The Death of Poison Douluo!
"What?"
Ye Feng stood up in shock. He excitedly reached out and grabbed Zhao Wuji by the collar, shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Ye Feng, calm down," Zhao Wuji advised.
Ye Feng realized his impulsiveness and released Zhao Wuji's collar. He then followed Zhao Wuji towards Heaven Dou City.
On the way, Zhao Wuji told Ye Feng the whole story.
It turns out that Dugu Bo suddenly left Heaven Dou City a few days ago.
In the past, when Dugu Bo's poison flared up, he would always disappear for a day or two. He needed to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to relieve the pain in his body.
However, four days have passed since Dugu Bo Dugu Bo left, and he is still nowhere to be found. Dugu Yan began to panic, searching for Dugu Bo all over the streets.
Seeing Dugu Yan's appearance, Prince Xue Xing spontaneously ordered a search for Dugu Bo, declaring that he would either find him alive or dead.
As a result, this morning, Prince Xue Xing's men found Dugu Bo. They found Dugu Bo's body in a grove of trees near Sunset Forest.
When Ye Feng arrived at the Prince's Residence in Heaven Dou City, he couldn't find Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan, he inquired and learned that Dugu Yan had fainted due to the shock she had suffered. Prince Xue Xing led Dugu Yan to a room where her boyfriend Yu Tianheng, was taking care of her.
Ye Feng looked at the corpse on the ground. The body was covered with a cloth. Ye Feng walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.
Beneath the white sheet lay a decaying, unrecognizable corpse. The head was missing. The outline of the body, however, strongly resembled Dugu Bo. A dark green ring adorned the corpse's ring finger.
Ye Feng stood up, looked at Prince Xue Xing, and asked, "How did the Old Poison die?"
"The matter has been investigated. The Old Poison was trying to enter Sunset Forest as usual, but he was ambushed halfway. The other side consisted of seven Soul King, three Soul Emperors, and two Soul Saint."
"How could these people alone kill the Old Poison?"
Ye Feng interrupted Prince Xue Xing Prince Xue Xing, questioning him skeptically. "Dugu Bo is Titled Douluo of level ninety-two. How could seven Soul King, three Soul Emperors, and two Soul Saint possibly kill a Titled Douluo?"
Prince Xue Xing sighed and said regretfully, "This is because the other party poisoned them."
"Poisoning?"
"Yes, it's a colorless and odorless poison. It's hard to detect. They only attacked Senior Dugu after he Senior Dugu ate the poisoned food. The poison aggravated the poison in Dugu Bo's body, weakening Senior Dugu's strength, which allowed them to kill Dugu Bo."
Who is the other party?
"They perished together with Senior Dugu. After investigation, it was found that Senior Dugu had a grudge against them more than ten years ago."
"More than ten years ago?" Ye Feng frowned and stared at Prince Xue Xing.
"Yes." Prince Xue Xing nodded slightly. However, Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on him, a guilty glint flashing in his eyes, as he asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Ye Feng was stunned.
Ye Feng caught the fleeting look of guilt in Prince Xue Xing's eyes. Ye Feng wondered to himself, what exactly was Prince Xue Xing feeling guilty about? Or rather, what was Prince Xue Xing hiding?
A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Feng's mind, and something came to mind.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, a young man emerged from a side room and approached Prince Xue Xing. He was none other than Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan's boyfriend.
Yu Tianheng said, "I want to take Yan Yan back with me."
"Yu Tianheng".
Ye Feng's expression froze. Looking at Yu Tianheng, he became even more certain of his thoughts. Immediately, Ye Feng went to check on the unconscious Dugu Yan. He instructed Yu Tianheng to take good care of Dugu Yan, and that he would do his utmost to help with any arrangements for Dugu Bo's funeral. Afterwards, Ye Feng and Zhao Wuji left the Prince's Residence.
On the way back to the Shrek Academy, Ye Feng sent Zhao Wuji away. They entered a dark and secluded alley.
Ye Feng leaned against the wall. The alley was deserted. As if talking to thin air, he muttered, "You rascal, I thought you were really dead!"
"You noticed that."
Dugu Bo's voice rang in Ye Feng's ears. On the roof of the wall Ye Feng was leaning against, a ripple spread through the space, and a person shrouded in a black robe walked out of the void.
"Of course. My spiritual power is about to break through to the Mustard Seed Realm. You've been following me ever since we left the Prince's Residence. Tell me, is what Prince Xue Xing said the truth?"
"More or less. But it wasn't that those people wanted me dead, it was that I wanted to fake my death. But I couldn't find a suitable person. So I gave them a chance to kill me. I deliberately leaked my whereabouts. They never knew until their deaths that, apart from the information they had that I gave them, even the Medicine Capital indirectly given to them by me."
"Was it all to test whether Yu Tianheng was truly sincere towards Dugu Yan?"
"Yes."
"Does Prince Xue Xing know?"
"Little Monster, you said it yourself. To put on this show well, Yan Yan must lose the support of any power. So we must let the Prince know."
"I did say that. But I only said I'd make you disappear for a while, not that I'd make you fake your death. I asked you to imitate me, how did you manage to surpass me?" Ye Feng scolded irritably.
"Hehe, this is what you call the student surpassing the master." Dugu Bo chuckled smugly, stood up, and said, "Alright. I'm leaving now. I hope that kid Tian Heng is truly sincere towards Yan Yan. If he dares to abandon Yan Yan, I'll be the first to punish him."
"Old Poison, don't do anything reckless. After all, he is a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"I know. I'm skilled with poison. If I can't kill him, can't I at least cripple him?"
With a thought, Dugu Bo's body rippled. He had vanished from the rooftop.
When Ye Feng returned to the Shrek Academy, Ye Feng found that Xiao Wu had someone else by her side.
"Xiao Wu, who is she?"
"She is Xiao Mi."
"Xiao Mi?"
"Yes, she is also a transformed Soul Beast, just like me. But she wasn't as lucky as me. After transforming, she fought with humans, her Soul Power was sealed, and she was even sent to the Heaven Dou City auction house for auction."
"Auction?"
Ye Feng was stunned and looked at the Catwoman Xiao Mi surprise.
Xiao Mi's fair skin was like lustrous jade, and her short, light green hair was quite charming. Her eyes were one blue and one green, each with its own unique allure. A white cat tail extended from her rump.
Listening to Xiao Wu's introduction, Xiao Mi hid behind Xiao Wu in fear and asked reproachfully, "Sister Xiao Wu, why did you tell him my real identity?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. And I know my true identity."
"Really?" Xiao Mi asked.
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded emphatically.
"Xiao Wu." Ye Feng remembered that Xiao Mi was bought by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the original storyline, so how did she end up in Xiao Wu's hands? He asked curiously, "How did she end up with you?"
"It was a gift from Uncle Ning," Xiao Wu replied.
"Uncle Ning?"
"Yes. I think it's because she's a transformed Soul Beast that she was sent here. Because I'm also a transformed Soul Beast."
