Can a venomous snake die from its own venom?

"Yanyan, what did you say?!"

The next second, the door to the house suddenly opened, and the courtyard was swept open as if by a gust of wind!

The moment the figure came into view, they saw an old man with a slender build like a javelin, deep-set cheeks, dark green beard and hair, and eyes that shone like emeralds. He was dressed in a simple gray robe and staring intently at Dugu Yan.

When he saw Dugu Yan's black hair and her no longer emerald green eyes, which formed a stark contrast with his own, Dugu Bo froze on the spot, lost in thought.

until…

"grandfather!"

Dugu Yan's coquettish cry woke Dugu Bo.

Coming to his senses, he excitedly grabbed his granddaughter's shoulders, but his movements were as delicate as if he were handling porcelain, and he dared not exert any force. He simply used his soul power to continuously circulate through the meridians of her entire body.

Dugu Yan remained silent, simply letting her grandfather do as he pleased.

"It's true, it's true... but it's still not quite there, still not quite..."

When the soul power reached its final stage, Dugu Bo's expression became extremely excited.

He muttered to himself, almost bursting into tears.

When he came to his senses, his eyes seemed to gleam with two beams of green light as he gazed at his granddaughter.

"Yanyan, tell Grandpa..."

"grandfather!"

Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, Dugu Yan interrupted him.

This time, Dugu Yan's expression was very serious, as if she were not the mischievous granddaughter she used to be.

This change sent a shiver down Dugu Bo's spine, and a sense of foreboding arose within him.

And in the very next second,

"Grandpa, how long are you going to keep this from me?"

At this moment, Dugu Yan stared intently at Dugu Bo.

In fact, like Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling, she also guessed that her hair and eyes turning green was because there was something wrong with her body. She also guessed that Ouyang Ling's water cannon move was probably an evolution of the Deep Blue Purification.

Although I find it hard to believe, I may really be poisoned, perhaps even poison I was born with.

Thinking back to Grandpa's eyes and beard...

That means Grandpa was also poisoned!

Then what about her father, who passed away so early? Could he have died from poisoning as well?!

Along the way, Dugu Yan pondered many things.

Unsure if her guess was right or wrong, she came to Dugu Bo for confirmation. "Grandpa, tell me, have I been poisoned? Poisoned by the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake?"

When asked this question, Dugu Bo wanted to argue and deny it. But seeing his granddaughter's eyes and recalling the night his son and daughter-in-law died, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart. Finally, this Title Douluo, who had held his head high his entire life, at this moment…

Bent!

"Yanyan, you've grown up."

Dugu Bo sighed deeply. "Since that's the case, then there are some things Grandpa will no longer hide from you."

Next, he told the whole story.

It contained details about the truth of the Dugu family, including the cause of death of Dugu Yan's parents and his and Dugu Yan's physical condition.

That day, the grandfather and grandson talked a lot.

"Yanyan, it was Grandpa who ruined you and your parents!" Recalling those days, Dugu Bo felt a pang of regret! He had truly brought disaster upon his descendants!

"Grandpa, Yan Yan doesn't blame you," Dugu Yan comforted him. "This is our family's fate, something Grandpa can't avoid just because he wants to. Isn't that right? Besides, we now have a solution."

That's right!

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's spirits immediately lifted.

He pressed, "Yanyan, tell Grandpa quickly, how exactly did you get rid of the poison in your body? And the poison in your body isn't completely gone yet; if you continue cultivating, it could still worsen."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan did not panic.

Recalling what Ouyang Ling had said to her, the address he had given her, and the promise she had made earlier, Dugu Yan, who understood her grandfather's personality, immediately narrowed her eyes and said knowingly:

"Grandpa, if I tell you directly, you won't go looking for trouble with that person, will you?"

people?

Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat. It's easy to deal with people!

As for the question about Dugu Yan…

"Of course not." Dugu Bo denied it without batting an eye. "Since that person can solve your problem, why would I bother him?"

"Really?" Dugu Yan asked with a hint of doubt.

"Absolutely true!"

