Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 58 Yuhao Saves His Mother

There are divine beasts on the Douluo Continent.

Examples include Dai Yueheng's White Tiger Martial Soul, the Phoenix, and the Xuanwu evolved from the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield; all of these possess the bloodline of divine beasts.

Without a doubt, whether it's a martial soul or a soul beast, having the bloodline of a divine beast signifies immense power.

Bi'an is one of the mythical beasts. Wang Nan had heard stories about this mythical beast in his previous life and in the textbooks at Shrek Academy. It is said to be as powerful as a tiger and to be the son of a true dragon, born from the union of a dragon and a tiger.

Of course, the beast Dai Yueheng brought Wang Nan to see wasn't the real divine beast Bi'an. Real divine beasts, upon their birth, would be fiercely contested by powerful figures, far beyond the reach of someone of Wang Nan's strength. But even though it was merely a soul beast possessing divine beast blood, it was already incredibly precious.

"This is a mutated white tiger with 20,000 years of cultivation and the bloodline of the divine beast Bi'an. It is the gift I gave to my junior brother." Dai Yueheng pointed to the soul beast and said to Wang Nan, "I know that with your talent, junior brother, your cultivation is definitely not limited to this. I am giving this soul beast to you. If you need it in the future, you can come to the Duke's Mansion to obtain its soul ring at any time."

"This..." Wang Nan didn't know what to say for a moment. Compared with the soul beast with divine beast bloodline in front of him, the Duchess's gifts last night were almost negligible.

"Junior brother, there's no need to be so polite. Please accept this gift." Dai Yueheng's expression was somewhat complicated. "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I only hope that you can accept this gift, which will put my mind at ease."

"I won't put you in a difficult position, junior brother. This soul beast can continue to be kept here, and all its needs will be covered by the Duke's mansion. Of course, if you wish to take it home, junior brother, you can do so as well. I will arrange for a vehicle to deliver it to Star Luo City along with its food."

"Then let's keep it here for now." Wang Nan knew that as the saying goes, it's easy to lose a thousand pieces of gold, but hard to repay a favor. Dai Yueheng gave such an expensive gift because he was afraid that he might have to pay an even greater price in the future.

Once this soul beast is given away, even if Wang Nan wants to ask for any reward in the future, he won't be able to ask for too much. Wang Nan had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, and this soul beast was quite rare, so he agreed.

"Okay." Dai Yueheng smiled when he saw Wang Nan agree. "Then it's settled. Let's go. I'll take my junior brother to the front yard. I know you're eager to go home, but like last time, I'll arrange a car to take you back after breakfast."

Wang Nan and Dai Yueheng walked out of the tiger enclosure and soon heard a commotion.

Both of them were Soul Masters with excellent hearing, and they quickly identified where the sound was coming from.

"Senior brother, what's that over there?"

"Oh, that's my family's pharmacy over there," Dai Yueheng explained, seeing Wang Nan's curious expression. "We don't have any rare or expensive medicinal herbs. You know that we Soul Masters inevitably encounter bumps and bruises during our cultivation, so we always keep some common herbs on hand. Why don't I take my junior brother over there to take a look, and we can also see what happened."

Wang Nan nodded in agreement.

Before the two could get close, a servant's shouting voice came from afar.

"Get out, get out! Don't you even look in the mirror? There's no medicine for you here. Get out of here, or I'll get rough!"

Wang Nan did not hear any response, but the servant continued to spew out a lot of vulgarities, such as "bastard" and "father dead".

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueheng's expression turned somewhat grim, and he quickened his pace even further.

When Wang Nan arrived at the pharmacy that Dai Yueheng had mentioned, he saw a boy kneeling at the entrance of the pharmacy. His eyes were red but he did not shed a single tear. He clenched his teeth tightly and did not retaliate against the janitor's insults. He just kept kowtowing.

"Please, please give me some medicine. My mother has been bedridden for days."

"Get out! Who cares about that wretched maid? Who knows which wild man she seduced to give birth to this bastard child..."

Before the servant could finish speaking, Dai Yueheng stepped forward and, to his astonishment, kicked him away.

Looking at the scene before him, Wang Nan suddenly had a strange thought. The child in front of him was Huo Yuhao. This servant didn't know the truth; he was only acting on orders from above to bully the mother and son.

However, Dai Yueheng knew the intricacies of the situation. This servant was seemingly scolding Huo Yuhao, but he was also including Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger in his insults. No wonder Dai Yueheng interrupted him.

Hearing the noise, Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that his forehead was already red and scraped, with some areas even having broken skin and a trickle of blood.

Ugh!

Wang Nan sighed inwardly. No wonder Huo Yuhao harbored such deep hatred for the Duke's mansion. The suppression described in the book was just a single line; the reality of it unfolding before his eyes was quite different.

Considering Huo Yuhao's future attitude towards the Duke's mansion, one has to admit he was too kind.

Wang Nan pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and took out a bright green pill.

This is not a medicine for treating illnesses, but rather something made by Elder Zhuang of the Inner Court by compressing a rich life force to the extreme. Inner Court disciples receive quite a lot of it every year, and it was the same thing he fed to Dai Yueheng before.

"Soak this pill in water, then divide it into four portions and give them to your mother in four separate doses. Do you understand what I mean?"

Huo Yuhao looked up at Wang Nan, as if trying to etch Wang Nan's face into his heart. He, who had not shed any tears, felt as if something was about to flow from his eyes.

"Thank you, I understand." Huo Yuhao took the pill, clutched it tightly in his hand, raised his arm and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, as if trying to see more clearly. However, the tears, blood, and dust on his face were mixed together, only making his face dirtier.

"Junior brother is indeed righteous." Dai Yueheng smiled again and walked to Wang Nan's side.

"I just can't stand seeing children cry." Wang Nan smiled, then turned and left with Dai Yueheng.

After taking a few steps forward, Wang Nan suddenly turned around and saw Huo Yuhao looking at him just like last time, but this time he was no longer flustered and instead bowed to him.

When Huo Yuhao looked up, he suddenly felt a huge spiritual force rushing towards him. This spiritual force surged into his body, and even his martial soul, the Spirit Eye, lit up slightly involuntarily.

A gentle voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind along with this spiritual power.

"This pill can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. To completely cure your mother's illness, you must take her away from the Duke's mansion to see a doctor."

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that Wang Nan and Dai Yueheng had already walked away, and the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yuhao made up his mind and turned to run into the courtyard.
