Chapter 86: You Can Call Me Young Master Ye, I Can Take It

"Bi Lin Snake Emperor, that's not a bad martial soul, but your martial soul has a huge defect, one that can even be passed down to descendants."

Ye Feng casually conjured an Ice Frost Throne, sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at Dugu Bo with a smiling gaze.

"Sir, you mean my granddaughter's inherited Bi Lin Snake also has a defect!!!"

Dugu Bo abruptly raised his head, his eyes widening instantly, clearly finding it hard to accept.

"Of course, the Bi Lin Snake martial soul inherently has a huge defect. Your martial soul must have received some opportunity, advancing to Bi Ling Snake Emperor, which is why you've lived this long."

"If I'm not mistaken, your son died from the backlash of his martial soul, right?"

"You think your granddaughter didn't inherit the Bi Lin Snake's defect, but I tell you, it's not that she didn't—it's that your granddaughter's cultivation is too shallow, and the Bi Lin Snake hasn't grown yet."

"If your granddaughter's martial soul cannot advance to Bi Lin Snake Emperor like yours, then when she advances to Soul Emperor will be the day she dies suddenly!"

Ye Feng spoke calmly as before.

"How... how could..."

As Ye Feng's words fell, Dugu Bo's complexion instantly became extremely ugly.

Because Ye Feng was right—his son died young due to the Bi Lin Snake poison, and his daughter-in-law was also affected by the toxins, not living long, leaving only one granddaughter.

This was also why he valued Dugu Yan so much.

Dugu Yan was his only descendant, and his lifeline; concerning Dugu Yan's safety, how could he not be anxious!

He had observed Dugu Yan, and the other party seemed to show no signs of poisoning; he had thought Dugu Yan's martial soul hadn't inherited the Bi Lin Snake's defect, but he never expected...

It wasn't that there wasn't one, but that it hadn't flared up yet!

"Thump..."

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo directly abandoned his last shred of dignity, with a thud, directly kneeling before Ye Feng.

"Please save my granddaughter, Sir. As long as my granddaughter is safe and sound, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to pay any price!"

Dugu Bo clenched his fists tightly!

Although he knew the other party might be manipulating him, he had no choice, because he indeed was being manipulated.

As long as his granddaughter could overcome the crisis, he was willing to pay any price!

"No need for that. I have a way to cure the martial soul defect of you and your granddaughter. I won't use this to threaten you; I just want to make a deal with you."

Seeing Dugu Bo's attitude, Ye Feng was instantly satisfied in his heart, though he didn't go too far.

If it were a threat, Dugu Bo would definitely obey, but would inevitably harbor resentment in his heart.

But if it were a deal, Dugu Bo would not only cooperate but also be grateful to him.

The latter was what Ye Feng wanted.

"Please make it clear, Sir!"

Dugu Bo was still kneeling on the ground, with a very low posture.

"I actually come from a hidden sect called Xingchen Sect, but this generation of Xingchen Sect needs to emerge into the world, and I am the representative of Xingchen Sect."

"However, my family elders are not at ease with me, and they cannot protect me at all times, so they need to find a Protector of the Way..."

"Sir, you mean..." Ye Feng hadn't finished speaking when Dugu Bo slowly raised his head, clearly having guessed Ye Feng's plan.

"Mm. As a Shou Hao Dui Luo, you are qualified to be my Protector of the Way. If you're willing, the deal is done."

Seeing Dugu Bo was so cooperative, Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji each had their own matters.

Most importantly, they disliked humans more, so Ye Feng couldn't possibly bring them with him at all times.

Spending some price to hire a human Shou Hao Dui Luo was the most cost-effective.

Moreover, Dugu Bo had a weakness, and Ye Feng wasn't afraid of him betraying.

Even if the other party truly had second thoughts, with Ye Feng's current strength, he could hold out for a bit, then directly summon Di Tian to kill the other party...

Of course, unless Dugu Yan died suddenly for no reason, the probability of Dugu Bo having ill intentions was almost zero.

"Thank you, Sir, I agree to this condition!"

Dugu Bo kowtowed in thanks again, his tone even more joyful.

He had thought the other party would propose some excessive conditions, but he never expected the other party's requirements to be so simple.

Now, he no longer held any hatred toward Ye Feng and the others, but instead felt somewhat grateful.

If he hadn't met them, he probably wouldn't have known Dugu Yan also inherited the defect; at that time, his son's tragedy would definitely repeat, watching his granddaughter die from backlash...

That kind of pain, he didn't want to experience it again even if beaten to death!

Moreover, the other party came from such a powerful sect; if he could latch onto this line, then even if he died in the future, he could find a backer for Dugu Yan...

"Mm, then it's settled."

Ye Feng nodded, then looked at Zi Ji and Bi Ji beside him and said, "Sister Zi Ji, Sister Bi Ji, the development of Xingchen Sect still needs your trouble. You go back first."

"But, Young Master..."

Bi Ji and Zi Ji were somewhat worried upon hearing this.

Although they were indeed not very suitable to appear before humans, they could hide, with everyone taking turns on duty daily; protecting Ye Feng was more than enough.

"It's truly fine. You've worked hard. Rest for a while. I'll find you for help after some time~"

Ye Feng said with a smile.

Mainly because he wasn't used to the feeling of being monitored. With Bi Ji and Zi Ji's personalities, they would definitely spy on him in secret, and he was still somewhat uneasy.

"Alright..."

Although Bi Ji and Zi Ji were somewhat unwilling in their hearts, they also knew Ye Feng might dislike being monitored, so they simply agreed.

After all, Ye Feng had their "Summoning" method, plus Tianmu City was nearby. As long as Ye Feng actively summoned them or something happened, with their full burst, they could arrive within ten breaths.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji looked at Ye Feng somewhat reluctantly. Besides their fondness for Ye Feng, they were also reluctant about his Xue Xing. After all, as long as they were close to Ye Feng, their Xue Xing could slowly evolve...

And this effect was especially effective for the Dragon Clan; the more mixed the Xue Xing, the better the effect.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji guessed that Ye Feng treating the defect in Dugu Bo's Xue Xing should be done by subtly influencing it with his own Xue Xing.

He really got off cheap...

In the end, Bi Ji and Zi Ji still returned to Xingchen Sect.

"Hah... Sir, your Xingchen Sect is truly unfathomable..."

Feeling the two powerhouses leave, Dugu Bo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

It was just that the pressure from those two was too strong; they were absolutely terrifying powerhouses above Level 95, and there were two of them, and they also bore no small hostility toward him.

Even if he was a Shou Hao Dui Luo, he still couldn't withstand it somewhat.

"Mm, they are my elders, considered the weakest in strength; my other elders are all in seclusion using secret arts, and they came out of seclusion for me." Ye Feng said casually.

"What... they are still the weakest in strength..."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart once again surged with stormy waves; are Shou Hao Dui Luo really so worthless now...

There are only so many Shou Hao Dui Luo on the entire Douluo Continent; just how many does this Xingchen Sect actually have?

"Alright, don't call me Sir anymore; my name is Ye Feng, you can call me Young Master, I can take it." Ye Feng said indifferently.

Dugu Bo:...

"Yes, Young Master..."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, but he didn't refuse either; after all, he was originally a prisoner, and now he was even more in need of others.

He had lived so long that face and such naturally didn't matter, and his reputation was already dirt cheap on the street; losing face is just losing face, anyway no one dares say anything to his face.

"Alright, next we'll start solving the toxin problem in your body." Seeing Dugu Bo was so sensible, Ye Feng also nodded, planning to let Dugu Bo taste some sweetness first.
