Dugu Bo's scalp went numb under the gaze of those eyes.
Just as he was about to make a move, he discovered that he could no longer move his body.
Countless streams of information flooded into his mind, leaving Dugu Bo slightly dazed.
Then, he felt a pair of huge hands settle on his head.
The hands tightened tighter and tighter, as though they were about to crush his skull.
Dugu Bo's gaze slowly shifted from fear to despair.
Could it be that he, a mighty Titled Douluo, was going to die here today?
Yanyan, Grandpa is going to break his promise. I can't stay with you until the end...
Dugu Bo had already repeated his final words in his heart several times, yet those huge hands still did not exert any force.
Just as he began to feel puzzled and relieved, the light and shadows around him shifted, and he returned to that little clinic.
The hands behind his head released him as well.
Dugu Bo watched as the white-haired youth walked out from behind him and returned to sit in the rocking chair.
"Calmed down?"
Yang Xiu still looked as indifferent as ever, as if nothing had happened.
He had merely wanted to test the effects of the domain he had just obtained from the chat group.
Now, it seemed the results were pretty good.
That was because Dugu Bo, this Titled Douluo, was simply too weak.
Yang Xiu did not dare unleash Infinite Void at full strength, afraid that he might accidentally kill Dugu Bo.
If he unleashed Infinite Void at full strength, Yang Xiu would only need three seconds to cram two or three hundred years' worth of useless information into Dugu Bo's mind.
That would leave him brain-dead on the spot.
After about half a minute, Dugu Bo finally regained control of his body.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yang Xiu had become completely clear.
Only then did he realize what sort of existence he had provoked.
Dugu Bo's expression was complicated. Then, he dropped to one knee.
"This old servant, Dugu Bo, is willing to swear loyalty to Master until death."
That young man had been standing behind him just now and had been fully capable of crushing his head directly.
Yet he had not done so. Clearly, he simply wanted Dugu Bo to pledge loyalty to him.
If he had been younger, he might have preferred death to serving someone.
But now that he was old, he not only cherished his life more, but also could not bear to leave his granddaughter behind.
Yang Xiu raised his brows. After thinking about it, he understood the old poison freak's train of thought.
So, he accepted his loyalty.
"Alright, get up. Don't call me Master. Call me Young Master instead."
It felt strange having such an old man call him Master.
That title was something he intended to save for his future partner!
Yang Xiu thought again of Dugu Yan, who was practically a little demon in the chat group.
He had to admit, he rather wanted to know what expression Dugu Yan would have when she learned that her grandfather had pledged loyalty to someone else.
"Yes, Young Master."
"By the way, describe that blessed land you found."
He naturally could not leave the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes for that little punk, so Yang Xiu intended to claim it first.
After all, it was the only blessed land in the Douluo World. It still held considerable value.
Dugu Bo did not try to deceive or conceal anything.
He explained in detail how he had come across the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and everything within it, leaving nothing out.
Seeing Yang Xiu fall into thought, Dugu Bo asked, "Young Master, do you know what kind of place this is?"
Yang Xiu nodded. "You old fellow really struck gold."
"If your description is accurate, then this place should be called the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Those strange plants you mentioned are immortal herbs, and they can greatly help improve one's strength."
Thinking of the pool of scalding heat and bitter cold within that blessed land, Dugu Bo felt that the name was indeed fitting.
Yang Xiu lifted his foot and headed for the door.
He spoke to Dugu Bo, who was still standing there.
"Let's go. Lead the way and take me there. If we're lucky and that immortal herb is there, the toxins in your body can be completely controlled. Your Martial Soul might even undergo an evolution."
Dugu Bo froze in disbelief upon hearing Yang Xiu's words, then immediately became overjoyed.
He did not believe that his newly acknowledged master would joke with him.
Since Yang Xiu had said it, he must be confident that he could cure the flaw in his Martial Soul.
Dugu Bo hurried over in a small trot and personally opened the door for Yang Xiu.
"Ah, Young Master, watch the threshold."
He was as obsequious as could be, looking exactly like a chief eunuch.
Dugu Bo himself did not care, but if Yang Xiu could help resolve the flaw in his granddaughter's Martial Soul, then he would have no regrets even in death.
"Big Brother Yang, are you heading out?"
Ye Lingling, who had come to earn some favor, was first stunned when she saw Dugu Bo fawning beside him.
Then she asked in surprise, "Your Excellency Dugu, why are you here? Do you know Big Brother Yang?"
Dugu Bo had a fairly close personal relationship with the Ye Family. He often brought Dugu Yan to attend the Ye Family's dinner banquets.
Thus, the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
Dugu Bo felt a little embarrassed as well. He had not expected someone he knew to catch him acting so obsequiously.
He could neither move forward nor retreat, leaving him in an awkward position.
Fortunately, Yang Xiu came to his rescue.
"Yes. Before coming to Heaven Dou City, I already knew Poison Douluo. The two of us are heading out to take care of something now."
Dugu Bo gave Yang Xiu a grateful look. At least he had not lost face in front of a junior.
Ye Lingling looked at the two of them suspiciously at first, then nodded, accepting Yang Xiu's explanation.
After chatting for a while longer, Yang Xiu and Dugu Bo headed toward Sunset Forest.
Why do I feel like Your Excellency Dugu was being a little obsequious? It must have been an illusion, right?
Ye Lingling shook off the unrealistic thought in her mind. He was a Titled Douluo.
How could he possibly humble himself before someone only fifteen or sixteen years old?
While flying, Yang Xiu took the time to check the chat group.
Even though it was mealtime, the group was as lively as ever.
The argument had long since shifted. Bibi Dong was no longer the only one being cursed at in the chat group.
Because of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong had also come under the collective attack of the group members.
If Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong could join forces at this moment, they might not be without a chance.
Unfortunately, the two could not stand each other. Whenever they got the chance, they would take a jab at one another.
[Xiao Wu: I'll say it again: Yu Xiaogang is trash, understand? Don't argue with me about this or that. If he really had any knowledge, why would everyone around him call him a fraud?] [Waiting for One Person for Life: That's because you're all blind and can't see how amazing he is!] [Not Little Witch: This is so ridiculous! You keep repeating the same few lines. Why don't you tell us exactly what's so amazing about him?] [Strongest: Ahem, Little Witch, do you want Martial Soul Evolution?]
Yang Xiu's sudden interjection instantly silenced the chat group.
