The Mutation of the Devouring Fang—What's So Difficult About That?

"Damn it!"

Qian Renxue snapped back to her senses and stamped her feet in fury.

Her wife had been snatched away by an old man, who had even declared that he would take good care of her!

If word of this got out, what would people think?

Would she have any dignity left?!

Yet no matter how indignant she was, she could no longer change the outcome.

In fact, the instant Dugu Bo took Li Yu away, she had already used her methods to trace their whereabouts.

But she still found nothing.

It was as though neither of them existed.

Dugu Bo was, after all, a Titled Douluo, and he had always been exceedingly cautious about his secluded residence.

Thus, despite Qian Renxue's endless methods, she still failed to uncover any useful information.

After venting for a while, she did not leave.

If she went back so dejectedly, would that not make her a laughingstock?

So, she simply wandered through Sunset Forest, treating it as training.

A wave of dizziness struck him, and Li Yu felt as though he were soaring through clouds and mist.

Unfortunately, his strength was still too low for him to sense his present circumstances.

By the time the dizziness faded and his vision returned—

He was already inside a karst cave.

A faint mist lingered within the cave, making it seem almost like a fairyland.

Yet the subtle scent of sulfur permeating the air made Li Yu's brows furrow.

Then they relaxed again.

Everything he sensed now resembled Xiao Sanzi's experience in the storybooks!

He instantly realized that Dugu Bo had brought him to a cave near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

And this was precisely one of the reasons he had pointed out that Dugu Bo's body had long been ravaged by Poison.

There were many rare Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If he obtained them, they would surely greatly raise his Soul Power Level.

Although he now possessed the Devouring Fang, that did not mean he could only increase his Soul Power by absorbing Poison.

Being able to use Immortal Herbs was naturally the best and fastest option.

Moreover, according to Xiao Sanzi, these Immortal Herbs could improve one's innate physique. Even Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved because of them.

Naturally, he coveted them as well.

As for the claim that one person could only consume one herb—

He did not believe it, nor did he care.

As long as it could increase his strength, why should he care about anything else?

But it was still too early to think about that. After all, he had not even caught sight of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well yet.

As he looked around—

There was no sign of Dugu Bo either.

That old man had actually thrown him here alone and ignored him!

But Li Yu did not care.

A Titled Douluo had some airs about him—it was understandable.

After observing the surroundings once more, he turned his attention to himself.

He raised his right hand and circulated a trace of Soul Power.

Two fang-shaped marks abruptly appeared on the nails of his index and middle fingers.

With a thought—

Two white fangs emerged and detached from his nails.

They then quietly hovered in the air at Li Yu's command.

Like two flying daggers.

Without question, these were the Devouring Fangs he had just acquired, which had evolved into a Soul Bone under the influence of System Bro.

However—

Perhaps because it had advanced from a semi-finished product, or perhaps because of System Bro's influence, the Devouring Fangs had undergone a mutation.

Though they were an External Soul Bone, they did not attach themselves to Li Yu's teeth as he had subconsciously imagined.

Instead, like weapons, they could not only leave his body but had also been directly imprinted upon his fingernails.

Wasn't this far better than any Hidden Weapon?

Naturally, this suited Li Yu's wishes even better.

After all—

The reason he had claimed he could cure Dugu Bo's condition was the Devouring Fang's "devouring" ability.

If the Devouring Fang had not mutated, then when he absorbed the Poison from Dugu Bo's body, would he not have to lift Miss Li Yu's beautiful face and bite Dugu Bo?

Hiss.

Just imagining it made Li Yu's skin crawl.

It was like encountering some horrifyingly bizarre thing.

My body belongs to Qian Renxue. No one else—especially no man—can even think about it!

Li Yu shuddered and muttered to himself.

"What is that?"

At that moment, Dugu Bo's somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

Li Yu was startled.

Turning around, he saw that Dugu Bo had unusually removed his emerald-green armor and changed into loose, casual clothing.

The mixed scents of countless poisons on his body finally spread without restraint.

Li Yu grasped the Devouring Fangs in his hand and did not explain.

So what if he was a Titled Douluo? Did that mean others were not allowed to have their own secrets?

Even if this "secret" had come from a snake he had raised.

It was still a "secret."

"The poisonous aura around you is extremely mixed, Senior. The kinds of poisons you use far exceed my expectations!"

With a solemn expression, Li Yu analyzed seriously, "If we want to resolve the toxins that have long seeped into your body, we must first remove these 'external' substances!"

Upon hearing this—

Dugu Bo's attention was immediately diverted. Compared to Li Yu's "toy," he cared more about his own body.

"It seems this old man has only made trouble for himself!"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and found Li Yu's words reasonable. He immediately gave a bitter laugh.

Had he known that his previous method of "using Poison to fight Poison" would affect the final "detoxification"—

He would never have chosen that path.

However, he was already a Titled Douluo, so his temperament was naturally not so fragile.

After laughing bitterly, his gaze fell upon Li Yu again. "Can you resolve it?"

Dugu Bo himself was well-versed in the art of Poison.

Naturally, he knew how difficult it would be to remove those mixed toxins.

But since Li Yu had declared that he could solve his problem, and Dugu Bo had already decided to let Li Yu do it—

He naturally would not underestimate him.

Of course, the mixed toxins "outside" his body could also serve as a test for Li Yu.

If Li Yu could not even resolve the Poison "outside" his body, then there was no need to try treating what was "inside."

At that thought—

Dugu Bo's gaze toward Li Yu gained more scrutiny, as well as anticipation.

At the same time—

Li Yu, whom he had expected to appear troubled and reluctant, did not hesitate in the slightest. He spoke in an exceptionally relaxed tone:

"What's so difficult about that? It will only take a little time."

"W-What?"

Dugu Bo looked at Li Yu in surprise.

There was not the slightest hint of pretense in Li Yu's ease.

For a moment, Dugu Bo became uncertain again.

After all, even if he himself tried to neutralize the poisons "outside" his body, he had little confidence that he could completely remove them.

Yet Li Yu had declared that it was not difficult and would only take some time?

How could he possibly believe that!

It was simply absurd!

His thoughts churned, but Li Yu did not care.

With his long legs, he walked over to a clean boulder and sat down cross-legged. Calmly pointing ahead, he fixed his gaze on Dugu Bo.

"Your Excellency, please!"
