Seeing Lin Chen accurately describe her physical condition, Dugu Yan was slightly shocked.
It seemed that Lin Chen, this little brat, really had a way to solve the problem of the deadly poison afflicting her.
"Dugu Yan, was I right?"
Seeing Dugu Yan standing there with her mouth slightly open, Lin Chen smiled and asked her confidently.
"Little brat, you're absolutely right."
"Then do you have a way to solve it?"
Dugu Yan looked at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with longing.
She desperately wanted to learn from Lin Chen how to solve the problem of the deadly poison afflicting her. She did not want to die before she turned thirty.
"Well, of course I do."
"However, before that, you have to help me get an introduction to your grandfather, Dugu Bo."
"Let me tell you this first: your grandfather Dugu Bo's condition is even worse than yours. This is a flaw in your Dugu Clan's Martial Soul. It's only because your grandfather's cultivation is powerful that the poison hasn't killed him yet."
Seeing that Dugu Yan had taken the bait, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth lifted slightly as he finally revealed his true objective.
After gaining Dugu Yan's trust, the most important thing would be figuring out how to make Dugu Bo believe him.
Moreover, during their conversation, Lin Chen had to ensure that Dugu Bo would not attack him in a fit of anger.
Otherwise, everything he had done would be wasted.
Lin Chen looked at Dugu Yan and continued:
"Dugu Yan, you know your grandfather's temperament. When the time comes, you'll come with me to meet him."
"If your grandfather tries to hurt me, you'll be able to protect me. Otherwise..."
"You don't want to die before you turn thirty, do you? And you don't want your grandfather to be tormented by illness in his old age before eventually dying from the poison, do you?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Dugu Yan sighed softly. Only then did she realize his true objective.
So it was for her grandfather. She had thought her own charm had attracted Lin Chen.
"All right, little brat. I agree."
"When my grandfather returns, I'll take you to see him."
Dugu Yan made Lin Chen her promise.
Immediately afterward, Dugu Yan seemed to remember something and asked Lin Chen:
"By the way, little brat, where are you staying? Would you like to stay at my house for now?"
"When my grandfather returns, I can take you to see him right away."
Dugu Yan sincerely invited Lin Chen to stay at her house. That way, she could bully Lin Chen a little every day and pinch his chubby cheeks.
She could also wander around in front of Lin Chen every day and obtain Hidden Rewards from the Diary Copy. It was simply perfect.
Besides, the Dugu Family's residence occupied a large area and had plenty of rooms, so there was no need to worry about not having a place for Lin Chen to stay.
Hearing this, Lin Chen thought for a while, then glanced at the eagerness in Dugu Yan's eyes...
The sun gradually sank, and darkness covered the sky.
At Dugu Yan's residence.
"Little brat, you'll stay here."
"Also, Sister's room is right next door. If anything happens, just come find me."
Dugu Yan pointed at one of the rooms in her residence and spoke to Lin Chen with an excited look on her face.
"Got it, Sister Yan."
"But, Sister Yan, could you stop calling me Little Brat? I have a name. It's Lin Chen."
Lin Chen really disliked this form of address. They had clearly just agreed on how they would address each other, yet Dugu Yan was already refusing to honor the agreement.
"Got it, Little Brat. I'll definitely call you by your name next time."
Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, a smile spreading across her face as she reached out and rubbed Lin Chen's head, promising him.
Seeing the smile on Dugu Yan's face, Lin Chen did not hold out any hope at all. He could only carry his luggage into Dugu Yan's home.
After entering his room, Lin Chen tidied up for a while. Then, with a thought, he summoned his Black Diary.
It was time to update today's diary entry.
[Sigh, not only did I manage to track down Dugu Yan today and gain her trust, but even more amazingly, I actually moved into her house.]
[But that's fine too. I just need to wait for Dugu Yan to call her grandfather back. When that happens, it will be the most important moment in completing my plan.]
[Dugu Bo, the Poison Titled Douluo. Just as his name suggests, he is a poisonous man. It will be very difficult to gain Dugu Bo's trust.]
[Fortunately, Dugu Yan already trusts me. That gives me a certain chance of persuading Dugu Bo. If I succeed, everyone will be happy.]
[Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan will be able to solve the flaws in their Martial Souls, and I'll be able to obtain the Celestial Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.]
[Even if I fail, it doesn't matter. I have a Spatial Jade Slip to escape with, and Dugu Bo won't be able to do anything to me.]
[It's just a pity. If I can obtain the Celestial Herbs, my Golden Dragon will be able to completely evolve into the Golden Holy Dragon. It might even be possible for it to evolve into an even more powerful Martial Soul.]
[But it doesn't matter much. The Celestial Herbs will only accelerate my growth. With the Diary System, I'll stand at the peak of Soul Masters sooner or later. The Celestial Herbs will merely shorten the time it takes me to reach that peak.]
The room next door to Lin Chen's.
Dugu Yan took out her Diary Copy and began reading it. Only then did she learn what Lin Chen's ultimate objective was.
Celestial Herbs—the treasure Lin Chen yearned for, which could even allow his Martial Soul to evolve into the Golden Holy Dragon.
The Golden Holy Dragon was a Super Martial Soul. Achieving the level of a Titled Douluo in the future would be effortless. It was easy to imagine how terrifying this Martial Soul was.
"Looks like I have to protect Lin Chen properly. I absolutely can't let Grandpa hurt him."
Dugu Yan secretly made up her mind.
She knew her grandfather Dugu Bo's personality well. If she were not there, and Lin Chen dared to say such things, her grandfather would definitely eliminate him.
If Grandpa scared Lin Chen away, then solving the problem of their Martial Soul flaw would not be so easy for either her or Grandpa.
Therefore, she had to protect Lin Chen properly—not only for her own sake, but also for her grandfather Dugu Bo's sake.
Lin Chen's room.
After writing enough words, Lin Chen began claiming today's Diary System rewards.
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Douluo Version Poison Pill Method (exclusive to Poison Attribute Soul Masters; allows perfect control over one's own poison), and the Douluo Version Alchemy (the best method for refining Celestial Herbs into pills).]
After learning about today's system rewards, Lin Chen jumped up excitedly.
This Diary System was simply too considerate and too intelligent. He absolutely loved it.
As expected of his "beloved system," it was truly thoughtful and attentive toward him, its host.
The Poison Pill Method was just what he needed to perfectly solve the Martial Soul flaw afflicting Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. It could also multiply their combat power.
However, Lin Chen would not hand over this trump card right away.
At the very least, he had to obtain the Celestial Herbs first. Then, after improving his relationship with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he would teach it to them.
After all, the Poison Pill Method could perfectly solve the Martial Soul flaw of their Jade Phosphorous Serpent, while also greatly enhancing the strength of Poison Attribute Soul Masters.
This was ten thousand times better than Tang san's method in the original story.
