Chapter 27: Detox Pill as Seasoning, Azure Scale Dragon

"I'm a support-type soul master, what's wrong?"

Bai Ran recalled that he had never shown the ability of the White Banner in front of Du Gu Bo.

"There's a problem, my Bamboo Leaf Green snake can rival an ordinary thousand-year soul beast; how did you catch it and put it in the clay pot to stew?"

As everyone knows, snakes are cold-blooded animals and cannot be tamed.

Even as strong as Du Gu Bo, he relies on the bloodline suppression of the Azure Scale Snake Emperor to keep these poisonous snakes from acting recklessly.

Switch to Bai Ran?

He's likely to get bitten as soon as he reaches out.

"Isn't this simple enough?"

Bai Ran gestured for Du Gu Bo to put him down.

"Simple? I'd like to see how simple it is."

After letting go, watching Bai Ran walk to the snake-breeding device, Du Gu Bo had already begun to feel out an antidote.

Although he complained verbally, if this little guy were really poisoned down, those poisonous snakes might all end up in the stew pot for a reunion.

……

Standing before the snake-breeding device, facing the several differently colored "spicy strips" inside.

Only saw Bai Ran swiftly strike, pinching the snake at its seventh inch, then pulling it out.

"Hmm, one snake isn't enough for three people; let's roast another to eat."

"Hey old man, do you have any seasonings? Roasted snake without cumin and chili just isn't tasty."

Bai Ran held a silver-ringed snake longer than his arm, looking at Du Gu Bo and said.

"Kid, you..."

Du Gu Bo was embarrassed.

Holding the detox pill, he didn't know whether to hand it over or put it away.

Or simply sprinkle it on while roasting the silver-ringed snake; maybe it'll add some flavor.

……

During the meal

At first, Du Gu Yan scoffed at this so-called snake soup and charcoal-grilled snake meat.

If she were seven or eight years old, seeing her favorite snake pet turned into a dish would surely make her cry a little.

But after tasting a bite.

Du Gu Yan was instantly judged by the law of true fragrance, ate a mouthful and still wanted another.

Du Gu Yan: Never mind red-braised or steamed, this little thing is indeed tasty, why hadn't I noticed before? (It must be because Grandpa's cooking skills are too poor.) Compared to Du Gu Yan's initial reserve, as Grandpa, Du Gu Bo had no such scruples.

At most it's just a bit regrettable.

After all, these are excellent items with top-tier poisonous properties; even if soaked in alcohol, they have strengthening and health benefits.

Using them to make food just to satisfy appetite? Wasteful, too wasteful.

But don't say it, a nine-year-old's cooking is actually this delicious.

Du Gu Bo: I remember this kid isn't a food-type support soul master either.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, it's time to get down to business.

After the meal, Du Gu Bo had Bai Ran produce a portion of the "Shrek Seven Monsters Happy Pill".

"Here, just the right amount."

Bai Ran again divided out one-tenth of the original total, which is a single serving.

If one asks why it's one-tenth, couldn't we be more generous and give more? According to feedback from the Human Emperor Banner martial soul, one-tenth of the total is just the right critical point.

Too much would cause the medicinal potency to dissipate, and if the consumer's constitution is weaker, it might also damage the meridians;

Too little would mean insufficient medicinal power, failing to achieve the desired effect.

Moreover, although this pill blends the essences of more than ten immortal herbs, it can unleash their medicinal effects.

However, just like the limitation of immortal herbs, this heaven-defying pill, after one use, the effect of a second use is almost nil.

Otherwise, why would Bai Ran take it out to share?

If he just ate it all himself, he could instantly become a Title Douluo, wouldn't that be great? "What is this, a sugar cube?" It looks similar to the product sold in stores, so Du Gu Yan instinctively thought Bai Ran bought it with his pocket money.

In response, Du Gu Yan smiled, took this "candy" from Bai Ran's hand.

He casually put it in his mouth and chewed.

Hmm, it has a herbal taste, much like the licorice candy Lingling often gives me.

Speaking of this candy, could it be the one Ye Lingling gave to my little brother?

Du Gu Yan: Why does it mysteriously have a sour taste?

"'Little brother, your sugar cube seems off.'"

Not long after eating it, Du Gu Yan immediately felt his body heat up.

This situation is very similar to the scene in novels where a female character is drugged.

Du Gu Yan glanced at his nonchalant grandfather beside him, then at his little brother who likewise showed no change in facial expression.

Considering women's safety, even if she were truly drugged, these two couldn't do anything to her.

One is her only biological grandfather, the other is a little brother who hasn't even grown hair yet.

(Even if it's the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, the protagonist Huo Yuhao)

"'This isn't originally a sugar cube.'"

Bai Ran said somewhat helplessly.

This thing, its potency is indeed strong.

Otherwise, Du Gu Bo wouldn't have asked him after finishing whether he added aphrodisiac herbs inside.

"What is this? A pill made by rubbing fire-attribute herbs."

So hot, if it weren't for Grandpa this elder being here.

Du Gu Yan probably wouldn't say: Bai Ran, come over~ "No, my soul power..."

In an instant, soul power level broke through to rank thirty and kept breaking through.

However, without obtaining a soul ring, Du Gu Yan also doesn't know exactly what rank his soul power has reached.

At the very least it's in the thirty-eight ranks or above, possibly reaching forty.

Breaking from rank twenty-nine Soul Elder straight to rank forty Soul Ancestor in an instant—what kind of cheat speed is this? Even light novels wouldn't dare write it like that.

"Little brother, what exactly did you give me to eat?"

Du Gu Yan's emotions at this moment were nothing but shock.

"Grandpa, come pinch me—I suspect I'm dreaming."

……

"Not Old Biden, you really pinched me, and with such force."

Hearing his granddaughter's dissatisfied muttering and seeing that resentful little glance.

Du Gu Bo: Obviously you asked me to pinch, I pinched and you're not happy, fine.

"Huh, my martial soul turned into a little green dragon."

As for the dragon's appearance, Du Gu Yan is quite familiar with it, because his boyfriend Yu Tianheng's martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a dragon-type martial soul.

But now, how did my martial soul also turn into an ink-green dragon?

Humph, can't even stick out its tongue, completely not as cute as a little snake, thumbs down.

"This, this is, Azure Scale Dragon!"

Du Gu Yan not knowing doesn't mean Du Gu Bo doesn't know either.

The toxin of the Azure Scale Snake, compared to the Azure Scale Dragon, is utterly insignificant.

However, unlike the defective martial soul of the Azure Scale Snake that conducts toxin to the soul master himself,

As a dragon-type martial soul, the Azure Scale Dragon stores toxin on its scales and dragon claws.

In the future, if someone makes Du Gu Yan unhappy, this claw strike will make a soul master of the same level as her fall asleep on the spot.
