Unlike Tang San, who only became handsome after awakening his spirit, Yu Tianming was born with exceptional looks.
After being refined by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his already near-perfect appearance gained an otherworldly flawlessness, enough to make anyone feel inferior.
If full marks for appearance were a hundred, Yu Tianming could score 99.5 plus another 20 points.
Even a newborn baby would spare a second glance for someone with such looks—let alone people from Douluo Dalu, where getting married before ten isn't unheard of.
While the two were laughing and chatting, Dugu Yan's face was bright red, but she still softly let out an almost inaudible "mm."
Though the sound was tiny, both had sharp senses and caught it clearly.
Yu Yuanzhen burst out laughing with even more delight, his previously teasing gaze now tinged with fondness for the younger generation.
Yu Tianming was momentarily stunned and said helplessly, "Yan Yan, you're still young. Let's talk about this kind of thing when you've grown up."
After a satisfying meal, Yu Yuanzhen brought the two away from Dragon Hidden City and flew toward Longji City, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was based.
The cities were fairly close, and within moments, the group returned to their clan.
Since Yu Yuanzhen and his brother had been away, the affairs of the clan were being handled by other elders.
Upon arriving, Yu Yuanzhen instructed an elder reviewing paperwork, "Fourth Elder, please go retrieve the poison-type soul bone stored in the warehouse two years ago."
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, soul bones that weren't from dragon-type spirits or thunder attributes were typically used for trade to obtain better-matched ones.
But poison-type soul masters were rare, and this particular poison-type soul bone wasn't especially outstanding, so it had been kept.
Soon, the elder returned with the soul bone.
It was a gray left arm bone of good quality, harvested from a 4,000-year-old sea serpent. Although not a ten-thousand-year soul bone, it was still extremely valuable.
Yu Yuanzhen handed it to Dugu Yan with a half-joking, half-serious smile.
"This soul bone can treat the serpent venom in your body. If you marry Tianming in the future, consider this one part of your dowry."
Dugu Yan didn't say a word and just lowered her head shyly.
Yu Yuanzhen then summoned a maid to accompany her, while he and Yu Tianming entered a quiet study. He handed him the Immortal Herb Catalogue.
"This was given to me by Yang Wudi. It contains most of the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Choose one to absorb first."
"Our clan has never seen a talent as great as yours in generations. To avoid accidents, you should also choose two herbs for Tianxin and Tianheng to absorb first."
Yu Tianming quickly made his selections, then looked up and asked, "Grandfather, what type of herb do you plan to absorb?"
Yu Yuanzhen smiled. "These herbs are better suited for younger generations. I'm already a Title Douluo, and the effect wouldn't be as great for me. Besides, you need to leave something for your own descendants too."
Yu Tianming was stunned and moved. "Grandfather, you're the pillar of our clan. Only with your high cultivation can we, your grandsons, truly grow and thrive."
He pointed to one of the herbs in the book. "This herb doesn't have any special properties, but it boosts spirit power cultivation the most. It might help you become a Peak Douluo."
Yu Yuanzhen laughed. "Tianming, you're so thoughtful. Then this old man will go ahead and 'waste' one of the herbs."
After reaching an agreement, they returned to the guest hall where Dugu Yan was waiting.
Yu Yuanzhen summoned Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, then said seriously, "There's something important. You two, come with me to Heaven Dou City."
He turned to Dugu Yan with a smile. "I can only carry the two of them. Let Tianming take you."
Yu Tianming knew perfectly well that Yu Yuanzhen could carry far more than just two people using soul power. This was clearly an excuse.
But he didn't question it. He simply picked up Dugu Yan and soared into the sky.
Yu Yuanzhen, meanwhile, grabbed Tianheng and Tianxin with each arm and also took off toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As a Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen could freely fly and travel quickly just by leaning his body slightly forward.
Yu Tianming, on the other hand, had to rely on his wings. Carrying someone meant flying face down, holding the person in his arms.
Dugu Yan hadn't yet attached her first spirit ring, and her martial spirit didn't allow her to change size.
At only six years old, she was barely 1.4 meters tall, with thin limbs—her build not unlike that of Haibara Ai from Detective Conan.
Naturally, raised with modern values in his past life, Yu Tianming didn't harbor any improper thoughts.
Since Heaven Dou City was quite far, it would take a while to fly there. To keep Dugu Yan comfortable, he supported her neck with one hand and her waist with the other.
When Yu Yuanzhen had used soul power to carry her, she wasn't afraid. But now, being flown by Yu Tianming, with her back to the ground and facing the sky, she stiffened in fear and tightly hugged Yu Tianming's neck, her face pressed right up against his.
At nine years old, Yu Tianming was already 1.75 meters tall—about the height of an adult. Dugu Yan, hanging from him, looked just like a child clinging on.
He didn't think much of it, but Dugu Yan's imagination was clearly running wild, and her face grew even redder.
Yu Tianming noticed how hot her cheek felt against his and chuckled silently. Even Ah Zhu, who has fire attributes, doesn't feel this hot usually.
After flying for half an hour, Dugu Yan's legs, which had been straightened the whole time, couldn't hold up anymore. She ended up resting them against Yu Tianming's waist.
Her pale face blushed once again, and she shut her eyes in sheer embarrassment.
Yu Tianming's flying speed was nowhere near that of a Title Douluo.
What would have taken Yu Yuanzhen a few hours stretched until dawn the next day for the group.
At that moment, Dugu Bo had just finished suppressing his internal poison in his cave.
In pain and frustration, he stepped outside—only to see Yu Tianming's massive wings sweep over his head.
There was someone hanging from him.
A closer look—it was his granddaughter.
Dugu Bo's anger exploded. He knew all too well what kinds of tastes the nobles in Heaven Dou City had.
His granddaughter was only six! That beast actually dared lay a hand on her? Did he think Dugu Bo was dead?
With a few quick steps, he overtook Yu Tianming and landed on the mountain ridge above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, eyes cold and sinister as he waited.
Yu Tianming noticed Dugu Bo's dark expression and assumed he was just feeling unwell from his poisoning.
He landed in front of him and greeted, "Senior, why are you still up so late?"
Dugu Bo didn't answer. Ignoring even Yu Yuanzhen in the distance, he stared daggers at Yu Tianming and growled, "Put my granddaughter down. Now."
