In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 104: End of the Foreshadowing (4000)

As Yin Lan finished speaking, Yin Luo, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, She Long, Cixue, and Guimei also walked out from the space crack.

Just like She Long and Cixue are Qian Renxue's two generals, as the two generals of the Pope's Palace, wherever there is Lao Ju, there is Lao Gui, and these two will always be entangled and inseparable.

I have to say again that in a sense, Tang Fozu's creative ability is really twenty years ahead of the industry (joy).

After explaining the situation to both parties in a few words, Dugu Bo put the spirit ring back. Looking at Yin Lan holding her heart, he sighed, "You little girl, give me a heads up next time. This old man almost had a heart attack."

"Come on, there's not that much age difference between us," Yue Guan's beautiful young face was filled with sarcasm. "I was wondering why you were running around the continent like crazy a few years ago, even daring to steal from my herb garden. I never thought that Bi Phosphorus Douluo, who is world-famous for his poison, could even poison himself. He's truly amazing!"

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo was speechless after being confronted by Yue Guan. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only hold back his anger and let Yue Guan rant on him, his face turning blue and purple.

Back then, the poison inherited by Dugu Xin was far beyond his own strength and could not be suppressed. In desperation, the flustered Dugu Bo looked for a way out everywhere, and that was how he came to have a feud with the Spirit Hall.

It's just that the Spirit Hall needed to hide its strength, and with Dugu Bo's "poison deterrence" and the appearance of Prince Xuexing of the Heaven Dou Empire, now was not a good time for the Spirit Hall to fall out, so the Spirit Hall gave Xuexing face. In the end, Yue Guan didn't take him seriously, otherwise Dugu Bo would have died long ago. You know, Yue Guan never fights alone, he will definitely drag ghosts and monsters to join in the fight.

Dugu Bo therefore owed Xue Xing a favor, which also became Xue Xing's trump card to protect himself in the royal dispute.

"What are you humming for? You have such a bad temper. If the Second Young Lady hadn't intervened, you, this old poisonous creature, would have died of poison in some corner, and your body would have been stinking!" Yue Guan was still outputting.

"What poison?" Dugu Yan, who had never understood the situation, noticed the key point and grabbed her grandfather, her face still showing tension. "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"Hey, it's all in the past. Look, grandpa is fine now. Don't think too much..." Dugu Boton felt a headache. Yue Guan was still spitting out insults over there, and Dugu Yan was chasing him closely over here. He felt terrible.

"Ah?" Yin Lan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dugu Bo in confusion, "Grandpa Dugu, you haven't told her yet?"

In the original history, Dugu Bo did not explain to Dugu Yan because Dugu Bo felt that there was no hope of detoxification, so he wanted to hide it from Dugu Yan for the rest of his life, at least to let his granddaughter live a worry-free life. Now that the poison in Dugu Bo himself has been detoxified, why hasn't he explained things clearly to Dugu Yan yet?
"The child is still young," Dugu Bo muttered softly, "I was afraid of scaring her, so I never had time to explain."

"Pretentious." Gu Yuena commented sharply.

"Then you should explain it to Sister Yanzi now. When you are ready, we will start detoxification." Yin Lan had no choice but to wave to Dugu Bo, then reached out and pulled Gu Yuena, motioning her to come closer to him and talk alone.

"Oh... Yanyan, I'm sorry, grandpa has always lied to you..." Dugu Bo sighed, then took Dugu Yan's hand, not daring to look at his granddaughter, and began to explain.

As the old man and the young girl were chatting, they hugged each other and burst into tears. It was extremely sad just to watch, until they were interrupted by a loud "Why?", and the emotions that had been brewing were immediately shattered.

Everyone looked over subconsciously. The voice came from the direction of Gu Yuena and Yin Lan, and it was Gu Yuena who shouted.

"You still say that I'm being pretentious. Didn't we promise to help others until the end? It doesn't take much effort, it's just something you can do easily." Yin Lan gestured to the people who looked over and hugged Gu Yuena's arm, pressing his body against hers. "Please, Sister Na'er~"

...Who am I? Where am I? What happened? What am I doing here? Is this still the same little devil?
Gu Yuena, who wasn't very bright to begin with, had never seen Yin Lan attack like this before. Her purple eyes seemed to turn into circles, and she began to stutter. "Let me...be clear...in advance, I'm helping them...for you!"

