Breaking The Fourth Walls (A Douluo Dalu Fanfic) - Chapter 43
As Yu Xiaogang asked me his question i stood up and pointed towards fatty, and said, “Venerable clan leader, i will not lie to you and say that i can heal your wife with full confidence.” Yu Xiaogang looked at me with disappointment on his face, but i quickly continued before he could say anything. “However, i can ȧssure you that i can stop the poisoning process, you see before coming here i researched a bit about that poison and realized that it was a deadly one. But the problem is that once one is poisoned, they will need an excessive amount of spirit essence to slow the process down. Which would probably mean either you have such a source or have dried yourself up by using your own spirit essence am i right.”
Yu shu who was standing right next to me felt as if i was insulting Yu xiaogang by declaring false information. “HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO VENERABLE CLAN LEADER, I WILL…”, however before he could finish his sentence Yu xiaogang had raised his left hand to stop him and said, “How did you know.”, Yu shu and Ma hongjun were shocked but i was not, instead i came cliser to him and said, “I can tell by the amount of spirit essence which you are exerting, in fact i felt it fluctuate as i saw release some of your aura.” Instead of being shocked this time, Yu Xiaogang was curious and said, “Alright then how will you heal my wife.”
I smiled and said, “You see the method which you used is not wrong however, it is only slowing the process down. Whereas i have something which would not only slow the poisoning process down but it will cure her.” If you looked closely you could see a spark of happiness within Yu Xiaogang’s eyes when i said that, but he managed to hide it quite well. He then looked at me with cautious and said, “It is good that you might have the cure to heal my wife but what is in it for you.” At that point i planned to close the deal and sat on a chair used by an elder and said, “Nothing much, just an alliance that won’t hinder your clan but will benefit it as well.” Yu Xiaogang stood up and said, “Explain.”
I then began to explain as to what i planned for both shrek academy and the blue lightning dragon clan. At first Yu Xiaogang was shocked by my ambition but nodded over time and said, “What you said is all good but my clan has the Blue Tyrant academy.”, “That is fine, as this will benefit your academy as well, for my plan is not to integrate your clan or anything of yours. However, i wish to create a relationship which will benefit the members of our alliance.” Yu xiaogang at that point was convinced and said, “Fine if you can heal my wife this alliance of yours i will see to it that the blue lightning dragon clan supports it.”
I nodded and looked towards Yu shu who was standing behind me but was in a daze as to how i was able to create an alliance just like that. However, i threw a paper at him and said, “I want you to go and buy the things on that list.”. He looked over the list and said, “Huh? But didn’t you say that you were going to create a cure for clan leaders wife, i mean all these ingredients are for cooking.” Yu xiaogang was shocked as well but waited for my answer to clear this misunderstanding up. I looked towards Yu shu and said, “That is for the clan leaders wife as i plan to help her gain absorb spirit essence back.” Yu shu looked towards Yu xiaogang and saw him nodding, yu shu bowed and quickly left.
Yu xiaogang looked at me and said, “Did you really need those ingredients or were you planning on sending Yu shu away.” I looked at Yu xiaogang said, “Believe it or not but those ingredients will save your wife.” Yu Xiaogang shook his head as he probably thought that i was joking and led towards his wife. I looked towards fatty and said, “Are you ready?”, he looked nervous and said, “I don’t know, i just hope Yu Xiaogang won’t kill me.” I looked at Yu xiaogang’s back and said, “Don’t worry he won’t kill you.” Ma Hongjun was happy to hear that however before he could say anything i cut him off by saying, “If you fail he will just erase you from existence.” Ma hongjun probably felt his stomach twisting when he heard that, i laughed as i knew he wouldn’t fail as i would be there to guide him.
As we followed Yu Xiaogang to an isolated room he stopped us and said, “Wait first.” He then waved his hands and costed something around both me and Ma hongjun, i could tell that it was spirit essence, however i was amazed that he had such an excellent proficiency in using spirit essence. He then opened the door and revealed a bed in the corner of the room which was full of a dreadful aura. As we cane closer i saw a woman sleeping with black spots covering her face and the rest of her body. I knew that this was none other than Bibi dong, however her condition was worse than i could imagine. I knew that her condition wasn’t getting any better so i looked towards the nervous Ma Hongjun and nodded my head.
He knew what he had to do and put on his best poker face as to try and calm himself down. He then went into a lotus position and began to gather spirit essence into his body, i then looked towards Yu xiaogang and told him to help his wife by making her float. He nodded and quickly did so, i then looked towards Ma hongjun and said, “Ma hongjun focus on the purifying the dark spots.” He nodded and closed his eyes and began to emit flame from his whole body, i then saw Bibi dong floating right above him and wondered if i could do that once i became a Titled douluo. I looked towards Yu xiaogang and said, “This process will be painful but what you do, do not interfere as it could cost your wife’s life.”
The healing process began as Ma Hongjun’s flames covered Bibi dongs body, of course her first reaction was screaming and struggling. It even got to the point where it no longer sounded like a human, i could see that Ma Hongjun was struggling but tried to purify the dark spots over Bibi dong’s body. Then through a course of ten to fifteen minutes or so, the dark spot on Bibi dong’s body began to disappear. Yu xiaogang who was watching grew worried for his wife and watched closely overtime. As the spots began to disappear i looked at Fatty and said, “Ma Hongjun stop its done.” Fatty stopped his flames from covering Bibi dong but was unable to extinguish his flames.
I knew that either Fatty must have messed up and is unable to extinguish his flames or that he was able to advance towards his second transformation. Due to the excessive amount spirit essence within his flames i could tell that it was the latter. I knew that i could not do anything at this point as he needed achieve his second transformation by himself. As the flames continued to rise, i saw that Fatty was in pain from his twisted expression. I knew that he was at his limit and if he kept going he would probably die. I then shouted saying, “FFAAATTTYY, someone is stealing your Fried chicken wings.” At that moment something awoke and Fatty broke through his second transformation and shouted, “WHHOO DAAAREES TO STEAL THIS YOUNG MASTERS CHICKEN WI-oww…”, i then slammed my fist onto his head to calm him down.
“What the hell Xiao O.”, “Oh shut up, i just saved your life so stop complaining.” While i was bickering with Ma hongjun Yu xiaogang who was watching began to laugh while holding his wife in his arms. I then stopped and looked at them and noticed that the black spots which covered his wife’s face was all but gone. However, she wasn’t awake yet which mean’t that she has not been cured yet. I looked towards Ma hongjun and said, “Ma hongjun can you control your flames now.” Ma hongjun who was touching his head nodded and began to make a small red flame in his hands which had blue streaks around it. I was impressed and felt a sense of danger from that flame, however it turns out that Ma hongjun wasn’t able to control it.
But I wasn’t worried as i knew that he would not fail, then as the flame touched Bibi dongs body no scream came out instead there was a slight look of discomfort on her face. Then the flames slowly disappeared overtime revealing that the poison was cured. Bibi dongs eyes began to twitch and opened only to see a Yu Xiaogang who was crying while looking at her in the eyes. “Xiaogang why are you crying.”, however Yu Xiaogang did not answer but hugged her afraid that he might lose her again. Bibi dong smiled and hugged him as well, Fatty who was next to me began to cry but of course this was a touching moment. However, as one problem is solved, i thought of another problem which was that if Bibi dong is not the supreme pontiff then who was.
