Chapter XIX

Feeling the goodwill released by Liu Xu, Dugu Hong felt much better. All thirty-six thousand pores in his body responded positively. He had regained his confidence. He then looked at Liu Xu dumbly, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me? Are there any flowers on my face!? " Liu Xu was very uncomfortable under Dugu Hong's gaze, and retorted.

"Eh …" Hearing what Liu Xu said, Dugu Hong laughed awkwardly.

"Stupid!" Seeing Dugu Hong giggling, Liu Xu immediately rolled her eyes at him flirtatiously.

"Cough, cough …" At this moment, an untimely cough came from the thatched cottage, causing both of them to instantly blush. After all, it was a rather shy thing to do, so it was very awkward to let them see through it.

Liu Xu immediately rushed into the room without even bothering to talk with Dugu Hong. Dugu Hong also quickly followed. He only acted subconsciously, without even knowing why. When he appeared in the thatched cottage, both the middle-aged man and Liu Xu looked at him strangely.

Of course, Liu Xu only glanced at him once, while the middle-aged man looked at him with interest. It was as if he was looking at a beautiful work of art. This made Dugu Hong somewhat unable to endure such a gaze. However, since he had come, he could only stand awkwardly by the door, unsure of what to do next.

"You're that kid?" The middle-aged man looked at Dugu Hong and asked with a smile. At this moment, his body seemed to have no problems at all. It gave off a feeling as warm as jade.

"Yes." Dugu Hong quickly replied.

"Do you like my daughter?" The middle-aged man's next words immediately caused the two of them to collapse. Is this how you act as a father? They had just met, yet they didn't know what was going on …

"Father …" Liu Xu was shocked by the middle-aged man's words. Ye Zichen immediately protested coquettishly. However, her eyes were staring straight at Dugu Hong. It was obvious that he was a little nervous, afraid that the stupidest fellow would say something that would make his father unhappy.

"I like it!" If Dugu Hong didn't know what to say at this time, then his two lives would have been lived in vain. He looked at Liu Xu and said very sincerely.

"Yes." Can you give my daughter happiness? " Hearing Dugu Hong's reply, the middle-aged man was very satisfied. He didn't even look at the shy Liu Xu who was winking at him and directly asking.

"She told me to go east. I would never go west. If you want me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken. As long as I am alive, I will not let her suffer any grievances. " Dugu Hong looked at Liu Xu and said loudly. Even he himself did not know where he got so much courage at this time.

Liu Xu's face was flushed red from what he said, she glared at Dugu Hong and lowered her head. If someone were to look at her from the front, they would definitely be able to see that her eyebrows were filled with happiness, and the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be concealed at all.

On the other hand, Dugu Hong was immediately stumped, being glared at by Liu Xu, he immediately forgot about the rest of his words. He stood there blankly for a long time, not knowing what to say. His brain was in a state of confusion now. Did I say something wrong? Why is Liu Xu staring at me!?

Their little tricks couldn't hide anything from the middle-aged man opposite them. He had seen everything with his own eyes. At the same time, he saw sincerity in Dugu Hong's eyes. However, this didn't seem to be enough. Thus, he continued speaking.

"But, to protect your own woman, you have to have extraordinary strength. With your current cultivation level, it's simply not enough for you to get a foothold in the Town below, let alone the fact that my daughter will definitely become an extraordinary existence in the future. Have you thought about this? " The middle aged man said while smiling at Dugu Hong.

"I'm not going anywhere. "I'm right on top of this mountain …" Hearing this, Liu Xu panicked. He directly called out to stop them. However, she was still interrupted by the middle-aged man.

"How can my son-in-law be incompetent? "Boy, hurry up!" The middle-aged man asked loudly. At the moment, his body was releasing the Qi of a strong Ranker, causing Dugu Hong who was standing to be unable to stand still. He had to use all the strength in his body to resist before he could finally stop. However, at this moment, his heart was incomparably shocked. This fellow's cultivation base was on par with that old man!

At the same time, some doubt arose deep within his heart. During his time with Liu Xu, he already knew that Liu Xu had a sick dad by her side. However, the aura that the old man emitted just now seemed to be very strong. Was he still sick? This is definitely my fault! Thinking of this, his gaze swept across the middle-aged man and Liu Xu.

He had graduated from a second-rate major in his previous life and had a good understanding of genetics. With a single look, he was able to see through some things. Liu Xu didn't seem like this middle-aged man at all. Not even in a similar way.

However, he didn't say it out loud. Although he was dead set on Liu Xu now, his IQ wasn't very high. But he had brains for other things.

"Say something!" Seeing Dugu Hong constantly looking at Liu Xu and himself, and even the doubt in his eyes, he was unable to escape from the middle-aged man's eyes. The middle-aged man's heart tightened. Did this kid see something? No, that's not right. I heard from Xuanyuan Haotian that this kid is a child who grew up within a pack of wolves. He doesn't have any social experience at all! He must have been thinking too much. Thus, he urged.

"Eh. "I will do my best to cultivate, I will not let Liu Xu suffer even the slightest bit." Dugu Hong hurriedly promised.

"That's not what I said. After two months, it would be the time for Bullfight Palace to recruit students in Merlot Town. The cultivation level they were asking for was at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm. You still lack two big levels. After all, that is the lowest requirement! " The middle-aged man said in a mocking tone.

"…" Dugu Hong was stunned, that's right, he was just a piece of trash now. How could he protect his beloved woman when he couldn't even meet the minimum requirements?! Thinking of this, he became hesitant. When Liu Xu saw this situation, she was also very worried. He wanted to go up and comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

However, if she did not go up to comfort him, her heart would be as painful as a knife cutting through it. Being attacked like this by her father, Dugu Hong felt really bad in her heart!

"Please rest assured! I will definitely reach the peak of the Body Refinement Realm within two months. " Dugu Hong was originally a person who would not accept defeat. Now that he was provoked by the middle-aged man, it was natural for him to be angry. Wasn't it just advancing to the Great Perfection Stage?! Just you wait! With that, he turned and left.

"Daddy!" Aren't you being too vicious! " Seeing Dugu Hong had left, Liu Xu said to the middle aged man unhappily.

"It's not that I'm ruthless!" My time is almost up. If I can't arrange this well for you, I won't be able to leave at ease! " The middle-aged man coughed twice and said.

"That won't happen!" "No way!" Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Liu Xu forgot about finding fault with Dugu Hong. Zhang Xuan hurriedly consoled.

"Relax! "That kid isn't that weak." Seeing Liu Xu so worried for Dugu Hong, the middle-aged man kindly comforted her.
