On that day, after finishing his conversation with Qian Renjue, Qian Renxue hurriedly returned to Heaven Dou City with the Snake Lance Douluo.
She had to handle the matter of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud personally.
After harvesting the immortal herbs, Qian Renjue decided not to handle everything himself and instructed the Porcupine Elder, "Uncle Porcupine, I'll trouble you to sorting the herbs here."
"Rest assured, Young Master, I will take care of it."
The Porcupine Douluo replied respectfully.
Qian Renjue nodded, taking some herbs and walking towards the wooden house in the distance.
The snake poison within Dugu Xin needed a proper treatment.
"Yan Yan, bring over the pestle."
"Yes!"
The clear response came immediately.
Dugu Yan, who was preparing medicine for Dugu Xin, quickly stood up, fetched the pestle hanging from the eaves, and ran towards Qian Renjue, handing it over with both hands and a hint of a smile.
"Your Highness, Yan Yan has already broken through to the twentieth level."
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Congratulations. I'll have Sister Ling accompany you to hunt a soul beast later."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Dugu Yan stood by respectfully, waiting for Qian Renjue's instructions.
Her small face no longer showed fear. (Because of Qian Renxue)
"Are you thirsty, Your Highness?"
"..."
Qian Renjue couldn't help but smile, shaking his head.
He tossed the herbs he had just picked into the mortar and then made a large cut on his finger.
Under the pressure of his soul power, the crimson blood quickly splashed onto the herbs.
"Ah!"
Dugu Yan couldn't help but exclaim, rushing forward to try to cover the wound.
However, Qian Renjue raised his hand to stop her.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Yan Yan, I'm doing this to…"
"Your Highness!"
Before Qian Renjue could finish explaining, Ling Yuan Douluo arrived swiftly upon hearing the commotion.
Seeing the blood pool, her pupils contracted slightly.
"Your Highness, why are you letting out so much blood?!"
With a swift motion, Ling Yuan Douluo stepped forward, grabbing Qian Renjue's arm to stop the blood from flowing.
"Sister Ling, after taking the celestial herbs, my blood can remove the poison from Dugu Xin's body without affecting his cultivation."
Qian Renjue explained helplessly.
Dugu Xin had already taken the Detoxification Pill to move some of the poison from his internal organs, but the poison in his body had not decreased at all and was still slowly accumulating.
Qian Renjue's blood, containing the essence of the Ice and Fire Herbs, could effectively solve this issue.
Otherwise, Dugu Xin would be finished before he could obtain a soul bone.
Ling Yuan looked at the bright red blood in the mortar and raised her eyebrows, a hint of reproach in her eyes. "But isn't this too much?"
"We can't stay here for long, so we need to prepare more."
Qian Renjue maintained his smile.
"Your Highness…"
Upon hearing Qian Renjue's words, Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned.
She looked at the bright red blood and Qian Renjue's nonchalant smile, feeling an complex emotion in her heart.
From begging on her knees when they first met and until now, watching him bleed to detoxify her dad, various memories kept flashing.
In front of Qian Renjue, the pride of the eldest daughter of the Dugu family seemed completely unnecessary.
"Sister Ling , I'll add a bit more."
Before Qian Renjue could finish, the system's electronic voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully spreading great love for the first time! (Target: Dugu Yan)]
[Reward: Jade Phosphor Poison Skill!]
[Jade Phosphor Poison Skill: It can control, condense, and avoid poison. Cultivating to the Title Douluo realm allows for the creation of a personal poison pill!]
"..."
Qian Renjue was momentarily stunned, and a gentle, obedient voice sounded in his ear.
"Your Highness, thank you…"
"Hmm?"
Qian Renjue turned to look.
At that moment, Dugu Yan was already holding Qian Renjue's hand, kneeling on the ground.
"Your Highness, Yan Yan promises to serve you devotedly and follow your commands in the future."
Dugu Yan bit her pink lips, holding Qian Renjue's hand tightly with a resolute voice.
As the eldest daughter of the Dugu family, she was now willingly wanting to be Qian Renjue's personal maid.
No matter what it is—personal maid, bed warmer, or any other role—she was willing to stay by Qian Renjue's side.
Thinking about how she felt the warmth and comfort every time she fed him whale jelly and rubbed her head against his hands, Dugu Yan's face turned a bit flushed.
It seemed that she had been unconsciously conquered by him back then.
"Yan Yan, we're all family now. Isn't it only right for me to do this?"
Qian Renjue said with a wry smile, pulling Dugu Yan up.
"Get up, calling yourself a maid sounds really odd."
"Mm, Yan Yan understands."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly and slowly stood up.
Hearing the commotion, Dugu Bo naturally peeked out of the room.
Seeing this scene, he sighed softly and withdrew without further comment.
The Dugu family had indeed received great favors.
Unlike before, when he was forced, he had long since decided to follow the Spirit Hall.
Yan Yan's resolve should be a cause for his happiness.
Ling Yuan Douluo released Qian Renjue's hand. "Your Highness, you wouldn't have intentionally sent Miss Xue away, would you?"
"No, I really needed her help with something."
Qian Renjue shook his head.
However, this timing was indeed good; otherwise, Qian Renxue might have scolded him.
Putting aside those thoughts, Qian Renjue continued to speed up the blood flow and began preparing the medicine.
"Your Highness, let me do it."
Ling Yuan Douluo took the items from Qian Renjue's hands helplessly.
"Yan Yan will help Your Highness apply the medicine."
Dugu Yan smiled as she held Qian Renjue's hand.
Under the astonished gazes of Qian Renjue and Ling Yuan Douluo, she placed the still bleeding fingertip into her mouth and gently sucked on it.
Qian Renjue was taken aback.
His fingertip was enveloped by her soft and smooth tongue, which felt different from the licking of a Soft-Boned Rabbit.
(Guys, its really good to have your finger licked by a woman. Try it on your girlfriend)
He looked slightly uncomfortable and said awkwardly, "Yan Yan, weren't you supposed to apply the medicine?"
"I'm stopping the bleeding for you first."
Dugu Yan replied, pursing her lips and blushing with shyness, quickly lowering her head.
"Phew~"
Seeing Qian Renjue's helpless expression, Ling Yuan Douluo couldn't help but chuckle.
If this girl were taken back to the Spirit City, she would probably end up fighting with Nana, right?
Soon, the the small wound of Qian Renjue quickly closed under Dugu Yan's 'gentle' care.
Qian Renjue sat under the eaves, quietly reviewing the system reward of the Jade Phosphor Poison Skill.
According to the description, it seemed to be able to resolve the flaws in the Dugu family's martial spirit.
Once the snake poison in Dugu Xin's body was reduced to an appropriate level and could be self-contained.
And after cultivating this poison skill, the soul bone would probably not needed.
He was basically healthy
Qian Renjue looked at Dugu Yan, who was skillfully rolling the pills, and thought about the girl he met today at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
By the way, wasn't Dugu Yan one of Ye Lingling's few friends from the original story?
Then, he didn't have to take her back to Spirit City
