Dugu Bo's smile gradually faded from his face.
He glanced at Lu Ming, then at the little girl who possessed no combat power.
A pressure belonging to a Titled Douluo faintly emanated from him.
"Dean Lu, that treatment just now was indeed brilliant."
"But regarding that medicinal garden..."
A roguish smile curved Dugu Bo's lips.
"I've thought it over carefully, and that is the place where I make my living. I truly can't bear to part with it."
"How about this? I'll give you One Million Gold Soul Coins, and we'll let this matter drop. What do you say?"
This was clearly a case of burning bridges after crossing the river.
Although One Million Gold Soul Coins was a lot, it was nothing compared to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Although Dugu Yan felt something was amiss, it was her grandfather's territory, so she remained silent.
Lu Ming seemed to have expected this turn of events and didn't get angry. Instead, he chuckled.
"Mr. Dugu, are you planning to renege on your debt?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly. His Nine Spirit Rings suddenly lit up: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
The aura of a Titled Douluo was unleashed without reservation, and the entire courtyard was instantly filled with Fishy Sweet Poisonous Gas.
"So what if I renege on my debt?"
"I am the Poison Douluo. In Heaven Dou City, who dares to touch my things?"
"Young man, one should know when to be content. Take the money and shut up obediently. It's better for everyone."
Just as Dugu Bo felt victory was within his grasp and was preparing to force Lu Ming to comply with brute force, The Snow Empress, who had been sitting by the side without speaking, slowly stood up.
She did not release her Martial Soul, nor did she reveal her Spirit Rings.
She simply took a step forward.
Boom--
An indescribable, terrifying chill descended instantly.
The poisonous gas that had been raging moments before was frozen into Green Ice Crystals at that instant, shattering and falling to the ground with crackling sounds.
Dugu Bo's proud Titled Douluo pressure was as fragile as a thin piece of paper in front of this chill.
It was directly crushed to pieces!
"You..."
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted violently, and he looked at the White-Clad Woman in terror.
He felt as if he were trapped beneath the Ten Thousand Year Glacier of the Extreme North, his very blood about to freeze.
This pressure...
was definitely not from an ordinary Titled Douluo!
It was something even a Super Douluo above Level Ninety-Five couldn't achieve!
This... could this be the legendary Limit Douluo?!
The Snow Empress looked coldly at Dugu Bo, her gaze like she was looking at an ant that didn't know its own limits.
"You dare to make noise here?"
As the Snow Empress's voice fell, an even more terrifying pressure descended upon Dugu Bo's shoulders like a Great Mountain.
Crack!
The Bluestone Slab beneath Dugu Bo's feet instantly shattered.
The Poison Douluo, who had been so arrogant moments ago, had his knees buckle, and he directly fell to the ground with a "thump."
Cold sweat mixed with frost instantly soaked his back.
He was truly scared.
The gap in strength was simply a chasm!
In front of this woman, he felt unable to even muster the thought of resistance.
"Your Excellency, spare my life!"
"It was this old man's lack of foresight! It was this old man's Grease Covered the Heart!"
Dugu Bo prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy without any regard for his image.
"Take the Medicinal Garden! I'll give it to you right now!"
"I beg Your Excellency to withdraw your Divine Ability!"
Dugu Yan, standing by the side, had long been scared silly. She shivered and huddled in the corner, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Lu Ming stood up and walked to Dugu Bo, looking down at him.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"Lead the way."
Dugu Bo no longer dared to utter a single superfluous word. He quickly scrambled to his feet and respectfully walked ahead, looking more subservient than a grandson.
Deep within the Sunset Forest.
When Lu Ming arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with the Snow Empress and Cai Wenji, even though he was prepared, he was still stunned by the sight before him.
The milky white cold spring and the crimson hot spring converged, yet they did not mix, forming a peculiar Tai Chi pattern.
The surroundings were covered in various immortal herbs that were only recorded in ancient texts.
Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum...
Each plant exuded a rich medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy.
A glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
With these items, the strength of Jixia Academy would definitely reach another level!
Moreover, he could also use these immortal herbs to completely cleanse his marrow and improve his aptitude.
"Snow Empress, keep an eye on him. Don't let him play any tricks."
Lu Ming gave the instruction and then, with Cai Wenji, began to scour this treasure trove.
Dugu Bo stood to the side, watching his hard-earned treasures being dug up one by one, his heart bleeding.
But he dared not speak out in anger.
That white-clothed female fiend was watching him from the side. If he made the slightest move, he would probably turn into an ice sculpture.
Night fell, dotted with stars.
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion, secret chamber.
Qian Renxue, having shed her male disguise, had returned to her original female form.
Her golden hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her stunningly beautiful face appeared exceptionally captivating in the candlelight.
She let out a long sigh, her entire body relaxing considerably.
Today's "effort" was finally not in vain.
Gongsun Li clearly no longer held any hostility towards her, and could even be said to have an extremely good impression.
"Now, that rabbit shouldn't be trying to kill me anymore, right?"
"My relationship with Lu Ming should also ease up considerably."
Qian Renxue looked at the illusory panel that only she could see, her eyes shining with anticipation.
The countdown above had already reached zero.
That was the reset time for the "Life Simulator."
"Finally, it's time for the third round."
"Although the endings of the first two rounds were tragic, they also allowed me to obtain so much crucial information."
"In this life, I've already changed Gongsun Li's attitude and prevented Bibi Dong from courting disaster."
"My future must have undergone earth-shattering changes!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, calming her excited emotions.
She extended her jade-like fingers and firmly tapped the "Start Simulation" button.
"In this life, I, Qian Renxue, will never admit defeat!"
[Simulator activated.]
The candlelight cast flickering shadows on the walls of the secret chamber, illuminating Qian Renxue's exquisite face in a play of light and dark.
She took a deep breath, steadying her slightly rapid heartbeat, which was due to anticipation.
There was nothing more captivating than controlling one's own destiny, especially after knowing that tragic future.
Qian Renxue looked at the faint blue light screen in front of her, visible only to her, her fingers trembling slightly as they hovered in mid-air.
All the efforts at Jixia Academy today, the deep-sea pearl powder she gave away, the fawning and flattery, were all for the sake of creating a variable at this moment.
She didn't care about the so-called dignity of a crown prince. As long as she could survive, as long as she could uncover the truth, these grievances were nothing.
As her fingertip fell, the familiar mechanical voice exploded in her mind.
