Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

"Finally back!"

After ten long days in the Star Dou Forest, Ye Yu, with Xiao Wu in tow, transformed into a bolt of lightning and rocketed through the sky—racing back to Soto City.

Landing in front of the familiar Zirui Grand Hotel, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Ye Yu's handsome face.

In the forest, he'd used his External Spirit Bone: Demon Willow Fluff to devour the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree's Spirit Power, life force, and even its bloodline essence.

Afterward, he hunted and absorbed the power of the Wind-Thunder Skyhawk, Darknight Bat, and the Devourer Demon Dragon.

Ten days of nonstop hunting, sleeping in the wild, and exhausting soul battles…

Now all he wanted was a hot bath and a deep sleep in the presidential suite.

"Ah Yu! You're back!"

"Ye Yu, you're finally back!"

x3

As Ye Yu opened the door to the suite with Xiao Wu behind him, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong all rushed to greet him.

Four breathtaking women—each with distinct charm—beamed with joy and surprise at his return.

But Ye Yu quickly noticed a subtle divide:

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood close together—clearly a united front.

While Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing mirrored them from the opposite side.

"Ah Yu, what kind of soul beasts did you encounter in Star Dou this time?"

As the official girlfriend, Dugu Yan stepped forward naturally and linked her arm around Ye Yu's left.

Her confident, heroic beauty was on full display as she smiled and asked casually.

As for Xiao Wu? Dugu Yan didn't even glance at her.

After all, once Ye Yu had revealed Xiao Wu's true identity to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, there was no way he'd keep it from her and Ye Lingling.

In her eyes, Xiao Wu was no threat.

Just a walking Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

Watching Dugu Yan claim Ye Yu's arm, Ning Rongrong puffed up her cheeks in frustration.

Why hadn't she thought to do that first?!

Hmph!

But with Ye Yu's right arm still unclaimed, Rongrong stepped forward without hesitation and took it.

If Dugu Yan was asking about Star Dou matters, Ning Rongrong played it differently—her deep blue eyes brimming with concern as she leaned into her role as the "adorable little sister."

"Ye Yu-gege, you've been out there for ten days, sleeping rough and fighting spirit beasts. You must be exhausted."

"Why don't you take a hot bath first? I can head downstairs and pack up some hot food and drinks for you from the restaurant."

Despite acting like a doting little sister in front of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Ye Yu knew better.

He knew Ning Rongrong's true personality well enough to feel his mouth twitch awkwardly.

Still, the strange but balanced energy between his four women was… oddly harmonious.

At least no one was throwing punches—yet.

Honestly, he felt pretty lucky.

Then, for no particular reason, Ye Yu thought of Qian Renxue in her disguise as Xue Qinghe, and couldn't help but muse:

"They say triangles are the most stable structure…

I wonder if that applies to relationships too."

"I'll go run the bath!"

Zhu Zhuqing, ever efficient, dashed off to the bathroom the moment Rongrong mentioned it—quickly activating the soul tool water heater.

Yes—Soul Tool Water Heater.

It might sound sci-fi, but just like amplification soul tools, they were real.

Many of these devices were discovered in ancient ruins, relics from lost civilizations.

If those ancient soul engineers could create Storage Soul Tools, a water heater wasn't far-fetched.

Compared to storage tools, amplifiers and heaters were simpler in design—though still incredibly valuable.

Even clans like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had begun researching how to repair broken units.

"Ugh, those two vixens…"

Watching Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong max out their affection strategies, Dugu Yan felt a mix of irritation and helplessness.

She had been with Ye Yu for years. She knew his temperament inside and out.

As long as she didn't lose her cool, her position couldn't be shaken.

But what about her bestie, Ye Lingling?

That girl was sweet, reserved… but utterly clueless about love!

Sure, with the Nine Heart Begonia, Lingling was hailed as the strongest support-type Spirit Master—and her graceful figure beneath that deep blue gown lived up to the "Ultimate Healer" title.

But Zhu Zhuqing?

That girl's figure was just as fierce—and paired with her cool demeanor and proactive attitude…

The contrast was infuriating.

"Lingling, my dear airhead… how are you going to win Ah Yu's heart like this?"

Sighing, Dugu Yan could only pray.

After Ye Yu finished his hot bath and stepped out, he found that Ning Rongrong really had gone out—and returned with hot food and wine.

"She actually followed through? This little troublemaker…"

Ye Yu couldn't help but be touched.

Nearby, Dugu Yan sat with Ye Lingling, her voice low as she whispered guidance—teaching her how to show affection and fight for Ye Yu's attention.

"Yanzi… I know."

Ye Lingling kept her head down, long dark-blue bangs hiding her eyes.

Her slender fingers rested gently on her stomach, and her reply came soft and cold.

When Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing went out for food, Dugu Yan refused to join them.

She had her pride. She wouldn't stoop to competing like that.

After dinner, Ye Yu was ready to collapse into bed and nap—planning to refine the energies stored within the Demon Willow Fluff Mother Body that night.

That would include:

The Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree

Wind-Thunder Skyhawk

Darknight Bat

Devourer Demon Dragon

Their Spirit Power, life essence, and bloodline origin—all ready for absorption.

"Yanzi, I'm going to the study to read."

As the most scholarly of the four, Ye Lingling had already memorized the meridian and acupuncture diagrams by heart.

While Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing continued reviewing in the side room, and Dugu Yan stayed in the living room poring over her diagrams…

Ye Lingling rose quietly.

She told them she was going to the study.

But instead of heading there…

She turned.

Her steps were light.

Her target: Ye Yu's room.

"Who says a quiet bookworm can't fight for love?"

Ye Lingling had read countless books—romance included.

She knew exactly how to win someone's heart.

In her mind, she was the one who met Ye Yu first.

They'd connected over books—gotten to know and appreciate one another through shared thoughts and mutual understanding.

She was Ye Yu's true first love.

Why should she grovel like Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong?

Her pride wouldn't allow it.

Her love with Ye Yu was subtle—silent, yet deep.

"Yanzi… I met him first."

In the past, she had kept her feelings hidden—for Dugu Yan's sake.

But now?

"I don't want to fall behind anymore."

Determined, Ye Lingling clenched her jade-like hands, a rare flush rising in her delicate face as her deep-blue eyes blazed with resolve.

And then…

She slipped quietly into Ye Yu's room.
