Chapter 205 Funeral

"Father, Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Yi, should have passed away! At the same time, Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law should also be gone!" Xue Qinghe said without any joy or sorrow.

Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi had already made some guesses about what Xue Qinghe said. At the same time, they also knew that Dugu Bo would never submit to the Spirit Hall in the future. After all, the death of Dugu Bo's son was inseparable from the Spirit Hall. If Dugu Bo were to join the Spirit Hall, would he be able to face his son?

“Father, after I returned, I sent people to investigate the Dugu family carefully. Dugu Bo’s son, Dugu Yi, was poisoned by a very rare poison when he was absorbing his third soul ring. Dugu Bo can only suppress it, but cannot cure it.”

Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law, having lived with Dugu Yi for a long time, also contracted the virus. Recently, Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law's illness became critical, and no medicine could cure them. Dugu Bo may have heard that the Spirit Hall had a way to cure the poison in his son and daughter-in-law, which is why he took them to the Spirit Hall.

No one present doubted Xue Qinghe's words, as they had all investigated and arrived at similar conclusions. After Xue Qinghe finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Judging from that earlier sound, the death of Dugu Bo's son is likely closely related to the Spirit Hall! The Spirit Hall has now made an enemy of Poison Douluo; he will definitely hate them to death from now on!"

"I suspect that Poison Douluo won't do anything. After all, the power of the Spirit Hall is far beyond what a rogue cultivator like Poison Douluo can match! Moreover, he has a granddaughter still alive. If Poison Douluo dares to do anything, his granddaughter will definitely not have a good ending!"

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe both agreed with Emperor Xue Ye's words. Although everyone present knew that disaster could not extend to one's descendants, these people in power knew even more about the dangers of letting a tiger return to the mountains! Therefore, when dealing with one person, they would usually send the whole family away as well!

"Qinghe, if the Poison Douluo's mansion begins to hold a funeral, then you and your royal uncle, Prince Xuexing, will go to the Poison Douluo's mansion to offer your condolences!"

"Your subject obeys!" Xue Qinghe replied in unison.

...

Not long after Poison Douluo finished roaring, he walked out alone, looking lost and confused, and went home in a daze. When he got home, the steward of Dugu Bo’s mansion saw Poison Douluo’s distraught appearance and, recalling the young master’s state before he left, realized that Dugu Bo’s son and daughter-in-law were very likely dead!

The pain of losing a child is difficult to truly understand unless one has experienced it themselves. After returning to his residence, Dugu Bo locked himself up and refused to eat or drink. The steward saw this and was very worried. He could clearly see Dugu Bo's exhaustion and grief when he returned, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Dugu Bo had been home for half a day. The butler saw that Dugu Bo was still not out of his grief, so he comforted him, saying, "Master, I know you are very sad. The deaths of the young master and young mistress have also been a great blow to you. But no matter how sad you are, you must take care of yourself!"

"Young Master and Young Mistress have passed away, and their funeral needs your supervision. Furthermore, Young Miss is still young, and now that her parents have passed away, she is deeply saddened. This is a time when she needs your comfort, Master. Young Miss has a long road ahead of her; if your health fails, who will protect her?"

When the butler mentioned Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo finally reacted. Gradually, Dugu Bo composed himself and said to the butler, "Laifu, go and hold the funeral for the young master and young mistress! I'm going to fetch Yan Yan!"

"Master, the bodies of the young master and young mistress?"

Dugu Bo, forcing back his grief, said, "The two of them have turned into blood because of the deadly poison in their bodies!"
