Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 61 The Immortal Herb Password Successfully Entered

"Your mother? Xuanbing Douluo?" Dugu Bo looked at Nan Feihuang in confusion.

He naturally knew about Nan Feihuang's mother, the newly promoted Xuanbing Douluo, but he and Lan Xue were complete strangers. What did she have to say to him alone?

Nan Feihuang had no choice. After all, he couldn't tell Dugu Bo that he had inexplicably come to him. What important thing could a child have? Even if he was the son of a Title Douluo, so what? Dugu Bo couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him.

But it's different if it's a message delivered on behalf of his mother. He could refuse her last visit, but now that they're face to face, and both are titled Douluo, Dugu Bo can't completely ignore Lan Xue.

Despite his arrogant personality, he was too lazy to do anything that would needlessly offend someone of his rank.

"Let's go, kid!" Dugu Bo grabbed Nan Feihuang and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Not to mention Qin Ming, even Soul Douluo like Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan couldn't react in time. Sure enough, even among Soul Douluo, the gap between them and Title Douluo was still as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

Soon, Dugu Bo led Nan Feihuang to a small lake outside the academy. "Kid, don't worry, there's no one else around here. Just say what you need to say."

"Yes, senior. May I ask you, how is the tingling and itching sensation in your ribs on rainy days? Is it getting worse?" Nan Feihuang asked directly.

"What did you say?" Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Nan Feihuang, however, seemed oblivious and continued speaking to himself, "Senior, your symptoms flare up twice a day, at noon and midnight, and given your current condition, each episode should last for at least an hour. Also, every night, around the third watch of the night, you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head, along with full-body spasms, lasting at least half an hour. Am I right?"

After describing Dugu Bo's symptoms in one breath, Nan Feihuang naturally noticed his anger, but he was not afraid at all, as if he heard a "ding" sound from the darkness.

If there were a system, it would definitely display this message at this moment: "Password entered correctly. Please select the herb you need."

"You brat, shut up!" Dugu Bo could no longer hold back and grabbed Nan Feihuang by the neck.

This is his biggest secret, and no one knows it. He doesn't allow anyone to know it either, otherwise, if his enemies find out when his symptoms flare up and take the opportunity to attack him, he won't have enough lives to fight back.

"Senior, please don't be angry. What good would it do to kill me?" Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

Dugu Bo was taken aback. Yes, would killing this kid be of any use?

He was just relaying a message on behalf of his mother. The person who truly knew about his symptoms was Lan Xue. Could he possibly go and kill Lan Xue?

Although Na Lanxue is a newly promoted Title Douluo, after adding her ninth spirit ring, her level should at least be level 91, on par with his own.

Unlike herself, who was not good at fighting alone, Lan Xue was a well-known expert in one-on-one combat. She once fought Tang Hao to a standstill, and even forced Tang Hao to use the legendary explosive ring technique of the Haotian Sect before being defeated.

Dugu Bo believed that he was no match for Lan Xue in a one-on-one fight.

This is another purpose for Nan Feihuang to deliberately bring up his mother: self-preservation. If he told Dugu Bo that his secret was known only to him, Dugu Bo might kill him to keep it a secret, without waiting for Nan Feihuang to explain.

Even if he doesn't kill him today to avoid suspicion, as a poison soul master, it wouldn't be difficult for him to let Nan Feihuang die quietly in the academy in the future.

But things are different now. In Dugu Bo's mind, even if he killed Nan Feihuang, it would be useless, because he still thought that Lan Xue had discovered the matter and then asked Nan Feihuang to convey it to him. If he really killed Nan Feihuang and angered Lan Xue, even if she didn't take action herself, she would spread the word about his poisoning and the timing of its onset, and he would be in big trouble.

Dugu Bo is known for his vindictive nature, and he has quite a few enemies.

Therefore, he has no need to do something so thankless and exhausting.

Moreover, the fact that the Kingdom of Gulei contacted him immediately after learning about this suggests they meant no harm. Otherwise, they could have easily killed him while he was suffering from the effects of the poison.

"Tell me, what does your mother want from me to keep this secret?" Dugu Bo asked in a deep voice, putting down Nan Feihuang.

"Senior, I have my own request, but before that, please give me a chance to remove the poison from your body." Nan Feihuang still wanted to save the person first and then ask for a reward, so that he could feel at ease taking the immortal herb.

"What did you say? You can cure the poison in my body? Kid, don't joke with me like that. Even your mother might not be able to do it." How could Dugu Bo easily believe the words of a ten-year-old child?

"My mother can't do it, but my master can. Senior, if you promise to keep it a secret, I'm willing to prove it to you immediately." Nan Feihuang naturally knew that if he wanted Dugu Bo to believe him, he would have to show some ability.

"Your master?" Dugu Bo was surprised that Nan Feihuang had a master. Even though he had a titled Douluo as an elder in his family, he still became a disciple of someone else. His master must be no ordinary person.

"Yes, my master's name is Zuo Ci, and he is a figure like an immortal," Nan Feihuang said. He inherited Zuo Ci's Dunjia Heavenly Book, so it was only natural for him to call him master.

"Actually, my mother is not good at poisons. The reason she can detect the senior's deadly poison is mainly because of my master. During this time with Sister Yanzi, I used the medical skills that my master taught me to discover that she seems to be poisoned, and that the poison comes from her own body. After I told my master, he deduced that you, as Sister Yanzi's grandfather, must be poisoned even more severely."

"Your master is truly an extraordinary figure. I wonder if I may have the honor of meeting him?" Dugu Bo roughly believed Nan Feihuang's words because what he said was true. He had never heard of Lan Xue being an expert in poisons. In fact, he had always suspected that there was another master behind Nan Feihuang. Otherwise, could it be that this little brat discovered that he was poisoned?

"Senior, my master is always elusive, and he has gone off to wander somewhere again. But before he left, he passed on to me the method to cure your poison. Please take a look at this technique." Nan Feihuang took out a technique recorded in the Book of Escape and handed it to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo took it curiously, and after reading it a few times, his eyes widened in horror. "It's called the Taoist Golden Body Technique? I've never heard of it before, but it is indeed a mysterious divine skill. If one can master it, one can indeed become immune to all poisons."

"However, it seems that this technique must be practiced before poisoning. Kid, the poison has already spread throughout my body. It seems that obtaining this technique now is of little use. But Yan Yan, her poisoning is mild, so perhaps she can recover with it."

Dugu Bo felt it was a pity that such a powerful skill was right in front of him, yet it was useless against him.

Nan Feihuang was not that simple; he had a backup plan.
