Little Snake: Even the Snakes in the Earthen Jar Know the Young Master Loves Whale Rubber!

According to his father's description, the Seven-Colored Poison Pill was the place that held all the toxins in the body. In the future, when he used Poison Techniques, the toxins would no longer condense from his Soul Power, but from the Seven-Colored Poison Pill.

This way, the toxins would not come into contact with his body, and they would not poison the Soul Master.

It was like a venomous snake. A venomous snake's meat was not poisonous. The only poisonous parts of its entire body were some of its poison glands and venom sacs, along with its fangs.

The purpose of cultivating a Seven-Colored Poison Pill should also lie in this: condensing all the body's toxins.

But this Seven-Colored Poison Pill was absolutely not the same as a Pill Bead.

A Pill Bead was similar to the Inner Core of a Serpent Soul Beast. It was part of the Soul Beast's strength, and besides poison, it also contained Soul Power and physical energy.

Combined with the cultivation that came after becoming a Titled Douluo, Dugu Feng felt that the Seven-Colored Poison Pill was similar to a Poison Attribute Soul Core, and also similar to a Soul Beast's venom sac.

It used this Poison Attribute Soul Core as the vessel for poison.

That made sense.

However, for now, it was only a guess. In the future, it would depend on his own cultivation.

"Dad, I'll work hard to cultivate at the academy!"

Dugu Feng had gotten the answer he wanted, and seeing that his father had fallen silent again, he left the Ancestral Hall.

Then he saw Little Snake waiting for him. Little Snake's short figure stood beneath an ancient tree, his stubby shadow making Dugu Feng think he was a stone block.

"Young Master, please have a meal!" Little Snake said in a calm tone.

It was clearly something that could be said with great warmth, so why did it sound so flat coming from Little Snake's mouth?

"It's not serpent meat and fried scorpions, is it?" Dugu Feng asked.

"No. There's wine and meat, and also the Whale Rubber Young Master likes to eat. Old Snake just got it. Five thousand years old!" Little Snake said solemnly.

Dugu Feng was furious. "Who spread the rumor that I like eating Whale Rubber?"

"Old Scorpion went to see you last time. After he came back, he told Old Snake. Old Snake is a chatterbox. Now even the snakes in the Earthen Jar know Young Master likes eating Whale Rubber!" Little Snake said calmly.

Even the snakes in the Earthen Jar knew?

Damn it, Old Scorpion, you really didn't do a single decent thing.

And you too, Old Snake. What a dog.

Anger was anger.

But for the sake of five-thousand-year Whale Rubber, he had to eat this meal.

Dugu Feng followed Little Snake to his room.

Little Snake briskly took a Food Box out of his Storage Soul Tool and set the dishes out one plate after another.

Sure enough, it was the big fish and meat he used to often send Little Snake to buy. He had known Little Snake's one-track mind could not come up with anything fancy.

Among them was also a small bowl. Inside was crystal-like Whale Rubber. Little Snake had somehow melted it down.

"Young Master, Old Snake doesn't believe you eat Whale Rubber for cultivation, but I do!" Little Snake said with a serious face.

"You're teachable!" Dugu Feng said with satisfaction, tearing into a Sichuan Peppercorn Chicken and eating in big bites.

As expected, Little Snake was the one who trusted him. He had said it before—after spending so long together, it was impossible for there to be no trust at all.

Not everyone was a shameless sort like Old Snake.

Little Snake picked up a steamed bun and nibbled it in small bites, still the same as before.

By the time Dugu Feng had almost finished all the meat on the table, Little Snake had also finished one steamed bun right on time and drunk a bowl of soup.

Dugu Feng ate that small piece of five-thousand-year Whale Rubber as well.

The Pill Bead inside his body rotated, already beginning to digest it.

