Dugu Yan was stunned.
Incredulously, she asked, "Su Bai, what did you just say?"
If she hadn't misheard, Su Bai just said he could help her detoxify?
Su Bai smiled, "I said, I have a way to cure the poison in your body."
"Really?"
Dugu Yan was ecstatic. "Su Bai, if you can help me detoxify, I'll do anything to repay you, no matter the cost."
Who could understand the agony? A poison master, poisoned by her own martial spirit, unable to cure herself. Every time it flared up, the pain was unbearable. She had resigned herself to a life of torment by poison.
But now, someone was offering a cure?
If it were anyone else, she might have doubted them. But the young, mysterious man before her was different. His spirit ring configuration was unprecedented, and he had some miraculous method that enabled her to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring successfully. If anyone could help her, it might just be him.
"Any cost?"
Su Bai raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously, "What if I said I want you?"
Dugu Yan was taken aback. Her cheeks flushed a deep red.
She hadn't expected such a direct request from Su Bai. Though she was confident in her looks, Su Bai was a Titled Douluo with three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. Even her grandfather wouldn't stand a chance against him. Such an extraordinary man wanted her?
She didn't hesitate for long. Slipping into Su Bai's arms, her slender waist writhing slightly, she looked up at him with her enchanting eyes, "I... I'm willing."
"Good."
Su Bai's hand moved to her waist, enjoying the feel of her smooth skin.
But now wasn't the time for that. Although Dugu Yan agreed, he needed to show his sincerity. Making her wholeheartedly loyal to him was part of the plan. Over time, Su Bai found that the process of winning over beautiful women brought him great satisfaction, more so than force.
"Alright, give me a moment."
Dugu Yan looked expectantly at Su Bai, then tactfully stepped away.
She understood that this was something private and shouldn't be intruded upon. Su Bai's willingness to help her detoxify was already a great favor. She wouldn't dare to covet his secrets, especially given his Titled Douluo strength. Even if she wanted to, she lacked the ability to pry.
After Dugu Yan left, Su Bai began his work.
He took out a bowl filled with water, then let a drop of his blood fall into it.
Having consumed both the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, his blood had potent detoxifying properties. In the original story, Tang San used these along with other medicinal herbs to create detoxification pills for Dugu Bo. But Su Bai didn't need such complications.
As an ancient dragon, his blood carried immense life force. Combined with the effects of the celestial herbs he had consumed, it was far superior to any detoxification pill Tang San could have made.
The drop of blood quickly dissolved in the water. Su Bai then divided the mixture into ten small porcelain bottles, ensuring the potency was balanced. His blood was too powerful, and he worried that undiluted, it might be too much for Dugu Yan's body to handle. By dividing it into ten doses, he ensured it would be safe and effective.
After finishing, Su Bai went to find Dugu Yan.
He handed her the porcelain bottles, "Drink this, and the poison in your body will start to diminish."
Dugu Yan took the bottle, eyeing the pale red liquid inside curiously. Trusting Su Bai, she drank it in one gulp.
Almost immediately, she felt changes in her body.
"What..."
Her eyes widened in surprise.
Her spirit power had increased noticeably! More importantly, she could feel the poison in her body being neutralized.
Su Bai was telling the truth.
Seeing her reaction, Su Bai asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
Dugu Yan didn't answer with words. Instead, she kissed him on the cheek, expressing her gratitude through action.
The issue of poison had tormented her for so long, and now it was being resolved. Her joy was immeasurable.
Su Bai, feeling Dugu Yan's gratitude, pulled her back as she tried to step away. He kissed her lips deeply, his hands roaming over her body, savoring the softness of her skin and the curves of her figure.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened in surprise at Su Bai's boldness.
But she found herself not disliking it.
Closing her eyes, she began to respond to Su Bai's kiss.
The kiss lasted a long time. When Dugu Yan's face turned red from lack of air, Su Bai finally released her.
Gasping for breath, Dugu Yan looked at Su Bai with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, "You almost suffocated me."
"Can't help it when you're so beautiful."
Su Bai chuckled.
Had the timing been right, he might have taken things further.
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, then looked seriously at Su Bai, "Thank you, Su Bai."
Su Bai nodded, handing her the remaining bottles, "Take one every ten days. By the time you finish these, the poison in your body should be completely gone."
Dugu Yan was deeply moved.
She kissed him again, "Thank you so much!"
Su Bai smiled, "No problem. You already agreed to be my woman, remember? I always take good care of my women."
"Is that so..."
Dugu Yan's heart raced.
Su Bai wasn't lying. He had many women, but he treated each one with genuine care and affection.
Dugu Yan was elated.
Knowing that the poison that had plagued her for so many years was finally being cured lifted a huge burden from her shoulders. But then she thought of her grandfather, whose condition was similar to hers but more severe due to his more potent martial spirit.
Although her grandfather always reassured her that he could manage his poison, Dugu Yan knew better. He would leave home whenever his poison acted up, not wanting her to see him suffer.
Feeling both relief and worry, she hesitated before speaking, "Su Bai, can you do me another favor?"
"Go ahead."
"My grandfather suffers from the same poison. Can you help him too?"
Su Bai smiled, "Of course I can."
"That's wonderful!"
"I'll take you to him right now."
Dugu Yan's face lit up with excitement and gratitude. Her emerald eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Bai, her feelings evident.
