"If I, Dugu Bo, dare to break my oath, may lightning strike me and may I never break through half a step for eternity!"
Dugu Bo's words were profound and incredibly heavy.
Everyone present was deeply moved.
The Sea Witch whispered, "Little Nan Nan, why don't we help him? He looks quite pitiful."
Poseinan looked at the scene with satisfaction and patted his shoulder, "Alright, stop kneeling. Get up, I'll help you."
For someone born in the God Realm, removing Dugu Bo's poison was not difficult.
Why not agree to something that was so easy to do?
It would also allow him to completely win over a Titled Douluo.
After all, in the God Realm, he had already seen countless ways to resolve Dugu Bo's poison.
Upon hearing Poseinan's agreement, Dugu Bo stood up again, his eyes filled with excitement, "Yes, Young Master. This old man is eternally grateful!"
Poseinan waved his hand, "Lead the way. Let's go now."
Dugu Bo was instantly overwhelmed by immense joy. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Young Master, please follow me."
He had initially thought that to get Poseinan to act, he would at least have to prove his worth first.
He never expected Poseinan to agree so readily!
The Young Master is truly a magnanimous person!
Recalling how he had almost attacked the Young Master when they first met, Dugu Bo wished he could stab himself.
Damn it, I'm truly not human!
How could I have thought of attacking such a kind person as the Young Master?
Poseinan, walking behind Dugu Bo, naturally had no idea what Dugu Bo was thinking at that moment.
However, even if he knew, he would probably just smile.
Dugu Manor.
Upon arriving at the manor, the three of them were led in. Dugu Bo took the lead and requested to enter a room first, intending to speak with Dugu Xin and tidy up, so as not to frighten the Young Master.
After all, Dugu Xin's appearance when his poison acted up, with a purple face and convulsions, was truly terrifying.
While Poseinan and the Sea Witch were waiting.
A clear greeting suddenly sounded from behind them, "Oh, who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
Poseinan turned around.
He saw a little girl with purple hair framing her face and lively eyes standing there.
She wore a soft, puffy dress and had a head of delicate purple short hair. Her big, dark eyes were clear and wary as she tilted her small head, scrutinizing the two of them.
She was exquisitely carved and endearingly cute, a perfect little dumpling that evoked affection.
Wow, what a cute little girl!
She'd probably cry for a long time if I punched her, right?
Poseinan's heart tickled, and he couldn't resist the urge to tease her. A mischievous smile curved his lips, "Me? I'm your new big brother. Your daddy doesn't want you anymore."
"You're lying!"
Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks and retorted indignantly, her small face flushing slightly, "Daddy loves Yan Yan the most, he would never abandon me!"
Poseinan then pretended to be serious, raising his hand to point at the Sea Witch beside him, "But it's true. Look at this beautiful older sister, she'll be your new mommy from now on. Isn't she pretty?"
The Sea Witch smiled helplessly and went along with his jest, her eyes curving as she gently chuckled in agreement.
Dugu Yan clenched her small fists and stood on tiptoe, glaring at Poseinan, "You're talking nonsense! I don't have a new mommy! Daddy only has eyes for Yan Yan, he wouldn't just find someone else!"
She huffily turned to look at the gently smiling Sea Witch. Although there was a hint of shy curiosity in her eyes, she forced a fierce expression, "Pretty older sister, you're not allowed to help bad people lie!"
"Otherwise... otherwise, I'll have Grandfather tie you up with Poison Vines!"
The Sea Witch was amused by the little girl's fierce yet adorable demeanor and crouched down to her level, "Oh my, so the little girl is protecting her daddy so fiercely? Sister isn't a bad person, and I'm not trying to take your daddy, okay?"
"R-really?"
Dugu Yan's resolve wavered instantly. She tilted her head slightly, her soft demeanor losing its earlier sharpness.
Poseinan watched with amusement and was about to tease her further when the room door gently opened.
Dugu Bo strode out and happened to witness this scene. He quickly stepped forward and coughed lightly, "Yan Yan, don't be rude! Quickly greet the Young Master and this senior!"
"Young Master? Senior?"
Dugu Yan blinked her big eyes, a little confused, but seeing her grandfather's serious expression.
She immediately put away her temper, pursed her lips obediently, and nervously fiddled with the hem of her puffy skirt, murmuring an apology, "I-I'm sorry... Yan Yan shouldn't have been fierce just now."
Her soft and obedient demeanor was a complete contrast, creating an overwhelming cute effect.
Poseinan waved his hand, smiling calmly, "It's alright. Children are innocent and straightforward, which is quite endearing."
Then, his tone shifted, his expression turning calm and earnest: "Old Monster, what is the situation inside?"
"Reporting to Young Master, Xin'er has just steadied his mind and is ready."
Dugu Bo's expression was grave and sincere as he stepped aside to lead the way: "I ask that Young Master move to the inner chamber; I must trouble you to save him."
The group walked into the room.
On the bed.
Dugu Xin's complexion was a dull, bruised purple, his lips ash-gray, his breathing shallow, and his brows still knit with lingering pain.
One look was enough to see he had been gnawed upon by potent toxins for years.
Even with mental preparation, Sea Witch could not help but feel a jolt of shock at the sight.
This poison was truly ruthless, having ground the man down until he was on the verge of exhaustion.
Poseinan swept a glance over Dugu Xin's body and pointed out bluntly:
"This poison of your Dugu Family cycles through the generations, passed from father to son; the further down the lineage it goes, the more violent the toxicity becomes."
Dugu Bo shuddered, bowing repeatedly: "Yes! Young Master has a discerning eye! It has tormented our clan for generations, with no way to break it!"
"Does Young Master have a way to break it?"
Dugu Bo looked at Poseinan with expectant eyes, placing all his hopes upon the Young Master.
If even the Young Master had no solution.
Then their Dugu Family was truly beyond saving!
"Simple. It is not difficult to undo."
Poseinan's tone was nonchalant as he walked slowly to the bedside.
He lifted a fingertip, and a wisp of clear, limpid water element slowly swirled around it.
"You must prepare yourself first. His poison has reached a critical state; I must use a heavy hand, and the cost might be..."
Dugu Bo's heart trembled, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master, please proceed with confidence. I can bear any cost."
Poseinan stated truthfully: "I will first use Pure Water to help him purge the toxins from his body, but during this process, his poison-based cultivation will certainly be completely undone. Can you accept that?"
Pure Water was a unique ability he possessed as the Son of Sea God.
It was the purest water in the world, capable of purifying any toxin or evil influence in existence.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of relief. He had thought it would be some grave price.
Was it not just the loss of poison cultivation?
In any case, Dugu Xin's strength was not high, and it would not be difficult to cultivate it back after it was dispersed.
He once again bowed solemnly and pleaded: "Please, Young Master, proceed without worry!"
"Very well."
Poseinan's fingertip, wreathed in water elements, gently touched the center of Dugu Xin's brow.
The gentle Pure Water seeped slowly from his brow into his meridians.
Dugu Xin's body on the bed trembled slightly at first.
Then, his tightly locked brows slowly smoothed out, and the bone-chilling pain throughout his body receded rapidly like a receding tide.
His dull, purple-tinged skin gradually returned to a healthy, warm glow, and even his shallow breathing became steady and strong.
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red-rimmed, not daring to breathe for fear of disturbing the healing.
Dugu Yan leaned against the bedside, staring unblinkingly at Dugu Xin's face, her small hands clenched into tight balls:
"Grandfather... will Father not be in pain anymore from now on?"
