Dugu Bo Swears Loyalty with His Martial Soul

"Don't worry, Yan Yan. Grandfather is here; Xin'er will be fine."

Dugu Bo offered a soft word of comfort before striding into the room. His heart trembled at the sight of Dugu Xin writhing in agony on the bed, and he quickly stepped forward to help suppress the poison.

Fortunately, Dugu Bo had already broken through to level 90. Relying on his formidable Soul Power, he forcibly pushed the toxins back down.

Even with the poison temporarily suppressed, Dugu Bo dared not relax in the slightest.

The frequency of Dugu Xin's toxic flare-ups had been increasing lately, each time more violent than the last.

If they could not find a way to eradicate the poison at its root, it was only a matter of time before Dugu Xin died.

It might be a month, or it might be three days; no one could say for sure.

Only when Dugu Xin finally fell into a deep sleep after tossing on the bed did Dugu Bo let out a sigh of relief.

"Yay! Grandfather, you're amazing! Father's illness was cured so quickly again!"

Little Dugu Yan did not yet understand what it meant to be poisoned; she only knew that her father's illness had been cured by her grandfather in an instant.

"Of course. Who do you think your grandfather is?"

Dugu Bo smiled in agreement, though the smile at the corners of his mouth looked somewhat bitter. His eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at his granddaughter beside him.

If the poison could not be undone, Dugu Xin would die a sudden, violent death.

And if that were the case, Dugu Yan, who had inherited the most potent strain of the poison, would only die a more miserable death than her father.

Dugu Bo felt his heart turn to ash. What kind of sin has my Dugu family committed? Why must the heavens bring such heavy retribution upon us?

At that moment, Dugu Yan's soft, sweet voice pulled him back to reality. "Grandfather, is Father feeling very uncomfortable right now?"

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile, not knowing how to explain it to his granddaughter. Could he simply tell this little girl the cruel fate of their family?

No, he could not do it.

At the very least, he had to give her a complete childhood.

Dugu Yan tugged at the corner of Dugu Bo's robe. "Grandfather, Mr. Zhang at the teahouse said that if you feel uncomfortable, blowing on your forehead will make it better. I want to blow on Father's forehead—do you think that's okay?"

Looking at his innocent granddaughter, Dugu Bo fell silent.

After a long while, he nodded. "...Alright."

Having received her grandfather's approval, Dugu Yan immediately rushed to the bedside, eager to help, and began to gently blow on Dugu Xin's forehead with all the seriousness of a professional.

Whether it actually had an effect, no one could say.

A short while later, Dugu Xin truly opened his eyes.

Dugu Yan turned her head in delight to show off to Dugu Bo. "Yay! Grandfather, look, look! It really worked!"

"Mr. Zhang at the teahouse didn't lie!"

Dugu Xin asked weakly, "Yan Yan, why didn't you go to school today?"

Dugu Yan turned away, crossing her arms in a huff. "Hmph, Father doesn't care about me at all! I was just helping you blow on your forehead so seriously, and the first thing you ask when you wake up is why I didn't go to school!"

As expected, every human cub hated school.

Dugu Xin was caught between laughter and tears, and he hurriedly offered comfort. "Alright, alright, Yan Yan, it's Father's fault. Thank you for your help just now!"

"Hehe, you're welcome!"

A child's mood shifted quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Yan was beaming again. She looked at Dugu Xin earnestly. "Father, if you feel uncomfortable next time, remember to tell Yan Yan. I'll blow on it for you again, and then you won't be uncomfortable anymore."

At this moment, Dugu Xin also fell silent.

After a long pause, he nodded bitterly. "Alright... Yan Yan can blow on it for Father next time."

He knew all too well that his poison had reached a terminal stage.

The unintentional words of a child were the most capable of shattering the facade an adult struggled to maintain.

Dugu Bo could no longer hold it together.

The dignified seventy-year-old quasi-Titled Douluo was now streaming with tears, the sorrow he had suppressed for half a lifetime collapsing all at once.

Tears and snot ran down his face.

Dugu Yan was instantly flustered, knitting her brows like a little adult. "Oh my, Grandfather, why are you crying too!"

"Honestly, neither of you is easy to worry about. Grandfather, please stop crying, okay? Yan Yan will blow on your forehead too!"

Dugu Yan walked over to Dugu Bo's side.

Because Dugu Bo was tall, Dugu Yan couldn't reach even on her tiptoes, so she specifically fetched a small stool, stepped onto it, and blew gently.

A moment later, Dugu Bo stood up abruptly.

No, he absolutely refused to just wait for death.

He absolutely did not want to watch his precious Yan Yan lose her father.

He absolutely did not want to bury his own child.

But could he truly find a way to undo the poison?

Dugu Bo's mind suddenly thought of someone.

Young Master!

"Yan Yan, can you take good care of Father at home? Grandfather has something to attend to and needs to go out."

Dugu Yan immediately put her hands on her hips, her imposing manner full, and replied, "Okay! With Yan Yan here, no one can bully Father!"

Dugu Bo smiled and rubbed Dugu Yan's forehead.

This journey, life and death were uncertain.

This journey, the outcome was unknown.

But he had to go this time!

Because only by doing so did he have a chance to firmly grasp the last sliver of hope!

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

Poseinan, having absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, slowly awoke.

"Ah! Little Nan Nan, you're finally awake!"

Sea Witch was somewhat delighted and eagerly asked, "How was it? How much did this Immortal Herb improve you?"

"Hahaha, the improvement in Spiritual Power is immense. I feel terrifyingly strong right now!"

Poseinan opened his eyes, and the world before him instantly became much clearer.

Not only that, but the significant increase in Spiritual Power was the most important thing.

Along with it, even his perception ability had been elevated by a notch.

The slightest rustle of grass within twenty meters now could barely escape his perception.

Poseinan's brow suddenly furrowed, "Hmm... someone's coming?"

The moment he turned around silently.

Dugu Bo knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face, "I beg Young Master to save my Dugu family."

"As long as Young Master is willing to act, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to pledge eternal loyalty to Young Master."

"I can swear with my Martial Soul!"

Swear with my Martial Soul?

As soon as these words were spoken, Sea Witch's expression instantly changed. Her previous nonchalance vanished, replaced by a measure of respect for the person before her.

One must know that swearing with one's Martial Soul was the most solemn oath in the entire Soul Master World!

Once broken, it would truly manifest and affect one's entire life!

It could be said that no one dared to use a Martial Soul oath to deceive others.

Poseinan feigned ignorance, "Speak, what do you need me to help you with?"

He was naturally overjoyed to be able to take Dugu Bo under his wing this way.

After all, although Dugu Bo's individual combat strength was not strong, in group battles.

Dugu Bo was almost the strongest existence on the entire Douluo Continent.

If cultivated well in the future, he could even be kept as a Divine Servant, which would be quite good.

Upon hearing Poseinan speak, Dugu Bo immediately laid bare his family's poison and inheritance, without the slightest reservation.

It was fortunate that it was Poseinan.

If it were anyone else, even hearing a single word of the Dugu family's secret would have resulted in Dugu Bo chopping them into mincemeat.

After all, this concerned the lives of his entire family, and no one dared to be careless about it.

After speaking, Dugu Bo knelt again, his attitude extremely sincere, "Please Young Master, lend your aid!"

"I, Dugu Bo, swear with my Martial Soul, as long as Young Master helps my Dugu family resolve the poison, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to go through fire and water for Young Master, forever and ever, never violating this oath!"
