Chapter 26 Little brother, what are you doing? My snake!
"Grandpa, what are you cooking? It smells so good."
As soon as Dugu Yan entered the realm of ice and fire, she smelled a pleasant fragrance.
Dugu Yan: Hmm, let me guess, could it be braised fish?
"I didn't cook anything, maybe..."
Dugu Bo: I never expected a nine-year-old child to be able to cook. That's really unbelievable.
Unlike Tang San, who was forced to learn to cook because his father Tang Hao didn't care, this was different.
Bai Ran can cook, mainly because she learned it from her father.
Moreover, looking at the entire Douluo Continent, almost every famous female Soul Master is not very good at cooking.
Furthermore, after Pope Bibi Dong became a representative of women and declared her intention to defend the rights of female Soul Masters.
What? You expect us women to cook? Don't you men know how to cook?! Who says women have to cook? You're objectifying women!
……
"Hey, little brother, what are you doing here?"
Stepping into the cabin, I saw the little guy standing in front of the stove.
Dugu Yan asked with a hint of doubt.
Dugu Yan: Could it be that Grandpa has learned about the little brother's extraordinary talent and is considering taking him as a disciple? That shouldn't be the case, I haven't told Grandpa about this little brother.
"Sister Yan Yan, I've come to learn from Senior Dugu Bo."
To be precise, they actually came to seize the opportunities here.
Bai Ran: I am destined to encounter the miraculous herbs here.
I originally planned to come after some time had passed and I had become good friends with Dugu Yan.
But who could have imagined that he could cross paths with Dugu Bo ahead of time through Prince Xuexing?
Speaking of which, I really have to thank that classmate Xiao Xianlu.
If it weren't for her outrageous behavior and remarks, Bai Ran would never have seen Prince Xue Xing, that "busy man".
Of course, if you manage to stop the avalanche, you might even get to see Prince Snowstar himself.
But at this point in time, Xue Beng isn't even a Great Soul Master and isn't even in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Where is Bai Ran supposed to beat him up? Does he have to go to the palace to beat him up?
(In the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils first arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xue Beng only had a soul power level of around level 20. Now, the timeline is five years ago, so Xue Beng's soul power level is only around level 10, which is normal.)
……
"You come to Grandpa to learn from him, but what can that old man possibly teach you?"
It wasn't that Dugu Yan looked down on her grandfather.
The main reason is that this little brother is a support-type Soul Master, even though her grandfather is already a Title Douluo, who is knowledgeable and experienced.
How is it any different for a poison-attribute beast spirit control type soul master to teach a buff aura type weapon spirit support type soul master? It's like having a PE teacher teach you math.
"Hmm, Sister Yan Yan, aren't you giving your grandfather any face?"
When Dugu Yan uttered the words "old thing," Bai Ran saw Dugu Bo walk in through the door and froze on the spot, his expression clearly changing.
"What face does he have?"
To outsiders, her grandfather, Dugu Bo, was a titled Douluo, a prominent figure in the world of Soul Masters.
But in Dugu Yan's eyes, her grandfather was a nagging old man and the source of the family's disaster.
Why, why did you choose to pass down the Azure Scale Serpent martial spirit, which carries such a huge hidden danger?
Because her mother was poisoned by the Green Scale Snake, she died shortly after giving birth to Dugu Yan.
Her father, unable to bear the backlash from the snake venom, also passed away when Dugu Yan was ten years old.
The thought that he too would die young because he inherited the Azure Serpent Martial Soul made him feel utterly ashamed.
Dugu Yan felt utterly hopeless.
Even though her grandfather treated her very well, could do almost anything she wanted, and was even willing to travel the world to find a way to resolve the hidden dangers of the Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul for her sake.
However, the girl's rebellious nature caused Dugu Yan to selectively forget these things and only remember hatred.
"Oh, right, Sister Yan Yan, have you eaten yet?"
My food is almost ready, let's eat some together.
Bai Ran, being an outsider, stated that he would not participate in the family affairs of Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.
So they quickly changed the subject.
"It smells pretty good, little brother. What are you making? Let me see."
After wrapping her fingers in her soul power, Dugu Yan lifted the lid of the earthenware jar.
A rich, savory aroma wafts out.
"Huh, is that an eel?"
Dugu Yan pointed to the food in the earthenware pot and asked.
These segments must be eels.
But why is the eel skin green? Could it have mutated?
"Sister Yan Yan, this is not an eel."
This is snake soup, incredibly delicious, everyone should try it.
"Snake, snake soup? You said you used snake to make this dish!"
Although Soul Masters with snake-type Martial Souls will adhere to the principle of not wasting food after absorbing the Soul Rings of snake-type Soul Beasts, they will cook and eat the meat of the snake-type Soul Beasts.
But as a Soul Master who keeps snakes as pets, would you really eat the meat of your own pet?
It's somewhat unsettling.
"What, snake soup?"
"My snake!"
When Dugu Bo heard these words, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
The snakes in this room were hard-won, some of which he had bred for many years; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them his good companions.
The banded krait is still there;
The sharp-nosed viper was also there;
Circular viper, intact.
Wait a minute, where's my bamboo viper?!
That was a venomous snake that was about to transform into a top-tier venomous creature.
To further enhance its toxicity, Dugu Bo even fed it many rare herbs.
And you little brat, you just stewed it!
If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier the more you think about it; if you give in, they'll take an inch and then a mile.
Watching the bamboo leaf green tea disappear, I walked to the stove and looked at the "green spicy strips" inside.
Dugu Bo was furious. He grabbed Bai Ran by the collar and lifted him up.
"Hmm, old man, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
To be honest, this snake soup should be delicious. Why don't you try some first?
Dugu Bo: ? ? ?
If the jar weren't so small, Dugu Bo would have really wanted to put Bai Ran inside and let him experience the feeling of going from acquaintance to familiarity.
"Wait a minute, you're a support-type Soul Master, aren't you?"
Dugu Bo suddenly discovered the blind spot.
As a poisonous creature he cultivated, according to the strength classification of soul beasts, the Bamboo Leaf Green is also considered to be an eight or nine hundred-year-old soul beast.
Even combat-type soul masters of level 30 or above would find it troublesome to deal with soul beasts of this level.
You're a support-type Soul Master who's only level 30 or 40 now, what makes you think you can defeat it?
Dugu Bo was not surprised by Bai Ran's sudden surge in soul power.
After all, the pills were refined by this little guy using his martial soul, and even he, a titled Douluo, was able to break through four levels in a row.
For Bai Ran, a mere Soul Venerable, breaking through more than ten levels is nothing special.
If it weren't for the fact that no soul rings were attached, it would be impossible to know the exact level of soul power in the next stage.
Dugu Bo estimated that this kid could even directly advance to the Soul King level.
