章 133: Chapter 131 Mission Resurfaces, Tianshui College_1
After some time had passed, Xu Ran had forced most of the snake poison in Dugu Bo's body to accumulate in his skull.
Dugu Bo's skull was from the snake king Medusa, the most powerful soul bone in his body. Of course, this Medusa has nothing to do with the one in "Dou Po." In Soul Land, Medusa refers to a top-tier powerful soul beast of the snake clan.
"Thank you, my lord. I, Dugu Bo, will never forget the life-saving grace you've given me."
Feeling his body become incredibly light and comfortable, Dugu Bo was overcome with emotion. In the past, he would suffer from the poison every midnight, that intolerable pain throughout his body he would no longer have to endure.
Dugu Bo kneeled on one knee and bowed to Xu Ran.
This time, despite kneeling on only one knee, Dugu Bo's attitude toward Xu Ran had already changed, which is why he was performing the kneeling submission.
Xu Ran had saved his life, and with Dugu Bo's personality, he couldn't possibly not repay the favor. And since Xu Ran was so strong, he naturally wanted to stay by his side.
"No need for such formalities, get up," Xu Ran said indifferently.
"Yes, my lord," Dugu Bo nodded, walked behind Xu Ran, and stood there. His respectful demeanor spoke volumes without saying a word.
"My lord, does Yan Yan also need to be detoxified like this?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Mm, go prepare a soul bone for her, and I'll help her detoxify it the next time I come. It needs to be a fresh soul bone," Xu Ran said. He indeed had soul bones on him, but those were all taken from Tang Hao's body.
Those soul bones, being tinged with a man's aura, were unacceptable to someone as fastidious as Xu Ran, and he certainly couldn't let his woman use them.
"Understood," Dugu Bo replied. As a Titled Douluo, it was not difficult for him to acquire a soul bone. Moreover, he had already prepared a suitable serpent soul bone for Yan Yan beforehand.
"However, is my lord planning to leave now?" Dugu Bo couldn't help asking.
"Yes, I have some matters to attend to and can't stay long. But we will meet again next time," Xu Ran said.
After all, his current strength came from using an Experience Card, which was time-limited. He had done too much today: hammering Tang Hao, coming to Icefire Polarized Eyes, detoxifying Dugu Bo—now with the Experience Card about to expire, he naturally couldn't stay any longer.
At this moment, he felt a bit embarrassed. Had he known that the Experience Card was short on time, he wouldn't have dallied and wasted time.
"You're leaving?" Dugu Yan suddenly asked. When she heard that Xu Ran was leaving, she couldn't help feeling a bit down. It wasn't because the poison in her body couldn't be detoxified for the time being, but rather due to a strange surge of emotion.
"What, do you not want me to go?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow, pulled the girl's flat and slender waist into his embrace, feeling a smooth but very elastic sensation.
"Hmm?" Xu Ran's index finger rested on the girl's delicate navel.
"Ah!"
"Who would miss you? You're not anybody to me," Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed red, feeling Xu Ran's restless hand, her heart pounding.
With a Titled Douluo for a grandfather, no one had ever dared to treat her like this. Xu Ran's actions, however, stirred feelings in her heart that she just couldn't quell.
"Next time remember to wear more; otherwise, it's not good for your health," Xu Ran reminded her. Perhaps it was because of her Serpent Martial Soul, but Dugu Yan's waist and buttocks really looked more and more appealing. Initially, Xu Ran hadn't paid much attention, but he found them increasingly enticing.
"Oh," Dugu Yan quieted down upon hearing Xu Ran's caring words, simply responding in a low voice. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Ran, with his extremely handsome features, his brows sharp as swords and eyes as bright as stars, complemented by a transcendent aura that made Dugu Yan's heart flutter.
"Well then, I'll be leaving first," said Xu Ran without lingering any further, his figure transforming into a streak of flowing light sweeping toward the distance.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet!" Dugu Yan suddenly remembered something and shouted towards the horizon.
"Xu Ran," Xu Ran said leisurely.
"Xu Ran? There's a newly titled Marquis by that name in Xingluo Empire, Marquis of Destiny Xu Ran," Dugu Bo thought with a start. These days, the news of a young man from the Zhu Clan being granted a marquisate in the Xingluo Empire had caused quite a stir, and the name Xu Ran had become very well-known within the empire.
In the Tiandou Empire, Xu Ran's name also frequently appeared on the lips of various princes and nobles. He had heard it several times from Prince Xue Xing. He was not usually very concerned with political matters, but he took note because he had heard that the young Marquis was granted his title due to his exceptionally outstanding talent.
A genius, not yet grown into a powerful being, had been granted the title of Marquis by the royal household.
That could only mean one thing: the royal household firmly believed this genius would certainly become a figure capable of stirring storms across the Continent. Otherwise, the royal household would not take such a great risk on a young person.
Could this person be the legendary Marquis of Destiny? No wonder he looked so young, and no wonder the royal household had bestowed such high honors on him.
"Grandfather, what is the Marquis of Destiny?" At this point, although Xu Ran's name was well-known in the Xingluo Empire, his deeds had not yet spread in the Tiandou Empire, and Dugu Yan naturally had no idea.
"The Marquis of Destiny..."
...
"'Host' brother, there are ten minutes left until the Experience Card expires. Please find a safe place to prepare. After the effect of the Experience Card expires, you might experience a period of weakness," the System Miss reminded.
"A period of weakness, what does that mean?" Xu Ran's heart skipped a beat.
"The Experience Card, though it strengthens the 'Host's' abilities and temporarily increases your Soul Power many times over, all of this has taken place within your current Soul Elder body. When your strength fades, the meridians that have been expanded manifold will shrink back, and the muscles on your body will also feel some discomfort," said the system Miss.
The Experience Card was akin to a secret technique for becoming stronger, and naturally, secret techniques would have backlash.
"How come I was fine last time?" Xu Ran was referring to the last time he used the Qilin Experience Card.
"That's because you transformed into a human form last time, therefore not subject to the negative effects of the Qilin Form. You could now change into the Qilin Form as well, and then you would not be affected by the negative effects of the human form," the System Miss explained.
"I'd better not," Xu Ran shook his head. Transforming into a soul beast in the human world was akin to seeking death.
Even if he were to suffer backlash, Xu Ran wasn't worried about his own safety. After all, he could switch to his Soul Beast Form at any time. With several thousand Skill Points in hand, he naturally wouldn't be too concerned.
Xu Ran's gaze swept across his surroundings, scouting for any activity.
"Ding, mission release: Catch up with Shui Bing'er and become the first male teacher in the history of Tianshui College."
"Ding, President of Tianshui College Shui Miao is returning to the college with the Tianshui College team. They went to challenge the Blazing Fire Team at Fiery Flame College but were unsuccessful."
"Ding, mission reward: 1000 Skill Points, five pieces of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow." The System Miss chuckled slyly, thinking that the Host brother's period of weakness would be a good time to recuperate at Tianshui College.
Tianshui College is full of girls, and all of them are beautiful young women.
