Diary System—Chapter 106: Asking for Help Should Be Done with the Attitude of Asking for Help!
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo in the void felt slightly relieved. His eyes were full of shock and admiration as he looked at Dai Yichen.
This was not his power, yet he could still control it so finely, which was truly remarkable.
The level of control over soul power displayed by a soul grandmaster is indeed somewhat terrifying.
Of course, one thing is one thing; Dugu Bo still doesn't think Dai Yichen has a solution to his illness—at least not now.
But the next moment, Dai Yichen's words shocked him.
Dai Yichen walked towards Dugu Yan calmly and said, "You lost. There is one more thing I need to tell you: your current cultivation speed is a little too fast, which will accelerate the outbreak of toxins in your body."
"What?" Dugu Yan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" (acting)
Dai Yichen waved his hand. "Didn't your grandfather advise you to practice slower? Your body has already given you a signal: purple hair, green eyes. You are being eroded by your martial soul.
To be honest, it is a miracle that your grandfather was promoted to Title Douluo. If it were anyone else, they would probably be dead."
Dugu Yan laughed inwardly but pretended to be confused on the surface. "My grandfather seems to have mentioned something like that, but do you have any evidence?"
Dai Yichen smiled. "Your grandfather knows this best. Why don't you go back and ask him?"
"No need to ask; I'm here. Boy, since you can see that Yanyan is poisoned, do you have a solution?" an old voice came from the void.
The next moment, Dai Yichen saw an old man with green hair and gloomy eyes appear next to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo!
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Dugu Yan was surprised by the arrival of her grandfather.
Dugu Bo touched Dugu Yan's head and laughed. "I noticed you haven't come back yet, so I was a little worried and came to see you. I just happened to witness this scene. Yanyan, you said you would go back to eat after school."
Dugu Yan's face turned a little embarrassed; her mind had been so preoccupied with Dai Yichen's affairs that she had forgotten about it.
Then Dugu Bo turned to look at Dai Yichen. Just as he was about to say something, he felt his sleeves being tugged. The corners of his mouth twitched as he remembered what his granddaughter had advised him: to not be overbearing and to request help with the attitude of someone seeking assistance.
Dugu Bo gazed at Dai Yichen, trying to soften his tone as much as possible. "I want to ask you since you can see that Yanyan is poisoned, is there a solution? No one in the Heaven Dou Empire can see that she is poisoned, and I have never told anyone. If you can help my granddaughter, I owe you a favor!"
Dugu Bo's words came out a little stiffly. He was used to being in a position of authority and truly struggled to beg for help.
Even when facing the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he hadn't shown any fear.
This was his greatest sincerity.
It didn't matter to him personally; after all, the poisoning was severe, and it was likely impossible to save him. However, his granddaughter was still young, and her poisoning was less advanced, so there might be hope. Even if this hope was only one in a thousand—or even one in ten thousand—he was willing to try!
He was prepared to serve the Star Luo Imperial family or Dai Yichen, as long as he could save his granddaughter!
He was already dead and had only a few years left to live.
However, he then heard Dai Yichen say, "Senior Dugu Bo, I can't cure your disease for the time being, but I can help you feel better. At least you won't have to suffer from the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's martial soul every day. I have several ways to treat your illness, but I am not strong enough right now."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up at this. He hadn't expected Dai Yichen to have more than one method.
Quickly, he asked, "Can you tell me?"
At that moment, Dugu Bo felt suspicious. Was the dream his granddaughter had truly so magical? Did Dai Yichen know how to treat it?
But Dai Yichen was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he asked back, "Then please answer me a question first, Senior Dugu Bo. How do you suppress your poison? In my opinion, your poison has penetrated your bone marrow. As a Title Douluo, if it attacks, you will die without special means. It is impossible to suppress it with your ability."
Dugu Bo was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Dai Yichen to know this, which increased his trust in him.
Ordinary people certainly wouldn't know this. This was only the second time Dai Yichen had met him, yet he could state it so accurately; there must be something more to him.
He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should disclose this information.
"Grandpa," Dugu Yan said as she shook Dugu Bo's arm in a slightly coquettish manner, giving him a look.
Dugu Bo sighed and decided to relent. That place was known to certain people; as long as Yanyan could be saved, it didn't matter.
Of course, the main reason behind his decision was that he was a Title Douluo and was not afraid that Dai Yichen would play any tricks.
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Bo said, "You are right. I found a treasure land in the Sunset Forest many years ago. The environment there can help me suppress the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison. It is because of this that I could become a Title Douluo."
Dai Yichen smiled inwardly and slowly continued, "Are there any herbs in that place? Since the environment can help you suppress the poison, it means there is a high possibility that there are herbs that can also aid in suppressing it."
Dugu Bo nodded. "Yes, there are, but I don't know most of them, and you may not know them either," he said, his face anxious.
As a Poison Douluo, admitting that there are herbs in this world he doesn't know was a bit embarrassing.
"Okay, then I'll prepare during this period. You take me to the Sunset Forest in three months. I'll also prepare during these three months; maybe you can recover faster than Dugu Yan."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow: ???
He was already terminally ill, yet Dai Yichen claimed that he could recover faster than Yanyan. Wasn't that a bit of a reversal of the Heavenly Dao?
Although he asked clearly, Dai Yichen didn't seem inclined to explain and thought about letting it go. But why wait until three months later?
"Why three months later? If you want to go, I can take you there in the next few days." Dugu Bo's tone was a bit anxious. Naturally, the sooner, the better. His granddaughter was already at level 29 and would soon become a Soul Elder. By then, the poison would become even more potent.
