Night fell, inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well secret realm.
Dugu Bo was leisurely sitting in the wooden shed beside the wooden house, drinking tea, the food on the table still warm.
"Yan Yan… this is all for your own good. Counting the time, it should be about now!"
Outside was cold and quiet, but inside the room, it was hot.
In the food, Dugu Bo had only put in some sleep-inducing medicine, which was potent but not long-lasting.
Inside the room, the two people sharing the bed had already woken up one after another.
Ye Qiu opened his eyes, feeling a bit dizzy and a wave of heat through his body. He was about to rub his head.
"What's going on?!" He found his arm was pressed down.
"Miss Dugu!?" He looked down to see Dugu Yan lying in his arms.
If it weren't for their clothes still being relatively neat, Ye Qiu would have thought he had already acted like a beast.
"Ye, Ye Qiu!?"
Dugu Yan also looked at him strangely, and when she realized she was being held by Ye Qiu, and that she was also cooperatively wrapping her arms around his waist, a blush spread across her face, lingering for a long time.
She wanted to let go of Ye Qiu, but her body seemed to disobey her.
Instead, she held him even tighter, tilting her head up, inhaling the masculine scent from Ye Qiu's neck, somewhat intoxicated.
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Ye Qiu~ I, I'm a little dizzy…"
"Uh…" Feeling a slender leg pressing against him, Ye Qiu suddenly found his body becoming a bit unwell, already having thoughts!
Looking at the beautiful face getting closer and closer, and feeling her warm breath, Ye Qiu felt as if his body was on fire.
The heat rushed to his head, and in an instant, he was about to become excited.
"Miss Dugu! Are you alright?" Ye Qiu frowned, recalling the previous scene in his mind. He should still be eating!
"I'm fine, I… I just feel a little hot," Dugu Yan also suppressed the urge, biting her teeth tightly, pulling her leg back and together.
Hot? If you're hot, why are you still holding me?!
"W-why don't you get up first? Damn it, how could this be?!"
Although Ye Qiu said this, his body was already out of control, and he held Dugu Yan even tighter.
He suddenly understood Dugu Yan's state!
Ye Qiu tried to circulate the spirit power within his body, but it was like it had lost control, darting everywhere, even more excited than himself.
"Damn it! Where's Senior Dugu?!"
Ye Qiu felt as if his consciousness was being assaulted, his head growing heavier and heavier. With every breath, he inhaled the virginal fragrance emanating from Dugu Yan.
"It's Grandpa… He, he drugged us!"
Dugu Yan's face turned crimson, and her voice had a slight nasal tone. It was clear the medicine had begun to take effect.
Ye Qiu finally reacted; they had indeed been drugged!
"This old man!"
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, then remembered that this guy was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
In the original work, he had also planned to pull such a trick on Tang San, but he never expected to actually experience it himself.
Seeing Dugu Yan's consciousness becoming increasingly blurry and himself on the verge of succumbing, Ye Qiu bit his tongue, forcing himself to stay alert.
"Senior Dugu!"
Ye Qiu shouted towards the outside, but received no response.
"Senior Dugu, I know you're outside. Hurry and bring in the antidote! What you're doing… Uh! What, what should Miss Dugu do?!"
As Ye Qiu spoke, his body shivered.
Dugu Yan had already bitten his neck, with a slightly wet slide.
Ye Qiu's mind also heated up, and he uncontrollably pulled her into his arms, wanting further contact.
"Dugu Bo!!"
In a fit of rage, Ye Qiu roared, and even Dugu Yan in his arms regained a hint of clarity.
Clinging tightly to Ye Qiu, she desperately suppressed the urge to rise up and sing.
Finally, at Ye Qiu's shouts, Dugu Bo's voice came from outside.
"Boy, stop shouting! Don't think I don't know, Yan Yan has long had a good impression of you. As for you… you're a grown man, just be secretly happy! I'm just helping you two break through this thin veil!"
"…" Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Yan in his arms, taken aback, her condition already worsening.
Her clothes were half-undone, and her spring beauty was revealed.
Ye Qiu tilted his head back, clenched his fists, and veins bulged on his forehead!
"Ye Qiu…" Dugu Yan wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, hanging onto him.
Her consciousness was growing weaker and weaker!
Pressed by the heavy weight, Ye Qiu, already feeling unbearable heat, found it even harder to breathe, his breathing becoming heavier.
Looking at the half-exposed beauty before him, Ye Qiu's hands were already stirring restlessly.
"Even so, you shouldn't do such a thing! Hurry and bring the antidote! What you're doing, hmm, aren't you afraid she'll hate you?!"
Without time to think, Ye Qiu closed his eyes. He dared not look at Dugu Yan's movements as she removed her clothes, and continued to communicate with Dugu Bo outside.
