The Great Group Leader! Dugu Yan Requests!

"Grandfather, has the anger in your heart finally subsided?"

Dugu Yan stood to the side, watching her grandfather's flushed, triumphant expression as she tentatively asked.

"Subsided? Hmph!"

Dugu Bo slammed his teacup onto the table with a sharp, crisp clatter.

"I merely stepped on a few yapping stray dogs; it is hardly a matter of consequence."

"A down-and-out academy that crawled out from some godforsaken corner actually dared to run wild on the grounds of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"That brat whose ribs I broke even tried to deceive me with the ridiculous excuse of being able to cure my poison. Does he truly take me for a three-year-old child so easily fooled?"

Recalling the comical sight of Tang San hanging in mid-air, his face purple with strain yet still stubbornly shouting, "I can cure your poison," Dugu Bo let out a cold, derisive laugh.

He had spent half his life refining this Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, which was unrivaled across the world. Even he himself was at his wit's end, forced to rely on his profound cultivation every day to suppress the poison's backlash.

A wet-behind-the-ears brat actually dared to speak such nonsense before him.

Because of this, he hadn't even had the interest to ask another question, kicking the boy away like a dead dog.

Listening to her grandfather's contemptuous description, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Dugu Yan's mind.

Her beautiful eyes lit up with startling intensity.

Curing the poison?

That's right!

That mud-covered Tang San was surely a boastful liar, full of hot air.

But the Chat Group's leader was completely different!

The leader knew earth-shattering secrets capable of sparking wars, such as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince being the Spirit Hall's Young Master, and could casually dredge up the long-buried romantic history of the Spirit Hall's Grand Pontiff, Qian Daoliu.

Was there anything in this world that the mysterious leader did not know?

Since he could perceive the past and foresee the future, he must possess a brilliant method to resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within her grandfather's body!

Inside Heaven Dou City, within a heavily guarded, luxurious mansion.

Dugu Yan listened to her grandfather's scornful mockery of the Shrek group, nodding in agreement on the surface while a storm raged in her heart.

She knew her grandfather's physical condition all too well.

Whenever the weather turned rainy, her grandfather would endure agony akin to ten thousand snakes biting his heart; that was the backlash of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison seeping into his bone marrow.

It wasn't just her grandfather; even she had recently begun to feel a faint, stinging pain deep within her meridians whenever she circulated her soul power.

If it were truly as that Tang San said—that the poison had entered the marrow—wouldn't their Dugu family be finished?

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, forcing down the panic in her heart.

"Grandfather, I am a bit tired after all the commotion today. I would like to return to my room to rest."

Dugu Yan found an excuse and spoke softly.

Dugu Bo waved his hand with a face full of affection, offering a few gentle words of instruction.

Dugu Yan hurried through the long corridor and returned to her elegantly decorated boudoir.

The moment the door closed, she immediately locked it.

Her body leaned weakly against the door panel, her chest heaving violently.

Without hesitation, she focused her mind and summoned the magical Chat Group interface.

Looking at the flashing nickname of the leader at the top of the interface, Dugu Yan bit her red lip and tapped her finger rapidly in the void.

[Poison Fairy]: "Are you there, Leader? May I ask if there is a way to resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

After the message was sent, she walked nervously to the table, her hand trembling slightly as she poured a glass of water.

This was her final hope.

Far away in Spirit City.

Inside the solemn and majestic Pope Palace, only a few eternal lamps flickered.

Bibi Dong sat high upon the throne that symbolized supreme power, her hand gripping the gem-encrusted scepter that represented the Pope's dignity.

Her stunning face held an air of immense pressure amidst the interplay of light and shadow, and she was currently watching the virtual light screen before her with great interest.

Seeing the request for help sent by [Poison Fairy], Bibi Dong raised her delicate brows.

"Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

Bibi Dong parted her red lips, her voice not loud, yet it echoed ethereally throughout the great hall.

This poison was unique on the continent; aside from that old monster, no one else could possibly be afflicted by it.

Bibi Dong did not hesitate for a moment and spoke immediately.

"Gui Mei."

As the words fell, the shadows in the center of the grand hall twisted.

A mass of black mist rapidly coalesced into a human figure, kneeling on one knee with a respectful demeanor.

"Your Holiness, your subordinate is here."

Bibi Dong's gaze remained fixed on the light screen, not even lifting her head.

"Immediately send word to our secret agents in Heaven Dou City. Investigate the recent movements of that old fellow Dugu Bo, especially those around him. I want every detail, no matter how small, reported back at once."

Gui Mei did not ask a single extra word; after receiving the order, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.

The intelligence network of Spirit Hall spanned every corner of the continent, and its efficiency was astonishing.

In less than the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, Gui Mei reappeared.

"Reporting to the Pope, news has arrived from Heaven Dou City. Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, encountered a group calling themselves Shrek Academy today, and Dugu Bo personally intervened to teach them a lesson."

Upon hearing this intelligence, a flicker of realization flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the light screen.

[Pope]: "The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison is unique to your family in this entire world. Since you call yourself Poison Fairy and are plagued by this very poison, you must be Dugu Bo's precious granddaughter, Dugu Yan, right?"

As soon as this message appeared, the previously quiet Chat Group instantly exploded.

[Little Witch]: "Wow! So she's the granddaughter of a Title Douluo; no wonder she's called Poison Fairy. Although Poison Douluo isn't the highest level, his poison techniques are impossible to guard against. He's a dangerous person!"

[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "Even someone from the Dugu family has been pulled in. The Group Leader's reach is truly growing larger; I wonder who else will be brought in later."

[Fragrant Fox]: "Dugu Yan? Your grandfather is the ancestor of poison himself, known for having the deadliest poison in the world. If even he can't cure it, you actually came to the group to ask?"

[My Son Is Not A Bastard]: "Could it be that there is some hidden secret to this Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

Seeing her identity laid bare by the high and mighty Pope, Dugu Yan decided there was no point in hiding it any longer.

[Poison Fairy]: "That's right, I am Dugu Yan. Although my grandfather's poison techniques are formidable, this specific poison is too tyrannical and has been backfiring on us. Now, both my grandfather and I are suffering deeply from it. In my desperation, I have no choice but to seek help from the all-knowing Group Leader."

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's East Palace.

Inside the spacious and luxurious hall, Qin Feng sat brazenly in a grand armchair.

He toyed with an exquisite celadon teacup in his hand, watching the lively scene in the group with a smile at the corners of his eyes.

Qian Renxue stood with her arms crossed over her chest, looking down at him from above.

"You even brought Dugu Bo's granddaughter in? That Old Poison is not someone to be trifled with. If you give her reckless advice, be careful he doesn't track it back to you."

Qin Feng shrugged, completely unconcerned.

"It's fate that they joined the group. I've always been a person who enjoys helping others."
