…
Wuhun City.
"Xue Xing? Why would he get involved in this?"
Yue Guan and the other man who failed in their attempt to kill Dugu Bo quickly returned to Wuhun City and reported the entire incident from beginning to end.
"A guest of the Tiandou royal family? Interesting." Bibi Dong rested her chin on her hand, thinking about her next move.
"Since Dugu Bo has become a guest of the Tiandou royal family, we cannot do anything to him for the time being."
"At least we can't do it openly... Never mind, let's ignore that old poisonous creature for now."
"Tell me about that kid with the strange domain. Is it really a domain that can even affect Title Douluo?"
"Reporting to Your Holiness the Pope, it is absolutely true!" Yue Guan said.
"Old Ghost and I have felt that strange domain more than once. Although we can quickly break free by bursting our soul power, as long as the domain is activated first, we will be affected for a moment no matter how well prepared we are."
"Whether it's soul power, body, vision, or breathing, there will be a momentary sense of suppression. It's very uncomfortable."
"So domineering?" Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows, very surprised.
The innate domain does allow spirit masters to have more powerful dominance among the same class, but how can a child who is not even a spirit master influence a Titled Douluo?
Even the angel realm of the Qian family's six-winged angel martial spirit cannot do this.
"Then why don't you bring him back?" Bibi Dong asked.
"You can't kill Dugu Bo, and you can't even catch a child?"
"Your Holiness, it's not that we don't want to catch him, it's that the guy has already mixed up with Dugu Bo." Yue Guan said nervously.
"How deep of a relationship can a kid who just awakened his martial spirit have with someone like Dugu Bo?" Bibi Dong said.
"What if the old poisoner poisoned the kid and threatened him?"
"This..." Yue Guan was speechless for a moment and subconsciously looked at the ghost.
Gui Mei recalled, "That boy was... a little strange at the time. He did want to leave with us at first, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped, as if he had concerns."
"Given Dugu Bo's character, poisoning him is very likely."
A six-year-old child, facing that kind of situation, would never make that kind of decision if there was no compelling reason!
"Since that old poisonous creature has become a guest official of the Tiandou royal family, he will definitely release people to Tiandou City." Bibi Dong said.
"Yueguan, go check out the situation. If you have a chance, bring the person back."
"What if that guy is really hanging out with Dugu Bo?" Yue Guan asked.
"Do I need to teach you this kind of thing?" Bibi Dong said.
He is not even a spirit master yet, but his domain is so overbearing. If he really grows up, it will definitely cause trouble! ...
On the other side, after resting in the Tiandou Empire military camp for a few days, Dugu Bo brought Xuan Ming back to his residence in Tiandou City.
A very quiet house far away from the bustling city.
"grandfather!"
As soon as he entered the yard, a little girl who looked less than ten years old with long green hair ran over and jumped onto Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, where have you been? Why haven't you sent any news for so long?" Dugu Yan asked.
"Something happened while I was out, so I was delayed for some time." Dugu Bo put Dugu Yan on the ground with a kind smile on his face.
"Come, let me introduce you to a friend."
"Friend?" Dugu Yan shifted her gaze to the handsome little boy standing behind Dugu Bo. He had long snow-white hair, wore a simple black robe, had a pair of strange footless black dragons behind him, and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
"His name is..." Dugu Bo paused and turned to look at Xuan Ming.
"What's your name?"
"Xuan Ming."
"Oh, yes, Xuan Ming." Dugu Bo nodded.
"Yanyan, Grandpa has some things to deal with. I'll leave him with you for the next period of time and let you get along well." Duguyan looked strange, "Grandpa, you didn't kidnap him from somewhere, did you?"
You don't even know the person's name, how can you still be my friend?
"He wasn't kidnapped, he was picked up." Dugu Bo said.
"You can ask him for the details. Grandpa's matter is a bit urgent, so I'm leaving now."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Dugu Yan to say anything else, he turned around and flew away.
"Hey!"
Dugu Yan was about to shout, but Dugu Bo had completely disappeared from her sight.
"What's the hurry..."
Dugu Yan looked at the direction where Dugu Bo disappeared in confusion. After a long while, she retracted her gaze and looked at the little boy in front of her who was only about six years old.
"Xuan Ming?"
Xuan Ming glanced at Dugu Yan and replied calmly, "Yeah."
Dugu Yan looked at the two black dragons behind Xuan Ming with some curiosity, "What are the two dragons behind you?"
"The martial soul has mutated." Xuan Ming said.
"Mutation?" Dugu Yan walked behind Xuan Ming and lifted the black robe covering him.
"Is it really growing on my body?"
The twin dragons grew out from under Xuan Ming's shoulder blades, and at first glance, it looked as if they had come directly out of his body.
If humans had wings, they would probably grow from here.
"Your martial soul mutation is really...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Dugu Yan, who was about to reach out and touch the black dragon, suddenly stepped back and almost fell to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Dugu Yan looked at Xuan Ming angrily.
If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been bitten by the dragon! Xuan Ming turned his head and looked at Dugu Yan in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"You!" Seeing Xuan Ming's clueless look, Dugu Yan became even angrier.
"I just touched it, do you have to bite me?"
"Touch?" Xuan Ming looked at the black dragon on his left, only to see it staring straight at Dugu Yan.
"I'm sorry, these two dragons will move on their own when they encounter some stimulation. They are not completely under my control."
"Move by yourself?" Dugu Yan looked doubtful.
"Didn't you say this was your martial spirit? How could it move on its own?"
"They are my martial spirits, but they are not completely under my control." Xuan Ming said.
"You can think of this as their instinctive reaction after being touched. Not only you, but even I get hit by them sometimes."
"Really?" Dugu Yan was still a little skeptical.
How could there be a soul master who couldn't even control his own martial soul?
Xuan Ming thought for a moment, "Do you know the knee-jerk reaction?"
"Knee-jerk...reaction?" Dugu Yan looked confused.
"What is that?"
"Sit down and put one leg over the other. I'll show you." Xuan Ming said.
Dugu Yan sat on the stone pier with doubt in his heart, "If you can't explain it clearly, you'll be beaten."
Xuan Ming walked to Dugu Yan's side and reached out to tap the ligament below her right knee.
"Huh?" Dugu Yan looked at her calf that was jumping uncontrollably in confusion. She reached out and tapped it, and her calf bounced up again.
When she exerted force to control her calves, the reaction became very mild, but her calves still felt like they wanted to bounce up.
