A Titled Douluo Senior Wants Something for Nothing?

"How did you know!?"

Li Yu looked at the stunned Dugu Bo, with no surprise in his eyes.

Outsiders knew nothing of Dugu Bo's condition. Even after Xiao Sanzi cured him, there were probably no more than a handful of people who knew about it.

Moreover, Qian Renxue had never been close to Dugu Bo.

It was only natural that she did not know.

Besides, Dugu Bo bore the title of Poison Douluo. How could he possibly spread the fact that he had been injured by his own poison?

This matter was even less widely known.

Logically speaking, even if Li Yu knew, he should never have spoken of it in order to ensure his own safety.

However.

The situation had now changed!

Devouring Fang could convert poison into Soul Power, thereby increasing his strength.

It could be said that "poison" had become his experience pack!

Naturally, he had to pay more attention to this area!

And where was the biggest experience pack?

Wasn't Dugu Bo before him, Poison Douluo Your Majesty, exactly that?

Setting aside the poison within his body, based solely on his research into poison, it was impossible that he had no stored poisons!

That was why he had made this decision.

He would directly expose Dugu Bo's physical condition.

As for whether Dugu Bo would resort to force after he said it.

He had naturally considered that as well.

But leaving aside his current identity, Dugu Bo would never lightly make a move against him.

Given the degree to which the poison had invaded his body, as well as how much he valued his granddaughter Dugu Yan, he certainly would not give up any opportunity to cure himself and his granddaughter!

In that case, even if it cost him one or two Soul Bones, he would probably be willing.

After all, staying alive was what mattered most!

Even if Dugu Bo had lived long enough, he still had to think of his granddaughter.

Thus, Li Yu was certain that even if he said it, he would not be in any danger.

He was simply going to take Dugu Bo for all he was worth!

As for Qian Renxue.

If he could use this to win Dugu Bo over, Qian Renxue might even thank him. Why would she care about anything else?

And just as Li Yu had expected.

After hearing Li Yu's analysis and Dugu Bo's confirmation, Qian Renxue looked at Li Yu with more curiosity than anything else.

Clearly, she did not overly doubt Li Yu's identity.

Or rather, after bringing Li Yu back, they had already investigated him thoroughly.

But one thing was foreseeable.

Either they would find no trace of such a person, or System Bro had already filled in the gaps.

Li Yu believed it was more likely the latter, though he had not asked System Bro—

Even if he did, System Bro would not give him an answer.

But Qian Renxue's attitude toward him already revealed enough.

He had to be "clean."

"How I know is not important. What is important is this."

Li Yu stared solemnly at Dugu Bo. "I can help you solve it!"

"What!?"

Dugu Bo's body trembled at those words.

With the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, when he heard the seven words "I can help you solve it," even his mind trembled faintly.

He had endured the poison's corrosion for far too long, suffered its torment for far too long!

Despite possessing the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, every day felt as if he were watching the executioner's blade inch closer to him.

Every day, he faced death, possessing immense power yet having no solution at all.

That pain was suffocating, despairing!

But if that blade were only aimed at him, so be it. At his age, he truly had lived long enough.

But what about his granddaughter, Dugu Yan?

In an instant, mist filled Dugu Bo's eyes, as though he might burst into tears the next moment.

But then, his reason immediately returned.

His pressure erupted abruptly. Without giving Li Yu or Qian Renxue time to react, it bore down nakedly upon them both!

"Witch, do not think that a little beauty allows you to speak nonsense. Do you know the price of deceiving me!"

At last, Dugu Bo displayed the majesty of a Titled Douluo.

Nine Soul Rings rose one after another from beneath his feet, while a massive Jade Phosphorous Serpent silently appeared. Its two enormous eyes fixed relentlessly on Li Yu.

"Your Majesty!"

Qian Renxue was, after all, already close to becoming a Soul Saint, and she possessed a God-level Spirit like the Six-Winged Angel. She would not lose all ability to resist beneath such pressure.

The instant Dugu Bo's pressure descended, she raised a pale golden shield of light, protecting herself and Li Yu within it.

While dissatisfied with Dugu Bo's sudden attack.

Qian Renxue was also secretly alarmed. She understood that the poison inside Dugu Bo had likely tormented him for a very long time.

Otherwise, as a Titled Douluo, even if his secret had been exposed, he should not have lost his composure so badly before her, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou.

After all, though Dugu Bo was powerful, he still could not contend against the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Not to mention that Dugu Yan was still at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Likewise.

She was also somewhat worried.

With such severe poison, even Dugu Bo himself, who was deeply versed in poison, had found no solution. Could Li Yu, a Soul Master who had only just advanced to a Three-Ring Soul Grandmaster, really resolve it?

"Hmph!"

Seeing Qian Renxue act, Dugu Bo was surprised that she could withstand his pressure, but he withdrew it as well.

Yet his eyes remained fixed on Li Yu, who was drenched in fragrant sweat.

Clearly, he would not let this matter pass so easily.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Qian Renxue wanted to speak up for Li Yu and avert a fatal disaster.

At the same time, the hand behind her back was making gestures to Li Yu, signaling him to yield and admit his mistake.

But before she could speak, Qian Renxue suddenly froze.

The hand behind her back that had been making gestures was now clearly being held by a soft palm!

Li Yu's voice rang out at that moment.

And it sounded exceptionally alluring. "Whether I deceived you or not, wouldn't you know after trying?"

Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened, and uncertainty stirred in her heart.

Could it be... that Miss Li Yu truly could solve a poison even this Titled Douluo could not?

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and examined Li Yu for a long while. Seeing that Li Yu did not appear to be joking, he finally said flatly, "Fine, I'll give you a chance to try!"

After a pause, his tone changed. "But if you cannot solve it, do not blame me for showing no mercy!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo sat down right where he was.

He looked thoroughly like he was at Li Yu's disposal. Clearly, in order to resolve the poison within him, he no longer cared about the dignity of a Titled Douluo.

But seeing this, Li Yu merely shook his head slightly.

Then he smiled faintly. "Senior, as a Titled Douluo, could it be that you still want something for nothing?"

That smile was breathtakingly seductive.

Even Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned, but Dugu Bo could no longer remain seated.

Damn it, you killed my snake and absorbed its Soul Ring. Doesn't that count as payment?

And now you are saying I want something for nothing?

This is outrageous!

Thus, with several traces of anger in his voice, he said, "The Soul Ring you just absorbed came from a Soul Beast I raised!"