"Young Master, tomorrow Old Snake and I are going to Heaven Dou Auction House. Old Snake plans to buy me a Catwoman. He said that Catwoman's body mutated during Martial Soul Awakening, and the part of her Bloodline belonging to a Soul Beast is very strong. Maybe she can withstand our Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

I've saved up quite a lot of money over the years. Young Master, I plan to buy one for you too, so that after you finish eating Whale Rubber, you won't have nowhere to vent!"

This was the first time Little Snake had said so much.

Dugu Feng, who was cultivating, widened his eyes.

"Little Snake, don't you believe me? I eat Whale Rubber for cultivation, to improve my Body Strength so I can absorb a higher-age Spirit Ring!"

"Young Master, I can believe you, but you can't wrong yourself. Wronging yourself for a long time is bad for your health!"

On Little Snake's thin face, his brows furrowed.

"Get lost! You still don't believe me!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Little Snake did not even care that this was his own room. He simply and efficiently put away the Food Box and ran out.

"Sigh, Little Snake isn't pure anymore either!"

Dugu Feng sighed.

Why doesn't anyone believe me? Once my Second Spirit Ring greatly surpasses the age limit, you'll all know I wasn't talking nonsense.

Dugu Feng simply closed his eyes and began cultivating.

He kept cultivating until Next Morning before returning to the academy.

Over the next three days, Dugu Feng observed.

He found that Ning Rongrong kept a very low profile, and even Feng Ling and Feng Li no longer provoked him.

Whether in class or cultivating in the Simulated Cultivation Field, they stayed quiet and well-behaved.

It was as if the conflict with Dugu Feng had never happened.

As for the stakes from the duel between the two sides, Ning Rongrong did not go back on her word either. After only a month, Dugu Feng received them.

When the items were handed over, there was some puzzlement in Ning Rongrong's eyes, as well as some contempt.

In her view, Dugu Feng cultivated so diligently.

He was absolutely not someone who indulged in women.

So why would he want ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber?

Could he really be someone who looked deep and reserved on the outside, but was shameless on the inside?

Ning Rongrong felt that she could not understand Dugu Feng.

No matter what she thought, Dugu Feng accepted these stakes very calmly.

He had also built up a modest little fortune.

After this matter, the two sides had almost no contact. At most, they would exchange a few polite words when they met.

Dugu Feng was perfectly happy with that.

It was just right for him to focus on cultivating.

Time drifted by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a year passed. Dugu Feng turned seven, and his Soul Power Level had also reached rank sixteen.

The energy of the two Pill Beads had already gathered to fifty-four points. Only forty-six percent remained before they were full again.

Once they split again into four, Dugu Feng would be thrilled.

On this day, at the entrance of Dugu Manor, a luxurious carriage was parked before the main gate, with a squad of knights in Royal Guard Regiment attire standing guard in front and behind it.

These knights rode elite war horses, and every one of them was a Soul Master. They could be called the elite of the elite within the Royal Guard Regiment.

Although they were waiting, not a single knight showed any impatience.

It was not until Dugu Shuo came out with Dugu Feng

that these knights revealed respectful expressions and ushered the two of them into the carriage.

The carriage moved forward.

Inside, Dugu Shuo and Dugu Feng began to talk.

"Three years ago, the Second Prince suddenly died from poisoning. Two years ago, the Third Prince likewise died from poisoning. Ever since then, every three months, I have had to enter the palace to examine the Royal Family Member for signs of poisoning. You have always been clever. Come with me this time and observe carefully. See if you can find any clues!"

A hint of thought appeared in Dugu Shuo's eyes.

"Yes, Father!" Dugu Feng's heart tightened. Three years ago—that was around the time he had just transmigrated here.

Judging by their ages, it really was around this time.

Dugu Bo had once told Tang San that when Xue Qinghe was fourteen, he poisoned the Second Prince to death, and the following year, he poisoned the Third Prince to death as well.

Dugu Feng was about the same age as Tang San, while Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue were around ten years older than Tang San.

Wasn't that exactly when he was four years old, when the Second Prince was poisoned to death?
