Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 70: Then I will become the Venerable
Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan's room was very messy and didn't have the feeling that a girl should have at all.

Although there was no sign of clothes being messed up in every corner, the bedding on the bed was piled up in a mess, and various cosmetics on the dressing table were placed in a mess, making way for a plate full of pastries to make precious space.

On the bookshelf next to it, books were stacked horizontally into several different piles. On the table, there were high-quality pens and ink and expensive drawing paper.

Although it looks elegant, there are a lot of ink stains on the table and drawing paper made of sandalwood, which shows that the user does not know how to use these things at all.

Logically speaking, given Duguyan's status, her room should have been cleaned by a special servant, right? Could it be that Duguyan could make a mess in a short time after cleaning every day?

From the surface, it doesn't look like it's happening at all.

Dugu Yan herself didn't think there was anything wrong with these things. Seeing Chen Ming's eyes full of doubts, she answered casually.

"I don't like outsiders entering my room, even servants at home. So soon after I awakened my martial spirit, I learned to clean my room by myself."

After Dugu Yan finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and found that his words seemed to be very ambiguous.

"I mean... you are not an outsider... not... anyway..."

Dugu Yan tried to explain something incoherently, but after stuttering for a long time, he gave up and lowered his head like an ostrich.

"Sit here for a while, I'll go clean up."

Dugu Yan pushed Chen Ming down on the stool next to her, then pulled out an iron basin from the corner of the room, ran out of the house in a hurry, and threw Chen Ming, a man, into her room.

To be honest, this was the first time Chen Ming had experienced such a thing in his two lives. Although he felt a little sad that Dugu Yan's performance was completely different from when he was in the academy, his whole body subconsciously tensed up.

I never had a relationship in my previous life for various reasons, and after I started working, I gave up on getting married because my wallet was too small.

After reincarnating into this life, he basically spent every day in cultivation since he was six years old. His occasional pastime on weekdays was to play with scorpions in the scorpion cave, or to have a solo with the captured soul beasts.

Although he had the capital and ability to live a life of luxury in this life, Chen Ming had never touched that kind of thing.

It can even be said that because of his concentration on cultivation over the years and the consumption of whale glue, he might not be as good as he was in his previous life when he watched countless movies in this aspect.

Chen Ming felt indescribably awkward when he was in Duguyan's room. When Duguyan was still here, he dared to look around her room in front of her. But now that Duguyan was gone, Chen Ming didn't dare to look around casually.

He thought about it, then picked up a soul beast illustration book that he had read many times from the bookshelf beside him, sat on the chair and began to appreciate it carefully as if he was reading it for the first time.

Soon, the door of the room was opened, and Dugu Yan, who had washed her face, returned to her room carrying the basin.

Looking at Chen Ming who seemed fascinated by the soul beast encyclopedia, Dugu Yan felt both angry and amused.

After casually throwing the basin into the corner, Dugu Yan sat in front of Chen Ming and patted Chen Ming's shoulder.

"We've come this far, and I still don't know your story. How about you tell me about it when no one else is around?"

"There's nothing to hide. After all, it's not something that needs to be kept secret. I'm actually a little surprised that you don't know..."

Chen Ming put the soul beast illustration book in his hand aside, looked at Dugu Yan, and calmly told the story of his life. He had a simple childhood. His parents passed away when he was two years old, and he has lived almost exclusively in the training ground since then.

After awakening his martial spirit at the age of six, he was told of the family curse, so he devoted himself to cultivation, hoping to solve the problem that had plagued his family for hundreds of years.

The unknown sacrifice brought about the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower Soul Ring that surpassed the limit of the first soul ring, the second soul ring of the Millennium Emerald Scorpion absorbed a few months ago, and the external soul bone after absorbing the soul ring...

Except for the vague thing about the golden finger, Chen Ming basically told Dugu Yan everything else.

After saying this, Chen Ming still felt a little proud.

After all, although he did not deny that his golden finger had helped him, his daily efforts were still indispensable in achieving these goals.

Whether it was the cultivation of soul power, the polishing of the body, or the development of the golden finger, it all consumed a lot of his energy and effort.

But after listening to Chen Ming's self-narration, Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly turned red. She hugged Chen Ming, her voice choked with sobs.

"You have put in so much hard work and effort to shoulder the responsibility. You are truly amazing."

Dugu Yan's words were sincere.

She thought she was really much worse than Chen Ming.

They both lost their parents at a very young age, both had a grandfather to take care of them, and both had major flaws in their martial arts spirits.

After Chen Ming knew about the problem with his martial soul, he did not think of escaping or seeking help from others. Instead, he took it for granted that all the burdens fell on himself, and turned all his time and energy into fuel to achieve his goal.

For years, he cultivated his soul power in the dark cave, enduring pain to hone his body. He gave up his childish nature of loving to play, and everything was done just for that possible goal.

In order to solve the problem, I naturally challenged the limits that ordinary people could not understand. In the end, I really relied on my talent and my own efforts to solve the impossible challenge.

Dugu Yan felt that she was too weak compared to Chen Ming.

Ever since she knew about her family's problems, she had been reluctant to practice. Ever since the first attack of the toxin in her body, which caused her great pain, Dugu Yan placed all her hopes of solving the problem on her grandfather Dugu Bo.

At this moment, in Dugu Yan's eyes, Chen Ming was simply a replica of herself, and a better self.

Originally, she didn't quite understand why Chen Ming could solve her family's martial spirit problem, but after listening to Chen Ming's story, Dugu Yan felt that it seemed too normal.

"Have you ever thought about what to do if the problem is not solved after you absorb the two spirit rings? Will you be desperate?"

"It hasn't been solved yet?" Chen Ming answered without thinking: "If it hasn't been solved, then the method must be wrong. Just keep looking for other methods."

"If absorbing spirit rings can't solve the defects in my origin, then I will become a Titled Douluo."
