Returning to her room, Ye Xi sat by the window, took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from her storage bracelet, and began to study it carefully.
"I remember that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud seems to require a drop of blood for recognition," Ye Xi muttered to herself, then used her fingernail to nick her fingertip, squeezing out a drop of crimson blood and letting it fall onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
As the blood dripped, it strangely merged into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and within the originally crystal-clear triangular body, faint traces of blood appeared.
A somewhat illusory figure quietly floated out from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, silently observing Ye Xi.
"How many years has it been…?"
"I've finally found someone who can withstand my Han Hai Qian Kun Power."
A somewhat aged and emotional voice emanated from the illusory figure's mouth, and his gaze, as he observed Ye Xi, was filled with admiration.
The illusory figure was a wisp of Divine Thought left behind by Sea God, intended to find a suitable Legacy for Sea God.
He had been in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for an unknown number of years, and now he had finally encountered someone who could withstand the Han Hai Qian Kun Power and become Sea God's Legacy.
But soon, the illusory figure's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze constantly swept over Ye Xi, as if he had discovered something strange.
"This Young Miss actually possesses the aura of a Divinity."
"But I can't discern which Divinity it is?"
The illusory figure frowned, deep contemplation appearing in his eyes.
At this moment, Ye Xi raised her head, her gaze directed towards the illusory figure's position.
But the instant Ye Xi raised her head, the illusory figure returned to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, as if he had never appeared?
"Why do I feel like I'm being spied on?"
Ye Xi muttered to herself, a hint of confusion appearing in her azure eyes.
"Is it that old man, Sea God?"
Ye Xi thought to herself, reaching out to pick up the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, her gaze constantly scrutinizing it.
And within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the illusory figure's gaze also penetrated through the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, looking at Ye Xi.
"Hmm…"
"Should I try to snatch the Legacy?"
The illusory figure pondered, a fleeting thought appearing in his eyes.
"Forget it, I'll report the matter to my true self and let him decide."
As the illusory figure finished speaking, he closed his eyes, no longer looking at Ye Xi outside.
"Why is there no reaction at all?"
Ye Xi shook the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in her hand, and seeing that there was still no reaction, she put the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud back into her storage bracelet.
Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had no reaction in her hand, since the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had come into her, Ye Xi's, possession, it was hers, and there was no possibility of returning it.
After all, others might not know what the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud truly was, but Ye Xi knew it very well: the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, also known as the Sea God's Heart, was an important item for inheriting Sea God's God Position.
It could even be said that as long as one obtained the Sea God's Heart, one had almost obtained half of Sea God's God Position.
Ye Xi rose from her seat, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her azure eyes, and began to Cultivate through meditation.
About two hours later, a knocking sound, "thump, thump, thump," came from the room door.
Ye Xi's eyes gradually opened, she got off the bed, walked directly to the door, and reached out to open it.
When the door opened, Ye Xi saw two people standing at the entrance: one was Ling Yuan, and the other was Dugu Bo.
"Young Miss."
Ling Yuan looked at Ye Xi, who had opened the door, and called out softly.
"Hmm."
"Come in and sit."
Ye Xi looked at Dugu Bo at the door and made a welcoming gesture with her hand.
Ling Yuan and Dugu Bo entered the room, Dugu Bo sat down in front of Ye Xi, while Ling Yuan silently stood behind Ye Xi.
"Poison Douluo Senior."
"Have you made up your mind about coming to see me?"
Ye Xi poured a cup of clear tea and pushed it towards Dugu Bo.
"Yes, this old man has thought it through."
"The medicine garden in Sunset Forest will be yours, and I can serve you for ten years."
Dugu Bo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "But the prerequisite is that you need to detoxify me and my granddaughter."
As Dugu Bo spoke, his gaze directly met Ye Xi's azure eyes.
"That's natural."
"But the detoxification will have to wait for a while; I still have some matters to attend to, and I can only detoxify you after I've handled them."
Ye Xi nodded gently, agreeing very straightforwardly, without any hesitation.
"This old man can afford to wait that long."
Every single word, every single hair, every single piece of content is all in one look!
"Also, does what you said yesterday still count?"
Dugu Bo looked at Ye Xi seriously, his tone full of earnestness.
"What I said, of course, counts."
"I will not restrict your freedom, and unless necessary, I will not arrange for you to do anything."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Xi's delicate face.
"With your words, this old man is relieved."
Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction, a rare smile appearing on his somewhat aged face.
Dugu Bo was very pleased with this outcome; while detoxifying the Bi Lin Snake Poison, he could also retain his freedom to the greatest extent.
And Ye Xi was equally pleased with this outcome; with Dugu Bo's addition, she would have more room to maneuver in the vast Heaven Dou City.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
"If you need me to handle anything, just send someone to my courtyard."
Dugu Bo stood up, preparing to leave.
"Once I've handled my affairs, I will visit Poison Douluo Senior's courtyard."
Ye Xi stood up, just about to see Dugu Bo off, when she saw Dugu Bo wave his hand gently.
"No need to see me off."
With that, Dugu Bo walked straight out of the room with his hands behind his back.
After Dugu Bo left, Ling Yuan, who had been standing behind Ye Xi, looked at Ye Xi with admiration.
"Second Miss, you are truly amazing; with just a few words, you made Dugu Bo willingly serve you for ten years."
"Among the entire younger generation, you are the second most astonishing person I have ever seen."
Ling Yuan looked at Ye Xi, her voice filled with praise.
"Is the first my older sister?"
Ye Xi looked at Ling Yuan; although she was asking, her tone was very certain.
"Yes, that's right, the first is Young Lord."
"Young Lord left Spirit City and came to this Heaven Dou Empire when she was about your age now."
Ling Yuan nodded gently, a hint of emotion appearing in her eyes.
"Hmm, my older sister is truly amazing."
Ye Xi walked to the window, her gaze passing through the window towards the Tiandou Royal Palace, praising sincerely.
Ling Yuan, however, remained standing still, quietly watching Ye Xi by the window.
