"By the way, Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, Little Yue'er, Little Bing'er. It's getting late, and there are no servants in the residence today. Why don't you all help prepare tonight's dinner? Aunt Yunxi, the old fool, and I can discuss the other matters concerning Skywater City!"
Seeing the sky outside the window gradually darken, Yun Duo seemed to think of something and spoke directly to the four girls beside him.
"No problem. So, Little Brother Yun Duo, what do you want to eat today? Big Sister will show you what she can do."
"Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know. Brother Yun Duo likes vegetables, tomato scrambled eggs, roast duck, roast goose, poached chicken, steamed fish, roast suckling pig, braised pigeon, honey-glazed char siu, steamed pork ribs, slow-cooked soup, and all kinds of seafood most of all."
"Damn it, I was asking Little Brother Yun Duo. Little Yue'er, why are you butting in?"
"Hehehe, Sister Yanzi, don't tell me you don't know what Brother Yun Duo likes to eat? No way? No way?"
"Hmph! Shui Yue'er, I think you're asking for a beating. Can't you be a little more mature and steady like your little sister, Little Bing'er? Look at yourself, so mischievous. Where's the dignity an older sister ought to have?"
"Bleh, bleh, bleh. I'm only three or four years old. What's wrong with being a little mischievous?"
At Yun Duo's request for help with dinner, Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er began competing with each other again, just as they had last year.
"All right, Sister Yanzi, Little Yue'er, stop messing around in the hall. When it comes to being mischievous and immature, neither of you has any right to criticize the other. You should both learn from Sister Lingling and Little Bing'er."
Watching the two start up again, Yun Duo spoke up to stop them.
Of course. Things like a Shura field could never be avoided just because of one's status, strength, or age.
Still, this marriage arrangement had been decided jointly by his grandfather and parents, so he could only accept it through tears of joy.
Besides, he was the only one left in his family. Naturally, he needed to marry several wives and continue the family line.
"Hmph!~X2"
"Sister Lingling, Little Bing'er. Sorry for the trouble, but please keep an eye on Sister Yanzi and Little Yue'er together. Otherwise, those two might start competing with each other again in the kitchen!"
"Mm, we understand!~X2"
Watching Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er each snort coldly before slowly heading toward the kitchen together, Yun Duo asked Ye Lingling and Shui Bing'er to keep an eye on them.
The sensible and obedient Ye Lingling and Shui Bing'er nodded slightly to show they understood, then immediately followed after Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er, who had already left the hall.
"By the way, old fool, you and Sister Yanzi should be poisoned, right? And I remember you have a medicinal garden in Sunset Forest. In a couple of days, take me there for a look and see whether there are any herbs I need."
"Hm? Brat, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm a Titled Douluo. And I'm a Titled Douluo whose title is poison. How could Yanyan and I possibly be poisoned?"
"Of course, if you want to look for herbs in my medicinal garden in Sunset Forest, it's no big deal for me to take you there later. But then again, who told you that Yanyan and I were poisoned?"
"Hehe, are you really sure you haven't been poisoned?"
"If that's the case, then forget it."
"Sigh, I originally wanted to look through your medicinal garden in Sunset Forest for suitable herbs. If there were any, I could remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison from you and Sister Yanzi, the poison brought about by your family's inherited martial soul."
"Wait, brat, what did you just say? You said you can remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison?"
"Oh, I can. But didn't you say you weren't poisoned? What are you in such a hurry for?"
Seeing Dugu Bo still stubbornly holding on and refusing to admit that he had been poisoned, Yun Duo leisurely took a sip of tea from his cup.
In contrast to Yun Duo's unhurried tea-drinking and Dugu Bo's hesitant appearance,
Shui Yunxi was in an extremely awkward situation at that moment!
No, Little Yun Duo, Auntie watched you grow up.
You just revealed the secret that Poison Douluo's inherited family martial soul could poison its users right in front of Poison Douluo and me?
Little Yun Duo, if you keep this up, you might lose Auntie.
"Brat, first tell me how you found out that Yanyan and I were poisoned. And can you really remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison? You should know that this isn't something to joke about."
After seeing Yun Duo calmly drinking tea, Dugu Bo voiced his doubts. At the same time, he cast a faint glance toward Shui Yunxi.
It would be one thing if Yun Duo knew!
After all, once he came of age, he would marry Yanyan and have children with her. They would be family.
If he knew, then he knew. It was no big deal anyway.
But if this had been before he heard Yun Duo say that he could remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, then even if Shui Yunxi was a Soul Douluo whose daughter was engaged to Yun Duo, Dugu Bo would not have minded making her shut up forever.
After all, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison concerned the survival of the Dugu Family.
"As for how I knew that you and Sister Yanzi were afflicted by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison? Mm, naturally, it came from the Divine Spirit Inheritance I received. When I received the Divine Spirit Inheritance, I also gained a great deal of related knowledge."
"This includes, but is not limited to, weapon forging techniques whose inheritances have already been lost, medical knowledge, Soul Tool Technology, as well as recipes for rare medicinal baths and pills."
"It could be said that in the inheritance memories I received, the knowledge in every field surpasses the accumulated knowledge of all the empires and sects across the entire Douluo Continent. Even Spirit Hall, one of the foremost great powers on the Douluo Continent, cannot compare to me."
"So, noticing that you and Sister Yanzi have been poisoned by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was quite simple. Of course, based on that alone, I know an old fool like you might not necessarily believe me. But if I can describe your physical condition, you should be able to tell whether I'm lying."
"Let me ask you this: whenever the weather turns gloomy and rainy, do you feel numbness and itching around both sides of your ribs, with the sensation gradually worsening over time? And does it flare up once at noon and once at midnight? Given your current state as a Titled Douluo, each episode should last more than a full hour. Also, every night at around three in the morning, your head and the centers of your palms experience needle-like stabbing pain. Your entire body spasms, and this lasts for at least half an hour. I don't need to describe that agonizing process, do I? Would you have these symptoms if you weren't poisoned? Old fool, not only have you been poisoned, but the poison has already seeped into your bones. Ordinary methods can no longer solve it."
After noticing Dugu Bo's gaze upon him, Yun Duo drained the tea in his hand. Once he set the teacup back on the table, he directly recited the Immortal Herb Password to Dugu Bo.
