Chapter 262: Title: King Luo Tian! Qian Renxue Driven Mad by Men!_1

Under the spotlight of the audience, Luo Yu felt no discomfort.

He sipped his tea with ease and composure.

While others couldn't identify the poison in the Snow Night Emperor, to him, it was a breeze.

It wasn't something to be proud of.

But the others didn't think so, especially the Snow Night Emperor, who by now was thoroughly astonished.

At first, he thought this young man was putting on airs, feigning profound knowledge."

"He seemed mysterious, but in reality, what great medical skills could such a young kid have?

Now, however, Luo Yu's abilities had completely subdued him.

Offhandedly pointing out the exact pathology, that required exceptionally shrewd eyes and insight.

No one knew his condition better than himself.

Everything Luo Yu said matched with his symptoms.

If it weren't for the mixed poison, the talents of Tiandou City wouldn't have been at their wit's end.

The Snow Night Emperor's gaze heated up as he looked at Luo Yu.

He had long been tormented by the chronic lethal poison and constantly faced the threat of death. Now that he saw a glimmer of hope for treatment, he wished he could worship Luo Yu as if he were a godfather.

He quickly moved in front of Luo Yu, breathing rapidly, "I wonder how certain young friend Luo Yu is about curing my poison, a generous reward is guaranteed upon success."

Luo Yu glanced at him, "One-hundred percent certain, but what's that to you?"

"Don't forget the attitude you had just now."

"And—do I look like I'm in need of your generous reward?"

Hearing Luo Yu's full confidence, the Snow Night Emperor's eyes almost lit up like bulbs.

If the poison remained uncured, his days were numbered.

Even relying on rare treasures to maintain his life wouldn't last long.

Now, in his eyes, Luo Yu was a godfather-level savior, of extreme importance.

It didn't matter if he was rebuked, he felt he could endure even being cursed at.

The Snow Night Emperor chuckled, "Just now it was I—"

"Hmm?" Luo Yu's eyes narrowed.

The Snow Night Emperor quickly corrected himself, "I was wrong just now, I didn't recognize the divine doctor. Please forgive me."

Luo Yu set down his empty teacup on the table without a word.

The Snow Night Emperor was momentarily stunned, then quickly took action.

He picked up the teapot and filled Luo Yu's cup.

Luo Yu took a sip of tea and patted his own shoulder behind him.

The Snow Night Emperor looked hesitant.

But recalling the agonizing nights under the poison's torment, he clenched his teeth and quickly ran to Luo Yu's back, gently massaging his shoulders.

This scene stunned Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke, and others around them were left speechless.

Poison Douluo cursed in shock internally.

Damn, that's just brilliant!

What is presence?

This is called presence!

The Emperor himself pouring tea and massaging shoulders— who else could command such treatment?

Even the Sect Master of Hao Tian Clan wouldn't be able to pull that off.

If this scene were to be spread, the whole Tiandou Empire would be shaken to its core.

Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively, "Enough, go stand over there. Your hands are too heavy-handed, it's clear you've never served anyone."

The Snow Night Emperor looked at Luo Yu's disdainful expression, full of silent contempt and complained inwardly.

His mind was in turmoil; he'd never suffered such humiliation.

Endure, I must endure.

Survival trumps everything; the Tiandou Empire still needs me to rule!

The Snow Night Emperor said ingratiatingly, "Young friend Luo Yu, have you calmed down now?"

Luo Yu stood up, facing the Snow Night Emperor with a tall stature.

"Cut the nonsense, I'll cure you of your poison."

"If you dare to trouble me after you're healed, I'll make you more desperate than being poisoned."

Ha, how could that be possible.

I am the Snow Night Emperor. Once freed from this deadly poison, who could make me despair.

The Snow Night Emperor originally scoffed at Luo Yu's threat and almost laughed out loud.

But then, seeing Luo Yu's deep and indifferent eyes and the calm yet oddly confident and chilling tone, the Snow Night Emperor inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

He said earnestly:

"Rest assured, as long as you can cure me, not only will I grant you the previously mentioned conditions, I will henceforth honor you as a distinguished guest of the Tiandou Empire."

Luo Yu nodded slightly and headed upstairs.

The Snow Night Emperor blocked his path, "Where are you going?"

Luo Yu glared.

