Chapter 265: Chapter 261: Not Just a Music God, but Also a Divine Doctor? Xue Ke's Confession!_1
Facing the conditions offered by the Snow Night Emperor.
Luo Yu looked bewildered and did not respond for a moment.
After all, being offered a princess wife so abruptly caught him off guard. Who knew whether this old fellow had good intentions?
"Father Emperor, what are you saying~" Xue Ke's fair cheeks were flushed with red.
The Snow Night Emperor glanced at his daughter but ignored her.
He looked seriously at Luo Yu.
"Young friend Luo Yu, I am not joking," he said.
"If you can cure the severe poison in my body, not only will I give you the Boundless Universe Shield, but Princess Xue Ke can also be promised to you."
Luo Yu shook his head.
The Snow Night Emperor anxiously asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the conditions I have offered?"
Luo Yu said earnestly, "I think, as a father, one shouldn't use his own daughter as a bargaining chip, don't you think? It doesn't seem quite proper."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into sudden silence.
Poison Douluo was fine; he had long known Luo Yu's temperament.
If he was not satisfied, no one could indulge him.
As women, Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke felt differently about Luo Yu's words.
They felt respected and deeply resonated with Luo Yu.
Especially Luo Yu's calm confrontation with the Snow Night Emperor, which unexpectedly made their hearts flutter.
Especially Xue Ke, when she looked at Luo Yu, the affection at the bottom of her eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Sometimes even her own father used her as a chip for political marriage, but this man would not.
This touched Xue Ke deeply.
The Snow Night Emperor's face twitched. He had been ruling the Tiandou Empire for so many years.
No one had ever dared to oppose him.
Yet today, he had been repeatedly frustrated in front of this youngster.
He wanted to yell, "Are you telling your emperor how to handle matters?"
Then command Poison Douluo to go over and subdue this kid for a good thrashing.
But he held back.
Because the Snow Night Emperor now seriously doubted whether Poison Douluo would help him beat up this youngster if he gave the order.
Of course, what kept the Snow Night Emperor calm and composed was that Poison Douluo had said Luo Yu had a way to cure his poison.
Although he did not quite believe it.
After all, Luo Yu was too young. It wasn't possible that this guy was not only a genius musician but also a divine healer.
But, as an emperor who cherished his life, he had to try even if there was a slight chance.
The Snow Night Emperor said smilingly and ingratiatingly, "Young friend, since you said so, let's change the condition as you wish."
"There is no need, Father Emperor, I am willing to be your bargaining chip!!" Xue Ke's urgent voice rang out.
"Hm?" Everyone in the room turned uniformly towards Xue Ke who had spoken.
With her face red, Xue Ke stuttered, "Father Emperor's safety is of utmost importance. If I can do something for you, I am willing to go through fire and water, even marry if necessary."
The Snow Night Emperor's heart warmed, immediately moved.
His daughter is truly his little padded jacket.
He felt regret for what he had just proposed.
"Ke'er, Father Emperor was wrong just now. You have wholeheartedly considered my well-being, yet I still wanted to use you as a bargaining chip to be promised in marriage. I apologize now and promise not to do so again."
"No—don't do that!" Xue Ke immediately grew anxious and tried to stop him.
The Snow Night Emperor was perplexed, "What 'don't'?"
Xue Ke mumbled, "There's no need to change the condition; the way it was is fine."
"Ah?" The Snow Night Emperor was a bit stunned.
Xue Ke, with her head bowed, couldn't see her toes, only her ample bust.
Her two white and slender legs were intertwined, one of them tiptoeing on the ground.
Her pale, delicate hands fiddled with her dress hem.
"You can just wrap me and the Boundless Universe Shield together and give us to Brother Yu," she said.
"I am willing to sacrifice myself for Father Emperor."
"Hiss—"
The expressions of everyone present suddenly turned weird.
They were not fools; Xue Ke's coy demeanor was so obvious, how could they not see what was going on?
"Cough cough," Luo Yu coughed, "Xue Ke, you don't need to sacrifice yourself like this. I understand that a melon forced off its vine is not sweet."
"No, you don't understand, this melon wasn't forced off," she said.
"It's—" she continued.
"Voluntary," Xue Ke whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito, her face flushed, her head buried in her chest.
"Ah, this..." Luo Yu found himself at a loss for words in the face of these sudden, almost confessional words.
"Click, click!"
This was the heartbroken, shattered voice of the Snow Night Emperor.
It turned out that his daughter's filial piety was just a facade, and she had been wanting to throw herself at that man for a while now. He realized that he was the fool.
