The white light came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in less than three seconds.
The comfortable feeling vanished, and Dugu Yan opened her eyes in disappointment. She immediately felt her body become exceptionally light, no longer heavy as it usually was.
Her beautiful eyes widened as she carefully sensed the toxins within her body, her cheeks filling with ecstatic shock.
The toxins in her body had actually been reduced by a full thirty percent!
Dugu Yan suddenly looked up at Qin Yuan, her breathing becoming rapid:
"Can you give me another chance?"
Hey, hey, hey, your words are easily misunderstood. Don't you see the guy next to you blushing?
"If you want it, tell your grandfather. If he agrees to my conditions, then I'll..."
Qin Yuan glanced at Yu Tianheng, who was blushing, with a half-smile and deliberately said:
"Give you another chance."
After speaking, he ignored Yu Tianheng, whose eyes were red, glanced at Dugu Yan, who was biting her red lips, and smiled as he turned to leave.
"How do I find you?" Dugu Yan asked anxiously.
"You'll know," Qin Yuan replied, leaving without looking back.
Yu Tianheng felt like an incompetent husband at that moment, as the stranger had already disappeared from sight.
Yet, the goddess beside him was still gazing wistfully in the direction the man had left.
"Heh, this is fun."
Thinking of Yu Tianheng's blushing appearance just now, Qin Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
With his hands behind his head, he leisurely left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed towards the imperial palace.
Although he could directly teleport to find Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, and the surrounding poisonous miasma wouldn't stop him, he could bypass it with a direct teleport.
And if all else failed, there was always [Life Miracle].
But if he did that, he wouldn't be able to befriend Dugu Bo, this Poison Douluo.
Even if he could become a god in the future, befriending a Titled Douluo now would only bring him benefits, so why not?
Besides, curing Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo was just a casual act, with no burden. Only a fool wouldn't do it.
What's more, Dugu Bo was a man of strong emotions who valued kindness greatly. Benefiting him would bring many advantages in the future.
However, he would wait a few days before finding Dugu Yan. Making them wait would allow him to secure greater benefits.
"Yan Yan, the person is gone, stop looking."
Yu Tianheng walked up to Dugu Yan, blocking her view with a face full of resentment, but inwardly he cursed:
"Damn pretty boy, just because you're a bit better looking, is your Martial Soul stronger than mine? Is your Soul Power higher than mine? Is your status higher than mine? Next time I see you, I'll beat you into a pig's head!"
Dugu Yan glared at Yu Tianheng with dissatisfaction, then turned and ran away without looking back.
"Yan Yan, where are you going..." Yu Tianheng's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he stood frozen in place, like a sorrowful statue.
Dugu Yan had no mood to pay attention to Yu Tianheng now. She had finally found a way to solve her 'incurable disease,' so her top priority was to discuss it with her grandfather.
Thus, Dugu Yan ran home breathlessly and found Dugu Bo, who was leisurely sunbathing.
"Yan Yan, why are you back so early today?" Seeing his beloved granddaughter return, Dugu Bo immediately got up with a smile.
"Grandpa, listen to me..." Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo everything that had just happened at an extremely fast pace.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No one in this world understands poison better than I do. Even I couldn't resolve the hidden danger in your body, so there's no way that kid, who's younger than you, could have."
After hearing Dugu Yan's description, Dugu Bo couldn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa, it's true!" Seeing that her grandfather didn't believe her, Dugu Yan became anxious and immediately asked the old man to check her body for toxins.
Dugu Bo, half-believing and half-doubting, extended his hand, and a wisp of Soul Power flowed into Dugu Yan's body.
A moment later, Dugu Bo's old eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock:
"It's actually reduced by thirty percent!"
"No, it's impossible. According to your description, that kid is at most fourteen or fifteen years old. How could he have resolved the toxins that even I couldn't? This, this is simply... unbelievable!"
Dugu Bo was both horrified and confused.
But no matter what, his beloved granddaughter finally had a chance to live, and he was overjoyed. He immediately wanted to take his granddaughter to find that kid.
"Grandpa, I don't know where he is. He wouldn't say when I asked," Dugu Yan said helplessly.
Dugu Bo frowned, then relaxed, and said with a nonchalant smile:
"It doesn't matter. As long as he's within the borders of Heaven Dou City, there's no one old man can't find."
This was the absolute confidence of Dugu Bo, the sole Titled Douluo in Heaven Dou City.
Therefore, Dugu Bo immediately dispatched all his men to search, while he himself took Dugu Yan to search the city.
For three consecutive days, they didn't find a single trace.
Dugu Bo fell into deep thought.
"This shouldn't be. Is there anyone in Heaven Dou City that this old man can't find? Could that kid not be in Heaven Dou City?"
Dugu Bo felt a sense of urgency, fearing that the person who could cure his precious granddaughter might not come.
So, he increased his manpower and continued the search.
But there was still no sign of that man. Now, even Dugu Yan was becoming increasingly anxious.
Why hadn't he come yet? They had agreed.
"Young Master, Dugu Bo is still searching the entire city for you. He's even expanded the search to over a dozen surrounding cities," Li Fu said respectfully in a scenic mansion in Heaven Dou City.
"Heh heh, only seven days. It's not enough yet," Qin Yuan said with a leisurely smile as he fished.
"Humans don't cherish things that are easily obtained. Only when they are hard-won will they be treasured more. Therefore, let Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan wait for another half a month. Only then can we gain greater benefits."
Li Fu nodded and continued, "His Majesty and the Crown Prince are also looking for you. They already know that the person Dugu Bo is looking for is you, Young Master."
"I expected this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed here all this time and not returned to the imperial palace," Qin Yuan said, not surprised at all.
Thus, Qin Yuan made Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan wait for more than half a month, and he himself rested for more than half a month.
This day, he finally returned to the imperial palace.
However, he didn't return ostentatiously. Instead, he used Teleportation, planning to see Qian Renxue first before releasing a message to have Dugu Bo come to the imperial palace to find him.
Upon learning that Qin Yuan had returned, Qian Renxue immediately rushed over and chided him, "Xiao Yuan, where have you been these past few days? You didn't even tell me. Do you know how worried I was?"
Qin Yuan immediately grinned and admitted his mistake. Qian Renxue wasn't truly angry, but she still pretended to be, pinching Qin Yuan's cheeks with both hands.
"If you worry me again, I'll punish you... no sleeping in!"
Qian Renxue declared a most cruel punishment.
Qin Yuan's face showed terror, and he repeatedly promised he would never dare to do it again.
Qian Renxue then smiled and nodded with satisfaction. She knew how to precisely handle the child she had raised.
Just then, a sharp voice came from outside.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
