"Dugu Bo greets Your Highness." Dugu Bo bowed first.

Su Mo said calmly, "Dugu Bo, since you were able to find this place, your granddaughter Dugu Yan must have already told you what happened a few days ago."

"I know that your Dugu family has suffered from the backlash of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent venom for generations, and I have a way to help you solve this problem, but the price is that the Dugu family will henceforth submit to the Spirit Hall."

Dugu Bo's pupils dilated in shock; he never expected that Su Mo in front of him would know the secrets of their Dugu family.

And most importantly, the other party actually said they had a solution!

"Your Highness, are you... are you sure you mean it?" Dugu Bo asked in a trembling voice, unable to believe it.

You should know that the Dugu family has suffered from this torment for generations, but has always been helpless.

Su Mo looked too young, which made it impossible for Dugu Bo to easily believe him.

Su Mo chuckled lightly: "Dugu Bo, do you think I have any reason to lie to you? What does your Dugu family have that I would covet?"

Dugu Bo was speechless. Indeed, his Dugu family had nothing that a powerful figure like Su Mo would covet.

Upon realizing this, Dugu Bo immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, as long as you can truly resolve the backlash problem of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom, I am willing to lead the Dugu family to submit to you!"

“Very good.” Su Mo stood up, hands behind his back. “Sit down cross-legged now, and I will help you condense a Poison Soul Core, which will solve your problem. As for your descendants, there are other ways.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked puzzled.

"Soul Core? What's that? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Su Mo said calmly, "You don't need to know too much. Just do what I say later, understand?"

After a moment's hesitation, Dugu Bo made up his mind: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Dugu Bo immediately sat cross-legged.

Then, Su Mo guided Dugu Bo to condense his soul core. Although Dugu Bo's current foundation was not enough, with Su Mo by his side, there was naturally no problem.

In just a few hours, with Su Mo's help, Dugu Bo successfully condensed a Poison Soul Core.

The venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent in his limbs and bones had already gathered in his soul core.

Dugu Bo's hair had turned jet black, his original green pupils had become a normal color, and even his face looked a few years younger.

Chapter 261 Dugu Bo's Submission

"Hahaha, that's exhilarating!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily, "This soul core is truly amazing!"

Over the years, Dugu Bo has been tormented by the poison to the point of wishing he were dead. If it weren't for his own powerful strength, he would probably have died from the poison long ago.

Now, having condensed this unprecedented soul core, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort within his body. His soul power even increased by one level, bringing him one step closer to becoming a Title Douluo.

After laughing for a moment, Dugu Bo composed himself and his expression suddenly turned serious.

He knelt on one knee before Su Mo and said respectfully, "Your subordinate, Dugu Bo, pays respects to Your Highness! From this day forward, the entire Dugu family will follow Your Highness's lead without question!"

"No need for formalities," Su Mo said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dugu Bo stood up after saying this.

"By the way, is there anyone else in your family who is suffering from toxins?" Su Mo asked calmly.

Dugu Bo hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, I have a son named Dugu Xin who is currently suffering from the backlash of the Azure Scale Serpent's venom. I'm afraid his days are numbered. Moreover, his current strength is only at the Soul King level, so I'm afraid he won't be able to condense a Soul Core. I wonder if Your Highness has any other solutions?"

Dugu Bo looked at Su Mo with anticipation.

Su Mo pondered for a moment: "How about this, Dugu Bo, you go back to Tiandou City immediately and move the Dugu family to Wuhun City. After that, you bring Dugu Xin to see me."

Su Mo knew that the Dugu family was not like the Feng and Shui families. In addition to their own family, they also had cities or academies, and there were too many things involved behind them. After all, Dugu Bo had always done things his own way, so his family was not large and had no ties, so it was easy for him to move to Wuhun City.

Furthermore, Dugu Xin is just a nobody; he doesn't hold much value for Su Mo and isn't worth making a trip to Tiandou City himself.

Su Mo was able to help Dugu Xin get rid of the Bilin snake venom in his body and save his life, which was already more than enough.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy.

Although he didn't get a specific antidote, he knew that since Su Mo had said that, there must be a way to save his son.

Su Mo nodded slightly: "Yes, you may leave now."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Dugu Bo bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Only when Dugu Bo's figure completely disappeared from sight did Su Mo sit back down in the rocking chair.

Gu Yuena and Xue Di exchanged a glance, then stepped forward to massage his shoulders and legs.

Su Mo enjoyed the service from the two women, looking very content.

The following day, in the early hours of the morning.

The lighting in Su Mo's room was dim.

Su Mo was lying half-reclined on the bed, revealing his muscular upper body. He had Xue Di on his left and Bibi Dong on his right.

The two women had flushed faces and slightly disheveled hair. They nestled tightly in Su Mo's arms, their brows furrowed with weariness.

Fortunately, the two women were very strong and had amazing recovery abilities. Even after a night of intense training, they recovered quickly.