"mua~" Yin Lan jumped up and waved at Gu Yuena's profile. The fat dragon, who was a complete emotional idiot, was unable to resist the powerful straight ball and was defeated on the spot, turning into a steam girl.

Damn, so envious!

The expressions on Qian Renxue and Yinluo's faces became distorted.

"Are you done talking, Grandpa Dugu?" Yin Lan reached out and touched the teardrop-shaped pendant on her fair neck that could store living things, then took something out. "Shall we begin?"

It was a black branch, and at the top of the branch grew a palm-sized, pearl-like golden fruit.

"What a waste! What a waste!" Before Dugu Bo and his grandson could say anything, Yue Guan fell into his previous crazy state again when he saw the fruit.

"...Why are you starting again?" Ghost silently tugged at his partner, "Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know, but it must be a fairy grass. My perception is correct!" Yue Guan didn't recognize this fairy grass, but that didn't stop him from determining its identity. He looked at Gui Mei with some envy, "Lao Gui, do you think it's too late for us to change jobs now?"

"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, we are still here," Qian Renxue said dimly, "How about you switch to my side?"

She Long and Cixue also looked at them strangely.

"That's all I said," Yue Guan chuckled twice, "Young Master, don't forget it."

"This is the Xingluo Spirit Pearl, the most human-friendly immortal herb." Yin Lan also began to introduce the immortal herb in his hand. "Taking it can build the prototype of a soul core in your body in advance, and converge the toxins in your body in advance. When you have enough, it will help you form a soul core. As for what a soul core is, Grandpa Dugu knows, you can ask him yourself."

"Lao Ju, do you know what a soul core is? Is it some magical herb that brings about this special effect?" Guimei poked the old friend in confusion and asked in a low voice. Qian Renxue, She Long and Cixue also gave him inquiring looks.

"Hehehe! Of course!" Yue Guan put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "I don't know either!"

Damn, why are you so proud?
Everyone was speechless.

In fact, Yin Lan had once debated whether to take the Xingluo Lingzhu herself, but she gave up in the end. She was confident that she could condense her soul core without the help of this magical herb.

As for why she chose the Starry Spirit Pearl instead of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd for Dugu Yan... it was because Yin Lan had made a serious discovery. This Earth Dragon Golden Gourd wasn't, as many fan fiction had written, possessing the bloodline of an Earth Dragon, capable of purifying the blood of a Dragon-type martial spirit. She had specifically used her creative power to examine it, and it turned out to be a pure Earth-attributed immortal herb.

Then she remembered something. The origin of the name of the Earth Dragon Golden Pumpkin in the original book refers to the fact that after eating it, the eater can obtain the "power of the earth dragon to turn over", which means that after eating this thing, the strength attribute can be improved and the earth attribute can be obtained. In fact, it has nothing to do with the "earth dragon". Eating this thing really cannot detoxify Dugu Yan.

"Thank you... Thank you, Second Miss." Dugu Yan had just finished crying, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and she was sobbing while speaking. She looked timid as she took the Xingluo Lingzhu from Yin Lan's hand, completely different from the fearless big sister she used to be.

In the past, she loved her gorgeous purple hair and unique dark green eyes very much. She even developed a hobby of painting her nails with green nail polish. She regarded this as a sign of her powerful poison skills, but who knew the truth was so.

"Alright, what's the relationship between me and Grandpa Dugu? Don't be so formal, just call me by my name," Yin Lan walked over and wiped the tears from the corners of Dugu Yan's eyes. "My name is Yin Lan, and from now on, you'll be under my protection!"

Dugu Yan nodded with tears in her eyes, and without saying much, she took the Xingluo Lingzhu under Yin Lan's guidance, then sat cross-legged and began to absorb it.

...What a sinful woman.

Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Yinluo couldn't help but think about it.

"Hahaha, that's true," Dugu Bo laughed loudly, winking at Yue Guan. He wasn't wary of Yin Lan at all. At this moment, he didn't even realize that his own cabbage was being pushed away by another cabbage. He bowed solemnly to Yin Lan, "I need no words to thank you for your kindness, Lan Lan. From today on, our Dugu family will obey your orders!"