"Boy, why can't it be done? Anyway, you two already have an engagement. Now it's just an early wedding night. Want the antidote? The antidote is right inside, as long as you two succeed, the medicine will naturally be cured!"
Outside, Dugu Bo took a sip of tea.
"As for whether Yan Yan will hate me, that's not for you to worry about! And don't hold back, why bother?!"
Dugu Bo popped a peanut into his mouth. He hadn't expected this kid's mental force to be quite good.
In the face of such a potent drug as 'I Love a Log', he could actually hold out for so long!
"Oh, and don't even think about running away. Your spirit power should already be out of your control, right? Even if you run, would you be willing to let Yan Yan die like this?"
'This old immortal!'
"…" Ye Qiu stopped speaking. Kissed by Dugu Yan, he could no longer open his mouth or speak.
Dugu Yan had almost finished preparing the preconditions; there wasn't much fabric left on her body.
Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her body was flushed with a deep, rosy hue.
Her full figure was faintly visible beneath the cover of her flowing high ponytail.
Her green eyes, like a clear blue ripple, were clouded with a layer of mist, gazing at Ye Qiu blankly.
All pretense stripped away.
Kiss! Her cherry lips parted slightly, holding Ye Qiu's lips.
Soft, sweet, and mouth-watering.
What was there to fear about holding the sun and moon, plucking stars?
Now, only the fervent heat in his mind remained, threatening to engulf his reason entirely.
"Mm…" A pang of conscience, Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan.
Ye Qiu suddenly felt a little wetness at the corner of his eye. He opened his eyes, and a tear dropped onto his eye!
What met his gaze was boundless springtime beauty.
But… the tear stains on Dugu Yan's face were even more moving than the stunning beauty, and Ye Qiu's mental force was shocked!
Kissing Ye Qiu, Dugu Yan seemed to lose strength, her body slowly sinking.
Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes like rain. As if feeling pain, her brows subtly furrowed, her face even more tear-streaked like a pear blossom in the rain.
She also didn't want to give herself away so vaguely.
Hiss! Ye Qiu felt a sense of pressure from his head, the sensation seeming to penetrate his soul, already entering some kind of realm.
'Damn it! Move, you idiot!'
Ye Qiu regained a bit of clarity, embracing Dugu Yan's body. He couldn't let her make a complete mistake, shouting inwardly.
Buzz!
The spirit power wildly swirling within his body suddenly surged towards his heart!
A bit of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Qiu had only just remembered that he still had a piece of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well inside him!
The extreme cold force within it would surely resolve this poison!
Splash!
A sound like crashing waves suddenly echoed from his heart.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in his chest was impacted by the spirit power, cold springs splashed, and a wave of chill quickly surged through Ye Qiu's limbs and bones along with his blood.
As the chill swept through, Ye Qiu's body even became covered in frost. This extreme cold force was also passed by Ye Qiu, mouth to mouth, to Dugu Yan on top of him.
The tears on her face, the sweat and water on her body, were all about to freeze, and frost also formed on her fair, rosy body.
Both of their bodies stiffened in the distance, staring wide-eyed at each other, so close.
Frost on their bodies emitted wisps of steam, slowly dissolving, and the heat within them was being released.
'It really works!'
A look of joy flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. His body regained movement, and he had just made a move.
Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with shyness, and she slowly closed them.
The heat in their bodies was absorbed, and the melting frost vaporized, the rising steam concealing the two of them.
As the steam dissipated, Dugu Yan collapsed onto Ye Qiu, her tender skin pressing against his.
"Mmm!" Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, her face the color of blood.
"Hiss," Ye Qiu also gasped, thankfully the position was shifted, otherwise Ye Qiu's struggle would have been in vain.
Looking at Dugu Yan in his arms, Ye Qiu slowly moved her off, put on his own clothes and pants that she had taken off, covered her with the quilt, and walked towards the door.
Dugu Yan bit her lip, looking at Ye Qiu's retreating back, couldn't help but pull the quilt tighter around her, and another line of clear tears fell from the corner of her eye.
...
In the wooden shed outside the room, Dugu Bo was mentally counting the time.
He had already put down the tea in his hand.
"What's going on? Is this kid not up to it?"
It was clearly the time for the medicine to fully take effect, yet there was no movement inside. If he hadn't still been able to sense two familiar auras inside, he would have thought Ye Qiu had run away!
"Crack!"
The sound of the door opening rang out. Ye Qiu's gaze quickly locked onto Dugu Bo, his eyes gleaming with fierceness.
"Old man! You play quite well, huh?!"
Dugu Bo looked at him in surprise, sizing him up and down, he didn't seem to have any hidden ailments, did he?
"Boy, why are you so fast?!"
Ye Qiu's eye twitched, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Fast? If he hadn't woken up early, he would have already knocked on the door. It was just that little bit, just a little bit away from completion!
Thinking about it, Ye Qiu felt a suffocating anger in his heart and didn't want to say anything more.
