Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 36 Dugu Yan Wants to Thank Lin Feng

Good heavens, he's shouting so desperately, just how much does he like Dugu Yan? Dugu Yan looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and an awkward expression immediately appeared on her face. It was clearly only Yu Tianheng who had feelings for her, but anyone who didn't know better would think that there was a deep affection between them. "Alright, now that the troublesome guy is gone, Lin Feng, can you take out the immortal herb for Yan Yan to take?"

Just then, Dugu Bo excitedly said to Lin Feng, already impatient. His purpose in coming to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy today wasn't to deal with Yu Tianheng's matter; resolving the backlash from the poison on Gu Duyan's body was the top priority. Seeing Dugu Bo's eager appearance, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and took out two immortal herbs. Dugu Bo recognized one of them—it was the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd he had eaten at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—but the other one was indeed one he had never seen before. "Lin Feng, kid, did you keep one for yourself? Why did you only give me one back then?"

Dugu Bo looked at the two immortal herbs that Lin Feng took out and asked with some doubt, "Are you treating him differently? Are you discriminating against him just because he's an old man?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him and explained, "Do you think immortal herbs are like cabbages? Finding two 'Sweet Potato Golden Dragons' in one place is already incredibly lucky. There's only one Dragon Saliva Grass; you can't possibly steal your granddaughter's immortal herb, can you?"

Old Poisoner, you're still too greedy. Gangzi leveled up after eating the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma and broke through the level 30 bottleneck. He was so happy that he almost kissed Tang San. Now you've not only solved the problem of poison backlash, but you've also advanced two levels in the Title Douluo realm. What more could you want?

Lin Feng's words left Dugu Bo speechless. He stammered, "This... I certainly wouldn't steal Yan Yan's immortal herb!"

Although that was his answer, Dugu Bo still felt that Lin Feng was hiding something, but he had no way to verify it now. All the immortal herbs near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had long been cleared away by Lin Feng, leaving only some seeds planted there. Just then, Dugu Yan looked at the two immortal herbs in Lin Feng's hand and asked with some doubt, "Grandpa, are those two herbs in Teacher Lin's hand really edible?"

This was the first time she had ever seen such a strange herb. "Of course you can eat it, Yan Yan. Actually, Grandpa was lying to you before. All your discomfort wasn't illness, but poisoning."

"This is a flaw of the Jade Serpent Martial Soul, a problem that no one who possesses the Jade Serpent Martial Soul can escape. Your father also left us because of the backlash from the Jade Serpent venom."

Dugu Bo hadn't told Yan Yan these secrets before because he was powerless to deal with the backlash from the toxins. But now it's different. After consuming the immortal herb, not only will the backlash problem be solved, but it might even allow his martial soul to evolve. So naturally, he wouldn't have to worry about the secret being leaked. "What!? Grandpa, is everything you're saying true?"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo reveal these truths she had never heard before, Dugu Yan was both shocked and heartbroken. She had actually been poisoned, and her father hadn't died from hunting spirit beasts, but from a backlash of the Azure Scale Serpent's venom. Hearing Dugu Yan's story, Qian Renxue and the members of the Royal Fighting Team were also surprised. They hadn't expected that the Azure Scale Serpent Martial Soul would have a problem with venom backlash. It seemed that poison really wasn't so useful. Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, the poison on Dugu Bo's body was nothing but garbage. It was such a pity that Dugu Yan's father had died from such garbage poison. At this moment, Dugu Bo sighed and then said, "Yan Yan, I'll tell you the details later. Now, take these two immortal herbs. After taking them, all your problems will be resolved."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Dugu Yan nodded to Dugu Bo, then took the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Dragon Saliva Grass from Lin Feng and began to consume them. As Dugu Yan consumed the immortal herbs, everyone's attention focused on her. They were all very curious about how much of an improvement Dugu Yan would experience after consuming the immortal herbs Lin Feng had provided. Time passed by, and soon Dugu Yan successfully absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Dragon Saliva Grass. At that moment, a phantom of a Jade Scale Serpent slowly emerged from Dugu Yan's body. When the Jade Scale Serpent phantom was fully revealed, Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock, "This is... the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor!"

"An evolved version?"

As Dugu Bo finished speaking, everyone's attention focused on the illusory image of the Azure Scale Serpent on Dugu Yan's body. This Azure Scale Serpent was completely different from the previous one; in addition to evolving into the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor, it also had a golden horn growing from its head. "Grandpa, I think I've broken through to level forty!"

Looking at the evolved Azure Serpent Martial Soul and sensing the increase in her own soul power level, Dugu Yan said excitedly, "Lin Feng, thank you!" She could now feel that all the discomfort she had previously experienced had disappeared. This meant she no longer had to worry about dying from a poison backlash.

After her initial joy, Dugu Yan ran towards Lin Feng with a grateful expression. Judging from her posture, she clearly intended to make some intimate gesture towards Lin Feng. The other members of the Royal Fighting Team were all shocked to see this. Was this still the vice-captain they knew? They had never seen her be so proactive with anyone before!

Dugu Bo was very pleased at this moment. His good granddaughter had finally come to her senses. However, when Qian Renxue saw this scene, her heart was in her throat. Damn it, even if you want to get close to other women, she should be the first to taste it. On the other side, Lin Feng was dumbfounded when he saw Dugu Yan rushing over. This silly girl, she wouldn't want to kiss him like Ning Rongrong kissed Tang San, would she?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decisively used his movement technique to avoid Dugu Yan's lunging body. Dugu Yan, who missed her target, was like: ? ? ?

"Teacher Lin, I haven't thanked you yet!"

After saying this, Dugu Yan prepared to get up again, but at that moment, Qian Renxue walked over, reached out and blocked her way, saying somewhat displeasedly, "Alright, there are many ways to express gratitude, does it have to be this way?"

When Dugu Yan saw that the person stopping her was His Highness the Crown Prince, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. However, seeing his displeased expression, Dugu Yan ultimately decided against taking any further action.
