Dugu Bo's Confidence, Squeezing into the Tent

Dugu Bo, green all over—even his hair was green—hummed a little tune as he emerged from Sunset Forest.

"This feels so good. Every now and then, I can soak in that little Ice and Fire spring and experience the extreme heat and extreme cold beside it."

"And breathe in the fragrance of the Immortal Flowers and Immortal Grasses nearby. It's practically bliss."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This truly is my little paradise of happiness."

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had just finished bathing in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he felt utterly refreshed.

Dugu Bo was renowned for his use of poison, yet he had been afflicted with a deadly poison that even he could not cure.

Whenever the weather turned cloudy or rainy, numbness and itching would appear beneath Dugu Bo's ribs, gradually worsening over time.

At midnight, needle-like pain would strike the top of his head and the soles of his feet, causing his entire body to convulse in unbearable agony.

Dugu Bo was known as the greatest poison soul master in the world, and his Douluo title itself was Poison.

Yet after spending his entire life wielding poison, he was utterly helpless against the poison backlash within his own body. It was a cruel joke Heaven had played on Dugu Bo.

Fortunately, Dugu Bo had found a miraculous place like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Not only could the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well nurture living things, but countless immortal herbs grew around it.

Moreover, it had an exceptionally unique effect on the human body.

With the help of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo could temporarily suppress the poison in his body and even use it to aid his cultivation.

Dugu Bo's survival under the intense backlash of the Jade Scale Snake Poison, and his eventual cultivation to the realm of a Titled Douluo, were closely tied to this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At this moment.

Dugu Bo had just emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After his bath and a breath of the scent from the immortal herbs and flowers, he was feeling thoroughly pleased with himself.

Now, Dugu Bo had to head to Heaven Dou City to clock in for work.

"I've been away from Heaven Dou City for quite some time. If I don't go back and see Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing soon, they'll probably start worrying."

Dugu Bo thought to himself.

After all, Dugu Bo held the position of an imperial guest of the Heaven Dou Empire, and his granddaughter, Gu Du Yan, was studying at the Royal Academy.

Therefore, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had to show his face from time to time and make his presence known.

He turned back for one last look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before finally leaving reluctantly.

"I set up a Poison Array around the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and I specifically reinforced it today. That place has now become forbidden ground."

"I doubt anyone can make it into my lair alive and steal my Immortal Flowers and Immortal Grasses. Hahaha."

Thinking of the Poison Array he had placed around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo could not help smiling smugly.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo bore poison as his title. Poison was his greatest specialty and the thing he took the most pride in.

Before leaving, Dugu Bo had already laid down a terrifying Poison Array around the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This Poison Array not only possessed deadly toxic defenses, but also had a certain concealment effect.

Dugu Bo was confident that no one below the rank of a level-seventy Soul Sage could enter the Poison Array he had set up and survive.

Even soul beasts with cultivation exceeding ten thousand years would not dare cross that line.

Even if a Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo managed to get through the Poison Array by chance, they would likely suffer a hidden loss.

Besides, how many Soul Douluos or Titled Douluos were there in this world who had nothing better to do than run into the heart of Sunset Forest and search it carefully?

Thus, in Dugu Bo's view, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was perfectly safe under his protection.

Enough talk. Time to go to work.

Meanwhile.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong had already entered the inner region of Sunset Forest's outer perimeter.

Ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year soul beasts frequently appeared in this area.

Both Du Bai and Bibi Dong had reached the level of Soul Douluo. Dealing with soul beasts below ten thousand years was as easy for them as an eagle pecking chicks.

Thus, Du Bai and Bibi Dong had nothing to fear and chose to set up camp in this area.

From gathering firewood to lighting the campfire, pitching the tent, and preparing beast-repelling and mosquito-repelling powder, Du Bai completed everything in one smooth motion.

This was Du Bai's first time setting up camp, but with his memories, patience, and Bibi Dong's help, he did a fairly decent job.

Looking at the temporary campsite, not only was Du Bai satisfied, but Bibi Dong beside him was also quite pleased.

"Bibi Dong, to avoid arousing the suspicion of the elders and the Pope, I only brought one tent on this trip. Looks like we'll have to squeeze in together tonight."

Du Bai spoke with a straight face, though he had actually planned this long ago.

Hahaha, Little Dong Dong, my wife, we'll be sharing a bed tonight!

Though he looked serious on the surface, Du Bai was smug inside.

Bibi Dong could hear Du Bai's inner thoughts, so she naturally knew his true purpose.

After thinking for a moment, Bibi Dong did not refuse him.

"Fine."

Bibi Dong glared at Du Bai and reluctantly agreed.

Their time together had made Bibi Dong feel that Du Bai was not a bad person. At the very least, he was quite sincere toward her.

Though they had only spent four days together, Bibi Dong had gradually begun to understand Du Bai through his inner thoughts.

People's mouths, especially men's mouths, could lie, but inner thoughts could not.

Bibi Dong was glad that she could hear Du Bai's inner thoughts and see through his every action and intention.

As long as Du Bai made any move or harbored any improper thoughts, his inner voice would alert Bibi Dong in advance.

If she had been alone with a stranger, Bibi Dong would likely have remained vigilant at all times.

Bibi Dong would certainly have found an excuse, such as needing someone to guard the camp at night, and would have taken turns resting with him—or not rested at all.

But now, Bibi Dong was completely relaxed.

After a long while.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong entered the tent to rest.

I deliberately brought a smaller tent. Little Dong Dong, my wife, here I come!

Du Bai's heart stirred with excitement.

Hearing Du Bai's inner thoughts, Bibi Dong blushed, but she still did not reject him.

First, Bibi Dong felt that she was relatively safe now; second, she wanted to hear more of Du Bai's different inner thoughts.

At this moment.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong were already lying down. There were two soft pillows and one warm quilt.

However, clothes had been placed in the middle of the quilt as a divider, along with a sharp dagger.

If Du Bai dared cross the line by even half a step, the third gun between his legs and its two bullets would likely be lost forever.

This is torture.

Du Bai swallowed. Although the dagger and clothing lay between them—

He could still clearly sense the faint warmth radiating from Bibi Dong's delicate skin and alluring curves, while his nose filled with a subtle fragrance.

Bibi Dong lay on her side, exposing a tempting fragrant shoulder. Her silky black hair draped over her shoulders, filling the air with fragrance.

Du Bai was also lying on his side, except he was facing Bibi Dong.

At this moment, Du Bai's third gun—apart from Barrett and Fire Qilin—was aimed directly at Bibi Dong's backside.

Don't move. You're already in my sights. Raise your hands, lift that jade-like butt, and surrender on the spot.
