Sign In To The Goddess Harem In Douluo

Chapter -49.

After a long moment of contemplation, Ye Chen finally looked up at Dugu Bo with a serious expression and said, "I respectfully decline!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes widened in fury, and his long hair swirled around him as if caught in a tempest from the intense energy he was releasing.

A green, poisonous mist began to seep from his body, quickly eroding the nearby flowers and plants into nothingness.

With great effort to restrain his anger, Dugu Bo shouted at Ye Chen, "What are you even thinking? My granddaughter is beautiful and kind, and I've prepared incredibly generous betrothal gifts. Anyone would jump at the chance, yet you..."

As he spoke, a massive wave of soul power burst forth uncontrollably, sending Ye Chen flying backward several meters.

Nearby, Dugu Yan turned pale and stared off into space, seemingly in shock.

"Senior, you've misunderstood."

Ye Chen rose from the ground, brushing off the dirt, and said with a friendly smile, "I have my reasons for declining; please let me explain."

"Explain? What's there to explain? You said no, so it's not a misunderstanding!"

Dugu Bo was seething, his martial spirit manifesting. The enormous Green Phosphor Snake Emperor glared at Ye Chen, exuding a chilling green mist that hinted at certain death from the poison it carried.

"It truly is a misunderstanding." Ye Chen shrugged with an air of helplessness and retrieved a translucent, twisted snake-shaped bone arm from his storage ring. He said earnestly, "I'm declining because my family has a rule: for any engagement, the groom must prepare the betrothal gifts. Considering the Dugu Bo family's elite status, I thought this 'soul bone' right arm would serve as an appropriate gift for Yan'er."

Once Ye Chen finished, he noticed Dugu Bo's anger fading, and Dugu Yan began to come back to herself, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

"Why didn't you say that sooner? If you had, this could have all ended happily!"

Dugu Bo erupted into laughter, jovially patting Ye Chen on the shoulder, almost dislocating it with his strength.

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan playfully scolded him, prompting Dugu Bo to realize he had gotten too enthusiastic. He straightened Ye Chen's collar and accepted the soul bone right arm.

"Alright, I accept the betrothal gift, but from now on, the Sunset Canyon is yours."

Dugu Bo's joy was palpable; he felt his matchmaking efforts were worthwhile as his granddaughter deserved someone like Ye Chen.

But suddenly, Dugu Bo's smile faltered as he examined the bone arm in awe. "Wait, this is the right arm soul bone from the 30,000-year-old Black Absolute Snake? This is incredibly valuable, isn't it?"

With the realization of the rarity of the item in his possession, Dugu Bo felt it warming to his touch. This was an extraordinarily rare soul bone, clearly indicating how much Ye Chen valued Yan'er.

Looking at Ye Chen with newfound respect, Dugu Bo initially thought this snake-shaped bone was merely a two or three-thousand-year-old soul bone, never imagining it held such age.

"As long as Poison Douluo approves, this is indeed Yan'er's betrothal gift and should not be taken lightly."

Dugu Bo understood now the weight of those words and the gravity of Ye Chen's intentions.

Turning to Dugu Yan, he couldn't resist patting her on the head, saying, "Little Yan'er, I'm confident in handing you over to Ye Chen. This young man is truly remarkable; you should treasure him." And with that, he nudged Dugu Yan toward Ye Chen.

"I object!"

Suddenly, a ferocious roar erupted from the distance, followed by two figures rushing in from outside Sunset Forest, reaching the valley in no time.

"Yu Tianheng, on what grounds do you object? This is between me and Ye Chen; it's none of your business!"

Dugu Yan shot back as she recognized the newcomers. She was determined to marry Ye Chen, and nothing would change that.

"Yan'er, have you forgotten all the wonderful things I've done for you? Before Ye Chen came to the academy, everyone said we were a perfect match. Have you forgotten that?"

Yu Tianheng shouted, visibly frustrated by the unfolding situation. His emotions boiled over as he realized Dugu Bo had brought them alone to Sunset Forest, making him suspicious of the circumstances.

With the confirmation that Dugu Yan and Ye Chen were to be united, he felt that it was unjust, as he had known Dugu Yan first.

"Those were just your misguided notions. I never agreed to be with you!"

Dugu Yan's expression was frosty as she discreetly glanced at Ye Chen, worried that he might become displeased by Yu Tianheng's stubbornness.

"You—"

Yu Tianheng was about to retort, but the old man in black next to him grabbed his arm and directed his attention to Dugu Bo.

