Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 37 Grandfather and Grandson's Dialogue

"Yanyan, why are you here so late?" Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then said softly.

"You can go back now," he said, glancing at Prince Xuexing's guards before waving his hand.

The poison gas barrier of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was also opened directly by Dugu Bo's single thought.

"Yes, Lord Dugu." The guard left immediately.

Now, only Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan remain in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Grandpa," Dugu Yan bit her lower lip, her eyes looking somewhat lost, and asked, "Can you tell me... who exactly was the enemy who killed my parents?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. Why... did Yan Yan suddenly come to see him in the middle of the night to ask this question?

He had no choice but to resort to the excuse he had used countless times before, and said softly, "Yanyan, your strength is not enough yet. I will tell you when your cultivation level is higher in the future."

In the past, when Dugu Yan heard his explanation, she would have given up and continued to cultivate even more diligently.

However, this time...

Dugu Yan's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Then... how high does one's cultivation level need to be? Even Grandpa, a Title Douluo, can't take revenge? Were the people who killed Mom and Dad also Title Douluos?"

Dugu Bo realized something was amiss, but still managed a forced smile and said, "Yes...so Yanyan...we'll wait until you become stronger, until that day..."

"Grandpa," Dugu Yan called out softly.

Dugu Bo immediately saw... the tears welling up in Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes.

"Mom and Dad weren't killed, they died from poisoning, right?" she asked, sniffling and choking back tears.

Dugu Bo's old and thin body trembled, and his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

He looked at Dugu Yan in disbelief, but his mouth trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

His current reaction completely convinced Dugu Yan that Ning Feiliu's experimental notes were true.

"They...died from the toxins in their own bodies, from the Azure Scale Serpent venom passed down in our family." Dugu Yan said this with tears in her eyes and a smile in her eyes.

This sentence completely crushed Dugu Bo.

This reminded him of the time when his son and daughter-in-law died from poisoning.

The deaths of his son and daughter-in-law did not cause him much pain, but Dugu Bo just watched and watched!

He can't do anything, and whatever he does is useless.

A titled Douluo whose title is synonymous with poison, yet he watched as his loved ones succumbed to poison, dying from the venom of the Green Scale Serpent from the Dugu family...

This is truly a great irony.

The three greatest tragedies in life are losing one's father in youth, losing one's wife in middle age, and losing one's son in old age.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, suffered the pain of losing his wife and son in succession. Sometimes he really wondered if this was God punishing him for his indiscriminate killing of innocent people all this time.

Now his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has become his last source of support.

Over the years, he had been trying to find a way to cure the poison that had been eroding Dugu Yan since she was in the womb, all while keeping these things from her.

He has always protected Dugu Yan very well.

Because of his reputation as the Poison Douluo, no one dared to provoke him.

Moreover, no one knew that Dugu Yan's parents had died from the poison of the Jade Scale Snake, and his terrifying intimidation only added to the problem.

Even if someone knows about this, they wouldn't dare to talk about it.

Little did Dugu Bo know that rumors and gossip could not be stopped.

This only makes it harder for the sound to reach his ears; beneath the surface, rumors and gossip continue to circulate.

Now that Dugu Bo had heard Dugu Yan say these words, he was completely enraged.

"Yan Yan, who! Who told you this!" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he roared.

Seeing her grandfather Dugu Bo like this, Dugu Yan gave a bitter laugh and said, "It's something I know myself, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Normally, she would go to the laboratory and residence behind Ning Feiliu's medical clinic to look at the experimental records Ning Feiliu had made or the medical book he said he was writing.

However, this "Experimental Notes on the Green-Scaled Snake Venom" was not placed in a readily available place in the laboratory or residence.

Instead, it was placed under Ning Feiliu's pillow.

Clearly, he didn't want Dugu Yan to know about this.

If Ning Feiliu hadn't passed out drunk, and she hadn't carried him back to bed and happened to feel something under his pillow, she probably wouldn't have seen the "Jade Scale Snake Venom Experiment Notes"...

Naturally, they had no way of knowing about this.

"Which bastards told you that! Who dares to be so bold!?" Dugu Bo was still furious, his eyes gleaming green.

He made up his mind to exterminate the entire family of the person who told Dugu Yan about this!

Even if that person had only one chicken left, they would still die!

"Grandpa, no..." Dugu Yan pleaded, but did not tell Dugu Bo who he was.

"Is it... Ning Feiliu?" Dugu Bo asked calmly upon seeing this.

Now it seems that only that kid could make Dugu Yan show such an attitude.

And I just heard that the kid is quite skilled in medicine?

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Dugu Bo to have guessed it.

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan wiped away her tears and said anxiously, "I don't think knowing about this is a bad thing for me. On the contrary, I should be very grateful to him... grateful that he let me know about this, and grateful that he planned to save me. He is not a bad person. I found out about this by accident..."

"I only accidentally saw his experimental notes after he passed out. He planned to save me and had conducted many experiments for this purpose over the past six months."

"He wanted to save you, so he's been conducting experiments?" Dugu Bo's anger subsided considerably.

This is at least for Dugu Yan's own good, rather than just using facts to mock or hurt her.

He simply didn't think that a kid with only the strength of a Soul Master could come up with a way to solve his unparalleled Azure Scale Serpent venom.

Even he, the Poison Douluo, couldn't do anything about it, so what can a little kid do?

"Grandpa...please don't hurt him..." Dugu Yan pleaded. "He's a good person, I don't want him to get hurt...I don't want him to get hurt because of me..."

Seeing his beloved granddaughter in this state, Dugu Bo sighed inwardly.

It seems... Yan Yan has really fallen for that boy named Ning Fei Liu...

It's a pity that although that kid's medical skills are good, his talent as a Soul Master is too low, and he can't protect Yan Yan.

But since Yan Yan was so fond of him, and he was only doing his experiments for her benefit, it was only by chance that Yan Yan saw his lab notes and that's how she found out about it...

Then forget it.

"Yanyan... I won't cause him any trouble, don't worry," Dugu Bo finally said in a deep voice, "but you must promise not to go looking for him again."

Yan Yan and this kid... must break up!

If this continues, it won't do. Yan Yan might end up completely fixated on that boy.

Therefore, he had to be ruthless and break off the relationship between Dugu Yan and Ning Feiliu no matter what!

No matter how much Dugu Yan begged him next!

However, Dugu Yan gave a bitter smile, "Grandpa... I won't go to him, because I'm afraid the toxins in my body will contaminate him..."
