Heaven Dou City!
This is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is the most prosperous place in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo owns a courtyard covering a considerable area inside this Heaven Dou City.
However, because he needs to suppress the severe poison, he has lived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well year-round and rarely returns to his courtyard in Heaven Dou City.
Today, thanks to Lu Chen, the severe poison inside his body has already been partially neutralized.
He does not need to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well every single moment.
Therefore, Dugu Bo led Lu Chen and returned to this courtyard in Heaven Dou City.
Of course, there is also another reason, because Dugu Bo did not want the secret of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to be exposed while simultaneously wanting to make Lu Chen feel his importance.
That is why he brought him back to his own home.
The Dugu Mansion!
After Dugu Bo returned home, he had the domestic servants go out onto the street to quickly buy some dishes to go with wine.
As for himself, he went to the wine cellar and carried out a jar of wine that he had brewed himself. This is a good thing; the snakes, insects, and medicinal herbs soaked in the wine were all personally caught and gathered by him.
Drinking a cup can nourish the tendons and bones, strengthen the body, and it is a top-grade medicinal wine.
Normally, Dugu Bo could not bear to take it out!
At this moment, in order to treat Lu Chen, Dugu Bo also emptied out his family's reserves.
He poured a cup for Lu Chen and poured a cup for himself.
Raising his wine cup, Dugu Bo spoke enthusiastically:
"Brother Lan Chen, hurry and taste this. This is the wine the old man brewed myself, and last time Prince Xue Xing wanted some, the old man couldn't bear to give any."
"Today, to celebrate our two brothers getting to know each other, we will drink this entire jar of wine."
Under Dugu Bo's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Chen also raised his wine cup.
Logically speaking, he is only ten years old, and at this age he should not drink alcohol.
Yet with his physical fitness, drinking a little wine poses no major problem.
Lu Chen still used that low voice and said:
"Many thanks to Brother Dugu for the hospitality, then this younger brother will not stand on ceremony."
The words falling, Lu Chen raised the wine cup and brought it to his lips, tilted his head back, and poured the wine liquor into his mouth.
The crisp, clear wine liquor slid down his throat and into his belly.
It made his belly feel warm all over.
There are also wisps of faint energy gradually dispersing from the abdomen position, spreading to the five viscera and six bowels, and the four limbs and hundred bones.
It nourishes the tendons and bones of his entire body!
This medicinal wine is truly good!
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly:
"Brother Dugu's wine is indeed good wine!"
Dugu Bo also revealed an arrogant expression. The wine he personally brewed, he naturally knows is good wine.
Then Dugu Bo filled another cup for Lu Chen:
"Haha, as long as Brother Lan Chen likes it, today we will not stop until we are drunk."
The two of them drank a cup from each other, and soon drank half a jar of wine.
The atmosphere gradually grew warm and lively!
Seeing that the timing was about right, Dugu Bo looked at Lu Chen's disguised face and tentatively asked:
"Brother, given the relationship between us two brothers, why don't you drop your disguise? It is fine for you to be cautious outside, but at Big Brother's place, what is there to hold back?"
Although Lu Chen drank quite a bit of wine, his physical fitness is strong and his metabolic capacity is good, so he was not drunk at all.
At this moment, hearing the inquiry, he feigned grief and indignation and said:
"Big Brother does not know, but I have a potential enemy. Back then he not only bullied me, but even more so bullied my parents, causing me to harbor a deep, gnawing hatred for him."
"It's a pity that his strength is formidable, and I am not his match. Changing my appearance over these years has also been to evade this person."
"Big Brother must forgive me. Before I have the strength to oppose that enemy, I dare not show myself in my true face."
These words spoken are half true and half false.
Lu Chen truly has an enemy, and that is the father-and-son pair of Tang Hao and Tang San. This father and son seized his work-study student quota and bullied his parents, causing him to hate them so much that his teeth itch.
