Douluo: Dream Overlord

"What?! There's actually such an external soul bone?!"

Dugu Yan was initially surprised but also delighted, saying, "Wouldn't that mean it can draw out the toxins from my body and prevent the loss of my soul power?"

"That's good. If it's really possible, your soul power should increase after the detoxification, since some of your soul power has been suppressing the toxins."

Shi Guang said in a deep voice, and Dugu Yan nodded repeatedly, unaware of the loophole in Shi Guang's words.

Normally, her venomous intuition would have keenly sensed that there was something wrong with Shi Guang's words.

How could he know that part of his soul power was suppressing the toxins, which slowed down his cultivation progress?

However, at this moment, Dugu Yan was overjoyed because she had found a way to detoxify, and under the influence of Shi Guang's spiritual power, her mind was a little slow to process what was happening.

In the words of time, it's similar to the effect of black magic or auras that reduce intelligence.

However, his mental strength is not yet able to directly affect Soul Masters of the same or lower level who have an advantage in Martial Soul.

For example, Dugu Yan's perception is stronger than that of other soul masters thanks to the enhancement of her Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

If you are not careful and get caught, you will only face two outcomes.

He could either use force to subdue her, forcibly control her, and then slowly alter her memories, but he hadn't had anyone test this process yet, so he didn't know how effective it was. If it failed, it would be a huge problem.

Either Dugu Yan sensed something was wrong, successfully escaped, and informed Dugu Bo, who then directly rewarded him with a poison of Title Douluo level, sending him to his death.

This is why he didn't harm Dugu Yan or the other nobles.

He won't act unless he's 100% certain of the outcome.

"That's great! Can we try it out now?"

Dugu Yan looked at the time with excitement.

"It's possible, but let's make it clear first, if it fails, there's nothing I can do."

Shi Guang calmly said, "There's one more thing. Because detoxification requires finding acupoints, you know how important acupoints are. If you're not careful, it can cause problems with your body, affecting the absorption of soul power and the suppression of toxins in your body."

I have studied the human meridian diagram, but I have not yet reached the point where I can sense acupoints using only my spiritual power.

Therefore, in order for me to more clearly sense the acupoints on your body, as well as the spiritual energy and toxins within them, you need to take off your clothes so I can directly locate the acupoints with my hands.

"What?! Take off your clothes? And with your hands?!"

Dugu Yan's expression changed drastically. She had a boyfriend, how could she expose her body in front of another man, especially since he was going to touch her!

"Isn't there any other way?" Dugu Yan asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Yes, you can use herbs to detoxify and gradually eliminate the toxins."

Time said indifferently.

In the original story, even Tang San only managed to suppress the poison of the Jade Serpent with the Eight Spider Lances and herbs, but poison can regenerate, just like soul power.

Later, Gu Dubo only truly eliminated the hidden danger by relying on the terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and storing the poison in his soul bone, and his soul power also increased by one level.

To achieve a permanent solution, you need to store the toxins in solid, storable items. Only by accumulating these items over many years can most of the toxins be eliminated.

Time never intended to tell Dugu Yan the knowledge that she could use soul bones or soul rings to store toxins, which would not only detoxify her but also enhance the effects of her soul bones or soul skills.

If you tell the other person and they happily make dumplings, what will you eat? What will you catch? What will you play?

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth. Of course, her family knew the method Shi Guang had mentioned, but over the years, using herbs to detoxify had only temporarily suppressed the toxins and had not truly solved the problem.

"Should I really do this, temporarily abandoning my dignity for the sake of detoxification?"

Her instincts told her to reject this tempting option; if she could just endure the gazes of other men for a while, she might be able to get rid of the poison completely.

Grandpa raised her with great difficulty from childhood. She was the apple of his eye, and he tried his best to bring her everything, from the stars to the moon.

Now the opportunity is right in front of me; it's time for me to repay his kindness in raising me!

The time for filial piety is just around the corner!

Moreover, by then he could ask his grandfather to come and help him remove the poison, and then he could take the opportunity to have his grandfather remove the poison and then modify the boy's memory.

This is simply the best of both worlds.

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan suddenly understood and gritted her teeth, saying, "Alright! For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Time shrugged and turned its back, clearly leaving Dugu Yan time to undress.

Looking at the back of the boy who was almost as tall as her, Dugu Yan blushed and gritted her teeth as she took off her clothes one by one.

Time seemed to be whistling unintentionally. Hearing the rustling sounds behind him, his mental energy constructed an image in his mind.

"Okay, you can turn around now."

Dugu Yan's smooth voice sounded from behind.

Time turned around, and what came into view was Dugu Yan, who was naked except for clothes covering her private parts.

"Hey! Acupoints are all over the body! How am I supposed to understand you hiding them like this?!"

Time said with dissatisfaction.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes and simply removed her clothes, revealing her spacious and voluptuous body.

"Hey! Detoxification requires the combined soul power of both parties; I can't just do it all by myself!"

Listening to the sound of time passing, Dugu Yan opened her eyes in embarrassment and annoyance.

What met her eyes was a scene of smiling faces, and her gaze was filled with surprise and astonishment.

He looked at his own body, his eyes filled with innocence.

There was absolutely no impurity in the way those men looked at her.

Of course, this is the result of Time using its mental power to control its gaze.

"Alright, come here, let's find a quiet place where we won't be disturbed to detox."

Time entered the only room, and Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and following her in.

Only a few pieces of clothing remained on the floor in the living room, still radiating warmth.

Shiguang inflated the hotel's complimentary inflatable disposable blanket, mat, and quilt set onto the bed and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"What are you waiting for? Come here!"

Seeing Dugu Yan covering her chest with her hands, Shi Guang said with dissatisfaction, "Let's finish this quickly! I still need to cultivate!"

What do you mean by a quick victory? What blatant lies!

Looking at the unsatisfactory time, a fire also welled up in Dugu Yan's heart.

Why are you looking at me with such disdain? Are you looking down on me?

Do you know how many boys have tried to pursue me since I was a child, only to be rejected by me?

You've only ever seen your own body since you were a child. If you were allowed to see it, you'd be incredibly lucky to have such a sight to behold. Why are you making that face?

Under the influence of the spiritual power of time and the fear-induced soul absorption of the external soul bone spine, Dugu Yan's negative emotions were amplified, and her eyes involuntarily turned red.

Countless negative emotions surged in her mind, and her mental strength was unknowingly infected and eroded by these negative emotions.

Why do you look at me like that?! What's the big deal?! I'm the one who looks down on you, not the other way around!

Dugu Yan roared inwardly.

She gritted her teeth, sat cross-legged naked on the bed, and looked at Shiguang with a smug expression.

Time shrugged, a glint of light in his eyes.

"Done!"
