NOVEL WEB Chapter 84: Chapter 84: How About I Introduce a Friend to You?
"Ahem, Old Poison, you're not exactly young anymore."
"Can't you be more serious in daily life?"
"I've told you all before—I already have a girlfriend."
Hearing Dugu Bo's shameless remarks, Yunxiao couldn't help but feel exasperated.
First, Qian Renxue tried to arrange a Bed Warmer for him.
Then, people misunderstood Su Xiaoli as his Bed Warmer.
And now, Dugu Bo was outright suggesting Dugu Yan become his Bed Warmer.
One after another, it never ended.
Now that he'd finally run into two acquaintances, they were still acting like this.
He really had an endless saga with these so-called Bed Warmers.
Just then, upon hearing the suggestion that she become a Bed Warmer, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth before slowly speaking.
"Grandfather, you truly are my wonderful grandfather."
"Your first suggestion is for me to become a Bed Warmer."
"Do you believe me if I say I'll just live with Ling Ling from now on?"
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll pluck out all your beard hairs!"
Though Dugu Yan couldn't be called a peerless beauty, she was still exceptionally pretty.
Suggesting she become Yunxiao's Bed Warmer—was she really that undesirable?
Admittedly, she acknowledged that Yunxiao was indeed one of the most handsome men around.
But Yunxiao had already clearly rejected her feelings before.
And now this old matter was being brought up again.
This... was extremely awkward for her.
After all, she and Yunxiao were now good friends...
"Now, now, Yanzi, don't be angry."
"Grandfather is only thinking of your wellbeing."
"You're already in your twenties."
"But you still don't have a partner."
"Can't I be anxious for you?"
Seeing Dugu Yan's anger, Dugu Bo played his trump card—openly pressuring her to marry.
On the precociously mature Douluo Continent, most young men and women in their twenties were already parents.
And indeed, the moment marriage pressure was mentioned, Dugu Yan shot Dugu Bo a resentful look.
Was it that she didn't want to find a partner or boyfriend?
It was just that there were no suitable candidates around her.
The Shi Mo and Shi Ge brothers?
They were honest enough.
But neither was her type.
Yu Feng?
Don't even joke about it.
That was completely impossible.
She and Yu Feng were more like sisters.
If others didn't know about Yu Feng's circumstances, how could she not?
After all, they'd been teammates for years, spending days and nights together.
Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Yunxiao stroked his chin before speaking up.
"Yanzi, you've been wanting to find someone recently?"
"How about I introduce a friend to you?"
He observed Dugu Yan, who was clearly dressed up with care.
Her emerald green hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, the ends slightly curled, swaying gently with her movements.
The form-fitting purple cheongsam perfectly accentuated her graceful curves.
The high slit extended to her thighs, revealing glimpses of her long, fair legs.
Paired with purple high heels, it added to her charm and allure.
Though not as breathtaking as Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan was still a rare beauty.
Moreover, she possessed talent capable of impacting Deity status.
Just thinking about this made Yunxiao want to introduce Huo Wulu to her.
After all, that fellow Huo Wulu was still single.
As the king of the Elf Clan, he truly had to worry endlessly for his people.
As an elder of the Elf Clan, wouldn't it be reasonable for you, Huo Wulu, to contribute to the clan?
Huo Wulu: "..."
Oh no, is this aimed at me?
Upon hearing Yunxiao's words, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both cast curious glances his way.
"Brother Yunxiao, who is this friend you mentioned?"
"Hmm, just a friend?"
"Your Excellency Yunxiao, do you have any other friends?"
Only one friend? That wouldn't be enough for our Yan Yan to choose from.
At the very least, there should be three or five candidates.
Thinking this, Dugu Bo also fixed an intense gaze on Yunxiao.
Seeing their curious looks, Yunxiao chuckled lightly before speaking slowly.
"Well, my friend..."
"His name is Huo Wulu, Titled 'Flame' Douluo..."
He then proceeded to explain Huo Wulu's basic circumstances.
For the sake of the Elf Clan's future, he had no choice but to play matchmaker this once.
On the Douluo Continent, girls like Dugu Yan, with talent capable of impacting Deity status, were exceedingly rare.
Even if he and she weren't fated to be together,
that didn't prevent them from becoming in-laws or something similar.
Meanwhile, the scene shifted.
In the study of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace in Heaven Dou City,
"Xue Qinghe" was currently reporting something to Emperor Xue Ye.
"Qinghe, you're saying..."
"That Elf Crown is the patriarch of the Elf Clan?"
"And that cat girl named Su Xiaoli..."
"Is actually a high-level Soul Grandmaster with four black Soul Rings?"
"Not only that, but two Titled Douluo elders..."
"With Soul Ring configurations of eight black and one red..."
"Have also arrived at the Elf Residence?"
After hearing "Xue Qinghe's" report, Xue Ye was utterly shocked.
As if to confirm the veracity of the news,
he abruptly stood up, his gaze locked intensely on "Xue Qinghe."
The memorials piled on the desk were sent scattering to the floor in disarray,
and the still-wet ink on the documents smeared into dark blotches.
He was aware of that cat girl named Su Xiaoli.
Originally called Su Yatou, she had been a commoner within the Heaven Dou Empire.
At age six, with the help of a Spirit Hall deacon,
she awakened her Beast Martial Soul—a black cat—with innate Soul Power of level eight.
But during the awakening, an accident occurred.
The failed awakening left her with cat ears and a tail.
In the following years, she was regarded as an ill omen by the villagers.
Some time ago, she was captured by a rogue mercenary group,
then sold to the Heaven Dou Auction House.
In the end, it was Ning Fengzhi who handed her over to curry favor with Yunxiao, the Elf Douluo Crown.
One could say that from the very first day Su Xiaoli was brought to the Elf Residence by Yunxiao,
her entire background and history had been thoroughly investigated by Xue Ye.
No—to be precise,
within days of Su Xiaoli being taken to the Elf Residence by Yunxiao,
all intelligence regarding her had already landed on the desks of every major faction's leadership.
Although that catgirl wasn't an important figure.
She was, after all, the first girl to reside in the Elf Residence.
This fact alone was enough to draw attention from other factions.
You must understand - in the past, the Elf Residence.
Had never permitted any female to live within its walls.
Not even a cleaning maid.
Nor any girl responsible for daily care.
