Heaven Dou Imperial City

"Da da..."

The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed on the fine stone pavement. The steady road provided a reliable tactile experience, prompting Lin Yue to peek out from the carriage and curiously look ahead.

After a period of travel, the magnificent Heaven Dou Imperial City finally came into view.

In front of the majestic city gate, the place was bustling with people and vehicles, and the air was filled with the lively atmosphere of a bustling marketplace.

Merchants, commoners in plain clothes, and wealthy and noble Soul Master lined up in long queues at the entrance to the city, waiting to be checked.

"It's really lively!"

Peeking out from the carriage, Lin Yue gazed at the magnificent city in the distance and couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

After all, it is a city in a fantasy world. To fight against Soul Master, the height and thickness of the city are far beyond what ordinary cities can match.

Standing outside the Heaven Dou Imperial City, Lin Yue had to look up to see the view from the city walls.

The Heaven Dou Imperial City before us resembles a city of giants; both the height of its city gates and the sheer size of the city are astonishing.

"Haha, the number of residents near the Heaven Dou Imperial City is in the tens of millions, not counting the merchants and other transient populations. Of course, there are many more people."

Driving the carriage, Dugu Xin smiled and explained, slowly making his way towards the city entrance passage reserved for Soul Grandmaster.

"Too."

Lin Yue nodded to himself.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy, the Ye Family of the Nine-Heart Begonia, the Dugu Family of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Spirit Hall Branch, the residence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, representatives of various chambers of commerce and major sects, and Moonlight Pavilion, the only external signal source of the Clear Sky Sect.

In conclusion, the Heaven Dou Imperial City is a complex web of power struggles. Soul Master are everywhere, and while dangers lurk all around, various opportunities also lie hidden within.

This is especially true for Lin Yue.

He had already dealt with various factions in Nuoding City, and he had resolved most of the commissions that the Arad System could provide.

Stepping into this Heaven Dou Imperial City is like entering a completely new, unexplored virgin territory for him to acquire points and items.

Of course, in Lin Yue's heart, besides the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire of the Dugu Family, the most important thing was the Ye Family of the Nine-Heart Begonia.

After all, as the most famous healing Soul Master in the entire continent, the head of the Ye Family must have received countless Soul Master from all over the country seeking his help.

If he stayed there, Lin Yue would no longer be limited to accepting commissions from ordinary people, but could truly begin to accept commissions from various Soul Master.

Although this would reveal that his potion possesses the ability to heal Soul Master, having reached this point, he is no longer alone.

Lin Yue glanced at Dugu Xin, who was riding a horse in front of him, smiled slightly, and considered the feasibility of the plan in his mind.

With the endorsement of Poison Douluo and the friendship of the Dugu Family, he finally had a real background in this world where strength was everything. He no longer needed to fear petty villains and could appropriately display his talent and strength.

In other words, his potion can finally be applied to Soul Master!

Just like the Martial Soul enhancement he used on Shen Zhaoran before, he can now treat even those difficult and complicated diseases. However, he should still be cautious about such qualitative changes in his Martial Soul, but there is no problem with treating normal cases.

"Alright, we've arrived."

Dugu Xin stopped the carriage, dismounted, and walked towards a huge mansion by the roadside.

The current residence is full of classical Eastern charm. The stone lions guarding the house, the brass rings at the entrance, the flowing, upturned eaves at the top of the gate...

With its carved beams and painted rafters, white walls and black tiles, it exudes exquisite beauty everywhere.

Lin Yue got out of the car and looked up at the luxurious mansion in the imperial city, which covered several hundred square meters, and couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of the residence of Titled Douluo, even though he has not joined any faction, his wealth and resources are not to be underestimated.

However, perhaps because of the poison cultivation of the Dugu Family, they were relatively aloof. There wasn't a single servant in this huge mansion, not even a guard. Perhaps it was just a few members of the Dugu Family living there.

"Yan'er, I'm back."

The moment he stepped into the mansion, Dugu Xin beamed with joy and raised his arms in a shout.

"Dad!"

A cheerful figure darted out of the courtyard and rushed into Dugu Xin's arms like a fledgling swallow.

She was a 12-year-old girl. Her long, bluish-purple hair was tied in a ponytail, and her delicate oval face carried a hint of allure. She seemed to possess the seductive charm of a femme fatale.

She wore a long blue dress that accentuated her slender yet curvaceous figure, and she was all smiles as she clung tightly to her father.

Clearly, this is Dugu Yan, the only daughter of the Dugu Family.

Perhaps it's Douluo Continent mature early, but this 12-year-old girl had already blossomed into a graceful young woman, like a girl in the prime of her youth. She was well-developed, and her slightly fuller chest could easily fill out her dress. She was tall and fair-skinned, with a remarkable air about her.

"Um?"

Noticing the boy's gaze, Dugu Yan lowered her head and saw Lin Yue following behind Dugu Xin into her own house.

