Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 106 Dugu Yan: "I want to slaughter the entire Shrek Academy" A beautiful snake in sheep's clothing

Dinner tonight was simple: rice porridge with a pickled vegetable.

Shu Yan couldn't say how many years it had been since he had such a simple dinner. Even during his time in the far north, those were at least quite delicious, but now…

Dugu Yan seemed to sense something was amiss. She pursed her red lips and then said softly:

"I'm sorry, I was planning to go to Tiandou City to buy supplies this afternoon, but... all I have left to eat at home is this."

Shu Yan didn't think much of it. Dugu Yan had added a lot of herbs that were good for the body to the rice porridge she cooked. The rice porridge had a faint herbal aroma. After eating so much meat and fish, it was quite nice to eat something light occasionally.

"Did you always get through this?"

Shu Yan asked casually.

"I've been living alone since I was eight years old, and it's been ten years now, but I'm doing alright."

Dugu Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then answered truthfully.

"Eighteen years old... Forty-eight levels of soul power, that's not bad considering the toxins he's been suffering from."

Shu Yan said softly.

The three women drank their porridge in silence for a long time without saying a word. It has to be said that Dugu Yan's cooking skills were quite good; at least the porridge she made had a unique flavor that satisfied the four women, who were usually very picky about food.

Dugu Yan silently put down the bowl in her hand and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"With the inheritance of ten thousand years, the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent in the family has become more and more serious. When my martial soul awakened, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent martial soul was lucky enough to revert to its ancestral form and become the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor. Otherwise, by my generation, it would be very difficult for any pure Azure Phosphorus Serpent Soul Master to live past the age of twenty-five."

Shu Yan swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, and understood everything that Dugu Yan had said.

"You don't need to worry about that. We just came out of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and gained quite a lot. Solving your problem won't be difficult. But I'd like to know what you most want to do after you gain power..."

Shu Yan stared intently at Dugu Yan, awaiting her answer.

Dugu Yan lowered her eyes, her delicate face full of gentleness. Although it was unclear whether it was her true feeling or a deliberate act, her answer still surprised the four people present.

"If possible..."

"I want to slaughter all the descendants of the Tang Clan and the entire Shrek Academy..."

……

After a brief silence, Shu Yan chuckled softly, feigning surprise as he said:

"Slaughter the Tang Clan and Shrek City? Just like your ancestor Dugu Bo?"

"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution? Or rather, Shrek City has a population of millions, many of whom are innocent. Aren't you afraid of harming the innocent?"

Dugu Yan shook her head decisively without the slightest hesitation.

"I don't care. The strong may not have the right to control the lives of the weak, but if I were the strong one, I wouldn't care about the concept of right. When I am the dominant party and the victor, it's just a matter of whether I want to or not."

"I must say, those evil spirit masters made the right choice in targeting you."

Shu Yan sighed slightly, realizing that he had figured it out.

Dugu Yan definitely has some psychological issues. Shu Yan can tell that she's not lying. On the contrary, the expectation and longing in her eyes when she talks about these things are genuine.

It's hard to imagine that, judging from her appearance, Dugu Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who could say such things, but in reality, she's a complete madwoman, a madwoman in the guise of a docile sheep...

……

The conversation that followed was much more casual. Dugu Yan was willing to answer Shu Yan's questions truthfully. After a series of inquiries, the four of them learned a great deal about Dugu Yan's background and her experiences over the years. Xue Di observed Dugu Yan's mental fluctuations at all times, proving that she was not lying.

After swearing an oath with her martial spirit and soul, she did indeed become excessively obedient.

Shu Yan was too lazy to say anything more. He gave a portion of the "Swan's Kiss" produced by the 100,000-year-old Snow Swan Kiss to the Ice Emperor. This was to completely activate the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom accumulated in Dugu Yan's body. He then used the unique inner core method of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Martial Soul to help Dugu Yan force all the toxins in her body into the inner core that was not yet fully formed, turning it into a poison pill.

Once this poison pill is formed, even if Dugu Yan experiences snake venom infestation again in the future, the existence of the poison pill will allow her to absorb and control it in the shortest possible time, thus minimizing the damage to her body caused by the toxin.

Of course, the role played by the Ice Emperor in this process was to guide and suppress. The method of poison pills had been studied in the Dugu family's lineage, but no one had ever succeeded in it.

To condense a poison pill, relying solely on one's own strength is clearly insufficient. Not to mention that clearing and guiding the poison requires extremely high levels of soul power and mental strength, someone also needs to control the situation. The Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom is one of the most potent poisons in the world, and its complete eruption is terrifying. Even most Title Douluos dare not touch it too much, otherwise the all-pervasive and extremely potent poison would definitely teach them the most realistic and tragic lesson.

These toxins were obviously nothing to the Ice Emperor. Unless it was an extremely potent poison, Shu Yan couldn't think of any other toxin that could break through the defenses of the Extreme Ice.

Hey! Don't underestimate the Hyotei Emperor!

Of course, Hyotei himself was extremely dissatisfied with the "overtime" issue, but he couldn't withstand the "tyranny" of Shuyan and Xuedi, and finally had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Dugu Yan seemed surprised that the action Shu Yan had mentioned would come so quickly, but just as she had told Shu Yan before:

"A venomous snake without its fangs is nothing more than a pet to humans..."

As a "pet," she naturally didn't have much to say. Since the other party was willing to resolve her problem so early, it meant that the other party had absolute confidence and wasn't worried about her being "ungrateful" or anything like that, although she herself didn't dare to have such thoughts.

……

Night falls.

Ice Emperor took Dugu Yan to a deeper part of Sunset Forest to condense the poison pill, while Snow Emperor was comprehending and absorbing the energy she had obtained from the Water Dragon King's corpse two days prior.

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu lay on the roof of the small house, gazing up at the starry sky and chatting softly.

"Ayan, are you sure there won't be any unexpected problems if we keep Dugu Yan by our side?"

Xu Jiujiu was still somewhat uneasy. After all, Dugu Yan seemed obedient and lovable, but her actual personality was quite different.

Shu Yan let Xu Jiu lean against his chest for a long time, and only whispered:

"A tamed venomous snake is still deadly to outsiders, but to its owner, it is nothing more than a plaything to be played with at will."

"Did its owner not know it was highly poisonous? No, it's just that its owner wasn't afraid of its poison at all."

After a long silence, she sighed softly. Dugu Yan's obedient face appeared in her mind. It has to be said that this viper was indeed a beauty with a stark contrast to her appearance. Women like her often have a fatal attraction for men...
