Further Taking Control of Dugu Bo and His Granddaughter

"Thank you for your help, Senior!"

Once he had managed to stand up, Xiao Yu cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo and said.

"It's nothing. You saved my granddaughter, so this is hardly worth mentioning. Besides, by rights, I should be the one thanking you. Sigh, I just didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Since you saved my granddaughter this time, consider it repayment for the time I saved you. From now on, neither of us owes the other anything."

Dugu Bo spoke.

He had always been clear about debts of gratitude and grudges.

This time, Xiao Yu had essentially saved his granddaughter's life.

After all, no one knew whether the poison in Yan Yan's body might have claimed her life before he arrived.

He could not simply brush this aside.

Hearing Dugu Bo say this, Xiao Yu shook his head and slowly spoke.

"No, Senior. In the end, Sister Yan Yan's poison erupted because of Sleeping Dragon's Bright Breath. Strictly speaking, this was partly my fault. Treating Sister Yan Yan is what I should do."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Yu curiously.

What do you mean by that?

"Senior, this is what happened..."

"..."

After Xiao Yu explained his thoughts to Dugu Bo,

Dugu Bo's expression became incredibly complicated.

For a moment, he did not know whether he should hate, rage, or rejoice.

He was furious and resentful because this brat had nearly killed Yan Yan.

Yet he was also glad because this brat had saved his Yan Yan.

"You little brat, in just two days, you've caused trouble for both my granddaughter and me! I really ought to make Yan Yan stay far away from you from now on."

In the end, Dugu Bo spoke with a face full of displeasure.

As a Titled Douluo, when had he ever suffered such indignity?

He had taken this grievance and had no way to get revenge for it.

It was also the first time Dugu Bo had experienced such complicated feelings.

Faced with Dugu Bo's resentful expression, Xiao Yu gave a helpless wry smile.

"I couldn't help it either. Who would have thought that the poison in Sister Yan Yan's body could not only harm its host, but was also so potent? Still, something puzzles me. Sister Yan Yan is only a Soul Grandmaster right now. Even if she had poison in her body, its toxicity should not be this severe.

Senior Dugu, is the poison in Sister Yan Yan's body the poison of the Jade Python? If so, is there something wrong with her martial soul? Otherwise, why would a Jade Python at merely a dozen or so levels possess such terrible poison?"

A flicker of astonishment crossed Dugu Bo's face upon hearing Xiao Yu's words.

He had not expected Xiao Yu to realize so quickly that there was a problem with Yan Yan's martial soul.

"This matter is a family affair of the Dugu Family. I cannot tell you."

Dugu Bo spoke with a gloomy expression.

He was truly too ashamed to speak of such matters. A family that should have been the most skilled at using poison on the entire continent had instead been nearly driven to extinction by poison.

Not only did he himself have to endure the torment of poison constantly, but even Yan Yan had now accumulated an enormous amount of poison in her body.

No one knew when her poison might erupt and kill her in the future.

Wouldn't they be laughed to death if such a thing got out?

Being laughed at would be one thing, but if their enemies learned of it, whether the Dugu Family could survive at all would be unknown.

"Senior, if you truly do not wish to tell me, I can understand. But I think I purified quite a bit of the poison in Sister Yan Yan's body just now.

So why not let her come a few more times? Let me completely clear the poison from her body before we discuss anything else. At the very least, we should save Sister Yan Yan's life first. The poison in her body is far too terrifying. While Sister Yan Yan is still young, getting rid of it as soon as possible is the best course of action."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded.

The poison in his Yan Yan's body could be completely cleared away?!

How was that possible?!

This brat actually possessed such an ability?

Even he, a Titled Douluo whose title was Poison, had been completely helpless against the poison that had soaked Yan Yan's body ever since she was in her mother's womb.

Yet this brat claimed he could purify the poison in Yan Yan's body?

"Xiao Yu, did you just say that you possess the ability to purify poison?"

Dugu Bo asked with utter disbelief.

His heart held both a trace of expectation and a trace of doubt.

"Yes. Sleeping Dragon's First Spirit Skill is Bright Breath. It can not only heal, but also remove negative effects. The reason Teacher Erlong was able to walk back was because my Bright Breath removed her pain, allowing her to feel a little more comfortable. It was the same for Sister Yan Yan just now."

Listening to Xiao Yu, Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

The person he had searched for bitterly for decades, someone who could treat the poison of the Dugu Family, had appeared just like that?!

It truly felt rather unreal.

Still, hearing was not believing. Dugu Bo immediately called his granddaughter in.

He intended to personally examine the state of the poison in Yan Yan's body!

Yan Yan's complexion had looked healthy just now, so he had not inspected her carefully. He had merely given her a rough check to see whether she was in any danger.

Now, he needed to examine her properly.

"Yan Yan, come in!!"

"I'm coming, Grandfather!!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately strode into the room.

At this moment, with more than half the poison in her body removed, Dugu Yan appeared even more radiant and beautiful.

The jade-green color in her pupils had also become light green.

Furthermore, the aura she gave off no longer carried a faintly gloomy air.

Dugu Yan was now full of the lively charm of a youthful, spirited young beauty.

Seeing that his granddaughter had changed so greatly, Dugu Bo was stunned once more.

How had he failed to notice such a huge change in his granddaughter just now?

Before Dugu Bo could speak, however, Dugu Yan ignored him the instant she entered and rushed forward to tightly hug Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, your big sister really has to thank you properly. You saved my life!"

Dugu Yan forcefully squeezed Xiao Yu into her embrace and smiled brightly.

Her voice was full of relief at having survived a disaster.

After all, if not for Xiao Yu, she really would have died right there in the street.

"Sister Yan Yan, this was partly my fault to begin with. It was only what I should have done."

Feeling Dugu Yan's fragrance and softness, Xiao Yu said with a smile.

With Dugu Bo beside him, he did not even know where to put his hands.

Seeing his granddaughter hug Xiao Yu the moment she entered, Dugu Bo was quite displeased. But remembering that Xiao Yu was Yan Yan's lifesaver, he did not say much. Still, that jade-green, resentful gaze made Xiao Yu deeply uncomfortable.

Soon, unable to watch any longer, Dugu Bo pulled them apart and hurriedly grabbed Dugu Yan's hand to check her pulse.

All he wanted now was to know whether Xiao Yu's words were true.

However, when he sensed that so much of the poison in Dugu Yan's body had truly been cleared away—and that one-third of the virulent poison that had already seeped deep into her bones had been removed—Dugu Bo's eyes widened enormously.
