Chapter 449 The Unrivaled Dragon and Snake Who Conquered Himself
Looking in the direction where Ye Qifeng had left, Meng Yiran looked downcast, unable to look away for a long time, her eyes filled with reluctance.
She was wearing a black outfit, but it looked a bit loose, because the clothes didn't belong to her; they belonged to Ye Qifeng.
Yes, her clothes were completely torn and destroyed over the past three days by the Eight Spider Lances, external soul bones that kept popping out.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, only Meng Yiran herself knows. In any case, she doesn't mind being exposed in front of Ye Qifeng at all.
"Alright, Yiran, stop looking and snap out of it."
At this moment, an old woman stepped forward, raised her slightly withered hand, and gently patted Meng Yiran on the shoulder.
The old woman was dressed in bright and gorgeous clothes, her full head of white hair was neatly combed, and although she had many wrinkles on her face, she was very energetic and her face was as rosy as a baby's.
It was Meng Yiran's grandmother, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang from the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Grandma, do you think we'll ever see each other again?"
Meng Yiran tightened the loose clothes she was wearing, turned around to look at Chaotianxiang, and asked in a soft, sweet voice.
"Yes, that young man is no ordinary person. One day he will be famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent. You two will meet someday. Hmm?"
Chao Tianxiang sighed softly and answered subconsciously. Suddenly, she paused, then abruptly turned to look at Meng Yiran's pretty face:
"You haven't fallen for him, have you?"
She had been observing her granddaughter. Ever since the boy named Ye Qifeng left, her granddaughter's mood had become extremely low, and her gaze remained fixed on the direction the boy had gone, refusing to look away even for a moment.
As someone who had been through it all, Chaotianxiang finally realized what was going on with her granddaughter's current state.
It is obvious—
The young girl's heart began to flutter with first love.
"Oh dear, Grandma, what are you saying?"
Meng Yiran's face instantly turned as red as an apple.
"Haha, Yiran, don't be shy. If you like someone, just go for it."
A clear, hearty laugh suddenly rang out from the side.
The speaker was an elderly man, about the same age as Chaotianxiang, around sixty or seventy years old.
The old man was tall and thin, with white hair and beard. Like Chaotianxiang, his silver hair was neatly combed, clearly indicating that he was a person who paid great attention to his appearance.
He held in his hand a bright silver dragon-headed cane that was over four meters long. The dragon head on the cane was lifelike and extremely dazzling.
It was Meng Yiran's grandfather, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang's husband, and the Soul Douluo with a cultivation level of over 80 in the Peerless Dragon and Snake Sect—Dragon Duke Meng Shu.
Long Gong looked very old, but like Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, although his face was full of wrinkles, it was extremely ruddy and vigorous, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Looking at his granddaughter, Long Gong Meng Shu's eyes were full of doting affection. He laughed heartily and continued:
"Your grandma is right. That young man was definitely no ordinary person. Even I couldn't tell how much cultivation he had."
"However, I'm sure he's not just a Soul Venerable as your grandmother said. I guess he has at least the cultivation of a Soul Sect Master or higher, and might even be a Soul King."
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I actually felt a slight threat from him. It's really strange."
As soon as Meng Shu finished speaking, Chao Tianxiang, who was standing next to him, exclaimed in surprise:
"Old man, is that really true?"
Meng Yiran was also a little stunned, her little face flushed.
However, having witnessed Ye Qifeng effortlessly slay the Human-Faced Demon Spider and his powerful demeanor as he hunted for her fourth spirit ring, she could understand it.
After all, Ye Qifeng had given her far too many surprises.
Therefore, Meng Yiran was not particularly surprised. Even though her grandfather said that Ye Qifeng was a Soul Emperor, she believed it.
"Xiang'er, would I lie to you? That kid is very likely a Soul King."
Hearing his wife's question, Meng Shu's tone became even more resolute.
"Hiss—, a Soul King in his teens? That's monstrous! If that's the case, then isn't that boy named Ye Qifeng incredibly talented, a peerless genius rarely seen in the world?"
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang gasped in shock. Seeing the Dragon Lord's confident expression, she had to believe him to some extent.
Long Gong Meng Shu coughed twice, not wanting to continue on this topic. In fact, he wasn't quite sure whether Ye Qifeng had the cultivation of a Soul King, but he just didn't want to lose face in front of his wife.
