59: Su Ye's Three Soul Questions
On the balcony, the air instantly froze.
Three?
This kid actually has three methods!
Dugu Bo was greatly startled. To think that as a Title Douluo, even he was currently suffering from poison.
He didn't have a single method, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of coming to threaten Su Ye; he would have solved it himself.
"You... you said you have three methods to detoxify?!"
Dugu Yan's pupils widened, and she blurted out the question, her face a mix of shock and joy.
Originally, she had only heard her grandfather Dugu Bo's speculation and had come to Su Ye with a hopeful attitude to ask if he had a method.
She was in the prime of her youth; she didn't want to die!
During this time, she had been fearful and uneasy, afraid of dying young, and also afraid that Su Ye was just boasting and actually had no method at all.
Now, hearing that there was a method, and even three, made Dugu Yan feel as if she were dreaming.
At this moment, how could she possibly restrain herself? She wished she could immediately dig into Su Ye's mind and empty it.
"That is natural."
Su Ye nodded calmly without changing his expression, but his gaze was fixed directly on Dugu Bo, as if looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, rich enough to rival a nation?
Not necessarily!
This person in front of him was absolutely the undisputed number one landlord on the continent.
He exclusively occupied a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, yet he didn't know how to use it, allowing others to pick up a huge bargain for free.
Being stared at by Su Ye as if he were an idiot, Dugu Bo furrowed his brow, completely unable to understand what that look specifically meant.
However.
Seeing Su Ye say he had three methods, the stone in Dugu Bo's heart was also half lifted.
His eyes were deep and firm, and he said forcefully, "Su Ye, right? As long as you can detoxify Yan'er, whatever you want that this old man has, just name it."
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan's heart tightened. How could you really give in so easily? We can talk slowly.
Dugu Bo turned a deaf ear, his sharp, eagle-like eyes piercing directly into Su Ye's eyes. His stubborn and arrogant temper revealed the importance he placed on family affection.
"Straightforward!"
"I'm starting to like your straightforward nature, old poison!"
Su Ye grinned, his expression shrewd and completely unconcealed.
"Since you're straightforward, I'll be direct too."
"The least desirable method is simply to save her life and clear the toxins from her body. The drawback is that she will lose the greatest advantage of her Bi Lin Serpent Martial Soul."
"As for the price, half of the wealth and items you possess, old poison, must belong to me."
Dugu Yan pursed her lips, closed and opened her eyes, and her small mouth opened urgently.
"Grandpa, I..."
Before Dugu Yan could speak, she saw Dugu Bo wave his hand, directly cutting off the words she was about to say.
"Tell me about the second method!"
Dugu Bo ordered without question, his resolute eyes clearly indicating he had made a decision.
He only had this one granddaughter; the future of the Du Gu Family basically depended on her.
Although he didn't expect Dugu Yan to break through to a very high cultivation level, as a woman, she would eventually marry.
Dugu Bo knew that Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were a couple, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was one of the Upper Three Schools, with formidable strength.
If she had no strength, wouldn't she be bullied after he died?
Knowing that Dugu Bo wouldn't choose this method, Su Ye was just saying it; he had no intention of leaving Dugu Bo half of the Immortal Herbs.
He continued speaking unhurriedly:
"The second method can save her life and also guarantee the venomous effect of her Martial Soul, leaving her strength completely unaffected."
"As for the price, it requires not only all the wealth you currently possess, but also for you to do things for me for one year."
"Of course, not the kind that harms heaven and reason."
"You're dreaming!" As soon as the words fell, Dugu Yan could no longer sit still and stood up angrily.
"Do you know what you're saying?!"
"My grandpa is a Title Douluo, after all. It's one thing to have him do a few things for you, but you want him to be at your beck and call for a year? Do you think you have that much influence?"
Su Ye wasn't angered; he shrugged indifferently, "In that case, let's choose the first method."
"Wait!"
Dugu Bo immediately spoke up, then looked at Dugu Yan with a stern face. The latter snorted and sat down indignantly.
