You'll Regret This! (+1)
"Oh, and—"
"Ahem." Dugu Bo was about to speak when Su Cheng interrupted him, "There are also some common herbs used to treat Senior Dugu's illness."
Su Cheng did not elaborate on the specifics of Dugu Bo's situation.
He wasn't directly involved, so he couldn't easily reveal it to others.
If he were to bluntly say that this Poison Douluo wouldn't live much longer, regardless of Qian Renxue's reaction, Dugu Bo would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Yeah?"
Qian Renxue felt that what he said was somewhat untrue, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
She glanced at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in Su Cheng's hand and shook her head, saying, "I don't want this."
"Um?"
"I want the Lovesick Heartbreak Red."
Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated.
He felt that Qian Renxue must still have some unresolved issues.
Although the two had just acted very intimately, they were keeping many things from each other.
In addition, Qian Renxue's current condition is not quite right. The effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red are somewhat evil. Not to mention whether it can be removed, it may not be a good thing to use it. I wonder if there will be any negative effects.
The Immortal Herb is different from ordinary rare and precious herbs.
The medicinal properties of these rare and precious medicines have been accumulated over time, and after countless years, they are completely different from their original nature.
In addition to the spirituality they possess, each of these Immortal Herb is unique and has its own distinctive characteristics.
Even among the same type and species of Immortal Herb, there are huge differences.
Su Cheng has always maintained a cautious attitude towards the use of this type of drug.
Deep down, I still prefer not to use the Lovesick Heartbreak Red amulet.
However, Qian Renxue's attitude was firm, and he felt guilty, so he could only say, "Then let's talk about it another day."
"You want to give it to someone else?"
"?" Su Cheng was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"
"Then give it to me now."
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Su Cheng looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Senior, I'd like to trouble you to make the trip again."
He glanced at Qian Renxue again and said with a serious expression, "I can give it to you, but even if you can pick it, it's best not to take it lightly. Your talent is already unparalleled in the world. The immortal Immortal Herb is just icing on the cake for you. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
On the contrary, Dugu Bo hesitated, feeling uneasy about leaving Su Cheng alone here.
She frowned and looked at him. "Are you sure?"
Su Cheng glanced at the expressionless Qian Renxue and the seemingly insignificant Porcupine Douluo.
He nodded and said, "Confirmed."
If Qian Renxue still insists on taking him away now, then he'll accept it.
After Dugu Bo learned about the physical characteristics of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red from Su Cheng and left, the scene became quiet for a while.
Although his trip to the Heaven Dou Imperial City was fraught with unexpected events, he achieved almost all of his objectives.
He joined the academy team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and obtained a ticket to participate in the Spirit Master Competition.
Having secured a powerful backer among the Upper Three Sects, and with Bibi Dong's strength suppressed during the current divine trial, the closed-door Worship Hall, and the Clear Sky Sect's mountain-sealing, he has a basic guarantee of safety as long as he doesn't do anything reckless.
They also acquired a Titled Douluo as a bodyguard.
Dugu Bo was all alone, but the two got along quite well. His only granddaughter was studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which would provide many conveniences for Su Cheng's future actions.
Most importantly, he has now successfully pulled Qian Renxue out of the quagmire of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, the Qian Renxue in front of us clearly possessed memories from the Simulated World.
Although Su Cheng had some concerns about this, he was mostly delighted.
For him, Qian Renxue in the Simulated World is a very special existence.
She was the only person he had ever completely trusted, and the only person he had ever wronged.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to help Qian Renxue in the real world after leaving the Simulation.
But that's just a one-sided compensation.
At that time, he saw Qian Renxue in the two worlds as completely different.
His subsequent actions, to put it nicely, were attempts to make amends; to put it bluntly, they were merely attempts to find psychological comfort for his past actions. He didn't consider whether Qian Renxue in reality would accept his so-called "good intentions."
But besides feeling gratified, Su Cheng now also has many doubts in his heart.
If he cannot figure out the connection between the Simulated World and the real world, it will undoubtedly create some obstacles for his subsequent plans and layouts in the Simulation.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue clearly didn't want to go into details about what had happened to her.
If memory is the bridge that allows Simulation to influence reality, then why did Bibi Dong, whom he killed, not react at all?
Logically speaking, she should be the biggest victim.
Unlike Qian Renxue, her situation was not simply a matter of her divine position being shattered; it was a true annihilation of her soul and spirit.
Moreover, compared to Qian Renxue, who was confined to Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong could obviously mobilize more resources from the Spirit Hall, making it easier for her to find him.
"The most likely unexpected factor is probably Xiao Xue, who seems to have a split personality."
The thought of Black-Clothed Qian Renxue, in that strange state, gave Su Cheng a headache.
