Chapter 45: Frank Confession

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Dugu Yan, wrapped up tightly, now acted even more reclusive than Ye Lingling.

Not only did a black outfit and black veil wrap her now somewhat graceful figure tightly.

But furthermore, she almost never communicated with outsiders.

Dugu Yan gently stroked her emerald green short hair, and she looked again at her fingernails, which appeared emerald green...

She could not help but smile bitterly, "Perhaps this is my fate..."

Although Dugu Bo had been comforting her after learning of this matter.

Saying that he would find a way to detoxify her.

But...

If there really were a way, how could her father and mother have died from the eruption of their own toxins?

Therefore, Dugu Yan had already resigned herself to her fate.

She was just afraid that she would hurt Ning Feiliu.

So... calmly welcome death.

Just like this... until death.

It is... Ning Feiliu's voice.

It would be best if Ning Feiliu were disappointed in her, felt hatred toward her, and never had any contact with her for the rest of his life.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes, seemingly fantasizing about that beautiful moment.

She did not want to hurt Ning Feiliu, even if there was the slightest possibility of hurting him.

But Dugu Yan was just afraid...

Only, just at this moment...

At this moment, he was right outside.

"I cannot... cannot hurt Feiliu anymore, cannot touch him again," she said softly.

But fortunately for her, her death would not involve any pain when the time came.

And until she died from the toxin, Ning Feiliu would not know about this matter, and would continue to... live happily and joyfully.

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, she was streaming with tears.

Ning Feiliu had come again.

Although Dugu Bo had once said that she would be fine even if she touched others.

"Sister Yan!" A loud shout pulled her back from the fantasy of the afterlife to reality.

Perhaps it was just like sleeping; if there really were a world after death, maybe upon waking up, she would be able to see her father and mother waiting for her.

That was why she had treated Ning Feiliu so coldly last time, appearing as if she were someone who despised the weak and loved the strong.

Then, thinking of death as nothing more than a beautiful dream.

Accompanying her grandfather, spending this remaining life together, and then waiting for the day when death quietly arrived.

But why... why did Ning Feiliu come to find her again?

Since it was like this...

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and continued to pretend to be cold and heartless.

Then let it be like this once more... let Feiliu truly hate me.

Dugu Yan slowly stood up and came outside the training grounds; she watched Ye Lingling and Ning Feiliu standing together.

The two of them seemed to have become much closer over these past few days.

Dugu Yan suddenly felt a pain in her heart, but...

This is also good... as long as Feiliu has someone else, he will forget me, right?

It can only be said that if Ning Feiliu knew her current thoughts, he would probably have a familiar feeling...

How... is it so much like Yu Xiaogang's love story?

It can only be said that the Douluo Dalu of love-struck brains is indeed like this.

It was just that Ning Feiliu really did not know Dugu Yan's thoughts at this moment.

"What are you here for? Didn't I say that a Spirit Master of your soul power level is not worthy of being my friend?" Dugu Yan's cold voice slowly spoke out.

While saying this, she felt her own heart aching as well.

But she still continued to pretend to be disdainful and mocking, saying, "What is your soul power level, and what is mine? You still want to get involved with me? Besides, you are just an unwelcome disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while my grandfather is a Title Douluo!"

Having spent so much time together, Dugu Yan did not know that Ning Feiliu had a Sect Master father.

Ning Feiliu also had no intention of writing an essay titled "My Sect Master Father," and his life had always been relatively low-key and luxurious; he had even run out to open an ordinary medical clinic himself, and had no intention of spending money to hire other physicians or assistants to help.

He did not look like someone who had a Sect Master father at all.

Therefore, in Dugu Yan's view, Ning Feiliu was just an ordinary direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

When Ning Feiliu heard the words she said, he did not take them to heart.

After all, he knew that Dugu Yan was only being so distant toward him because she had learned about the condition of the toxins in her body.

Naturally, he would not be angry or care.

"Sister Yan..." Ning Feiliu shook his head helplessly and said, "You saw the experimental notes under my pillow that night, didn't you?"

"Wh... what experimental notes?" Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly denied it in a panic, saying, "How could I have seen any of your experimental notes? Don't overthink it; I just feel that you aren't worthy of me, that's all."

But seeing her like this, Ning Feiliu was already certain of his own thoughts.

He immediately said softly, "So Sister Yan is afraid of hurting me? I knew it... Sister Yan has always been a very kind, very good, and very cheerful person; you worry because you might hurt others, and you cry because of the suffering and illness of ordinary people..."

"You would absolutely not be the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, or admires the strong and bullies the weak."

Over the past half year, in Ning Feiliu's medical clinic, Dugu Yan would also feel pain because those commoners were sick, or cry for those who had died of illness.

Ning Feiliu saw all of this in his eyes; after all, no one is born a maniacal killer.

When the Shrek Seven Devils used San Ge's Hidden Weapon to kill the Fierce God Team in the original plot, they also felt uncomfortable and experienced vomiting because of it.

Dugu Yan herself was the same; in the original plot, she did not use the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison against the Shilake Zhandui right from the start.

It was only at the end, after seeing her teammates injured and becoming angry, that she used this lethal toxin.

Therefore, Dugu Yan is absolutely not the type of heartless person.

Upon hearing these words from Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

But... but...

She really cannot hurt Feiliu...

"You are wrong." Dugu Yan's gaze turned cold once again, and she said, "People change. When I come into contact with nothing but the pride of heaven, I realize that an ordinary person like you is not worthy of being my friend at all."

Ning Feiliu shook his head, then smiled and said, "Sister Yan... I have a way to save you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Yan was instantly stunned.

What? Feiliu... has a way to save me?

No... but even Grandfather has no way to save her...

How could Ning Feiliu possibly have a way to save her...

But...

Dugu Yan recalled the time she had spent with Ning Feiliu over the past half year; she had been watching Ning Feiliu save people the entire time.

Perhaps at the beginning, Ning Feiliu was helpless when facing those critically ill patients, but his medical skills soon became more and more exquisite, until the medicines he developed in the end could even save those on the verge of death.

Moreover, Feiliu is not the type of person to make empty boasts.

So...

Could it be that Feiliu really has a way to resolve the snake poison on her and save her?

When will the transformation happen... if you ask, it's soon. I won't stall the plot for too long; tomorrow is the confrontation (defense) with Dugu Bo, the day after tomorrow I enter the spring, and on Tuesday the martial soul will transform, that's about it.

Please understand, I didn't actually want to stall like this, but I didn't get a recommendation last week, so what could I do? If I didn't stall, it would be the end.

I will write at a faster pace from here on out, and at the same time, I will do something interesting: I'll bring out the Spirit Blossom Festival from Spirit Soul, allowing Dugu Yan to see her deceased parents.

The protagonist of this book is envisioned to head toward becoming the god of the Underworld. After becoming a god, he will likely construct an Underworld similar to the Spirit Blossom world of League of Legends and Douluo Dalu, becoming a supreme god like Aoxilisi in Egyptian mythology.

I'll reveal a bit of the outline first. Rest assured, I wrote 2.51 million words for my last Douluo fanfic and I didn't run away. Even though the follow-up subscriptions for that book were terrible, I still finished it, so my character is guaranteed.

However, I plan for this book to have a faster pace; 2 million words is impossible. I expect it to end at 1 million words. The outline is not as extensive as the last one, and I will also pick up the pace, so it will be much faster and won't drag on too much.
