Shui Yunxi Gives Up

"Damn, you little brat. Not even Yan Yan knew about the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, yet you actually saw right through it at a glance. The knowledge you obtained from that Divine Spirit Inheritance truly is extraordinary—truly extraordinary."

"To be honest, I had originally planned to tell you about the secret of my Dugu Family's inherited martial soul only after you came of age and married Yan Yan. But I never expected that not only would you see through it directly, but from the sound of it, you even seem to have a way to resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison?"

After Yun Duo described his condition with flawless accuracy, Dugu Bo was utterly stunned.

At that moment, Dugu Bo's emotions were extremely complicated, and he was filled with deep sighs.

What complicated him was that if Yun Duo had been born a little earlier, his son and daughter-in-law, who had been poisoned to death by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, would not have died.

Dugu Yan would not have lost her parents at such a young age and been left to depend on an old man like him.

What moved him was that although his son and daughter-in-law had already passed away from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, at least he and Yan Yan could finally escape that damned poison.

"I'm screwed!"

But unlike Dugu Bo's complicated feelings.

After hearing Yun Duo lay out Dugu Bo's poisoning so clearly, and seeing Dugu Bo personally admit that he had been afflicted by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, Shui Yunxi felt as though every day lasted a year.

The teacup in her right hand trembled nonstop, while fine cold sweat seeped from her forehead. Even though Shui Yunxi had lived in the Far North for many years and had never felt cold before, her whole body now felt icy, and her legs kept twitching and cramping faintly.

Shui Yunxi already felt that her legs had gone completely weak. Even standing up would take time for her to recover from.

I can only hope that, for Little Yun Duo's sake and because he can resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, Poison Douluo will let this matter go and not do anything to me.

Otherwise, I'll be in for it. After all, if anyone learned the secret that determined their family's survival, never mind Dugu Bo—even I, Shui Yunxi, would get rid of them.

"Cough... cough... cough..."

After considering this, Shui Yunxi recovered slightly and deliberately coughed a few times, making it clear that she was still present.

Likewise, she, Shui Yunxi, now knew the secret that concerned the Dugu Family's very survival. How did this Poison Douluo intend to deal with her, someone who knew that secret?

"Hm???"

"Shui Yunxi???"

Forget it. Since the knowledge Yun Duo obtained from that Divine Spirit Inheritance contains a way to resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison afflicting my family's inherited martial soul, there's no need for me to do anything to her.

Besides, Shui Yunxi has a daughter engaged to that little brat Yun Duo. In the future, whether it's my granddaughter or her daughter, both will marry that little brat Yun Duo and become sisters. She can barely be considered half an in-law.

Moreover, Yun Duo is still young. I can't protect him at all times, and the affairs large and small in Skywater City, as well as the hundred thousand troops at the Prince's Residence, will still need Shui Yunxi's help to manage.

After hearing Shui Yunxi's cough, the shrewd old Dugu Bo understood what she meant. After a brief moment of hesitation, he made his decision.

"Mm, Shui Yunxi. I'll call you that for now."

"Regarding the secret of my Dugu Family's inherited martial soul, I hope you can keep your mouth shut. I also do not want you to mention this matter to anyone, nor do I want it recorded in the archives of your Tianshui Shui Family."

"After all, once Yun Duo comes of age and marries your daughter, you'll be his future mother-in-law. By then, you and I can barely be considered half in-laws. I don't want the relationship between our two families to become too strained and make things difficult for Little Yun Duo."

"Of course, I can't stay in Skywater City all the time. Yun Duo is still young, and there are many matters in which he will need your care."

"If you, the Tianshui Shui Family, or the Skywater Academy run by the Shui Family ever need my help, feel free to speak up. As long as it is within my abilities, I can handle it for you."

"And lastly, while I'm still in Skywater City, if you encounter any difficulties in cultivation, you may come seek my guidance. Although I am only a Level-91 Titled Douluo, guiding an Level-83 Soul Douluo like you won't be a problem."

After laying out his intentions, Dugu Bo felt thirsty for a moment. He poured himself another steaming cup of tea and slowly sipped it.

Of course, while I don't intend to make things difficult for Shui Yunxi for Yun Duo's sake, the necessary warning still has to be given.

"Mm, mm, mm. Please rest assured, Poison Douluo. I, Shui Yunxi, swear to the heavens upon my martial soul that I will never tell anyone about the secret of your Dugu Family's inherited martial soul. I won't even tell my own daughters, Yue'er and Bing'er. Likewise, I will not record the secret of your family's martial soul."

"As for Little Yun Duo, please rest assured. Even if you had not said anything, Poison Douluo, I would still take good care of him. Besides, as I see it, only Little Yun Duo remains in the Yun Family. Why not marry both Yue'er and Bing'er to Little Yun Duo?"

"After all, the Yun Family that Little Yun Duo belongs to is weak and isolated. In the future, its most important task will be to continue the family line. Rather than let outsiders benefit later, it would be better to let Yue'er and Bing'er, those two little girls who grew up with Little Yun Duo, benefit instead. What do you think of this proposal, Poison Douluo?"

"As for cultivation matters, once you have time tomorrow, I'll come seek your guidance. What do you think?"

After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Shui Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Dugu Bo had not made things difficult for her for Little Yun Duo's sake.

Moreover, to show her sincerity, she not only swore to the heavens upon her martial soul, but even offered both of her own daughters in marriage to Yun Duo.

And her actions could truly be said to be full of sincerity.

Not only was she cutting off the future heir of the Tianshui Shui Family, she even planned to merge the Tianshui Shui Family and Skywater Academy into Yun Duo's family now, becoming a subordinate family.

Of course, such behavior appeared to put her at a great disadvantage.

But one had to know that, setting aside the support of the Tianshui Shui Family and the Dugu Family, as well as his status as a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Little Yun Duo was still a monstrous genius with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Level-Twenty Soul Power.

And that was not even mentioning that Little Yun Duo had obtained the illusory Divine Spirit Inheritance, something that existed only in legends within the soul master world.

Whenever Shui Yunxi thought of these things, she felt that she had not lost out at all. Instead, she had struck it rich.

And not just a little rich, either.
