Treating You to a Meal, Gifting Immortal Herbs

Two weeks later, in a Keman Tower private room at Shrek City.

After dealing with the two Evil Soul Master he encountered on the road, Zhou Huan returned to Peach Spring Village and stayed there for several more days. Only after confirming that no other Evil Soul Master would come did he return to Shrek City.

There are still seven days until the start of school. Keman Tower is the place Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan had arranged to meet before the holiday, and today is the exact time.

Zhou Huan was also quite helpless. He wasn't qualified to enter Sea God Island, so every time he wanted to meet Zhang Lexuan had to come to him first, and then Zhou Huan would arrange the time and place for their next meeting in advance.

For example, this time, he made the appointment with Zhang Lexuan three months in advance.

Zhou Huan really didn't know when he would see Zhang Lexuan again. Zhang Lexuan rarely contacted him; she was either on a mission or staying at Sea God Island.

This made Zhou Huan somewhat want to enter the Inner Court, at least it would be much easier to meet people there.

However, he is currently just a weak Soul Emperor, and he's only about to enter the fourth grade. Entering the Inner Court at this time is not a good choice.

Therefore, this unsettling thought was only fleeting.

There's still plenty of time, no rush.

"Clap clap clap."

After a knock on the door of the private room, Zhou Huan walked over with a smile and opened the door, "Sister Lexuan, please come in."

After closing the door to the private room, the two walked over the screen and sat down at the dining table.

Without a doubt, Zhou Huan had prepared a feast.

With his increased strength, Zhou Huan can now easily acquire one or two thousand-year-old Soul Beast during his holidays, making money quite quickly.

However, because of the Snow Empress's presence, even if she didn't care, Zhou Huan always knew when to stop and wouldn't hunt too many Soul Beasts.

Money is enough for daily expenses.

Having reached his current level of strength, Zhou Huan could no longer hunt large numbers of Soul Beast.

Strength determines one's potential, and potential determines one's approach to life.

Zhou Huan is no longer the lonely Hunter needs to solve his basic needs for food and clothing.

Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent.

Back in the private room, Zhang Lexuan saw this familiar scene and couldn't help but wonder, "Is this kid up to something again?"

The last time they treated us to such a grand meal was to prepare for our trip to the Extreme North to obtain Soul Ring. And now they're doing it again?

Zhou Huan, of course, had no idea what Zhang Lexuan was thinking at that moment. Seeing that she showed no intention of picking up her chopsticks, she asked, "Sister Lexuan, what's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan simply shook her head slightly and said, "I was just wondering what surprise you're going to give me this time."

Zhou Huan: "... Can't I just want to have a meal with Sister Lexuan? It's not easy to see Sister Lexuan; you have to book an appointment months in advance."

Zhang Lexuan decisively stated, "You're not the kind of person who would go to such lengths to invite someone to dinner for no reason."

Zhou Huan was speechless. So, what kind of image do I have in your heart?

Helpless, Zhou Huan had no choice but to take out the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone that had not yet developed sentience from the Floating Pagoda.

When the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone appeared before Zhang Lexuan, her gaze sharpened. How could she not know what this thing was?

One of the Ten Immortal Herb: Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone!

One of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, the Immortal Herb that Zhu Zhuqing consumed back then.

After her initial surprise, Zhang Lexuan looked Zhou Huan up and down again, thinking to herself, "How can this guy be so lucky? Is it really true that he has an amazing encounter just by leaving the academy?"

However, Zhang Lexuan still said, "This Immortal Herb is more precious than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Are you going to save it for tomorrow?"

Zhou Huan: "... I've already taken it. This Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone is a gift for you."

After saying that, Zhou Huan used his Soul Power to push the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone into Zhang Lexuan's hands.

Zhang Lexuan was visibly taken aback for a moment, but instead of being coy and refusing, she accepted the Immortal Herb and said, "Thank you, consider it a favor I owe you."

However, Zhou Huan shook his head. "Let's not talk about this. If we're talking about favors, I owe Sister Lexuan a lot. From the recommendation letter when we first met, to obtaining the Soul Ring in the Extreme North, and then to the Fierce Beast Embryo in Star Luo City, it was all Sister Lexuan who helped me."

Zhou Huan genuinely felt that way.

