At this moment, Dugu Bo was no longer a deadly venomous snake in Fang Xuan's eyes, but a fat sheep waiting to be fleeced!

Fang Xuan's eyes gleamed.

As long as he seized this opportunity, he could not only obtain the heavenly treasures Dugu Bo had collected, but also talk a Title Douluo into becoming his bodyguard. This was an enormous stroke of luck!

"You can cure my poison?!"

Dugu Bo frowned and scrutinized the solemn-looking Fang Xuan suspiciously.

Even he could not cure the Deadly Poison in his own body. Could this wet-behind-the-ears brat really cure him just by running his mouth? He found it hard to believe!

"I know a Divine Doctor whose medical skills are miraculous and peerless. He can bring the dead back to life and cure any illness with a single dose of medicine. There isn't a disease in this world that he cannot treat," Fang Xuan said smoothly.

"Such a person exists? Who is this Divine Doctor?!"

"The world's greatest Divine Doctor is—me!!"

Dugu Bo: "..."

He had the urge to slap Fang Xuan to death. This kid was really bragging without even bothering to think it through.

"You don't believe me? But it's the truth. Other than me, no one on the entire Douluo Continent can cure you!" Fang Xuan said.

"Uh... Hahahaha!"

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

If he was going to bluff, he might as well make it huge!

No matter what Fang Xuan said, this shrewd old monster would never believe him easily. He might as well brag to the heavens.

"Old monster, want proof of my words? Let me borrow your granddaughter for a moment?!"

As he watched Dugu Yan, who had just entered the cave and was walking toward him with an unfriendly expression, Fang Xuan's lips slowly curved into a dangerous smile.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan froze on the spot. Her eyes blazed as she glared at Fang Xuan and snapped furiously, "Bastard Fang Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting now?!"

"Watch your words, brat. If you dare disrespect my Yanyan again, don't blame me for making sure you die without a burial place," Dugu Bo said coldly.

Fang Xuan snorted indifferently. "Do as you please. But if you kill me, no one in this world will be able to cure the poison in either you or your granddaughter. Before long, you'll both be buried with me."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted unpredictably as though he were weighing the gains and losses.

"What poison? Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Dugu Yan looked completely confused. She eyed Fang Xuan warily, her gaze gradually sharpening. "A sinister, cunning, despicable, shameless guy like him is full of bad intentions. Not a single word out of his mouth is true. Grandpa, don't let this bad guy fool you."

"Miss Dugu, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to slander me like this? Have you forgotten? Just last night, beneath the flowers and moonlight, we talked about life..." Fang Xuan said.

"Wh-who... who talked beneath the flowers and moonlight with you?!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and glared at Fang Xuan furiously.

He had clearly been telling ghost stories to scare her. Why was he acting as if they had spent a romantic night together?

"Oh? You really are forgetful. I remember you were so moved that you fainted."

"I fainted from fright!!"

Dugu Yan was enraged. Looking toward the contemplative Dugu Bo, she said, "Grandpa, hand this bastard over to me. I'll poison him to death with my Jade Scale Snake Poison!"

"Heh..."

Fang Xuan sneered. "Your grandfather's poison is trash, and your poison is even worse—trash among trash. Why don't you try it? I'll stand right here without dodging or avoiding it. Let's see whether your Jade Scale Snake Poison can hurt me!"

"You bastard, you're infuriating me! Today, I'll let you taste the power of my snake venom!"

Dugu Yan stomped her foot in anger. Seeing that her grandfather was still silent, she could not help calling out petulantly, "Grandpa~!"

A faint gleam flickered in Fang Xuan's eyes as he quietly observed the changes in Dugu Bo's expression.

He had deliberately provoked Dugu Yan because he wanted to use her to prove his abilities and win Dugu Bo's trust. If he could not even withstand Dugu Yan's poison, Dugu Bo would probably realize at once that Fang Xuan had been deceiving him and kill him in fury.

Conversely, if he could withstand Dugu Yan's poison, he could further earn Dugu Bo's trust!

After a long silence, Dugu Bo finally spoke faintly. "Fine..."

"Brat, if you can endure Yanyan's Jade Scale Snake Poison, I'll temporarily believe what you said earlier. If you cannot endure it, then sorry—you'll die here."

His words were filled with killing intent and naked threat.

Yet upon hearing this icy threat, Fang Xuan felt no fear at all. Instead, he secretly rejoiced. This was exactly what he wanted.

Dugu Yan had long found Fang Xuan unpleasant to look at. Now that she had finally caught an opportunity, she could give him a good lesson.

The girl rolled up her sleeves embroidered with golden thread and walked lightly to Fang Xuan's side. One hand rested on her slender waist while the other curled a lock of purple hair. Her narrow eyes carried a dangerous glint as they settled quietly on Fang Xuan.

"Bastard Fang Xuan, prepare to die," Dugu Yan said coldly.

"I hope your snake venom is at least interesting. Don't let it tickle me like last time!" Fang Xuan said calmly.

"Hmph, fool who doesn't know his own limits, die!"

With a sharp cry, a green Jade Scale Snake emerged from Dugu Yan's body. Its emerald eyes locked onto Fang Xuan, and it opened its gaping maw to spew a cloud of purple poison at him.

This was Jade Scale Snake Poison, incomparably toxic. Even a Four-Ring Soul Sect Master would immediately suffer a fatal poison attack if struck head-on by this snake venom. Dugu Yan had absolute confidence that she could poison Fang Xuan to death!

The oncoming purple poisonous mist swiftly enveloped Fang Xuan, continuously eroding his body.

After inhaling only a single breath of Jade Scale Snake Poison, Fang Xuan's lungs felt as though they had been pierced by needles. Every inch of his muscles ached. His fair face rapidly turned purple-black, dark circles appeared around his eyes, and even his body began to sway, as though he might collapse at any moment.

These were the signs of being poisoned!

"Haha, Fang Xuan, you've been poisoned by my Jade Scale Snake Poison. Just wait slowly for death!" Dugu Yan laughed smugly, convinced that Fang Xuan was doomed.

At that moment, a shout rang out from the depths of Fang Xuan's heart.

"Nine Heart Begonia..."

Within his Dantian, the pure white and flawless Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul began to bloom gently. Waves of sacred, tranquil milky-white Soul Power spread outward and flowed swiftly through Fang Xuan's meridians.

When the Jade Scale Snake Poison that had invaded Fang Xuan's body encountered the healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia, it scattered like mice seeing a cat.

At that moment, the Nine Heart Begonia erupted with powerful detoxifying power, continuously dispelling the snake venom in Fang Xuan's body and cleansing his limbs and bones!

Before long, all the snake venom throughout Fang Xuan's body had been completely cleared away. The pain of the Deadly Poison entering his body gradually vanished, and his complexion returned to normal.

A faint smile rose on his lips as he calmly watched Dugu Yan. "Sorry, I've disappointed you again..."
