Half Sweet, Half Bitter

As night fell, the moonlight, as always, gently bathed the Sea God Lake.

What was moving was perhaps not the breeze, nor the lake water, but Zhou Huan's heart at that moment.

Seeing Zhou Huan staring blankly at her, Zhang Lexuan felt both happy and helpless, and could only say softly, "What are you thinking about? I'm talking to you about something important."

At this moment, the two of them were actually lying on the roof of Zhang Lexuan's small building, from which they could have a panoramic view of half of the Sea God Lake.

This afternoon, after Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er returned, the entire Sea God Pavilion's upper echelons were alarmed, and Zhang Lexuan naturally learned about what had happened to Huo Yuhao.

A perfectly healthy young man went out and came back exhausted and nearly died. I don't know what he went through, but he came back completely worn out.

Huo Gua is the successor of the Sea God Pavilion, yet he's now lying in bed unconscious.

In other words, his physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary Soul Master; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return alive.

After being treated by Elder Zhuang, Super Douluo with the Life Tree Martial Soul, Huo Gua's Life signs have been temporarily stabilized, but it is unknown when he will wake up.

That's why Zhang Lexuan brought up Huo Gua's matter when they were lying together Shang Yue tonight.

Zhou Huan stretched and replied, "Don't worry, the class monitor isn't an ordinary person. He'll wake up soon. Even in a wheelchair, he can still participate in the Mingdu Soul Master Competition in a month."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Given his current condition, whether he participates in the competition or not is not important. What's important is whether he can recover in the future. I was thinking, could we use the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to help Huo Yuhao recover? After all, the effects of this Immortal Herb are very miraculous according to the records."

"Huo Yuhao is the heir of the Sea God Pavilion, so if the Immortal Herb can restore his health, it won't be a loss."

"But the Lovesick Heartbreak Red was a gift from you, a token of our love. Thinking about it, I can't bear to give it away. I feel like I'm becoming less and less like Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Court."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, it wasn't a heart attack. This wasn't because Zhang Lexuan wanted to give Huo Gua Immortal Herb, but because he suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately asked, "Sister Lexuan, did you... did you pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

Zhou Huan really did give Zhang Lexuan the Lovesick Heartbreak Red as a potted plant, saying it was a token of their love simply because this Immortal Herb represented love.

He never intended for Zhang Lexuan to take it off.

However, now...

At the same time, seeing Zhou Huan staring intently at her, Zhang Lexuan's fair face flushed slightly, and she spoke somewhat awkwardly, "So what if I took it off?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately hugged Zhang Lexuan tightly without saying a word.

At this moment, there's really no need to say anything; just hold the girl beside you tightly.

When Zhang Lexuan told Zhou Huan that she had picked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, wasn't Zhou Huan moved?

The answer is 100% touching!

Although Zhou Huan never expected Zhang Lexuan to remove the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, it wasn't a question of whether it was possible to remove it, but rather that, in his view of love, he didn't need it.

But now, this gentle and beautiful girl has silently plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

How could Zhou Huan not be moved?

Anyone with a normal mind would be moved.

However, after her initial joy, Zhou Huan immediately whispered in Zhang Lexuan's ear, "Sister Lexuan, thank you. But I hope you will always put yourself first, and never let me hurt you."

However, Zhang Lexuan did not answer directly, but instead said, "You're hugging me too tightly."

Zhou Huan: "..." Girl, you're ruining the touching atmosphere for me.

Of course, Zhou Huan loosened his grip slightly and then gently kissed Zhang Lexuan on the forehead.

The kiss left Zhang Lexuan stunned for a few seconds, her whole body stiffening.

However, being the Senior Disciple Sister, she quickly calmed down and immediately returned to the original question, "You haven't said yet whether we should give the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Huo Yuhao to see if he can recover his health?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "The Lovesick Heartbreak Red has no effect on him. From the moment Qiu'er brought the class monitor back, the first time I saw him, I knew that the class monitor was in this state because he drank the Blazing Sun Spring from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. "The legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that grew many Immortal Herb ten thousand years ago?"

Zhou Huan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Actually, I obtained my Immortal Herb from there. The class monitor must have gone to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and probably drank the Blazing Sun Spring for some unavoidable reason."

"He already possesses the Extreme Ice, and the clash between ice and fire meant he was able to return alive. He must have already consumed Immortal Herb, and that Immortal Herb is Lovesick Heartbreak Red. So, even if you gave him another Lovesick Heartbreak Red, it wouldn't make a difference."

Listening to Zhou Huan's analysis, Zhang Lexuan suddenly noticed a key point and asked, "You mean, Huo Yuhao consumed a Lovesick Heartbreak Red, so the one that could have been picked for him back then was...?"

Zhou Huan: "That's right, it's Wang Qiu'er."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Never mind then, someone as fickle as him doesn't deserve my Immortal Herb."

Zhou Huan smiled helplessly after hearing this. Sure enough, girls have different focuses.

Then Zhou Huan added, "Let's not talk about the class monitor anymore. The fact that he came back alive means he'll definitely be alright. By the way, Sister Lexuan, aren't you going to ask about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

However, Zhang Lexuan gently shook her head. "If you wanted to tell me, you would have already done so. There's no need for me to ask."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan felt a small surge of emotion.

Where can you find such an understanding girlfriend? You'd probably only find her in books.

Luckily, he met him.

Therefore, Zhou Huan hugged Zhang Lexuan tighter and explained, "The matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a bit complicated. It involves things that we can't touch right now. Even the class monitor wouldn't tell the Sea God Pavilion about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Zhang Lexuan didn't seem to mind, and instead said, "I believe in you. But if you encounter any problems you can't handle, be sure to tell me, and we'll face them together."

She was a very intelligent girl, and naturally understood the other meaning behind Zhou Huan's words.

Zhou Huan hummed in agreement and then kissed Zhang Lexuan's forehead again. "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."

The moonlight was once again filled with tenderness, Sea God Lake still shimmered with silver light, a gentle breeze blowing...

However, unlike the sweet atmosphere on the rooftop, tonight on Sea God Island was a mixed bag of emotions, with some couples experiencing joy and others sorrow. Not every couple can afford to constantly shower each other with affection.

Especially Huo Gua, the Son of Destiny with the protagonist's Halo, is still lying unconscious in his dormitory building!

Wang Dong'er, standing beside him, had eyes so red and swollen they were the size of eggs, yet she was still holding back her tears as she gently cared for Huo Gua.

This ill-fated couple also had a tragic fate. If things had continued according to the original trajectory, Wang Dong'er would have been killed, which was truly miserable.

Even more tragically, there was the Little Soul beast standing alone by the window, staring blankly at the night.

If the recluse of Qinglian had witnessed this scene, he would surely have composed a poem for her. "Raising a cup to invite the bright moon, with my shadow, we become three."

Unfortunately, Wang Qiu'er probably wouldn't understand, and she might very well send the Poet Immortal away with just a Golden Dragon Spear.

She's still pondering the profound philosophical question Zhou Huan had raised with her during the day: which is more important, love or Life?

Wang Qiu'er realized that her beastly life was too simple, and human society was far too complex; beastly life was tough!

She suddenly wondered if running away was really the right thing to do.

Why hasn't she encountered anything to be happy about since coming into human society?

She met the person who had given her memories of human society again, but in the end, all she experienced was the sorrow of unrequited love, and nothing else remained.

At this moment, Wang Qiu'er became a bewildered Little Soul beast again, thinking that perhaps she should leave after participating in the Mingdu Soul Master Competition, as the Star Dou Great Forest was her true home.
