Dugu Bo now believed every word Yu Tianlong said without the slightest doubt.
After all, the other party had absolutely no reason to deceive him.
Of course, the most important reason was still his granddaughter.
After all, Dugu Bo knew the suffering the poison brought.
Especially in his case, behind his formidable strength lay torment beyond an ordinary person's imagination.
Every bout of that torment left him unable to live or die. That pain simply could not be described in words.
Now that there was a solution, Dugu Bo naturally could not spare a thought for his dignity.
He only wanted to escape this long-standing torment as soon as possible and save his granddaughter's life!
"Xiaolong, when would you have time to help us remove the poison?"
Faced with Dugu Bo's question, Yu Tianlong answered with a smile:
"I'm free anytime. After all, although I'm studying now, my teacher isn't around. A senior schoolmate taught me everything yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was instantly overjoyed.
"Then could you do it now?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ning Rongrong instantly grew wary. Before Yu Tianlong could answer, she stepped in front of him, looked at Dugu Bo, and said directly:
"Senior Dugu, Brother Long still needs us right now. He has to devour Soul Beasts for his strength to improve."
"If he leaves with you now, what about his strength?"
Dugu Bo had wondered what the issue was, but immediately laughed.
"I, Dugu Bo, am a Titled Douluo, after all. What sort of Soul Beast couldn't I hunt down? As long as you agree to remove our poison, Xiaolong, I can help you hunt down any Soul Beast and let your Martial Soul devour it."
Seeing Dugu Bo boast so shamelessly, Yu Tianlong felt a little mischievous.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Then, Senior Dugu, I read about a Soul Beast called the Titan Giant Ape in a book. Could you capture one alive for me and let my Martial Soul devour it?"
As Yu Tianlong said this, his eyes revealed a look of longing.
But when Dugu Bo heard Yu Tianlong's words, his entire body froze.
The smile on his lips instantly stiffened as well!
"The Titan Giant Ape???!"
"Huh? You can't do it, Senior Dugu?"
Dugu Bo was utterly embarrassed. He had initially thought that this brat Yu Tianlong was making fun of him, but when he saw the disappointment in his eyes...
Dugu Bo felt that he had misunderstood him.
After all, how old was Yu Tianlong? Added to the fact that he had never received any systematic education, it was only natural that he lacked a clear understanding of strength!
"Xiaolong, it's not that I, Dugu Bo, can't do it. It's just that Titan Giant Apes are far too rare. If we killed them, there wouldn't be any left in the future. As Soul Masters, we need to protect rare Soul Beasts, understand?"
"Apart from that one, Grandpa Dugu can help you with anything else!"
Watching Dugu Bo still putting on an act, Yu Tianlong nearly failed to hold back.
"If the Titan Giant Ape won't do, how about the Sky Azure Bull Python?"
Silence was tonight's Cambridge.
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally knew some of the more closely guarded secrets of the Soul Master World.
For instance, he happened to have read that ancient text.
The Sky Azure Bull Python was an existence even more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape!
Just where had this brat learned about these things?!
Why was every Soul Beast he mentioned more powerful than the last?!
He really was leaving him no way to step down gracefully!
The crucial thing was that his granddaughter and Ning Rongrong were both staring wide-eyed at him, traces of anticipation showing in their eyes.
His granddaughter in particular wore an expression that seemed to say, "Grandpa, hurry up and agree."
Although Dugu Bo really wanted to agree, he truly could not agree to this!
He would not even be enough to fill a plate for it!
Although he had never witnessed its strength, judging from the description, he was no match for it. Especially since Soul Beasts were already stronger than Soul Masters of the same level.
In the end, Dugu Bo had no choice but to brazenly shake his head under the disappointed gazes of Yu Tianlong, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan.
"This is also a rare Soul Beast that we need to protect. Your Grandpa Dugu could certainly kill it, but for the sustainable development of the Soul Master World, there are still some things we need to keep in mind!"
After saying this, even Dugu Bo himself grew a little embarrassed.
After all, even he felt a little embarrassed by the way he was blowing his own trumpet.
Seeing that the other party still stubbornly refused to admit it, Yu Tianlong was about to name a few more Soul Beasts when Dugu Bo suddenly stepped forward and covered his mouth.
"All right, Xiaolong, Grandpa Dugu understands what you want. I'll help you hunt down a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"There are still plenty of Soul Beasts of that age, so they aren't covered by rare Soul Beast protection. Grandpa Dugu can certainly kill one for you, or even capture it alive!"
Seeing Dugu Bo on the verge of cracking, Yu Tianlong stopped teasing him.
"All right, but I need a flying Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Dugu Bo truly did not know what to say. Flying Soul Beasts were so difficult to hunt down!
But since he had already given his word, even if his teeth were shattered, he could only swallow them!
"No problem. Xiaolong, can you come with me now?"
Under Dugu Bo's expectant gaze, Yu Tianlong slowly shook his head.
"Not yet, Grandpa Dugu. I can't leave without saying goodbye. I at least need to say goodbye to Brother Crown Prince..."
Before Yu Tianlong finished speaking, he felt Ning Rongrong tugging at the hem of his clothes beside him, her eyes glistening slightly and her lips jutting out in a deep pout.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlong added another sentence.
"Also, while I'm helping you with the experiments, I hope that if Rongrong wants to visit the place where I'm conducting them, you can bring her over."
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment. After all, the medicinal garden was his secret, and one more person meant one more risk of exposure.
Yu Tianlong was the person treating him and his granddaughter, so he was naturally an exception.
But Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There were too many implications involved, so Dugu Bo was also weighing the gains and losses.
After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Sure, no problem. Then how about I come pick you up tomorrow?"
This time, Yu Tianlong did not make any further requests and nodded decisively.
"All right. Grandpa Dugu, come pick me up at the crown prince's residence tomorrow!"
After receiving Yu Tianlong's definite answer, Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was not in that much of a hurry himself, he did not want his granddaughter to experience even a single outbreak of the poison!
So the sooner it could be resolved, the better!
After all, delay bred complications!
"Good, good, good. I'll come pick you up tomorrow!"
After saying this and chatting for a little while, Dugu Bo left.
Meanwhile, thinking that it was still early, Yu Tianlong had Dugu Yan teach him a few things before he left Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Ning Rongrong, who remained at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, looked at Dugu Yan and asked curiously:
"Yanzi, where does your grandpa live? Why do I feel like Brother Long is going somewhere very far away?"
"Not really. It's just inside Sunset Forest..."
