Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison

Elsewhere, in Dugu Yan's private villa at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with doting affection and said, "Yanyan, what is it you wanted to tell Grandpa?"

"Grandpa, will my martial soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, cause its poison to affect my own body?" Dugu Yan asked directly.

Dugu Bo was startled when he heard that and asked, "Did something happen?"

Dugu Yan then told Dugu Bo about her symptoms. As Dugu Bo listened, his heart sank. He had not expected Dugu Yan to have discovered her problem already, and he did not know how to answer. Was he supposed to tell her the truth?

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Dugu Yan's heart also sank. "Grandpa, does my martial soul really poison me?"

Dugu Bo did not know how to comfort her. After all, he himself had long suffered from the deadly poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. He said seriously, "Yanyan, don't worry. The poison in you is not deep yet. Grandpa will find a way to cure you."

"Grandpa, have you been poisoned too?" Dugu Yan asked solemnly. "Was Father killed by the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's poison back then?"

Dugu Bo knew that once Dugu Yan had discovered the poison backlash from her martial soul, he could no longer keep this hidden. He sighed. "Yes. Your father died because his Soul Power could not suppress the deadly poison in his body. That is how our bloodline is. I just never expected the poison backlash to come so early for you."

"But don't worry, Yanyan. Grandpa will never let your father's tragedy happen to you again. I will definitely find a way to detoxify you."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt terrible. So this was the true reason her father had died. The fear in her heart multiplied several times over. Would she truly suffer and die from the poison's backlash as well?

"Then, Grandpa, are you suffering from the poison's torment every day too?" Dugu Yan recalled Zhao Zilong's words. As one aged and their Soul Power increased, the poison within their body would grow ever more potent. What about her grandfather? He was already a Titled Douluo. The poison in his body must have reached an astonishing level.

Dugu Bo smiled as he listened. "It's all right, Yanyan. Your grandpa is a Titled Douluo. Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison cannot kill me."

After confirming it, Dugu Yan immediately said, "Grandpa, I know someone who might be able to help us detoxify ourselves. He was the one who discovered that I had been poisoned. If he had not told me, I still would not know that I was poisoned!"

Dugu Bo frowned deeply. He could not even cure the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison in his own body. Could someone else possibly cure it? "You mean someone else told you about this?"

"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded, somewhat excited. "He is one of the Shrek Academy students who came today. Although he is very young, his strength is monstrously powerful. Even Tian Heng is no match for him."

"What?" Dugu Bo immediately recalled Zhao Zilong, whom he had encountered in the administration office.

"Grandpa, wait here. I'll go find him right now." With that, Dugu Yan ran out at once.

Watching Dugu Yan leave, Dugu Bo found it difficult to suppress his excitement. Though the chances were slim, as long as there was a possibility of curing Dugu Yan's poison, he was willing to take a gamble. He secretly followed behind her.

Before long, Dugu Yan found Teacher Qin Yin and asked, "Teacher Qin, do you know where the people from Shrek are?"

"Shrek? Why are you looking for them?" Qin Yin asked doubtfully.

"I'm looking for the person called Blue Silver Emperor from the Shrek Battle Team." Dugu Yan was somewhat embarrassed, since she did not know his real name and could only call him by his alias.

"Oh, Blue Silver Emperor? His name is Zhao Zilong. Why are you looking for him?" Qin Yin answered calmly. However, seeing Dugu Yan's anxious expression, he added, "The three Committee Members have temporarily arranged for them to stay at a residence in Zone Nine. What do you need him for?"

"Zone Nine? Thank you, Teacher Qin." Without explaining further, Dugu Yan hurried off.

After arriving in Zone Nine, she found several residences there. It took her quite some effort before she finally located Shrek Academy's residence.

At that moment, Dugu Yan spotted the Shrek Battle Team in a pavilion. She immediately picked out Zhao Zilong and hurried over, calling, "Zhao Zilong!"

The seven members of Shrek all turned to look. Seeing the young woman before them, Dai Mubai said in surprise, "I remember you. You're Dugu Yan from the Imperial Fighting Team, right?"

"Hello." Dugu Yan greeted the Shrek group, then said to Zhao Zilong, "Zhao Zilong, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Ma Hongjun immediately sounded jealous. "Brother Long, you really are blessed with women. You already have Sister Yiran, yet you can still hook another girl. Meanwhile, this poor brother is still single!"

Meng Yiran immediately glared at Zhao Zilong with a murderous expression and asked unhappily, "Zilong, what is your relationship with her?"

"Listen to that question. What kind of relationship do you think I could have with her?" Zhao Zilong asked in return.

Meng Yiran gave a delicate snort. She looked at Dugu Yan with some hostility and asked, "What do you want?"

Dugu Yan had no favorable impression of Meng Yiran. She already had someone she liked. You might treasure Zhao Zilong, but others would not necessarily see him as a treasure. She said bluntly, "I came to see him. It has nothing to do with you."

"You... Zilong has to stay with me. He has no time to go with you." With that, Meng Yiran wrapped her arms around Zhao Zilong's arm and refused to let go.

Zhao Zilong was somewhat helpless. Meng Yiran was good in every way, but her possessiveness was too strong. Perhaps that was simply a woman's nature. He said, "Dugu Yan, what do you need from me?"

Dugu Yan explained, "It's about what you told me last time—my martial soul problem. My grandfather wants to meet you."

So, we were finally going to meet? Zhao Zilong was extremely excited inside.

But Meng Yiran felt a sense of crisis. Her parents had died early, leaving her naturally lacking in security since childhood. On top of that, her boyfriend was so talented and outstanding. She absolutely could not let someone else take him away.

She stepped directly in front of Zhao Zilong, looking like a clingy little woman. "No. You're not allowed to go."

Zhao Zilong was instantly speechless. Yet he could not act as though he desperately wanted to go, so he could only comply. "All right. If you say I'm not going, then I won't go."

Meng Yiran was delighted upon hearing that. Then she turned to Dugu Yan with an overbearing expression. "All right, you can leave now."

"You..." Dugu Yan was angered by this. She immediately invoked her grandfather. "Zhao Zilong, my grandfather is the one who wants to see you. Don't be ungrateful. Otherwise, when my grandfather comes personally, he won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

"Damn, are you threatening me? Is that how you ask someone for help?" Zhao Zilong's eye twitched. Her attitude when asking for help was far too awful.

Dugu Bo, hidden in the shadows, was also left speechless. His granddaughter was far too reckless. She had completely ruined the conversation with just a few words.
