Chapter 19: Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well
"What are you doing here, you brat?"
Dugu Yan darted into her room and emerged a moment later, dressed in a new green cheongsam.
She glared at Pei Qing, her face sullen and displeased. The memory of what had just happened made her want to cry.
How could he have seen her like that? And he liked Ling Ling, didn't he?
That's right, Dugu Yan still believed Pei Qing was interested in Ye Ling Ling.
In any other world, this thought process would be considered insane, but on the Douluo Continent...
Oh, it was perfectly normal.
After all, in this world, dating was a big deal.
"Senior Dugu asked me to help deal with the side effects of your Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul!"
"See? I told you that your Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul has side effects."
Pei Qing smiled, his gaze unconsciously drifting to Dugu Yan's waist, wanting to measure just how slender it was.
The snake's waist was truly thin, and watching Dugu Yan fight, her flexibility was probably exceptionally high, far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
"Grandpa, does our Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul have side effects?"
Dugu Yan was startled, finding it hard to believe. She had only casually mentioned it to her grandpa yesterday when she got home, and he had simply smiled and comforted her. But the current situation proved otherwise.
Pei Qing was right; their Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul did have a problem. But how was that possible? If the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul had issues, how had her grandpa cultivated to the Titled Douluo level?
In the world of soul masters, having issues with your martial soul usually meant you couldn't cultivate properly. To reach the Titled Douluo level despite the side effects of the martial soul was an incredible feat of perseverance.
"Yanyan, this kid is right. Our Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul does have certain side effects."
"Your father died because of the backlash from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul venom."
Dugu Yan was stunned upon hearing this. Even Dugu Bo himself admitted it. She didn't want to believe it, but she had to.
"Don't worry, Senior Dugu. I will help."
Pei Qing practiced the Taiyi Breathing Technique. His Golden Crow Martial Soul could restrain all evil spirits and suppress and burn poison in Dugu Bo's body.
Although Dugu Yan's poison originated from her mother's womb, she was still weak now, so completely eradicating it wouldn't be difficult.
Moreover, with so many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with their assistance, it wasn't impossible to not only eradicate the Jade Phosphor Serpent venom from Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan but even evolve their martial souls.
Just the Land Dragon Golden Melon alone could promote the evolution of their martial souls, let alone the other immortal herbs.
As for why Tang San didn't let Dugu Bo eat the Land Dragon Golden Melon in the original work, Pei Qing assumed he didn't know its effects and wouldn't comment further.
"Let's go. First, we'll hunt a soul ring for Yan Yan, then we'll go to the herb garden."
Dugu Bo said nothing but looked at Pei Qing—who was seducing his granddaughter—with a cold, unhappy gaze.
"Senior Dugu, why don't we go to your medicine garden first? Let's put aside the soul ring hunting for now."
Pei Qing didn't explicitly state it, but with so many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it would be easy to evolve Dugu Yan's martial soul.
After her martial soul evolved, choosing a suitable soul ring would be the responsible thing to do for Dugu Yan.
"That's fine too. Let's go to the herb garden first."
Dugu Bo considered for a moment, glanced at his granddaughter, and thinking of her body, which had been steeped in Jade Phosphor Serpent venom since birth, he nodded slightly.
After all, with the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the poison. Letting Pei Qing deal with Yan Yan's poison first would be more beneficial than having her acquire a soul ring first.
"What methods did you use to trick my grandpa? He's never been so obedient to anyone."
Dugu Yan angrily poked Pei Qing's arm and asked curiously.
Since her parents died young, she had grown up with her grandfather. She knew very well what kind of person he was.
But now, her grandfather was so obedient to Pei Qing—she found it strange.
"It's a secret!"
Pei Qing smiled slightly, intentionally keeping her in suspense.
"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. Do you think I'm eager to hear it?!"
Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks in anger, her two small canine teeth grinding together. She felt an urge to pounce on Pei Qing and bite him hard.
"If you're not eager to hear it, what does that have to do with me? I wasn't planning on telling Senior Dugu anyway, was I?"
He teased Dugu Yan until she stomped her feet repeatedly and started getting physical, pinching Pei Qing's waist on the left and touching his shoulder on the right.
"Hey, Senior Dugu, even though you're very pretty, it's still wrong to act like a hooligan."
Pei Qing rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, and distanced himself from Dugu Yan.
A mere little snake dared to get physical with him, a Golden Crow! How presumptuous!
"Hmph, that's a girl's privilege!"
"Senior Dugu, I think you want to have a soul master duel with me!"
Pei Qing suddenly thought of a meme from before his rebirth, and his expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.
Dugu Yan: ???
"Alright, stop messing around. Yan Yan, give this kid an antidote pill. It's time for us to go in."
Dugu Bo was tired. If it weren't for Pei Qing's martial soul having powerful fire and sacred attributes, how could he tolerate his granddaughter bickering with this kid?
Now this kid even wanted to beat up his granddaughter. That was something an uncle could endure, but an aunt could not.
The three had arrived at the Sunset Forest. Under Dugu Bo's powerful Titled Douluo aura, no soul beast dared to approach.
Outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent venom was visible, seeping out.
The venom looked terrible, but it was just venom.
Pei Qing, with his near-extreme fire, was unaffected by Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent venom as long as his soul power wasn't completely exhausted.
He didn't refuse the detoxification pill handed to him by Dugu Yan; he took it directly and swallowed it without hesitation.
Don't doubt the person you employ, and don't doubt the person you trust. That applies both to employment and to doing things.
Pei Qing wouldn't judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he didn't even doubt Dugu Yan's antidote pill.
Seeing Pei Qing's behavior, Dugu Bo's complex gaze, which had been fixed on him, instantly softened considerably.
"You dare to eat what I give you? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"In the future, look at what others give you before you eat it, lest you die in confusion."
Dugu Bo still spoke coldly!
