Dugu Yan quickly contained her tears and then looked in Ye Feng's direction.
"The words from that day??"
Ye Feng, upon hearing this, was completely baffled.
What had he said that day.
"Instructor, have you forgotten? That day, you called me a suicide snake, and you also said our family's Martial Soul is poisonous. I thought about it for a long time; Instructor, do you know that my parents died because of the Bi Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul?"
At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Feng very seriously.
"Ah, this... you're so smart!!"
Ye Feng replied.
He suddenly had an epiphany, damn it, who needs to steal herbs!!
The Dugu Yan in front of him was the walking herb, wasn't she!
Du Gubo survived the backlash of the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison because he cultivated to become a Gu King.
But for someone like Dugu Yan, they usually wouldn't live past twenty-years-old.
Ye Feng believed Du Gubo also knew this.
As long as he thought of a way to help her extend her life, that's all that would be needed!
By then, for the sake of his granddaughter's life, the other party would certainly grant him access to the medicinal garden.
When that time came, well, hehe!!
Tang San wouldn't even get a taste of the soup.
Thinking this, Ye Feng felt enlightened.
Why hadn't he thought of this before.
Indeed, it was an oversight, an oversight.
"It really is so! Then Instructor, does that mean I might also die young?!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's tears, which had just stopped, started to well up again in her beautiful eyes.
No wonder Grandpa was so good to her.
He was compliant in everything.
"Be confident, remove the 'might'."
Ye Feng replied.
"Waah! Instructor, how can you be so ruthless!!!"
Dugu Yan cried like a ninety-pound child!
Who isn't afraid of death!!
Everyone is afraid of dying, especially a girl like Dugu Yan, who has only lived for eighteen years.
There were still so many places she hadn't been to yet.
"Am I ruthless? I don't think I am ruthless, what I said was just reality. If you don't believe it, you can ask your grandpa. I reckon under normal circumstances you won't live past twenty, but with your grandpa's help, you should be able to live an extra ten years, likely to be buried at thirty."
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and said.
The estimate was probably just like that.
After all, from a young age, she had been eroded by the poison of the Martial Soul, even if Du Gubo was a Titled Douluo, he still couldn't reverse it.
Otherwise, his son wouldn't have died so early.
As for his daughter-in-law.
The poison was likely contagious.
If there was no resistance to poison, death would come even faster, and even with some resistance, one wouldn't last more than ten years.
This explained why both of Dugu Yan's parents had died.
Of course, these speculations were based on the assumption that Dugu Yan was poisoned with Green Phosphorus Snake Poison, if they were wrong, just consider them nonsense!
"My parents died at thirty!!"
Dugu Yan looked at Ye Feng in fear.
Her beautiful eyes were full of astonishment.
She was amazed at how the instructor could know so much.
Grandpa had never told anyone!
"Mm-hmm."
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
He actually guessed right.
Ye Feng felt somewhat incredulous.
But thinking about it, one could deduce as much.
Otherwise, how could Du Gubo, with his skills, fail to save his son and daughter-in-law, leaving only a granddaughter to depend on each other for life.
"Instructor, since you know so much, do you have a way to save us?!"
Sudden hope lit up in Dugu Yan.
You have to understand, Grandpa had never told anyone about these things, yet he understood so clearly; perhaps he had some kind of treatment method!
"Yes, but it requires a lot of rare ingredients, so there's very little hope."
Ye Feng answered.
If he really couldn't save her, he'd just have to draw blood!
After being modified by the System, his blood now had the power to cure all poisons.
When the time comes, I'll make the elixir using the formula for the inferior Stamina Pills, and then add a drop of my own blood into it, which should not only restore stamina but also detoxify.
Perfect!!
And in exchange, I'll just need to soak my Icefire Polarized Eyes in immortal grass. How wonderful that will be.
"Instructor, come home with me!"
Dugu Yan suddenly said to Ye Feng, visibly very excited.
"Ah ha? Go home with you??"
Ye Feng had an utterly baffled expression on his face when he heard this.
How could he possibly go back with Dugu Yan!
Wouldn't it require Du Gubo himself to come and personally invite him?
"Mhm, I'm sure Grandpa would be extremely interested in you, and as for those rare medicinal ingredients, I believe he could find a way to gather them!"
Dugu Yan, as if she had grasped a new hope, didn't know why, but for the first time, she felt that a man could be so magnificent.
Too impressive.
Not only is he powerful in combat, but he also knows about these spiritual herbs and poisons!
"Actually, I'm not entirely sure about this, and I'm about to reach the Soul King level, so I'll have to go to Sunset Forest to find a soul beast."
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
Of course, he said this on purpose.
Why go to Sunset Forest to look for a soul beast? Isn't it because it's close to Du Gubo's medicinal garden?
Cough cough!
The roads are slippery in the dark to prevent flipping over, so isn't it wise to set up some tricks?
"Soul King!!!"
Du Gubo was completely astonished when he heard this.
So the instructor's level-up is as easy as drinking water?
He's reached Soul King that quickly?
"Instructor, there's something I want to ask you."
Dugu Yan was thoroughly captivated by the subject and looked at Ye Feng with a serious expression.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Ye Feng looked back at Dugu Yan, his face full of question marks.
"Instructor, just how old are you really this year?"
Dugu Yan kept her gaze on Ye Feng.
For some reason, she always felt that the man before her was very young.
He seemed to be just fifteen or sixteen years old.
But a Soul King of fifteen or sixteen? That's absurd!
Who could believe that!
Even if you said a twenty-year-old Soul King on this continent, they would be rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns!
But if he were twenty-seven or twenty-eight, how on earth did he maintain his skin so well that it's as tender as that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy?
"How old? I just turned fourteen last week."
Ye Feng answered.
His age didn't seem like something to hide.
"Come on, can't you stop pretending to be younger?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Ye Feng when she heard that.
Couldn't the instructor be a bit more serious?
It's like a thirty-year-old aunt claiming to be an eighteen-year-old fairy, isn't it?
"Don't believe it? Then there's nothing I can do."
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders.
He wasn't a master who liked fooling people all the time.
If he said fourteen, then it really meant he was fourteen.
To think people didn't believe the truth these days.
"Alright, Instructor, I won't disturb you any longer. I'm going to rest. Thank you for talking so much with me tonight."
A fourteen-year-old Soul King?
Did she, Dugu Yan, believe that??
If you said twenty-four maybe.
But the conversation with the instructor tonight in fact sparked some hope in her.
After going back, she would have to consult with Grandpa to see if the Biphosphorous Snake Martial Soul really was poisonous as the instructor said, and if she truly was already suffering from severe poison and wouldn't live past twenty.
With that, Dugu Yan thanked Ye Feng and left.
Ye Feng then took a nice bath.
After that, he lay down in bed because he had just received two messages from the System.