"I'll be busy from now on. You've been detoxified, but the flaws in the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit haven't been removed. I promised to help you and your grandson evolve their spirits, and now's the time to fulfill that promise," Yin Lan looked at Gu Yuena, "Sister Naer~"

"I know, I know." Gu Yuena's scalp tingled at the tone of her voice. She squeezed out a drop of blood from her fingertips and controlled it to dilute it several times before splitting it in two and throwing it between the eyebrows of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. "My bloodline is too strong for mortals. Ordinary people can't bear it. I can only dilute it before giving it to you two, grandfather and grandson. Focus your minds and calm your breath."

"Thank you..." Dugu Bo hadn't finished his words of thanks when he felt a powerful energy pouring into his body out of nowhere, as if something in his body had awakened. He quickly sat cross-legged beside his granddaughter and immersed himself in meditation.

A day passed, Qian Renxue had already left with She Long and Cixue, returning to the Tiandou Palace to handle matters related to the substitute, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei still did not leave and stayed in the Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Bo had just woken up from his trance when he saw a beautiful face filled with resentment facing him. It was very terrifying. Before he could vent his joy after the promotion, he was frightened again and let out a strange cry: "Juhuaguan, what the hell are you doing?!"

"I have to see with my own eyes the changes in you two, especially your granddaughter," Yue Guan said with a face full of resentment, "otherwise I will die with regrets!"

"Juhuaguan! Don't go crazy in front of me. Where is the prison ghost? Take your prison ghost away quickly!" Dugu Bo said with a displeased look on his face, almost cursing.

"So what did you gain?" Seeing him wake up, the ghost came over curiously.

"You two..." Dugu Bo's forehead was crossed, but the next second he seemed to remember something, and his anger instantly dissipated. He looked at the two of them with a mean look, "Eh? How did you know I was level 95?"

...Nimma, who asked you!

Yue Guan stopped laughing this time. He had been stuck at the same level for a long time because he had gone astray in his practice. Just as he was about to start cursing, Gui Mei quickly grabbed him.

"Hmm..." Dugu Yan also woke up, her eyes a little confused.

"How is it, Yanyan?" Dugu Bo hurried to his granddaughter's side, his eyes full of anticipation. Yue Guan also looked at him expectantly.

"My spirit seems to have changed," Dugu Yan said as she released her spirit. Two yellow spirit rings rose again, and her pupils once again turned into cold vertical pupils. But this time, two sharp horns appeared on her forehead, and dense green scales appeared on the skin of her arms, gleaming with an icy sheen. She continued, "And I seem to have reached level 30... How is this possible?!"

She repeatedly confirmed the fluctuations of soul power in her body, and the confusion on her face gradually dissipated and turned into astonishment.

"It should be more than level 30. The specific level will be revealed after you obtain your third spirit ring." Yin Lan handed two packed lunch boxes to the grandfather and grandson. "The dragon bloodline of the Fat Dragon is one of the two strongest in the world. Even Grandpa Dugu has advanced two levels. Your martial spirits should be no worse than the Yu family's lizards now."

"Hmph, now I can call you little poisonous dragons." Gu Yuena still spoke arrogantly.

"Since she's said so," Yin Lan heard this, stepped forward and took another look at the appearance of Dugu Yan's spirit, and finally concluded, "Then your spirit should now be called the 'Green Phosphorus Holy Dragon'."

"Alas." Yue Guan became more and more envious as he watched, but as Bibi Dong's subordinate, he was able to be pulled by Yin Lan to resolve the conflict with Dugu Bo because of the cooperative relationship between the two parties. Otherwise, if he had a conflict with Dugu Bo again one day, and he didn't know that Dugu Bo's martial soul had evolved, he would probably be in trouble.

"What? Lao Ju? Do you still want to compete with me now?" Dugu Bo looked at him with a servile look.

"Go away," Yue Guan rolled his eyes at him, and then he and Gui Mei looked at Yin Lan together, "Thank you, Second Miss, for giving me a chance. We both want to thank you here."

"There's nothing else to do. You should go back too, so His Holiness the Pope won't think too much." Yin Lan also issued an order to expel them and signaled Gu Yuena to open a space crack leading directly to Wuhun City.

"Then we'll say goodbye here, everyone. Goodbye." Yue Guan and Gui Mei said politely at last, and then crossed the space crack together.

Watching the two people leave, Yin Lan let out a long sigh and unconsciously held Gu Yuena's hand.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuena looked at the girl next to her.

"...I've already laid all the necessary groundwork. I won't let the future turn out like the one in the prophecy," Yin Lan murmured. "I promise..."

“…I will create a beautiful future.”
