Poison Douluo: Is My Granddaughter Going to Belong to Someone Else? What a Fine Young Man!

Meanwhile.

Led by Dugu Yan, Xue Tianmo was making his way toward her grandfather's residence.

Along the way, Dugu Yan kept her arm linked with Xue Tianmo's.

As they walked, Xue Tianmo suddenly said, "Earlier, you said I was your lover?"

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan cried out in alarm, her face full of embarrassment as she became completely flustered.

She kept pursing her lips, her cheeks flushed and her gaze evasive.

"Um... I'm really sorry."

"I only said that in a moment of urgency. Please don't take it to heart!"

Xue Tianmo smiled calmly and did not think much of it.

Still, he wondered whether his appearance would prevent Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng from getting together.

After all, in the original story, the two of them had been a couple.

The two did not linger and continued onward.

After walking for some time, Xue Tianmo arrived outside a small courtyard under Dugu Yan's guidance.

"Shh..."

Before Xue Tianmo could respond, Dugu Yan made a silencing gesture at him and whispered, "Tianmo! Wait outside for a moment. I'll go in and discuss it with Grandpa first."

She did this because she feared that her grandfather, Dugu Bo, might lose his temper and frighten Xue Tianmo.

Xue Tianmo nodded and answered, "All right."

Without delay, Dugu Yan headed straight inside.

Before long, she entered the house.

Looking around, she saw a person resting in a chair some distance away.

He was thin and lanky. Though he was reclining, he looked as straight as a spear, and both his hair and beard were dark green.

Who else could it be but Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo?

"Hm?"

As Dugu Yan arrived, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes. They gleamed like emeralds, sending a chill down one's spine.

"Yan Yan?"

When he saw that it was Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's cold expression finally softened.

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan called out affectionately, then trotted over to Dugu Bo.

"Shouldn't you be at the academy at this hour?"

Dugu Bo asked.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan pursed her lips. Without beating around the bush, she replied directly, "Grandpa, I came to see you because something very important has happened."

"Oh?"

Dugu Bo sounded surprised, then smiled. "Tell me. What important matter is it?"

"Phew!"

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I have a friend who says he can completely remove the toxins accumulated in my body!"

"However, he needs a place with extremely abundant spiritual energy."

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Bo's expression immediately turned strange.

His previously relaxed brows gradually furrowed.

After being silent for quite a while, he gave a cold snort and finally said, "Yan Yan!"

"You must understand that even I cannot cure the toxins accumulated in your body."

"I am the Poison Douluo! Could your friend possibly understand poison better than I do?"

"If you ask me, that friend of yours is probably just boasting."

"Or perhaps he has some other motive."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's expression grew ugly.

Although Dugu Yan had not said so directly, he knew where this so-called place rich in spiritual energy was.

Seeing that Dugu Bo did not believe her, Dugu Yan immediately puffed out her cheeks.

The next moment, she crouched beside Dugu Bo, grabbed his arm, and began shaking it as she pleaded sweetly, "Grandpa, just let him try!"

"Anyway, no one can solve the problem with the toxins in my body now."

"Let a dead horse be treated as if it were alive. What if he really can do it?"

Dugu Yan paused before adding, "Recently, the toxins in my body have been flaring up more and more frequently."

"Whenever they flare up, it feels as though countless venomous insects are gnawing at me from within."

"That kind of pain is unbearable. It's worse than death."

"Today, the toxins flared up so badly that I fainted on the spot. Luckily, my friend was there and managed to suppress the toxins in my body!"

Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Bo frowned, his heart aching for her.

Though he did not really believe Dugu Yan's friend could completely remove the toxins, he still agreed.

"All right!"

"Since you trust him so much, let him give it a try."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward the door before adding, "If I'm not mistaken, that friend of yours is already waiting outside the courtyard, isn't he?"

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally sensed Xue Tianmo waiting outside at such close range.

Though he spoke calmly, Dugu Bo was unconvinced deep down. I'd like to see which brat dares deceive my precious granddaughter.

Seeing Dugu Bo agree, Dugu Yan cheered with delight.

"Great!"

"Nothing can escape Grandpa's notice! He's outside the courtyard. I'll bring him in to meet you right away!"

Without waiting for Dugu Bo to respond, Dugu Yan hurried outside.

When she saw Xue Tianmo, she excitedly grabbed his arm and pulled him straight into the house.

"Tianmo, my grandfather agreed!"

Dugu Yan said with a smile.

The two had only just entered the courtyard when they saw Dugu Bo walk out of the house.

"Hm?"

When Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan's intimate behavior with Xue Tianmo, his heart skipped a beat.

This is bad!

My granddaughter is going to belong to someone else!

Dugu Bo sighed inwardly and had already decided to give Xue Tianmo a warning.

However, after carefully examining Xue Tianmo, he could not help but be shocked.

"Th-This is the one from that day..."

Dugu Bo was greatly startled as he recalled the incident when Xue Beng had been killed in the street.

At the time, he had happened to be drinking in a tavern nearby.

He had originally intended to intervene, but the imperial family's four Soul Douluo had arrived.

In his view, with those four protecting him, Xue Beng should have been safe and sound.

Who would have thought that Ice Empress would make a move and instantly kill all four Soul Douluo on the spot?

The strength she displayed had actually reached the level of a level 96 Super Douluo.

Yan Yan's friend is actually this kid. He has a Super Douluo backing him!

Dugu Bo was utterly shocked.

Just moments ago, he had been planning to give Xue Tianmo a warning and make things difficult for him.

But now, Dugu Bo immediately abandoned that thought.

How did my granddaughter end up with such an extraordinary figure?

With that thought, Dugu Bo quickly came back to his senses and went forward with a smile.

"You must be Yan Yan's friend, right?"

After approaching, Dugu Bo looked Xue Tianmo over approvingly and praised, "What a fine young man indeed!"

"This junior is Xue Tianmo. Greetings, Senior Dugu."

Xue Tianmo gave a slight bow.

"Haha!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily and quickly said, "No need to be so polite!"
