A Chance Encounter with Dugu Bo

Yu Xiaogang saw this and only felt exhausted.

He had just dealt with your father, and now he had to comfort you.

He patiently said in an even tone, "Xiao San, Xiao Wu was taken away by her family."

Tang San seemed to suffer a heavy blow. His expression darkened as he muttered, "Then can I still see her again?"

Yu Xiaogang crouched down, held Tang San's shoulders, and looked straight into his eyes. "Of course. As long as you become strong enough, you can still see Xiao Wu."

That's right. As long as I'm strong enough, I'll definitely bring Xiao Wu back.

Tang San thought to himself. His dejected mood instantly vanished, and he looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked,

"Teacher, do you know the name of Xiao Wu's family?"

"Uh..." Yu Xiaogang only wanted to curse. Tang Hao had not told him either.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head and thought for a moment. Finally, under Tang San's increasingly dangerous gaze, he said,

"Xiao Wu's family... I cannot tell you yet. Only when your strength reaches Soul Saint can I tell you."

Hearing this, Tang San fell silent, believing Yu Xiaogang was truly acting for his sake.

Tang San had originally thought Yu Xiaogang was preventing him from reuniting with Xiao Wu and had wanted to send Yu Xiaogang down the path to death, but his mindset changed once more.

The teacher before him, whose face had nearly become twisted with malice, once again became kind and caring.

Completely unaware of this, Yu Xiaogang luckily escaped another disaster.

Meanwhile, in Parallel World One.

After the girls had cleaned her up, Zhang Lexuan appeared once more, transformed from a ragged refugee into a little princess again.

At that moment, she once again felt the warmth of the world. The older sisters around her felt as kind and close as mothers.

However, given the current situation, it was unrealistic to continue traveling across the continent with two children.

In the end, everyone decided to return to their respective homes.

Ah Yin planned to return to the Star Dou Great Forest with Ah Rou and bring Xiao Wu along to continue her education.

Wu Xian planned to return to Spirit Hall with Bibi Dong, recommend Zhang Lexuan for admission into Spirit Hall, and take a look at the younger version of Yu Xiaogang.

Of course, before that, he would first send Er Ming back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Liu Erlong was worried about her mother and planned to return first to check on her.

If her mother was well, she would go to Spirit City to find Wu Xian, Bibi Dong, and the others.

She also wanted to see Yu Xiaogang, the man whom myself from another world had insisted on being with even at the cost of proposing a spiritual romance.

Three days later, at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After bidding farewell to Ah Yin and Ah Rou, Wu Xian climbed into the now-empty carriage and set off once more.

Before leaving, Wu Xian had made an agreement with Ah Yin.

"When I return to my own world, I'll come find you again. Then I'll take you to see your... ahem, seed."

Even someone as gentle as Ah Yin could not help but have her face twitch when she heard this again.

Even after so long, she still could not quite hold it together over what myself from another world had done.

On the return journey, with none of the previous trivial matters to deal with, Wu Xian was in no hurry to reach Spirit Hall.

He drove the carriage twenty li a day, inching forward at an unhurried pace.

While cultivating, he also took in the scenery along the way.

One day, as his carriage traveled onward, a green figure suddenly fell from the sky with a splat.

At first, Wu Xian thought he had encountered someone trying to scam him, but after waiting for a while, the green figure did not approach the carriage.

He only saw the man lying prone on the ground, his body trembling slightly against his will as though he were suppressing something.

Coupled with that head full of green, Wu Xian suddenly realized that this could not possibly be Dugu Bo, could it?

He walked over, turned the man over, and studied his face, but ultimately could not make anything out.

However, the man's complexion was somewhat green, and his fingernails were purple. They did indeed look like signs of poisoning.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Xian ultimately decided to save him.

He did not particularly care about the friendship of a future Titled Douluo.

But Wu Xian cared greatly about the points he would gain from saving his life.

He grabbed Dugu Bo, tossed him into the carriage, and resumed his journey.

As he traveled, he studied the antidote formula and the Soul Core Method he had exchanged from the Chat Group.

The antidote formula could remove the poison that had seeped deep into Dugu Bo's organs, bones, and marrow.

The Soul Core Method could allow Dugu Bo to condense a Poison Soul Core, completely resolving the drawback of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul poisoning its own wielder.

With the Soul Core Method, every Jade Phosphor Serpent Soul Master whose strength reached Soul Saint could attempt to condense a Poison Soul Core and eliminate the harm caused to themselves by Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

This would be an enormous change, one that would completely resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent's flaw and allow the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul to be passed down forever.

Wu Xian did not even dare imagine how many points this would earn him.

After traveling for a while longer, Dugu Bo finally endured the poison's assault amid the carriage's jolting and slowly opened his eyes.

When he discovered that he was lying in a carriage, he felt relieved that someone had saved him.

Fortunately, at the final moment, he had exhausted all his strength and barely avoided falling into the Star Dou Great Forest.

His luck had been good enough to preserve his life.

He lifted the carriage curtain, intending to meet his savior.

Yet what entered his sight was a child only a few years old, calmly driving the carriage.

The sight left Dugu Bo somewhat astonished. Could the child before him really be the one who had saved him?

He stuck his head out of the carriage and looked around, but saw no one else.

It seemed that the child before him had indeed saved his life.

To be safe, he still decided to ask, "Hey, brat, was it you who saved this old man?"

Hearing this, Wu Xian turned around and gave him a once-over before replying word by word, "Old man, is that the attitude you take toward your lifesaver? No manners."

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, good, good, good! This old man was rude. I am Dugu Bo. Thank you, little friend, for saving my life."

Dugu Bo was not angry. He only found it amusing.

Wu Xian's words suited his taste perfectly.

With Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison in his body, he could die at any moment.

If he did not still have a son and a granddaughter at home, he would have shown anyone who offended him exactly what it meant to have a head of iron.

Dugu Bo's situation was actually similar to that of an Emperor-to-be nearing death, except his strength was far inferior.

The only thing he needed to worry about was that he still had descendants.

If another buff were added and both his son and granddaughter died from poison,

then he would become a truly invincible man—an invincible man who was also about to die.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had not only failed to fly into a rage but had even thanked him so formally, Wu Xian did not know how to continue for a moment.

His original plan had been to provoke Dugu Bo into losing his temper.

Then he would beat Dugu Bo up and let him understand the gap in their strength.

Afterward, he would use Dugu Bo's family to persuade him to become a loyal ally.

Who would have thought that Dugu Bo would surrender outright? It completely disrupted his plan.

But since things had turned out this way, Wu Xian decided to be direct.

He got straight to the point. "Dugu Bo, do you want an antidote formula?"
