A favor found in the wild-why not take it?
Is it that it's impossible or that they don't want to do it?
Xue Ye frowned; he hadn't expected his son to refuse so decisively.
Does this mean they no longer respect him?
"Father, I truly cannot do this. I'll leave it to you now; I have no way to contact the other party."
"The method I used was merely to deceive the Spirit Hall, to fabricate false information for them."
Qian Renxue really wanted to give Xue Ye a sword strike right now and finish off this arrogant guy.
How much did he drink to say something like that?
"Fake news? Are you sure you can fool the Spirit Hall?"
Xue Ye's expression softened slightly; in his view, as long as Xue Qinghe wasn't truly unreliable, it was fine.
Whether they can fool the Spirit Hall is another matter entirely.
"I can't guarantee it will work, but at least we can try."
Even if it fails, it will still cause trouble for the Star Luo Empire.
"If all else fails, we can just sacrifice that woman; we won't suffer any loss."
His words were full of calculation, devoid of any human warmth.
But that's Imperial Family; human touch is the most useless thing here, and also the most expensive luxury.
Aren't you afraid of the impact this will have on you?
If this fails, the Heaven Dou Empire will be fine, but Xue Qinghe himself will definitely be affected.
After all, she was his Crown Princess. If something really happened, he, as the Crown Prince, would be held responsible.
"This sacrifice is worthwhile for the empire."
After listening, Xue Ye smiled again.
It seems that Xue Qinghe's answer satisfied him.
"Very well, but this is not a question a prince like you should ask. Remember to find a scapegoat beforehand. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."
"Yes, Father."
Qian Renxue bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
The matter has been settled, so there's no need to waste any more words with this old man.
However, what the other person said did serve as a reminder to her.
A scapegoat? She just happened to think of a suitable one.
Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Mo Lin looked at the mangled body on the ground, its surface ravaged by flames and frost, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Why bother?
The owner of the body before them was none other than the long-lost Dugu Bo.
He has been staying here ever since Mo Lin took all the herbs from the herb garden.
To combat the poison's effects, he had no choice but to risk touching the icy-fire spring in front of him.
The energy within could indeed suppress the eruption of the Azure Serpent's venom, but his physical body simply couldn't withstand the impact of this energy.
The result is what I am now, tormented to the point of near death.
Given that Titled Douluo's regenerative abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, he would probably be a corpse by now.
Mo Lin originally intended to come and collect some spring water, which might come in handy when he reached the Far North.
He was somewhat surprised to run into Dugu Bo here.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had already fainted, Mo Lin squatted down and gently placed his palm on the other's body.
He activated the power of the Horse Talisman, and its powerful healing ability instantly restored all of Dugu Bo's injuries.
In addition, it also completely removed the toxins that had plagued his body for many years.
After doing all this, Mo Lin took out paper and pen and began to write on them.
After writing the note, he slipped it into Dugu Bo's hand, then went to fetch some spring water and left.
Shortly after, Dugu Bo woke up.
"Well..."
Although the physical wounds have healed, the excruciating pain still lingers.
Dugu Bo choked and stood up from the ground, his eyes regaining their clarity after a moment.
Just then, he suddenly discovered that all his injuries had healed.
"What am I doing...?"
Before Dugu Bo could figure out what was happening, he suddenly felt a foreign object in his palm.
He unfolded his hand and saw a slightly crumpled piece of paper.
"Hmm? What is that?"
He remembered that he didn't have this thing in his hand before he fainted.
Unfold the slip of paper; a line of text was written on it.
[Savior of You - Defying Heaven]
It was only five words, but it made Dugu Bo frown.
"Defying Heaven? Who is this guy? What kind of lousy name is that? Defying Heaven? I'm the one who breaks through Heaven."
Dugu Bo cursed a couple of times, then suddenly realized something and froze on the spot.
Then, a pig-like scream echoed through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"You scoundrel! Give me back my herb garden!"
The only person who could enter and leave this place so easily, besides him, was that scoundrel who plundered his medicinal herb garden.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually came back, and even slipped a note into my hand while I was unconscious.
Provocation, absolute provocation.
"Don't let me catch you, or you'll be sorry!"
Dugu Bo stood there cursing angrily, but as he continued cursing, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with him.
"How light and nimble my body feels..."
Using his Soul Power to carefully sense the current situation, Dugu Bo was pleasantly surprised to find that the poison that had plagued him for many years had actually been neutralized.
Having suffered from the backlash of toxins for many years, his body was no longer what it used to be.
And now, he has actually recovered to his peak condition, giving him a long-lost feeling of ultimate pleasure.
Feeling refreshed, so incredibly refreshed! This is what it's like to be free from toxins.
He couldn't remember the last time he felt this comfortable.
After stretching his body, Dugu Bo summoned his Martial Soul, wanting to test if there were any other changes.
However, as soon as he summoned his Martial Soul, he realized something was wrong.
The original Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul has gained two more heads.
Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. He had only drunk some spring water, so why had his Martial Soul mutated?
At this moment, he could clearly feel two new abilities within his body, and these two energies were extremely similar to the energy emitted from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In other words, these two extra heads are closely related to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"No, who am I? Where am I? What did I do?"
The three questions about death flashed through Dugu Bo's mind, and he stood there blankly, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
But this isn't his problem; after all, anyone would be stunned for a while in this situation.
To put it simply, this is akin to waking up to find your penis is gone.
Dugu Bo's situation was even more unusual; he woke up to find two more people. Isn't that terrifying?
Mo Lin had anticipated this.
He was also well aware that the change in Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was due to the fact that the opponent had accidentally absorbed the dragon soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings buried at the bottom.
The two extra heads are derivatives of the Dragon Soul.
The dragon soul attached to Dugu Bo's Martial Soul, causing a class-level leap in Dugu Bo's Martial Soul.
You could say this guy got incredibly lucky; he actually ran into this.
I also wanted to dig up dragon bones when I came last time, but I thought they were too big and I didn't know where to put them.
Ordinary Storage Soul Tool are definitely not suitable for storing this thing; after all, it's God Rank skeleton, and the energy it releases could cause Soul Tool to explode.
So he decided to stay there, since no one else on the Douluo Continent knew what was down there except him.
But despite all his calculations, he never expected that Dugu Bo would snatch it away in the end.
As expected, every cloud has a silver lining.
He looted all the medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but in return, he received the blessing of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Since that's the case, he won't steal the opportunity from her, since neither Ye Lingling nor he needs it anyway.
However, not taking doesn't mean doing nothing.
Although the other person got incredibly lucky, he was unaware that he himself had gotten incredibly lucky.
Since he didn't know, then it didn't happen. And then he stumbled upon it, so he's the one who did it.
The logic holds true, therefore Dugu Bo owes him a life, which he must repay later.
Besides, he also treated the other party's injuries, so he did help them out and therefore didn't get something for nothing.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was unaware that he had been tricked, as he was preoccupied with the fact that he had been away for too long and needed to go home to find his granddaughter.
"Oh no, I haven't been back for so long, Dugu Yan is going to be angry."
Without taking the time to carefully examine the changes in his own body, Dugu Bo rushed back without stopping.
