As the sun set and dusk fell, at the gates of Heaven Dou City.
Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had already been waiting for quite some time.
"Ahem, Your Excellency Poison Douluo, Miss Dugu Yan."
"My apologies, I had some insights today and arrived late."
Yunxiao, who was "fashionably late," also coughed lightly, trying to mask his embarrassment.
Originally, he had agreed with Dugu Bo to set out in the afternoon, but he had been indulging with Qian Renxue until sunset.
One could only say that Qian Renxue, the Sacred Fallen Angel, was too captivating.
Not only did she drain him to the core, but she also transformed him into a Sacred Fallen Angel Knight.
Having such a girlfriend was truly his fortune.
No wonder there was a saying that the king would not attend court early.
"Not at all, Your Excellency Elf, you are too polite!"
"After all, it is I who am seeking your help. Waiting a little longer is no big deal."
Compared to resolving the Jade Scale Serpent Venom that plagued his family, Yunxiao's "tardiness" was a trivial matter that Dugu Bo didn't mind.
"Huh, Your Excellency Elf!"
"Why are there red spots on your neck?"
"Were you bitten by insects?"
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Dugu Yan also noticed something unusual about Yunxiao.
With that, she took out some ointment from her soul tool and handed it to Yunxiao.
Thinking that the three of them might have to spend the night in the Sunset Forest, Dugu Yan had prepared some supplies in advance.
These ointments, designed to repel insects, ants, and snakes, were part of her meticulous preparations.
Yunxiao: "..."
Seeing the ointment Dugu Yan handed him, Yunxiao felt somewhat awkward.
These were not insect bites.
They were clearly marks left by a certain Sacred Fallen Angel.
Ever since Qian Renxue started playing some strange and mischievous games with him, this golden-haired little angel had become increasingly fallen.
Now, this golden-haired little angel not only wanted to take the lead but also made him experience being a Sacred Fallen Angel Knight flying in the sky today.
Even if one day, this golden-haired little angel did something even stranger or more outrageous, he wouldn't be surprised.
"Miss Dugu, no need to worry."
"It's just a minor issue. It will heal in a while."
After declining the ointment Dugu Yan offered, the three of them left the gates of Heaven Dou City and headed straight for the Sunset Forest.
Time passed unnoticed, and it was already night.
With the strength of Yunxiao and Dugu Bo, both Titled Douluo, unless they encountered a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the two of them could practically roam freely in the Sunset Forest.
Because of this, the three of them not only safely reached the Sunset Forest but also quickly arrived at the entrance to Dugu Bo's garden.
"The Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire..."
Seeing the toxic miasma that filled the entire valley before him, Yunxiao's mind began to stir.
As one of the three famous treasure troves of the Douluo Continent, the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, which had been a pivotal location throughout tens of thousands of years of history, naturally piqued Yunxiao's interest.
Setting aside the Immortal Herbs that could transform one's body and soul, this treasure land, formed from the fall of the dual Dragon Kings of Ice and Fire, could not only enhance his strength but also evolve his demi-plane.
"Perhaps, I can take advantage of this opportunity."
"I need to take good care of my 'home'."
Thinking about his vast "home," Yunxiao pondered silently in his heart.
At that moment, Dugu Bo took out a rather unsightly, pitch-black pill from his soul tool and handed it over.
"Yan Yan, there are toxic barriers set up by your grandfather outside."
"With your current strength, you can't withstand these toxins."
"This is an antidote pill I made. Although it doesn't look great, its effect is excellent."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Upon seeing the antidote pill in Dugu Bo's hand, Dugu Yan fell into silence.
Could this pitch-black thing really be eaten?
Would she get diarrhea after eating it?
Indeed, her grandfather was unreliable.
Seeing Dugu Yan's suspicious and disdainful gaze, Dugu Bo's old face turned red.
Although the appearance of the pill he concocted was indeed a bit poor, wasn't the effect what mattered?
"Yan Yan, the appearance of this antidote pill is indeed a bit lacking, but its effect is still good..."
Seeing Dugu Yan's hesitation and resistance to the antidote pill he made, Dugu Bo felt quite frustrated.
It seemed he would need to put more effort into the appearance of his concoctions in the future.
Fortunately, it was Dugu Yan who was disapproving of Dugu Bo's antidote pill.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, Dugu Bo might have to teach them a lesson about the principles of a Titled Douluo.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, let me handle this."
Seeing the hesitant Dugu Yan and the helpless Dugu Bo, Yunxiao found their behavior quite amusing.
"Six-Winged Elf King Martial Soul, manifest!"
"Elf King Domain, purify!"
In an instant, Yunxiao's aura underwent a dramatic transformation.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.
The nine terrifying Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.
Six wings appeared on his back, trembling slightly.
In a flash, a pure and powerful Soul Power radiated from Yunxiao, spreading out in all directions.
The toxic barriers Dugu Bo had set up in the valley began to rapidly dissolve upon encountering Yunxiao's Martial Soul Domain purification, as if they had met their natural enemy, clearing a path.
If Yunxiao hadn't intentionally controlled the range of the purification, the entire valley's toxic barriers would have been completely purified in no time.
"Hiss..."
"Your Excellency Elf's Soul Ring configuration is indeed eight black and one red..."
Seeing Yunxiao's Soul Ring configuration, Dugu Bo was so shocked that he felt a chill run down his spine, taking a sharp breath.
Although he had heard about it from Dugu Yan before.
But that was just hearsay.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it.
There really was someone with such a defying the heavens Soul Ring configuration.
At this moment, Dugu Bo even began to suspect whether this Your Excellency Elf had a twin Martial Soul.
Otherwise, how could a single Martial Soul possess such a heaven-defying Soul Ring configuration? It might attract the covetousness of some major forces.
As Dugu Bo was thinking this, when he saw the Six-Winged Elf Martial Soul behind Yunxiao, his expression became extremely peculiar.
"But then again!"
"Your Excellency Elf's Six-Winged Elf King Martial Soul!"
"Is it truly not the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul of the Angel Clan from the Spirit Hall?"
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's insight was naturally far beyond that of novices like Dugu Yan.
He was well aware of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, the hereditary Martial Soul of the Angel Clan from the Spirit Hall.
When comparing Your Excellency Elf's Six-Winged Elf King Martial Soul to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul of the Angel Clan, one couldn't say they were merely similar—they were identical.
If there was any difference at all, it was simply that one was male and the other female.
Your Excellency Elf's Six-Winged Elf Martial Soul was male, while the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul of the Angel Clan from the Spirit Hall was female.
