Giving This to Him Would Be No Different from Feeding a Pig

Shi Yueyi had visited Sunset Forest ten thousand years later and knew there was a Poison Array here, seemingly concealing something.

For one thing, she had heard that the Shrek Seven Gods had undergone earth-shaking changes after arriving in Heaven Dou City. This was even recorded in some folk books in Heaven Soul and the Dou Ling Empire.

It could not be helped. As the victorious side, with Tang San himself serving as Imperial Tutor, the Heaven Dou Empire naturally had to make a grand spectacle of it to bolster its national prestige.

"The Dai and Zhu families of the Star Luo Empire are both brothers of the Imperial Tutor. They all have to listen to King Lan Hao!" That was what they said at the time.

Therefore, Shi Yueyi believed that the Shrek Seven Gods must have obtained some tremendous opportunity here. Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which found it difficult to break through to Soul Douluo, had become the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

No matter how they concealed it, Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolution was an indisputable fact.

Even the sect's name had changed.

On the other hand, Shi Yueyi came from the Sun Moon Empire.

There was a problem with soul master cultivation in that nation. Most people relied on pills to raise their cultivation, in order to better use Soul Tools.

Over time, a legend began to spread in the Sun Moon Empire: the reason the Shrek Seven Gods had soared to greatness was because they had been aided by immortal herbs. Yet the finest supplements excavated by the Sun Moon Empire could only be called rare treasures.

As time passed, Shi Yueyi boldly guessed that this forest she had once investigated, this Poison Array, had to be hiding some secret.

She was simply far too curious.

Now that she had come ten thousand years into the past, there was no way she could let this place go without investigating it.

"Fine. Let's go in and take a look." Qian Renxue nodded.

At this moment, what surrounded them was not the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolutes Flower from ten thousand years later, but a Poison Array set up by Dugu Bo himself.

It was useless against Qian Renxue, who possessed True Sunfire.

However, she was currently disguising herself with a Swan Martial Soul.

It might not work on Stingray Douluo either.

Thus, Stingray Douluo protected Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi as they swiftly passed through the Poison Array and arrived before the wooden hut where Dugu Bo usually lived.

"I remember that Poison Douluo comes here regularly to suppress the toxins in his body. I just don't know how he does it." Qian Renxue spoke while tasting the loving little lunchbox Shi Yueyi had prepared for her.

"Eat slowly. If it gets cold, do you want to heat it up?" Shi Yueyi kindly asked. "I see there are pots, bowls, and ladles here that Poison Douluo uses to brew medicinal herbs."

"No, no, no." Stingray Douluo hurriedly said, "Who knows whether the things that old poison freak used to refine herbs have been contaminated with some strange toxin?"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. "Senior Stingray, go examine those utensils."

Stingray Douluo understood immediately and nodded solemnly.

On the surface, Xue Qinghe had spared Xue Beng, but that was also because Prince Xue Xing stood behind Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing was on good terms with Dugu Bo.

What if that arrogant and overbearing fourth brother suddenly went mad and had Poison Douluo poison her?

That would be perfectly reasonable.

Although once Qian Renxue reached Soul Sage, she would no longer fear a Titled Douluo's toxins with her complete Angel Martial Soul.

She needed to make the act more convincing.

"Brother Xue, tell me about what goes on in the imperial palace." Shi Yueyi asked from the side, propping her cheeks up with both hands.

They had lit a small campfire, its flames flickering brightly.

"Nothing much. I just run around all day, dealing with all sorts of relationships." Qian Renxue swallowed a mouthful of food.

"Relationships?"

"Mm." Qian Renxue nodded, then went on to explain a pile of things Shi Yueyi had never encountered.

Shi Yueyi had always only been an assassin. She was not really interested in the royal family's internal scheming. It was not as if she had never heard of court struggles in the Sun Moon Empire—for instance, Xu Tianran had one of his own younger brothers killed, leaving blood flowing all over the room.

Just as Qian Renxue had previously guessed, Shi Yueyi's understanding of interpersonal relationships was simple, crude, and shallow. Whoever treated her well, she treated well in return.

"Did you understand? Boring, right?" Qian Renxue said helplessly.

"I forgot the beginning, and I forgot the middle." Shi Yueyi smacked her lips. "Anyway, the final conclusion is that it wasn't easy for you to gain your current position."

Just then, Stingray Douluo returned with a grave expression.

"Uncle Cixue, did you find something?" Qian Renxue set down her lunchbox.

"Your Highness, among the residue of some medicines, I found one of the herbs we have been searching for." He spread open his palm. "This herb is called the Primordial Immortal Herb, and it can be considered Immortal Grade. Yet Poison Douluo apparently has no idea how to consume it and just stews it randomly in an iron pot..."

"Immortal Grade?" Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened.

"You mean the herbs Dugu Bo uses to suppress his toxins may be like Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul?"

Stingray Douluo nodded gravely.

Shi Yueyi slapped her thigh. "Doesn't that mean we've found a treasure trove?"

"Hey—" Qian Renxue frowned. "Watch where you're hitting!"

Don't slap around carelessly. What if you discover I'm not a man? That would be a disaster.

"Ah, sorry, Brother Xue..." Shi Yueyi gave an embarrassed smile. "What I mean is, according to Senior Stingray, isn't it a terrible waste for Poison Douluo to occupy this place? Giving something this good to him feels no different from feeding a pig."

Poison Douluo: You're the pig!

"But I don't seem to sense the aura of any herbs around here." Stingray Douluo frowned.

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue closed her eyes.

Before long, she opened them and looked into the distance. "Over there!"

"I seem to sense an extreme heat over there, along with an icy chill. This is a Yin-Yang Confluence formation. Perhaps Poison Douluo's herb garden is over there!"
