"You... how did you know!?"
Li Yu looked at Dugu Bo, who appeared stunned, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
Dugu Bo affliction was something that no one knew about, and even when Xiao Sanzi helped him heal, only a handful of people were aware of it.
Qian Renxue wasn't particularly close to Dugu Bo, so it was natural that she didn't know.
Moreover, Dugu Bo, with his "Poison Douluo" title, would never let anyone know that he had been harmed by his own poison!
This was even more secretive.
Logically speaking, even if Li Yu knew, for the sake of his own safety, he shouldn't have revealed it.
But now, the situation had changed!
The Fang of Absorption could convert toxins into soul power, thus enhancing his strength.
He could say that "toxin" had become his experience package!
So naturally, he needed to pay more attention to it!
And where was the largest experience package?
Right in front of him: Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo!
Aside from the poison inside his body, considering Dugu Bo research on poisons, it was impossible for him not to have any rare toxins stored!
Thus, Li Yu made the decision.
He directly addressed Dugu Bo condition.
As for whether Dugu Bo would take action after hearing it...
Li Yu had thought about it.
But given his current identity, Dugu Bo wouldn't dare harm him easily.
And considering his internal poisoning, and his concern for his granddaughter, Dugu Bo would never pass up the chance to heal himself and his granddaughter!
So, Li Yu was confident that even if he revealed this, he wouldn't be in danger.
After all, it was all about "eating Dugu Bo alive"!
As for Qian Renxue...
If he could use this opportunity to win over Dugu Bo, Qian Renxue would probably thank him, so he didn't care about anything else.
And as Li Yu had thought.
At this moment, after hearing Li Yu analysis and Dugu Bo confirmation, Qian Renxue gaze toward Li Yu was filled with even more curiosity.
She clearly didn't suspect Li Yu identity.
Or perhaps, after bringing Li Yu back, they had already investigated him thoroughly.
But what she could anticipate was this:
Either they couldn't find anything on him, or "System" had already patched things up.
Li Yu was confident it was the latter, though he didn't ask "System"—and even if he did, "System" wouldn't give an answer.
But from Qian Renxue attitude toward him, it was clear enough.
He was definitely "clean."
"What matters is not how I know, but..."
Li Yu gaze became serious as he looked at Dugu Bo. "I can help you solve this!"
"What!?"
Dugu Bo trembled at Li Yu words.
With his level as a Title Douluo, hearing the words "I can help you solve this" actually made his mind tremble slightly.
He had been suffering from this toxin for so long, enduring pain every day!
Though he had the power of a Title Douluo, every day felt like he was slowly approaching the final edge of death.
Every day was facing death, with all his strength but no way to solve the problem.
This pain was suffocating and despairing!
But if this scythe of death was only aimed at him, it would be one thing. At his age, he truly had lived enough.
But what about his granddaughter, Dugu Bo?
In an instant, his eyes even began to tear up, as if he were about to cry.
But quickly, his rationality returned.
His aura suddenly exploded, and before Li Yu and Qian Renxue could react, it pressed down on them!
"Little demon, don't think just because you have some beauty, you can speak nonsense. Do you know the cost of deceiving me?"
Dugu Bo finally revealed the majesty of a Title Douluo.
Nine soul rings rose from his feet, and the enormous Bi Lin Snake appeared silently behind him, its huge eyes glaring intently at Li Yu.
"Your Majesty!"
Qian Renxue, being close to Soul Saint level and with the Six-Winged Angel as her divine martial soul, was not so easily overwhelmed by this pressure.
The moment Dugu Bo pressure descended, she raised a faint golden shield, protecting both herself and Li Yu inside it.
While dissatisfied with Dugu Bo sudden action, Qian Renxue was also surprised.
She realized that Dugu Bo internal poison had probably tortured him for a long time.
Otherwise, as a Title Douluo, even if his secret was exposed, he shouldn't be so out of control in front of her, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire.
After all, Dugu Bo, no matter how strong, could not defy the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, his granddaughter, Dugu Bo, was still at the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy!
At the same time, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Such a powerful poison, even Dugu Bo, who was well-versed in toxins, couldn't solve it—could Li Yu, a newly promoted third-ring Soul King, really fix it?
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo saw that Qian Renxue could resist his pressure and was surprised at her ability to withstand it, but he removed his aura.
However, his eyes still remained fixed on the sweat-drenched Li Yu.
Clearly, he wouldn't let this go easily.
"Your Majesty..."
Qian Renxue, seeing that things were getting out of hand, wanted to defend Li Yu and avoid any danger.
She also signaled Li Yu behind her back, urging him to soften and admit his mistake.
But before she could say anything, Qian Renxue froze.
The hand she had behind her back was now firmly held by a soft hand!
Li Yu voice rang out, dripping with charm: "If I deceived you, Senior, don't you want to try and see for yourself?"
Qian Renxue eyes narrowed, and her heart wavered.
Could it be... that Li Yu could really solve the poison that even a Title Douluo couldn't?
Dugu Bo squinted his eyes, examining Li Yu for a long moment. Seeing that Li Yu wasn't joking, he then said faintly: "Fine, I'll give you a chance!"
After a pause, his tone shifted: "But if you can't solve it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, Dugu Bo sat down right there.
He adopted an attitude that seemed to say he was willing to be taken advantage of, clearly ignoring his Title Douluo status in order to solve the poison inside his body.
But seeing this, Li Yu shook his head slightly.
Then, he smiled faintly: "Senior, as a Title Douluo, are you really hoping to get it for free?"
The smile was full of charm.
Even Qian Renxue was stunned, but Dugu Bo couldn't stay calm anymore.
You damn brat, I've already killed your snake, absorbed the soul ring, and this still isn't enough payment?
And now you're saying I'm getting it for free?
Unbelievable!
He spoke angrily, "The soul ring you just absorbed came from the soul beast I cultivated!"