So he spoke with a little bit of certainty.
Meng Shu turned to look at his granddaughter, Meng Yiran:
"Yiran, Grandpa just observed him carefully. He's a very nice guy. He's very polite and courteous. When he's with your grandma and me, he's neither arrogant nor humble. He's calm and composed. He's a rare talent."
"He is exceptional in ability, talent, and character, and is also extremely handsome. Such a prodigy is definitely the best choice for a husband."
"Yiran, listen to your grandfather. We must not miss out on a talent like him."
Meng Yiran's face turned even redder, and she nodded in a barely audible voice:
"Yes, Grandpa, I understand. I will try my best."
Master Long stroked his white beard, feeling a sense of relief.
"Haha. Yiran, if you manage to win him over, it will be of great benefit to both yourself and our Dragon Serpent Manor."
"If you could get him to join our Dragon and Snake Manor, that would be great. Maybe he could lead us to a new level."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran shook her head:
"Grandpa, you might be disappointed. I can pursue him, but getting him to join our Dragon Serpent Manor is out of the question."
Why?
"Because he's from the Spirit Hall."
"What? He's from the Spirit Hall?"
Lord Long was startled and almost choked on his breath. After a long while, he sighed slowly:
"Alas, what a pity, we can't afford to offend the Spirit Hall."
"Trying to recruit a talent from the Spirit Hall is as difficult as climbing to the heavens, almost impossible. It seems this attempt is doomed. What a pity, what a pity."
After repeatedly saying "What a pity," Meng Shu noticed that his granddaughter's face had suddenly turned ashen and pale. Realizing that he might have said something wrong, he quickly said:
"However, don't worry, if you really like him, no matter what kind of power he comes from, your grandparents will support you."
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang also nodded to Meng Yiran:
"Yes, Yiran, don't be discouraged. Just do what you want. Grandpa and Grandma won't stop you."
Meng Yiran immediately raised her head:
"Really?"
The Dragon King and the Snake Queen nodded in unison:
"certainly."
Meng Yiran immediately beamed with joy:
"Then you'd better keep your word and not interfere in what's between him and me."
Lord Long immediately nodded, and said indulgently:
"Alright, alright, your children and grandchildren will have their own lives to live. It's your own business, you decide for yourself."
The old woman smiled kindly, looking at Meng Yiran with the same doting affection:
"Oh right, Yiran, didn't that young man give you something before he left? Take it out and take a look."
"it is good."
Meng Yiran agreed.
She immediately flipped her wrist, and something appeared in her palm.
It was a silver-white ring.
…………
After handing Meng Yiran over to Long Gong Meng Shu and She Po Chao Tianxiang, Ye Qifeng did not linger. He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with the couple before leaving.
It's not the right time to recruit the legendary dragon and snake couple.
The peerless dragon and snake are not so easily fooled. After all, they are the leaders of a local soul master force. They are knowledgeable and shrewd, especially the dragon prince Meng Shu, whose insight is even more ruthless.
If you make offers to recruit them after only meeting them, they will inevitably suspect that you have ulterior motives.
Moreover, it would be difficult to explain to Meng Yiran. If she misunderstood that he was trying to harm the Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman, then it would be a loss.
Let the arrow fly a little longer.
Once the Dragon and Snake couple realize the immense benefits they've brought to their granddaughter, they will naturally feel grateful to him and develop a favorable impression of the Spirit Hall.
If we try to recruit them then, they probably won't react as strongly or resist as much.
This matter can be taken slowly; there's still time, no rush.
Let's go back and take Zhu Qing with us first. Leaving her at Shrek Academy for too long is always worrying.
Those Shrek Seven Devils might cause trouble, especially that lecherous Dai Mubai.
Let's hope they don't do something stupid!
Behind Ye Qifeng, a series of afterimages appeared as he leaped and raced through the dense forest, heading rapidly towards the approximate location of Shrek Academy, according to his memory.
…………
"It seems that young man is quite nice to you, giving you such a precious storage soul guide ring right away."
Long Gong stroked his white beard, a satisfied smile on his face. With his extensive knowledge, he immediately recognized that the silver ring in Meng Yiran's hand was a valuable storage soul tool.
The snake woman nodded with a smile.
There's more inside.
Meng Yiran wasn't particularly surprised. With a smile, she took out a handful of small golden lumps, about the size of soybeans, from her storage ring.
"What is this? Gold?"
