As she spoke, a fierce aura erupted from Ice Emperor, quickly suppressing Dugu Bo as a show of force. The suppression lasted only a moment, but it was enough to eliminate any ulterior motives in Dugu Bo's mind.

"Yes, senior!" Dugu Bo respectfully wiped the frozen sweat from his forehead with a trembling hand. "You may take this medicinal garden if you wish, senior. As for the antidote... it's entirely up to your discretion, senior."

"What's your name?" Xue Di didn't answer, but instead asked.

"Junior... Dugu Bo, a level 91 Control System Title Douluo," Dugu Bo answered truthfully.

"Dugu Bo, does that mean you don't believe me?" Xue Di said.

"Alas, senior, I didn't mean that." With a long sigh, Dugu Bo explained, "The poison in my body is a primordial toxin produced by cultivating my martial spirit. It has penetrated deep into my bone marrow and cannot be cured. Even if you possess heaven-reaching divine power, senior..."

"Sigh!" Dugu Bo sighed again, feeling utterly helpless and desperate.

"Snow Empress, when did you learn how to detoxify?"

Noticing something unusual in her abdomen, Xue Di turned her head and met Bing Di's big, puzzled eyes.

Although Dugu Bo did not believe that Xue Di could cure poison, Bing Di did. He just didn't know when Xue Di had learned to cure poison for others.

"I really don't know how to cure poison." Xue Di said helplessly, spreading her hands.

"Uh..." The light in Dugu Bo's eyes dimmed slightly, but this was within his expectations.

"Since you, senior, do not know how to cure the poison, may I request permission to return to this medicinal garden to suppress the toxins in my body at the critical moment when the poison takes effect?"

"If you seniors disagree, then forget it. But my granddaughter is only ten years old and has a bright future ahead of her. I hope you two seniors can have mercy and come to this medicinal garden to suppress the poison when my granddaughter is poisoned."

Dugu Bo's voice became agitated, and his dark green pupils were filled with humility.

Seeing that the two ferocious beasts did not react or answer, Dugu Bo's heart sank completely.

"Soul beasts are soul beasts, they have no sense of morality. Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo, you've really gone senile, actually hoping to gain the pity of two ferocious beasts..."

Silently mocking himself, Dugu Bo lowered his dark green head.

"A human girl around ten years old? She should taste pretty sweet," Hyotei thought. (Just kidding.)

"Sure." Nodding in agreement, Xue Di said earnestly, "If you want to come anytime, you can help me look after this place."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo suddenly looked up, the gloom in his eyes disappearing and replaced by a look of surprise. He had never encountered such a kind... ferocious beast before.

However, an even bigger surprise was yet to come, Xue Di continued.

"I said I don't know how to detoxify, but I didn't say I couldn't."

"The method of detoxification is very simple. I have three methods. The simplest one is to transfer the toxins in the body to one's own soul bone."

"In this way, when the toxins erupt, it is the lifeless soul bones that suffer."

"What!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide and pupils trembling. "Transferring the poison into the soul bone within the body... this..."

After thinking it over carefully, Dugu Bo realized that this was feasible, and he was overjoyed, his breathing becoming heavy.

"I never imagined that the problem that has plagued me for so many years could be solved so easily—transferring the toxins with the soul bone… How could I not have thought of such a simple method!"

"If I had thought of this sooner, my son, daughter-in-law, and spouse wouldn't have had to..."

A surge of sadness welled up inside him, blurring Dugu Bo's vision. Even this nearly 100-year-old "old man" couldn't hold back his tears.

He was both happy and sad, but the happiness outweighed the sadness.

At the very least, with the Soul Bone Detoxification Method, her granddaughter no longer has to suffer from the backlash of snake venom.

"Tsk, humans are indeed stupid!" Hyotei crossed her arms, her blue eyes filled with disdain, and her pink lips curled into a sneer. "They can't even figure out such a simple method. They're even more dense than Shiro! No wonder Shiro would rather gnaw on a block of ice than eat a human!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Di beside her closed her eyes helplessly, a vein throbbing slightly on her forehead.

With a long sigh, the aura condensed into a cloud of white mist in the air. The Snow Empress reached out and pulled the still-talkative Ice Empress in front of her. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and delivered a "hand chop" carrying a chilling aura, striking the Ice Empress's head with just the right amount of force.

"Hey, Yuki-tei, what are you doing? Ouch! That hurts!" Hyo-tei said coquettishly, covering her head with teary eyes.

"You're not much smarter than me," Xue Di scoffed. "The pot calling the kettle black..."

"Why are you being so fierce... You're probably going through menopause," Hyotei muttered.

A few thin black lines reappeared on Xue Di's forehead, but she was too lazy to argue with Bing Di.

"Thank you so much, senior. I will never forget your kindness in curing me. If there is anything you can do to help me, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Dugu Bo bowed respectfully to Xue Di with a serious expression.

As for the question of whether a human titled expert being so respectful to a ferocious beast lacked human dignity, none of that mattered to Dugu Bo.

As long as he could detoxify her and spare his granddaughter the suffering of the Azure Serpent's venom backlash, he would accept the spirit beast before him as his mother... cough cough.

What does it matter if I offer my heart to the ferocious beast before me!

"Don't worry, the method I'm about to use to detoxify the soul bone, although simple, has a major drawback."

The Snow Emperor spoke, "Soul bones, like the human body, have a limit to their tolerance. When the soul bone can no longer withstand the toxins you have transferred, the toxins transferred into the soul bone will erupt instantly. At that time, even if the spiritual energy of the Yin-Yang Eye suppresses it, you will only have one way out: death."

"This...it's alright!" Dugu Bo shook his head. "I was already nearing my end, with only a few years left to live. I'm just hoping to extend my life by a dozen years or so with the Soul Bone Detoxification Method, and see my granddaughter grow up!"

"As for my granddaughter, she is very smart, and I believe she can find a way to completely resolve the backlash from the toxins on her own."

"If all else fails, I can use my last moments to restore her complete soul bones..."

"Well!"

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that there were two ferocious beasts standing in front of him, and his heart clenched.
