Borrow Your Granddaughter for a Few Days of Research

"Dugu Yan, come out..."

Dugu Bo's voice was filled with helplessness.

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, a young girl walked out from the valley; it was none other than Dugu Yan.

She had short, deep purple hair, giving her a heroic and spirited appearance.

However, Ying Chengfeng was more focused on her green eyes.

These eyes were incredibly bewitching, and Ying Chengfeng couldn't help but frown as he looked at them.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?" Dugu Yan noticed Ying Chengfeng staring at her 'face' and spoke unhappily.

Her grandfather had been injured by the other party's people, so it would be strange if she gave him a pleasant look.

"A beauty? You?" Ying Chengfeng retorted with disdain.

In Ying Chengfeng's view, Dugu Yan was merely decent-looking, even inferior to Yu Feiyan.

With just that, she dared to call herself a beauty?

Hearing this, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan looked unsightly.

Ying Chengfeng fell into a brief moment of thought before looking back at Dugu Yan.

"Before we spar, I have a question for you."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan snorted coldly: "Little brat, I'll beat you until you cry in a moment! Let's see if you'll still have the chance to ask me questions then."

With that, she released her Martial Soul.

A Jade Phosphor Snake emerged from behind Dugu Yan.

The Jade Phosphor Snake flicked its tongue, its vertical pupils locked firmly onto Ying Chengfeng.

Two yellow spirit rings appeared from beneath Dugu Yan's feet.

"Kid, show your Martial Soul."

Ying Chengfeng tilted his head and said indifferently: "There's no need for spirit rings."

He didn't rely on spirit skills.

Although releasing spirit rings could increase his combat power.

But to fight a level 24 Dugu Yan, he didn't need to go all out.

He only needed to exert a little effort!

At this moment, Ying Chengfeng looked at Dugu Yan again.

The other party was about 1.6 meters tall, taller than him.

Ying Chengfeng said in a cold tone: "I don't like looking up when I talk."

"So, sit down."

After speaking, Ying Chengfeng raised his hand slightly.

A heavy surge of spirit power scattered outward.

The density of the air seemed to increase significantly.

The density of the air increased?!

It completely subverted the understanding of everyone present.

And this density seemed to condense into a massive, invisible palm that could nonetheless be felt.

This palm pressed directly down onto Dugu Yan's shoulders.

"Crack, crack, crack~"

It sounded like the friction of bones shifting out of place.

"Ah!"

Dugu Yan immediately let out a miserable scream, collapsing to the ground in an ungraceful heap.

Both of her spirit rings began to flicker on and off.

Finally, the spirit rings lost control and retreated into Dugu Yan's body.

At this moment, Ying Chengfeng walked step by step toward Dugu Yan, who was sitting on the ground.

Reaching Dugu Yan, Ying Chengfeng squatted down and looked straight into her eyes.

"Are your eyes naturally green?"

This was very important to Ying Chengfeng.

Because he wanted to study Yu Feiyan's Martial Soul and change it as much as possible.

And the Dugu Yan before him was a perfect experimental subject.

However, Dugu Yan had not expected Ying Chengfeng to ask such a question.

She pursed her lips and looked toward her grandfather, Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, wore a look of heartache and helplessness.

Dugu Bo dared not act rashly.

Ying Chengfeng spoke to Dugu Yan once more: "Answer my question."

"Yes," Dugu Yan said, feeling humiliated.

From the time she was a child, this was the first time she had ever been bullied like this.

Her grandfather was a Title Douluo; everyone treated her with the utmost respect.

Even the nobles were no exception.

Yet now, she was being bullied by a boy who looked a few years younger than her.

It was an indelible stain on her life!

Upon hearing her reply, Ying Chengfeng fell into deep thought.

After a while, Ying Chengfeng continued to ask: "Do you feel like there is something wrong with your eyes?"

"For instance... some kind of vitality?"

Dugu Yan could not understand him at all and said with an embarrassed expression, "I don't know."

Ying Chengfeng showed a look of resignation; he had never liked using his brain much to begin with.

He preferred communicating with smart people, as it saved him a lot of trouble, but it was clear that Dugu Yan was not smart enough.

Ying Chengfeng simply looked at Dugu Bo and asked: "Does your poison possess vitality? How do you achieve that?"

However, Dugu Bo also wore an embarrassed expression.

What kind of ridiculous questions were these? They were far too profound!

Dugu Bo walked toward Dugu Yan, helped her up, and said: "You win. The Herb Garden is yours."

Having said that, he prepared to leave with Dugu Yan.

Ying Chengfeng did not press his advantage.

However, he had not yet figured out the problem, so he naturally could not let them leave.

Ying Chengfeng then said: "You grandfather and granddaughter are deeply poisoned. Are you really going to leave?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately stopped in his tracks.

The look he gave Ying Chengfeng was filled with suspicion.

Dugu Bo knew his granddaughter had been affected by toxins since birth;

But how could he, the dignified Poison Douluo, be poisoned himself?

"Child, you are spouting nonsense!"

Ying Chengfeng shrugged and looked at Dugu Bo, saying: "The stronger your soul power, the stronger the poison becomes."

Hearing this from Ying Chengfeng, Dugu Bo scoffed: "If my poison weren't strong, how could I be called the Poison Douluo?"

Ying Chengfeng shook his head: "You have absorbed many poison-attribute soul rings. Your poison possesses vitality, but it is not something you can control."

"Furthermore, a portion of this poison's vitality has been passed down to your descendants."

Dugu Bo frowned: "What are you trying to say?"

"Lend me your granddaughter for a few days of research," Ying Chengfeng said indifferently.

Dugu Bo's face turned extremely ugly.

"You go too far! You wanted to take the Herb Garden, and now you want to take my granddaughter too?"

He looked toward the Azure Luan Elder, his attitude suggesting he would rather perish together than agree to this.

Behind Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan felt a sense of extreme humiliation.

She burst into tears.

This was too much bullying!

"Grandfather, I don't want to be studied! Please, take me away, okay?" Dugu Yan was truly aggrieved now.

Ying Chengfeng looked at Dugu Yan and said: "If this poison of yours isn't cured, you won't live past thirty."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, Dugu Bo.

To her surprise, her grandfather actually wore a look of sorrow.

Could it be that she really wouldn't live past thirty?

Ying Chengfeng continued: "If you cooperate with my research, I will help you cure the poison."

Come to think of it, this Dugu Yan was quite strange.

He remembered that in the original story, her poison was actually broken by Tang San's Realgar Wine?!

That was simply too farcical.

Was Realgar Wine really such an incredible thing?

However, Dugu Yan's poison was truly trash.

A poison that could be broken by Realgar Wine was not difficult to treat.

At this moment, Dugu Yan hesitated for a few seconds before looking at her grandfather.

Dugu Bo also looked at Ying Chengfeng and said, "Can you really cure Yan Yan?"

"It's not difficult. I just need to neutralize the activity of the toxins in her body and then use soul power to force them out," Ying Chengfeng said indifferently.

Dugu Bo frowned and asked, "Then how do you neutralize the activity of the toxins in her body?"

Ying Chengfeng looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "Increase the cellular activity within your own bodies; they will automatically neutralize the toxin activity."

"There is a second method, though it is much more difficult. However, this method will make you both stronger."

"But..." Ying Chengfeng stopped mid-sentence.
