Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Inside the vast and magnificent hall, only Bibi Dong sat upright on the throne of the Supreme Pontiff, which symbolized supreme power.
Her fingertips unconsciously tapped against the armrest, emitting a rhythmic, soft sound that echoed in the silent palace, appearing exceptionally clear.
She wore a gorgeous and intricate Supreme Pontiff robe, with golden patterns winding across the fabric, outlining her nearly perfect body curves.
Even the voluminous robe could not completely conceal those breathtaking curves.
The hem of the robe had a high slit; as she gently crossed her legs, a pair of long, beautiful legs wrapped in purple silk stockings appeared and disappeared, their lines tight and rounded, full of strength and beauty, exuding the fatal attraction unique to a mature woman.
However, at this moment, her graceful and beautiful face was filled with solemnity.
On the screen within her sea of consciousness, Dugu Yan's message of tearful gratitude was like a sharp thorn, deeply piercing her proud heart.
This type of poison.
She had also studied it, even using the resources of the Spirit Hall to consult many ancient texts.
The conclusion was: unsolvable.
At least below the god level, no one could eradicate this hereditary deadly poison that was deeply fused with the bloodline.
She, Bibi Dong, with twin spirits, one of the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, and the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, was helpless against this.
Yet that Group Owner called "Heavenly Emperor Lu" had merely casually prepared a bowl of herbal medicine and suppressed it.
He even used the most ordinary and cheapest herbs.
This was no longer in the realm of medical skill.
This was the Dao, the laws, a Domain she could not touch at all!
"..."
Intense shock and an indescribable sense of frustration intertwined in Bibi Dong's heart.
She took a deep breath, her shockingly full chest rising and falling, and finally, she slowly exhaled, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.
In any case, winning over this mysterious Group Owner was the top priority.
Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the screen, sending a message.
[Supreme Pontiff: Group Master is truly omnipotent!]
Bibi Dong's statement was like lighting a fuse.
The originally silent Chat Group instantly exploded with activity.
[Little Demoness: Wow! Group Master is too awesome! It's like a god descended to earth!]
[My Cat is White and Big: Unimaginable means.]
[The Fox Is the Most Innocent: I knew Group Master would be able to do it! Group Master is mighty!]
[Gentle Fire Dragon:... Unfathomable.]
[My Son Is Not a Bastard: Awesome.]
For a time, the group was filled with praise; everyone was conquered by Lu Ming's heaven-defying medical skills.
Blue Tyrant Academy, inside Lu Ming's room.
Watching the screen filled with praise, a faint smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.
This was the effect he wanted.
Maintaining a high profile was the only way to keep these people in awe of him.
His fingers moved lightly, and he replied unhurriedly.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu: A mere trifle, not worth mentioning.]
A simple sentence, yet it revealed a sense of indifference and composure that looked down upon the world.
Seeing this sentence, the people in the group held him in even higher regard.
Such a divine skill was, in his words, merely a "mere trifle."
To what level had this Group Master's realm reached?
Just then, Dugu Yan sent another message, her words filled with pleading and determination.
[Poison Fairy: I beg Group Master to help me and my grandfather completely resolve the poison! No matter what the conditions are, Yan'er will agree!]
Meanwhile.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, girls' dormitory.
Dugu Yan lay on her side on the large, soft bed; the severe pain in her body had completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and vitality.
At this moment, she was looking at the screen in her sea of consciousness with great anticipation, her beautiful eyes shining with hope.
The silky quilt slid halfway off her body, revealing her beautiful neck and shoulder lines and her curvaceous upper body.
She subconsciously curled her legs, her long, beautiful legs—now restored to a smooth and glossy state—crossed together, outlining an alluring arc, her toes slightly tensed from nervousness, appearing small and cute.
Hope!
She saw the hope of completely escaping this fated curse!
Finally, that avatar that haunted her dreams had a new reply.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu: When I have time another day, I can teleport over and help you solve it; we can discuss the remuneration then.]
Seeing the four words "can solve it," Dugu Yan's breathing suddenly stalled.
The next second, immense ecstasy surged into her heart!
"Ah!"
She couldn't help but cheer, jumping off the bed and spinning around twice in excitement.
The hem of her thin nightgown flew up, and her straight, shapely legs traced the most beautiful arc in the air, full of youthful vitality and joy.
It can be solved!
Group Master promised it himself!
The nightmare that had plagued the Dugu family for generations was finally coming to an end!
As for the remuneration...
Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly; as long as he could cure her and her grandfather, let alone remuneration, even if he wanted her, she would be perfectly willing!
After all, this snake poison had entangled their family for too long; now that she had finally seen hope, Dugu Yan naturally had to grasp it at all costs, whether for herself or for her grandfather.
Lu Ming was her best chance, her salvation, and her Benefactor!
Just as Dugu Yan was immersed in joy, a prompt that no one expected suddenly popped up on the Chat Group screen.
[Ding!]
[System Prompt: Activity level has reached the requirement, group member quota increased by one!]
[System Prompt: Please choose an object to invite, Group Owner.]
The sudden change made the group instantly quiet.
Before Lu Ming's eyes, a semi-transparent invitation interface appeared.
He felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Finally, he could invite new members!
To make the Chat Group more active and the rewards more generous, inviting more members with stories and strength was the only way.
Who should he invite?
Lu Ming's fingers tapped on the desk as he fell into deep thought.
Although the current members in the group were not of low status, apart from the ambiguous-standing Bibi Dong, there were almost no top-tier powerhouses in the true sense.
He needed to invite an existence powerful enough to hold down the fort and pave the way for exposing more major events in the future.
Names flashed across Lu Ming's mind, only to be rejected one by one.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened; an excellent candidate appeared in his mind.
She was powerful, held a respected status, stayed away from human conflicts, and, moreover, she herself was facing a huge predicament.
There was no more suitable candidate for invitation than this.
Lu Ming made a decision in his heart, moved his mind, and entered the name on the invitation interface.
[Invitation Object: Snow Empress.]
The next moment, a system message quietly popped up in the Chat Group.
[Ice Sky Snow Maiden has joined the group chat!]
