Just So You Know, I, Dugu Yan, Specialize in Tsunderes

"How did you see that I only have a few years left to live?" Dugu Bo looked at Chen Lang curiously, with a little more respect in his tone as he carefully examined him.

Seeing Chen Lang's dignified bearing, neither servile nor overbearing, and his clear, bright eyes, Dugu Bo could not help but curse inwardly.

Rumors really did mislead people. If this kid was a fool, then he was blind.

"It's like this..."

Chen Lang then roughly repeated Tang San's explanation from the original story, adding a few insights of his own as he spoke, making it seem as though he truly understood poison.

This made Poison Douluo regard Chen Lang even more highly. It seemed this brat's understanding of poison was no less than his own.

When did this little brat become so knowledgeable about poison? Could he have been secretly reading every night? Sword Douluo was equally astonished.

It seemed his grandson knew everything, as though there was nothing he did not understand.

Chen Lang only wanted to say that, as a failed part-time Douluo Continent fanfiction author in his previous life, he had naturally read Douluo Continent thoroughly.

"Although poison can grant you immense strength, Senior, it will also corrode your body."

After speaking, Chen Lang looked at Poison Douluo and said, "So you must often suffer from the toxins within your body, right?"

"Sigh... to be honest, you're more or less right, young friend."

Poison Douluo sighed and could not help saying, "These past years, I've suffered greatly from the toxins in my body. Whenever they flare up, I use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to ease the pain, but that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If you can truly cure the toxins in my body, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will be yours to use as you please."

"I can indeed cure it, and there are two methods. The first is to fight poison with poison and consume the venom in your body, but that would cause your cultivation to fall below Titled Douluo."

Chen Lang copied the explanation almost word for word. "The second method is to find a tool-type Martial Soul or a soul bone to serve as a vessel, then store the toxins directly within it. That way, your body will remain unharmed, but it will take a rather long time."

"And you'll need to find an alchemy Master to slowly filter the toxins from your meridians and bones, bit by bit. At the same time, you must cooperate by circulating your soul power and gradually gathering the toxins inside the soul bone."

"You can consider which method to choose."

"There's no need to consider it. I choose the second. Time is nowhere near enough for me to cultivate back to Titled Douluo."

Poison Douluo's eyes lit up at those words, and he immediately made his decision. "I already have soul bones. As for an alchemist, I'll figure something out myself."

"Then that's settled."

Chen Lang nodded. "Then could you lead the way, Senior?"

"You brat, you really are impatient."

Now that he had a way to resolve the toxins in his body, Dugu Bo's mood greatly improved. Smiling, he looked enviously at Sword Douluo and said, "Sword Douluo, I really envy you for having such a fine grandson. Unlike my granddaughter..."

"Grandpa, what did I do this time? The moment I arrived, I heard you talking badly about me. I'm going to get angry!" At that moment, a girl of around fifteen or sixteen approached with light steps. Her jade-green gauze dress swayed gently with her movements, like rippling emerald waves.

She had a round, doll-like face, her cheeks still carrying a touch of baby fat that glowed with a healthy blush beneath the sunset. Her phoenix eyes tilted slightly upward, with a dash of vivid red at the corners like cinnabar steeped in poison. The ends of her eyes carried a natural charm, yet those eyes were clear and bright, filled with a young girl's innocence and liveliness.

Her long black hair, cascading like a waterfall, was tied high atop her head. Between her hair rested scale-like green ornaments that swayed lightly as she moved, echoing the silver bells hanging from the green whip coiled around her waist and producing crisp chimes.

At that moment, her willow brows were slightly furrowed and her red lips pouted, seeming both annoyed and angry. She radiated the sweet charm and vitality unique to a young girl, and even that splash of red at the corners of her eyes seemed more vivid.

However, when the girl noticed the two strangers, she curiously examined Chen Lang and Sword Douluo. Her naturally seductive eyes rolled thoughtfully, making her seem somewhat mischievous.

"Perfect timing, my precious granddaughter. Let me introduce you..."

Seeing his granddaughter arrive, Dugu Bo's smile widened as he began introducing them. "Sword Douluo, Little Chen, this is my granddaughter, Dugu Yan. She should be a few years older than you. When you come here to cultivate in the future, the two of you can play together."

"Yan Yan, this is Senior Sword Douluo. That is Chen Lang, Sword Douluo's grandson. Little Chen will be cultivating here for some time, so take him around and play with him."

Clearly, Dugu Bo greatly admired the bearing Chen Lang had displayed earlier and had some intention of bringing his granddaughter and Chen Lang together.

Poison Douluo's granddaughter looks far better than that old poison freak. If she can get together with my grandson, then our family will have two Titled Douluo, and they can look after each other.

Sword Douluo understood perfectly well, but he also said with a cheerful smile, "That's right. You young people will have company when you're together."

Seeing that Sword Douluo did not object, Poison Douluo immediately said, "Yan Yan, go play with your little brother for a while. We'll have dinner together later."

"I don't want to play with a child..."

Seeing that Chen Lang still looked childish, Dugu Yan said somewhat unwillingly, "If you get scared to tears when you see a soul beast later, I won't bother comforting you."

"You'd better be able to back that up."

Chen Lang naturally had no interest in playing with Dugu Yan either. His time was precious.

"Hehe, no, I've changed my mind!"

Dugu Yan looked at Chen Lang's cool eyes, her gaze shifting as she immediately changed her mind.

This little kid seemed more interesting than she had expected. He was actually so calm. Then she wanted to see whether he would cry from fright when he saw a soul beast later.

But Chen Lang ignored Dugu Yan and looked toward Poison Douluo. "Senior Poison, please take me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Right now, I only want to cultivate and increase my strength."

"I know where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is. How about big sister takes you there?" The colder Chen Lang was toward her, the more interested Dugu Yan became. She bent down to stare at him, curiosity appearing on her face.

"Then let's do that. But the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is extremely dangerous. You two must be careful." Dugu Bo glanced at Sword Douluo. Seeing that he did not object, he felt reassured.

"Fine."

Seeing that the old man also wanted to pair him up with Dugu Yan, Chen Lang could not help sighing as he replied helplessly.

At the same time, he wanted to see what Dugu Yan was planning.

Hehe, little brat, when we run into a soul beast later, let's see how you keep that calm face. Dugu Yan laughed inwardly.

With her strength as a level thirty-five Soul Elder, she could save this brat when the time came and see whether he still acted so tsundere.

After all, she, Dugu Yan, specialized in tsunderes.