The girl's pretty face froze for a moment.

The next second, she jumped down from her father's arms, her eyes darting incredulously between Lin Yue and Dugu Xin.

"Dad, who is he?"

Covering her mouth, the precocious Dugu Yan looked at the adorable 6-year-old boy. A bold guess suddenly popped into her mind.

Could it be that Dad brought this back...?

Illegitimate child?!

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan immediately lifted her long skirt, revealing her fair calves, and ran to Lin Yue, bending down to greet him hurriedly.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

My name is Lin Yue.

"What? Lin Yue?"

Having heard this name quite a bit recently, Dugu Yan's expression changed, and her beautiful eyes widened immediately.

She had often overheard her grandfather chatting with her parents, and it seemed that her parents' return home was thanks to the help of that Mr. Lin.

Even though Dugu Yan racked her brains, she never imagined that the Mr. Lin mentioned by her elders was actually such a tender boy who had just turned 6!

"Haha, that's right, Yan'er. He's the Mr. Little Lin that your mother and I often mention."

Seeing the shock on his daughter's face, Dugu Xin smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Your mother and I were only temporarily cured of the poison because of his help, which allowed us to get home and be treated by Grandpa. In the end, you should really thank him."

"Real?"

Unexpectedly, it was this adorable little boy in front of her who saved her parents' lives! In an instant, tears welled up in Dugu Yan's eyes, and in her excitement, she opened her arms and embraced Lin Yue.

Thank you! Really!

The girl's voice choked with emotion, her tone slightly hoarse.

From a young age, Dugu Yan could sense the pain in her parents. As she watched the bandages on their bodies increase and gradually cover their familiar faces, she knew that her parents were suffering from a chronic, unspeakable illness.

The day her parents left home, it felt as if a large piece of flesh had been ripped from the girl's heart, leaving her with only intense emptiness and pain.

Unexpectedly, in just two months, the parents who had returned seemed to have been completely healed, their faces radiating a healthy glow.

This beautiful scene felt like a dream, making Dugu Yan feel as if she had returned to her childhood and was able to see her healthy parents again.

No longer do they have to live in fear and anxiety like they did as children, worrying that their parents might suddenly disappear from their world.

It turns out that everything was thanks to this little boy's help.

Thinking of this, all her past fears transformed into the strength of her embrace, causing Dugu Yan to hold the boy tightly in her arms, filled with deep emotion...

"Ahem, Sister Yanzi, you're hugging me a little too tightly..."

Lin Yue patted Dugu Yan's shoulder, his face flushed.

It wasn't that he couldn't withstand such a strong hug. Rather, with the two pressed close together, he could even feel the softness and elasticity of Dugu Yan's chest.

The unfamiliar fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, causing him to turn his head away as much as possible, trying not to do anything impolite.

Seeing the boy's face turn red, Dugu Yan wiped her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is the little one shy?"

Seemingly belatedly realizing that her actions had been somewhat rude and offensive, a blush crept onto the girl's face. Facing Lin Yue's gaze, she forced herself to remain calm and said:

"Come on, call me 'sister' and let me hear it."

"Alright, alright, Xiaoyan, Mr. Little Lin is here to help you better control the poison in your body, so don't be rude."

Bai Ling, dressed in a white dress, walked out of the courtyard and smiled as she patted Dugu Yan's head.

Judging from the couple's current expressions, Lin Yue felt a slight certainty in his heart.

It seems that since their last parting, their bodies have become more resistant to toxins. After returning to the Dugu Family, Dugu Bo must have been able to suppress the toxins in their bodies again, which is why they are in such good health now.

However, considering the characteristic that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison increases with cultivation level, if they cannot quickly find Spirit Bone to store the venom, or consume more high-level Resistance Potion to enhance their resistance to the venom...

Their bodies will eventually return to their former dilapidated state, riddled with holes and corroded by toxins.

Lin Yue glanced at Dugu Yan, who was now charming and beautiful, looking every bit the young girl. He sighed inwardly, rummaged through his Storage Belt, and took out a bottle of red Expert Recovery Potion.

"Here, consider this a small gift for Sister Yanzi."

"For me?"

Looking at the crimson potion, Dugu Yan showed a look of surprise.

Seeing Bai Ling's eyes flashed with joy, and she immediately said, "Alright, this is just a small token of Little Lin's appreciation, Yan'er, please accept it."

Dugu Xin, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly and urged, "Yes, Yan'er, hurry up and drink this medicine. It might be good for your health."

With a hint of disbelief, Dugu Yan took the medicine, opened the bottle, inhaled the refreshing herbal fragrance, raised an eyebrow, and, treating it as just an ordinary bottle of juice, tilted her head back and drank it down.

The next moment, an unprecedented feeling of comfort and relief surged from her internal organs, causing her expression to change instantly.
