Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!

"Stop this at once!" The curvaceous young woman's expression was gloomy, her voice sharp and stern.

Seeing this, Li Jiuchuan instinctively took two steps back.

"No, Sis. His name is Ye Tian. I invited him to treat Grandpa."

The young woman before them was named Li Man, the Li Family's legitimate eldest granddaughter.

"Treat him?" Li Man folded her arms and gave Ye Tian a once-over, letting out a chilling sneer.

"Some backwoods quack dragged in from God knows where thinks he's worthy of treating my grandfather?"

The sight of Li Jiuchuan annoyed Li Man.

Her own father was her grandfather's eldest legitimate son.

She herself was the Li Family's rightful eldest legitimate granddaughter.

Yet Li Jiuchuan was merely the granddaughter of one of her grandfather's friends!

She was not even born into the Li Family!

More than ten years ago, her grandfather's friend had fallen gravely ill and entrusted the newborn Li Jiuchuan to the Li Family.

From the day Li Jiuchuan arrived, practically every good thing in the Li Family had been taken by her.

Even ordinarily, her grandfather treated Li Jiuchuan more warmly than he treated her!

The root of all this was Li Jiuchuan's existence!

It could be said that Li Jiuchuan was the shadow that had haunted her entire childhood!

Over time, Li Man had even begun to fear that her grandfather would hand the Li Family's inheritance to Li Jiuchuan in the future!

That could never be allowed to happen!

At that thought, Li Man's expression gradually turned cold. Pointing at her, she said, "Li Jiuchuan, you little bastard born to parents but raised by no one, you actually colluded with some country quack to harm my grandfather!"

"I'm giving you one chance now. Get out of the Li Family immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for dealing with you according to the family rules!"

Upon hearing that, Li Jiuchuan's face instead hardened with resolve. She looked at Li Man expressionlessly. "Li Man, don't mistake my tolerance for permission to run wild. I only want to treat Grandpa."

She had never once thought of competing with Li Man for any of the Li Family's property.

But Li Man never let her off.

Nor did she ever miss an opportunity to humiliate her.

Li Jiuchuan had long had enough.

If Li Haitian had not still been in charge of the Li Family, she would have wanted to leave this home long ago.

After hearing Li Jiuchuan's words, a burly young man beside Li Man stepped forward and mocked, "You needn't concern yourself with Grandpa's illness."

"I've already spent a fortune to invite the renowned Poison Douluo Dugu Bo of the Heaven Dou Empire to treat Grandpa. Once Senior Dugu makes a move, won't it be easily resolved?"

After saying that, the young man looked Ye Tian over with utter disdain. "You're not even that old, yet you dare pretend to be a physician. You even dared take on the Li Family Patriarch's illness. You've got some nerve! Get out of my sight, Zhao Gou's sight, right now!"

A guard beside Zhao Gou stepped forward, swept his gaze over Ye Tian's group, and shouted, "This is the son of the Black Panther Duke of the Heaven Dou Empire! Why haven't you vermin gotten out of here?"

"Why is it so noisy?" At that moment, a displeased voice came from outside the door.

Then, a burly old man with a full beard walked into the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing him, Zhao Gou hurriedly made way and bowed deferentially. "Senior Dugu, it was only a small matter. I'm terribly sorry to have disturbed you."

Dugu Bo raised a brow, glanced over Ye Tian's group, and said with dissatisfaction, "My time is very valuable."

"My sincerest apologies." Zhao Gou smiled obsequiously.

Pointing at Li Haitian on the bed, he bowed and said, "I ask Senior Dugu to save him."

Li Man shot Li Jiuchuan a vicious glare. "I'll deal with you, you little slut, later!"

After Dugu Bo arrived, Li Jiuchuan did not say another word.

In truth, she no longer knew what she could say.

After a long while, she looked apologetically at Ye Tian beside her. "Sorry, I didn't know Li Man would invite Senior Dugu."

Ye Tian smiled calmly and lightly waved a hand at Li Jiuchuan.

He had been slightly surprised upon seeing Dugu Bo enter.

After that surprise came faint mockery.

He had thought they would invite someone important. So it was Dugu Bo.

This was a character who had appeared many times in the original story.

His martial soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, making him an expert at using poison.

But he had absolutely nothing to do with healing.

So Ye Tian wanted to see how the Poison Douluo had become a miracle doctor capable of treating Nether Jellyfish poison.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Li Haitian's treatment, Hu Liena, who stood in the corner, was already quietly slipping away.

Honestly, she had been shocked when she heard Dugu Bo's name.

As part of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, she had personally watched Dugu Bo's Titled Douluo coronation ceremony back then.

They had also met on many occasions, so they could be considered acquainted.

If he recognized her now, wouldn't she be finished?

Had she known Dugu Bo would come here, she absolutely would not have come to Golden Turtle Island.

But now that she was here, slipping away was her only option.

She concealed her aura and quietly headed toward the bedroom door, but the moment she took a step, Zhou Long beside her noticed.

Zhou Long stared at Hu Liena with puzzlement in his eyes.

Noticing Zhou Long's expression, Hu Liena blushed. She placed an index finger to her lips and silently mouthed, "My stomach hurts."

Hearing this, Zhou Long nodded lightly without suspecting anything.

Hu Liena let out a quiet breath of relief and continued sneaking out, eventually slipping from the bedroom.

As she made her escape, Dugu Bo began treating Li Haitian.

Standing to one side, Ye Tian watched as Dugu Bo felt around Li Haitian's body and guided his blood essence toward his right arm.

He could not help letting out a soft laugh.

Wasn't this the method Tang San had taught Dugu Bo to remove the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor?

Guide the toxins in one's body into a Soul Bone.

That old fellow had learned it quite convincingly.

But this method was truly one that inflicted eighty points of damage on the enemy while dealing a hundred to oneself.

Not only would one's cultivation stagnate, but once a Soul Bone fused into the body, it merged with one's own bones.

If toxins were infused into the Soul Bone, a considerable portion would seep into the skeleton.

At best, it would greatly shorten one's lifespan; at worst, it would directly affect the neurons and paralyze the entire body.

More importantly, this method only worked on ordinary toxins.

If Li Haitian had only been poisoned by the Tooth Poison Sea Lion, Dugu Bo might have accidentally cured him.

But the Nether Jellyfish toxin had already penetrated deep into his brain. It could not be guided out through the bloodstream at all.

This treatment method was no better than doing nothing.

Hearing the soft laugh behind him, Dugu Bo immediately turned around and frowned. "Boy, what are you laughing at?"

Hearing that, Zhao Gou flew into a rage and pointed at Ye Tian. "What are you? You still dare remain in my Li Family's home? You dare act so presumptuously even with Senior Dugu here! Men, throw him out, give him eighty heavy strokes, then drag him into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Who dares lay a hand on him!"

Li Jiuchuan stood up despite herself. She had already made Ye Tian return empty-handed. If she let him get hurt too, her guilt would be even greater.

Seeing this, Li Man folded her arms and sneered mockingly. "Heh, you ungrateful bitch, you've finally revealed your true nature."

Then her expression turned cold. "Guards, get them! Throw both of them out together!"

"Yes!" Two burly Soul Sages entered from outside and strode forward.

Li Jiuchuan looked at Ye Tian in panic, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

But Ye Tian was, after all, a guest she had invited. No matter what, she could not allow him to suffer humiliation now.

At once, five soul rings—yellow, yellow, yellow, purple, purple—lit up around her as she warily faced Li Man. "Don't push people too far!"
