"Everyone who knows me, Du Cheng, praises me as an 'honest young man.' The adjective 'greed' has never been associated with me, Du Cheng."
"My request is actually quite simple: if I can help you remove the poison from your body, I want you..."
Ignoring Dugu Bo's incredulous gaze, Du Cheng calmly stated his requirements:
"Become my subordinate!"
"what?"
Without a doubt, another loud shout rang out:
"Kid, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Letting out a cold laugh, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Du Cheng turned hostile:
With his strength and status, he could easily become an elder in the Spirit Hall.
But this brat in front of me actually wants to be my subordinate? That's just wishful thinking!
"Since the words came from my mouth, of course I know what I said."
Mr. Dugu, don't you want your own granddaughter to...?
"Don't worry, Master Dugu. Since I dare to make such a request, I can naturally guarantee to solve your problem."
Seemingly worried that Dugu Bo might doubt his abilities, Du Cheng patted his chest earnestly as he spoke:
"You can completely trust Du Cheng!"
Hehe~
Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Dugu Bo was so angry he laughed:
Was that what Lao Tzu meant when he asked me?
"Boy, do you even know what a Title Douluo is?"
Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Du Cheng, and his expression turned extremely gloomy:
"You think you can subdue me so easily? You're dreaming."
I don't know if it's considered wishful thinking.
Shaking his head, Du Cheng's expression remained completely unaffected by Dugu Bo:
"But I know that if she can't be detoxified in time, Dugu Yan probably won't live more than three years!"
"you……"
Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Dugu Bo's expression froze:
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed outmaneuvered by the brat in front of him.
Since his son's death, Dugu Bo has regarded his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, as his only child.
Watching his beloved granddaughter die was, of course, unacceptable to Dugu Bo.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll turn against you again after I'm cured of the poison?"
Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Du Cheng, and he made one last struggle:
Rather than becoming Du Cheng's subordinate, he still wanted to resolve the issue with a few promises.
"Old Master Dugu is extremely famous throughout the Douluo Continent for keeping his promises. If you are willing to break your promise, that is of course not a problem."
After a pause, Du Cheng's gaze returned to Dugu Bo:
"However, I just hope that you can afford the corresponding price when the time comes."
Breach of promise?
If Dugu Bo really dares to break his promise, then Du Cheng wouldn't mind letting him see the dangers of the Douluo world:
Check out this scene from Limit Douluo where debt collectors are on the spot!
"Haha~"
Dugu Bo was of course unaware of Du Cheng's thoughts.
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Dugu Bo let out a soft chuckle:
"In that case, I'd like to see what price you can make me pay."
After uttering that harsh remark, Dugu Bo continued:
"After all that talk, you still haven't shown me how you can help me detoxify."
Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Du Cheng, and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes:
"After all this trouble, you're not just all talk, are you?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Du Cheng's lips curled into a smile:
"Since Mr. Du dares to make such a boastful statement, he is certainly not afraid of being doubted by you."
Before Dugu Bo could react, Du Cheng had already thrown a handful of white dust at him.
"Good boy!"
Seeing Du Cheng's actions, Dugu Bo was startled, but he didn't flinch in the slightest.
He knew very well that this was Du Cheng's way of proving himself.
As the powder entered his body, Dugu Bo couldn't help but blush, and then he let out a muffled groan:
"What a powerful poison!"
It took Dugu Bo four or five minutes to open his eyes again after circulating his soul power.
"Being able to release such a potent poison, I have come to trust you somewhat."
Out of caution, Dugu Bo did not inhale too much of the powder he had just inhaled.
Even so, he still felt a ripple in his soul power.
It's no exaggeration to say that if there were enough of this white powder, it could easily kill him!
"Old Master Dugu has misunderstood; this is not some kind of poison."
Du Cheng gave Dugu Bo a sincere smile before continuing:
"This is just a special powder, specifically designed to draw out toxins from other people's bodies."
"Normally, the more toxins a person has in their body, the stronger their reaction will be."
"I know."
Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Dugu Bo couldn't help but nod sullenly.
"I now believe in your abilities. So, what are your plans for treating me and my granddaughter?"
The point was too pointed; they didn't want Du Cheng to continue.
If it weren't for the first time they met, he would have suspected that this thing was specially prepared for him.
In this respect, Dugu Bo really wronged Du Cheng:
In fact, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, besides Dugu Bo, there is another person who is equally outstanding in the use of poison...
"Poisoning is easy, but antidote is not."
Du Cheng glanced at Dugu Bo, a helpless expression on his face:
"Especially the toxin that is ingrained in the blood of the old man Dugu, the only way to remove it without affecting your strength is through gradual and persistent effort."
"In addition, it also requires a large amount of precious medicinal materials."
When his gaze fell on Dugu Bo, Du Cheng's expression was exceptionally sincere:
"Given Old Master Dugu's status, he wouldn't ask a junior like me to collect medicinal herbs for you, would he?"
"Humph!"
Although he didn't put on airs in front of Du Cheng, Dugu Bo still maintained the pride of a Title Douluo.
As soon as Du Cheng uttered his words, he let out a haughty snort:
"But these are just some herbs, which I can certainly provide."
After finishing his words, Dugu Bo patted his chest confidently:
"I have a separate residence in the Star Dou Great Forest, where various herbs are widely cultivated. Once you arrive, you can pick any herbs you wish for yourself."
"That's a good feeling!"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Du Cheng couldn't help but break into a big smile.
If he hadn't retained some rationality, he would have wanted to make a fly-like rubbing-hands motion:
I've been waiting to hear those words from you for a long time!
"In that case, when do you plan to set off with me?"
"Tomorrow?"
