Binding Dugu Yan

Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with shock.

What he said was actually true. The toxins in Yan Yan's body had really been cleared away by a great deal.

No wonder Yan Yan's physical condition had changed so dramatically.

If it had previously been unknown how long Yan Yan could live, then now, Dugu Bo dared to say that even without any further treatment, as long as Yan Yan grew stronger, suppressed the remaining toxins, and made use of his treasured place, she would at least be able to live to eighty or ninety.

After a moment of silence, Dugu Bo took several deep breaths and with great difficulty calmed the turmoil in his heart.

After all, this represented a wonderful possibility for his granddaughter to live like a normal person!

How could Dugu Bo, who had always felt guilty toward his descendants, possibly remain calm?

Then, with a solemn expression, he slowly spoke.

"Xiao Yu, are you really unwilling to take me as your master?! I can give you my word. I can even swear to the heavens that as long as you become my disciple, you'll be my own grandson from now on.

"With your talent, the resources I give you can exceed even Yan Yan's. I can even have Yan Yan marry you in the future! After I die, you can inherit all my assets as well."

"Grandfather! What are you talking about? What do you mean, dying?! I won't allow you to say that!!"

When she heard that her Grandfather wanted her to marry Xiao Yu, Dugu Yan had initially blushed, wondering how Xiao Yu could discuss something like that with her when he was still so young. At the very least, it should wait for a few more years.

But the moment she heard the words "after I die," Dugu Yan anxiously spoke up to stop him.

She did not care about how resources were distributed. She only cared that her Grandfather remained by her side. That was all.

Seeing how serious Dugu Bo was at this moment, Xiao Yu knew that he meant every word.

However, Xiao Yu, who now had the system, had only one thought: I want it all.

So, after pondering for a moment, Xiao Yu spoke.

"I'm sorry, Senior. My teacher is Liu Erlong, so... I can't agree to your request. However, you can leave Sister Yan Yan's poison to me. I'll do everything I can to help."

Hearing Xiao Yu refuse once again, Dugu Bo could only sigh helplessly.

Knowing Xiao Yu's character, Dugu Bo was not particularly surprised by the rejection.

At this moment, Dugu Bo could not help wondering why he had not met Xiao Yu sooner.

If he had met him earlier, perhaps...

"Ah, fine. Since that's the case, I won't force you. Keep helping Yan Yan clear the toxins from her body. I won't let you help for nothing. From now on, I'll protect you. Your soul rings and your safety will all be my responsibility."

Even Dugu Yan was shocked when she heard Dugu Bo's words.

She had never expected her Grandfather, who had always loved freedom, to personally offer to become someone's bodyguard.

Even Prince Xue Xing, who had once saved her Grandfather's life, had not been able to make him serve as a personal guard!

"Senior Dugu, Sister Yan Yan's poison is no more than a simple matter for me. It's nothing at all."

Xiao Yu spoke.

"I know it may be nothing to you, but it is very important to me."

Dugu Bo's voice carried a faint desolation.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Xiao Yu fell into thought. Then he looked at the adorably clueless Dugu Yan beside him and said, "Sister Yan Yan, I'm a little hungry. Why don't you ask Teacher to prepare something to eat?"

"Ah?! You're hungry? All right, I'll go tell her."

Dugu Yan did not suspect a thing and walked straight out.

At that moment, Xiao Yu saw the system screen light up once more.

Received five Conquest Points from Dugu Yan!

Congratulations, Host, you have bound Dugu Yan! Progress bar unlocked!

Conquered target: Dugu Yan (5%)!

Seeing the screen, Xiao Yu was delighted. He had finally gotten a handle on Dugu Yan.

But now was not the time to celebrate. He needed to win over Dugu Bo as soon as possible!

So, only after seeing Dugu Yan leave did Xiao Yu speak.

"Senior, if I'm not mistaken, you're poisoned as well, aren't you? And judging by it, the poison should be even more severe than Sister Yan Yan's."

Dugu Bo's expression changed in shock upon hearing Xiao Yu's words.

He had not expected this boy to see through even that.

No wonder he had sent Yan Yan away.

You're very clever.

"Oh, not at all. It's mainly because the things you said earlier sounded far too much like the words of someone entrusting another with an orphan. Combined with the fact that Sister Yan Yan already has such terrifying toxins in her body at barely more than ten years old, I guessed it."

Xiao Yu scratched the back of his head as he spoke.

Looking at Xiao Yu, Dugu Bo let out a helpless sigh.

As he recalled the poison within his body, a trace of tears slowly appeared in Dugu Bo's formerly cold, ruthless, aged eyes.

"Ah, you brat. You're so young, yet you're already this clever. That's right. The poison in my body is even worse than Yan Yan's. Isn't it laughable? A Titled Douluo with the title of Poison, yet I've been ruined by poison into this state."

Afterward, Dugu Bo began telling Xiao Yu about the history of the Dugu Family.

"Yan Yan, how is it inside? Is Xiao Yu all right?"

Outside, Liu Erlong, who was receiving treatment from a healing-type soul master, saw Dugu Yan emerge and immediately asked.

"Oh, everything's fine inside. Xiao Yu and my Grandfather were talking quite well. I just couldn't understand what they were discussing. Later, Xiao Yu said he was hungry and asked me to come out and trouble you to make something to eat."

Hearing this, the perceptive Liu Erlong immediately understood. Xiao Yu wanted to discuss something else with His Excellency Dugu, something unsuitable for Dugu Yan to hear, which was why he had deliberately sent Dugu Yan out first.

"All right, I'll go prepare it. Yan Yan, will you help me?"

"Sure!"

The adorably clueless Dugu Yan happily agreed without thinking too much about it.

Afterward, Liu Erlong dismissed everyone else.

At the same time, she brought Dugu Yan to the dining hall to prepare a meal.

Elsewhere, the dejected Yu Tianheng walked along the road back to his clan. Thinking back on everything he had encountered today, he could not help letting out a heavy sigh.

"Hehe, Tianheng, what could possibly make you sigh so deeply?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Tianheng looked up and saw Liu Erlong's biological father, Yu Luomian, who had just returned from outside.

Yu Luomian saw Yu Tianheng and noticed his dejected appearance.

He immediately asked curiously.

As the eldest direct-line son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng should not have been so despondent at his age.

What young people like them needed to cultivate most now was the domineering spirit, pride, and unstoppable momentum born from the fiery blood of youth!