At this moment, Su Mo turned his head to look at Bibi Dong on his right and said softly, "By the way, Dong'er, the Dugu family from Tiandou City will be coming to Wuhun City to seek refuge with Wuhun Hall in a few days. Remember to make arrangements for them then."

Furthermore, with my help, Dugu Bo has now successfully condensed a Poison Soul Core. With his talent, becoming a Title Douluo is no problem at all, and he will be a great help to the Spirit Hall in the future.

Furthermore, his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is likely to be quite talented and worth nurturing.

"I understand," Bibi Dong said weakly.

"By the way, how is the establishment of the Tang Clan by Chuan'er progressing?" Su Mo asked curiously.

Bibi Dong said, "Everything is going smoothly and we're on the right track now. We've recently produced a batch of hidden weapons, and they're working quite well. I plan to increase production and equip the Spirit Hall's army as soon as possible. Then, we can launch a war of unification."

“Okay, go ahead and do it. I’ll support you wholeheartedly,” Su Mo said.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm very tired right now and want to rest for a while," Bibi Dong said.

"Go to sleep." Su Mo patted Bibi Dong and Xue Di's heads at the same time.

The two women closed their eyes and quickly fell asleep.

……

a few days later.

Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Bo rode at breakneck speed and finally returned, covered in dust from the journey.

"Hey...that's Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan, who was swinging on the swing in the yard, saw Dugu Bo and immediately jumped off the swing and ran over happily.

Dugu Bo's weariness vanished instantly. He smiled, squatted down, and caught Dugu Yan as she pounced on him.

"Yanyan, slow down, be careful not to fall."

"I understand." Dugu Yan nodded, then asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why has your hair turned black? Also, I feel that you look much younger than you. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

“Yanyan, you are still young. There are some things that Grandpa will tell you when you grow up.”

"Alright." Dugu Yan nodded obediently, then changed the subject, "By the way, Grandpa, did you go to Wuhun City these past few days? Did you see that big brother? And did you find what you were looking for?"

Dugu Bo patiently replied, "Yes, Grandpa went to Wuhun City, met the older brother you mentioned, and got what he wanted. That's why Grandpa has changed so much."

"That's great! Grandpa, does that mean you won't leave home so often anymore? And you'll be able to stay with Yan Yan all the time?" Dugu Yan asked expectantly.

"Yes, Grandpa will be able to spend more time with Yanyan from now on."

"Yay! That's great!" Dugu Yan cheered excitedly in Dugu Bo's arms.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was also very happy to see his granddaughter so happy.

He knew that Dugu Yan had lost her mother since birth, and her father's condition had been deteriorating, with him almost always bedridden in recent years. He himself was often away from home in search of an antidote, which meant that Dugu Yan had lacked love and companionship since childhood.

Dugu Bo felt guilty about this, but thankfully, things are getting better now. Dugu Yan will no longer lose her father, and he can spend more time with his granddaughter.

"Come on, Yan Yan, Grandpa will take you to see your father."

Dugu Bo carried Dugu Yan and walked inside.

Before long, Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan to Dugu Xin's room.

Dugu Bo put down Dugu Yan and then waved the servants away.

"Dad, are you alright?" Dugu Yan rushed to the bedside, took Dugu Xin's hand, and choked out.

Dugu Yan was still young and didn't know what was wrong with Dugu Xin. She only knew that her father was in a bad state and looked like he was in great pain every day.

Chapter 262 The Dugu Family Relocates

Dugu Xin raised his hand and patted Dugu Yan's little head, forcing a smile as he gently comforted her, "Yan Yan, be good, Daddy's fine, don't cry."

Dugu Yan wiped away her tears: "Yes, Yan Yan, don't cry. Daddy, you must get better soon. Yan Yan still wants to play with Daddy."

Just then, Dugu Bo, who was behind Dugu Yan, spoke up: "Yan Yan, don't worry, with Grandpa here, your father will be fine."

Dugu Xin then noticed the change in Dugu Bo and exclaimed in surprise, "Dad? You look younger! Your hair has turned black too!"

Dugu Bo did not answer immediately, but instead had the maid waiting outside the door take Dugu Yan away.

Dugu Bo then said with emotion, "Xin'er, your father has met a benefactor. The problem that has plagued our Dugu family for generations is finally hopeful for a solution."

Dugu Xin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Dad, you...you're telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, my current changes are the best proof." Dugu Bo smiled.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin took another closer look at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo now had a rosy complexion and looked radiant; he didn't look like someone who had been poisoned at all.

"Great! Great! That's wonderful! Cough...cough..."

Dugu Xin was extremely excited, but then he suddenly coughed a few times.

"Xin'er, don't get agitated," Dugu Bo quickly said.

He has finally found a way to prevent the backlash from the venom of the Jade Scale Snake.

He was really afraid that Dugu Xin would kick the bucket in a moment of excitement.
