Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 17: Further Securing the Dugu Grandfather and Granddaughter

"Thank you for your help, Senior!"

After managing to stand up with some difficulty, Xiao Yu cupped his hands and bowed to Dugu Bo.

"It's nothing. You saved my granddaughter, so this is the least I can do. In fact, I should be the one thanking you... Sigh, I just didn't expect us to meet again so soon, and for you to save my granddaughter this time. Consider this as repayment for the time I saved you. From now on, we're even."

Dugu Bo spoke matter-of-factly.

He was a man who always distinguished between gratitude and grudges.

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

After all, no one knew if the toxins in Yan Yan's body would have killed her before he could arrive.

Therefore, he couldn't just brush this off casually.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Xiao Yu shook his head and said slowly,

"No, Senior. To be honest, the toxin flare-up in Sister Yan Yan was caused by Wolong's Radiant Breath. So, strictly speaking, it's my fault. Treating Sister Yan Yan is something I should do."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Yu curiously.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Senior, here's what happened..."

"..."

After Xiao Yu explained his thoughts, Dugu Bo's expression became incredibly complex.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel anger, frustration, or relief.

He was angry and frustrated because this kid had almost killed Yan Yan.

But he was also relieved because this kid had saved Yan Yan.

"You little rascal, in just two days, you've managed to cause trouble for both me and my granddaughter! I really need to keep Yan Yan away from you in the future..."

In the end, Dugu Bo could only speak with a mix of helplessness and annoyance.

As a Titled Douluo, when had he ever been put in such a position?

He had suffered a loss but couldn't even retaliate.

This was the first time Dugu Bo had experienced such a complicated mix of emotions.

Seeing Dugu Bo's resentful expression, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't mean to. Who knew the toxins in Sister Yan Yan's body could backfire so violently? What's even stranger is that Sister Yan Yan is only a Great Spirit Master. Even if she had toxins in her body, they shouldn't be this potent.

Senior Dugu, are the toxins in Sister Yan Yan's body from the Emerald Serpent? If so, is there something wrong with her Martial Soul? Otherwise, how could a mere ten-something-level Emerald Serpent have such powerful toxins?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Dugu Bo's face showed a hint of surprise.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yu to figure out so quickly that there was something wrong with Yan Yan's Martial Soul.

"This matter is a family secret of the Dugu family. I can't tell you."

Dugu Bo spoke with a dark expression.

He was truly ashamed to talk about this. The Dugu family, known as the most skilled poison users on the continent, had been nearly wiped out by their own poison.

Not only did he himself have to endure the torment of the toxins, but even his granddaughter, Yan Yan, had a massive buildup of toxins in her body.

There was no telling when the toxins might flare up and kill her.

If this got out, it would be a laughingstock.

And if their enemies found out, the Dugu family's survival would be in serious jeopardy.

"Senior, if you really don't want to talk about it, I understand. But I think that since Sister Yan Yan's toxins have already been partially purified by me, why not let her come a few more times? Let me completely cleanse the toxins in her body before we discuss anything else. At the very least, let's ensure Sister Yan Yan's safety first. After all, the toxins in her body are too dangerous. It's best to cleanse them while she's still young."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

The toxins in Yan Yan's body could be completely cleansed?!

How was that possible?

This kid actually had such an ability?

Even he, the Poison Douluo, had no way to deal with the toxins that had been accumulating in Yan Yan's body since she was in the womb.

Yet this kid claimed he could purify them?

"Xiao Yu, are you saying you have the ability to purify toxins?"

Dugu Bo asked with a mix of disbelief and hope.

"Yes, my Wo Long's first spirit skill, Radiant Breath, not only heals but also clears negative effects. The reason Teacher Erlong was able to walk back was because my Radiant Breath cleared her pain, making her more comfortable. It was the same for Sister Yan Yan earlier."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

The person he had been searching for decades to cure the Dugu family's poison had just appeared like this?

It felt almost too good to be true.

However, seeing is believing. Dugu Bo immediately called his granddaughter in to check the state of her toxins.

Earlier, he had only checked to ensure Yan Yan was out of danger, but now he needed to examine her thoroughly.

"Yan Yan, come in!"

"Coming, Grandfather!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan quickly walked into the room.

Now, with most of the toxins in her body cleansed, Dugu Yan looked even more radiant and beautiful.

The emerald green in her eyes had turned into a lighter shade of green, and the gloomy aura around her had disappeared.

Dugu Yan now exuded the lively energy of a youthful and lively young girl.

Seeing his granddaughter's dramatic transformation, Dugu Bo was once again stunned.

How had he not noticed such a significant change earlier?

Before Dugu Bo could speak, Dugu Yan, upon entering the room, ignored her grandfather and rushed over to hug Xiao Yu tightly.

"Xiao Yu, I really need to thank you. You saved my life!"

Dugu Yan squeezed Xiao Yu tightly against her chest, her face glowing with a radiant smile.

Her tone was filled with the relief of someone who had narrowly escaped death.

After all, if it weren't for Xiao Yu, she would have died on the street.

"Sister Yan Yan, this is partly my fault. It's only right that I help you."

Feeling the softness and fragrance of Dugu Yan's embrace, Xiao Yu smiled.

With Dugu Bo present, he didn't know where to put his hands.

Seeing his granddaughter immediately hug Xiao Yu upon entering, Dugu Bo was displeased but held back his anger, remembering that Xiao Yu was Yan Yan's savior. However, his emerald green eyes glared at Xiao Yu with clear annoyance.

Soon, unable to bear it any longer, Dugu Bo separated them and quickly took Dugu Yan's hand to check her pulse.

Right now, he only wanted to know if what Xiao Yu had said was true.

However, upon sensing that the toxins in Dugu Yan's body had indeed been significantly cleansed—with about a third of the deeply rooted toxins already removed—Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock.
