Dugu Bo's Pregnant Daughter-in-Law

"Poison Douluo, please calm down and hear me out. You can decide whether to discuss things with me in detail afterward."

Qian Yunxiao appeared exceedingly patient.

"I know exactly what hidden dangers your body—and even your descendants cultivating your poison arts—will face. I even have a solution already. It just depends on whether Poison Douluo is willing to make this deal with me."

To strike a snake, strike it seven inches from the head.

Qian Yunxiao knew perfectly well where the weakness of that old poisonous snake, Dugu Bo, lay.

One sentence was enough to silence Dugu Bo.

"Fine. I would like to see what brilliant insight Second Highness has!"

In the end, Dugu Bo agreed to Qian Yunxiao's request.

He had no choice. His poison arts were indeed powerful, but they were equally deadly.

If this problem was not resolved, the Dugu family would have no future! That was why Dugu Bo had to take the gamble! He did not believe Qian Yunxiao could truly kill him.

His strength might not be enough to do anything to Qian Yunxiao.

But Qian Yunxiao had brought along two children and two women. Dugu Bo was confident he could drag them down with him!

Seeing Dugu Bo agree to speak privately with Qian Yunxiao, Ning Fengzhi felt somewhat worried.

He feared that Dugu Bo would be won over by Qian Yunxiao.

Wouldn't that mean the Heaven Dou Empire would lose another combatant nearly equivalent to a Titled Douluo? Originally, they had not worried about Dugu Bo being recruited by Spirit Hall, since Spirit Hall did not think highly of poison users like him.

But now, Qian Yunxiao had even gotten involved with soul beasts.

Recruiting Dugu Bo was no longer impossible.

In front of Qian Yunxiao and Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi could not say much.

He could only discuss the matter properly with the others afterward.

With Dugu Bo leading the way, entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well posed no difficulty for Qian Yunxiao.

"Why do I feel like... there seems to be something here that is very attractive to me?"

After entering the range of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Ice Empress felt it.

For some reason, her intuition told her... that there was something here that would be extremely, extremely useful to her.

She simply did not know where that thing was.

Hearing the Ice Empress's words, Qian Yunxiao roughly understood what she meant.

It was most likely a treasure left behind by those two Dragon Kings.

After all, they were remains nearly on the level of First-Rank Gods. Their importance to a soul beast like the Ice Empress went without saying.

Qian Yunxiao roughly knew where this item was.

If nothing unexpected happened, he could use it to completely win over the Ice Empress.

But not now! Ah Yin, Shui Youlan, and Qing Wu were also marveling at the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

They all admired Qian Yunxiao's eye for choosing such a blessed place of excellent feng shui! "Oh? Poison Douluo, is this your daughter-in-law?"

The moment he entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Yunxiao saw a woman.

A woman with a large pregnant belly.

Her blue hair made her appear especially bright and gentle, and she truly possessed a broad and open heart.

Unfortunately, she was only a ★★★ female character.

Yes, merely three stars.

She was a minor beauty, but she had not made the Beauty Ranking, which left Qian Yunxiao somewhat regretful.

Dugu Bo's wife had died after giving birth to his son, Dugu Xin.

Clearly, this was Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law!

"Mhm."

Dugu Bo nodded with an indifferent expression.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How pitiful. Poison has already seeped into your body. I fear that, like your wife, you will have to leave this world not long after giving birth."

Looking at this minor beauty, Qian Yunxiao kept shaking his head, feeling sorry for her.

After hearing Qian Yunxiao's words, Du Yan felt somewhat afraid.

But when she had made up her mind to follow Dugu Xin, she had already prepared herself for this possibility.

"Second Highness, please examine my son first. His body is riddled with poison, and I need to constantly use poison against poison to suppress it."

Compared to this daughter-in-law, Dugu Bo cared more about his son.

Ever since childhood, he had felt that he owed him, having caused him to be born an incomplete child.

Now, Dugu Bo wanted to find a way to make up for it.

"Simple. Just follow my method. Prepare two soul bones, and then..."

Qian Yunxiao laid out his plan.

Dugu Bo was doubtful, and finally asked, "Are you sure?"

As for soul bones... they were not too difficult for Dugu Bo to obtain.

"This will be slow going. Once you have everything prepared, I will naturally have further arrangements."

Qian Yunxiao's answer was very straightforward.

Dugu Bo considered it for a while before finally deciding to visit Heaven Dou Imperial City.

"Miss, may I ask your name?"

After Dugu Bo left, Qian Yunxiao asked Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law.

After all, they might end up living under the same roof in the future, so they certainly needed to get to know one another.

Of course, do not misunderstand.

When Qian Yunxiao said living under the same roof, he did not mean doing anything improper.

Dugu Bo could continue living at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future.

Qian Yunxiao lived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as well.

Would that not mean they were living under the same roof? "Du Yan."

Compared to Dugu Bo's son, Qian Yunxiao's looks utterly crushed him.

With that smile on his face, Qian Yunxiao was an incomparably handsome man whom ordinary women simply could not resist.

Women, especially married women, naturally had to keep their distance from men other than their husbands.

Yet before Qian Yunxiao, Du Yan had no resistance at all and obediently gave him her name.

Her husband was still lying in bed.

As time passed, Dugu Bo's method of fighting poison with poison became less and less effective.

As for Dugu Xin... he did not have long to live.

In the original timeline, Dugu Xin had been poisoned to death the moment Dugu Bo broke through to become a Titled Douluo.

"Mm, please take care of me in the future...!"

Du Yan's martial soul was the Heavenly Scale Poisonous Scorpion, also a venom-type martial soul.

At this moment, Qian Yunxiao was thinking.

What would it feel like to experience someone like Dugu Yan, whose entire body was laden with deadly poison?

To be honest, Qian Yunxiao was truly looking forward to it.

"Miss Du, since we have met, I will carefully study this over the next while and do my best to ensure that you can remain safe and sound."

Qian Yunxiao was a kind man.

Could he simply stand by and watch such an innocent little beauty perish?

No!

Besides, Dugu Bo's household was so wealthy.

There was no harm in Qian Yunxiao lending them a little help.

After all, Du Yan was Dugu Yan's mother.

She could even be considered Qian Yunxiao's... future mother-in-law?

It would not hurt to treat her well.

"Thank you, Second Highness."

Du Yan did not actually hold much hope in her heart.

Still, since Qian Yunxiao had said so, she naturally had to thank him.

Qian Yunxiao did not speak much more with Du Yan.

After all, he had only just arrived; if he chatted with someone else's daughter-in-law for too long, Dugu Bo would surely have objections.

After exchanging a few casual words, Qian Yunxiao took Ah Yin and Shui Youlan to look at the Immortal Herbs.
