NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Chapter 29: A Douluo with the Title of Poison
I don't know how long it had been since they started practicing. Ye Feng and Xiao Wu would wake up, go ashore, swallow a piece of Star Anise Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot, then jump back into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to continue their body training.
Ye Feng was a man, and Chen Xin was also a man. Even if Ye Feng was naked, he didn't feel embarrassed. Xiao Wu, however, was different. She was a woman, and especially since her consciousness was still that of an old monster who had lived for 100,000 years. Whenever she came ashore, even though Chen Xin had his back to her, she would still blush shyly.
When Xiao Wu swallowed the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the delicate leaves of the Fiery Apricot and jumped into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire Spring, her face became even rosier as she looked at the naked boy in the spring.
Days like this went on for quite a while.
Ye Feng stood on the shore and looked back at the natural body with rabbit ears in the spring. He couldn't help but feel a heat in his lower abdomen.
Ye Feng cursed himself inwardly: "What the hell am I thinking! Xiao Wu is still a child, and I'm having thoughts like this about her."
Ye Feng took two long breaths to calm his hot and impulsive emotions. He took out a set of clothes from the storage soul guide, put them on, and walked over to Chen Xin's side.
Chen Xin opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to continue?"
At this point, only half of the Star Anise Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot had been used. Ye Feng could continue to train his body.
Ye Feng replied with a smile, "Master, let me protect you from now on. It's time for you to train your body."
Chen Xin shook his head and said, "No need. My spirit power has reached level ninety-six now. Strengthening my body won't help me improve my combat power. You should continue practicing."
Ye Feng didn't deny it.
Chen Xin was now a Title Douluo and had obtained nine spirit rings. He couldn't obtain any more spirit rings. When a spirit master's spirit power reaches level 95, every time his spirit power increases by a small level, his martial spirit evolves. For Chen Xin, what he needed most was to improve his spirit power, not his physical body.
"Who are you? Why are you in my medicine garden?"
A deep, hoarse voice came from the top of the hill.
"He's coming." Chen Xin said.
The owner of the voice hadn't arrived yet, but Chen Xin had already recognized the person from his voice.
After a while, the owner of the voice came in front of Ye Feng and Chen Xin.
The owner of the voice was tall and thin, looking like a javelin. His hair and beard were dark green, and his eyes sparkled like emeralds.
This person gave an illusory feeling, as if he were a phantom. His steps were unseen, and soon he stood in front of Ye Feng and Chen Xin.
His expression was completely stiff, his cheeks sunken, his green hair messy, and he was wearing a plain grey robe. Although his hands were tucked into his sleeves, his eyes—like those of a venomous snake—were fixed on Ye Feng and Chen Xin.
The old man exclaimed in disbelief, "Chen Xin, it's actually you!"
The old man's voice was filled with a hint of fear. He knew that there were only a handful of people in the spirit master world who he couldn't afford to offend. One of them was Chen Xin, known as the Sword Douluo.
Chen Xin often accompanied Ning Fengzhi, and the old man often went in and out of the Tiandou royal family. Thus, the old man recognized Chen Xin at a glance.
The old man's eyes fell on the Star Anise Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, and he cried out in distress, "My immortal herbs! You... you stole my immortal herbs!"
Chen Xin said calmly, "Dugu Bo, watch your words. Even if we talk about the owner of Sunset Forest, its owner is the Tiandou Empire. And with your abilities, you can't grow these immortal herbs. These immortal herbs can be considered ownerless."
Dugu Bo was dissatisfied upon hearing Chen Xin's words, and he argued, "Even so, this is the place I discovered forty years ago. For forty years, I have taken care of everything here. Everything here should belong to me."
Chen Xin's eyes sharpened, and he said, "So what? It's just eating two magical herbs. Do you want to spar with me?"
"Sparring?" Dugu Bo was stunned and looked at Chen Xin with fear. If they really fought, he wouldn't be able to defeat the battle-hungry Chen Xin.
"Old senior, I'm really sorry for eating two of your magic herbs without your permission. However, I'll give you what you need most," Ye Feng smiled apologetically.
"You're just a kid, what can you give me?" Dugu Bo waved his hand and didn't bother with Chen Xin. He impatiently ordered Ye Feng and Chen Xin to leave.
"Old senior, the full moon night is coming soon. You're here to relieve your pain, right?" Ye Feng asked.
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Ye Feng. He looked him up and down, still urging Ye Feng to leave with no worry.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little kid? Go away quickly. I've told you, I won't bother with you about the magical herbs," Dugu Bo urged.
Dugu Bo called himself Poison and was honored as Poison Douluo in the spirit master world. If people knew that he was infected by poison, once the spirit master world knew, would he still have any face left?
So, even if Ye Feng was right, Dugu Bo wouldn't admit it.
Ye Feng noticed Dugu Bo's eyes. If he were just a six-year-old child, he wouldn't continue talking to Dugu Bo. But even though he looked like a six-year-old child, his intelligence was far beyond that. He smiled and said, "Old senior, every time it's cloudy and rainy, do you feel numbness and itching in your ribs? It happens once at noon and once at midnight. With your condition, it should last for more than an hour each time. Also, every time in the middle of the night, do you feel a tingling pain on the top of your head and the soles of your feet? Old senior, you don't need to hide it from me. Not only have you been poisoned, but the poison has penetrated into your bones."
"He's poisoned?" Chen Xin exclaimed, looking at Dugu Bo in surprise.
It was such a joke that a person who had been playing with poisons all his life ended up being harmed by them.
"It seems that I really need to have a sparring match today," Dugu Bo's eyes sharpened. Ye Feng's words forced him to fight with Chen Xin and keep Ye Feng around.
What Ye Feng said was true. Once these secrets were known by Dugu Bo's enemies, and they used them to attack Dugu Bo when the poison took effect, the consequences would be disastrous.
