Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

"perhaps?"

Dugu Bo frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer. But he quickly relaxed, "Indeed, I was greedy. Although being poisoned is indeed unbearable, I can still live. But if I were to truly find an antidote, I fear I would lose all my poison-related skills."

Ouyang Ling remained noncommittal. "Do we still need to solve it?"

"untie!"

Dugu Bo did not hesitate and looked at Dugu Yan.

"But it's not for me, it's for Yan Yan."

"Even if your cultivation speed slows down in the future, and you no longer have powerful poisons to protect you?" Ouyang Ling said this not only to Dugu Bo, but also to Dugu Yan. After all, it was up to them to make the decision.

"untie!"

Dugu Yan smoothed her hair behind her ear, smiled resolutely, and said, "Although it's difficult to become a powerful Soul Master, I still have to think about my future children. If I marry Tianheng in the future but don't have an antidote, wouldn't that harm our future children?"

Dugu Bo, secretly gritting his teeth, thought, "..."

That brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan deserves to die!

Ouyang Ling was speechless: "..."

Wow! You're thinking that far ahead?

But that was none of his business, so he said, "Dugu, then I'll help you detoxify first."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan went to an open area in the main hall. She opened her arms wide and said, "Let's begin, I'm ready."

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

"Right here?"

"Right here."

Ouyang Ling stood up, and the Sea God Dragon Martial Soul was activated!

"It's just a matter of a soul skill."

However, before taking action, he turned to Dugu Bo and said, "If Senior Dugu wants to retain his poison skills while also seeking an antidote, I have another method. But this method has a flaw."

"really!?"

Dugu Bodun was delighted.

Who would have thought that after all the darkness, a new path would open up!

"certainly."

Ouyang Ling nodded, but also stated the conditions, "However, to achieve this, we will need quite a few rare herbs, which will take a considerable amount of time."

At this moment, his true intentions were revealed.

"That's not a problem."

Dugu Yan, who was waiting with her arms outstretched, noticed that the water was not coming. When she heard Ouyang Ling and Dugu Yan talking, she said, "My grandfather also has a medicinal herb garden where all kinds of herbs are grown, some of which even my grandfather himself doesn't recognize. If you need them, Ling, you can go to my grandfather's medicinal herb garden to find them."

Ouyang Ling suppressed a smile and feigned curiosity: "Oh? You have a medicinal herb garden like this at home?"

Dugu Yan assured her, "It's absolutely true."

Dugu Bo, who was "left out," was speechless.

Cough cough cough—, his little cotton-padded jacket has been letting in drafts all day, making him feel like coughing.

But when his gaze turned to himself, Dugu Bo nodded calmly, "Just do as Yan Yan said."

"Then there's no problem." As he spoke, ripples spread around Ouyang Ling. "Let me first neutralize Dugu's poison—Deep Blue Purification!"

In an instant, the azure waves, carrying the life force of the ocean, rippled out at the call of the sea dragon, enveloping the life afflicted by the deadly poison and soothing its body, which had been ravaged by the poison for so long and was now riddled with wounds…

Under Dugu Bo's watchful gaze, Ouyang Ling's summoned Azure Waves rapidly purified the toxins from Dugu Yan's body, leaving him unable to contain his shock!

Dugu Bo: I never expected that the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom that had troubled him for nearly half his life would be resolved by this kid's soul skill, which seemed to be a self-created soul skill.

And there is another important point:

When he first arrived, his focus was entirely on the poison, so he hadn't paid much attention to Ouyang Ling's age and cultivation level. Now, upon closer inspection, he realized that this kid was only eight or nine years old, yet his cultivation was already catching up to Yan Yan's!

Demon!

Just as Dugu Bo was shocked, and under his concerned gaze, it wasn't long before the "Deep Blue Purification" swept away the remaining toxins on Dugu Yan's body. Her beautiful hair turned completely black, and even her fingernails lost their previous emerald green color.

Seeing Ouyang Ling stop, Dugu Bo immediately rushed forward to check on her. After examining her, he found that there was indeed no trace of poison left on Dugu Yan's body, and Dugu Bo was relieved.

He turned around and looked intently at Ouyang Ling.

"Kid, I will keep my promise."

Overjoyed that her life was no longer in danger, Dugu Yan bowed and thanked him, saying, "Xiao Ling, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm not at a disadvantage."

Ouyang Ling smiled and waved his hand, then instructed, "Dugu, although I have cured you of the poison, your body has been eroded by these toxins for too long. Although you won't have much of a problem in the short term, for the sake of the future, it would be best if you stayed at home during the upcoming holiday and used some herbs to strengthen your body and supplement your diet with appropriate foods to regulate your health."