Indeed, he had been caught off guard by Xue Ke's sudden display of filial obedience.
Tang Yuehua, stepping on black high heels, felt her shapely, silk-stockinged legs tense, and her heart began to panic.
From their recent interactions, she had long since secretly pledged her heart to this talented and humorous man.
Moreover, Luo Yu had been hugging and touching her previously, and with her conservative nature of preserving her chastity, how could she possibly take an interest in someone else?
Now here she was, not having confessed her feelings yet, and her disciple Xue Ke had seized the initiative. She, as a teacher, suddenly felt completely out of sorts.
Poison Douluo quietly moved next to Luo Yu, leaned in, and whispered, "This Snow Night Emperor is actually a decent person; he once did me a favor. Help him out this time, will you?"
"I have no clue about the poison he's been afflicted with, but I feel that if you took action, you would definitely be able to cure him,"
Luo Yu glanced sideways and said, "Old toxicant, you have that much confidence in me? If I can't cure him, you'll have a hard time dealing with it."
Poison Douluo thought seriously for a moment.
"In the entire Soul Land, if you can't cure him,"
"I think he might as well lie down in the royal tomb and wait for death."
Luo Yu gave him a blank look.
"I'll do this for you this time, but don't get me involved again next time."
"No problem."
Seeing Luo Yu agree to help, Poison Douluo's face instantly burst into joy.
He quickly walked over to the Snow Night Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you're saved now."
The Snow Night Emperor scrutinized Luo Yu from head to toe and couldn't help questioning, "His piano playing is indeed mesmerizing, and I admire that."
"But healing is different from playing the piano. The poison in me is such that no one in the entire Tiandou Empire can cure."
"Can he cure me?"
"If you don't trust me, you can go find someone else. If you want to be cured, then stop dilly-dallying," Luo Yu said from the side, growing impatient.
The Snow Night Emperor's complexion changed, and anger surged within him.
He had always used his power to intimidate others in his lifetime, and no one had ever dared to speak loudly to him.
Yet today, this young man had rebuked him countless times.
As an emperor, how could he not have a temper? He could no longer contain himself and roared fiercely,
"Boy, do you know what poison is in me?"
"A slow-acting venom, eroding vitality. So many renowned doctors in Tiandou City have been unable to determine what the poison actually is."
"Who do you think you are, a divine physician still alive in this world?"
"Why do you dare to appear so confident here?"
In the face of the Snow Night Emperor's angry questioning, not even an eyelid twitched on Luo Yu's face.
He walked to a nearby chair and slowly sat down.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
He raised an eyebrow, glancing at the Snow Night Emperor, his voice low and slightly mocking.
"Clearly not long for this world, yet your voice is so loud. Are you not afraid of dying sooner?"
"The thing inside you is a mixture of poisons, hundreds of different toxins combined by someone with intention to create a chronic poison. It's no surprise no one can identify it."
The Snow Night Emperor's body trembled violently, and his majestic face, full of rage, suddenly stiffened.
"You... you're spouting nonsense!"
"How could someone have the ability to mix hundreds of severe toxins together, yet again make sure it doesn't kill the person quickly?"
Poison Douluo also hesitated and couldn't help asking, "Luo Yu, my young friend, could you have made a mistake this time? I don't even have the ability to merge hundreds of toxins."
"Heh," Luo Yu said, "Just because you don't know, doesn't mean such a person doesn't exist."
"Martial Soul Hall has a Porcupine Douluo whose Martial Soul Talent involves refining toxins into a single entity."
"You mean Porcupine Douluo?" Poison Douluo's voice altered.
The Snow Night Emperor asked, "What about him? Is there something wrong with that person?"
Poison Douluo explained, "This man is an enemy of mine; although not skilled in using poison, he can withstand toxins due to his Martial Soul Talent. I never expected he'd have the ability to refine such a toxin."
After saying this, Poison Douluo swallowed hard, his heart shocked.
He had imagined Luo Yu could heal the Snow Night Emperor, but he hadn't expected that it would take just a glance to pinpoint the source of the Snow Night Emperor's poison.
Hearing Poison Douluo's explanation, the Snow Night Emperor was beyond shocked and said incredulously,
"This kid didn't even take my pulse, nor did he get close to me."
"He just casually glanced at me and saw what severe poison I had inside, and even guessed who poisoned me???"
"This... this is too exaggerated."
"It must be a lie."
The Snow Night Emperor started to stutter towards the end.
The eyes of all the men and women present simultaneously focused on Luo Yu.
Could it be that this fellow is not only a genius in the arts but also a divine doctor who can cure all diseases?
Impossible, right?
