Chapter 60 Dugu Bo's Request: Treat Dugu Xin?
Dugu Bo glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, then at Bibi Dong, who was in a great mood.
Finally, he steeled himself, stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Saint..."
"I... I have a favor to ask."
Bibi Dong paused slightly as she wiped Lan Yue's cheek with her fingers.
Turning her head, her eyes, which had been full of doting affection, instantly turned cold and indifferent.
"Oh?
"What brings you here, Senior Dugu?"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath.
Although he was a titled Douluo, he was no match for these people in front of him.
Especially after witnessing Lan Yue's miraculous abilities, he adopted a very humble attitude.
"To be honest, my good-for-nothing son is currently in Heaven Dou City."
When his son was mentioned, a rare hint of fatherly worry and urgency appeared in Dugu Bo's usually cold, emerald-green eyes:
"My son has long suffered from the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent King's venom. Now the poison has seeped into his bone marrow, and his life is hanging by a thread..."
"Previously, I was helpless and could only watch him suffer."
"But now, thanks to His Highness the Saint's guidance, we have this method of detoxification."
"I was thinking... would Your Highness please accompany me to Heaven Dou City first?"
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he lowered his head deeply, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and even his expression carried a hint of pleading:
"I know this move was somewhat abrupt and delayed my journey back to Spirit Hall."
"But we are desperate to save our son, and we hope that Your Highness the Saintess and Your Highness the Saint will grant our request!"
"As long as my son's life can be saved, my life will belong to Spirit Hall from now on!"
"It is His Highness the Saint!"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Bibi Dong neither immediately agreed nor refused.
She merely raised an eyebrow slightly, unmoved by Dugu Bo's loyalty. Instead, she immediately turned her head and cast her gaze upon Lan Yue beside her.
That look was very clear:
Whether you go or not is up to you.
In Bibi Dong's heart, nothing was more important than a single sentence from her own little Yueyue, not even Dugu Bo's son or Heaven Dou City.
If Lan Yue wanted to go back to Spirit Hall to rest, she wouldn't detour even if the Heavenly King himself came.
Lan Yue blinked slightly.
"Yes, of course I'll go."
Lan Yue quickly made a decision in his mind.
In the original novel, Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin, died young, leaving Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo to depend on each other for survival.
This was also the greatest pain of Dugu Bo's life.
Now that Dugu Bo had been subdued, it was only natural to do him this favor.
Saving Dugu Xin would not only make Dugu Bo completely devoted to serving Spirit Hall.
More importantly, Heaven Dou City, as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, was also a crucial point in the plot.
Going there for a stroll might lead to something unexpected.
Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of person Dugu Xin, who was supposed to die from poisoning, really was.
Having understood the meaning in Lan Yue's eyes, Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly. She turned back to look at Dugu Bo and said calmly:
"Since Little Yueyue has no objection, then we will do as you say."
"Perfect timing, it's been a long time since I've visited Heaven Dou City."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's agreement, Dugu Bo was overjoyed, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put at ease.
He was so excited that his beard trembled, and he bowed deeply once more:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"I will never forget this kindness and virtue!"
Bibi Dong waved her hand casually, not caring about these formalities.
She grabbed Lan Yue's small hand, turned, and walked towards the edge of the forest, her voice clear and crisp:
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
"Elder Gui, Elder Yue, let's go."
"Target: Heaven Dou City!"
Heaven Dou City.
Led by Dugu Bo, the group arrived at the Dugu residence.
Inside the mansion, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
As soon as they stepped into the inner courtyard, a strong smell of medicine hit them, mixed with a faint, sweet and pungent poisonous odor.
"This way, please. It's inside."
Dugu Bo hurried along, his face filled with anxiety.
Pushing open the tightly closed door, one could see a gaunt-faced middle-aged man lying on the large bed.
He was Dugu Bo's only son, Dugu Xin.
Despite possessing the cultivation level of a Soul King, Dugu Xin was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
His skin had an eerie bluish-purple hue, and his breathing was weak and rapid.
His brows were furrowed with lingering pain, clearly indicating that he was suffering maddened by the venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
"Xin'er..."
Seeing his son like this, Dugu Bo's eyes reddened, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But he knew this was not the time for sadness; saving lives was the priority!
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and turned to look at Lan Yue behind him.
Seeing Lan Yue nod slightly in acknowledgment, he no longer hesitated. He flipped his hand, and a soul bone appeared in his palm.
Ninety-thousand-year Medusa's left arm bone!
Such a treasure, if left in the outside world, would be enough to cause a bloodbath throughout the entire Soul Master world.
But in Dugu Bo's eyes, its only value at this moment was to save his son's life.
"Xin'er, bear with it, your father will heal the poison for you right away!"
Dugu Bo let out a deep shout, his soul power surging, guiding the precious soul bone to slowly adhere to Dugu Xin's left arm.
As the soul bone came into contact with the body, a surge of immense energy instantly flowed into Dugu Xin's body.
Dugu Xin, who was originally unconscious, suddenly trembled and let out a painful groan.
"Follow His Highness's method, draw the poison into the bone!"
Dugu Bo dared not be careless, and he unleashed his soul power without reservation, carefully protecting Dugu Xin's heart meridian.
At the same time, following the method previously taught by Lan Yue, he precisely controlled the rampant Jade Phosphor Serpent venom within Dugu Xin's body.
Under Dugu Bo's guidance, wisps of dark green poisonous gas began to peel away from Dugu Xin's limbs and bones.
Following the meridians, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, it frantically converged towards the newly fused Medusa left arm bone.
This ninety-thousand-year Medusa soul bone inherently possessed extremely potent poison properties, and at this moment it became the perfect container for the poison.
As the toxins continued to be injected, the color of the originally crystal-clear left arm bone became increasingly deep and eerie.
The fluctuations it emitted became increasingly terrifying, but the bluish-purple tinge on Dugu Xin's face was fading at a visible speed.
A full hour passed.
Even after the last bit of poison that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow was forced into the left arm bone, Dugu Bo did not stop.
He once again mobilized his soul power, channeling it through Dugu Xin's meridians, which had long been weakened by the toxins, to nourish, clear, and repair them.
"Call—"
It wasn't until he confirmed that there were no more toxins in Dugu Xin's body and that his meridians had stabilized that Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his soul power.
On the bed, Dugu Xin's previously rapid breathing became steady and long.
The sickly bluish-purple discoloration on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a long-lost rosy glow.
Although his body was still weak and he needed a long period of recuperation, the deathly aura that had clung to him for many years had completely dissipated!
