Immortal Herbs!

Xiao Wu had been in a pretty good mood, but the moment she saw that plate of rabbit meat, her mood immediately turned ugly.

Several rabbit heads covered in sauce were facing Xiao Wu directly, making her blood pressure shoot up.

She loudly questioned Tang San, "Let me ask you!"

"Where did this rabbit come from?" Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Tang San.

Tang San still had no idea why Xiao Wu was acting this way. He honestly answered, "I caught them outside with my Sleeve Arrow today. There were several in the nest! I skinned and bled them myself, so they're definitely fresh."

Ye Qiu covered his face from the side. He had a bad feeling about this.

Sure enough—

"Shut up! And you still dare to—" Hearing this, Xiao Wu no longer wanted to say anything else.

Whoosh! With a flick of her hair, her Scorpion Braid wrapped around Tang San's neck.

"Xiao Wu? Urgh! Smack!"

Tang San, who had no idea what was happening, only felt himself being flipped upside down and hurled high into the air before being slammed heavily into the ground with a dull thud.

Xiao Wu rushed forward again and stepped on him.

"Hiss... Xiao Wu." The pain made him bare his teeth as he looked at her in confusion. Why had she suddenly attacked him?

Seeing this, Ye Qiu felt a chill in his heart. Good thing he had not been thrown around like this when he stewed rabbit meat. With his small frame, he probably would not have been able to get out of bed for half a month.

"Xiao Wu, forget it!" Seeing that she still wanted to attack, Ye Qiu hurriedly stopped her. If she really beat Tang San badly, his family would come looking for trouble.

He took Xiao Wu's hand and pulled her aside, then turned back to help Tang San up.

"Tang San, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Cough, cough! I'm fine." Tang San clutched his chest and cast Xiao Wu a fearful glance.

"Hmph! Sister Xiao Wu is furious!" Xiao Wu shot Tang San a glare, then looked at the Food Box on the table. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. "Wang Sheng! Wang Sheng? Wang Sheng!"

"Ah? Ah, Sister Xiao Wu, I'm here, I'm here!" Wang Sheng, who had been scared stiff by Xiao Wu, finally snapped out of it and hurried over to her.

"What are your orders, Sister Xiao Wu?"

"Take that box of cute little rabbits outside and bury them for me!"

"Huh?" Wang Sheng was equally puzzled. Cute? Shouldn't they be tasty?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and do it!" Xiao Wu glared at him.

Not wanting to follow in Tang San's footsteps, Wang Sheng nodded and picked up the Food Box to leave.

Xiao Wu was still worried. What if he got hungry and ate such cute little rabbits? She did not forget to warn him. "Wang Sheng, if you dare sneak a bite, I'll beat you to death!"

"Understood, understood." Wang Sheng fled outside in a panic.

"You all remember this. If Sister Xiao Wu ever finds out that anyone dares eat rabbit meat again, get out of Dormitory Seven! Understand?"

"Understood!" all the lackeys answered in unison.

Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Ye Qiu and Tang San. "And you two!"

"Especially you! Tang San!" She raised her index finger, leaned close, and pointed at him resentfully.

"Heh heh." Ye Qiu rubbed his nose and gave an awkward laugh. He had not expected her to remember something from so long ago.

Tang San, however, was different. With Xiao Wu standing so close to him, her face flushed red with anger and her crimson eyes fixed on him, he stood there blankly.

"Especially me?" As Tang San carefully savored Xiao Wu's words, the confusion in his eyes faded and gradually brightened. Everything that had just happened suddenly seemed far less important.

What mattered was that he, Tang San, was the most special person in Xiao Wu's heart!

"I understand, Xiao Wu. I'll never eat rabbit meat again." Having figured it out, he suddenly felt that the pain in his body was nothing much and immediately made his promise.

Beside him, Ye Qiu rubbed his reddened eyes beneath his black hair. They stung a little. Using the Two-Tomoe Sharingan to hypnotize Tang San really took some effort.

