Li Jiuchuan Was Left Speechless

Li Haitian saw Dugu Bo sink into thought and stepped forward politely. "Poison Douluo, you came from afar to treat my poisoning. Even if you gained no credit, you still put in the effort. Why not stay with Young Master Ye as our guest?"

"No need."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and strode out of the bedroom.

Staring at Ye Tian's back, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth.

It seems I'll have to bleed a little, or he won't help me.

But if I can take another step forward and become a Super Douluo, it will all be worth it.

With that thought, he stepped forward again and called out to stop Ye Tian. "Young Master Ye, please wait!"

Zhou Long, standing behind Ye Tian, looked displeased and raised a brow. "Poison Douluo, what do you mean by this? We already told you that Young Master Ye will not act for free."

Dugu Bo ignored Zhou Long. Instead, he stared at Ye Tian as he turned around and said, "I know of a place called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Inside, there are..."

"There are countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, aren't there?" Ye Tian chuckled and shrugged. "Doesn't Dugu Douluo see that I'm not a soul master? No matter how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures there are, what use would they be in my hands?"

"Besides, it's not as though I don't have the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Ye Tian could tell that this old fellow, Dugu Bo, was determined to obtain a cure for the Blue Phosphorus Snake Venom.

He had even brought up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Next, he would probably offer up his granddaughter...

But Ye Tian had no interest in any of that.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were indeed precious, but judging by their medicinal effects, they were worth only one or two million Gold Soul Coins.

With his skill in pill refinement, he could easily make up for the lack of age with quantity of Medicinal Materials.

"I wonder, what price does Your Excellency wish to name?"

Dugu Bo could no longer hold back.

He truly had not expected Ye Tian to know even about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

And to be utterly dismissive of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within.

Dugu Bo was completely out of bargaining chips.

Revealing his bottom line, he said, "As long as it is something this old man can accept, name your price!"

What he had pursued all his life was strength.

Now that he had a chance to advance to Super Douluo, he absolutely could not let it slip away.

Hearing this, Ye Tian had not expected Dugu Bo to be so persistent about completely eliminating the hidden danger of the snake venom.

A Titled Douluo was important, certainly important, especially since he had the potential to advance to Super Douluo.

A Super Douluo could be considered a strategic-level figure on Douluo Continent.

Yet it would not be wrong to say he was unimportant.

Without Ye Tian's help, Dugu Bo would likely have no hope of advancing for the rest of his life.

After considering it carefully, Ye Tian recalled that troubled times were about to descend upon Douluo Continent.

Dugu Bo held considerable status in the Heaven Dou Empire. Perhaps Ye Tian might need the man's connections in the future.

With that in mind, he looked calmly at Dugu Bo. "For the sake of our fate, I won't ask you to promise me anything. Let us simply become friends. One million Gold Soul Coins, and not a coin less."

"One million..."

Dugu Bo still clicked his tongue. Even one million was beyond what he could afford!

"This old man does not have that much money on him..." Dugu Bo wore a bitter expression.

Ye Tian slapped his forehead, rendered speechless. Was this man really that poor?

He could not even afford one million!

Dugu Bo knew that one million Gold Soul Coins was already an exceptionally generous price from Ye Tian.

He did not ask for a discount. Instead, he said tactfully, "Young Master Ye, could I... owe the money for now?"

"Once this old man gathers it, I will repay you immediately!"

Then Dugu Bo felt that this was still somewhat inappropriate. One million was not easy to earn, either!

Thus, he spoke again.

"How about this? This old man can work for Young Master Ye free of charge to repay the debt..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian and Zhou Long exchanged a glance and nearly burst out laughing.

One million had truly stumped a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo was, after all, a man of status, so they could not press him too hard.

Zhou Long stepped forward to ease the atmosphere. "Young Master, your businesses may expand into the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. Dugu Bo might be able to help, so why not let him work off the debt?"

"Yes, yes, I'll work off the debt!" Dugu Bo cast Zhou Long a grateful look. Sure enough, in a critical moment, he could still rely on a fellow soul master!

Since Zhou Long had spoken on Dugu Bo's behalf, Ye Tian could not refuse.

His businesses were so vast that he could afford to support one more Dugu Bo.

"Fine. In a few days, I will open a branch in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. You can oversee it there."

"Many thanks, Young Master Ye!" Dugu Bo was immensely grateful.

He would only need to keep order there. That was far too easy.

Perhaps by latching onto Ye Tian, he could gain quite a few benefits as well.

For the rest of his life, Dugu Bo would be set!

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo was overjoyed.

Ye Tian said blandly, "I do not have spare Medicinal Materials with me. You can go to the Butterfly Farm on the East Sea Coast and find the person in charge, Chen Jian, to collect them."

"You only need to tell Chen Jian about your symptoms, and he will prescribe medicine for you."

After speaking, Ye Tian took out paper and a pen from his Storage Soul Tool and wrote Dugu Bo a Letter of Introduction.

Chen Jian had stayed by Ye Tian's side for three years.

It could be said that Chen Jian knew most of the medical theories Ye Tian knew.

The mere Blue Phosphorus Snake Venom was nothing to worry about.

Dugu Bo accepted the Letter of Introduction and bowed again. "Thank you, Young Master Ye. Time is of the essence. This old man will go collect them at once!"

He could not wait to obtain the antidote.

He had no mood to remain on Golden Turtle Island any longer.

"Mm." Ye Tian nodded lightly.

After Dugu Bo left, Ye Tian finally noticed something.

He looked up and asked Zhou Long, "What's going on? Where is Na Na? She was here earlier. Why is she nowhere to be seen?"

Zhou Long said, "Miss Na Na said she had diarrhea. She probably went to the bathroom."

Hearing that, Ye Tian could not help rubbing his forehead.

Given Na Na's gluttony, she had probably stolen something to eat again.

That was why she had diarrhea.

This was good too. It would teach her a lesson.

Not long after, Li Jiuchuan emerged from the bedroom. Upon seeing Ye Tian, she walked over with a smile and suggested, "How about I show Young Master Ye around Golden Turtle Island?"

After Li Haitian's poisoning was cured, the knot in Li Jiuchuan's heart was untied, and she became much happier.

Ye Tian waved his hand. "No, Na Na has gone somewhere. I'll wait for her here."

At the mention of Na Na, Li Jiuchuan's smile turned slightly awkward, and she nodded.

"...All right."

Inside, she felt a little envious. Na Na was truly fortunate.

The three of them chatted idly in the courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later.

A furtive figure quietly appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing her golden hair, Ye Tian narrowed his eyes. "Hey, Golden-haired Girl, I see you."

Hearing this, Hu Liena shyly straightened up and glanced around. Only after confirming that Dugu Bo was gone did she walk over to Ye Tian.

She puffed out her chest and snorted softly. "Why does it feel like you're calling a puppy?"

Ye Tian stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Put that way, I suppose it wouldn't be impossible."

"You! Hmph!" Hu Liena crossed her arms and turned her head aside, lightly blowing at her bangs.

Seeing Hu Liena's haughty expression, Ye Tian remained calm.

Little girl, trying this on me?

He slowly turned to Li Jiuchuan. "Jiuchuan Sister, I heard there's a place to fish on Golden Turtle Island. Why don't we go fishing together?"

That single "Jiuchuan Sister" left Li Jiuchuan completely speechless.

Her entire face flushed red as an apple.

Her mind had gone completely blank, unable to think of any reply.

She stood there dumbly, staring at Ye Tian.

Only after a long while did she manage to answer, "Mm!"
