Guibao stepped forward. The Black Pattern Guibao Spirit emerged behind him, while two Yellow Level, two Purple Level, and five black Spirit Rings flashed continuously beneath his feet.
An aura even more powerful than Dugu Bo's gradually spread outward with Guibao at its center.
"Dugu Bo, shall we have a little spar?"
Guibao lightly rolled his wrists, ready to strike at any moment.
The Soul Piercing Spear Spirit appeared in Yang Wushuang's hand. Two Yellow Level, two Purple Level, and four black Spirit Rings emerged beneath his feet.
The Soul Breaking Spear spun once in his hand, its icy, glinting tip pointing straight at Dugu Bo.
Although Yang Wushuang was merely an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and his Soul Power Level was below that of Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, the Breaking Clan pursued pure offense. In terms of attack power alone, Yang Wushuang was no weaker than a nine-ring Titled Douluo.
If they truly fought, Yang Wushuang could not guarantee that he would defeat Dugu Bo, but ensuring that he would not lose would not be a problem.
"Another Titled Douluo, and an eight-ring Soul Douluo."
Dugu Bo's gaze gradually darkened.
After considering it again and again,
Dugu Bo was the first to withdraw his Martial Soul. He sat back down in the wicker chair, with no intention of fighting any further.
If there had been even the slightest chance, Dugu Bo truly would have liked to try and see whether he could keep Bai Wanwan here.
In any case, he did not care about his reputation or his dignity. He had always acted according to his own preferences, and he cared even less about bullying the young with his seniority.
But unfortunately, from the aura Guibao gave off, Dugu Bo could tell that Guibao's Soul Power Level surpassed his own. Coupled with an eight-ring Soul Douluo watching him like a tiger, taking Bai Wanwan from under their noses was simply impossible.
Even in a one-on-one battle, Dugu Bo had no confidence that he could defeat Guibao.
"Young lady, the old man isn't an unreasonable person either. Let's put aside the matter of the herb garden for now and discuss the matter of detoxification first."
"Do you really have a way to detoxify me?"
"And what price will it require?"
Dugu Bo poured himself a cup of clear tea and drank it by himself.
Although he did not know whether the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest truly belonged to Bai Wanwan's family, that was no longer important.
If it belonged to Bai Wanwan's family, then it was only natural for her to reclaim it.
If it did not belong to Bai Wanwan's family and she truly wanted to seize it, Dugu Bo could not stop her anyway.
Bai Wanwan currently had a Titled Douluo and an eight-ring Soul Douluo by her side. Adding the other Titled Douluo he had seen yesterday, let alone taking his herb garden, even dealing with him would not be difficult.
And if Bai Wanwan truly had a way to detoxify him, it did not matter whether the herb garden remained in his hands. After all, its greatest use to Dugu Bo was suppressing the snake venom. If Bai Wanwan could detoxify him, then the herb garden's value would naturally be greatly reduced.
"Poison Douluo, do you think I have any reason to joke with you about detoxification?"
"As for the price..."
Bai Wanwan paused slightly, and a beautiful curve gradually formed at the corners of her lips. "That depends on how important this matter is in your heart, Senior."
"After all, no one should understand the agony of snake venom backlash better than you. Even with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressing it, whether your granddaughter can endure it is still unknown."
Dugu Bo lowered his gaze to the teacup in his hand and remained silent for a long time, seemingly pondering something.
In Dugu Bo's view, there was an eighty percent chance that Bai Wanwan's method of detoxification was real. Just as she had said herself, there was no need for her to joke with him about this matter.
What troubled Dugu Bo was the so-called price.
If Bai Wanwan had named a price herself, he might still have had room to negotiate. But now, Bai Wanwan had handed the initiative to him and allowed him to decide what the price would be.
If he offered too little, detoxification would naturally be out of the question.
But if the price he paid was too high, the other side might further probe his bottom line and force him to pay even more.
Seeing Dugu Bo fall silent, Bai Wanwan was not anxious at all. The initiative was in her hands. Unless Dugu Bo did not care about his granddaughter and was willing to let her suffer the backlash of the snake venom, he would definitely have to yield.
The reason for letting him name the price himself was simple as well. The higher the price he offered, the more weight this matter held in his heart. And the more weight it held, the more room she had to raise the price and obtain greater benefits.
"Senior, you don't need to give me an answer in a hurry. I will be in Heaven Dou City for a long time. Once you've thought it over, you can come find me anytime."
Bai Wanwan smiled at Dugu Bo, rose to her feet, and headed out of the courtyard.
But when she reached the courtyard gate, Bai Wanwan stopped again and turned to look at Dugu Bo. "Senior, you are known for having poison unrivaled beneath heaven, so you must understand that detoxifying someone who has just been poisoned and detoxifying someone whose poison has seeped into the marrow are completely different in both difficulty and process."
Once she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan lightly snapped her fingers and directly left Dugu Bo's courtyard with Guibao and Yang Wushuang.
Watching their figures gradually recede into the distance,
Dugu Bo gave a low laugh and shook his head helplessly. "What an extraordinary little girl."
The matter of detoxification seemed to leave the choice in his hands, but in reality, as long as he cared about his granddaughter, only one path had ever been laid before him.
Unless he could find someone else with a way to detoxify him, this was an unsolvable dead end, because he had no other choice.
Dugu Bo lay back down in the wicker chair. It creaked as it swayed, but his eyes remained filled with deep contemplation.
Heaven Dou City.
On the bustling street, Guibao looked at Bai Wanwan walking ahead of him and could not help asking softly, "Young Lady, where are we going now?"
"Sunset Forest."
Bai Wanwan's voice was calm, but her azure blue eyes were fixed in the direction of Sunset Forest.
The Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were rare treasures.
And since they were good things, she could only rest easy after taking them for herself.
After hearing her words, Guibao and Yang Wushuang, who had been following behind Bai Wanwan, did not ask any further questions. They simply followed in her footsteps and continued forward.
After leaving Heaven Dou City,
their speed increased. In only a few blinks, they vanished beyond the edge of sight, as though they had never appeared at all.
