Dugu Bo's face darkened.
Chrysanthemum Guan simply had to poke the sorest spot, jabbing straight into Dugu Bo's lungs-and jabbing hard.
Dugu Bo drew the Poison Core back into his dantian, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Only after opening his eyes again did he look at Chrysanthemum Guan and begin explaining.
