Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

"Are you two planning to leave just like that?"

Amid the billowing green mist, a figure walked over. Behind him stood a massive serpent—it was clearly his Martial Soul Avatar.

"Oh, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor? Poison Douluo? Dugu Bo."

With such a flashy setup and color scheme, it was obviously Dugu Bo.

"You've turned my territory into a complete mess. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, carefully studying Chen Ping'an and Bi Ji. He could not discern either of their levels and did not dare attack rashly.

The destruction here had already surpassed what an ordinary Douluo could cause.

"We were indeed in the wrong. How about lending us your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Chen Ping'an immediately turned the tables. This mere Dugu Bo was no match for him anyway, and these poisons had no effect on him whatsoever.

They would have even less effect on Bi Ji.

Besides, Dugu Bo was a good person. Taking him in as a lackey was not a bad choice. He would not need to personally handle trivial matters in the future.

"Hmph, how arrogant. How could I allow you to lay hands on my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, but he still did not dare make a move.

Chen Ping'an said calmly, "You don't want your granddaughter to die young from poison, do you?"

"Can you cure my poison?"

Dugu Bo looked as though he had seen hope.

The harm brought about by the poison in his body was simply too great.

If his granddaughter's poison flared up now, she likely would not have many days left to live.

Chen Ping'an nodded. "Your poison is naturally easy to cure, but..."

Dugu Bo hurriedly said, "If you can cure my poison, I'll agree to any condition you have!"

"Easy enough. Your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is quite nice."

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible." Dugu Bo rejected him without a second thought.

"If you're unwilling to cure me, then die."

"Seventh Soul—"

Before Dugu Bo could finish—

A terrifying pressure descended upon him. Under that pressure, he was forced flat onto the ground, unable to move.

He could not even release a soul skill.

"A mere level ninety-two and you dare act so arrogantly."

Chen Ping'an crouched before Dugu Bo and smiled. "Now there's another condition. Not only must you give me the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, you must also become my lackey."

"Of course, not only can I cure your poison, I can cure your granddaughter's poison as well, ensuring that your family will never again suffer from the effects of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."

Although Chen Ping'an's terms were harsh, being able to cure both grandfather and granddaughter of their poison made them worth considering.

"Fine."

Dugu Bo struggled to force out a single word.

Only after he agreed did the invisible pressure vanish.

Dugu Bo had originally wanted to make one last desperate attempt.

But...

Chen Ping'an was too strong.

Dugu Bo had no choice but to bow his head.

Dugu Bo asked again, "Can you truly cure the poison in my granddaughter?"

He himself did not mind, but his granddaughter was still young and highly talented.

Yet she was destined to die young because of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison he had passed down to her.

That was what he least wanted to see.

His granddaughter was only twenty and still had a wonderful future ahead of her. Moreover, before Dugu Yan, he had already experienced the death of loved ones.

He did not want such a thing to happen again, but he was powerless to stop it.

He had spent his life playing with poison, yet he could do nothing about the deadly poison in his own body.

"With poison as weak as yours, I can resolve it with a flick of my hand."

Bi Ji stepped forward and lightly tapped the air before his forehead. A flash of emerald-green light passed by.

Dugu Bo only felt a wave of relief. The poison that had plagued him for years was cleared away so easily.

His eyes widened as he stared at Bi Ji in disbelief.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison that had tormented him for decades had been resolved just like that.

It felt like a dream, far too unreal.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, climbed to his feet, and clasped his fists as he bowed to Chen Ping'an. "From this day onward, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to obey Your Excellency's commands!"

Chen Ping'an nodded. "Mm. Lead the way. Take us directly to your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an excellent place, especially because of the herbs surrounding it.

Once he captured Ah Yin, he would plant her near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Along the way, Dugu Bo's thoughts churned endlessly. He could not figure out which faction these two belonged to.

Their terrifying strength was one thing, but they could even cure his poison so casually.

"Your Excellency, could the one beside you be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?"

Dugu Bo glanced at the Emerald Swan and immediately sensed the aura of a soul beast, one at the hundred-thousand-year level.

"That's right. Both are. One is a hundred thousand years old, and the other is five hundred and eighty thousand years old."

When Chen Ping'an mentioned five hundred and eighty thousand years, Dugu Bo was completely stunned.

He had heard of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but he had only seen scattered records of five-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year soul beasts in ancient books. He had never expected one to truly exist.

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo asked, "With such terrifying healing abilities, could she be from the legendary Emerald Swan clan?"

Chen Ping'an nodded. "Correct. Unfortunately, there's no prize."

Dugu Bo: "..."

A five-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year soul beast was enough to shatter his worldview, leaving him somewhat distracted along the way.

Still, they arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Let her recover properly here first. She can eat any of the herbs here, but don't pull them out by the roots."

Chen Ping'an looked at the Emerald Swan. Though she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had been violated by that powerful man and had suffered considerable harm.

Both her mind and body bore wounds.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not have been more suitable.

"Alright."

Bi Ji gave Chen Ping'an a slight smile, then led the Emerald Swan away to find a suitable place for her, as well as herbs suited to her needs.

"Dugu Bo, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Not even you may casually use the herbs within it. If you discover anyone intruding into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, kill them immediately."

Thinking that Tang San would find this place later, Chen Ping'an made arrangements in advance.

Tang San was, after all, a Child of Destiny. He might stumble into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by sheer chance. He could not allow so many herbs to be squandered by him.

Dugu Bo respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Excellency."

"And my granddaughter's poison..."

"Don't worry. Your poison is nothing much. When the time comes, bring your granddaughter to Skywater Academy, and I'll cure her."

Bi Ji walked over.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Dugu Bo showed particular respect toward this five-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year soul beast.

A single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was enough to incite countless Titled Douluo to fight over it, let alone a five-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year soul beast.

With strength like hers, she could probably slap him to death with one hand.