Dugu Bo spoke slowly, "As for external possessions, this old man doesn't even put them in his eyes."
"I only have this one granddaughter. If I can give her a safe future in exchange for a year of this old man's time, it is indeed a good choice."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "But what guarantee do you have that you're not swindling this old man and deliberately stalling for time?"
Although Dugu Bo's aura was completely withdrawn, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.
But the spiritual deterrence revealed by those cold, clear eyes was enough to make most Soul Masters tremble with fear.
Su Ye shrugged easily and spread his hands, saying, "It's very simple. The potent poison you released earlier has been neutralized by me, which at least proves I have a way to counteract toxins."
"Furthermore..."
A mysterious smile of victory appeared on Su Ye's lips, "Now, besides believing me, you have no other method!"
"No matter how much confidence I have, you can only bet that I can do it, right?"
Dugu Bo lowered his eyes, his gaze flickering uncertainly, and he didn't respond for a long time.
After quite a while.
Dugu Bo suddenly sighed deeply, then raised his complicated green eyes and changed the subject, saying:
"Alright, this old man still wants to hear your third method."
"Since the second, intermediate method no longer affects Yan'er's body, could this third method possibly be even better?"
"Of course!"
Su Ye nodded firmly.
"This third method is also the best. It can completely absorb the toxins in her body for her own use, unleashing even more astonishing Soul Skills."
"And there is a fifty percent chance that she can break through to Title Douluo in her lifetime."
His voice was resounding, like a great bell exploding in their ears.
For a moment, the air on the balcony completely stagnated.
Dugu Bo's pupils trembled with shock, and Dugu Yan beside him felt her mind go blank.
Break through... Title Douluo?!
Simply... utterly arrogant!!
On the entire continent, Title Douluo already stood at the peak. How many talented Soul Masters spent their entire lives unable to even touch the threshold of Title Douluo.
Dugu Yan herself knew that she could never become a Title Douluo in this lifetime.
But you, a Soul Venerable, actually dare to say you can make someone break through to Title Douluo?
Dugu Yan really wanted to scoff, but when she thought of Su Ye's abnormal strength, her heart inexplicably wavered a little.
Fifty percent... Title Douluo!
That was Title Douluo!
Dugu Yan's heart surged, and her eyes felt inexplicably hot.
Su Ye continued to remind him, "Of course, the requirements for this method are also higher. Besides the external possessions you mentioned, you need to obey my commands for ten years."
"Within ten years, as long as I don't ask you to go to your death, or to brutally slaughter innocent people, you must obediently comply."
Taking a deep look at Dugu Bo, Su Ye stopped speaking, waiting for the latter's final decision.
After quite a while, Dugu Bo finally recovered and opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Kid, you..."
"You only have one granddaughter, don't you expect to treat her better?" Su Ye idly fiddled with the fingers of his right hand, as if talking to the air.
"I..."
"The only living relative, flesh and blood, you'll definitely go all out for her, right?"
"You..." Dugu Bo glared, greatly stifled.
Su Ye sighed faintly and continued, "If your granddaughter marries out, your Du Gu Family will be gone."
"If she's strong, let him marry into the family. Then the children born later will take your Du Gu surname. Why be a great-grandfather when being a great-great-grandfather isn't as good?"
Alright, alright, the index finger pointing at Su Ye trembled incessantly. Dugu Bo's mentality completely exploded and turned into "great-grandfather".
Bang—!
Dugu Bo "swish" slammed the table and stood up. With one palm strike, the high-grade solid wood low table in front of him instantly turned to dust.
"Speak!"
"If you've got the guts, keep talking!"
"This old man has dominated the Soul Master world for decades, and I need a little brat like you to teach me how to do things? Huh?!"
"Do you think you're very smart? Huh?! Speak up, *##..."
"..."
Uh...
Looking at Dugu Bo, who had turned into a shrew, Ning Rongrong and the other person in the room felt their worldview was about to shatter.
Was the previous Senior Dugu just an illusion?
