Dugu Bo looked anxious and reached out to check his granddaughter's pulse.
"Grandpa! Open your mouth!"
But Dugu Yan didn't give him a chance to speak. She directly poured out a Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into Dugu Bo's mouth with lightning speed.
"Mph?!"
Dugu Bo was stunned. Just as he was about to spit it out, he felt the pill dissolve instantly upon entering his mouth.
Immediately, an unprecedented coolness swept through his entire body!
That stubborn ailment that had plagued his bone marrow and Meridians for years, causing him excruciating pain whenever it rained or was damp, actually receded rapidly under this coolness, like snow melting!
That feeling of ease made him involuntarily let out a comfortable moan.
"This... this is..."
Dugu Bo widened his old eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
Feeling the unprecedented tranquility within his body, his voice trembled: "Yan Yan, what did you feed your grandpa?"
"My poison... has actually been suppressed?"
Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather's shocked yet comfortable expression and revealed a bright smile.
How should she explain the origin of this pill?
Directly saying it was a diary reward? Absolutely not, the System had warned her against exposing the diary.
Suddenly, she had an idea, recalling the lie Dante told the Sword Douluo earlier that day.
Since you have a 'Mysterious Master,' let the old man take the blame again!
"Grandpa, actually... I don't know what it is either."
Dugu Yan blinked her big eyes and began to tell a serious fabrication:
"Just now, I was preparing to rest in my room."
"Suddenly! The window opened a crack, and a dark shadow appeared behind me like a phantom!"
"I was terrified at the time, just about to call for you."
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply: "A Man in Black?! Right under my nose?!"
He was a Titled Douluo!
Although he was suffering from the poison backlash and his perception was lowered, it shouldn't be possible for someone to sneak into the next room without him noticing, right?
Unless the opponent's strength far surpassed his!
"Yes! It was the Man in Black!"
"Then he forcibly fed me this pill and told me about the flaw in my Martial Soul. I knew it... Grandpa, why won't you let me switch to the attack system."
"What else did that Man in Black say to you?" Dugu Bo asked with a grave expression.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and imitated the tone of an expert:
"He said that the Green Phosphorus lineage has decent talent, but it's a pity they walked a crooked path, and their life won't last long."
"He also said, I find this little girl quite pleasing to the eye, so this pill is considered establishing a good connection for my unworthy apprentice."
"Apprentice?" Dugu Bo was stunned. "Who?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes: "I asked him at the time, I said, 'Senior, who is your apprentice?'"
"He faintly spoke a name—Dante!"
Boom!
When these two words were spoken, Dugu Bo was completely struck by lightning and stood frozen on the spot.
Dante?!
That mysterious expert in black was actually Dante's Master?!
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Dugu Bo suddenly slapped his thigh, his expression shifting wildly.
"During the day, that old fellow Chen Xin said Dante had a Master behind him, one whom even he couldn't sense."
"At the time, I was still somewhat skeptical, thinking that kid Dante was just bragging."
"I didn't expect... it was true!"
Dugu Bo now completely believed in Dante's 'fictional' Master.
After all, besides such a peerless expert who lives in seclusion, who could casually produce a Detoxification Pill that even he couldn't concoct?
Who could silently enter a hotel guarded by two Titled Douluos?
"What else did he say?" Dugu Bo quickly pressed.
Dugu Yan continued weaving her tale: "He also said that this pill can only keep you safe for three years."
"After three years, if you want a complete cure, then go find Dante."
"He said: At that time, Dante will have a way. If that unworthy apprentice still has no solution, I myself will intervene again."
After saying this, Dugu Yan silently apologized to Dante in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin Yuan."
"Anyway, your so-called Master is made up (or it's the System), so I'm not technically lying, hehe."
Dugu Bo listened and remained silent for a long time.
He slowly walked to the window, looking in the direction of Nuoding Academy, his eyes becoming extremely complex.
"Three years, a complete cure, and even personally delivering the medicine..."
Dugu Bo sighed deeply, his tone filled with profound emotion:
"It seems that our Dugu family now owes Dante, owes his Master a massive favor!"
Then, Dugu Bo turned around and looked at Dugu Yan, the previous sternness gone from his eyes, replaced only by deep guilt and tenderness.
"Yan Yan, since that Senior said so, and even sent the pill..."
"Then I will no longer object to the matter of your cultivation direction."
"If you want to switch to the attack system, then go ahead."
"Regarding your Martial Soul, Grandpa is very sorry. I just want you to live carefree, without worrying about so many troublesome things."
Dugu Bo finally told his granddaughter the truth about the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison backlash and the secret of the inner core without reservation... Having handled her grandfather, Dugu Yan was in high Martial Souls.
She then shared the rewards she received today in the chat group, showing off fiercely.

[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Oh my, I really didn't expect this.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Dante said in the diary he couldn't cure the poison, but the System turned around and dropped a Detoxification Pill for me!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: My grandpa and I took it, and the poison inside us was instantly suppressed. I even took the opportunity to fool my grandpa using the name 'Dante's Master,' hehe!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: It seems Brother Lin Yuan is my lucky star. As long as I'm associated with him, my luck gets better~]
As soon as this message appeared, the previously quiet chat group instantly exploded.
All the girls knew what was going on? This was clearly someone benefiting and then pretending to be innocent!
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl (Ning Rongrong):!!! Sister Yanyan, you are so lucky, I really want rewards too.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Unfair! I want a diary critical hit reward too! I want to go find Dante!]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Fruits: Hmph! What's so great about that!]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Fruits: This must be the System taking pity on your grandpa and giving you a handout!]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Fruits: Also, you are not allowed to call him Brother Lin Yuan! He is mine!]
Bibi Dong watched the effect of that pill, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"What a grand gesture."
"This diary System truly possesses the power to change destiny."
"That Old Poison Dugu Bo, having been fooled by this girl like this, is now completely tied to Dante's chariot."
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: A little interesting.]
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: @I Want to Live Past Thirty, congratulations, it seems you really can live past thirty. However, since you borrowed the name of Dante's 'fictional Master,' this debt of gratitude has now become Dante's.]
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: In the future, if your grandpa tries to repay the favor by bundling you up and giving you to Dante, I think you'd be happy to go, right?]
Dugu Yan, whose hidden thoughts had been exposed, rolled around on the bed clutching her quilt, her cheeks burning, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"If he wants to send me, then so be it..."
