Chapter 23:Tit for Tat
After returning to his hotel room, he took a quick shower, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
…
The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight shone on Liu Yanyang's face. He slowly opened his eyes from his sleep and looked out the window at the sun.
After stretching his limbs briefly, he stood up, washed up, and changed back into his black robe. After taking a few deep breaths, he walked out to Dugu Bo's mansion.
At the gate, after the doorman announced his arrival, Liu Yanyang entered alone, retracing his steps from yesterday and arriving at the Dugu family's living room.
Dugu Bo, seated in the main seat, was looking at Liu Yanyang with a playful expression, his dark green eyes radiating an enchanting light.
Liu Yanyang bowed slightly and said, "I am honored to see you again, Your Majesty."
He then sat down in the chair across from Dugu Bo and sipped his tea from the table.
Dugu Bo, unmoved, watched Liu Yanyang quietly, like a venomous snake stalking its prey.
"I wonder if Your Majesty enjoyed yesterday? Did you sleep well?" Liu Yanyang asked calmly.
Dugu Bo found Liu Yanyang's calm expression and composed demeanor increasingly amusing, and immediately spoke up.
"I wasn't happy at first. I was craving fish yesterday, and finally a big one showed up. But it slipped away!"
"Oh! Really? So Your Majesty is happy now!"
"Of course. Who would have thought a big fish would be so foolish as to show up a second time?"
"So, what about now?" Liu Yanyang's lips curled slightly, and he disabled the color-changing spirit ring of "Chengying." The purple light on "Chengying" dissipated.
Dugu Bo was about to say something when he suddenly realized that his mental power could accurately detect Liu Yanyang.
Then, a look of surprise crossed his face, and his voice trembled.
"12 years old, peak level 38!"
"Why? Your Majesty is surprised! I guess I can finally get Your Majesty to take this big fish of mine seriously!" Liu Yanyang said calmly.
Dugu Bo came back to his senses and coughed lightly.
"I must admit that your talent is unprecedented, unrivaled in the world."
His eyes suddenly grew sharp.
"But so what? In front of me, you're nothing more than an ant. You must know, I hold dead geniuses in the least contempt!"
"Yes! Your Majesty is right!"
"But hasn't Your Majesty heard that 'all the hustle and bustle of the world is driven by profit?'" Liu Yanyang stared at Dugu Bo and asked.
"Oh? You have something else that could tempt me?" Dugu Bo looked at Liu Yanyang with amusement.
"An antidote!"
"Bang!" Liu Yanyang's chair shattered. The overwhelming pressure of the soul power around him forced his knees to bend slightly, and he rested his hands on his knees, unable to lift his head.
Dugu Bo's soul power erupted, surging throughout his body, enveloping Liu Yanyang as he spoke grimly.
"Do you really think that just because I've chatted with you for a few minutes, I won't dare to kill you?"
The soul power pressure intensified, forcing Liu Yanyang to summon his spirit to resist. Three soul rings, one yellow and two purple, suddenly lit up.
Dugu Bo was stunned. "Absorbing soul rings of higher... higher levels!"
Liu Yanyang took advantage of this opportunity and, despite the overwhelming pressure, stepped towards Dugu Bo.
He reached him, staring down at him with a firm gaze, each word ringing with a powerful voice.
"Your Majesty, will you kill me? Don't you know it?"
"I'm the only one who can save Your Majesty's family now. You can only rely on me!"
The deafening voice made Dugu Bo panic. He looked up at Liu Yanyang and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Liu Yanyang.
"Senior, you don't think Yu Tianheng is a trustworthy person, do you?"
"If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family knew that their future young patriarch's wife was poisoned, what do you think would happen?"
"If one day Your Majesty passed away, and Miss Dugu Yan was left alone in this world, what do you think Yu Tianheng would do for the future and continuation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to rely on yourself than on others!"
"Alas..." Dugu Bo came to his senses, sighed, stood up, walked to the door, and looked up at the sky, his back seemed lonely and hunched.
"What do you want from me?"
"Junior, I want to make friends with you," Liu Yanyang said calmly.
Dugu Bo sneered, shook his head, and said nothing more.
"Okay! He's shallow. In the adult world, they only talk about interests, not feelings! Not to mention someone like Dugu Bo who is naturally eccentric." Liu Yanyang complained in his heart.
For now, it is better to rely on interests to maintain the relationship between the two parties, and then use sincerity to impress Dugu Bo!
"I heard that Your Majesty has a medicine garden with many precious medicinal herbs. I will take half of them." Liu Yanyang said.
Dugu Bo turned and stared at Liu Yanyang, curious about how he knew about his medicine garden, but thinking that with Liu Yanyang's ability, he must have been thoroughly investigated.
He said calmly, "Yes, but how confident are you that you can cure us, grandfather and grandson?"
"I'm 100% sure. Your Majesty would probably kill me right now."
"Let me be frank with you, Miss Dugu Yan. I'm absolutely sure I can cure you. As for you, Your Majesty, the poison has been there for too long, and it's ingrained into your bones. I can't guarantee a cure, but I can certainly treat most snake venoms," Liu Yanyang said calmly.
"As long as I can cure Yanyan," Dugu Bo said calmly. As for himself, he knew his own condition well and had no intention of forcing anyone.
"Then, Your Majesty, please take me to your herb garden. The treatment will require some precious herbs!"
Dugu Bo nodded and headed into the courtyard, with Liu Yanyang following closely behind.
Once inside, Liu Yanyang was curious why Dugu Bo had stopped there. Hadn't they agreed to go to the herb garden?
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed the back of his collar. Before Liu Yanyang could react, he soared into the air.
Dugu Bo's soul power exploded, and he quickly flew towards the Sunset Forest while carrying Liu Yanyang.
Sunset Forest...
It was very close from Heaven Dou City to Sunset Forest. Sunset Forest could be said to be the place where soul masters from most cities near Heaven Dou City hunted soul beasts.
In less than an hour, Dugu Bo had already flown to the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
Liu Yanyang, who was being carried, said a little depressedly, "Your Majesty, can't you change to a more comfortable position!"
Dugu Bo snorted lightly, and his aura burst out, showing the aura and pressure of a Titled Douluo.
He rushed directly into the depths of Sunset Forest. The ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts on the periphery fled frantically, while the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts inside, sensing such a powerful aura, only let out a few unwilling growls.
He was unstoppable along the way, and before long, Dugu Bo stopped on a hill.