"Then take me with you when you go looking for someone."

"no."

Dugu Bo refused without even thinking.

Why?

Dugu Yan's eyes widened immediately, her face filled with indignation. She even threatened directly, "Grandpa, if you don't take me with you, you can forget about finding out who that person is or where he lives."

Dugu Bo earnestly advised:

"Yanyan, I'm doing this for your own good."

Dugu Yan remained unmoved:

"Grandpa, I also need to be responsible for others."

Suddenly, the grandfather and grandson had a disagreement.

After a standoff and argument, Dugu Bo finally had no choice but to compromise. Dugu Yan, on the other hand, declared that to prevent him from going back on his word, she would bring her grandfather directly to his door, telling him not to even think about getting rid of her—she was shrewd!

Dugu Bo: "..."

Yan Yan saw right through me.

……

at the same time,

Ouyang Ling had already returned to his residence. As soon as he entered, the Porcupine Douluo appeared in front of him.

"Grandpa Pufferfish, it's you here."

"I'm the most suitable person to do this. Although that old poisoner's poison is potent, he'll lose ninety percent of his power in front of me. If he dares to attack you, I'll intercept him immediately. Once we're outside the city, the Serpent Spear will also be there to guide him. With the two of us working together, he won't even have a chance to escape."

The Porcupine Douluo spoke in a very calm tone, as if he did not take Dugu Bo, the title holder, seriously at all.

And that is indeed the case.

If two level 94 titled Douluos were to face a level 91 titled Douluo who had not only lost 90% of his abilities, how could they not be confident?

"Then I'll trouble you. But if he doesn't intend to kill, there's no need for you to show yourself rashly."

Ouyang Ling nodded and thanked him.

Although he was confident of success, he wasn't reckless. If Dugu Bo really intended to force his way through, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

"What trouble is there?"

The Porcupine Douluo shook his head and disappeared.

Afterwards, Ouyang Ling instructed his servants and maids to tidy up the main hall and prepare refreshments and tea, waiting for the distinguished guest.

About fifteen minutes later,

"Knock knock knock—"

As the knock sounded on the door, Dugu Yan's voice rang out. "Xiao Ling, we're here!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling thought to himself: They've finally arrived!

He refused the servants' offer and instead opened the door himself.

Because the Porcupine Douluo used his soul power to transmit a message to him, he told him that Dugu Bo was standing outside and had come to visit with Dugu Yan, so he had to take a title seriously.

So when the mansion gates opened, besides Dugu Yan, there was also an old man dressed entirely in green. However, the old man's complexion seemed rather unwell, and the calm expression on his face seemed deliberately feigned.

Ouyang Ling: "..."

Doesn't Dugu Bo realize that he's asking someone for a favor?

Indeed, strength is the only true measure of success.

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Ouyang Ling immediately made a welcoming gesture with her hands, "Dugu, you've come."

He then looked at Dugu Bo, made a junior's gesture of respect, and said, "Senior Poison Douluo, please."

"Oh?"

His eyes gleamed with a green light, revealing a playful expression.

"Kid, you know me?"

"The Poison Douluo reigns supreme in the world; his name is known to all."

Ouyang Ling complimented him without showing any emotion.

Dugu Bo wanted to say something, but Dugu Yan didn't give him a chance at all, and forcibly dragged him to the main hall to interrupt him.

Ouyang Ling smiled and closed the door.

As the host and guests took their seats in the main hall, Dugu Bo glanced at the snacks and tea on the table and smiled sinisterly.

"Kid, did you guess we were coming? Or were you already prepared beforehand?"

"Senior, what are you saying?"

Ouyang Ling remained composed and pretended not to know. Some things couldn't be said openly in front of Dugu Yan.

Just then, Dugu Yan whispered, "Grandpa!"

Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give up for now. It seemed he could only get on with today's business.

"Boy, how do you cure Yanyan's poison?"

This was a normal question, but Ouyang Ling didn't answer it. Instead, he asked another question: "Senior, do you think a venomous snake can be killed by its own venom?"
