**Chapter 357: Too Much Bullying**

"Silly girl, I'm here. Do you think I'll let you turn into a pile of dirt in a few hundred years?"

Zhao Ling took out an Eight Immortals Pill from his storage space and placed it in Dugu Yan's palm.

Dugu Yan recognized the familiar pill, put it to her nose, sniffed it, and then asked tentatively, "Brother Ling, didn't you give me one of these pills before? Why are you giving me another one?"

Zhao Ling replied with a smile, "This thing is called the Eight Immortals Pill. The one I gave you before was a weakened version, but this time I'm giving you the authentic one.

At that time, there was no real Eight Immortals Pill, so I could only give you a weaker version. But now, I've refined the real Eight Immortals Pill again, so of course, I have to give you one.

This real Eight Immortals Pill can elevate you by several small realms and improve your cultivation aptitude. It will be much stronger than the weakened version."

"So should I eat it now or...?"

Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised by the effects of the Eight Immortals Pill. The weakened version could improve two small realms below level 40. This real Eight Immortals Pill should be even stronger, right? Now she really wanted to know what kind of effect this real Eight Immortals Pill would have.

"Silly girl, didn't I give you this Eight Immortals Pill so you can take it to enhance your strength and qualifications? If you don't take it now, are you going to leave it there as a sacrifice to the gods?"

Zhao Ling was speechless. Was this girl really stupid or just pretending? Why ask such a question?

"Okay..." Dugu Yan hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed, took the Eight Immortals Pill, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Soon, Dugu Yan felt a warm current rising from her lower abdomen, flowing through her meridians throughout her body.

Zhao Ling watched quietly from the side. Dugu Yan's soul power had now reached level 43, and it was obvious that her soul power was increasing at a faster rate than in the original book.

This was because the weakened version of the Eight Immortals Pill had improved her qualifications. Maybe the improvement wasn't much, but it was still crucial.

It was worth noting that the current Blue King Academy was not like Blue Lightning or Shrek Academy in the original novels, where students could apply for graduation as soon as they reached level 40.

When Zhao Ling founded Lan Ba Academy, he set the requirement that students must be at least level 50 to apply for graduation.

A level 40 Soul Sect member wasn't that impressive, whether in the two empires or in Wuhun City. Only when one reached the level of Soul King or above could they barely protect themselves.

For Lan Ba Academy, where all the students were good-looking girls, Zhao Ling felt that if these girls graduated as Soul Sects and went out to take risks, their chances of survival would be too low.

Raising the graduation threshold by ten levels would help reduce the mortality rate for female students.

As for those who would never reach the strength of a level 50 Soul King in their entire lives, Lan Ba Academy wouldn't accept them at all because the female students they recruited were not just pretty faces.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Dugu Yan finally absorbed all the medicinal power of the Eight Immortals Pill.

Dugu Yan's soul power increased from level 43 to level 46, and her qualifications improved again.

This made Dugu Yan very happy. At the age of 18 or 19, having a soul power of level 46 was already quite impressive for her.

She might not be able to compare to Zhao Ling's other beauties, but she was content.

She had improved her cultivation aptitude twice in a row. Though the improvements weren't huge, they would definitely help her reach higher levels in the future.

She hurriedly got off the bed, threw herself into Zhao Ling's arms, and said gratefully, "Brother Ling, thank you for giving me such precious elixirs. Yan'er doesn't know how to thank you."

"Hehe... didn't you say you wanted to pledge your love to me? Since you're willing to pledge your love to Brother Ling, I can't be stingy with my future wife, right?"

Zhao Ling smiled wickedly at Dugu Yan, and that look in his eyes made her face flush.

"Brother Ling, you're so shameless. When did I ever say I would marry you?"

After saying that, Dugu Yan pulled Zhao Ling to sit on her bed and leaned lazily into his arms.

Faced with the girl eagerly throwing herself at him, Zhao Ling hugged her around the waist without hesitation.

After all, that old man Dugu Bo had turned a blind eye to this matter, so why should Zhao Ling refuse?

Besides, Dugu Yan was deeply in love with him, unlike in the original book where she had an ambiguous relationship with Yu Tianheng.

Of course, the most important thing was that Zhao Ling and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't get along. Snatching away the sweetheart of that old man Yu Yuanzhen felt so good.

Just as the two were being affectionate, the door to the room suddenly opened. A head poked in and asked Zhao Ling, "Demon Suppression Douluo, I almost forgot to ask you…"

When the owner of the head saw his granddaughter snuggling in Zhao Ling's arms, his face suddenly darkened.

Even though he had known that his granddaughter would be taken away by the Demon Suppression Douluo sooner or later, he felt that his granddaughter, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, was still so young.

He had hoped the Demon Suppression Douluo wouldn't be so cruel as to want to "eat" his granddaughter so soon.

But now, it seemed that the Demon Suppression Douluo really had no bottom line. He wasn't even polite and was openly hugging his granddaughter.

Seeing his granddaughter held tightly in Zhao Ling's arms and unwilling to let go, Dugu Bo felt as if a piece of flesh was being torn out of his heart.

Seeing her face darken, Zhao Ling hugged Dugu Yan even tighter and even leaned over to kiss her on the lips provocatively.

Oh, no... Dugu Bo felt a surge of frustration.

If he could defeat this overbearing Demon Suppression Douluo, he would have released his martial spirit and fought him for 300 rounds.

When Dugu Yan was kissed by Zhao Ling, her whole body stiffened.

The main reason was that her grandfather had given her a strange look, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Grandpa, I've told you so many times that you have to knock on the door when entering someone's room. Why did you forget again?"

Dugu Bo, who was reprimanded by his granddaughter, quickly smiled awkwardly.

"Yanyan, Grandpa didn't mean to barge in. I just wanted to ask what kind of dishes Demon Suppression Douluo would like to eat, and if there's anything in particular he wants?"

Zhao Ling smiled and replied, "I don't have any particular dishes in mind, just prepare whatever you like. I'm not picky...

Oh, wait, actually, there is something special I want to eat right now. I want to eat my goose."

I... I've really gone too far this time.

When Dugu Bo heard this, he almost picked up a broom nearby and chased them out.

You... you're holding my precious granddaughter in your arms and saying in front of me that you want to eat her? You... I...
