Na'er, No, Other Women Aren't Allowed to Touch Chen Fan!

Chen Fan and Dugu Yan finally met again.

This time, Na'er was still by Chen Fan's side.

Meanwhile, beside Dugu Yan stood a young man whose face was still somewhat pale.

It was Yu Tianheng, who had only recently awakened.

The atmosphere between the two sides was not exactly harmonious, but it was no longer as tense and confrontational as it had been yesterday.

Yu Tianheng's gaze toward Chen Fan was rather complicated. There was unwillingness after his defeat, but even more than that, recognition of a strong opponent's strength.

He had already learned from Dugu Yan that Chen Fan had not come to steal anyone away, and that yesterday's conflict had been entirely a misunderstanding.

"Your strength is formidable." Yu Tianheng spoke first, breaking the silence. "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

Although Dugu Yan still harbored resentment over Yu Tianheng's injuries, seeing that he himself had taken such a stance, she could only keep a cold expression and remain silent.

Chen Fan nodded. Rather than dwelling on victory or defeat, he went straight to the point.

"I hope to meet your grandfather."

He looked at Dugu Yan, his tone sincere.

"We need something from his 'herb garden.'"

The so-called herb garden naturally referred to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, Dugu Yan might not know of such a place.

But Dugu Bo would definitely understand the moment he heard it.

Chen Fan was confident when he said this.

Stating his demand outright sounded somewhat shameless, but he knew very well that his ties to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were not something that could simply be severed.

He had brought such enormous benefits to the sect, yet he had never asked for anything in return.

When it truly came down to a critical moment, elders such as Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo would certainly stand behind him.

With such backing, he dared to directly negotiate with a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Yan looked thoroughly puzzled.

A herb garden?

She had never heard of her grandfather having one.

Her delicate brows furrowed as she countered, "Why should I help you?"

Chen Fan looked at her and finally revealed his most crucial bargaining chip.

"Because I can help the Dugu Family detoxify."

Chen Fan's gaze fell upon Dugu Yan's dark green pupils, colored by years of poison erosion, as he slowly said:

"As time passes, my detoxification ability will continue to improve."

"Right now, I can first help you remove the poison in your body."

For a moment, silence filled the pavilion.

In Dugu Yan's dark green eyes was reflected Chen Fan's calm face.

Detoxify?

Even her heartbeat seemed to skip half a beat.

As a Soul Master of the Dugu Family, her greatest fear had always been the poison within her body. Now...

This Soul Master from Xue Qinghe's faction claimed he could detoxify them?

Well... it was not impossible.

After all, the abilities Chen Fan had displayed earlier were already extraordinary. Having one more detoxification ability was reasonable enough.

Seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, Chen Fan added, "To determine the type of poison in your body and how much has accumulated, I may need to examine you at close range."

He reached out a hand, gesturing toward her wrist.

"No!"

A decisive voice rang out.

It was not Dugu Yan, but Yu Tianheng.

He stepped forward and shielded Dugu Yan behind him. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his gaze at Chen Fan was filled with vigilance and displeasure.

"She is my girlfriend."

Yu Tianheng's tone was heavy, carrying a hint of declaring his claim over her.

After yesterday's twists and turns, the layer of unspoken feelings between the two had been thoroughly laid bare. The misunderstanding had instead become a catalyst for their relationship. At this moment, he naturally could not tolerate any man approaching the woman he loved.

"If anyone is going to touch her, it should be me. Don't lay a hand on her."

His words were filled with undisguised possessiveness.

However, before he could finish speaking—

Smack!

A crisp slap suddenly rang out against the Stone Table.

Na'er shot to her feet.

The Maiden who had been quietly seated beside Chen Fan now had her pretty face drawn tight. In those beautiful Purple Eyes, two faint flames seemed to have ignited.

An imposing aura burst forth from her.

"Exactly!"

Na'er's voice trembled slightly, carrying boundless fury. "Chen Fan can only touch me. No one else is allowed to let him touch them!"

She had already been wary of this woman named Dugu Yan. Now that she heard words like "intimate contact," the string called "possessiveness" was instantly plucked to its limit.

The temperature throughout the pavilion seemed to drop several degrees.

Now it was Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

Why was this girl reacting even more strongly than Yu Tianheng?

And this logic... wasn't something wrong with it?

Dugu Yan had initially felt embarrassed and resistant at the thought of having a strange man examine her body. But when she saw Na'er looking as though she wanted to swallow her whole, those maidenly Thoughts immediately vanished without a trace.

She hurried forward and, somewhat at a loss, tugged at Na'er's sleeve as she explained with a helpless laugh, "Um... Little Sister Na'er, don't misunderstand. I really don't have any other feelings for Chen Fan."

"My heart belongs only to Tianheng, so don't worry!"

Yu Tianheng also came back to his senses and hurriedly chimed in, solemnly raising three fingers.

"Yes, yes, yes! I can testify! I'll handle the procedure!"

He looked anxiously at Na'er, afraid that this little fiend might start fighting again at the slightest disagreement. "Every step that requires touching Yanzi will be handled by me, I promise! I absolutely won't let Chen Fan touch her hand, much less anywhere else!"

Watching this absurd scene unfold before him, Chen Fan only felt a headache coming on.

He sighed helplessly, reached out to draw Na'er into his arms, and gently rubbed her hair.

The familiar soft touch brushed against his palm. Softening his voice, he leaned close to her ear and coaxed, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore."

"I'll listen to you. Tianheng will handle everything from start to finish. I'll just watch from a distance and only speak, not touch. Okay?"

The three of them surrounded Na'er, each speaking in a different tone as they tried to persuade her.

Only then did that murderous aura, which had nearly solidified into substance, slowly recede.

Na'er sat back down, but her Purple Eyes remained fixed on Chen Fan without blinking, like a little beast wary of every potential threat, fiercely guarding its treasure.

The preparations for the detoxification went exceptionally smoothly.

Chen Fan could now be considered a minor tycoon.

Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had made a fortune.

Money was the one thing he lacked least.

The medicinal herbs needed to remove the old Poison from Dugu Yan's body were not some divine or immortal treasures. After making the rounds of several of Heaven Dou City's largest apothecaries, he had bought everything he needed.

The location was ultimately set in the small courtyard where Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng usually trained.

The courtyard was not large, but it was tidy.

Several stone weights for training stood in one corner. A Stone Table and several stone stools sat in the yard, while bundles of dried herbs hung nearby, giving off a faint medicinal fragrance and lending the place an ordinary, lived-in warmth.

Chen Fan spread the herbs he had purchased across the Stone Table one by one.

He picked up the medicine pestle beside him. His fingers moved rapidly as he added different herbs into the mortar in precise proportions and began grinding them at high speed.
