Chapter 36: The Deal with Dugu Bo

Chapter 36: The Deal with Dugu Bo

"Exactly!" Xiao Yu nodded calmly.

Hearing Xiao Yu's admission, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with cold light, and his tone became even more sinister: "Kid, how did you know about this?"

"Who's there?" Ye Renxin, despite being a Contra-level expert, wasn't very strong in combat, but his spiritual perception was quite good. He sensed Dugu Bo's presence less than a minute after he entered. Accompanied by a Soul Sage-level elder, he hurried over.

As for Ye Wentai, sensing the intruder's high soul power fluctuations, he didn't notify him or the other clan members to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Hiss—it's His Excellency, the Poison Douluo." Ye Renxin only recognized the visitor after getting closer. He couldn't help but gasp and quickly put on a smile, asking, "Your Excellency, the Poison Douluo, what brings you to the Nine Heart Begonia Clan?"

Ye Renxin was genuinely afraid of Dugu Bo, even more than other titled Douluo. The reason was simple: Dugu Bo's clearing ability was terrifying. If other titled Douluo attacked, some might escape. But if Dugu Bo made a move, releasing his lethal poison, none of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan would survive until tomorrow.

"Patriarch Ye, rest assured, I'm not here for you or to trouble your clan today. My target is only this kid!" Dugu Bo pointed at Xiao Yu with his usual stiff expression. "Kid, Patriarch Ye can't protect you in front of me. Answer my question honestly!"

Xiao Yu's expression didn't change, showing no fear of Dugu Bo: "Mr. Dugu, don't you think solving the problem is more important than your questions?"

"You can solve it..." Dugu Bo glanced at Ye Renxin before changing his words, "You can solve the problem that's been troubling me?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yu smiled calmly. "But Mr. Dugu, everything comes at a price. What reward can you offer me?"

How dare you speak to a titled Douluo like that! Ye Renxin almost fainted upon hearing this. In his decades of life, it was the first time he saw someone asking a titled Douluo for something.

"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo burst into laughter, which lasted a long time before he stopped. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Xiao Yu: "Kid, you have a lot of guts. Who gave you the courage to extort a titled Douluo? Believe me, I have a thousand ways to make you talk. I've been immersed in the poison arts for decades and have countless poisons that will make you wish for death."

"Mr. Dugu, it seems you don't want to talk nicely. In that case, I'll need to calm you down!" Xiao Yu's voice remained calm. "Aiolia, Milo, calm him down!"

"Yes!"

"As you command, Young Master!"

Two sharp voices rang out in succession. Two figures appeared beside Xiao Yu, both clad in golden armor. One had bronze skin and short brown hair, exuding an aura like a golden lion ready to pounce. The other's skin was fairer, with blue hair flowing freely, eyes piercing as if seeing through everything.

Even more shocking were the nine soul rings rising from the two of them: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Dugu Bo's face changed dramatically, his pupils contracted violently, and he looked at those two red soul rings in disbelief.

Does he, a titled Douluo, not know what a red soul ring represents?

It is the most supreme existence among all soul rings, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring that every soul master dreams of!

Ye Renxin, standing beside them, was also stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, looking at Xiao Yu with eyes full of delight.

No wonder he was curious at the time. Xiao Yu and his companions, just teenagers, traveled thousands of miles to Tiandou City without any guards from their elders. It wasn't that there were no guards; it was that their cultivation was so high that he couldn't sense them at all.

At this moment, Ye Renxin no longer hesitated.

A thirteen-year-old Soul Ancestor, with a soul tool inheritance that could address the Nine Heart Begonia Clan's lack of attack power, accompanied by two titled Douluo as guards, both possessing ninth rings of a hundred-thousand-year level—such a background was far beyond their reach.

As for the Tiandou royal family, they could go as far away as possible!

The soul power of the two level 95 titled Douluo was released, and the immense pressure instantly immobilized Dugu Bo.

"Mr. Dugu, can we talk properly now?" Xiao Yu asked calmly, looking at the pale-faced Dugu Bo.

"Who are you people?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled. "I, Dugu Bo, believe I have never wronged you. Are you from the Spirit Hall? What do you want?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Dugu, we are not from the Spirit Hall," Xiao Yu shook his head. "As for my purpose, I believe I made it clear from the start: I want to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?" Dugu Bo immediately asked. Having worked hard to reach the titled Douluo realm, he was not willing to die just like that. Moreover, he had a granddaughter to protect. Over the years, his erratic behavior had offended many people. Without his protection, his granddaughter, only a Soul Elder, would be defenseless and face unimaginable consequences.

"I can solve your troubles, Mr. Dugu, as well as those of your granddaughter. In return, I have two conditions."

Xiao Yu raised one finger: "First, I want the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!" Dugu Bo was confused. "What is that?"

Xiao Yu explained, "It's where you live. There's a spring there, half as hot as magma, and half as cold as the extreme north ice."

So that's the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Dugu Bo suddenly understood. This kid was targeting his territory!

That spring, discovered by him over ten years ago, emitted a cold and hot breath that could suppress the toxins in his body, so he settled there. The area around the spring was filled with various herbs he didn't recognize. Although they seemed precious, he didn't dare to consume them recklessly.

"You went to all this trouble using Yan Yan to lure me here, all for that spring. It must be very important to you!" Dugu Bo was somewhat annoyed. This kid had been calculating against him from the start.

"I'm not just after the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!" Xiao Yu smiled slightly, raising a second finger. "My second condition is that I hope Mr. Dugu will join my sect!"
