Chapter 31: One Punch to Knock Out Dugu Bo, Xie Hu, Xiao Bai: Boss, didn't we agree to win people over with kindness...
Ye Wen was getting really frustrated with the whole dancing thing. If he kept going, he wondered if he might end up turning into a transvestite.
"We're leaving, Xiao Bai, Xie Hu."
"Alright, Boss!"
"Let's go!"
The three quickly left the academy.
Ye Wen said, "Tian Shui Academy gives a two-and-a-half-month break once a year. This time, we're going out to handle the immortal herbs and the City of Slaughter matters."
"Is the time enough?" Xiao Bai asked.
"It should be enough."
Before long, the three left Tian Shui City, heading straight for the Sunset Forest near the capital of the Tiandou Empire, Tian Dou City.
The immortal herbs were a crucial part of Tang San's development, but they were equally important for Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai's human form and strength.
The immortal herbs not only provided a huge boost to soul power but also greatly enhanced the future speed of soul power growth.
So this time, Ye Wen was determined to get them.
The immortal herbs were located in a place called the Sunset Forest.
The Sunset Forest was also a gathering place for soul beasts. It did not belong to the Spirit Hall nor the Empire; it was a dangerous place, and very few Soul Masters dared to enter it to hunt soul beasts or gather soul rings.
This was because the Sunset Forest was filled with a vast amount of green toxic mist, which could even kill a Soul Saint-level Soul Master.
The forest was also inhabited by all sorts of poisonous soul beasts, each at least a thousand years old.
Additionally, there lived a 92nd-level Title Douluo who was renowned for his mastery of poison, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.
For this reason, no one dared to hunt soul beasts here.
The immortal herbs grew in the heart of the forest, near a spring called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was also the location of the Poison Douluo's private residence, where he trained in his poison techniques.
At this moment, Dugu Bo had no idea that three uninvited guests were about to come and steal all of his precious herbs. He was currently admiring the magical aura of the immortal herbs.
Most of these herbs were extremely poisonous, and Dugu Bo didn't dare to eat or use them. People had very little knowledge of these herbs, and Dugu Bo feared that consuming them could be deadly.
Although he didn't dare to eat them, he knew these herbs were extraordinary and would admire them daily, treating them like treasures.
After several days of travel, Ye Wen and the others finally arrived at the Sunset Forest. Looking at the vast toxic mist forest before them, they all revealed wicked smiles.
"Hehe, Boss, just like you said, each of these immortal herbs is worth a fortune. If we take them all, won't Dugu Bo be so angry that he'll puke blood?" Xie Hu said, grinning.
"I don't know about puking blood, but if the immortal herbs stay here, that old guy won't use them. Leaving them here is just a waste!" Ye Wen said.
"Xiao Bai, Xie Hu, once we go in, let's try to win them over with kindness," Ye Wen said.
"Win them over with kindness? Got it, Boss!"
"Let's go!"
The three switched to half-human forms, donned black cloaks to cover their bodies, and quickly rushed into the toxic mist.
The toxic mist wouldn't stop Title Douluo-level powerhouses, and the thousand-year soul beasts inside wouldn't be able to block their path either.
They charged ahead, and before long, they arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye resembled a giant hole formed by a massive meteor strike. The area was surrounded by stone walls, with only one entrance.
At this moment, Ye Wen and the others stood outside the entrance.
"We're here for the immortal herbs!" Ye Wen said.
The three walked boldly inside.
At this moment, inside, aside from Dugu Bo, there was also his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was about six years older than Tang San, meaning she was around 14 years old.
Dugu Yan occasionally came to train her poison techniques under Dugu Bo, as the training here was more effective.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! I feel like my poison skills have improved again!" Dugu Yan said excitedly, pulling on Dugu Bo's arm.
"Hahaha, my granddaughter is the best!" Dugu Bo laughed while fondling her, clearly doting on her.
The grandfather and granddaughter shared a harmonious moment, but just then, Ye Wen and the others arrived, breaking the peace.
"Hm?"
Dugu Bo immediately sensed someone had entered. His expression turned cold.
Noticing her grandfather's change in expression, Dugu Yan quickly asked, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Someone has entered," Dugu Bo's gaze turned as cold as a snake's. Only he and his granddaughter were supposed to be here. No one else should be able to get in!
"What? Who could it be?"
"Heh, no matter who they are, anyone who dares to trespass into my private training grounds is dead!" Dugu Bo said, his murderous intent rising.
Soon, Ye Wen and the others appeared before Dugu Bo.
"Oh, that girl... Could it be Dugu Yan?" Ye Wen said, surprised, carefully examining the girl beside Dugu Bo.
She was beautiful, with short, deep purple hair. She had a heroic aura, and while not overwhelmingly stunning, her appearance had a mysterious charm that no other woman possessed.
"Heh, who are these ignorant fools daring to barge into my private estate? Are you seeking death?" Dugu Bo said coldly.
Xie Hu replied, "So you're Dugu Bo? Calm down. We just came to take a few of your rare herbs. We'll take them and leave."
"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo laughed arrogantly, full of disdain. "You want to take my things? Do you really think I'll give them to you? Hm?"
Dugu Bo's body instantly radiated murderous intent. He was someone who could kill without a second thought. Aside from him and his granddaughter, anyone who entered here would be considered dead.
Sensing Dugu Bo's intentions, Xiao Bai tried to intervene, as Ye Wen had instructed them to win people over with kindness: "Wait! Dugu Bo, don't act rashly! Let's talk this out!"
"Talk? Go die!!" Dugu Bo jumped into the air, his fist charged with poison, and he hurled it toward them, with a terrifying momentum and murderous aura.
At that moment, Ye Wen's body also shot up at an incredible speed, appearing before Dugu Bo and landing a fierce punch that knocked Dugu Bo to the ground.
"Ahhh!"
Boom!
Dugu Bo cried out in pain as he was slammed into the ground.
"??????" Dugu Bo was stunned. "How is this possible..."
His body crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. He was bleeding everywhere, and in a short while, he rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth, passing out.
Seeing Dugu Bo in such a pitiful state, Xie Hu and Xiao Bai were both stunned. They couldn't help but twitch their lips.
"Boss... didn't we agree to win people over with kindness?"
