The Lying-Flat Aromatic Silk Beauty
The exchange among the Immortal Herb didn't last long, only about ten minutes. The Miss Narcissus simply described the outside world to the Aromatic Silk Beauty. As for Zhou Huan's realm and experiences, she certainly wouldn't reveal anything.
During this time, Zhou Huan also asked Xuanzi and Wang Yan to select suitable Immortal Herb, which could be used to improve themselves, or given to the Pavilion Elder of Shrek Academy to help them advance further, or used to prepare for some outstanding students.
Zhou Huan is not Huo Gua and does not know how to refine pills, so he cannot refine something like the Universe Creation Pill to further enhance the strength of the Pavilion Elder of the Sea God Pavilion.
Especially Xuanzi, if things had followed the original trajectory, Xuanzi would have advanced to the Limit Douluo with the help of the Universe Creation Pill.
However, things aren't too bad now. He has a bunch of Immortal Herb to choose from, and whether he can advance to the Limit Douluo depends on Xuanzi's luck.
Wang Yan's situation is the same.
As for the introduction of Immortal Herb, Zhou Huan didn't need to elaborate. One of them was a well-read theoretical researcher, and the other was the Sea God Pavilion Master. They both knew about Immortal Herb, especially the ones that the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils had consumed. Shrek had records of all of them.
In the end, Wang Yan only took two Immortal Herbs, presumably for himself and Han Ruoruo, while Xuanzi took five, judging from Immortal Herb effects, probably for Yan Shaozhe and the others, as well as for himself.
Seeing this, Zhou Huan understood Wang Yan and Xuanzi's thoughts. After all, a steady stream is best, and although there are many Immortal Herbs, there is no need to pick too many at once.
Moreover, there isn't a single student who currently deserves the academy's reward of the Immortal Herb.
It seems that after Zhou Huan and Huo Yuhao's generation, Shrek has not produced any outstanding Disciple. Originally Le Wuxue was one, but she suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Huan and Xiao Xiao had already consumed the Immortal Herb. In addition, Huo Yuhao had also brought back the Immortal Herb for Jiang Nannan and Beibei, the Shrek Seven Devils of their generation, two years ago.
Xuanzi was aware of this, so there was no need to consider the distribution of Immortal Herb to the younger generation for the time being.
As for Zhou Huan's group coming to pick the Immortal Herb, neither the "guardian" Aromatic Silk Beauty nor the temperamental Infernal Delicate Apricot seemed to see them, letting Zhou Huan and his group do whatever they wanted.
Because we really can't beat them.
Not only Zhou Huan, but even the old man exuded an aura that was enough to terrify these tiny Immortal Herb.
That is, the middle-aged man's aura was slightly weaker.
Fortunately for the Immortal Herb, these humans did not target the Immortal Herb that had developed sentience; they only took the Immortal Herb that had not yet developed sentience but were still old enough.
After retrieving the immortal Immortal Herb, Zhou Huan only sent a single message to Aromatic Silk Beauty before returning to Shrek with Xuanzi and Wang Yan.
After Zhou Huan and the other two left, there was a silence for about ten seconds in the valley, followed by a chattering sound.
"Hey, you who's almost at the Extreme Fire, didn't you regret not going with that human back then? Why aren't you saying anything this time?"
"I... I feel like we're incompatible. His Cold Ice Qi is too strong; I'd definitely die if I got close to him."
"Tch! You're just a coward! All you do is offer hindsight advice!"
"Oh, you make it sound like you're so brave. But why were you standing there like a dead man, not daring to utter a sound?"
"Beep--See, I beeped, it just means the sound came out a little slower. What does it have to do with me that those humans are walking too fast? I'm notoriously slow, don't you know that?"
"... I think this is a disease."
"You're the one who's sick!"
"What's all the fuss about? You two are both crazy! The person's gone, what are you still saying!"
"Exactly! That's crazy!"
"Sigh, you guys still have the energy to argue? This place is practically becoming humanity's backyard. This Zhou Huan has come twice, and that Huo Yuhao has come twice too. We haven't seen this many times in tens of thousands of years."
"You seem to have misunderstood something. You're saying that just because no one comes, we're not like flowers in the back garden?"
"..."
Putting aside the noisy chatter of the group of Immortal Herb, at this moment, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, looking rather dejected, finally came to the side of the Aromatic Silk Beauty and asked, "Youyou, what did that human say to you before he left?"
Infernal Delicate Apricot couldn't hear Zhou Huan's telepathic message to Aromatic Silk Beauty, but she could see the changes in Aromatic Silk Beauty.
After Zhou Huan glanced at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Infernal Delicate Apricot noticed that its petals wilted slightly, clearly indicating that Zhou Huan had said something.
Faced with the question from the Infernal Delicate Apricot, the petals of the Aromatic Silk Beauty swayed weakly a few times before replying, "It's nothing. Let's just live each day peacefully. Let them come if they want; at least they won't kill any sentient Immortal Herb."
Infernal Delicate Apricot: "... You're just giving up. But what about the orders from that person ten thousand years ago? Didn't he tell you to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
However, upon hearing the word "caretaker," Aromatic Silk Beauty fell completely silent, but inwardly she was cursing wildly. "Caretaker, caretaker, caretaker my ass! I've been caring for you for a full ten thousand years, and I haven't received a single benefit from it! And now I have to care for you again! What am I supposed to care for?!"
Actually, it's not surprising that Aromatic Silk Beauty were left unused, because Zhou Huan's message to her before leaving was. "From now on, you'll be in charge of guarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for me. I have high hopes for you."
At that moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty wanted to retort, "Damn it! Caregiver, caregiver, caregiver again! Did I have a caregiver's face by birth?! I'm just a flower, not a security guard!"
Unfortunately, just because she's only a flower, she can't beat them!
They could only swallow the dew, suffering in silence.
Why are all these damned people making things difficult for her, a mere flower?
So, at this moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty thought, "Forget it. Whether it's the person from ten thousand years ago or this person now, neither of them are good people. Let them do whatever they want. I don't care anymore, okay?"
Seeing that Aromatic Silk Beauty, Infernal Delicate Apricot raised a small petal and patted her pale pink petals, comforting her, "Youyou, are you under too much pressure? Or is that human named Zhou Huan threatening you?"
Aromatic Silk Beauty: "..." I'm tired and don't want to talk. Maybe I should just be struck dead by a bolt of lightning so I won't have to worry anymore. Hmm, thinking about it, it seems like the next Heavenly Tribulation isn't far off.
Infernal Delicate Apricot continued, "How about we leave here? And hide far away?"
Upon hearing this, the Aromatic Silk Beauty finally spoke, "Where can we hide? As Immortal Herb, if we go out, we'll become food for human Soul Master, or even Ferocious Beasts, and die even faster."
Infernal Delicate Apricot hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "How about we learn from Octagonal and Narcissus?"
After listening, Aromatic Silk Beauty remained silent for a moment before replying, "... He probably doesn't need any more Immortal Herb. Didn't you notice that he didn't take any Immortal Herb with him this time?"
"Alas," both Aromatic Silk Beauty and Infernal Delicate Apricot sighed at the same time, "Even a meal can't compare to a hot one."
