Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 61 A World of Medicine and Poison: Poison Needle Therapy

Seeing Ji Wuming's actions, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's anger subsided somewhat.

However, Dugu Yan knew Ji Wuming's character very well. His current appearance was most likely an act, and in reality, he was terrified.

Dugu Yan walked up to Ji Wuming and glared at him angrily.

"Brother Ji, look me in the eye. During my private conversation with Yan Yan, we were overheard by someone of unknown origin."

"What?! Which thief dares to be so insolent, eavesdropping at the Ye family clinic? I'll kill him!"

Ji Wuming immediately smashed the vase he was holding, and, enraged, prepared to storm out of the room.

"This person must still be inside the clinic. If we don't search carefully, we'll be in trouble once the thief leaves."

"slow!"

Dugu Yan stopped Ji Wuming, who was about to investigate, and continued speaking.

"How could an ordinary thief enter the Ye Family Clinic? It must have been done by a patient with the strength of a Soul Saint or higher. If you, Brother Ji, are to pursue them, you are very likely to be killed by them. Therefore, you must not chase after them."

"Okay, little sister is very thoughtful. I almost lost my head."

Ji Wuming responded to Dugu Yan's words in order to prevent her from thinking that he, Ji Wuming, was the eavesdropper.

However, just as Ji Wuming was congratulating himself on escaping a disaster, Dugu Yan moved right up to him, glaring angrily.

"That thief was you, Ji Wuming, wasn't he?"

Seeing this, Ji Wuming hesitated for a moment. Just before Dugu Yan was about to confirm and beat him up, Ji Wuming suddenly took a few steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment, and said with extreme grievance,

"Little sister, how could your elder brother be so despicable as to do such a reprehensible and filthy thing? I never expected that you and Miss Lingling would distrust me so much. Since that's the case, since that's the case..."

Then, Ji Wuming stood up again, solemnly grasped Dugu Yan's hand, and gently patted it to comfort her.

"I am grateful for the help from the Ye and Dugu families these past few days. Even my most trusted little sister doubts me. Take care, and I hope we will meet again someday."

As he spoke, several tears streamed down Ji Wuming's face. At this moment, Ji Wuming looked like a wronged child, extremely distressed.

Suddenly realizing she might have made a mistake, Dugu Yan grabbed Ji Wuming's hand and then hugged him tightly.

"Try driving him away. Before my grandfather returns, if you leave the Ye family or even Tiandou City, you will only face death."

"Brother Wuming, Yanyan didn't mean it. We shouldn't have wronged you."

Even Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch anymore. After all, if the eavesdropper was really Ji Wuming, wouldn't he have revealed some flaws? On the contrary, she not only considered their feelings but also looked somewhat sad.

"Yanyan, I'm not going anymore. Don't hug me like that, it's suffocating me."

Ji Wuming pushed Dugu Yan away from him, but just as they were looking at each other in bewilderment, Dugu Yan suddenly attacked again, asking,

"Was it you?"

Just as Ji Wuming was about to say no, Dugu Yan noticed the faint smug smile on his lips.

"You really are a liar, Ji! You're asking for it!"

A punch was aimed at Ji Wuming's abdomen, but he immediately jumped back, successfully dodging Dugu Yan's attack.

"Little sister, are you trying to murder me?"

"Liar Ji, your smile betrays you. Lingling, you and I will surround him from both sides. I'll see if he confesses or not!"

Seeing that Dugu Yan's anger was growing, Ye Lingling immediately surrounded Ji Wuming, and the two women gradually forced him into a corner.

"Tell me, how much did you overhear?"

"Not much, just a little bit."

Seeing that Dugu Yan was certain that he had overheard their conversation, Ji Wuming decided to offer a brief explanation on her behalf.

"How much is 'a little bit'? Tell me."

At this moment, eight thin needles emitting black smoke appeared between the clenched fists of Dugu Yan's hands.

"Well……"

"Alright! I see you heard everything. Lingling, activate your healing soul skill and let me deal with him. I want Brother Ji to experience what it means to be a master of both poison and medicine."

Seeing Ji Wuming's hesitant expression, Dugu Yan felt an overwhelming sense of shame and indignation, and she walked towards him with extremely heavy steps.

"If you dare to resist, when Grandpa returns, he will deal with you personally. His poison is enough to kill a Soul Douluo."

As Ji Wuming watched Dugu Yan slowly approach, he covered his face with his hands and clamped his legs tightly together.

"Little sister, I was wrong! Please don't poke me! Please don't poke my face!"

"I know even if you don't say it."

Dugu Yan manipulated eight poisoned needles, inserting them into every acupoint on Ji Wuming's body.

"Ouch, be gentle, go slower, it hurts—"

Ye Lingling, standing to the side, couldn't bear to look, but inwardly she felt quite pleased.

"Sister Yan Yan, just do it properly, but please don't hurt her. Besides, I'm only a Great Soul Master, I can't provide long-term treatment."

A green light suddenly rose from beneath Ji Wuming's feet, and petals of the Nine-Star Begonia drifted down. However, she deliberately restrained her soul power, keeping the treatment at a relatively low level, so as to achieve disinfection without relieving pain.

However, for Ji Wuming, being pricked by poisoned needles was indeed very painful. Initially, there would be some unusual symptoms such as numbness, itching, and burning. But for someone whose martial soul possessed the tetanus attribute, while the poison had some effect, it wasn't yet life-threatening.

Moreover, Ye Lingling was there to heal his injuries.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Once I reach level 50, I'm definitely going to add a poison-attribute soul ring. At that point, your poison won't have any effect on me."

Ji Wuming, still in pain, was muttering to himself, but Dugu Yan heard a few words clearly.

"Alright, you want to add a poison attribute spirit ring to your fifth spirit ring? Since you have these ideas, then I won't hold back!"

She replaced the eight thin poison needles with eight other medium-sized poison needles that were darker in color and more toxic, and continued to use her most familiar "poison therapy" technique.

Holding his head in his hands, Ji Wuming had never suffered such humiliation before, especially in front of two girls.

"Please come back soon, senior! I'd rather be lectured by you than by these two 'beautiful and kind' girls."

At this moment, all he could think about was that beautiful, gentle, yet somewhat cold face from before. If Bing'er were here, she would definitely not ignore it.

In an unnamed forest

"Achoo!"

Dugu Boyingsheng sneezed.

"Who's cursing me? It must be that kid again."

Dugu Bo stood up and stretched, feeling incredibly refreshed. Not only had his soul power fully recovered, but his level 95 had also loosened up slightly, and his soul power level had increased.

It is important to know that for a Title Douluo to increase their soul power by one level, it would take at least a few years, and sometimes several decades. Some Title Douluos may not be able to increase their soul power by one level in their entire lives.

"I never expected that fighting that dragon would cause my soul power to increase so quickly?"

"Hahaha--"

Dugu Bo looked up at the sky; it was already getting dark.

"It's time to go back! Otherwise, who knows what outrageous things that kid might do to Yan Yan."
