Douluo I's Must-Eat List: The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
"Woohoo!"
The Blazing Fire Heavenly Horse flew on a cloud of fiery red flames beneath its hooves, despite having no wings.
From a distance, it could be summed up in one word: cool.
"That should be about the place."
Stelle pointed in a direction.
Unlike everywhere else, a sea of emerald-green poisonous fog lay ahead.
"Poisonous fog? Sister Stelle, are you sure nobody's here?"
Stelle scratched her head.
"I'm not sure. I was flying along before when I crashed down here. I didn't see any poisonous fog then."
"Poisonous fog..."
Stelle and Wei Xi were still puzzled, but Xue Qinghe, behind them, began to ponder.
If anyone in Heaven Dou City was famous for poison, it could only be the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
In other words, the medicinal garden these two spoke of likely belonged to the Poison Douluo.
"What should we do? Are we still going down?"
Before Wei Xi could come up with an answer, she heard a voice holding back its anger from afar.
"Since you've come, why not come down and meet me?"
Wei Xi and Stelle exchanged a glance, then decided to go down and take a look.
"Why don't we... wait for your guardian? The person below is probably the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, who's famous for his poisons."
Although Xue Qinghe wasn't all that afraid of the Poison Douluo either, that was the worst-case scenario.
These two little ones didn't seem to have brought Mo Xuan when they left earlier.
It was the first time Xue Qinghe had seen anyone leave their own guardian behind.
"Relax. I've heard of the Poison Douluo too. Doesn't everyone say he's the gatekeeper of the Titled Douluo? Even if we can't beat him, we can definitely run away."
Xue Qinghe: "..."
Good grief. Even if he's the gatekeeper, he's still a Titled Douluo! Especially since he's famous for poison-to anyone below the Titled Douluo level, he's practically the King of Hell.
"Besides, we still have Little Bird here. I don't believe he can beat her."
Xingbao patted her mount.
The mount responded in agreement. If she couldn't even beat him, she might as well find a block of tofu and stew herself in it.
"Come on, let's go down and take a look."
Xue Qinghe said no more. As it happened, she was also quite curious about the identities of these two, so she would see if the Poison Douluo could draw something out.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo watched the figures descending with a grave expression.
A few days ago, after discovering that someone had entered his medicinal garden, he had doubled the poisonous miasma around it.
Only a Titled Douluo could make it through his poisonous miasma.
Fortunately, only a few herbs were missing, and they were all unimportant ones.
He believed the intruder would definitely return. He had kept watch here for the past few days, ready to make the thief pay with their life.
Did they really think he, Dugu Bo, was easy to bully?
As it turned out, the intruder had indeed come back—and from the sky, no less.
"Damn! Who on earth are these people? How is there a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast involved too?"
Wei Xi and the others weren't flying very high, so Dugu Bo could see them. He didn't think he could defeat a faction that could use a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a mount.
Of course, that didn't mean he feared them. Although he was the floor tile among Titled Douluo, that was only among Titled Douluo. Below that level, he could kill whoever he wanted.
Of course, it would be best to settle things peacefully.
Wei Xi and the other two landed.
"So young?"
A trace of surprise appeared on Dugu Bo's face. He had considered that the intruder might be a Titled Douluo like himself, or a reclusive expert older than him. The one thing he hadn't imagined was that the intruder would be a child younger than his granddaughter.
And... why was Xue Qinghe here?
"Hello, I'm Wei Xi, and this is my sister, Stelle. Old sir, is this medicinal garden yours?"
"It is my medicinal garden."
Dugu Bo's body tensed slightly. Both the Rift-Sky Azure Eagle and the Blazing Fire Heavenly Horse had fixed their gazes on him.
Their eyes made it perfectly clear: if he dared make a reckless move, they would scatter his ashes.
"Um... I didn't know this was your medicinal garden."
Stelle never denied what she had done.
"I got lost and happened to wander in here by mistake. I was too hungry, so I found some things that looked edible and ate them. I only ate some things from the outer area. I didn't touch anything inside at all."
As she spoke, Stelle pointed to the place where she had pulled up the plants.
Dugu Bo was slightly surprised. This little girl was willing to own up to what she had done.
His favorable impression of Stelle rose a tiny bit.
"If it was an accident, it's no great matter. After all, it was only some food. What have you come here for this time?"
"We thought this medicinal garden didn't have an owner, so we were planning to move it back home."
Xue Qinghe: "!!!"
Wait, girl! You just came right out and said it? Aren't you afraid he'll turn against you?
But on second thought, with a hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast like the Rift-Sky Azure Eagle here, they did seem to have reason to be confident.
"Hahaha! Little girl, you came right out and said that. Aren't you afraid I'll attack the two of you? You should know I'm famous for poison. Even with that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast behind you, it might not be able to stop me."
Dugu Bo was still confident in that regard. Although he couldn't beat that beast, he could still poison two little brats to death.
"Old Master Dugu shouldn't be so shameless as to attack a little six-year-old child like me, right?"
Wei Xi didn't feel threatened by him in the slightest—or rather, she simply didn't care.
What a joke. My Holy Angel has twelve wings. It's poison's natural bane.
Besides, I have a Stellaron spirit behind me. If you really dare attack, she'll show you the true meaning of Preservation.
"Hey! Old poison! Since this is your turf, I won't take advantage of you. Go on, what do you want?"
Stelle didn't care about this or that. I am a martial general; I can't understand all your jabbering. Take my Skyfire Unsheathed first, then we'll talk.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. It seemed this little girl was the reckless type.
"Sister Stelle, you... never mind. As long as you're happy."
Wei Xi put a hand to her forehead. If you were counting on Stelle to be serious, you might as well count on Aha following Order.
"Old sir, Sister Stelle already told you why we came. We thought it had no owner, so we wanted to take it home."
"And now?"
"We're not going to take it anymore."
Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised. His medicinal garden contained many treasures, even if he didn't recognize them.
Yet they had given up so easily?
"This medicinal garden isn't an absolute necessity for us. We only wanted to take it home to make big brother happy. Besides, it's not like we're robbers. Why would we go to the trouble of robbing someone?"
Wei Xi spoke bluntly, making no attempt to hide her thoughts.
She didn't need to hide them. Since she was playing a game, naturally she could do whatever she wanted.
"But... Sister Stelle did eat some herbs, after all. Old sir, you should be poisoned right now, shouldn't you?"
Dugu Bo: !!!
"We can cure it."
Dugu Bo: !!!
