Chapter 28: Distributing Immortal Herbs! Song Ye Becomes the Leader!
"Hmm?"
After Song Ye finished that series of arguments, Dugu Bo was directly stunned.
Good grief. He had only allowed Song Ye to speak out of respect for Chen Xin, but he did not expect it to be so difficult to refute.
Although he was indeed the first to discover it, whether in legal or moral terms, he could not truly be considered the owner of this herb garden.
At most, he was just the first to eat the crab. Until a conclusion was reached, this herb garden belonged to no one.
Dugu Bo was immediately a bit embarrassed. "This…"
"You brat, your tongue is quite sharp!"
Seeing this, Chen Xin also nodded. At first, he only brought Song Ye because of Ning Rongrong.
But he did not expect this boy to react quickly and be sharp-minded, far from ordinary.
He was very satisfied and also said to Dugu Bo, "Old poisoner, stop talking nonsense."
"Tell me, is there anything wrong with what this boy said?"
"If you really bought this land, then according to reason, we would not dare act rashly."
"But if you actually have no ownership, then what right do you have to talk about this herb garden belonging to you? Since we discovered it, we naturally have the right to enter!
"This… uh…"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo knew he had to accept defeat today.
Song Ye's words were only auxiliary; the main reason was that Chen Xin was here, and he could not defeat him. In the face of the treasures of the world, those capable would possess them.
In the past, Dugu Bo could hide this herb garden and keep it undiscovered; nothing could be said about it.
But now that another Titled Douluo had seen it, how could he keep it?
Not to mention reasoning; even if they simply seized it by force, it would not be unusual on the Douluo Continent.
Dugu Bo sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Fine, let's treat it as sharing among those who see it."
"Since you have come here, I cannot monopolize the herb garden."
"Sword Douluo, you must have come prepared this time. I cannot win this argument."
"But I must say this clearly: no matter what, I discovered this herb garden first, and I still need it!"
"You may take any herbs you want, but you cannot completely occupy the herb garden. Otherwise, even if I am not your match, I will still fight you to the death!"
At this point, Dugu Bo was not entirely submissive. He still expressed some firmness.
There was no choice because he suffered from the poison of his martial soul. Without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressing the poison, he would not live much longer.
Those immortal herbs and spiritual medicines did not matter, since Dugu Bo could not use them anyway. The key was preserving the life-saving environment.
Hearing this, Chen Xin looked at Song Ye and asked, "What do you think?"
Song Ye thought for a moment, understanding the situation, and looked at Dugu Bo.
"Poison Douluo, others may not know, but I do."
"These immortal herbs are actually useless to you. What you need is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the serpent poison within your body."
"How about this? I can teach you a method to transfer the serpent poison from your body, protecting yourself and even saving your granddaughter."
"That way, it will not be unfair for us to take this treasure land."
"Hmm?"
As soon as these words came out, Dugu Bo was immediately shocked, afraid he had misheard.
"Brat, what did you say?"
"How do you know about my…"
Song Ye smiled. "What's there to be surprised about such a small matter?"
"As long as you are willing to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I can ensure you and your descendants are completely safe. That is two lives."
"You!"
"Alright!" Dugu Bo had not expected this turn at all. If both his and his granddaughter Dugu Yan's lives could be saved, then what are the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or Immortal Herbs worth?
Life was the most important thing.
He immediately agreed and even personally led Song Ye and the others into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Upon arriving in the treasure land, amid extreme cold and heat, Xiao Wu and the others felt somewhat fearful and uncomfortable.
Song Ye said, "It's fine; we have two Titled Douluo guarding us."
Xiao Wu asked in surprise, "Song Ye, you understand poison too?"
"Can you really solve Dugu Bo's problem?"
Song Ye nodded, planning to follow Tang San's method from the original story.
The main principle was simply transferring the serpent poison into a soul bone. As for the details, Dugu Bo, being a master of poison, could handle it.
After hearing Song Ye's words, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing beside them were both surprised and delighted.
The two girls quickly asked Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, where did you find this person? He seems quite impressive."
"Yeah, he's not much older than us, yet he is knowledgeable and composed. His soul power level is probably not low either."
"Someone like this, as long as he isn't a womanizer, feels much better than those people from Shrek."
Influenced by the earlier light screen, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were now quite interested in men outside.
Anyone better than the Shrek team naturally caught their attention.
Although Song Ye had not known them for long, he had already displayed extensive knowledge and sharp thinking, and he even intended to repay Dugu Bo, showing his character was not bad.
As long as his soul power level was strong enough, no matter how one looked at it, he was far superior to those womanizers from Shrek.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Song Ye from afar and fell into thought, murmuring, "Indeed, he reminds me of Xiao San from back then."
"At that time, Xiao San also understood many things and knew how to act."
"It's just that now Xiao San…"
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu sighed softly and did not continue.
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo waited at the side, letting Song Ye identify the Immortal Herbs.
Because in the original Douluo story, the appearances of those Immortal Herbs had already been described. Some were described in the first part, others in later parts.
In any case, according to the original descriptions, identifying them was not difficult.
Dugu Bo looked forward to Song Ye helping him and his granddaughter remove the poison. At this moment, as a Titled Douluo, he also noticed the anomaly of Xiao Wu being a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
He wanted to ask, but Chen Xin directly said, "If it should not be asked, then do not ask!"
"When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect acts, old poisoner, you'd better stay out of it."
Dugu Bo nodded, not intending to get involved. With his strength, he could not defeat other Titled Douluo anyway, so it was better to behave.
After that, Song Ye found all the needed immortal herbs and pointed them out one by one:
"Xiao Wu, this one is Yearning Heartbroken Red. It requires true love to pick."
"I don't care who is in your heart; you must focus and pick it, continuously recalling feelings of love. Only then can you succeed."
Seeing that red and white Immortal Herb, Xiao Wu felt somewhat nervous. As Song Ye spoke, she had already thought of Tang San.
However, for some reason, perhaps due to the influence of the light screen, or perhaps due to comparison with Song Ye, Xiao Wu felt momentarily conflicted and even began to question Tang San.
Yet, love is rarely something constant. As long as the moment of picking the flower is filled with love, that is enough.
Xiao Wu began to pick Yearning Heartbroken Red. Song Ye continuously assisted at the side, mentioning Tang San's good points and how he had cared for her, allowing her to temporarily forget his flaws.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu still had Tang San in her heart.
In less than a moment, Yearning Heartbroken Red had been picked and lay quietly in Xiao Wu's hands, like a sleeping beauty…
