Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 128: Return to Tiandou
Although it was the first time for Chen Ming to travel alone on the continent, it only took him a dozen days to return to Dugu Bo's Mansion in Tiandou City.

After all, a level 44 soul master can be considered a strong person on the continent. Chen Ming is not out to cause trouble. Although the law and order in Douluo Continent is not good, it is not so bad that evil soul masters will run all over the continent ten thousand years later.

During the journey back to Tiandou City, Chen Ming encountered two groups of bandits on the road, among which there was a level 7 soul warrior. The two groups of bandits had only about to people. Their main weapons were common farm tools such as dung forks and hatchets.

This was done twice, Chen Ming used two soul skills. If they were used together, Chen Ming could dissolve them all with one soul skill.

Although Chen Ming had only been to Dugu Bo's house once, and was then taken by Dugu Bo into the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, when he arrived at the gate of Tiandou City, the guards at the gate immediately recognized Chen Ming, respectfully dispersed the people queuing in front of him, and let Chen Ming in.

Although Chen Ming originally wanted to queue up honestly and didn't think about using any privileges when entering the city, since the guards dispersed the crowd, Chen Ming didn't have to queue up. After a brief greeting, he entered Tiandou City.

As soon as he entered the city gate, several soldiers came to Chen Ming with a carriage, vying to be the driver for Chen Ming. Their expressions and words were full of flattery.

Although these soldiers were actually the second sons or relatives of various nobles and usually acted arrogantly in front of civilians, when facing Chen Ming, these usually proud soldiers behaved more humble than each other.

Even their parents may not have seen that look many times.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming shook his head and refused the service of these soldiers. Then he walked alone on the street of Tiandou City, strolling back to Dugu Bo's mansion.

In front of the gate of Dugu Bo's mansion, there were still several tall guards guarding the gate as usual. When Chen Ming just arrived at the gate, these guards immediately perked up, some opened the main door of the mansion, and some ran into the yard to notify.

Obviously, although Chen Ming has not been in Tiandou City for a long time, there are probably many legends about Chen Ming in Tiandou City today.

Although Chen Ming may not be seen once a year, the doormen in various places still remember the face of this "lucky man" Chen Ming to avoid looking down on him.

Chen Ming walked in, and soon, Dugu Bo's figure appeared in front of Chen Ming.

Dugu Bo looked up and down at Chen Ming in front of him, reached out and touched Chen Ming's shoulder, used his soul power to feel his breath, and then he smiled.

"Xiao Ming, you're finally back. I wonder how your journey was. Let's go back to the house and chat."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, and the servants around him disappeared from their sight. Dugu Bo and Chen Ming returned to Dugu Bo's practice room. Looking at the practice room that had been repaired and had no problems, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

The last time I came here, Dugu Bo grabbed me by the shoulders and dragged me here.

That year, I stood like a minion.

And now, he walked into this room with Dugu Bo, talking and laughing. In the eyes of the servants, he seemed to be the second master of Dugu Mansion.

Eh.
While Chen Ming was sighing in his heart, Dugu Bo turned on the mechanism and the tunnel appeared in front of them again.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ming couldn't help but ask with some confusion:
"Grandpa, isn't this underground secret room meant to be hidden? Last time there was such a big incident, didn't outsiders find out?" "Even if it was repaired, it should have been done by outsiders, right? Is there any secret in this underground secret room?"

"Ahem, it's a habit, you'll get used to it."

What did Dugu Bo say? He said he was not used to not having a private hidden space. After losing this underground secret room, sometimes he had no place to cry secretly even if he wanted to?
It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone about it, so Dugu Bo chose to explain it as a habit.

The two men walked down the secret room, Dugu Bo closed the mechanism, and habitually took out the night pearl from the Ruyi Treasure Bag.

Looking at this action, Chen Ming smiled, Dugu Bo also smiled, and the two looked at each other, and both couldn't help but sigh at the magic of fate.

Most of the things in the secret room were repaired by Dugu Bo, and only a few specimens made of soul beast materials had not yet found a suitable replacement. Everything looked as if nothing had happened.

Inside the secret room, Dugu Bo and Chen Ming sat on chairs, and Chen Ming slowly talked about his experience of obtaining the fourth soul ring.

After hearing that Chen Ming encountered a non-toxic ice-attributed green phosphorus scorpion and then met the Zhu Qing Ice Toad, Dugu Boye also felt a little itchy in his heart.

As for the revelation of the external soul bone, he didn't care much. After all, basically every time it was related to Chen Ming, it was easy for soul bones to appear. He was now more or less mentally prepared.

That is to say, when Chen Ming said that he could not absorb it now, Dugu Bo was a little surprised.

Chen Ming took out the jars containing the materials of the Ice Jade Scorpion and the jars containing the materials of Zhu Qing Ice Toad from the storage soul guide one by one. Dugu Bo rubbed his hands and immediately took them in his hands to study them one by one.

Dugu Bo was indeed extremely curious about these five poisonous creatures that were born in the environment of the Far North.

Finally, Chen Ming took out the left metacarpal bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion and showed it to Dugu Bo. However, Dugu Bo just glanced at it for a few times and then stopped caring about it. Instead, he continued to pay attention to the materials on the soul beast.

Nowadays, Dugu Bo has admitted his weakness and got used to the peculiarities of his grandson-in-law. In his opinion, there is almost nothing his grandson-in-law cannot do now.

When he heard that Chen Ming wanted to return to the treasure land to absorb the two magical herbs called Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Grass, Dugu Bo just nodded and said that he would take Chen Ming back in a while.

Dugu Bo's attitude surprised Chen Ming. He always felt that Dugu Bo was a bit of a loser.

Is it actually Dugu Bo who is giving up?

No, he just gave up struggling helplessly because his worldview had been refreshed too many times.

He didn't dare to interfere too much in Chen Ming's affairs, for fear that he, a mediocre man, would accidentally lead his precious grandson-in-law astray. The talent that could have made him a god was wasted by him and he became a mere peerless Douluo.
