Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 19 Dugu Bohui, temptation and pressure
Cooler weather.

The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard, making a rustling sound. The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow shone on a thin young figure. The shadow followed the fallen leaves, shifting around in the courtyard. Every move was filled with indescribable charm.

Lin Xiao continued to practice boxing as usual.

Dugu Yan said that she guessed Dugu Bo would be back.

Lin Xiao moved back to Dugu's house.

It has been three full months since the first time I tempered my body with evil fire.

The evil fire cannot erupt at any time, it needs to be accumulated. When the intensity of the evil fire exceeds the level that Lin Xiao's meridians can withstand, it will be time for the next evil fire to temper his body.

During this period, Lin Xiao adopted extreme training methods.

If you don’t die from practicing, practice until you die.

If you are dying, use Nine-Hearted Begonia to treat it.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan also tried it, but none of them were as fierce as Lin Xiao. They watched Lin Xiao torture them half to death, but they remained calm.

Thinking back to what Ye Qingxian said at that time, her face turned pale. She couldn't imagine what kind of pain it was to be tortured by the evil fire that made Lin Xiao live a life worse than death.

Therefore, even though Lin Xiao is young.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also corrected their attitudes and no longer treated Lin Xiao as a child as they did at the beginning. They even tried to learn the qualities of Lin Xiao.

"Whoo~"

After finishing a set of Five Animal Exercises, white mist emerged from Lin Xiao's body, and the breath he exhaled was also long and distant, more than three meters long.

"Where did you come from, little thing? What are you doing in my house?!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Lin Xiao was startled and looked back, only to see an old man with green hair who had arrived at the gate of the courtyard. His eyes were dark green in color, cold and evil, making people feel cold all over when they saw him.

It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake king.

Lin Xiao knew that this person must be Dugu Bo, so he bowed and said:

"This boy Lin Xiao is a friend of Miss Dugu Yan."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xiao with interest. It was really strange that this little kid, who was only six years old, was not scared to death after seeing him. Instead, he responded in a dignified and humble manner.

However, Dugu Bo was very experienced and accurately found the loophole in Lin Xiao's words.

"You said you were Yanyan's friend?"

"Will Yanyan be friends with a little kid? Even if Yanyan is really your friend, it looks like you've only lived in my house for a short time."

"I'm asking what you are doing in my house."

Dugu Bo smiled coldly and looked at Lin Xiao like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

A faint breath locked onto Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao's body stiffened and he felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that the real test had come. Duguyan was just a young girl, and he could easily approach her with her childlike appearance and sincerity.

However, Dugu Bo is suspicious and eccentric by nature. If he has the slightest suspicion, he might take action to test Lin Xiao, putting him in danger.

In order to gain Dugu Bo's trust, there must be sufficient reasons, and he must also know that Lin Xiao has the ability to save lives.

"Your Majesty the Poison Douluo, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Xiao had just finished speaking.

Dugu Bo sneered and said bluntly:
"Who do you think you are to wait for me?"

Lin Xiao: “…”

He knew that Dugu Bo had a strange personality and always kept to himself with few friends, but now he had a deeper understanding of the reason.

Just this mouth makes it hard for people to get close to him.

However, Lin Xiao smiled.

If it was Dugu Bo like this, he would feel more at ease.

He speaks his mind and does what he wants, unlike some old scoundrels who smile but hide their daggers.

"Hey! You still dare to laugh?"

Even a strong man at the Soul Douluo level would be terrified when facing him, and would be very careful for fear of making any mistakes. How could this little brat dare to laugh?
Dugu Bo was a little unhappy.

This feeling seems to be looked down upon.

"I've always heard that Poison Douluo has a strange personality, is incompatible with the secular world, and has few friends. But today, I think this is not true. Most people in the world are hypocritical and cunning, but Poison Douluo is a true person and disdains to flatter others."

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

Lin Xiao first praised Dugu Bo a few words and then gave himself a chance to show his support.

"It is precisely because of the example set by His Majesty the Poison Douluo that Miss Duguyan has inherited your fine tradition and has a naive and frank personality. I am honored to be her good friend and help her improve her strength."

Lin Xiao stacked another armor.

Tell Dugu Bo clearly that your granddaughter and I are good friends, and I have helped her improve her strength. I don't believe Dugu Bo would have the nerve to repay her with evil.

As for the truth of the words, the fact that Lin Xiao lived openly in Dugu Mansion and the servants were accustomed to it was the best proof.

Although Dugu Bo has few friends, he has met quite a few people over the years. However, those people in front of him are often either afraid of him, disgusted with him, or fawning on him.

It was unheard of for someone like Lin Xiao to be neither humble nor arrogant, to have no fear or disgust towards him, and to even be able to tell that the praise was sincere.

How rare!
Dugu Bo was in a good mood and said frankly:
"You come here and start flattering me, so you must be asking for something?"

"I usually look down upon such flatterers, but since you are somewhat sincere, I will give you a chance to speak. If I want to help, I will help. If I don't want to help, get lost as soon as possible!"

Dugu Bo actually didn't want to help.

But he was curious, what did such a strange little kid want from him?

Just listen to it, satisfy your curiosity, and help is just to talk about it.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

"My life is in danger because of my spirit defect. May I ask Your Majesty, Poison Douluo, how did you solve your spirit defect?"

boom!
The moment Lin Xiao finished speaking!
Dugu Bo burst out with a powerful pressure, revealing a terrifying aura. His originally playful eyes were now full of grimness, and he said in a cold voice:

"Who gave you the courage to speak nonsense in front of me?!"

Dugu Bo certainly knew that the Dugu family's martial spirit had flaws.

But he hid this secret, because once the Green Phosphorus Snake's martial soul defect was known to someone with ulterior motives, it would become his fatal weakness.

When the poison erupts, Dugu Bo is at his weakest.

As a result, he had to leave for several months, relying on the special magnetic field of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and the strength of a Titled Douluo to suppress the toxins in his body.

At this time, the secret was revealed by Lin Xiao.

A murderous look flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

If this boy can't give him a reasonable explanation, even if he is Yanyan's friend, he can only detain him first and get rid of him after interrogation!

Faced with that terrifying pressure.

Lin Xiao's body trembled uncontrollably.

However, he raised his head stubbornly, suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked into Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Senior Dugu."

"Because, my martial spirit is the same..."

"I want to cooperate with you. Saving me is also saving Miss Yanyan."

I heard the three words "Save Yanyan".

The terrifying pressure and murderous intent paused for a moment, and then receded like the tide.
