Bibi Dong became a little devil incarnate, and Nan Huai'an began reciting
At those words, all three froze.
What was going on?
The original timeline...
Many viewers burst out laughing.
"Call her Mom? His Holiness the Pope is killing me! As expected of His Holiness the Pope, what an unusual mind! I'm dying here. Is this the self-cultivation of the strong?"
"His Holiness the Pope really knows how to take advantage of people. And making Poison Douluo call His Holiness the Pope Mom? Just imagining that scene is hilarious."
Sunset Forest
"What? This Bibi Dong actually dared to say that?"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and his face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
My lifetime of illustrious reputation was actually going to be ruined by Bibi Dong.
I was waiting to hear what Nan Huai'an would say, and you, Bibi Dong, came out with something this outrageous?
Didn't I have any dignity?
Dugu Yan snickered beside him.
She just thought Bibi Dong was adorable. Such a tiny Bibi Dong really would say anything.
Shrek Academy
"What? Bibi Dong could actually say something like that?"
"Truly earth-shattering wisdom!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar doubled over with laughter.
What a performance! Who could put on a show like you, Bibi Dong?
"Six-year-old Bibi Dong is so entertaining!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help laughing.
Although she often ran wild in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had seen plenty of amusing incidents-calling her a veteran at holding back laughter would be no exaggeration-she had never heard a remark like Bibi Dong's in her life.
Even Zhu Zhuqing let out a rare, quiet laugh.
In her dorm room, Xiao Wu pointed at the sky screen.
"Bibi Dong, your day has finally come! You've made a fool of yourself, and the whole continent knows!"
More, as much as possible. Say more outrageous things.
That way, I could feel a little happier.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't believe Bibi Dong would actually say something like that. It truly opened his eyes.
Even Tang San let out a few rare laughs.
The Crown Prince's residence
"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Bibi Dong, I never imagined you were this outrageous as a child. You look so lofty and untouchable, yet you're so different in private."
Qian Renxue was delighted.
As long as Bibi Dong gave the people of the continent something to ridicule, she was happy.
Pope's Hall
"What? Call her Mom?"
Hu Liena's eyes widened, her little mouth slightly open, as though she had heard something unbelievable.
"How could you tell him to call you Mom? I could rack my brains and never come up with that. You were practically a little devil incarnate, and you even looked so pleased with yourself, Teacher."
"Teacher, Nana never knew you had this sort of taste!"
Bibi Dong's face burned with shame. "Shut up!"
Damn you, Young Girl Dong! Did you even know how to talk? Why did you have to say that?
It was over, completely over. Now the whole continent knew.
How utterly humiliating.
Why would you say that? I was never like that as a child! Fake, it was all fake! Hurry up and turn off the sky screen! And you, Nan Huai'an-as her teacher, why didn't you stop Young Girl Dong?
Hu Liena muttered under her breath, "You won't even let me talk about it."
Bibi Dong's fists cracked. "Nana!"
The original timeline...
"You-you actually dared to take advantage of my father!"
Dugu Xin was furious.
"If your father can call Teacher Dad, why can't he call me Mom?"
Bibi Dong gave a little huff, finding nothing wrong with what she had said.
"Dong'er, don't make careless jokes."
Nan Huai'an spoke up to remind her.
She really dared to joke about anything.
Making Dugu Bo call you Father-if the real Poison Douluo found out, he would probably leap into a towering rage.
"Yes, Teacher. Anyway, I've already said it."
Bibi Dong was unconcerned, but her expression was exceedingly smug, her eyes curved into crescents and her lips lifted in a lovely arc.
Having Teacher backing me up really made a difference.
Seeing Bibi Dong's little expression, Nan Huai'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The original timeline...
"Look at His Holiness the Pope's smug expression. So cheeky! It looks like she didn't listen to Brother Nan at all."
"Only birds of a feather flock together. Brother Nan and His Holiness the Pope truly are a perfect match."
Many viewers had their eyes thoroughly opened.
Pope's Hall
Bibi Dong held her head, her face full of shame and anger. Why did she have to make such an outrageous expression, too?
Young Girl Dong, I hated you to death.
Hu Liena covered her mouth and snickered, noticing that Bibi Dong was so embarrassed even her ears had turned red.
Right then, she wished she could record it all.
The original timeline...
"Hmph... hmph..."
Dugu Bo said nothing, breathing heavily, his face scarlet. He wanted to let loose a string of curses the very next moment, but forcibly held himself back.
Why?
Wasn't it because the other party knew how to cure the poison?
If he blew up at the other party now, who would cure it?
Without a shred of backbone, he, Dugu Bo, truly had no dignity left.
Dugu Bo swallowed his anger and slowly said,
"Can you tell me now?"
Nan Huai'an paused. He wasn't angry even after that?
A real man!
Who would have thought Dugu Bo at this point in time was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, a master of endurance?
Nan Huai'an stopped dragging things out and said bluntly, "Dugu Bo, the reason you're poisoned comes from your Martial Soul, correct?"
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted.
"Yes. How did you know?"
As his founding disciple, Bibi Dong pursed her little lips and said,
"That's because my teacher knows astronomy above and geography below. There is nothing he doesn't know, nothing he doesn't understand. That poison of yours is nothing at all in my teacher's eyes."
Dugu Bo didn't know whether Bibi Dong was telling the truth, but to be so good at bootlicking at her age-he, Dugu Bo, truly had to hand it to her.
Nan Huai'an was very satisfied. This child could be taught.
Bibi Dong was quite good. There was no need for her teacher to train her personally.
Dugu Bo continued, "You're right. Could you be more specific?"
Nan Huai'an also knew that this alone couldn't convince Dugu Bo, so he continued,
"Your poisoning comes from the backlash of your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's innate lethal venom. And Dugu Bo, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, whose venom is even more ferocious than that of an ordinary Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Beast."
"On top of that, your body cannot withstand it. Over the years, the toxins have seeped into your blood and bone marrow, becoming entangled with your Soul Power, making them impossible to eliminate completely. Forcibly expelling the poison would destroy all your poison cultivation, and this poison is also passed down to your descendants.
"And every midnight, noon, and rainy day, the poison flares up. First, both sides of your rib cage go numb and itch, followed by needle-like stabbing pain through the meridians all over your body. The pain is worst at the crown of your head and the soles of your feet."
"Pale blue serpent patterns emerge beneath your skin, your hair takes on a blue-green sheen, and your pupils turn jade green. During an attack, your muscles twitch uncontrollably, cold sweat keeps seeping out, and it feels as though countless venomous snakes are gnawing at your bones from inside. The agony is unbearable."
"In the end, you can only grit your teeth and endure it, relying on Soul Power to suppress the restless toxins. It is precisely because you have endured this torment for so many years that you, Dugu Bo, have become withdrawn and ill-tempered."
The moment his words fell silent.
Cold sweat poured down Dugu Bo's back, and he staggered two steps backward.
Yes, exactly right. Not a word was wrong. It was completely correct.
At that moment, Dugu Bo could no longer deny whether Nan Huai'an before him truly had genuine ability, but curing the poison really did require him.
