When Li Luochen heard Dugu Bo's sinister voice, the hairs on his body stood up. He stood up instantly and instinctively assumed a fighting stance.
In just a few seconds, Li Luochen suppressed his fear and bowed to Dugu Bo, placing his right hand on his left chest, the standard soul master's etiquette.
"I have met His Majesty the Bilin, the Poison King of the World."
Dugu Bo watched Li Luochen salute. Although he didn't care about matters of etiquette, he still felt very happy to see a talented soul master salute him. The murderous aura in his heart immediately subsided a lot.
"Well, get up. Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in your street competition with Yanyan, but you actually humiliated my granddaughter like this. If I, as a grandfather, can still endure it, it would be a bit ridiculous."
Dugu Bo strolled around and spoke slowly. Dugu Yan, who was standing behind Dugu Bo, had her hands on her waist and her chin tilted upwards, looking as proud as a victorious rooster.
"Yes, as Your Majesty, it is your duty to stand up for your granddaughter. I wonder why Your Majesty spared my life."
Li Luochen directly pointed out the topic. He guessed that it was his words to Dugu Yan that made Dugu Bo guess something, and Dugu Bo wanted to detoxify.
"Then I will not waste my words. What did you mean by what you said to Yanyan just now about the effect of snake venom on her body? If you don't explain it clearly, I will let you experience the pain of having your heart eaten away by thousands of poisons."
As Dugu Bo spoke, a green light condensed in his hand. The Green Phosphorus Snake King Poison was the king of snakes, and its venom was extremely powerful.
"Then I will tell you straight away. You and your beloved grandson have been poisoned, and it is the primordial snake venom of your own martial spirit."
Li Luochen had already guessed it, so he didn't plan to throw the yo-yo in a roundabout way, but instead fired a straight ball.
Hum——boom, a powerful soul power shocked Li Luochen, and Li Luochen was directly shocked back a few steps, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. However, Li Luochen clearly felt that the seemingly powerful force was actually just a show.
"Boy, you are looking for death by joking with me like this!"
Dugu Bo looked angry, but he was actually pretending, while Dugu Yan was unhappy.
"Do you know what you are talking about? My grandfather is Poison Douluo, the master of poison, who has killed countless enemies with poison. How dare you say that my grandfather was poisoned."
Dugu Yan's words made Dugu Bo feel heartbroken, but his granddaughter would be poisoned sooner or later, so he should let her know earlier.
"Then, Your Majesty, let me ask you. Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, do you feel numbness and itchiness in your ribs, and the itchiness gradually intensifies? It occurs once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, it should last for more than an hour each time.
Also, every night, around 3:00 AM, you will feel a stabbing pain on the top of your head and the soles of your feet. Your whole body will convulse for at least half an hour. I don't need to describe the excruciating pain. If you are not poisoned, would you have such symptoms? Not only have you been poisoned, but the poison has penetrated into your bones.
In my opinion, you must have eaten some rare treasures, which relieved the toxins and used the medicinal properties to break through to the Titled Douluo level, but you must have been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time.
As for your granddaughter, she must have been born with the venom of the green-scaled snake. She is born with poison, and the poison penetrates into her bones, so she has green eyes, which is obviously a sign of being severely poisoned.
She hasn't changed much at the moment. It's probably because the spirit ring you got for her didn't have much toxins, and you're using herbal baths to relieve her from the toxins.
But it's useless. She can't have the same willpower as you to suppress the poison and become a Title Douluo. I don't think she will live to be thirty."
After Li Luochen finished speaking, before he could react, Dugu Bo grabbed his neck.
"You're looking for death, kid!"
Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's weak spot. He has been trying his best to ease her pain. He can no longer bear the pain of seeing a loved one die.
Dugu Yan ran over and held Dugu Bo's hand, hoping that all this was fake. She wanted to know that all this was a lie, but Dugu Bo's silence made Dugu Yan more convinced that this was true. Then she thought of something and sat on the ground in pain.
"So that's how it is. It turns out that this is how my father was poisoned to death. My mother also died in childbirth because of the poison. Grandpa, I hate the Green Phosphorus Snake. I hate this martial spirit. Grandpa, please don't leave me again, okay?"
Dugu Bo felt distressed when he saw Dugu Yan's injured appearance, but he had no way to cry out to the sky.
"It's unfair of God. I, Dugu Bo, have been playing with drugs all my life but I can't do anything about the poison in my body. Now I have to implicate my relatives.
Boy, do you have any way to cure our grandfather and grandson? You can see so much, so there should be a way. If so, I promise you three things, and I will take care of your spirit rings in the future."
Dugu Bo's words were directed at Li Luochen. Dugu Yan also looked at Li Luochen at this time. She clearly hated this guy before but now she wanted him to save her life. Dugu Yan felt extremely complicated.
“Junior, although I know a little bit about medicine, there is nothing I can do. Your poison is extremely strong, and the herbs needed to detoxify it are also very expensive.
I don't have this kind of medicinal material, so I can't make an antidote. And the poison in your body would require a natural herb, or even a fairy-grade herb, to cure you, but this kind of thing is hard to come by."
Li Luochen's words clearly meant "there is no way", Dugu Yan's eyes were dim, but Dugu Bo was different. He happened to have a medicine garden, and the herbs in it were very rare, but he didn't recognize them and didn't dare to eat them. He once took one of them and it almost cost him his life.
"I have a medicine garden. I can take you there. If you still can't get rid of the poison, then I will kill you. I don't need a third person to know about that place."
Not long after, Dugu Bo brought Li Luochen and Dugu Yan to a place in the Sunset Forest. The area was filled with green poisonous miasma, and it was obvious that it was Dugu Bo's work.
"Hmm? Two little mice are coming over here? I want to see who is so bold."
Dugu Bo sensed someone approaching, a Soul Sage and a Soul Emperor.
"Wait, His Majesty should be looking for me. My elder is here."
Li Luochen knew that it must be Flanders and Liu Erlong who came to see him.
Soon Flanders and Liu Erlong arrived and were relieved to see that Li Luochen was fine. Just as they were about to say something to Dugu Bo, they were interrupted by Li Luochen.
"Dean, Uncle Erlong is fine. I just accidentally beat up Miss Dugu Yan. Senior Dugu was venting his anger on his granddaughter. However, seeing that I have great talent, he wanted to take me in as his apprentice. He is now training me.
I forgot to tell you, Master Dean, please go back. I'm fine. I'll probably be ready after a few months of training. I'll come back a few times during the process."
Li Luochen could only lie to Flanders and Liu Erlong. There was no other way; he couldn't let them know that Dugu Bo was poisoned, otherwise they would be silenced.
"In that case, please take good care of my student, Your Majesty Dugu. I will be very grateful."
Flanders clasped his hands and bowed to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo didn't have much to say. He looked at Li Luochen and felt that this boy was very smart and knew what to say. He was quick-witted and was a good candidate to be a grandson-in-law.
"Do you need to know what I do? Xiaochen, I will watch it, go back."
