Taming a Poisonous Snake, Chrysanthemum Douluo Kneels in Excitement!

The view from the center of the valley is truly breathtaking.

To the left is an icy spring shrouded in cold mist.

The spring water has a deep, dark blue color.

The surface is covered with a thin layer of ice that never melts.

A chill rose up, condensing into fine frost flowers that drifted down.

On the right is a hot spring with steaming flames.

The spring water was as red as blood, bubbling and gurgling.

A wave of heat hit us, making our faces burn.

The two extreme energies intertwined and collided, forming a visible energy fluctuation at the center.

The ripples were radiant and dazzling.

Sometimes icy blue, sometimes crimson, breathtakingly beautiful, yet fraught with hidden danger.

If an ordinary Soul Master were to rashly approach and enter the spring, they would likely be completely melted by the icy and fiery waters.

That was a spring that even the titled Douluo, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, dared not enter.

Dozens of exotic flowers and herbs grow in the Herb Garden surrounding the Ice and Fire Spring.

Each plant exudes a rich spiritual energy, with vibrant colors and diverse shapes.

Some are crystal clear, some have petals layered like brocade, some bear pearl-like fruits, and some have leaves that shimmer with starlight.

They thrived in this unique environment of ice and fire, and after countless years, they were no longer ordinary creatures.

"This... this is simply paradise!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stood at the edge of the Herb Garden, his eyes wide with astonishment.

His mouth was agape, his face showing an expression of near-madness, as if he had lost his soul.

In particular, when his gaze fell upon a chrysanthemum that was entirely golden, with its petals layered like a pagoda, his body suddenly froze.

Then, tears streamed down my face without warning.

"It... it's here!"

His voice trembled as he reached out his white-gloved hand, wanting to touch it yet he dared not, for fear of defiling its beauty.

"Beautiful! Absolutely stunning! How could such a perfect creation exist in this world!"

That's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

The Immortal Herb that shares the same origin as his Martial Soul is a legendary item that he has longed for and searched for for decades.

He had thought it was just a fabrication in ancient books, but he never expected to see it with his own eyes today.

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Bibi Dong without warning.

"Your His Holiness the Pope!"

His voice choked with emotion, and his forehead pressed against the ground.

"You allowed me to see such a Immortal Herb with my own eyes; I, Yue Guan, will never forget this kindness and virtue!"

"From this day forward, I am willing to give my life for you, even my life! Even if you asked me to die right now, I would have no complaints!"

These words were spoken with heartfelt sincerity, and tears streamed down his face.

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, couldn't help but grimace.

Is it really necessary?

He muttered to himself, his face full of disdain.

"It's just a medicinal herb, why are you acting like you've seen your own father?"

"Chrysanthemum Guan, you neither-male-nor-female fellow truly have no backbone."

The voice wasn't loud.

But everyone present was Titled Douluo; how could they not hear it?

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly raised his head.

Her eyes were still filled with tears, but her expression was incredibly complex.

"Some people, huh~"

He slowly rose, dusted off his knees, and said in a sarcastic tone, "To possess such a treasure trove yet fail to use it is a terrible waste, utterly foolish! Such Immortal Herb are being squandered."

"What did you say?!"

Dugu Bo immediately glared angrily, and the poisonous mist around him began to churn again.

Did I say something wrong?

Chrysanthemum Douluo raised an eyebrow and gently tapped with her orchid-like finger.

"You, Dugu Bo, have guarded this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for decades. Besides using those poisonous herbs to cultivate poisonous arts, what else do you know?"

Do you understand the true value, efficacy, and uses of these Immortal Herb?

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his voice even became shrill.

"I bet you don't even know the names of at least half of the medicinal Immortal Herb in this Herb Garden!"

"Isn't this a waste of resources? Isn't this utterly foolish?"

"You--"

Dugu Bo was so angry that his face turned ashen, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

But he couldn't refute it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo is right.

He didn't recognize most of the medicinal Immortal Herb in the Herb Garden.

Some of them looked dangerous to him, and he didn't dare to move at all.

He tried some of them, and almost poisoned himself to death.

In the end, they could only choose some obviously poisonous herbs to cultivate with, and find some herbs that could suppress the toxins in their bodies to prolong their lives.

For so many years, he's been like a beggar guarding a mountain of gold.

Despite possessing a treasure trove, they can only scrape by to fill their stomachs.

That's enough.

Bibi Dong coldly interrupted their argument.

She stood in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, lightly tapping the ground with her Scepter, the sound echoing through the valley.

"Dugu Bo, now that you have pledged your allegiance to me, this Herb Garden belongs to me from this day forward."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger at Chrysanthemum Douluo's mockery.

His deep gaze fell upon Bibi Dong, and he said in a low voice:

"I can pledge my loyalty to you, and this Herb Garden is yours to have."

"But you must keep your promise to me; you must cure Yanyan's poison!"

"Rest assured."

Bibi Dong gave him a cold glance.

"Do as I say, and I will naturally ensure your granddaughter lives, and lives better than anyone else."

She turned and gave an order to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was still immersed in excitement.

"Yue Guan, you stay here too."

Her tone left no room for argument.

"Record in detail all the Immortal Herb and herbs you recognize, and compile them into a book."

"The efficacy, usage, and harvesting precautions for each plant must be clearly labeled."

"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was overjoyed and quickly bowed in agreement.

Being able to observe and study so many Immortal Herb up close was an immense blessing for him.

He couldn't have been happier to get this job!

Dugu Bo felt extremely resentful looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo's smug expression.

He had absolutely no desire to be with this androgynous guy.

But when he thought of his granddaughter's life still being in Bibi Dong's hands, he swallowed his words.

Tolerate!

He would endure anything for Yanyan!

Bibi Dong led Ghost Douluo away from the valley.

After leaving the Poison Barrier barrier, she stopped and looked back into the depths of the Sunset Forest.

"Gui Mei."

"Your subordinate is here."

The voice of Ghost Douluo came from within the black robe, elusive and uncertain.

"You've been secretly watching Dugu Bo."

Bibi Dong said calmly, "Although he has agreed to pledge allegiance, he may not be sincere. Report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes."

"In addition..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Send someone to Heaven Dou City to secretly protect Dugu Yan, make sure nothing happens to her, and prevent anyone else from contacting her."

Ghost Douluo was slightly taken aback. "Your Majesty, why is that? If you want to control Dugu Bo, wouldn't the safety of his granddaughter be the best bargaining chip?"

Bibi Dong shook her head.

"Use your chips wisely at crucial moments."

Her gaze was deep.

"What we need to do now is to win him over genuinely; protecting his granddaughter is more effective than using her as a threat."

Through her understanding from A-Qing and her own testing, Bibi Dong had figured out what kind of person Dugu Bo.

Ghost Douluo suddenly realized. "Your Majesty is wise."

Go ahead.

With a flash of black shadow, Ghost Douluo disappeared into the forest.

Bibi Dong stood alone in place, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"A-Qing, I've prepared the Immortal Herb you requested."

She murmured to herself.

"Next, it depends on how far you can go."
