Dugu Yan: Grandfather! You Have No Sense of Decorum! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Lu Duzhou heard Dugu Bo agree to the matter of the Immortal Herbs, and a weight lifted from his heart.

He had truly feared that Old Poison would haggle over the terms.

Now, it seemed that Dugu Bo did not know the specific value of the Immortal Herbs on one hand, while on the other, he cared more about his granddaughter's safety.

Lu Duzhou's proposed method was feasible, which was equivalent to saving Dugu Yan's life.

Although Old Poison was temperamental, he truly was a man of loyalty and sentiment.

Lu Duzhou had dared to make demands of him because he understood this.

"The second condition is simple. You will surely personally hunt whale-type Soul Beasts to quickly obtain Whale Rubber. When that time comes, I want half of your harvest."

"This half will not be for my use alone. Dean Ailin's niece is my Fourth Sister, and I also have a Second Sister and a Third Brother."

"Rest assured, a Demon Whale produces plenty of Whale Rubber, more than enough to share. There is also a limit to how much can be used each day. Otherwise, the remaining aphrodisiac side effects will not have time to be metabolized, and their accumulation will harm the body."

Dugu Bo nodded.

He knew that Whale Rubber came from a Demon Whale's brain. A Demon Whale that large could produce quite a bit in one go.

Giving away half would not affect Dugu Yan's use.

Lu Duzhou continued:

"The third condition is that my Third Brother likes using poison. I hope you can take him as your student."

Dugu Bo said in surprise:

"Why aren't you taking me as your teacher yourself, instead of having your Third Brother become my student? A Title Douluo as a teacher is something countless people dream of."

Lu Duzhou shook his head.

"Your path is not suitable for me."

"Thank you for your kind offer. But my Martial Soul is very special and requires me to collect Plant-type Martial Souls."

"My Third Brother has Innate Full Soul Power and is already a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master at ten years old. He has quite some knowledge in the art of poison. You will definitely approve of him as a student!"

In the original story, Tang San and Dugu Bo called each other Old Poison and Little Poison. They were absolutely kindred spirits.

Now that he had finally established a connection with Dugu Bo, the only way to gain long-term protection was to bind them through a teacher-student relationship.

Lu Duzhou himself would not work. His main focus still had to be on acquiring Plant-type Martial Souls and researching his own Martial Soul.

Xiao Wu was even less possible. Bringing Xiao Wu here would be like delivering a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Dugu Bo.

As for Xiao Aimi, Lu Duzhou could not decide someone else's fate for her.

All things considered, Tang San was the most suitable.

Although Lu Duzhou had him follow the same Life Metal path as Yue Guan, the boy truly had not given up on poison.

Tang San persisted in working at the Blacksmith Shop precisely so he could continuously forge Hidden Weapons.

He had also mentioned poisoning to Lu Duzhou before.

Dugu Bo said in surprise:

"Innate Full Soul Power? A genius like that is indeed qualified to become Old Man's student."

"Fine, I agree to this condition as well."

After a pause, he turned around.

"Let's go. Yanyan must be getting impatient."

When the two returned, Dugu Yan indeed came forward with an angry puffed-out face and complained:

"Grandfather! What were you talking about with this little brother? Why did you talk for so long?"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

"Good things!"

"Yanyan, there is no need to rush obtaining your Third Soul Ring."

He turned to look at Ailin and said:

"Dean Ailin, you should have some Whale Rubber here, correct?"

"Give me half of it. Once I obtain new Whale Rubber, I will repay you double."

Ailin understood that Lu Duzhou had settled the matter. Without hesitation, she took out a large piece of Whale Rubber and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Your Excellency Dugu, there is no need to repay me. If you are going to hunt Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, I hope to accompany you. Whether I hunt some myself then or buy some from you, I hope you will permit it."

Before Dugu Bo could answer, Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed, her cheeks flushing red as she angrily punched Dugu Bo.

"Grandfather! You have no sense of decorum!"

Dugu Bo was immediately caught between laughter and tears. He glared irritably at Lu Duzhou.

"You brat, explain it to Yanyan!"

Lu Duzhou said with a smile:

"Older Sister Dugu Yan, do not misunderstand."

"Whale Rubber does not only have that one effect found on the market. Its true effect is that after being melted at high temperatures and consumed, it can greatly enhance one's physical constitution."

"Once your physical constitution improves, you can Absorb Soul Rings Beyond Theoretical Limit."

"My Thousand-Year Second Ring came from this."

Dugu Yan's eyes widened as she exclaimed:

"It is that amazing?"

Lu Duzhou pointed at the Whale Rubber in Dugu Bo's hand.

"Whether it works or not, Older Sister Dugu Yan, you can try it yourself."

Dugu Bo had been planning to do just that. No matter what, he could only rest assured after testing it.

He immediately melted a small piece of Whale Rubber for Dugu Yan and had her consume it according to Lu Duzhou's instructions.

A moment later, Dugu Yan stood up and swung her fist forcefully.

"Grandfather! It is real! The improvement is so obvious!"

Excited, she stepped forward and patted Lu Duzhou on the shoulder.

"You told me about something this good, so I will look after you from now on. You can just call me Yanyan Jie."

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"Yanyan Jie, Whale Rubber's benefits for you are not limited to this. Once you return, Grandfather Dugu will explain it to you."

After a pause, he looked at Dugu Bo.

"Your Excellency Dugu, you just said that Yanyan Jie needs to obtain her Third Soul Ring. That means she should have reached Level Thirty."

"Since that is the case, obtaining Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber cannot be delayed."

"After all, obtaining Whale Rubber takes time, and absorbing and refining it also takes time. Even if you leave today, it will still take quite a while for Yanyan Jie to improve her physical body."

"If it is delayed by a month or two, the waiting time will be even longer."

"It would be best to set out within ten days."

Ailin promptly added:

"Your Excellency, set a date. I will arrange the academy's affairs in advance and go with you."

Thinking of the Immortal Herbs, Dugu Bo said:

"Then we will set it for ten days from now. Ten days from now, I will return to Plant Academy to find you. We will depart from Pano City for Vast Sea City, then enter the sea from Vast Sea City to search for Demon Whales."

After a pause, he looked at Lu Duzhou.

"Also, Xiao Zhou and I have some matters to handle. I will bring him with me to find you in ten days."

"You need not worry about his safety. I have good things to discuss with him."

Ailin looked at Lu Duzhou and only agreed after seeing him nod.

"Your Excellency Dugu, this child is an orphan and is also caring for two other orphan children. His life has been very difficult. I hope you can take good care of him!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's heart softened. She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Duzhou's hand.

"Rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Zhou Didi and will not let Grandfather bully him!"

Dugu Bo's face darkened. This granddaughter had truly been spoiled rotten.

"Old Man is a dignified Title Douluo. How could I bully a child? Yanyan, do not spout nonsense!"

Ailin said with a smile:

"With Yanyan's promise, I am truly relieved. Your Excellency, I shall await you at Plant Academy."

With that, she turned and left without any hesitation.

After she left, Dugu Bo immediately told Dugu Yan everything about detoxification.

After hearing him out, Dugu Yan directly hugged Lu Duzhou.
