaowei along, hurrying towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

  Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

  Chen Xin asked Ning Fengzhi worriedly.

  "Fengzhi, is it appropriate to give such a valuable item to that kid?"

  "Old Swordsman, you're just being nosy. I think it's perfect for Xiaowei. Once he's stronger, he can protect Rongrong."

  Gu Rong continued disdainfully from the side, "I think you're just prejudiced against Xiaowei."

  "Prejudice my ass!"

  Chen Xin immediately flew into a rage, blowing his beard and glaring as he cursed, "I'm worried that kid might be guilty of possessing such a treasure."

  "He's only level 38. What if someone with ulterior motives targets him while he's carrying such a valuable item?"

  "You, me, and Yu Yuanzhen, who can protect him every moment?"

  "If you ask me, we should wait until he's at least a Soul Emperor before giving it to him."

  Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to stop the two from arguing and said firmly.

  "Uncle Swordsman, there's no need to say more. My mind is made up. Xiaowei is a child with a bright future and deserves this item."   

  Even from a distance, Yu Xiaowei could hear the arguing inside the house.

  He leaned close to Ning Rongrong's ear and whispered,

  "Rongrong, what is your dad going to give me? Why does he want the Soul Emperor again? What are they arguing about?"

  Ning Rongrong's face flushed instantly, and she whispered back,

  "I don't know either. He just looks so mysterious."

  Just as the two of them were whispering, Chen Xin shouted,

  "What are you two whispering about outside? You're home now, why don't you come in!"

  "Hehehe,"

  Yu Xiaowei immediately grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand and awkwardly walked into the hall.

  As soon as he entered, he saw Ning Fengzhi holding a wooden box, looking conflicted.

  Chen Xin and Gu Rong were staring at each other, their faces red and necks thick; judging from their tense demeanor, they'd probably be stretching their muscles again soon.

  "Xiaowei, come here,"

  Ning Fengzhi smiled and beckoned to Yu Xiaowei.

  "Hello Uncle Ning, hello Grandpa Sword, hello Grandpa Bone."

  Yu Xiaowei politely stepped forward and bowed to each of them.

  Looking at the obedient Yu Xiaowei, Ning Fengzhi smiled, Gu Rong looked at him with affection, only Chen Xin snorted coldly.

  "Xiaowei, do you know who ambushed you this time?"

  It wasn't Ning Fengzhi who spoke first, but Gu Rong.

  "A titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire."

  Yu Xiaowei was confused by the question. Wasn't Ning Fengzhi going to give him a gift? How did it get to the old man who ambushed him?

  Gu Rong nodded.

  "That's right, that old guy was a royal retainer of the Star Luo Empire."

  "But he wasn't a member of the royal family, but a member of a collateral branch, and his awakened martial soul wasn't a white tiger, but a mutated black tiger."

  "Your Grandpa Sword, your uncle, and I joined forces to kill him."

  Yu Xiaowei was shocked. That day, he hadn't felt any earth-shattering aura at all. He thought that the old man in golden robes had been forced back by Gu Rong and the others.

  He didn't expect that he had actually been killed.

  He said with some worry,

  "Grandpa Bone, won't this cause a war between the two countries?"

  Gu Rong and the other two exchanged glances and then laughed.

  "For a newly promoted level 91 Title Douluo? A piece of trash who can't even beat Dugu Bo, the Star Luo Royal Family wouldn't risk offending our two families for him."

  Poor old man Dugu, he's become a unit of measurement.

  After silently mourning for Dugu Bo for a second, Yu Xiaowei continued listening to Gu Rong talk about what happened next.

  He had a vague premonition that what Ning Fengzhi was going to give him was likely related to this old man.

  "We found a treasure on that old guy."

  "The quality is exceptionally good."

  Gu Rong emphasized the word 'exceptionally good' and gestured for Ning Fengzhi to open the box.

  A miniature left leg bone lay quietly in the box, its surface shimmering with golden light.

  "A Soul Bone!!!"

  Yu Xiaowei exclaimed.

  If it were just an ordinary Soul Bone, he wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

  This was an extremely complete soul bone, flawless from thigh bone to shin bone, its immense energy practically bursting forth.

  Ning Fengzhi closed the box and handed it to Yu Xiaowei.

  "A soul bone at least fifty thousand years old, Xiaowei, Uncle Ning is giving it to you today."

  Chen Xin, standing beside him, hesitated, but Ning Fengzhi had already spoken, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

  Gu Rong watched happily as Yu Xiaowei accepted the soul bone.

  Clutching the soul bone box tightly to his chest, Yu Xiaowei grinned foolishly for a while.

  Suddenly, as if remembering something, he gasped.

  Under the questioning gazes of Ning Fengzhi and the others, Yu Xiaowei weakly asked,

  "Uncle Ning, is this... Rongrong's dowry?"

   (Sorry, I mixed up dowry and betrothal gifts; what the bride's family gives should be called dowry.)