Yet hiding his true face is actually because he is too young, and a Six-Ring Soul Emperor under ten years old is simply too heaven-defying and shocking.
This cannot be exposed lightly, otherwise he would have no peace for the rest of his days.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said with an air of shouldering it all:
"Brother Lan Chen's enemy is my enemy. I wonder what strength that enemy of yours has?"
"As a Titled Douluo, this old man also has few rivals on this continent. With this old man's strength, it should be enough to deal with that enemy of yours!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen thought of Tang Hao. He shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid that won't do. That person possesses formidable strength and cannot be compared to ordinary Titled Douluos. Big Brother Dugu might not necessarily be able to beat him."
What Lu Chen said was very tactful.
Dugu Bo has simply no comparison in front of Tang Hao.
Listening to this, Dugu Bo felt a shock in his heart. He is a dignified Titled Douluo, yet even he cannot deal with this enemy.
That can only be an even more powerful Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo fell somewhat silent. This Lan Chen is actually able to provoke a Titled Douluo. One must know that on the continent, Titled Douluos can be counted on one's fingers, and each one is an existence that countless people look up to.
This Lan Chen's background is even more mysterious than he had imagined.
Dugu Bo gave Lu Chen a deep look. He completely stopped mentioning the matter from just now, nor did he remain obsessed with seeing Lu Chen's true face clearly.
He continued to exchange cups with Lu Chen.
Until the wine liquor in the wine jar gradually hit the bottom.
Dugu Bo was reeking of alcohol, and speaking as if venting his grievances, he began:
"Brother, I won't hide it from you. The poison I am afflicted with comes from my own martial soul. Although the soul masters of our Jade Phosphorus Serpent lineage possess a fearsome severe poison, this severe poison is also something that harms others and oneself."
"The severe poison this old man is afflicted with can still be suppressed using soul power, but my pitiful granddaughter Yanyan is now also tormented by the severe poison. She does not have soul power as deep as mine."
"Every time she is tormented by the severe poison, it is agonizing. Today, Brother's ability filled me with boundless pleasant surprise."
"This old man's soul power is deep, and I can still suppress the severe poison, so I am not in a hurry to completely neutralize it. However, my granddaughter cannot wait any longer."
"I want to ask Brother to make a move and first help my granddaughter neutralize the severe poison."
Hearing Dugu Bo put it this way, Lu Chen also laughed heartily and agreed:
"Big Brother's words are too overly polite. Since Big Brother and I address each other as brothers, then Big Brother's granddaughter is naturally my granddaughter."
"My own granddaughter has been poisoned with a severe poison, so I will definitely do my utmost to treat her."
"Once I recover my soul power, I will accompany Big Brother to go and treat our granddaughter."
Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Lu Chen was so straightforward, not even mentioning any conditions, which made him quite moved in his heart. Recognizing this sworn brother was truly worth it.
Dugu Bo is both righteous and evil on the continent, acting solely according to his own original intentions.
Kindnesses must be repaid, and grudges must also be repaid!
Lu Chen being so prompt and decisive also gave him the intent to forge a genuine friendship.
Dugu Bo raised his cup once more and said with a smile:
"Since Brother is willing to make a move to treat her, Big Brother will thank you here. Today you will rest here at Big Brother's place for the night, and tomorrow we will go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"My granddaughter is currently studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As long as Brother can resolve the poison on my granddaughter's body, even if I have to press my granddaughter's head down, I will make her recognize Brother as grandfather. From then on we will be one family."
"If Brother has any places where you have need of something, just give a shout. Even if Big Brother has to go through fire and water, I will surely accomplish it."
Lu Chen's smile grew increasingly rich. This is the effect he wants. With Dugu Bo going all out to make a move, hunting down an eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King is definitely not any problem at all.
He laughed and said:
"Big Brother can rest assured, this younger brother will certainly do my best."
That very evening, Lu Chen stayed right here at Dugu Bo's place.
And on the following day, Lu Chen accompanied Dugu Bo together as they headed toward the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
