Dugu Bo's Loyalty

"Ha, if you don't believe me, you can ask your grandfather." Yue Guan paid no mind to Dugu Yan's bristling, instead focusing intently on the medicinal herbs before him.

Seeing Yue Guan's reaction, Dugu Yan lifted her little head to look at Dugu Bo.

"Tell me, what do you want? I can agree to anything, as long as you help my granddaughter remove the poison from her body." This time, Dugu Bo did not respond to Dugu Yan; instead, he stared at Yue Guan with a grave expression.

Seeing her grandfather's expression, Dugu Yan finally began to believe what Yue Guan had said.

"Grandfather, are you really poisoned?" Dugu Yan's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Dugu Bo with concern.

Having lost her parents at a young age, Dugu Yan had always been raised by her grandfather Dugu Bo. She couldn't bear to imagine what would become of her after he died.

"Don't worry, your grandfather's poison isn't serious—it won't affect him much. You should be concerned about yourself." Yue Guan suddenly spoke up.

"After all, your grandfather's martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, while yours is merely a Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Moreover, your grandfather has already reached the Titled Douluo realm. If you can't resolve the poison in your body, then once your strength reaches roughly the Soul King level, that will be the end of your life." Yue Guan observed Dugu Yan carefully and laid out her situation.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo grew even more anxious.

"Just say it—what will it take for you to save my granddaughter?" Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan with a heavy heart.

Though there was no deep-seated enmity between him and Yue Guan, Dugu Bo had suffered repeated setbacks at Yue Guan's hands and never showed him a pleasant face.

Now, for the sake of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo even used a pleading tone.

"You shouldn't be asking me. After all, I'm just a subordinate who follows orders. You need to ask him." Yue Guan responded to Dugu Bo's changed attitude.

As he spoke, Yue Guan's gaze inadvertently shifted toward Lin Yu.

At that moment, Lin Yu was also staring fixedly in the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Please, save my granddaughter." Dugu Bo naturally noticed Yue Guan's glance, so he walked directly up to Lin Yu, his face full of entreaty as he looked at him.

Dugu Yan's parents—Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law—had both died because their strength was too low to control their own poison, eventually succumbing to its erosion.

He didn't want his granddaughter to repeat that fate.

"What can you offer?" Lin Yu finally shifted his gaze from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Dugu Bo.

"You should know that although you joined Martial Soul Hall, it was because of the bet between your granddaughter and me. And so far, you've contributed nothing to Martial Soul Hall.

So why should I save your granddaughter?" Lin Yu looked calmly at Dugu Bo before him.

"I know you want these medicinal herbs. If you can save my granddaughter, then from now on, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belongs to you." Dugu Bo seemed to have made up his mind, speaking the condition with weight.

"You should know the consequences of that. Your own poison requires the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress it." This time, Lin Yu didn't hesitate and directly revealed Dugu Bo's situation.

But Dugu Bo didn't wonder how Lin Yu knew; he simply assumed Lin Yu had learned it from Yue Guan.

After all, since Yue Guan could tell that he himself was plagued by poison, knowing his condition wasn't surprising.

"I don't mind. The poison has been with me for many years already. Even without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the impact isn't huge. As long as you can save my granddaughter, you can take the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well." Dugu Bo sighed, but a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes.

"Heh, don't worry. Not only can your granddaughter's poison be resolved, but the poison on your body can be too.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is far more precious than you imagine." Seeing Dugu Bo so concerned for his granddaughter, Lin Yu smiled.

Since Dugu Bo cared so much for his granddaughter, as long as Dugu Yan was kept under control, Dugu Bo would have no choice but to comply.

"Uncle Yue, leave their poison to you. The reward is that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will belong to Martial Soul Hall from now on.

You can use any of the medicinal herbs there you want." After agreeing with Dugu Bo, Lin Yu spoke to Yue Guan.

"Don't worry. With the medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the poison on the two of them is nothing." Hearing that he could freely use the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yue Guan readily agreed.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo's previously heavy expression finally relaxed.

"Damn chrysanthemum, thank you." Dugu Bo offered Yue Guan a sincere thanks.

"Since when did you old poison freak learn to thank people? Getting all sentimental, are you?" Hearing Dugu Bo's thanks, Yue Guan showed no seriousness, instead teasing him.

Sure enough, at Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo's face quickly twisted into a scowl.

"Damn chrysanthemum, your mouth is still as venomous as ever."

"Haha, now that's the Dugu Bo I know. I thought you old geezer had changed your ways." Seeing Dugu Bo like this, Yue Guan broke into a smile.

"Your granddaughter's poison isn't hard to solve. Just find a soul bone, have her fuse with it, and force all the poison into the soul bone. Then the poison on her body will naturally be resolved.

But the poison on you is a bit trickier." Yue Guan observed Dugu Bo's condition and furrowed his elegant brows.

"What, the damn chrysanthemum can't handle it? Looks like you're not up to the task either." Seeing Yue Guan's frown, Dugu Bo's face took on a teasing expression.

"I only said it's a bit tricky, not that it can't be solved." Yue Guan rolled his eyes at Dugu Bo's remark.

Then, Yue Guan began searching around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Wait a moment. Your poison is a bit troublesome. Do you have any soul bones on hand? Put one on your granddaughter first and solve her problem." Yue Guan searched carefully for herbs without turning his head, giving orders to Dugu Bo.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo frowned. He did have a soul bone, but he had already used it himself—and it was a Head Soul Bone at that, impossible to remove.

So, to solve Dugu Yan's problem, he would have to find a new soul bone for her.

"Alright, then you all stay here and don't move. I'll go find a soul bone for Yan Yan." Dugu Bo said, preparing to leave with Dugu Yan.

"You can leave, but Dugu Yan must stay here." Just as Dugu Bo was about to take Dugu Yan away, Ghost blocked the two of them.

"Yan Yan, stay here for now. Grandfather will be back soon." After saying this, Dugu Bo quickly left the place.