Without Zhang Lexuan, his path would have been completely different, especially regarding the Snow Empress incident.

How could Zhou Huan, a Soul Ancestor at the time, possibly have managed to seize the Snow Empress Embryo?

Therefore, giving the Immortal Herb to Zhang Lexuan wasn't just because he liked her, but also because he owed her too many favors.

Giving is always a two-way street; one can never only think about taking, especially in matters of the heart, even though he didn't know what role he played in Zhang Lexuan's heart.

After hearing Zhou Huan's words, Zhang Lexuan stopped talking about personal relationships and said, "Now that we've finished discussing this, we can eat."

But Zhou Huan then took out a bright red, hot lump of glue and said, "This one is for you too."

Zhang Lexuan was no longer surprised and casually took the ball of Blazing Gum: "What is this?"

Zhou Huan said, "It's the fiery Blazing Gum of the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Taking it can transform the Phoenix Evil Fire into a true Extreme Fire."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was both shocked and delighted; this was practically tailor-made for Ma Xiaotao.

She knew better than anyone that Ma Xiaotao had been suppressing her cultivation level for the past two years, and even with Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice help, she dared not add a seventh Soul Ring.

Yes, in the two years Soul Master Competition, Ma Xiaotao has already broken through to level 70.

But she dared not truly become Soul Sage!

Because once she becomes Soul Sage, Huo Yuhao, who hasn't even reached the Soul Ancestor yet, will absolutely no longer be able to suppress her Evil Fire with the Extreme Ice.

But now, with this Infernal Delicate Apricot Blazing Gum, the academy can definitely create a Super Douluo with Extreme Fire in the near future!

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan seriously. "This thing is very valuable, but I can't refuse it, so..."

Before Zhang Lexuan could finish speaking, Zhou Huan continued, "So, Sister Lexuan, you have to help me! I still need to deliver a few Immortal Herb to Xiao Xiao and the other two, but I don't want anyone else to bother me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately said, "Whether or not this ball of Blazing Gum exists, with me here, you're safe at Shrek, and no one will dare to investigate your destiny. Besides, don't worry, Shrek isn't the kind of place that would steal Disciple's destiny. Moreover, your background is perfectly clear; the academy wants to win you over, not do anything else to you."

Zhou Huan was actually aware of this.

Even though Shrek has its flaws, you can't deny that Shrek's a place where justice prevails.

It's not some immortal cultivation sect, nor is it some demonic cult. It's a place that anyone, regardless of who they are, would fight tooth and nail for if given the chance.

Shrek is ultimately a place that nurtures students.

Its legitimacy has even gone a bit too far, becoming meddling in other people's business.

However, the only thing Zhou Huan was certain of was that because his background was legitimate, Shrek wouldn't do anything to him, especially since Shrek now owed him a favor because of Blazing Gum and Ma Xiaotao.

This is why Zhou Huan didn't hide the matter of the Immortal Herb from Shrek's higher-ups.

Besides, if the Immortal Herb is given to Xiao Xiao and the others, the academy will definitely find out. So it's better to let Zhang Lexuan manage the relationships with the upper echelons of Shrek first.

Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "As long as Sister Lexuan understands what I mean, I just want to add some extra insurance."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan nodded. "I'll handle it."

Immediately afterward, Zhou Huan said, "By the way, Sister Lexuan, after you absorbed the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, you should be able to break through to the Titled Douluo level soon, right? Don't go to acquire Soul Ring yet. When you break through to Level 90, come find me; there's good news."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Hmm."

She'd stopped asking what good news it was; whenever Zhou Huan said something good was coming, it really was.

Sometimes, she wondered if Zhou Huan was truly blessed with good fortune.

But this guy is incredibly low-key; she doesn't even know what level of cultivation Zhou Huan has, or how much of the Fierce Beast Embryo's essence he has absorbed.

Zhou Huan gave her the impression that he was completely unlike those prodigies in the Douluo Continent who desperately tried to show off for their own pride and to obtain more resources.

However, Zhang Lexuan preferred Zhou Huan's quietness and lack of competitiveness.

Zhou Huan, of course, was unaware that Zhang Lexuan had thought of all this in a moment, and then said, "Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, shall we begin our meal?"

Zhang Lexuan: "..." She actually wanted to go back and consume the Immortal Herb as soon as possible.
