Zhu Zhuqing with a stubborn look on her face, you are no longer my brother!
Chapter 39 Zhu Zhuqing, with a stubborn look on her face, says, "You're no longer my brother!" (Please continue reading)
In response to her grandfather's question, Dugu Yan calmly replied, "When I was studying recently, I heard from others that there seem to be treasures on this continent that can enhance a Soul Master's talent. Then I was thinking, Grandpa, since you know so much about herbs, could you possibly discover some rather peculiar herbs that can help people improve their talent or increase their Soul Power?"
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "Yanyan, I don't recall any herb that can enhance a Soul Master's talent. If I did, I would have gone to find it long ago."
Dugu Yan was somewhat disappointed when she did not receive a satisfactory answer from her grandfather.
His grandfather's poison skills were among the best in the continent, and he also knew a lot about herbs and alchemy. If even he didn't know about the existence of immortal herbs, then who else on the continent, besides Dai Yichen and Tang San, would know?
"Alright then, it seems I can only cultivate even harder. I wonder when my martial soul can evolve into the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor like Grandpa's. That way, my Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom will be even stronger." Dugu Yan clenched her fists, cheering herself on.
Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he said indifferently, "Yanyan, with Grandpa here, you don't need to feel so much pressure. It doesn't really matter if your cultivation is slower. The most important thing is to be happy."
Dugu Yan didn't understand the meaning behind her grandfather's words. She thought he just didn't want her to cultivate too hard, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm not unhappy. Every time my soul power increases, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Besides, Grandpa, you are a Title Douluo. As your granddaughter, I can't let you down."
"Alright, Grandpa, Lingling is still waiting over there to go to the simulation training room with me, so I'll be going now."
Watching his granddaughter's receding figure, Dugu Bo's lips twitched, but he couldn't say anything, his eyes filled with a complex emotion that was hard to conceal.
It's laughable that he, as the Poison Douluo, considered himself to have the best poison skills on the continent, yet he couldn't even cure the poison he was afflicted with, and even caused his son and daughter-in-law to die young.
He didn't want his granddaughter to cultivate too quickly; her hair and eyes had already turned purple and green due to poisoning.
Dugu Yan was unaware that she had been poisoned, thinking it was a normal reaction to cultivating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, since she did not experience any discomfort.
Only Dugu Bo knew that this was only temporary. As her cultivation level increased, the toxicity of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent would become more and more potent. When her body could no longer neutralize it on its own, the entire poison would erupt all at once!
As for the herbs his granddaughter mentioned, he had seen them in the Sunset Forest, but there were too many herbs he didn't recognize, and he wasn't sure if any of them were the kind that could enhance cultivation talent and increase soul power, as she had said.
But based on his past experience, the more brightly colored the herb, the greater the possibility that it is poisonous.
Moreover, he didn't want his granddaughter to cultivate too quickly in the first place. What if taking these herbs caused the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom to erupt prematurely?
Could it be that some of these herbs can help them detoxify or control the toxins?
Starry Palace.
After Dai Yichen spent half a day with the Zhu sisters, Zhu Zhuyun prepared to leave with Zhu Zhuqing. They had already stayed long enough, and it wouldn't be appropriate to leave any later as the sun would be setting.
Dai Yichen escorted the two of them to the palace gate, and smiled, "Alright, I'll see you off here. Zhuqing, be good at home. I'll come to see you again in a few days."
Dai Yichen looked at the two of them, his tone reminiscent of a father's.
Zhu Zhuyun walked to Dai Yichen's side, turned her back to Zhu Zhuqing, and whispered, "Little brother Yichen, what you said today was really bold. Aren't you afraid that Zhuqing won't like you anymore?"
Dai Yichen remained calm: "Sister Zhuyun, these are my truest thoughts. Saying them now, while we're still like siblings, will minimize the harm to Zhuqing, won't it?"
At this point, Dai Yichen paused slightly, then looked at Zhu Zhuyun with a hint of aggression in his eyes and said, "Sister Zhuyun, you should think carefully about what you would do if I defeated my older brother in the future. If possible, I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Alright, that's all for now. Sister Zhuyun, if you're interested in that throne, you'd better start preparing early. Your older brother can't beat me."
After speaking, Dai Yichen walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, squatted down slightly, patted her head, and smiled: "Remember to take whale glue every day after you go back. If you run out, come and tell your brother to try to get a higher age for your first spirit ring than me!"
elder brother?
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Dai Yichen. This was the first time that Yichen had referred to himself as "brother" in front of her.
It's clearly a rather intimate term of address, so why does she feel that there's an invisible barrier between them because of this "brother"?
"Zhuqing, let's go." Zhu Zhuyun walked over and took her younger sister's hand.
She didn't know how to respond to what Dai Yichen had just said. Did she like the position of Empress?
Would you sit on it and then manage a harem of three thousand beauties?
What use is this to her? It's better for her own sister to live a good life.
Zhu Zhuqing was pulled away by Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Yichen stood up and watched the two of them leave.

Zhu Zhuqing kept glancing back, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Suddenly, she didn't know where the strength came from, but she broke free from her sister's hand and ran to Dai Yichen. Dai Yichen subconsciously opened his arms and hugged her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing nuzzled her head against Dai Yichen's chest, her voice soft and slightly coquettish: "Brother Yichen is such a scoundrel! He was so good to me before, but he said those things today. I won't back down!"
Zhu Zhuqing gently punched Dai Yichen's chest with her small hand, broke free from his embrace, raised her little face, and said with a stubborn look in her eyes, "This is the last time I'll call you 'brother' today. I won't call you 'brother' anymore, and I don't want to be your sister! Humph!"
"I'll train hard when I get back, and when I awaken my martial soul a year from now, I'll definitely surprise you!"
Without waiting for Dai Yichen to speak, she ran back to her sister's side without looking back.
The three of them were bathed in the glow of the sunset. Dai Yichen had a sudden thought: the silhouettes of the two people against the backdrop of the sunset were so beautiful that they were forever captured in a photograph.
