Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Hello, please book seven rooms for us, and we'll stay until tomorrow night."

Upon arriving at the best five-star hotel in Soto City, Yu Tianheng pulled out his gold card and handed it to the front desk, saying with a "I'm not short of money" expression.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Wealth truly moves people's hearts. The receptionist blushed as she handed seven room cards to the tall, imposing, and domineering Yu Tianheng.

"Thank you." Yu Tianheng took the card and, without making a sound, also took the slip of paper from the receptionist, then smiled and quietly tossed it into the trash can beside him.

Under the warm gaze of Han Chun at the front desk and the forced smile of Dugu Yan, the seven people went to their respective rooms.

The seven rooms are located on different floors because of their different room numbers.

Yu Tianheng and the Wang Ba brothers are on one floor, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Yu Feng are on another floor, and Shi Guang is on a separate fourth floor.

"Time, wait a moment."

Dugu Yan called out to Shi Guang, who was going upstairs, and said softly, "I need to talk to you later."

Shi Guang looked puzzled, nodded, and walked upstairs.

Dugu Yan glanced at Yu Feng behind her, who was unlocking the door with a room card, and a resolute look flashed in her eyes.

Little Yufeng, don't blame your older sister. She's only doing this for your own good!

Upon arriving at the room on the fourth floor, Shi Guang unlocked the door with the room card, revealing a nice room.

The room is painted a warm yellow, making it look cozy and comfortable.

It has all the necessary facilities, including a transparent bathroom and a jacuzzi.

Shi Guang checked and found that the bedding in the room was all disposable inflatable, and the room was clean and tidy.

"As expected of a five-star hotel, apart from the outdated facilities, it is in no way inferior to the high-quality hotels in my previous life."

Shi Guang nodded in satisfaction and sat down on the sofa. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, Dugu Yan appeared with a complex expression.

"Please come in," Shi Guang glanced at the doorway, "Where is Yu Tianheng?"

"He didn't sleep well yesterday, and he was also very tired from the long journey, so he took a shower and went to bed."

Dugu Yan sat on the sofa, and Shi Guang took two bottles of water from the simple refrigerator next to her and handed one to Dugu Yan.

"Thank you," Dugu Yan said, taking the water and placing it on the table. She glanced at Shi Guang, who had found a stool to sit on, and after carefully choosing her words, she began to speak.

"Actually, this relationship between you and Yufeng is not suitable."

Shi Guang paused for a moment, and Dugu Yan continued, "Sexual attraction will not only be ostracized and despised in the Heaven Dou Empire, but will also be discriminated against and cursed in the Star Luo Empire, and even in a place like the Spirit Hall, it will be condemned by everyone."

I hope you understand your situation. After all, you don't want to ruin your own reputation, Yu Feng's reputation, or that of your parents, do you?

Hearing this Japanese-style advice, Shi Guang's lips twitched.

It seems Dugu Yan has misunderstood! She thinks her relationship with Yu Feng is inappropriate.

"You're overthinking it. Here's the thing..."

Shi Guang explained the situation to Dugu Yan in general terms, and Dugu Yan listened with a somewhat surprised expression.

"So that's how it is."

Dugu Yan suddenly realized that she no longer doubted the truth of Shi Guang's words.

On one hand, Shi Guang's story sounded plausible and didn't seem like a lie; on the other hand, with the blessing of the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, Shi Guang possessed some of the characteristics of a Martial Soul.

With the added mental power of the Remnant Dream, the enhancement of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and several external Soul Bones, his mental power was now capable of subtly altering the thoughts of other Soul Masters through language.

Hearing Shi Guang's explanation, Dugu Yan felt relieved and stood up, saying, "In that case, I'm at ease. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Wait a minute." Shi Guang suddenly called out to Dugu Yan, who had just stood up.

"Is there anything else?" Dugu Yan turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"Your martial soul is the Azure Serpent, right? It's a rare poison-attribute martial soul."

Time spoke slowly and deliberately, as he couldn't possibly let go of this rare opportunity for the two of them to spend time together; such opportunities were rare when Yu Tianheng was around.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked, her interest piqued, as she crossed her arms.

"I've been researching poison properties lately; it's part of my major course."

Shi Guang smiled and said, "I'm very interested in the poison attribute. As a rare attribute, it's often rarely mentioned or studied."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

Dugu Yan seemed to have guessed what Shi Guang wanted to say.

"I want to say that I have a clear understanding of toxins," Shi Guang smiled slightly, "including how to detoxify."

"Antidote? You think you can do it?" Dugu Yan sneered. "The venom of the Jade Scale Snake has plagued our family for hundreds of years. We have been researching it for generations and still can't find a solution."

You, a little kid, can cure poison? That's a complete fantasy!

Under the continued influence of the power of time, Dugu Yan unknowingly revealed her thoughts.

"It's all about human effort. You're too caught up in the situation to see clearly, but someone like me, who sees things clearly from the sidelines, might actually be able to remove the toxins that's been bothering you."

Time speaks slowly and deliberately.

"Talk is cheap! Tell me, what's your plan?"

Dugu Yan sneered. She wanted to see what this boy, who dared to make such a boast, had up his sleeve.

"The solution isn't difficult at all; it's actually quite simple."

Shi Guang snapped his fingers and said, "It's just about sucking out the toxins from the body and then using detoxifying herbs to help with the detoxification process."

"You make it sound so simple. Don't we know about detoxification?" Dugu Yan said disappointedly, "The problem is that the soul power and toxins in our bodies have already merged together. If we detoxify, it will not only lead to the loss of soul power, but it may also threaten our lives!"

"That's because you don't have a way to eliminate toxins and replenish your soul power."

Eight crystal-clear spider spears emerged behind Shi Guang, and he slowly said to Dugu Yan in astonishment, "And I have this method!"

"This is... an external soul bone!?"

Dugu Yan stared in astonishment at the eight spider spears that had burst forth from the back of Time, tearing through her clothes, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Not bad! This is the external soul bone I managed to absorb by chance, called the Eight Spider Lances!"

The external soul bone and time seemed to be in perfect harmony. A spear resembling a spider's leg gently rested on his hand, and he whispered:

"The effect of my external soul bone is very simple: it absorbs other people's soul power and then purifies it, and it can also inject my own soul power into other people's bodies."

Shi Guang calmly said that the external soul bone was like his arm, able to extend and retract freely, and could also feel the same physical reactions as his original body.

Just like you can feel something by touching it or feel the weight of something when you pick it up.

If that's the case, when Tang San went berserk because Xiao Wu was injured and forced Ye Lingling to heal Xiao Wu, it seemed like the Eight Spider Lances were piercing Dugu Yan's chest.

Wasn't Tang San secretly groping Dugu Yan's chest?

Shi Guang thought with a strange expression that Dugu Yan had no idea what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have given him a poison mist.

She exclaimed excitedly, "What?! There are actually external soul bones like this?!"
