Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 85 Implicated (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

Fang Ling was also puzzled by her questioning:

"Yeah, I think it's strange too."

"Logically speaking, Sister Yan Yan, you are the granddaughter of His Majesty Bi Lin, the number one poison-attribute soul master in the world, so you shouldn't be poisoned."

"How..."

Dugu Yan stared at Fang Ling silently, her eyes cold, without interrupting him.

Fang Ling touched his hair and said with a wry smile, "At first, I thought I was seeing things."

"Sister Yan Yan, you know my intuition, but what you don't know is that it's not just combat intuition."

"Although it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes, after watching it for so long, I'm finally more willing to believe in this thing that has saved my life more than once."

"Intuition..." Dugu Yan clenched her fists tightly, making a cracking sound between her knuckles, her fingertips even digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain at all.

A sense of indescribable fear welled up in his heart.

If Fang Ling were to say that, she would definitely consider it just a joke.

This is a flimsy excuse made up on the spot when one wants to escape.

It was ethereal and intangible, yet everyone had witnessed it firsthand. The "intuition" that she could easily break through the Jade Heavenly Dragon's scales filled her with immense horror, and her body even trembled slightly.

Ye Lingling was also shocked, as if she had heard a shocking secret.

I involuntarily held my breath, afraid of disturbing something.

She noticed Dugu Yan's condition, pressed herself close to her body, and tried to bring her some comfort and warmth with her own body heat.

"Lingling, thank you."

Dugu Yan patted Ye Lingling's hand and forced a smile.

Fang Ling's words were like a bolt from the blue, piercing through a layer of thin paper and waking her up almost instantly.

She has figured out a lot.

This includes her grandfather's unusual physical condition compared to other titled Douluo, the reason why her parents died mysteriously when she was young, and the so-called "health-preserving pills".

At the time, it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary, but little did I expect...

Dugu Yan silently took out a jade bottle from her soul tool and poured out a brownish pill.

Pick it up with your slender index finger and thumb, and examine it carefully in front of your eyes.

She introduced the two of them:

"This is a health-preserving pill specially prepared for me by my grandfather. He said it can strengthen the body's foundation, nourish the vital energy, and regulate qi and blood."

"They specifically instructed me that the ingredients are extremely precious, a family secret, and absolutely cannot be given to anyone else."

With a slight sigh, she handed it to Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, your Nine Heart Begonia family has a long-standing tradition of medicine. You've been studying medical books since you were little. Can you smell what's inside?"

Ye Lingling tried, then shook her head slightly: "Sorry, I can't tell."

"It's alright, after all, it was Grandpa who did the voice acting." Dugu Yan's smile was very unnatural, as if she suddenly didn't know how to smile.

"Today's matter is of great importance. I've dragged Lingling and Fang Ling into this, so please don't reveal it to anyone."

As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, her expression changed, and she immediately changed her words.

"No, please come with me home immediately."

Upon hearing that she was going to meet the eccentric and ruthless Poison Douluo, Ye Lingling was immediately at a loss, her beautiful face filled with fear.

She subconsciously looked at Fang Ling.

Fang Ling nodded solemnly: "Okay."

"Fang Ling~" Ye Lingling pulled him with a pained expression, almost on the verge of tears.

"Knowing this secret, we have no right to refuse." Fang Ling squeezed her soft little hand and stated a cold truth, "Even the Nine-Heart Begonia won't do."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged Lingling into this." Dugu Yan felt that today's joke had gone too far.

Originally, I wanted to help Lingling discover Fang Ling's true character, but I never expected that the reason would be related to her.

She could only say, "Grandpa may seem fierce and bloodthirsty, and has an eccentric personality, but he is actually a reasonable person and never kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"Knowing too much makes one less innocent. I only know that the dead can keep secrets," Fang Ling said quietly.

Dugu Yan couldn't refute, her eyes hardening: "Then I will risk my life to ensure your safety." "Let's go."

Fang Ling held Ye Lingling's hand and swiped her palm.

While relieving a slight itch, she also reassured her, "Sister Lingling, don't worry, watch me do it."

Under Fang Ling's encouraging gaze, Ye Lingling finally regained some strength and said in a slightly tearful voice, "Okay."

The three of them quickly left the academy and ran towards Tiandou City.

They didn't ride in any carriage; the Soul Masters were incredibly fast, and the twenty-kilometer distance wouldn't take long.

……

Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.

Upon seeing the visitor, the servants at the gate immediately and respectfully opened the heavy gate.

"Miss."

"Um."

Dugu Yan nodded slightly.

He used to have the leisure to greet them, but now he was in a state of utter confusion and could only hurry along, leading the two directly into the mansion.

They paused briefly on the scenic covered walkway, and Dugu Yan reminded them:

"I know you're scared, but you're about to see Grandpa, so remember... remember to be polite."

She couldn't say what precautions to take, so she could only remind them both to be mindful of etiquette.

If all else fails, I'll risk my life to save you!

Filled with deep remorse, Dugu Yan led Fang Ling and Ye Lingling to find Dugu Bo in a pavilion.

Before them stood a tall, thin old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with a slightly sinister air about him.

His beard and hair were a deep, dark green, and his eyes were like deep green gems, exuding indifference and death, radiating a chilling green light.

His cheeks were sunken, and his green hair was messy, as if it hadn't been styled in a long time.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he remained expressionless, or rather, his facial expression was completely stiff.

Even though the person was right in front of me on the recliner, I felt unreal, as if I were a phantom.

"Fang Ling of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy greets His Majesty Bi Lin."

"Ye Lingling of the Ye family of the Nine-Heart Begonia greets Your Majesty Bilin."

Fang Ling and Ye Lingling were startled and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Fang Ling and the Ye family's little girl? Yan Yan brought her classmates over to play this afternoon."

Dugu Bo closed the yellowed book in his hand, still somewhat surprised as he spoke.

With such a terrible reputation, who would dare to come to the Dugu residence?

Overjoyed that her granddaughter had found a friend, she laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright, get up quickly."

However, Dugu Yan did not answer the question, but just stared at him blankly.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?" Dugu Bo sensed something was amiss.

A tear rolled down Dugu Yan's cheek, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Grandpa, what exactly is this 'Nourishing Pill'?"

Dugu Bo immediately dismissed everyone, his expression suddenly changed, and he almost crushed the ancient book in his hand.

"Yanyan, who did you give it to? Who told you to?"

His gaze instantly locked onto Fang Ling and Ye Lingling.

Fang Ling stepped in front of Ye Lingling and said, "Senior, please forgive me. This has nothing to do with Sister Lingling. Sister Yanyan didn't give us any pills either. I figured it out first."

"He's still a chivalrous little guy."

Dugu Bo complied with his wishes, letting out a cold snort. An extremely powerful soul force, as heavy as a mountain, pressed down on Fang Ling's shoulder.

Almost instantly, it made him catch his breath.

I need to go to the hospital today to schedule my grandfather's surgery. I'll try my best to finish the third update, but if that's not possible, I'll have to postpone it and make up for it later.
