But before that...

Qian Renxue reined in her thoughts and called out softly.

"Elder Pufferfish!"

As her light, ethereal voice faded, a figure appeared in a flash.

The man was tall and robust, his skin a deep crimson. His disheveled red hair resembled a lion's mane, and his massive frame was like that of a savage bear.

The muscles on his arms bulged in thick, knotted lumps, looking like a pile of raw meat stacked upon his limbs.

"Young Master, why have you summoned me?" The man bowed and asked.

Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were both guardians of Qian Renxue, but their duties differed.

Snake Lance Douluo was responsible for other matters; he was Qian Renxue's assistant and, most of the time, her errand runner.

Pufferfish Douluo was responsible for her personal safety, supervising others on her behalf, and ensuring her plans proceeded smoothly while she was away.

Therefore, when things were busy, Pufferfish Douluo was truly busy, and when things were quiet, he was truly idle.

But as Qian Renxue's strength increased and she gained powerful self-preservation abilities, Pufferfish Douluo became even more idle.

Idle or not, Pufferfish Douluo's responsibility was no less than that of Snake Lance Douluo; he had to guard Qian Renxue's safety at all times and ensure the success of her plans.

Usually, when Qian Renxue reverted to her true female form, he would stand guard to prevent anyone from accidentally approaching and discovering her identity.

It could be said that the fact Qian Renxue had been able to use her female form in the East Palace so recklessly for so long without being detected was largely due to Pufferfish Douluo's secret protection.

Without Pufferfish Douluo's covert watch, given that Qian Renxue bathed in her female form every day, she would have been stumbled upon by someone long ago.

Moreover, during the years Qian Renxue had been masquerading as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, it wasn't as if ambitious women hadn't tried to climb into her bed; all those women were secretly dealt with by Pufferfish Douluo.

"Elder Pufferfish, I need to go out for a while, and my return date is currently undecided. While I am away, I leave everything here in your hands!"

"Rest assured, Young Master. This elder will look after everything here and will absolutely not let any accidents occur!"

Hearing this, Pufferfish Douluo didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a routine trip back to Martial Soul Hall for Qian Renxue.

He immediately patted his chest in a promise, telling her to return to Martial Soul Hall without worry, as with him, Pufferfish Douluo, here, there would absolutely be no accidents.

The Heaven Dou Empire was currently entirely in Qian Renxue's grasp; not only had all the capable princes fallen, but even Great Emperor Xue Ye was now bedridden with illness.

The Heaven Dou Empire's political power, and even most of its military power, were now in their hands.

The Heaven Dou Empire was already theirs for the taking.

Once Great Emperor Xue Ye died, the Young Master would be the only legitimate heir.

Would Great Emperor Xue Ye die? If it were before, Pufferfish Douluo could not have guaranteed it.

Although Pufferfish Douluo had confidence in his own poison and knew it was incredibly potent.

Yet, there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven; his poison could potentially be neutralized by others.

But now, Pufferfish Douluo had no such worries at all.

The poison Great Emperor Xue Ye was currently suffering from was, strictly speaking, not a poison at all.

It was a catalyst, a catalyst capable of causing human body fiberization.

The most terrifying aspect of this deadly poison was that the product of its catalysis was actually the substance itself.

What did this mean? It was incurable!

Once this poison started, it was like a snowball rolling down a high mountain—it could not be stopped, and it only grew larger as it rolled.

Thinking of that bottle of deadly poison, the corner of Pufferfish Douluo's mouth curled into a smug, confident smirk.

It was the most terrifying poison in the world, colorless and odorless, with nothing capable of detecting it.

Even though his Martial Soul was renowned for being able to store a hundred poisons of the world, he would have no path to survival if faced with it; the entire person would completely fiberize and eventually turn into the catalyst itself!

Before learning about this poison, Pufferfish Douluo never knew such an overbearing, terrifying, and perverted poison existed in the world.

Once poisoned, no one could help; the only method was to replace the physical body.

Even if one could heal infinitely, one would still have no path to survival when facing it.

Because its catalytic product was the catalyst itself, this meant that once your fiberization began, it would grow in a J-shaped curve.

One second you could suppress the fiberization with a little bit of healing.

But the next second, you might need ten thousand times the healing to suppress it.

The second after that would require ten thousand points of healing, and the second after that, a hundred million...

When Chu Feng gave him this medicine, Pufferfish Douluo found it hard to believe that such a perverted, overbearing, and unreasonable thing existed in the world.

That's right, the deadly poison Pufferfish Douluo used on Great Emperor Xue Ye was given to him by Chu Feng.

Chu Feng said it was "Dimethyl Bipyridinium Chloride," and Chu Feng said it wasn't a poison, but a lethal catalyst—unsolvable.

Those afflicted with this medicine would only die slowly in endless agony unless they discarded their physical bodies!

Pufferfish Douluo wasn't afraid of Great Emperor Xue Ye discarding his body at all, because Great Emperor Xue Ye was just a person; he couldn't discard it.

If Great Emperor Xue Ye could discard it, then they, Martial Soul Hall, wouldn't even want the Heaven Dou Empire.

It wasn't that he didn't want them, but that he didn't dare to take them.

Star Dou Forest.

After Chu Feng requested Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from Bibi Dong, he finally arrived at the Star Dou Forest after more than a day of hurried travel.

The Star Dou Forest is divided into the outer circle, the inner circle, and the core circle.

The division of these three circles is based on the distribution of the strength of the Spirit Beasts.

The outer circle ranges from a few years to ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, the inner circle is between ten thousand and one hundred thousand years, and the core circle is the territory of the Forest Emperor Sky Azure Bull Python and the Forest King Titan Giant Ape, both of which are Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts.

Of course, this distribution does not mean that there are no Spirit Beasts exceeding ten thousand years in the outer circle.

The outer circle of the Star Dou Forest also contains Spirit Beasts that have exceeded ten thousand years.

There are some Spirit Beasts that do not like to stay in the inner circle...

As the largest Spirit Beast forest on the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Forest contains a wide variety of Spirit Beasts and also absorbs Spirit Beasts from other major forests.

Chu Feng had been to the Star Dou Forest several times and was quite familiar with the place. With the two Title Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, behind him, he arrived at the Lake of Life in the core circle very smoothly.

The Lake of Life is the heart of the Star Dou Forest, and the Gold of Life beneath it contains extremely vast life energy, making it a naturally formed sacred medicine for healing.

The Silver Dragon King is beneath the Lake of Life, using the life energy of the Gold of Life to heal her wounds.

The reason the Star Dou Forest developed into the number one Spirit Beast forest on the Douluo Continent is precisely because of the Silver Dragon King sleeping beneath the Lake of Life.

It was formed after the Silver Dragon King escaped from the God Realm to this place and voluntarily gave up her cultivation.

Therefore, all the Spirit Beasts within the Star Dou Forest have received the blessings of the Silver Dragon King; they are all her descendants, and the Silver Dragon King is the Common Lord of Spirit Beasts for them all.

Chu Feng arrived at the side of the Lake of Life, gazing at the lake before him, which was filled with ethereal mist and resembled the Jade Pool of the celestial realm.

Chu Feng stopped in his tracks, standing by the lake, and cast a glance out of the corner of his eye at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo behind him.
