Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 107: Poison Douluo
Chapter 107 - 107: Poison Douluo
Until Tai Nuo's stomach could hold no more, water started coming out of his throat.
Tai Nuo raised his hand, pushing away the attendant and the water bucket, coughing as he gasped, "E-enough... enough... I... I don't need any more..."
He was about to throw up. He had probably never drunk this much water in ten days, let alone all at once!
His stomach was now bloated, filled with nothing but water. This nearly burst his gut!
Dan Heng put down the bucket. The third bucket still had a little left.
"Can you sit up now?"
Dan Heng looked at Tai Nuo. The purple veins on his body had almost faded, and his purple-red hand had returned to its normal flesh color.
Tai Nuo nodded repeatedly, still in shock, staring at the water bucket on the ground.
The attendant was equally astonished. Tai Nuo's stomach could really hold a ridiculous amount of water!
Dan Heng no longer paid attention to Tai Nuo and turned to the attendant, saying, "Please help me call for a carriage. I need to move these plants."
The attendant nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Tai Nuo sat there silently, staring at Dan Heng.
At this moment, he didn't know how to face Dan Heng anymore.
He had been force-fed so much water that he had suffered immensely.
But at the same time, Dan Heng had also technically saved him... perhaps even saved his life.
Originally, he looked down on knowledge and reading, but now he had been utterly humiliated.
If he continued to trouble Dan Heng, it would simply be unreasonable.
Though he was a rough and direct person, he wasn't wicked. He wasn't the kind to repay kindness with hostility.
"I... I still don't accept this! Even if the books you gave Tai Long contain knowledge about these plants, I still believe that poison and such tricks are just petty techniques! A true Soul Master should rely on soul power and strength!"
Tai Nuo grumbled, his voice deep and defiant.
Dan Heng merely nodded indifferently, not arguing with him.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Poison is just a petty technique? What an arrogant claim... Then tell me, what is the true path?"
A hoarse voice echoed from the entrance.
Both Dan Heng and Tai Nuo turned their heads to look.
They saw a tall, lean elder with a full head of white hair and a cold, sinister expression standing at the door.
Tai Nuo's face changed drastically.
Just moments ago, he had been brash and aggressive toward Dan Heng, but now, all of that bravado had turned into pure fear.
Dan Heng frowned slightly. This man's soul power had reached the level of a Titled Douluo.
This meant—another major problem had arrived!
"Well? Speak up!"
Tai Nuo lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "I... I am Tai Nuo from the Power Clan. I spoke carelessly. Poison Douluo, please forgive my offense."
The man before them was none other than the only Titled Douluo who had not joined any faction.
Among the Titled Douluo, he was considered the weakest in terms of direct combat strength.
But in another sense—he was also one of the most dangerous.
His title: Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!
Poison Douluo sneered as he glanced at Tai Nuo. "At least you have some awareness... Did the owner of these plants send you here?"
His sharp gaze was ice-cold.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
He and Chrysanthemum Douluo had been long-time rivals. Every time they met, they would fight.
A while ago, Chrysanthemum Douluo had come to Heaven Dou City and barked at him like a dog.
At the time, he had been occupied with something else and hadn't bothered responding.
By the time he was free and wanted to get even, Chrysanthemum Douluo had disappeared.
Tracing his whereabouts led him here, where he intended to force Chrysanthemum Douluo out.
After all, how dare that guy insult him before running away?
Tai Nuo froze for a moment, then shook his head. "I... I don't know anything."
Poison Douluo nodded slightly. The Power Clan had a deep grudge against Spirit Hall, so the chances of Tai Nuo working for Chrysanthemum Douluo were slim.
In that case...
Poison Douluo's gaze shifted toward Dan Heng.
"So, the one Chrysanthemum Douluo entrusted with these plants—is you?" Poison Douluo sneered.
"Yes, he entrusted me with the task of looking after them."
Dan Heng nodded slightly, confirming it.
Since he had already agreed to take care of these plants, he wouldn't abandon them or deny his connection to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Poison Douluo was surprised and scrutinized Dan Heng closely.
A look of confusion flickered in his eyes.
From his perception, Dan Heng was just an ordinary person.
Why would Chrysanthemum Douluo entrust such a critical task to an ordinary person?
He knew full well how much Chrysanthemum Douluo treasured these plants.
"Are you suppressing your soul power?"
"No, I am not a Soul Master."
Dan Heng shook his head, sensing that Poison Douluo was not here with friendly intentions.
"Now, that's really strange. That old chrysanthemum cherishes his flowers like his own life. He would never entrust them to someone unreliable."
As he spoke, Poison Douluo suddenly flickered forward, appearing right in front of Dan Heng.
A faintly toxic wind followed his movement.
Dan Heng frowned slightly. The smell on Poison Douluo's body was complex and overwhelming.
"What makes him trust you?"
Poison Douluo had been observing Dan Heng closely. Despite the sudden pressure, Dan Heng hadn't unleashed any soul power.
That left only two possibilities:
Either Dan Heng was truly just an ordinary person...
Or his strength was far beyond Poison Douluo's own—though that was highly unlikely.
Dan Heng replied, "Perhaps because of my knowledge of plants."
Poison Douluo let out a short laugh. "Your knowledge of plants? How amusing. That does sound like something that old chrysanthemum would do. So, he really left, huh?"
Poison Douluo frowned at Dan Heng.
Tai Nuo, standing nearby, didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
This was a Titled Douluo, and not just any Titled Douluo—one infamous for being cruel and ruthless!
Dan Heng nodded, confirming, "Yes, he has returned."
"Tch, how irritating. I haven't even retaliated yet... Whatever. He's gone, but his plants remain. I'll just take them as my compensation."
Poison Douluo sneered, his gaze turning toward the flowers, a sinister smile forming on his lips.
Tai Nuo asked cautiously, "Poison Douluo, may we leave now?"
"Scram."
Poison Douluo waved his hand dismissively, preparing to inspect the plants.
Tai Nuo quickly moved to pull Dan Heng away—only to grab empty air.
Dan Heng had stepped forward, blocking Poison Douluo's path.
There was no way he would let Poison Douluo take these plants.
That would mean betraying Chrysanthemum Douluo's trust!
Tai Nuo watched in horror.
What was Dan Heng doing?!
Did he not understand how dangerous Poison Douluo was?
Did he actually think he could stop him?!
Poison Douluo narrowed his eyes, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "You... are trying to stop me? You heard what he called me, right? You know my identity...?"
"Poison Douluo, I believe in fulfilling entrusted responsibilities. Since Chrysanthemum Douluo left me in charge of these plants, I cannot let any harm come to them."
"The grudges between you two shouldn't involve these flowers."
Dan Heng spoke firmly, without arrogance or fear.
Even in the face of Poison Douluo's terrifying reputation, he remained composed.
Tai Nuo smacked his forehead in disbelief.
This guy was too bold—or completely reckless!
Standing up to Poison Douluo like this... wasn't he afraid of being melted into a puddle of poison?!
"Hahaha...!"
Poison Douluo suddenly burst into laughter.
He stared at Dan Heng with newfound interest.
In all his years, he had never met an ordinary person with such courage.
Even knowing who he was, this man dared to stand firm?!