The snake woman asked, her tone tinged with doubt.
"This is called a dragon whisker needle. It's a type of concealed weapon, a self-defense tool he gave me. Grandpa, Grandma, look!"
Meng Yiran pinched a small golden nugget, infused it with soul power, and the golden nugget immediately stretched into a thin needle in her hand. Then, with a flick of her jade finger, a faint golden light flashed and silently disappeared into a large tree three meters away.
A bizarre scene appeared.
As the fine needle pierced through, the tree trunk twisted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a fist-sized bulge appeared.
"What a terrifying hidden weapon! It's far more powerful than your Soul-Shattering Blade."
The Dragon King and the Snake Queen exclaimed in unison.
Meng Yiran nodded gently:
"The Dragon Whiskers Needle is a vicious hidden weapon, and it is indeed much more powerful than the Soul-Shattering Blade."
"Brother Qifeng said that the Soul-Breaking Blade is too cumbersome and not suitable for me. Instead, lightweight and easy-to-carry needle-type hidden weapons are more suitable. This Dragon Beard Needle is a gift from him for self-defense."
"However, he also said that the Dragon Beard Needle is too cruel and that I should not use it unless absolutely necessary."
Lord Long nodded in agreement:
"He makes a lot of sense."
"This Dragon Whisker Needle, though powerful, is somewhat inhumane and should not be used too often."
"Yiran, keep these dragon whisker needles safe for now. Don't use them if you don't have to. When we return to Barak Royal City, Grandpa will make you a batch of needle-type hidden weapons. Girls are indeed more suited to using lighter hidden weapons."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Meng Yiran smiled and said that Brother Qifeng had also taught her a mental manipulation technique, which was many times more powerful than the hidden weapon techniques she currently possessed.
However, her mental strength is too weak right now, so she hasn't been able to learn it and is too embarrassed to tell her grandparents.
It's not too late to talk about it after we use the Guiyuan Meditation Technique taught by Brother Qifeng to improve our spiritual power and learn the skills of spiritual manipulation.
"Alright, Yiran, put the dragon whisker needle away first. Let's see if there's anything else good in the ring."
The snake woman said with a smile on her face.
She was becoming more and more satisfied with Ye Qifeng; such a generous grandson-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern.
"There seems to be something else."
Meng Yiran immediately put away the small golden lump in her hand, and also used her soul power to retrieve the dragon whisker needle that was stuck in the big tree. Then she focused her spirit and used her soul power to pull out a silver token from her storage ring.
"This is."
Upon seeing the silver token that Meng Yiran took out, the smiles on the faces of the Gaishi Longshe couple instantly froze.
"Yiran, show me the token, quickly."
Meng Yiran had just taken out the token and hadn't even had a chance to examine it closely when Long Gong, who looked horrified, snatched it away.
After examining it carefully, turning it over and over, and confirming that he hadn't misread it, the Dragon Lord said, somewhat stunned:
"I was wondering why that kid's name sounded so familiar. Oh, it's him."
The snake woman walked to her husband's side, took the token from his hand, and examined it carefully. After a moment, she looked up at her granddaughter:
"Yiran, tell me the truth, did that Ye Ye Qi Feng ever tell you his true identity?"
Meng Yiran was a little confused at this moment, not knowing why her grandparents suddenly had such a big reaction.
"Oh, no. I asked him where he was from, and he only said he was from Spirit City and was from the Spirit Hall."
Meng Yiran spoke the truth.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King and the Snake Queen exchanged bewildered glances.
That kid is actually the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?
It's over, it's really over now. The benefits from the Spirit Hall aren't so easy to obtain.
To gain something, you must give something in return.
It seems this granddaughter is not going to stay.
"Old man, what do you think?"
After a long pause, Chao Tianxiang looked at Meng Shu and asked with a serious expression.
"I don't think this might be a bad thing."
Long Gong Meng Shu's expression was equally serious, but he did not think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, he thought it was an opportunity, an opportunity for their Dragon Snake Mansion to take another step forward and for his granddaughter to have a powerful backer.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang looked slightly puzzled.
"Xiang'er, listen to me."
Dragon Palace put his arm around Snake Woman's waist, turned their backs to each other, and began to whisper.
Meng Yiran, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned.
Unbeknownst to her, her grandparents were plotting and scheming to help her win over Ye Qifeng as her husband, and had even prepared her dowry.
