Chapter 12 Saving Your Life Three Times
After all, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is a master of poison. Even if Hua Tuo is there, Hua Tuo can detoxify him, but Xue Qinghe is too weak after all. So for safety reasons, he chooses to subdue Dugu Bo first.

It’s easier to talk when you lie down.

Dugu Bo looked at the young figure. On that still somewhat childish face, those eyes had a maturity and calmness that did not seem to belong to that age.

Dugu Bo felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was for a moment.

Given Dugu Bo's identity, strength, and personality, he would naturally not pay attention to a prince who had just awakened his martial spirit.

If there was one prince he was relatively familiar with, it was probably because of Prince Xuexing that he paid more attention to the Fourth Prince Xue Beng.

The emperor's liking for a prince may have something to do with the prince himself, but it may also have something to do with the prince's biological mother.

If a prince likes a prince, it is most likely related to his mother.

"I'm sorry, Senior Dugu, that we meet in this way." Xue Qinghe responded with an apologetic smile.

Because of the effect of Ma Fei San, Dugu Bo's facial expression became a little stiff, and his speech was also affected and became much slower.

"who are you?"

"Junior Xue Qinghe, nice to meet Senior Dugu!" Xue Qinghe replied.

Dugu Bo pondered: "Xue Qinghe's last name is Xue? Are you from the royal family of the Tiandou Empire?"

"Then who are they? Or you are not from the Tiandou royal family!"

It’s no wonder that Dugu Bo was suspicious. Dugu Bo also knew something about the strength of the Tiandou Empire, one of the two great empires.

The Tiandou Empire relied on the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to counter the Xingluo Empire and the Haotian Sect.

If the Tiandou Empire had two high-level Titled Douluo, how could it be suppressed by the Xingluo Empire?

"Senior, you have a keen eye. I am indeed from the Tiandou royal family, the second prince of the Tiandou Empire, and these few people are my retainers."

“Hmph, you are so young, and yet you have such ministers? Even if you are the second prince of the Tiandou Empire, how could you do it? I’m afraid that even the emperor of the Tiandou Empire doesn’t have such treatment.” Dugu Bo found it hard to understand how a child of six or seven years old could have such terrifying beings working for him.

Xue Qinghe did not continue to argue with Dugu Bo, but simply gave a look to Guan Yu, Xu Chu and Hua Tuo, and the three of them immediately knelt on one knee again to salute Xue Qinghe.

"I, the humble commoner, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Seeing that Guan Yu, Xu Chu and Hua Tuo truly recognized Xue Qinghe as their master, Dugu Bo had no other thoughts except disbelief.

"Senior Dugu, I like to speak frankly, so I'll just say it frankly. I have two purposes for coming here. One is that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in the valley behind you, which is the precious land where you usually practice, belongs to me! The second is that I want you to submit to me and serve me!" Xue Qinghe stated his purpose directly.

Dugu Bo's expression became complicated when he heard this, because Xue Qinghe's two goals were really more difficult than the other for him.

The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in the valley contained many kinds of magical herbs, and even he could not recognize them all. This showed the value of that treasure land. However, this little kid asked him for this treasure land from the very beginning.

Secondly, he had to serve this kid himself. Dugu Bo was used to being idle, and the reason why he was willing to help Prince Xuexing was because Prince Xuexing saved his life. As for asking him to serve others, that was absolutely impossible.

"What if I don't agree?" Dugu Bo asked tentatively.

Xue Qinghe's face was calm, not annoyed at all, and he just said calmly: "Then Senior, you are of no value. There is no need to keep things that have no value."

Dugu Bo looked at Guan Yu and Xu Chu standing on both sides of the Xueqing River with deep fear in his eyes.

No, they agreed not to kill the elderly, the weak, women and children!
However, after seeing Hua Tuo, Dugu Bo's idea was immediately extinguished. Although Hua Tuo was only at the Soul Douluo level, his fear of Dugu Bo was no less than that of the other two. The other two were overwhelmed by their strength, while Hua Tuo was overwhelmed by his expertise.

With the pressure from these three great gods, Dugu Bo quickly made concessions.

"Well, I'll give you the precious land in the valley behind, but I'm used to being idle, so I'm afraid I can't obey you. Prince Xuexing saved my life, so I obey him. You are all members of the Tiandou royal family, so there's not much difference. This should be fine, right?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head slowly: "Senior Dugu, Uncle Xuexing saved you, and I can also save your life. Besides, you seem to have made a mistake. I am not discussing with you, but letting you make a choice."

Dugu Bo felt a little difficult.

"Save my life? Your Highness, I'm not going to risk my life for you. If you let me go this time, it will count as saving my life!"

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up.

Huh? Can it be calculated this way?

This old guy has a very smart brain.

"If that counts, then I saved your life twice."

This time, before Dugu Bo could say anything, Xue Qinghe said, "Whenever it's cloudy and rainy, do you feel numbness and itchiness in your ribs, and it will gradually get stronger?"

"It occurs once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, it should last for more than an hour each time. Also, every night, around three o'clock in the morning, you will experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and in your heart. Your whole body will spasm for at least half an hour."

“And this should be a symptom of poisoning.”

Xue Qinghe thought about it and it seemed that this was roughly how the original book described it. To sum it up, it was the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis plus migraine.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was shocked. It was impossible for anyone else to find such a thing. Even his closest granddaughter Dugu Yan didn't know about it.

After all, I am well-known in the world of soul masters for my poison. If this gets out, won’t I lose face?

So Dugu Bo was very curious about how Xue Qinghe in front of him knew about it.

However, when I thought about the fact that two high-level Title Douluo and a powerful auxiliary Soul Douluo all obeyed my orders directly, it didn't seem so surprising that the other party knew my secret, because the probability of the two seemed to be similar.

"And if my guess is correct, the poison in your body will affect your family. Your granddaughter has probably been affected by it as well."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a pang in his heart.

Just as Xue Qinghe said, although Dugu Yan is still young, the poison of the Green Phosphorus Snake has begun to affect her since she awakened her martial soul. Now she only feels dizzy occasionally, but the symptoms will become more and more serious and painful in the later stages, and this cannot be suppressed by soul power.

"Can you cure the poison I'm in?" Dugu Bo was a little anxious.

Xue Qinghe pointed at Hua Tuo beside him.

"I can't cure this poison, but he should be able to."

"And if you count your granddaughter, then that would count as saving your life three times!"
