Chapter 55 Lu Ming: I can save you, but the price... Dugu Yan's alluring charm!
"Yes, that's me."
Dugu Yan quickly responded and bowed deeply to Lu Ming, a gesture of utmost respect.
With her movements, the already loose bath towel became even more precarious.
The breathtakingly deep cleavage on her chest was displayed before Lu Ming's eyes without reservation.
"Thank you so much for the medicine you gave me last time, which helped me suppress the poison in my body. I will never forget this kindness."
Lu Ming's gaze lingered on her for a moment before shifting away.
He said in a calm tone, "It was nothing."
"I can help you completely eradicate the toxins from your body, but I want you..."
He paused deliberately at this point, his gaze sweeping over Dugu Yan once more.
It must be said that Dugu Yan is indeed very well-endowed.
She has a stunning figure, gorgeous looks, and a captivating aura unique to poisonous creatures.
Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
It's here!
She knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
To eradicate this deadly poison that even titled Douluo are helpless against, one must inevitably pay a price.
And what the other party wants... is themselves.
However, instead of feeling resistant, she felt a surge of joy.
The man before me is mysterious and unpredictable, with unfathomable strength. Judging from his physique and voice, he is not very old. He must be an extraordinary man of unparalleled talent and elegance.
To become such a strong woman is something many people dream of.
What's more, this could save his own life.
If she doesn't get the antidote, she'll live for at most another ten years before being killed by the poison from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King within her body.
She could tell which was more important and which was less important.
"I agree!"
Dugu Yan raised her head, her emerald green eyes fixed on Lu Ming, a resolute look on her face.
"I will agree to whatever conditions the adults set!"
Having said that, she seemed to have made up her mind, her delicate hand trembling as she reached for the belt around her waist where the bath towel was tied.
With just a gentle pull, this only covering will slip off.
However, just as she was about to untie the ribbon, Lu Ming suddenly spoke up.
"what you do?"
Lu Ming's voice carried a hint of surprise.
He realized that the woman seemed to have misunderstood him.
Dugu Yan froze, looked up, and stared at him blankly.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she asked softly, "My lord...don't you want me?"
Lu Ming was speechless upon hearing this.
"Let me finish."
He cleared his throat and continued, "I want your grandfather's herb garden in Sunset Forest."
"..."
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Dugu Yan froze on the spot, her face, already flushed with shyness, turning even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed.
Awkward!
Unbelievable embarrassment!
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now.
I... I actually misunderstood!
...
A moment later, in the reception room.
Dugu Yan had changed into a purple silk nightgown, which still accentuated her graceful figure, but was much more appropriate than the bath towel she had worn earlier.
She poured Lu Ming a cup of tea, somewhat avoiding his eyes, and whispered:
"Sir, I have already notified Grandpa in a special way. He is on his way back. Please wait a moment."
"Um."
Lu Ming nodded lightly, picked up his teacup, but did not drink it.
He was calculating in his mind how to maximize the value of the immortal herbs he obtained from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
The exquisite tulip, the eight-cornered ice grass, the fiery apricot blossom... these things are enough to give his strength, as well as the overall strength of the Blue Tyrant team, a qualitative leap.
Dugu Yan sat opposite him, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity, constantly stealing glances at him.
What is the background of this man?
How did he know about his grandfather's secret medicinal herb garden, which even he himself didn't know about?
Just as she was lost in thought, an old yet loud voice boomed from outside the mansion like thunder.
"Yanyan, what do you want with Grandpa so late?!"
Before the words were even finished, a green figure appeared like a ghost at the entrance to the reception room.
The newcomer had long, dark green hair and a withered face, but his eyes shone with a terrifying light. He was none other than the titled Douluo, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Behind him followed a tall, handsome young man with blue hair.
As soon as the young man entered the room, his gaze immediately locked onto Dugu Yan.
But when he saw the man wearing a strange mask opposite Dugu Yan, his expression changed instantly.
A man and a woman, alone in a room, and Yan Yan was even wearing a bathrobe...
A strong feeling of jealousy instantly welled up in Yu Tianheng's heart.
He strode forward, his tone questioning, and asked, "Yan Yan, who is he?"
He felt as if something he cherished had been stolen.
He had been pursuing Dugu Yan for a long time, but she had never accepted his confession.
Now, however, he witnessed this scene.
Upon hearing his affectionate address, Dugu Yan's face, already somewhat displeased from the earlier embarrassment, instantly turned frosty.
"Yu Tianheng!"
Her voice suddenly turned cold, "How many times have I told you, call me by my name, Dugu Yan!"
"Besides, this is my benefactor, so show him some respect!"
Yu Tianheng was stunned by her words and immediately realized that he had misunderstood.
It turns out he was my benefactor.
He forced an apologetic smile and quickly cupped his hands in apology to Lu Ming, saying, "I'm sorry, my friend, I was being presumptuous."
However, Dugu Yan did not give him any way out.
She stood up and directly told them to leave.
"Yu Tianheng, please don't come to my house to see me anymore. It will cause misunderstandings."
"I..."
Yu Tianheng wanted to say something more, but seeing Dugu Yan's uncompromising gaze, he could only shut his mouth in frustration and leave the reception room with a face full of resentment.
After driving Yu Tianheng away, Dugu Yan sat down again.
Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, had seen everything. His experienced eyes swept over Lu Ming, and he frowned as he asked, "Yan Yan, what exactly happened?"
"grandfather,"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, pointed at Lu Ming and said, "Last time I was poisoned and almost lost my life, it was this gentleman who gave me the herbs that saved my life."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was visibly shaken.
"The herbs from last time... were actually prepared by him?"
A storm raged within him.
With just a dose of inexpensive herbal medicine, he was able to suppress the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison in Yan Yan's body, which even he was helpless against.
You should know that in order to cure his granddaughter's poison, he searched almost the entire continent and consulted countless famous doctors and pharmacists, but to no avail.
