Gu Feng chuckled mischievously, "Sister YanYan, the poison in your body is much less compared to your grandfather's. How about trying my Purification Detoxification Method?"
"Although the process might be a bit painful, I guarantee it will be completely removed in just one session!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took a few steps back, her face filled with hesitation. She cautiously asked, "Will it be very painful?"
"Hiss—that's a good question. I'm actually not entirely sure."
Gu Feng scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.
Dugu Yan, hearing this, couldn't help but roll her eyes in frustration, saying with annoyance, "So you're treating me like a lab rat?"
This Gu Feng was too unreliable. He didn't even know if it would hurt, yet he wanted to experiment on her.
"Not at all, not at all. Whether it hurts or not, we'll know once we try it. Don't worry, I have a good sense of what I'm doing."
As he spoke, Gu Feng gave Dugu Yan a reassuring look, trying to calm her down.
After much hesitation, Dugu Yan finally gritted her teeth and said, "Alright."
She thought to herself, since the poison in her body wasn't that much, maybe it really could be completely removed in one go, just as Gu Feng said.
Afterward, to avoid disturbing Dugu Bo, who was fully focused on guiding the poison, Dugu Yan looked around.
Not far away, a bamboo hut came into view. She guessed it was probably where her grandfather usually stayed when he came here, so she led Gu Feng toward it.
The two entered the bamboo hut, which was sparsely furnished, containing only a bed and a few chairs, with nothing else.
"Sister YanYan, are you ready?"
Gu Feng stood still, looking at Dugu Yan with a serious expression.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and nodded firmly, saying, "Let's do it!"
"Alright, here we go!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng immediately focused his mind and silently thought, "Old Yi, it's time to take over."
However, this time, Electrolux refused: "Little Fengzi, there's no need for me to take over this time. I'll channel a bit of the Power of Light into your body and teach you the incantation. You can try it yourself."
"Great, that's even better."
Gu Feng was overjoyed to hear this. This was an excellent opportunity to improve himself, and perhaps he could even use this Purification Power independently in the future.
Following the incantation taught by Old Yi, Gu Feng began to work.
He quickly formed hand seals, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his hands. A pure and powerful Purification Power instantly enveloped Dugu Yan.
In the next moment, an intense, searing pain surged through Dugu Yan's entire body like a tidal wave.
The pain came so suddenly and so fiercely that she was completely unprepared.
Under this heart-wrenching pain, Dugu Yan's mind went blank, and she was entirely consumed by instinctive reactions.
When people are on the brink of death, they will grab onto anything in front of them, as if clutching at a lifeline.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was in a similar state.
Instinctively, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Gu Feng, who was in front of her. Her long, slender legs also involuntarily coiled around him, trying to find a sense of security from his body.
In the next moment, Gu Feng's vision went dark, and his nose was filled with the intoxicating scent of a young girl.
However, in an instant, a suffocating sensation surged up.
Gu Feng was caught off guard by Dugu Yan's sudden action and hurriedly shouted, "Sister YanYan, stay clear-headed! Don't do anything reckless!"
Yet, instead of helping, his shout seemed to have the opposite effect.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was completely dominated by the pain, utterly unable to control herself. She bit down hard on Gu Feng's shoulder with a force that seemed as if she wanted to tear it off.
Gu Feng gasped in pain but couldn't free his hands to push Dugu Yan away. He could only keep calling out, trying to bring her back to her senses: "Sister YanYan, hold on! Wake up!"
But his voice seemed so faint in Dugu Yan's world, which was filled with excruciating pain.
Electrolux's voice echoed in Gu Feng's mind: "Steady your mind, don't interrupt the purification. Although the pain is unbearable, if you stop at this critical moment, the backlash of the poison will be unimaginable!"
Gu Feng gritted his teeth and persisted, his forehead covered in sweat, as the golden light of purification continued to operate at full strength.
After what felt like an eternity, the trembling in Dugu Yan's body gradually subsided, and the force with which she bit Gu Feng's shoulder slowly loosened. Her consciousness gradually returned.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what greeted her was Gu Feng's face, twisted in pain yet still resolutely maintaining the purification, and her own body clinging tightly to his.
Dugu Yan instantly sobered up, a wave of scorching embarrassment flooding her face. She hurriedly let go of Gu Feng, lowering her head in a fluster, her voice still weak and awkward: "I-I'm sorry, I was in so much pain just now..."
Gu Feng rubbed his bruised and bleeding shoulder, forcing a smile: "It's alright, it's alright. How are you feeling? The poison should be mostly cleared, right?"
Dugu Yan circulated her Soul Power and was pleasantly surprised to find an unprecedented lightness in her body, as if something had been expelled.
She looked up, her eyes filled with gratitude and complex emotions: "Gu Feng, thank you so much. If it weren't for you..."
Before she could finish, the door of the bamboo house was suddenly pushed open by a gust of wind, and Dugu Bo appeared at the entrance.
He had just finished guiding the poison and, sensing the unusual commotion here, had rushed over.
Seeing the disheveled clothes, the awkward expressions on the two, and the bite mark on Gu Feng's shoulder, the joy on Dugu Bo's face instantly vanished. His brows furrowed, and his eyes became as sharp as an eagle's: "What are you two doing?"
When he saw Dugu Yan's flushed face, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
Good kid!
Taking advantage of my absence, you dared to sneak in?
Dugu Yan, her face burning with shame and anger, hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, it's not what you think! The purification was so painful, I lost consciousness, that's why..."
As she spoke, her face grew even hotter, as if it had been scorched by fire, and her voice unconsciously lowered. Her delicate toes nervously tapped the ground, like crystal grapes, her fair toes tightly gripping the floor, as if seeking a sense of security.
Her head hung low, not daring to meet Dugu Bo's eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Feng was about to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could utter a word, Dugu Bo raised his hand to stop him.
"Ah, no need to say more. I understand."
Dugu Bo's face was filled with emotion, and a faint smile even flickered in his eyes. "I never expected that at just six years old, you already have that kind of ability. I've always heard that Dragon Class Souls are strong in that aspect, but I never believed it. Now, I'm completely convinced."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Dugu Yan, who was standing beside him, instantly turned as red as if she could drip blood. She was both embarrassed and annoyed, chiding, "Grandpa, what are you saying! How can you talk about your own granddaughter like that?"
She stomped her foot, covering her burning cheeks with her hands, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Gu Feng, with a look of helplessness, could only patiently explain everything in detail, from the principle of purification to Dugu Yan's instinctive reaction under pain.
Throughout the explanation, Dugu Bo occasionally raised his eyebrows and nodded, his eyes shifting between the two of them, his expression a mix of belief and doubt.
Fortunately, after Gu Feng's earnest and thorough explanation, Dugu Bo finally believed that it was all just a pure misunderstanding.
Dugu Bo waved his hand and chuckled heartily, "Alright, alright, it was my mistake."
"Hmph," Dugu Yan turned her head away, not wanting to pay any attention to this old man.
Dugu Bo also looked helpless and could only turn to Gu Feng first. "Young man Gu Feng, I've tried your detoxification method, and it really works. Although it's slow, I have a feeling that within a year, I should be able to integrate all the toxins I've accumulated over my lifetime into my Inner Core."
"Go ahead, tell me what you want. As long as it's not excessive, I can grant it to you."
Hearing this, Gu Feng took a deep breath. The moment had finally come.
"Senior Dugu, I would like to pick the Immortal Herbs I need here. How about it?"
Dugu Bo thought it was something major, but he waved his hand and laughed heartily, "What's so difficult about that? It's just some herbs. They're yours."