His eyes widened, and the red-and-purple Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan appeared in his eyes. With Susanoo enveloping him, Ye Qiu charged directly at Dugu Bo.
"You old bastard, you truly have found a way to die!"
"Susanoo!"
Leaping high, a blood-colored skeletal arm extended, held perfectly straight, and chopped down towards the wooden shed.
"Hey! You little brat! How dare you!"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then, instead of getting angry, he laughed, immediately realizing, 'I've even betrothed my granddaughter to you, and you're still so ungrateful!'
He also understood that Ye Qiu's Spirit Ability was strange, and as soon as he made a move, it was his Eighth Spirit Ability!
Nine spirit rings instantly appeared beneath his feet, and as the eighth spirit ring lit up, Dugu Bo's hoarse voice rang out.
"Eighth Spirit Ability! Time Freeze!"
Invisible ripples vibrated outwards, and his just-formed stance was frozen in mid-air.
"Third Spirit Ability, Corrosive Black Witch Serpent!"
As his voice fell, a murky black serpent shadow appeared above the wooden shed, its massive tail lashing towards Ye Qiu!
Bang! Ye Qiu was instantly sent flying.
Bang!
"Cough cough… Hiss!" Ye Qiu crashed onto the ground, leaving a large crater, gritting his teeth.
"You old man, was it necessary to use your Eighth Spirit Ability right away?!"
"Hmph! Boy, how is Yan Yan?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly. He hadn't really used much force, after all, he was still his grandson-in-law!
Thump! At the wooden house door, hurried footsteps sounded.
Hearing the commotion outside, Dugu Yan rushed out.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were very messy, her expression was flustered, and the flush on her face had not yet faded.
"Uh, Yan Yan!"
When Dugu Bo saw his granddaughter come out, his expression also became uncomfortable; he still felt a bit guilty.
Noticing Dugu Yan had come out, Ye Qiu also dared not speak again, lying obediently and motionless in the pit.
Dugu Yan, with disheveled hair, gave Ye Qiu, who was lying on the ground, a complicated look. Finding him unharmed, she then turned to Dugu Bo.
Her eyes gradually reddened, feeling a little wronged, and she slowly approached Dugu Bo.
Grandpa! Is this how you help your granddaughter? Just directly hand her over?
"Eh! Yan Yan, Yan Yan… Grandpa was wrong!"
Looking at Dugu Yan getting closer and closer, Dugu Bo also quickly admitted his mistake.
"Ouch!"
With Dugu Bo's cry of agony, about a tenth of his dark green beard was gone, and this time, a toe was also injured.
"…" Dugu Yan didn't speak, merely gave him a cold glance, then turned and went back into the room.
Seeing Dugu Yan walk away, Dugu Bo, who had been 'hopping around' from pain, also stopped, rubbing his chin.
Then he looked at Ye Qiu, who was still cowering in the pit.
"Hmph! Boy, stop playing dead!" Dugu Bo walked over, his voice showing no restraint.
"I don't care whether you two succeeded or not, but you need to know what you did! If you're a man, take responsibility!"
Inside the room, Dugu Yan naturally heard Dugu Bo's voice. She buried her head in the quilt, but all she smelled was Ye Qiu's refreshing scent.
While a little more anticipation filled her heart, she also became afraid. Thinking of the previous few close contacts, red clouds bloomed across her body.
Especially around her chest, both sides still hurt a little!
"You old man!"
Ye Qiu opened his eyes, just about to speak, but Dugu Bo didn't give him a chance, lowering his voice.
"Hehehe, kid~ I'll go hide for a while and come back later. Waiting for your good news!"
With that, Dugu Bo quickly formed hand seals and disappeared from the spot.
Ye Qiu watched the old immortal leave in confusion. Did this old man himself not bear any responsibility?
"Huu~"
"…" Exhaling a mouthful of stale air, Ye Qiu lay alone in the pit, lost in thought.
He hadn't expected that right after solving the peering door issue, such a scene, almost reaching completion, would occur.
Although he hadn't fallen deep into the dragon's den, it was still a glimpse, a touch.
The scenes flashed one by one in his mind. What he should and shouldn't have touched, he had touched. At this moment, that delicate body seemed to be imprinted in his mind, refusing to leave.
Ye Qiu slowly closed his eyes!
Dugu Yan was also in the room, quietly waiting for Ye Qiu's answer.
...
The night gradually deepened.
The mist above obscured the not-so-bright moonlight tonight.
Ye Qiu was still in the pit, eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep.
Dugu Yan hadn't fallen asleep yet, but she had already sat by the window, occasionally glancing at the motionless Ye Qiu in the pit.
Pressing her lips together and biting her teeth, Dugu Yan got up and walked towards the bed, picked up the quilt from the bed, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and approached Ye Qiu!