"no problem."

Dugu Yan readily agreed, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, "But Xiao Ling, look at my grandfather..."

"Let's wait a few days."

Ouyang Ling shook his head, not in a hurry.

"Given Senior Dugu's poisoning condition and his current cultivation level, his situation is definitely a hundred times more difficult than yours, and it will take just as long. So I need to discuss this with Brother Xue to avoid worrying him."

Dugu Yan nodded in understanding.

"That's true..."

"Hey, Ouyang kid."

At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Who is your Brother Xue?"

"Xue" is a royal surname, which is enough to attract his attention in Tiandou City.

Ouyang Ling: "Of course it's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."

In an instant, Dugu Bo frowned, a look of suspicion creeping into his eyes. "You're Xue Qinghe's man? Could it be that he sent you to cure Yan Yan's poison this time as well?"

"I am His Highness the Crown Prince's man." Ouyang Ling did not deny the first part of the statement, but countered with the second part: "However, what does Senior Dugu mean by 'sent here'?"

"Because I, Prince Xuexing, have a connection with him."

Dugu Bo didn't try to hide anything, but spoke frankly: "To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that your every move so far is Xue Qinghe's way of dealing with Xue Xing and Xue Beng, and he's trying to get to me first."

Ouyang Ling: "..."

You guessed half right.

However, he naturally couldn't admit it.

"Royalty and politics are none of my business," Ouyang Ling lied through his teeth, speaking without hesitation. "I learned that Dugu's poisoning was due to a series of coincidences, and my initial motivation to intervene stemmed from our friendship. Of course, the conditions offered by the senior were also quite attractive."

Dugu Yan was the first to nod in agreement.

"I think it's very reasonable."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "You little brat, you're quite honest." His tone was rather flat, revealing neither good nor bad intentions.

Ouyang Ling remained unmoved and instead retorted, "Senior Dugu, is it because of Brother Xue's identity that you feel troubled?"

"What's so difficult for me?"

Dugu Bo didn't take it to heart. "My friendship with Xue Xing stems from his kindness to me back then, and I've already repaid that debt. Besides..."

He glanced at Ouyang Ling.

"Are you trying to win me over with this?"

Ouyang Ling denied it: "We only have a personal relationship."

"That's good. I'm too lazy to deal with those troublesome matters between the royal families." Dugu Bo glanced at Dugu Yan, but couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Then, he gave Ouyang Ling an address, "Boy, this is my address in Tiandou City. Whenever you decide to go to my herb garden, come find me here."

Having said that, he was about to leave with Dugu Yan.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ling made a gesture to persuade him to stay.

"Not eating any snacks? Not drinking any tea?"

Dugu Bo didn't even turn his head:

"Keep it for yourself."

Dugu Yan turned around and waved her hand:

"See you in a few days, Xiao Ling. Thank you!"

As the mansion gates opened and closed, Ouyang Ling's smile vanished. He glanced at the untouched pastries on the table and touched the bridge of his nose.

"That's a pity."

Then he turned his head and asked:

"Grandpa Pufferfish, would you like some?"

The Porcupine Douluo, who had appeared beside Ouyang Ling at some point, shook his head. "No, I need to inform the young master about this first."

"Then I'll trouble Grandpa Porcupine to pass on a message to Sister Xue'er: The herbs in Dugu Bo's herb garden are very rare. Even he, a Poison Douluo, can't recognize them all. They might be some uncommon and rare medicinal materials. So I need a more complete book to help me identify them."

"it is good."

……

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.

"Is that all?" Qian Renxue asked, sitting behind her desk after listening to the report from the Porcupine Douluo. "Did Dugu Bo do anything out of line?"

"Yes," the Porcupine Douluo answered truthfully.

Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly sharpened, and in an instant, even the Porcupine Douluo felt the killing intent.

"What did he do?!"

Therefore, the Porcupine Douluo dared not be negligent in the slightest and reported Dugu Bo's every move in the main hall without any embellishment.

After hearing this, Qian Renxue's killing intent subsided.

"I'm sure Xiao Ling isn't injured."

"no."

The Path of the Porcupine Douluo:

"His granddaughter intervened and held back."

"That's good."

Qian Renxue suppressed her killing intent. Dugu Bo, however, was unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death.

"By the way, does Xiaoling want a more complete set of books?"

"Yes."

After a moment's consideration, Qian Renxue gave the instructions:

"Elder Porcupine, go back to the Spirit Hall now and ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for the most comprehensive book on the subject. He's a big fan of flowers and plants, so there's bound to be one that Little Zero will need."

Porcupine Douluo: "Yes."
