Chapter 33: Spirit Poison
This is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, the most prosperous place in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo has a residence of considerable size in Heaven Dou City.
However, because he needs to suppress the severe poison, he lives at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well all year round and rarely returns to his residence in Heaven Dou City.
Today, because of Lu Chen, part of the severe poison in his body has been neutralized.
He no longer needs to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every moment.
Therefore, Dugu Bo led Lu Chen back to this residence in Heaven Dou City.
Of course, there is another reason: Dugu Bo does not want the secret of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to be exposed, and he wants to let Lu Chen feel how much he values him.
That is why he brought him back to his own home.
Dugu Residence!
After returning home, Dugu Bo asked his servants to go to the market and quickly buy some side dishes for drinking.
As for himself, he went to the cellar to bring out a jar of liquor he had brewed himself. This was good stuff; the snakes, insects, and medicinal herbs soaked in the liquor were all things he had caught and gathered himself.
Drinking a cup can nourish the tendons and bones and strengthen the body; it is a top-tier medicinal liquor.
Usually, Dugu Bo couldn’t bear to take it out!
At this moment, in order to entertain Lu Chen, Dugu Bo brought out his hidden stash.
He poured a cup for Lu Chen and then poured one for himself.
Raising his wine cup, Dugu Bo said enthusiastically:
"Brother Lan Chen, hurry and taste this. This is liquor I brewed myself. Last time Prince Xue Xing wanted some, I couldn’t bear to give it to him."
"Today, to celebrate our brotherhood, we will finish this entire jar."
Under Dugu Bo’s enthusiastic invitation, Lu Chen also raised his wine cup.
Logically speaking, he is only ten years old, and he shouldn’t be drinking at this age.
But given his physical fitness, drinking a little alcohol is not a problem.
Lu Chen still spoke in that low voice:
"Many thanks for your hospitality, Brother Dugu. Then this younger brother will not stand on ceremony."
After speaking, Lu Chen raised the wine cup to his lips, tilted his head back, and poured the liquor into his mouth.
The crisp, clear liquor slid down his throat and into his stomach.
It made one feel warm inside the belly.
There were also wisps of weak energy gradually spreading from his abdomen, reaching his internal organs and all his limbs and bones.
Nourishing his entire body’s tendons and bones!
This medicinal liquor is really good!
Lu Chen’s eyes lit up, and he praised loudly:
"Brother Dugu’s liquor is truly good liquor!"
Dugu Bo also showed a look of pride; he naturally knew the liquor he brewed himself was good.
Then Dugu Bo poured another full cup for Lu Chen:
"Haha, as long as Brother Lan Chen likes it, today we won’t stop until we’re drunk."
The two of them, one cup after another, soon drank half a jar of the liquor.
The atmosphere gradually became lively!
Seeing that the timing was about right, Dugu Bo looked at Lu Chen’s disguised face and asked tentatively:
"Brother, with the relationship between us brothers, you might as well drop your disguise. Being cautious outside is one thing, but there is nothing to be reserved about here with your big brother."
Although Lu Chen had drunk quite a bit, his physical fitness was strong and his metabolic ability was good, so he was not drunk at all.
At this moment, hearing the inquiry, he feigned grief and said:
"Brother, you don’t know. I have a potential enemy. Back then, he not only bullied me but also bullied my parents, making me hate him to the bone."
"Unfortunately, his strength is formidable, and I am no match for him. Over these years, I have changed my appearance to avoid this person."
"Please forgive me, Brother. Before I have the strength to confront that enemy, I dare not show my true face."
This was half-truth, half-false.
Lu Chen indeed has an enemy, namely the father-son pair Tang Hao and Tang San. This pair of father and son took away his spot as a Work-Study Student and bullied his parents, making him hate them to the core.
But the reason he hid his true face was actually because he was too young; a Spirit Emperor under ten years old was just too shocking.
This could not be easily exposed, otherwise he would have no peace forever.
Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and said somewhat protectively:
"Brother Lan Chen’s enemy is my enemy. I wonder what kind of strength that enemy of yours has?"
"As a Titled Douluo, I have few rivals on this continent. With my strength, it should be enough to deal with that enemy of yours!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he thought of Tang Hao. He shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I’m afraid that won’t do. That person is extremely powerful, not comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo. Brother Dugu might not be able to beat him."
Lu Chen spoke very tactfully.
Compared to Tang Hao, Dugu Bo was simply incomparable.
Dugu Bo was shocked to hear this. As a dignified Titled Douluo, there was an enemy he couldn’t even deal with.
That could only be an even more powerful Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment. This Lan Chen could actually provoke a Titled Douluo. One must know that on the continent, Titled Douluo are few and far between, and every one of them is an existence that countless people look up to.
This Lan Chen’s background is even more mysterious than he imagined.
Dugu Bo looked deeply at Lu Chen. He stopped mentioning the previous matter and no longer insisted on seeing Lu Chen’s true face.
He continued to exchange cups with Lu Chen.
When the liquor in the jar gradually bottomed out.
Dugu Bo, full of the smell of alcohol, spoke as if complaining:
"Brother, to tell you the truth, the poison in my body comes from my Spirit. We Spirit Masters of the Jade Phosphor Snake lineage, although we possess terrifying poisonous toxins, this poison also harms others and ourselves."
"The severe poison I suffer from can still be suppressed with spirit power, but my poor granddaughter Yan Yan is now also tortured by the poison. She does not have as deep a spirit power as I do."
"Every time she is tortured by the severe poison, it is agonizing. Today, Brother, your ability made me feel extremely pleasantly surprised."
"My spirit power is profound, so I can still suppress the severe poison, and I am not in a rush to completely neutralize it. But my granddaughter cannot wait any longer."
"I would like to ask you, Brother, to take action and first help my granddaughter neutralize the severe poison."
Hearing Dugu Bo say this, Lu Chen laughed heartily and agreed:
"Brother, you are being too polite. Since I address you as brother, then your granddaughter is my granddaughter."
"If my own granddaughter is suffering from severe poison, I will definitely do my utmost to treat her."
"Once I recover my spirit power, I will accompany you, Brother, to go and treat our granddaughter."
Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Lu Chen was so straightforward, not even mentioning any conditions, which moved him quite a bit. Recognizing this brother was well worth it.
Dugu Bo is both righteous and evil on the continent, acting only according to his own heart.
He repays kindness, and he also definitely repays grudges!
Lu Chen’s promptness gave him the intention to truly befriend him.
Dugu Bo raised his glass again and said with a smile:
"Brother, thank you for being willing to take action to treat her. Stay at my place for the night, and tomorrow we will go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"My granddaughter is currently studying at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. As long as you, Brother, can cure the poison on her, I will press my granddaughter’s head down and make her acknowledge you as her grandfather. From now on, we will be one family."
"If you, Brother, need anything, just say the word. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will definitely get it done."
Lu Chen’s smile became even richer. This was the effect he wanted. With Dugu Bo’s full effort, hunting an 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King would absolutely not be a problem.
He said with a smile:
"Brother, rest assured, I will definitely do my best."
That night, Lu Chen stayed at Dugu Bo’s place.
And the next day, Lu Chen accompanied Dugu Bo to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
