Douluo Continent: Evolving from the Demon Soul Great White Shark

evening.

With the poisonous fog providing shelter, the herb garden became dark even earlier.

Especially after Bai Xiao swept away all the glowing fairy herbs, the entire area became barren, with only two springs, one red and one blue, emitting a faint light.

Dugu Yan was already dressed and ready.

Right now, she's wiping away tears while adding firewood to the fire.

In the quiet herb garden, the flickering firelight perfectly illuminated the girl's dirty little face.

Because the charcoal and dust would come into contact with the back of his hands, and Dugu Yan kept wiping his tears with the back of his hands, his delicate and charming face was covered with black and gray marks, making him look really pitiful.

"Hello!"

"Were you slacking off?"

"Why did it take you so long to boil water for washing your feet?"

Bai Xiao's deliberately ruthless voice came from not far away, startling the girl.

She hurriedly added another piece of firewood to the fire and replied tremblingly.

"It'll be ready soon!"

"I didn't slack off~"

Having experienced the day, Dugu Yan has now completely given up on the idea of ​​resisting Bai Xiao and is behaving like a docile little lamb.

Bai Xiao told her to blink once, but she didn't dare blink a second time.

however……

"Serves you right for rushing me! Serves you right for bullying me!"

"I'll burn you to death!"

"You'll burn, you bastard!"

The firelight reflected the girl's resentful and wicked expression.

Dugu Yan looked at the boiling water in front of her and added another handful of firewood to the fire.

"I'll let you wash my feet!"

"I'll burn off a layer of your skin!"

Perhaps anticipating Bai Xiao's reaction, the girl, her face streaked with tears and covered in charcoal ash, revealed a smug, mischievous smile.

After a while, only when she was sure that the water temperature in the basin could not rise any further did she carefully bring the boiling water to Bai Xiao.

"that……"

"The water...the water is boiled."

In front of the wooden house, Bai Xiao was leaning back in a chair, idly flipping through Dugu Bo's recent conjectures and theories about the poison of martial souls.

Hearing the girl's incredibly guilty tone, he couldn't help but put down the booklet and turn to look at the person opposite him.

Dugu Yan was already lacking in confidence, and when she noticed Bai Xiao's gaze, she simply pretended to be nonchalant and turned her head to the other side.

To cover her embarrassment, she looked left and right, especially her helpless little hands, which were already tied in several knots, as if afraid that others would not know what mischief she was up to.

Seeing this, Bai Xiao looked down at the basin with suspicion.

"Wow~"

The steaming hot water had just been removed from the fire and was still bubbling. The steam rising from it was almost reaching above the toxic fumes, which showed just how terrifying the water temperature was.

No wonder this woman seemed so guilty; she was waiting for me here!

He looked at Dugu Yan again, but the girl who had been stealing glances at him instantly turned her head away and continued to look around nonchalantly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her.

Bai Xiao sneered inwardly.

"What are you standing there for? Take off your shoes!"

"what?"

Dugu Yan never expected Bai Xiao to ask her to do something like this. In her memory, boiling water for someone to wash their feet was already humble enough, and now she had to take off her shoes? Would she have to massage their feet afterwards?

How could she, the granddaughter of a titled Douluo, have ever done such a thing as serving others!

Most importantly, the water was so hot from its own heating...

"Hurry up, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Bai Xiao glared fiercely at the girl, then offered her one foot.

Dugu Yan's face was dark with anger. Forced by his tyranny, she could only hold his feet in her arms and take off his shoes with a bitter expression.

"You filthy scoundrel!"

"Waaaaah~"

"You're just bullying people~"

As she was thinking to herself, a sudden inspiration struck her...

In order to allow Bai Xiao to experience the high temperature of the hot water to the fullest extent, Dugu Yan took off both of her shoes before moving the basin over.

She planned to press both of Bai Xiao's feet in at the same time.

Even if it might burn your hands.

But it was worth it!

"I'll burn you to death!"

Clenching her teeth, Dugu Yan gripped Bai Xiao's ankles and suddenly exerted force, pressing both of his feet into the basin of water.

It has to be said that some women, when they get really ruthless, will even hurt themselves.

Bai Xiao watched helplessly as Dugu Yan's hands were already burning red, yet she still refused to let go with a resentful expression, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Luckily, this woman is only a Soul Venerable right now."

"If only she were a little stronger."

"Tsk~"

……

"Aren't you hot?"

Bai Xiao squinted, revealing an expression of unbearable disapproval as he spoke.

Dugu Yan, who was squatting on the ground, was stunned. She then realized that she had not heard the scream that Bai Xiao had expected.

"What's going on?"

"Aren't you hot?"

The girl returned the question with the same one Bai Xiao had asked her.

Bai Xiao: "I wrapped my feet with my soul power, and now the water temperature feels just right."

"But you, I see your hands are all red from the heat."

"Eek~"

As he spoke, Bai Xiao looked at Dugu Yan's red hands with a smile.

At this moment, Dugu Yan could no longer bear the high temperature of the hot water and suddenly pulled her hands out.

"Waaaaah~"

"You're bullying me!"

Large tears rolled down, one by one falling to the ground and melting into the soil.

Perhaps it was because the burn hurt too much, or perhaps it was because I felt too wronged...

In short, Dugu Yan cried uncontrollably, and her cries echoed throughout the entire medicinal garden.

This scene amused Bai Xiao greatly. He never expected that his first stop in the human world would be such a source of amusement.

On the open ground, Dugu Yan hopped around and shook her hands for a long time before slowly recovering.

After all, he was a Soul Master of over level 30; he wouldn't be so easily scalded by a basin of hot water.

"Are you feeling better?"

"I knew you weren't up to any good. Once you're better, come back and wash my feet again."

Dugu Yan looked at the arrogant Bai Xiao, tears streaming down her face.

Nevertheless, she still wrapped her hands with her soul power and slowly walked up to Bai Xiao.

"You should have done this earlier. You had to make things difficult for yourself. Look what you've done to yourself."

"What do you mean I got myself into this mess?"

The girl reluctantly put her hand into the basin of water while looking up at Bai Xiao with her bright, watery eyes.

"Anyway, it wasn't me..."

"Haha~"

Bai Xiao chuckled softly, stopped arguing, and then picked up a small booklet from the side and began to read it.

In fact, Dugu Bo had done a lot of research on detoxification, but unfortunately he had all gone in the wrong direction.

As he flipped through the pages and enjoyed Dugu Yan's foot-washing service, Bai Xiao smiled and chatted with the girl from time to time, as if he had returned to the past.

But as she was washing, Dugu Yan's expression suddenly changed.

All feelings of grievance and resentment faded away, leaving only a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she began to breathe rapidly, clutching her chest tightly, ignoring the water on her hands, as if she were enduring some immense pain.

Moreover, Bai Xiao could see that the other party's symptoms were getting worse and worse, and there was a hint that they were getting out of control.

If left unattended, it could very well lead to death.

"no……"

"You're not going to be driven crazy by me, are you?"

Seeing that Dugu Yan's lips were turning increasingly purple and her movements were becoming weaker, Bai Xiao suddenly realized a serious problem...
