Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 31 Poisonous Beauty, Provoking Dugu Bo

"..." After Yun Yibai finished asking, the atmosphere at the scene became very tense. Dugu Bo's expression had already turned ashen when he heard about the change in Dugu Yan's hair color.

Dugu Bo's expression kept changing, which showed just how conflicted he was.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

"Hmph! Kid, don't worry about it!" In the end, Dugu Bo still didn't tell Yun Yibai the reason. He waved his sleeve and left.

Yun Yibai had not been unaware of this outcome, after all, he was ultimately just an outsider who did not belong to the Dugu family.

Dugu Bo refused the conversation, but Yun Yibai remained calm. He was waiting for either Dugu Yan or Dugu Bo to come to him.

He'd already asked his question, and if no one gave him an explanation in the end, it would inevitably breed resentment. So even if Dugu Bo didn't come, Dugu Yan would.

On this side, after leaving Yun Yibai's side, Dugu Bo went to find Dugu Yan.

"Grandpa?" Dugu Yan was a little surprised that Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai's conversation ended so quickly.

"Come with me!" That's what he said, but in reality, Dugu Bo quickly took Dugu Yan away from where they were.

When they reappeared, the two had already arrived at Dugu Bo's residence in Tiandou City.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? You seem much more nervous than usual!"

Dugu Yan did not lose his composure because of Dugu Bo's impatience. He skillfully made Dugu Bo a cup of tea.

"Come on, Grandpa, relax!" Dugu Yan handed the tea to Dugu Bo.

"Yanyan, where's the funnel Grandpa gave you back then?" Dugu Bo asked, remembering the important matter after taking a small sip.

"Grandpa, is this what you mean?" After thinking for a moment, Dugu Yan took out an hourglass of green fine sand from her personal storage soul tool.

The hourglass of life made from the blood of the Azure Serpent King is indeed extraordinary; no matter how it is shaken, the fine green sand inside will not flow erratically.

"Almost one-sixth!" Dugu Bo's heart sank the moment he saw the hourglass of life. When he broke through to the Soul King realm, it was one-quarter full.

Dugu Bo wanted to see if Dugu Yan's hair color was really as Yun Yibai said, but he remembered that he didn't spend every day with Dugu Yan, so he had no reference value for such subtle changes.

"Grandpa, what's this for?"

Dugu Yan was well protected by Dugu Bo. Even now, at around sixteen years old, Dugu Yan is still unaware that she, a soul master who plays with poison, has been poisoned.

"It's just a little thing!" Dugu Bo avoided answering and returned the hourglass of life to Dugu Yan. Because of the death of his son Dugu Xin, Dugu Bo chose a different way of educating her. Although he did urge Dugu Yan to cultivate her soul power, he loved her more than anything else.

Perhaps the reason for this change is because he is now a Title Douluo!

"By the way, Grandpa has been a bit busy lately and has neglected you a little. How's your cultivation going?"

"If you're always following someone who's obsessed with fighting and cultivation, it's impossible not to improve," Dugu Yan replied with a smile.

"Actually, I already have a feeling. I estimate that I should be able to break through to level 39 within this month." Dugu Yan's words were filled with undisguised pride, and she only showed such a charming and innocent expression when facing Dugu Bo. With her talent, such a performance was already quite remarkable.

"Okay, okay!"

"Looks like that brat isn't entirely useless after all!"

Dugu Bo chatted with Dugu Yan for a while longer.

……

"You brat!" Dugu Bo approached Yun Yibai again.

"Senior Dugu!"

"Tell me! What exactly do you know?" Dugu Bo sat down on the sofa, his gaze completely unwavering.

"Considering Yanzi's martial spirit, the only reason I can think of is poison!"

"Although Senior Dugu and Yanzi, your martial souls are both the poison-attribute Azure Scale Serpent, and you are experts in playing with poison, but..." Yun Yibai didn't finish his sentence.

Even if Yun Yibai didn't say anything, Dugu Bo could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"Boy, are you questioning me?" Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Yun Yibai.

"I wouldn't dare!"

The atmosphere was tense, but the awkward silence didn't last long, as Dugu Bo broke it first.

"Kid, you guessed right." Dugu Bo simply answered Yun Yibai's question and then said nothing more. Moreover, for Dugu Bo, there was no need to give Yun Yibai a follow-up. He was a highly respected Title Douluo, while Yun Yibai was only a Soul Master.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Silence fell once again.

"There are not many people on this continent who understand pharmacology, but there is a group of people who specialize in studying pharmacology."

"I wonder if Senior Dugu ever considered collaborating with them?"

"Tch! Who do you take me for? I am the supreme master of poison, Dugu Bo. Do you think anyone else can solve my problem?" Dugu Bo was arrogant, or rather, he was full of confidence in his poison skills. If even he was stumped, how could anyone else possibly have a solution?

"I wonder if Senior Dugu has ever heard of a family that was originally the Po family, one of the four single-attribute clans of the Haotian Sect."

Dugu Bo: "Ha! So you're talking about that pack of stray dogs!"

Dugu Bo was right. After the Tang Hao and Qian Xunji incident, the Clear Sky Sect faced repercussions from the Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect acted ruthlessly, choosing to close its gates.

They managed to avoid a direct confrontation with the Spirit Hall, but their subordinate forces suffered the consequences.

The first to be targeted were the four single-attribute clans. They had no way to avoid it and were directly purged by the Spirit Hall, suffering heavy losses.

Of the four single-attribute clans, the most tragic was the Po clan, which lost most of its members. The clan leader, Yang Wudi, lost his own son, and his younger brother, Yang Wushuang, betrayed them and joined the Spirit Hall. The Po clan was forced to relocate to a place in the Star Luo Empire where the Spirit Hall had less control.

"The Broken Clan concocts medicines, but they also concoct poisons."

"Since Senior Dugu doesn't have any ideas for the time being, why not try contacting the Po Clan? With Senior Dugu's strength, the weakened Po Clan wouldn't dare to say any 'no'!"

"Ha, you elevate this Broken Clan to such a high position, do you really think they can compare to me?"

"That's hard to say~" Yun Yibai's words suddenly became mysterious.

Dugu Bo noticed the slyness in Yun Yibai's eyes, like a fox's, and sensed a hidden meaning in his words. Almost instantly, Dugu Bo remembered Yun Yibai's identity, or rather, his background.

"Could it be that he, born into the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan, knows some secrets that I don't know about?" Dugu Bo wondered to himself.
