Chapter 134 Mermaids
Gu Yan: "..."
The white-haired, purple-eyed man spoke in an ambiguous tone:
"Zirong, you haven't experienced dual cultivation yet, have you? Would you like me to teach you?"
Dugu Yun reached out to touch Gu Yan's face, but before his hand could touch her, a book was thrown at him and hit him on the head.
Dugu Yun: "..."
Gu Yan looked towards the door and saw Dugu Xun standing there.
Dugu Yun gritted his teeth and turned to his grandson: "You little brat, how dare you hit me!!"
"You shameless old geezer! You're so old and you still dare to seduce Zi Rong. I'm ashamed for you!" Dugu Xun mocked.
Enraged, Dugu Yun flashed forward and struck Dugu Xun in the chest with a palm strike. Dugu Xun was sent flying, crashing through two walls before regaining his footing. Just as Dugu Xun regained his balance, Dugu Yun kicked him from behind, and Dugu Xun quickly dodged.
The grandfather and grandson started fighting again.
As the fighting went on, it spilled onto the outer deck and then onto the sea surface.
Gu Yan was engrossed in reading in the library, completely ignoring the grandfather and grandson.
Dugu Xun definitely couldn't beat his grandfather, but at most he'd just get a beating. Although Dugu Yun called him a "bastard" and a "wicked child" all the time, he actually cherished Dugu Xun very much; otherwise, how could Dugu Xun have dared to kick his coffin?
The difference between the early stage of Spirit Venerable and the late stage of Spirit Saint is so great, yet Dugu Xun can still always hit people. He can even throw a book at Dugu Yun and it will land on his head. Isn't that enough to prove something?
The grandfather and grandson returned after fighting for several hours because the weather outside had suddenly changed drastically and a thunderstorm had broken out.
Dugu Xun was beaten rather badly this time, while Dugu Yun had transformed into a child. The two, grandfather and grandson, looked like sulking children, glaring at each other before sitting in separate corners of the hall, ignoring each other.
"Brother, are you alright?" Gu Yan came out from inside and saw Dugu Xun walking towards him looking miserable.
Upon seeing Gu Yan, Dugu Xun's mood brightened, and he smiled, saying, "I'm fine."
"You're suffering from internal injuries," Gu Yan said, handing a bottle of medicine for treating internal injuries to Dugu Xun. "Here, take this."
After taking one, Dugu Xun smiled and said, "Did you make this pill? It's very effective."
"Then you can keep this bottle of pills," Gu Yan said. Judging from the frequency of his fights with Dugu Yun, he estimated that he would need them in a few days.
Seeing that Dugu Xun's arm was injured, Gu Yan immediately used magic to heal him. Dugu Xun felt a warm glow in his heart and was very happy to see Gu Yan treat him this way. Meanwhile, Dugu Yun, on the other hand, was jealous, his youthful face showing envy and resentment.
Damn it! Damn it!!
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!" The white-haired little boy suddenly cried out. He looked at Gu Yan with tearful eyes, "Zirong, I think I'm also internally injured. Can you...can you come and take a look at me?"
Gu Yan: "..."
Dugu Xun: "..."
How shameless!
"Senior Yun, you must be joking. You're a late-stage Spirit Saint, while my brother is only at the early stage of Spirit Venerable. How could he possibly hurt you?" Gu Yan said.
"This, this little brat... he attacked me! He attacked me when I wasn't paying attention! Ouch, ouch, my chest hurts so much! Is my sternum broken? Maybe my internal organs are injured too! Zirong, come quickly and take a look at me!" The white-haired, purple-eyed boy clutched his chest, looking pitiful.
Gu Yan: "..."
"Old ghost, do you have any shame?" Dugu Xun said in a cold tone.
But Dugu Yun was shameless. He threw a tantrum on the soft couch, crying and screaming like a child: "You're biased! You're biased! Zirong, you're biased! Zirong, you're biased towards him! Waaaaah..."
Gu Yan: "..."
He realized now why Dugu Yun's father was unwilling to pass the throne of the Tianyin Empire to Dugu Yun; he himself would not have done so either.
Dugu Xun, watching from the side, felt utterly humiliated. Did they think he was three years old? Couldn't they have some shame?! He rubbed his temples with one hand and said to Gu Yan:
"Ignore him, let's go somewhere else."
Dugu Xun stood up and walked inside, with Gu Yan following behind him. The two talked as they walked. As soon as they left, the white-haired, purple-eyed boy stopped crying. He sat cross-legged on the soft couch, glaring angrily in the direction Dugu Xun and Gu Yan had left, grinding his teeth.
Damn it! Damn it!
He touched his chubby little face with his chubby hand. He was so cute, how could Zi Rong bear to ignore him?

Several days later.
The Flying Star Ship continued its voyage, with wisps of mist rising above the sea. Gu Yan and Dugu Xun stood at the bow, while Dugu Yun sat on the railing.
Looking at the map floating in front of her, Gu Yan asked, "This is the Sea of Fog. Senior Yun, are there any dangers in this Sea of Fog?"
"Once we cross this foggy sea, we'll reach the territory of the merfolk. I have a grudge against the merfolk queen, and if we're discovered, there'll likely be a fierce battle," Dugu Yun said, resting his chubby little hand on one cheek. Years ago, when he led his people across this sea, he clashed with the merfolk and a war broke out.
Even though millions of years have passed, it's hard to guarantee that the other party still remembers the hatred from back then, and they might start fighting as soon as they see him.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Dugu Xun asked.
"Can we go around it?" Gu Yan asked.
"If we take a detour, I can't guarantee the route," Dugu Yun said. He was currently following the route from back then, and he couldn't guarantee whether he would encounter unknown dangers or how much extra time he would need to take if he took a detour.
"What is the strength of that Mermaid Queen?" Dugu Xun asked.
"Early stage of spiritual sainthood".
"That was millions of years ago, right? She might not even be in the early stage of Spirit Saint now," Dugu Xun said.
Dugu Yun remained silent; of course he knew this. He had become stronger, and it was impossible for the other party not to have improved over the past few million years.
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's conceal our movements. It's best to pass by quietly without letting them notice us."
After hearing this, Dugu Yun said nothing more, but simply began to control the Flying Star Ship. The ship's light dimmed, and then the power of the barrier completely concealed it. After hiding its tracks, the Flying Star Ship sailed through the mist for two days.
A faint singing voice drifted from the mist. Gu Yan released her divine sense and saw a reef ahead, upon which sat several beautiful mermaids. These mermaids had long black or brown hair, their upper bodies were that of beautiful women, and their lower bodies had long fish tails.
Their silvery-white, pale blue, or light blue scales shimmered, and their arms were draped in sheer, gauze-like silk. These mermaid women were singing, and their voices were incredibly beautiful.
Gu Yan looked into the water and saw many merfolk, both men and women, playing and frolicking among the coral reefs, rocks, mountains, and forests.
These merfolk were not very strong, so they did not notice the flying star ship. Even though the flying star ship passed by them, they did not notice anything unusual.
However, the deeper they ventured into the merfolk's territory, the stronger the merfolk became. The Flying Star Ship shrank in size and activated all its concealment formations, yet it was still discovered. One by one, the merfolk surrounded it, filling the entire sea and completely encircling the Flying Star Ship.
