Chang Feng was very confident about drawing Han San over to his side, and he knew the matter couldn't be rushed.

After all, Xiao Wu and Han San had known each other for many years. They had long since built up trust, and their relationship was exceptionally close.

Even if Han San's heart had already begun to waver, he wouldn't easily abandon Han San.

If he tried to force Duoxu to become close to Huoyao, it might backfire.

Just then, the three girls, Huo Huo, Huoyao, and Xiao Wu, all felt the tremendous power of the sea god's divine message begin to stir. Their eyes met, and they exchanged a knowing glance before hurriedly getting up.

[Sure enough, just like in the previous life, Huohuo arranged for Han San and O'Sullivan to stay in the same dorm room. He was trying to get close to Han San first, then wait until he could stand on his own two feet.]

[Because I went to the academy with Zhu Qing, Han San was very unhappy about it. He must have already mistaken it for my hostility toward him.]

[After all, as far as he was concerned, my relationship with Zhu Qing had become so close that we were even staying in the same room. There was no way he could accept it.]

[Oh, right. The academy really is full of oddballs.]

[Huohuo had already started gambling, and spent all day thinking about dragging people to the Rose Hotel to do the deed.]

[Then there was Huoyao, who went back to picking flowers every few days. Otherwise, her Fire Phoenix transformation would make her lose control of her senses, and even cultivating could produce terrifying consequences.]

[And Chang Feng, who was full of schemes, along with Yu Xiao, the academy's two most prominent figures. Add Han San, that otherworldly demon, and all the rare and unusual people had gathered together.]

[O'Sullivan was a little better, but after spending so long with him in their previous life, they had still become an inseparable pair.]

[If I can use the right methods, I might be able to make Xiao Wu and Duoxu submit to me before long. But by then, when I start at the academy, how am I supposed to handle them?]

[Logically, the best choice would be the Spirit Hall, but the Spirit Hall had so many enforcers. Xiao Wu could easily be exposed as a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. With my current abilities, I couldn't protect her.]

[Or maybe I could find a way to cut off the immortal herb's effects. That way, while Han San received the immortal herb's benefits, I could use his grass to conceal Xiao Wu's soul beast aura.]

[It would be worth thinking it over carefully. After all, his grass had astonishing effects. It could not only improve spirit rings, but even help spirit beasts evolve directly.]

[For example, the poison in the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul that had plagued Duoxu's family. Just one blade of his grass could remove the poison, and even let her Martial Soul evolve.]

[If Duoxu's Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul ate one of those immortal herbs, it could evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. There would be no question about breaking through the Martial Soul's limits.]

[It could even heal Heavenly Emperor's Family, whose divine position had left him spiritually wounded. The grass might improve him too.]

[There weren't many immortal herbs, so I couldn't take care of everyone. When the time came, I could only allocate them according to how close they were to me.]

When he reached that point in his diary, Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. Instead of continuing to write, he took out the diary and smiled slightly, a hint of amusement playing at the corner of his mouth.

"After reading these contents, can you still sit still?"

Of course, she couldn't.

Inside the girls' dormitory, Duoxu stood up the moment she saw that page of the diary. Her petite face was filled with shock and excitement.

"An herb that can evolve a Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into a Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Luo Yuan actually knows where to find an immortal herb!"

Even though Duoxu had never heard of an immortal herb, she knew that the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a great treasure.

That was her family's Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. It had a chance to evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Once it evolved into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her family would be invincible.

The Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was already the continent's finest support-type Martial Soul. If it could evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then no support-type Martial Soul could ever compare to hers.

Even the Sea God inherited by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't be as good as the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Thinking of this, Duoxu couldn't help wondering: if Ning Zhi found out about this, would he trade all of his Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas for a single immortal herb? But even if he offered every treasure he had, it wouldn't be enough to show the value of the immortal herb and the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Although Duoxu was a carefree little witch, she knew just how important this matter was to the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Clan.

There were also shops in the Spirit Master trading district that sold things to help Martial Souls evolve, but they were unbelievably expensive.

If she could get the herb Luo Yuan had mentioned, she could save a fortune and spend it on other useful things.

Duoxu knew she had absolutely no leverage in this matter. Judging by the expression Luo Yuan had shown in his diary, she and he had been complete strangers in their previous life.

If she tried to get close to him in the ordinary way, she wouldn't be able to hide her intentions.

But she could act cute.

Originally, Duoxu had planned to make friends with Luo Yuan so she could have a steady supply of money every day. Now, with the immortal herb in the picture, she was even more determined to do so.

Seeing Duoxu's eagerness to move, Zhu Qing couldn't help but feel a trace of wariness.

Even though she knew Duoxu wanted to get close to Luo Yuan to obtain his grass, she would still end up falling in love with him.

She had no reason to stop her. She might even push them together and help Duoxu get close to Luo Yuan.

Only then, when Duoxu eventually joined their group, would Huoyao's usual calm be disturbed and the existence of the diary exposed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qing pursed her lips, her heart full of helplessness. Then she turned to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, I know it may be hard for you to accept Han San's being from another world."

"But you also heard what Huoyao said. If you end up exposed in front of a Spirit Hall enforcer, your identity as a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will be revealed in an instant."

"Even if it's for your own sake, I hope you'll make sure to stay close to Luo Yuan from now on. Only then, when he gets his grass, can you find a way to get an immortal herb that could conceal your soul beast aura."

Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

"I understand."

Zhu Qing let out a quiet sigh of relief, but at the same time, felt even more helpless.

By deliberately getting Huoyao closer to him and Xiao Wu, could she really find a woman who could help them resolve the issue?

She sighed.
