Chapter 1044
"this."
Dugu Bo looked somewhat embarrassed, but since Ye Qiu didn't intend to say anything more about the person who retrieved the medicine, he didn't press further.
So I simply changed the question.
"Excuse me for being so bold as to ask your name, my benefactor?"
"Name?"
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
You can call me Ye Xiu.
"I've got it."
Dugu Bo nodded solemnly. He would never forget this name in his life! With a single glance, he could move mountains and shatter the sky; with a single glance, he could kill enemies and offer sacrifices. He might never witness such a shocking power in anyone else in his life.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu frowned.
It seems he doesn't even have time to stay here any longer. Under Ye Qiu's gaze, which covers the entire Sunset Forest, Bibi Dong, who is heading deeper into the forest, seems to have encountered trouble.
--------------
Roar--!
A furious roar broke through the barrier formed by the surrounding trees.
A purple-clad figure retreated abruptly.
Those violet-like eyes were fixed on the giant beast before them—it was none other than a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Ironclad Steel Bear!
Its body stood six meters tall, covered entirely in dark, black iron-like scales. The edges of its heavy armor gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, as if it were clad in natural meteorite iron armor. The bulging muscles of its shoulders and back rippled beneath the scales, each step causing the ground to sink and ancient trees to tremble. Its crimson, ferocious eyes burned like in a furnace, its blood-red fangs clashed like guillotines, and its breath carried a suffocating, oppressive aura.
"Oh no!" Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. "It's actually a soul beast that's over 37,000 years old! Oh no!"
The voice has not fallen,
A gigantic, stone-slab-like hand tore through the air, crashing down on her head with a deafening roar! Bibi Dong hastily summoned her Death Spider Emperor spirit; five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—flashed brightly, barely managing to dodge to the side. Boom!
The giant hand brushed past them, and the ancient tree that the two of them could hug burst open in the middle, sending wood chips flying like rain.
Bibi Dong frowned and looked around—at this moment, the ghosts and Yue Guan who should have been guarding her side were nowhere to be seen…
"Roar--!"
--------------
Ye Qiu witnessed the entire battle between Bibi Dong and Iron Bear.
"My benefactor."
Dugu Bo's voice rang out, but he hesitated to speak.
Ye Qiu withdrew his attention from Bibi Dong and looked at Dugu Bo in front of him. "Senior Dugu, it seems you still have a question for me. Is it the backlash of snake venom caused by the defect of your Dugu family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul?"
"Excellent! My benefactor, please save my Dugu family! Dugu Bo is willing to lead the Dugu family to serve you for generations to come!"
Dugu Bo spoke with genuine emotion, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to kneel on one knee. He, Dugu Bo, had always been arrogant, but when faced with an unparalleled expert like Ye Qiu, even that arrogance became laughable.
If any family were to follow a powerful figure like our benefactor, they would undoubtedly soar to great heights! What is the Spirit Hall compared to that?
With a slight thought from Ye Qiu, Dugu Bo's knees could no longer touch the ground and slowly straightened up. A hint of apology appeared on Ye Qiu's face.
"Senior Dugu, there's no need for that. Treating your snake venom is certainly no problem, but I have urgent business to attend to and cannot treat you right now. However, if you trust me, when the time comes and someone comes to collect the medicine, that will be the time when your Dugu family is freed."
Dugu Bo's expression shifted from disappointment to surprise, then to some difficulty.
"My benefactor, I can certainly persevere, but my useless son at home might leave before me." (End of Chapter)