"Old Poison, how old is Xiaoyan? You're letting her get married already? I didn't want to meddle in children's affairs, but I do like this girl Xiaoyan, especially since she has been spending time with my stubborn grandson lately. In fact, I hope Xiaoyan can become a part of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."

With that, the long-haired old man smiled warmly at Dugu Yan. "Dear girl, I'm here to tell you that my Tianheng has exceptional talent. If you marry him, you'll become the future matriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."

The appeal of his words was undeniably captivating. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was among the top three sects in the Tiandou Empire, and if this old man claimed Dugu Yan could become their future matriarch, it meant Yu Tianheng was the designated heir, a position of immense power and respect.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's face twisted in anger, but when she exclaimed "impossible," she was mindful of the man's status, leaving her hesitant to retaliate.

In that moment, Ye Chen stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Dugu Yan, saying, "You know, the most challenging part of any person can be their ego. But I wonder why you lack the humility to show restraint?"

With a challenging grin on his face, Ye Chen stood his ground against the old man in black.

"You must be Ye Chen!"

The old man furrowed his brow slightly. He had heard of the major happenings in Tiandou Imperial City and knew that the four super Douluos were somehow associated with a kid named Ye Chen – now he understood why he was here.

"You're Yu Yuanzhen, head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, right?"

Seeing Ye Chen confront him so boldly without any sign of intimidation, Yu Yuanzhen chuckled heartily. "Young heroes indeed! At such a tender age, you have the guts to speak to me like that. Are you not afraid of the consequences?"

Ye Chen simply smirked and replied, "Kill me? If you don't mind the potential downfall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, then go ahead."

"How dare you threaten me!"

Yu Yuanzhen's anger flared as dozens of thick lightning snakes exploded from his body, the overwhelming force causing the nearby blue and red crystals to shatter and scatter debris everywhere.

"Dare me? What do you think you're capable of?"

Ye Chen countered calmly, maintaining a faint smile that displayed no fear at all.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes burned with rage, but there was a hint of caution behind them.

Everyone was aware of the close relations between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's four super Douluos with Ye Chen. He couldn't afford to offend two major powers merely over a bride; that would be a foolish gamble.

Additionally, he was aware that this kid was the Pope's personal disciple, and Bibidong had even clashed with the Elder Hall on his behalf.

"Kill him, and Yan'er will belong to me!"

Yu Tianheng shouted fiercely, his eyes gleaming with derision. "Ye Chen, your glory may be bright now, but don't get too arrogant. When you're gone, I'll take good care of Yan'er."

At this, Ye Chen raised his arm and slapped Yu Tianheng hard, leaving a glaring red mark across his cheek that swelled painfully.

"Kill me? You're not worthy!" With a fierce glint in his eye, Ye Chen faced the enraged Yu Yuanzhen and boldly proclaimed, "I'm right here; if you have the guts, go ahead and try."

Dugu Bo broke out in a cold sweat; no one expected Ye Chen to exhibit such boldness in front of a super Douluo. They were all left wondering who had given him the courage – perhaps someone like Liang Jingru?

"You're asking for trouble; Grandpa, take him out!"

Yu Tianheng covered his swollen face, trembling as he shouted.

"Enough!"

Before he could finish, Yu Yuanzhen delivered a sharp slap to Yu Tianheng, sending him tumbling through the air.

With a dark look on his face, Yu Yuanzhen spoke with a solemn tone: "Good, good. A disciple of the Pope. But I wonder how long Bibidong can protect you. Mark my words, one day I will come for you." After saying this, he turned and soared away with Yu Tianheng.

"Don't go!"

Ye Chen waved his arm, anger flashing in his eyes, as he felt insulted by the attempt to rob him of his partner. For any man, this was a heavy disgrace, and he promised himself that he would reclaim his honor one day.

"Are you alright?"

Dugu Bo asked with concern, and Ye Chen shook his head. "I'm fine, but I'm really frustrated. I need to soak in the Ice and Fire Spring to wash away this bad luck." Saying this, he jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, where his Fallen Angel martial soul emerged, and his divine self-healing ability automatically repaired his body, countering the constant erosion from the spring water.

"This kid has an extraordinary spirit; he's no ordinary dragon."

With this thought, Dugu Bo moved beside Dugu Yan and spoke softly, "My dear granddaughter, you should join him too. Grandpa will stay outside the valley to keep you safe and try to 'subdue' him."

Clenching his fist, Dugu Bo summoned most of his soul power to guard Dugu Yan. "The alternating hot and cold spring water is too intense, and I can't shield you for long; time is of the essence. Do your best!" With that, he darted toward the valley's exit, leaving behind a lovely girl with a flushed face, standing with her small hands tightly clenched.