"I'm going upstairs to concoct the antidote for you."

"If you don't want to die, get out of my way."

The Snow Night Emperor took a step back, "Such a complex mixed poison, it definitely can't be prepared in one day, should I come to visit again tomorrow?"

Luo Yu shook his head and extended a finger.

"A month?" The Snow Night Emperor was first surprised, then after thinking, it seemed acceptable to him.

Luo Yu shook his head again.

"It can't be a year, can it?" The Snow Night Emperor said with a distressed face, fearing he couldn't hold out that long.

"A stick of incense's time, wait for me downstairs."

Having said this, Luo Yu went straight upstairs.

The Snow Night Emperor's mouth hung open as he awkwardly turned his neck to look at Poison Douluo.

"I didn't mishear just now, did I? He said he'd handle this deadly poison that has stumped all the ministers in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn?"

"You didn't mishear," Poison Douluo affirmed.

The Snow Night Emperor shook his head repeatedly, "How... How is that possible?"

"A mixed poison composed of hundreds of toxins, and he's going to solve it in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn?"

Poison Douluo spoke soothingly: "Your Majesty, you'll get used to it, I've already gotten used to it."

"This fellow never plays by the rules, please don't try to predict him using normal reasoning."

"Let me warn you, don't say later that I wasn't kind enough to remind you."

"If I were you, I would cling to his coattails even if it meant using all the nation's resources."

The Snow Night Emperor said speechlessly, "You're telling me, as the emperor, to curry favor with a young man using the power of my whole nation?"

"Yes," Poison Douluo nodded.

"Have you gone mad, or have I?" The Snow Night Emperor shook his head unceasingly.

"There's no more to say, it's up to you to decide," Poison Douluo didn't continue to persuade.

The Snow Night Emperor looked at Poison Douluo's expression.

And also thinking about the many unusual aspects he saw in Luo Yu, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is this young man really that miraculous?

To be honest, regarding Luo Yu's claim that he could cure the poison in the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.

It's not that he didn't want to believe it, but rather he truly dared not believe it.

...

The time it took for a stick of incense to burn quickly passed, and footsteps could be heard.

Carrying a small bottle, Luo Yu walked down from upstairs.

The Snow Night Emperor's pupils instantly focused on the small bottle in Luo Yu's hand.

His clenched fist revealed inner tension.

"Here, the antidote for you," Luo Yu casually tossed the small bottle over.

The Snow Night Emperor carefully caught the bottle, "Did you really come up with the antidote so quickly?"

"Why all the questions, drink it and you'll know," Luo Yu retorted.

Looking at the strangely colorful liquid inside the bottle, the Snow Night Emperor grew curious.

He uncorked the bottle, and an indescribable fragrance hit his nose.

With slight hesitation, the Snow Night Emperor drank it all in one gulp.

Before long, the Snow Night Emperor's body temperature rose sharply, and his skin turned bright red.

A foul, black liquid started seeping out of his skin's pores.

He even spat out a mouthful of purplish-black, foul-smelling blood.

When the blood hit the floor, a hissing noise erupted.

The bricks on the ground were instantly corroded full of holes.

The detoxification process was over.

The Snow Night Emperor's hair was disheveled, his complexion weak, and he looked quite a mess.

Yet his sharp tiger eyes were lively and bright.

Luo Yu folded his arms, "How do you feel?"

The Snow Night Emperor walked up to Luo Yu, completely disregarding his imperial status.

He gave Luo Yu a deep bow.

"My young friend is like a divine physician incarnate, forgive my previous shortsightedness."

"For the grace of saving my life, I have nothing with which to repay."

The Snow Night Emperor took a deep breath, his heart torn in inner turmoil, and finally made a significant decision.

"Luo Yu, my young friend, the conditions I promised you before are now in effect. The Boundless Universe Shield is yours, and Xue Ke is yours."

"From today on, you are the prince of the Tiandou Empire."

"Once back in the palace, I will proclaim this to all under the heavens."

"You are the first non-imperial king in the history of the Tiandou Empire."

"Equal to me in standing, when officials see you, they shall regard you as they do me."

"Your title: King Luo Tian."

When the Snow Night Emperor finished speaking all of these words in a row, the entire room was shocked.

Gasps of astonishment followed one after another.

Such treatment, this was surely more than just gratitude for saving a life.
