Chapter 119 Bathing and Changing Clothes
At this moment, a huge ship appeared in the sky. The ship was incredibly magnificent, surrounded by a five-colored light array, and bore the emblem of Youyun Dugu. The ship quickly arrived in front of them, and Dugu Xun said to Gu Yan, "This place is not safe to stay for long. Let's leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the boat. Gu Yan said behind him, "I still need to find the Ten Thousand Year Tear Bodhi."
"The Dugu family has it."
Without turning his head, Dugu Xun took a few steps and disappeared from the spot, arriving on the giant ship. Gu Yan's body emitted a burst of light, and she flew to the top deck of the giant ship.
Several powerful figures at the late stage of the Spirit Emperor realm stood on the deck, all of whom Gu Yan had never seen before. Upon seeing Gu Yan, they were all greatly shocked by his appearance.
Dugu Zirong? They all knew in their hearts that there was no such person in the Dugu family, but since the patriarch said so, how could he not be a member of the Dugu family?
Gu Yan followed Dugu Xun into the ship's main hall, where dozens of beautiful and charming maids stood. They immediately bowed to Dugu Xun, but couldn't help but steal glances at Gu Yan.
Dugu Xun pointed at Gu Yan and said to one of the maids, "Take him to bathe and change his clothes."
Bathing and changing clothes?
Gu Yan knew that Dugu Xun was a germaphobe, but to ask him to bathe and change clothes was just too much. A spell could solve the problem, so why did he need to bathe and change clothes? But the maids were thrilled when they heard that they could serve Gu Yan bathing and changing clothes.
"Yes, Master!"
"Young master, please follow me!"
"Young master, this way!"
Blinded by lust, the beautiful maids grew bolder and took Gu Yan's hand, dragging him inside. Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then followed the maids without resistance.

There is a sacred spring on the boat, with clear water and misty air.
"Young master, let me help you change your clothes."
A beautiful, shy maidservant offered to help Gu Yan undress, but Gu Yan quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "No need, I can do it myself. You may all leave."
The maid whose wrist Gu Yan had grabbed felt her cheeks flush and her heart pound like a deer's. The other maids were jealous, one of them saying coquettishly, "The master told us to serve the young master. If we don't serve him well, the master will definitely blame us."
"Yes, if we don't serve you well, the head of the family will definitely punish us."
"Young master, please allow us to serve you."
"Young master~"
These delicate maids started acting all coquettish, which gave Gu Yan a headache. He wondered if Dugu Xun was deliberately messing with him. Finally, he hardened his face and said, "Get out!"
As soon as the aura of the Void Refinement stage cultivator was released, the maids were so frightened that they all turned pale and knelt down.
"Please forgive me, young master!"
"Please forgive me, young master!"
"This servant was wrong, please forgive me, young master!"
Gu Yan: "..."
Is it that easy to be scared?
"Alright, alright, get up. Go outside and wait. I'll call you when you come back in," Gu Yan said.
The maids looked up at him, and seeing that he wasn't truly angry, they stood up one by one and carefully retreated outside. Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when they left, then took off his clothes and stepped into the spiritual spring.
The feeling of the warm spring water soaking into her body was incredibly pleasant, and the spiritual energy from the spring nourishing her entire being was extremely soothing. Leaning against the warm jade, Gu Yan suddenly thought that taking a bath like this was quite nice. After her bath, she dressed and went outside. The maids bowed and said, "The head of the family is waiting for you in the main hall, young master."

In the luxurious and elegant hall, a white-haired man in a black robe was playing the zither. As Gu Yan stepped into the hall, the music stopped.
Dugu Xun looked up and saw the handsome young man in white, as pure as snow, and finally felt relieved.
Gu Yan smiled and sat down next to Dugu Xun. He looked at Dugu Xun and asked, "When did you reach the Spirit Venerable Realm, brother?"
"Eight years ago," Dugu Xun replied.
After meeting Gu Yan once ten years ago, he returned to Youyun Mountain to cultivate in seclusion. He spent two years adjusting his state and successfully broke through the bottleneck, entering the Spirit Venerable realm. He then spent several more years stabilizing his realm. He always had his subordinates keep an eye on Gu Yan's whereabouts, so every time Gu Yan used the Dugu family's teleportation array, his subordinates would report to him.
He knew that Gu Yan had gone to Yuanzhou and to the Medicine Tower.
Knowing that Gu Yan seemed to be having a great time at the Medicine Tower, he felt a little annoyed. If she was having so much fun, she probably had already forgotten about her older brother. However, his annoyance at Gu Yan going to the Medicine Tower was only minor. But when his subordinates reported that Gu Yan had used a teleportation array to go to Bazhou, he couldn't sit still anymore.
Bazhou?
The territory of the demon race? What is he going there for?
Looking for death?
Although Gu Yan is quite strong, having already reached the Spirit Emperor realm, she wouldn't be considered weak anywhere. However, there are still quite a few powerful demons at the Spirit Venerable level active in the demon realm, and who knows which guy might have his eye on her.
Dugu Xun lied when he said he was just passing by. He was only looking for Gu Yan because he was worried about her being in the demon realm.
Upon arriving, he found Gu Yan in danger, which angered him greatly.
Venturing deep into the demon realm is suicidal, even for a Spirit Emperor. He was furious at Gu Yan's death-defying act. The thought that Gu Yan would have been kidnapped and exploited by that female demon if he hadn't come made him want to kill.
"Congratulations, brother." Gu Yan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
Dugu Xun said, "You're eight years too late."
Gu Yan: "..."
Can you blame him? He was in seclusion eight years ago too.
"If you want the Ten Thousand Years Tear Bodhi, why don't you come to me? Instead, you've come to the demon realm alone to take risks. Are you really tired of living?" Dugu Xun said coldly.
Gu Yan: "..."
After a two-second silence, Gu Yan said, "I didn't know you had already emerged from seclusion, brother."
"Why don't you ask? Just ask anyone in the Dugu family. When you use the teleportation array, don't you ask the guards next to you?" Dugu Xun's tone was sharp.
Gu Yan: "..."
Okay, he admits that what he said above was just an excuse. The reason he didn't think of asking Dugu Xun was simply because he didn't want to.
Although Gu Yan was used to men and women falling in love with him for no apparent reason, he wasn't used to using his good looks to gain resources. He couldn't bring himself to exploit their affections for maximum benefit, regardless of whether they were male or female.
I feel like it's a bit unethical.
The atmosphere in the hall froze for more than ten seconds. Under the pressure of Dugu Xun's sharp gaze, Gu Yan uttered a sentence: "I... didn't think of that for a moment."
Dugu Xun: "..."
Didn't think of that for a moment? Who are you kidding?
He felt that Gu Yan didn't treat him like family. Although Gu Yan called him "brother," he still treated him like an outsider. Thinking this, Dugu Xun felt very unhappy. However, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't bring himself to lash out at that flawless face.
