[Faced with Dugu Bo's straightforwardness, you know that if you try to hide anything or play tricks, you will face certain death.]
[But you're not afraid of it at all.]
["I can tell you!"]
[You said directly, "Not only can I tell you this secret, but I can also help resolve the poisoning issues you and Miss Dugu suffered from due to the backlash from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul."]
[As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's killing intent erupted instantly, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.]
["How did you know?" His voice was as cold as ice.]
["I could tell."]
[You pointed to your eyes: "I have some knowledge in medicine. The secret to my fourth Soul Ring being able to absorb ten thousand years' worth of energy also stems from this. It's not just a matter of physical strength, but also about mastering pharmacology and the limits of the human body."]
["If I'm not mistaken, whenever it's cloudy or rainy, you experience a tingling, itchy sensation in your ribs, which gradually spreads..."]
["At midnight, you experience sharp, needle-like pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet… right?"]
[Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted.]
[These symptoms tormented him for decades, and no one else knew about them except he himself.]
[Even his only family member, Dugu Yan didn't know.]
[He looked at you intently and said in a cold voice, "State your demands."]
[You smiled; you know you won the bet.]
[You said, "I want to live, I don't want to die."]
[Dugu Bo was not surprised by this: "If what you say is true, I, Dugu Bo, can swear to my martial soul that I will not only spare your life, but I will also grant you three requests, or rather, help you three times."]
[You smile and nod: "Then it's a deal."]
[After dealing with Dugu Bo, your gaze fell upon Dugu Yan beside him.]
[You suddenly asked, "Senior, is Miss Dugu currently engaged?"]
[Dugu Bo paused for a moment, looked at Dugu Yan and then at you, then said with a playful tone, "No, why are you asking this?"]
[You smiled and said, "If not, how about me?"]
["I'm just ten years old this year, and after absorbing my Soul Ring, my spirit power is now level forty."]
["I also possess the secret to absorbing Soul Rings beyond their limits, and am very confident I can help you detoxify."]
["Senior, do you think I'm a good match for Miss Dugu?"]
[Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan interrupted Dugu Bo before he could speak, saying, "Little Brother, although I'm not currently engaged, I have many suitors!"]
["Among them, the most powerful is the descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, named Yu Tianheng."]
["There's a high chance he'll inherit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and become the next head of the family."]
["If you ask my grandfather to betroth me to you, then you'll be targeted by Yu Tianheng and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him."]
["Little brother, are you sure you can handle it?"]
[You sneered inwardly at Dugu Yan's words, but remained outwardly composed.]
["First of all, you can call me 'little brother,' but don't use the word 'little' before it, as it can easily cause ambiguity."]
["Secondly, a true man is born into this world, and his word is his bond."]
["Now that I've made this request, I will never regret it, and there's no question of whether I can handle it."]
["As long as you agree, let the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan come at us without a second thought."]
[Your attitude is incredibly arrogant, showing absolutely no fear despite the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
["Furthermore, since you, Miss Dugu, can say this, it means you don't have much affection for Yu Tianheng. At least not right now."]
["I also have some understanding of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."]
["The Yu Tianheng you mentioned, although a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is not the most talented of this generation."]
["Among his contemporaries, Yu Tianxin, from the second branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, from the Yu Luomian lineage, is the most talented of his generation."]
["Currently, Yu Tianxin is studying at Thunder Academy."]
["This actually shows that Yu Tianxin has a greater advantage in terms of being the so-called family heir."]
["Otherwise, there would be no reason for Yu Tianxin to attend Thunder Academy, which has the background of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."]
["Instead of Yu Tianheng."]
["Furthermore, large, prestigious families have numerous rules and complex social family dynamics."]
["If you develop feelings for Yu Tianheng, you're finished. You'll never be happy for the rest of your life."]
["Furthermore, it's not necessarily true that Yu Tianheng is pursuing you, Miss Dugu."]
["You should know that Senior Dugu is all alone now, and Miss Dugu is his only family."]
["He came to the Tian Dou Royal Academy and even started pursuing you."]
["Does he genuinely like you, or is he using this opportunity to get in touch with Senior Dugu, preparing for his future competition for the position of head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"]
[Your words were deafening.]
[A look of surprise and approval appeared on Dugu Bo's face.]
[Dugu Yan's face remained smiling, showing no sign of sadness or distress.]
[Instead, she smiled slyly and said, "And what about you? You spoke so poorly of Yu Tianheng, do you really mean it?"]
["no!"]
[You decisively shook your head and said, "We've only just met today. To speak of the truth would be utter nonsense."]
["You won't believe me, and I can't bring myself to say something like that."]
["There are actually three reasons why I want Senior Dugu to betroth Miss Dugu to me."]
[You hold up three fingers.]
["First, although Senior Dugu swore an oath before, if what I said is true, I can live."]
["But please forgive my petty judgment."]
["Because I can't truly believe in vows one hundred percent."]
["So, the reason I want to pursue you, Miss Dugu, is because I don't want to die. I want to maximize my chances of survival."]
[What you said was very sincere and earnest.]
["Secondly: I was an orphan; my parents died when I was born."]
["Of course, I'm not trying to play the victim."]
["Actually, I was quite lucky. When I awakened my martial soul, I met my current teacher, Flender, who was a Soul Saint."]
