That same day, after concluding his conversation with Qian Renjue, Qian Renxue hurriedly returned to Heaven Dou City with Snake Spear Douluo.
The matter of the Universal Cosmos Great Barrier required her personal attention.
Having harvested the Immortal Herbs, Qian Renjue no longer needed to act himself. He instructed Thorn Porcupine:
"Elder Thorn Porcupine, I'll leave the task of organizing these herbs to you."
"Rest assured, Young Master Jue. Your subordinate will handle it properly," Thorn Porcupine replied respectfully.
Qian Renjue nodded, gathered some herbs, and headed toward the distant wooden cabin.
Dugu Xin's Snake Venom needed to be properly treated.
"Yanyan, bring me the mortar and pestle."
"Yes!"
A crisp response rang out.
Dugu Yan, who had been brewing medicine for Dugu Xin, immediately stood up.
She retrieved the mortar and pestle hanging under the eaves and hurried over to Qian Renjue, presenting it with both hands.
A faint smile played on her lips as she whispered, "Your Highness, Yanyan has broken through to level twenty."
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Congratulations. I'll have Sister Lingyuan hunt a soul beast for you later."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Dugu Yan stood beside him, her expression respectful, awaiting his instructions.
The fear had completely vanished from her delicate face.
"Is Your Highness thirsty?"
Qian Renjue couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He tossed the freshly picked medicinal herbs into the mortar and then sliced a deep gash into his finger.
Under the pressure of his Soul Power, crimson blood rapidly splattered onto the herbs.
"Ah!"
Dugu Yan gasped and rushed forward, trying to cover the wound.
But Qian Renjue raised a hand to stop her.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Dugu Yan asked urgently.
"Yanyan, I'm trying to—"
"Your Highness!"
Before Qian Renjue could finish explaining, Spirit Vulture Douluo swiftly appeared, drawn by the commotion. Her pupils narrowed as she took in the pool of blood.
"Your Highness, why are you bleeding so much?!"
*Whoosh!*
Spirit Vulture Douluo immediately lunged forward, seizing Qian Renjue's arm to staunch the flow of blood from the wound.
"Sister Lingyuan, after consuming the Immortal Herb, my blood can neutralize the toxins in Dugu Xin's body without affecting his cultivation," Qian Renjue explained helplessly.
Dugu Xin had already taken a Toxin Dissolving Pill, which had partially transferred the toxins from his vital organs. However, the overall toxicity in his body remained unchanged and was still slowly accumulating.
Qian Renjue's blood, infused with the essence of both Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, offered the perfect solution. Otherwise, Dugu Xin wouldn't survive long enough to obtain a Soul Bone.
Ling Yuan gazed at the crimson liquid in the mortar, her delicate eyebrows arching slightly, a hint of reproach in her eyes.
"Isn't this a bit much?"
"We can't stay long, so we need to prepare extra." Qian Renjue replied, his smile unwavering.
"Your Highness..."
Dugu Yan froze slightly at Qian Renjue's words.
Staring at the vivid red blood and Qian Renjue's nonchalant smile, Dugu Yan felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart.
Images flashed through her mind: from her initial desperate pleas on her knees to her current act of bloodletting to detoxify him.
In Qian Renjue's presence, the haughty dignity befitting the eldest daughter of the Dugu Clan seemed utterly irrelevant.
"Sister Lingyuan, just a little more will do," Qian Renjue said, but before he could finish, the System's electronic voice chimed in his mind.
Congratulations, Host! You have successfully transmitted great love for the first time! (Target: Dugu Yan)
Reward: Jade Phosphor Poison Art!
Jade Phosphor Poison Art: Grants control over poison, the ability to condense it, and immunity to it. Upon reaching the Titled Douluo realm, one can condense a Lifebound Poison Pill!
"..."
Qian Renjue paused, startled. A soft, submissive voice reached his ears.
"Your Highness, thank you."
"Hmm?" Qian Renjue turned to see Dugu Yan kneeling before him, clutching his hand.
"Your Highness, Yan Nu promises to serve you wholeheartedly and obey your every command from now on."
Dugu Yan bit her rosy lip, clutching Qian Renjue's hand tightly, her voice unwavering.
As the eldest daughter of the Dugu Clan, she had only now willingly chosen to become Qian Renjue's personal attendant.
Whether as a personal attendant, a bed-warming maid, or some other plaything, she was willing to stay by Qian Renjue's side.
Recalling the warmth and pleasure she felt whenever she rubbed against Qian Renjue's hand while feeding him whale jelly, Dugu Yan's face flushed crimson with embarrassment.
*It seems I was unknowingly captured by him back then,* she thought.
"Yanyan, we're family now. Isn't it only natural for me to do these things?" Qian Renjue said, both amused and exasperated, as he reached down to help Dugu Yan rise. "Get up quickly. 'Yan Nu' sounds so strange."
"Mm, Yanyan understands," Dugu Yan replied with a slight nod, slowly standing up.
Hearing the commotion, Dugu Bo naturally peeked out of his room.
Seeing the scene before him, he let out a soft sigh, paid it no further attention, and retreated back inside.
The Dugu Clan truly owed Qian Renjue a great debt.
Unlike their previous forced allegiance, he himself had long resolved to follow the Martial Soul Hall.
*If Yanyan has come to understand this, I should be happy,* he thought.
Spirit Vulture Douluo released Qian Renjue's hand.
"Your Highness, did you deliberately send Miss Xue away?"
"No, I genuinely needed to ask Elder Sister for a favor," Qian Renjue replied, shaking his head.
Still, the timing was indeed opportune. Otherwise, Qian Renxue might have refused to leave.
*I should put those thoughts aside.*
Qian Renjue accelerated the flow of blood and prepared to grind the medicinal herbs.
"Your Highness, allow me to handle this," Spirit Vulture Douluo said, reluctantly taking the herbs from his hand.
"Yanyan will apply the medicine for Your Highness," Dugu Yan said with a smile, gently taking Qian Renjue's hand.
Under the astonished gazes of Qian Renjue and Spirit Vulture Douluo, she brought his bleeding fingertip to her crimson lips and gently sucked on it.
Qian Renjue froze, his fingertip enveloped in a soft, slippery warmth—quite different from the licking of a Soft Bone Rabbit. A hint of awkwardness crept across his face.
"Yanyan, weren't you going to apply the medicine?" he asked, a little flustered.
"I'm stopping the bleeding first, Your Highness," Dugu Yan replied, releasing his finger. She pursed her lips, her beautiful face flushed with shyness as she quickly lowered her head.
*Huff...*
Seeing Qian Renjue sigh in relief, Spirit Vulture Douluo couldn't help but chuckle softly.
*If we actually brought this girl back to Martial Soul City...*
*She'd probably end up fighting with Na Na, wouldn't she?*
Soon, the minor wound that Dugu Yan had made such a fuss over was treated.
Qian Renjue sat under the eaves, quietly studying the *Jade Phosphor Poison Art* he had received as a System reward.
According to the manual, the Dugu Clan's inherent martial soul flaw might finally be resolved.
Once Dugu Xin's Snake Venom levels were reduced to a manageable, self-controllable level, he could begin cultivating this poison art.
At that point, Soul Bones would become largely unnecessary.
Qian Renjue glanced up at Dugu Yan beside him, who was deftly rolling medicinal pills.
In his mind, the girl he had met at Heaven Dou Royal Academy earlier that day flashed.
*Come to think of it, Dugu Yan is one of Ye Lingling's few friends, right?*
*It's not like I absolutely need to bring her back.*
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
