Hotel.
Bai Wanwan stood before Qian Renxue's door. After waving for Guibao and Yang Wushuang to head back and rest first, she reached out and knocked on the door before her.
The knock echoed through the quiet corridor.
Click~
The door opened, and Qian Renxue appeared before Bai Wanwan.
"Sister~"
Bai Wanwan called out sweetly before stepping into the room.
"Did you get everything done?"
"Wanwan, where did you get that crown on your head? It suits your temperament perfectly."
As Qian Renxue watched Bai Wanwan enter the room, she immediately noticed the crown she wore. With her discerning eye, she could tell that the Silver Crown on Bai Wanwan's head was no ordinary item.
"It's done. I also came across a little opportunity."
Bai Wanwan sat down in the room and began telling Qian Renxue the details of what had happened.
She truthfully recounted everything concerning Dugu Bo and the Immortal Herbs. However, she made slight alterations to the parts about the Water Dragon King, the Azure Dragon Heart Crown, and the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear, saying only that she had found them at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The reason for the slight changes was not that she did not trust Qian Renxue, but because she herself had yet to figure out exactly what relationship she had with the Water Dragon King.
But there was one thing Bai Wanwan could now be certain of: her connection to the Dragon Clan ran deep.
"You really are something. Dugu Bo is famously immune to both soft and hard tactics, yet you wanted to make him bow his head."
Qian Renxue smiled and lightly tapped Bai Wanwan on the forehead.
"Sister, you've got the wrong focus."
"The important thing isn't Dugu Bo, but the Immortal Herbs."
Bai Wanwan extended a pale finger and waved it before Qian Renxue's eyes. Then she took two Immortal Herbs from her Storage Bracelet and handed them over. "Sister, these are the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. After consuming them, you can gain immunity to water and fire. They can also enhance the fire attribute in your spirit and improve your cultivation talent."
Qian Renxue looked at the two Immortal Herbs held out before her, then at Bai Wanwan's serious expression, and could not help but freeze for a moment.
"Immunity to water and fire, enhanced attributes, improved cultivation talent... Are their effects really that heaven-defying?"
"Wanwan, aren't you going to take these two Immortal Herbs?"
"How about we take one each?"
At that, Bai Wanwan decisively shook her head.
"No. If you take only one of these Immortal Herbs, it'll be highly poisonous. You must take both together."
"Besides, I have other Immortal Herbs."
Bai Wanwan took out the Narcissus Jade Bone and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid from her Storage Bracelet and waved them before Qian Renxue. "These are the two Immortal Herbs I'm going to take. The Narcissus Jade Bone can nourish the tendons and bones and open the eight extraordinary meridians, while the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid can strengthen one's foundation and replenish one's vitality."
Though the Narcissus Jade Bone and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid did not seem as effective as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, they were actually more suited to Bai Wanwan.
The water-and-fire immunity granted by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot was certainly good, but it was not of much use to Bai Wanwan.
After all, Bai Wanwan's Water Dragon King Spirit gave her absolute control over the Water Attribute. Unless the difference in Soul Power was enormous, anyone using the Water Attribute in front of her would learn exactly what it meant to get a harsh lesson from society.
As for fire immunity, Bai Wanwan mainly cultivated the Water Attribute. With the attributes countering each other, she had no need for fire immunity. The absolute control granted by the Water Attribute was worth its weight in gold.
In other words, Fire Attribute Spirit Masters were exactly the kind of opponents she fought.
"Then how should I take this Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot?"
Qian Renxue accepted the two Immortal Herbs and asked softly.
Bai Wanwan smiled and told Qian Renxue how to consume them. Then, the two sat cross-legged together and began absorbing the Immortal Herbs in their hands.
Once the Immortal Herbs entered their stomachs, they felt the medicinal power flow through their meridians and immediately began refining and absorbing it. As the medicinal power was gradually absorbed, both Qian Renxue's and Bai Wanwan's Soul Power Levels continued to rise.
Time quietly passed.
The night soon went by.
Qian Renxue was the first to finish absorbing the Immortal Herbs. She opened her eyes and sensed her current Soul Power Level, only to discover that she had risen by a full four levels.
Four levels of Soul Power at the Spirit Emperor level would normally have taken even Qian Renxue, with her Innate Level 20, more than a year of cultivation.
Yet after eating two Immortal Herbs, not only had her Soul Power risen by four levels, but even the fire attribute in her spirit had been noticeably enhanced.
Qian Renxue turned her gaze toward Bai Wanwan beside her. Seeing that Bai Wanwan was still absorbing the Immortal Herbs, she did not disturb her and simply waited quietly.
About two hours later.
Bai Wanwan's eyelashes trembled slightly before her eyes slowly opened.
But the instant they opened, she saw a peerlessly beautiful face gradually drawing closer before her. Caught off guard, Bai Wanwan jumped in fright.
"Whew~"
"Sister, you scared me."
Bai Wanwan lightly patted her chest.
After absorbing the two Immortal Herbs, her Soul Power had increased by six levels, rising from a Level 53 Spirit King to a Level 59 Spirit King.
Although the increase wasn't as great as in the original work, Bai Wanwan could understand that. After all, when Shrek absorbed the Immortal Herbs in the original work, they had only been three-ring Soul Elders. She, on the other hand, was already a five-ring Spirit King. It was only natural that the improvement wouldn't be as dramatic.
"Wanwan, after absorbing the Immortal Herb you gave me, my Soul Power rose by four levels. How do you think I should thank you?"
A faint smile rested on Qian Renxue's lips.
"Sister, what are you saying? With the relationship between us, do we still need thanks?"
Bai Wanwan's expression turned serious in an instant.
"That's true, but thanks are still necessary."
"Why don't you give yourself to me?"
Qian Renxue looked at Bai Wanwan before her, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.
Silence~
Bai Wanwan's eyes fluttered a few times as she failed to react.
It even felt as though her brain had short-circuited.
Thank me, and have me give myself to you?
Wasn't something a little off here?
Could there have been a problem absorbing the Immortal Herb? Why was she hearing things?
"Ahem~"
"Sister, isn't what you said a little wrong?"
Bai Wanwan blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Is it wrong?"
Qian Renxue asked in return.
"Is it right?"
Bai Wanwan retorted as well.
Their gazes met in midair.
A moment later, Qian Renxue reached out and gave Bai Wanwan a pat on the head.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."
"There's still time. We can rest a little longer."
Qian Renxue stretched her slender waist, then patted her own lap.
Seeing this, Bai Wanwan immediately understood. She leaned to one side and rested her head on Qian Renxue's lap, breathing in the faint fragrance emanating from her as she comfortably closed her eyes.