These mysteries can only be explored by trying to understand them from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future.
Unbeknownst to Su Cheng, while he was silently pondering, Qian Renxue on the other side was also experiencing turbulent emotions, even a battle between gods and demons, far from the calm she appeared on the surface.
She didn't even notice the several winks that the Porcupine Douluo gave her from not far away.
Seeing his Young Master looking lost in thought, the Porcupine Douluo felt helpless but then gave up.
He thought to himself that even the person in charge didn't have those thoughts, so why was he, as a subordinate, causing trouble?
Golden light enveloped Qian Renxue's sea of consciousness, completely suppressing her turbulent emotions.
At the same time, a thick cloud of black smoke lingered in my heart.
Like a burning black flame, but without the scorching heat of fire, it is unusually cold, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon closer inspection, the plume of smoke vaguely resembled a human figure, with a slender and alluring form, exuding a bewitching allure.
"... This isn't what you truly think! What happened to your previous promises?!"
"You're wrong, this is exactly what I think."
"Ridiculous! Foolish!" A pair of black eyes appeared on the face of the smoky figure.
Then, the smoke condensed into a clear human figure.
Qian Renxue, dressed in a jet-black Mianfu, stood amidst the raging Black Flame, her face filled with murderous intent.
"I should have let you out; I was out of my mind to give up such a great opportunity."
"I can't let him down."
"What a joke! He's lied to us his whole life, so what's wrong with us lying to him once?"
Qian Renxue, dressed in black, had a gloomy expression, yet she was helpless.
She had indeed considered letting Su Cheng go before, but that was because Dugu Bo was by her side at the time, and the consequences would be too great to take action.
Now that Dugu Bo has left, it is the perfect time.
However, it seems that the close contact with Su Cheng just now gave the main personality in front of her a sense of belonging.
At this moment, the other party's mental will was exceptionally clear and strong, and in her current state, it was difficult to shake her.
"What about Ning Rongrong? You're still keeping her around?!"
"Ning Rongrong has no relationship with the teacher; that's just wishful thinking on Ning Fengzhi."
"Naive! You'll regret this!"
Not long after, Dugu Bo returned to this place.
Because he was worried about Su Cheng, he ran at full speed the whole way and didn't spend too much time.
"What's the use of this flower?"
When Dugu Bo handed over the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, he asked a question.
As Titled Douluo whose title is "Poison," he is quite interested in herbal medicine.
"Strengthen the foundation and cultivate the source, enhance the basics."
Su Cheng casually replied as he accepted the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Seeing the slight change in the other person's expression, he quickly understood what the other person was thinking.
"Your granddaughter can't use this; she can't take it off."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression turned somewhat displeased. "Boy, don't underestimate me. Even if she can use it, this thing is still yours."
Su Cheng was taken aback, then smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I misspoke."
Holding this king of immortal plants, he approached Qian Renxue and, after a brief pause, handed her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red that grew on the Wu Jue Stone.
"Remember what I told you, don't rush to take this Immortal Herb."
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the familiar and beautiful flower before her, her mind churning with emotions, and she was somewhat dazed.
After a moment, he reached out and took it with both hands.
Seeing her put away the Immortal Herb, Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xue, after you return to the Spirit Hall this time, don't rush to accept the Angel God Inheritance."
Of course, in theory, Qian Renxue wouldn't reach the Soul Saint level within a few years and wouldn't be able to start the Angel God Test.
But just in case, I should remind her in advance.
It wasn't that Su Cheng coveted the mysteries of the divine inheritance, but rather that he genuinely felt the Angel God Inheritance in this world was unreliable.
At the very least, we should wait until he has had a chance to study it before making a decision.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's current state is also very strange, and she may not be able to pass the test if she really accepts the Angel God Inheritance.
Given her mental state, she might not be able to overcome the hurdle of the seven emotions and six desires.
"..." Qian Renxue nodded, but did not answer. Instead, she stared intently at him with her phoenix eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher, have you ever regretted it?"
Su Cheng was taken aback and fell silent.
Time passed slowly.
"No."
Upon hearing his reply, Qian Renxue smiled and said nothing more.
Turning to look at the Porcupine Douluo, he regained some of his former dignified demeanor and said softly, "Uncle Ci Xue, let's go."
Then, he and the Porcupine Douluo turned around and left the place.
"People make mistakes, but they can't regret them."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Su Cheng touched his lips and muttered to himself absentmindedly, "Because regret is useless."
"Hey kid, they've all disappeared. What are you still staring at?" At this moment Dugu Bo walked over from not far away. "And what about that little girl? Aren't you going to take care of her?"
As he spoke, he gave Ning Rongrong, who was still unconscious, a wink.
Su Cheng finally came to his senses.