Ye Qiu had not done much. He had merely given Tang San a few subtle psychological suggestions, making him ignore as much as possible the changes that had happened between Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu that night.

Otherwise, if things continued like this, Tang San would probably attack Ye Qiu very soon, right? The path to death was no joke.

As for whether it would work, or how effective it would be, none of that was within Ye Qiu's consideration or control. He needed to lie low. He needed time!

Still, if Ye Qiu had known what Tang San was thinking, he would definitely have exclaimed, As expected of Third Brother! What an incredible interpretation!

That night's farce ended hastily. Dormitory Seven and all of Nuoding Academy fell quiet.

Moonlight filtered through the window. After beating up Tang San, Xiao Wu's anger had long since faded.

By the moonlight, she looked at Ye Qiu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation on the bed beside hers. Thinking of what he had said, she suddenly felt that letting Ye Qiu eat rabbit meat a few times was not such a big deal. In the future—

If anything happened to her, this foolish rabbit had already made up her mind!

As Ye Qiu cultivated, he sensed something. A Red Glow lit up in his eyes as he looked toward Xiao Wu. The rabbit's head had already slipped beneath the blanket the moment he opened his eyes.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu still did not attend class. After a night of healing, Tang San had mostly recovered and remained as attentive as ever, while Xiao Wu barely paid him any attention.

Ye Qiu arrived at the entrance of the Martial Soul Hall Branch with paper and pen in hand, his Sharingan silently activated.

The pattern drawn on the paper was precisely the chrysanthemum on the hall gates. Enhanced by Ye Qiu's Sharingan, it looked remarkably lifelike.

Beside it, he wrote: Immortal Herb, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Consuming it grants a body invulnerable to steel and iron.

Then he drew a tulip from the flower shop and wrote beside it: Immortal Herb, Aromatic Silk Beauty. Consuming it can—

He drew many other kinds of flowers as well, mixing the real among the fake.

This was the bait he would use to obtain information about Immortal Herbs. It would depend on whether Tang San took the bait, though Ye Qiu did not think the odds were good. Since ancient times, even heroes had struggled to resist beauty, let alone someone who could not even be called a hero!

That evening, Ye Qiu gave the things to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Qiu, what are all these? They're pretty well drawn!" Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her little feet as she carefully flipped through the booklet Ye Qiu had given her. "But are these flowers and plants really as miraculous as you wrote?"

"Some of the information in there is real, and some is fake. But the effects of genuine Immortal Herbs are only stronger than what I wrote!"

Ye Qiu knew the value of these Immortal Herbs perfectly well. Calling them the foundation of the Shrek Seven Devils' Becoming a God would not be an exaggeration!

"Then is what it says about Lovesick Heartbreak Red true?" Xiao Wu stared intently at the page about Lovesick Heartbreak Red, savoring the story written on it before looking at Ye Qiu expectantly.

"That one is real! But I don't know what it actually looks like." Ye Qiu paused after saying that.

"I see..." Xiao Wu sounded slightly disappointed.

"But Tang San knows!"

"Tang San knows?" Xiao Wu seemed to understand what Ye Qiu wanted her help with.

"Mm. Tang San knows quite a lot of specific information about Immortal Herbs. What I need you to do is coax that information out of him." Ye Qiu nodded and explained honestly.

"Sure! No problem!" It was more or less what she had guessed, and Xiao Wu immediately agreed. Although she found it strange that Xiao Qiu knew this information, none of that mattered. She believed him!

"Xiao Wu, if things go smoothly in the future, I will—"

Ye Qiu's voice was interrupted by Xiao Wu's call. She knew what he wanted to say. None of that mattered. Xiao Qiu was what she loved most; it was only a flower.

"Xiao Qiu~"

"Mm? Mmph—"

Ye Qiu looked at the Hooligan Rabbit so close before him. Although this rabbit did not understand personal boundaries, she really did taste good—sweet, soft, and tender.

Another day of waiting for a rabbit by a tree stump.
