Chapter 46: What's wrong with being a butler?
"You should take this opportunity to think carefully about how you should face your master once you become my possession."
Su Lin was somewhat at a loss after being tricked by Dugu Yan, but since there was an elemental advantage between them, he didn't think Ah Yin would fail.
The only thing to worry about is if Dugu Bo detonates the poison pills in a desperate move, but that would be certain death for him, while Ah Yin might not necessarily suffer much harm.
Besides, he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, so Dugu Bo wouldn't make such a choice as to abandon his lonely granddaughter.
"Then let's see who comes out on top!"
Having been pampered by a titled Douluo since childhood, Dugu Yan was quite proud, even though she wasn't spoiled.
She looked up at the rising mist above the mountain valley, hoping that her grandfather would return victorious!
However, the rising heat above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well completely obscured the valley, making it impossible for even the best eyesight to see the battle taking place on the cliff.
Only occasionally could one hear a loud roar, indicating the intense battle at hand.
However, this was not a problem for Su Lin. There was plenty of Blue Silver Grass here, and with the suppression of his rank, he could quickly build a "Blue Silver Network" to connect to Ah Yin and transmit the battle scene in real time.
This was not unexpected for Su Lin.
A deep blue-silver domain enveloped the entire hill, completely suppressing all aspects of Dugu Bo's soul power.
With his attributes countering his own and his domain suppressing him, Dugu Bo was now completely at a disadvantage. His prized poisons were of little use against the powerful life force.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine spirit rings shone brightly.
A massive, emerald-green snake, about thirty meters long and as thick as a water vat, twisted and turned, its mouth spewing out potent toxins capable of corroding even mountain cliffs.
However, these poisons, though potent, proved somewhat ineffective against the overwhelming Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover, as time went on, the Blue Silver Domain's suppression of Dugu Bo gradually increased, and his poison and soul power became weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, the Blue Silver Grass around Ah Yin was constantly transmitting life force and soul power to assist in her recovery, and even some other plants were ignited and transformed into pure energy to be integrated into her.
Those thick, blue-silver vines, even if corroded, would recover in an instant.
"The outcome is already decided."
Su Lin's expression grew increasingly calm. Dugu Bo was skilled in group attacks, and in this situation, he had no advantage whatsoever.
He sat calmly on a rock at the foot of the mountain, glancing with interest at Dugu Yan, who was becoming increasingly uneasy, and patiently awaited the outcome.
"you..."
Dugu Yan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"If Miss Dugu has anything to say, please feel free to speak your mind."
Since he was bored anyway, Su Lin didn't mind chatting with Dugu Yan for a bit longer.
Do you even know what's wrong with my body?
A hint of tension shone in Dugu Yan's pale green eyes, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms.
From a young age, her grandfather would take her to the Ye family for medical checkups every now and then, but no one ever told her that there was anything wrong with her body.
Even if she occasionally felt unwell, her grandfather would tell her that it was normal and just a slight side effect of her martial spirit.
But now, seeing her grandfather taking such a huge gamble, she has realized...
This might not be just a simple side effect of a martial soul!
"Miss Dugu need not worry."
Su Lin had no intention of scaring the little girl: "Your physical condition is indeed troublesome, but it's not a problem for me. As long as Your Majesty Dugu is willing to keep your promise, I will treat you regardless of victory or defeat."
Dugu Yan wanted to say something more, but at that moment... a loud noise suddenly came from above the canyon.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the rising mist above the canyon was suddenly torn apart by powerful blue soul energy, as if the sky had been ripped open.
The next moment, a dark green figure plummeted like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the ravine, raising clouds of dust and causing the ground to tremble.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Dugu Bo's disheveled figure came into view of Su Lin and Dugu Yan.
The usually arrogant Bilin Historian was now kneeling on one knee, his robe torn and hanging like strips of cloth, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his originally disheveled dark green hair was now completely tangled, stained with dirt and grass clippings.
"grandfather!"
Dugu Yan hurriedly got up and, with a cry of surprise, quickly ran towards Dugu Bo's direction.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Dugu Yan helped Dugu Bo slowly get up, her pale green eyes now filled with worry.
This was the first time she had ever seen her grandfather so disheveled—the usually arrogant and indifferent Bi Lin was now leaning on her shoulder even to stand up straight.
"Yanyan, Grandpa is alright."
This titled Douluo, whose name is "Poison," still had resentment in his emerald-like eyes, but the pride and sharpness he once possessed were gone.
Instead, there was a deep sense of frustration and bitterness.
Even after activating his Martial Soul True Body during the battle, he was still completely suppressed and couldn't mount a decent counterattack throughout the entire fight.
"Your Majesty Dugu, Miss Dugu, it seems my side has won."
A faint smile played on Su Lin's lips.
At this moment, several thick blue vines, like swimming dragons, spiraled down from the top of the valley and gracefully drooped down in front of Su Lin.
This is a giant Blue Silver Grass, radiating a hazy blue light and surrounded by a rich life force, seemingly perfectly in harmony with the environment around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Are you really not someone sent by some force to plot against me?"
Dugu Bo was still somewhat incredulous. This kid was far too strange. He had never heard of any Soul Master carrying a Soul Beast that was over 90,000 years old with him.
Not to mention that this soul beast is Blue Silver Grass, he has never seen many Blue Silver Grass plants that are over ten thousand years old in his life!
"Your Majesty Dugu overestimates yourself. There's no need for such a complicated scheme to scheme against you."
"A bet's a bet; do you need to make excuses anymore?"
Su Lin knew very well that, given the old poison master's personality, he might be somewhat unwilling, but the possibility of him going back on his word was unlikely.
"snort!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly: "I, Dugu Bo, have always acted according to my whims. People say I am capricious, but I will always do what I promise!"
Gently patting his granddaughter Dugu Yan's shoulder, Dugu Bo staggered slightly, but his eyes softened with tenderness: "As long as you keep your promise to treat Yan Yan, what's wrong with me being your housekeeper?"
He only has this one relative, and as long as his granddaughter is alright, he has no pride to worry about.
