Lovesick Heartbreak Red

The two said goodbye to Ye Yuan'er and prepared to head straight to Pope Hall.

They needed to tell Bibi Dong about this.

As they passed Elder Ju's courtyard, Su Wen spotted Chrysanthemum Douluo watering the flowers with a delicate, orchid-pointing hand.

He casually plucked a chrysanthemum and held it to his nose. It smelled entirely of daisies.

"Heh heh, Su Wen, what brings you here... You brat..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was a little surprised to see Su Wen and Hu Liena. When he saw Su Wen pluck one of his flowers, his flamboyant expression changed at once.

His smile vanished, and he strode over in a fury.

But when Su Wen suddenly took out a chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes flickered. He slid over in a swift tackle and landed right in front of them.

Hu Liena jumped in fright. Chrysanthemum Douluo paid no attention to her startled look. Staring at the flower in Su Wen's hand, he trembled all over, his lips quivering.

"Th-this... the S-Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum..."

"This is actually the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared in shock and reached out to touch it.

But just as he was about to make contact, he pulled his hand back.

He seemed afraid he might damage it.

He looked it over again and again, unable to hide his delight.

"Elder Ju, you don't have to get down on your knees just because I picked one of your flowers!"

Su Wen was quite pleased with Chrysanthemum Douluo's reaction.

He patted Chrysanthemum Douluo on the shoulder, gesturing for him to get up.

"I..."

A trace of embarrassment crossed Chrysanthemum Douluo's face, but at that moment, he couldn't spare a thought for it.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul. It took the form of a chrysanthemum, with fuzzy petals and a central stamen about half a foot tall, surrounded by a golden glow. Its appearance was almost identical to the flower in Su Wen's hand.

Hu Liena covered her mouth in surprise. "Senior Brother, they look so alike!"

Chapter 41: Lovesick Heartbreak Red

"These are both Immortal Herbs, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums."

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared excitedly at Su Wen. "Su Wen, where did you get this... Wait, you've eaten an Immortal Herb... Hu Liena, you've eaten one too..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes suddenly widened.

There was the aura of Immortal Herbs on both Su Wen and Hu Liena.

He placed a hand on Su Wen's shoulder and probed him with his Soul Power.

"Th-this... you're already at level twenty-eight..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was astonished.

"Elder Ju, this Immortal Herb seems like a perfect fit for you, doesn't it?"

Su Wen changed the subject.

He waved the Immortal Herb in his hand.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's attention shifted to it, and his eyes followed as it moved back and forth.

"It certainly is..."

He swallowed.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seemed tailor-made for him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was sure of it.

With this Immortal Herb, he could definitely break through to level ninety-six in the future.

Perhaps even level ninety-seven.

His Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul would undergo a qualitative transformation as well.

"Then it's yours!"

Su Wen placed it in Elder Ju's hands, then left with Hu Liena.

Chrysanthemum Douluo stood there, holding the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in a daze.

Wait.

He just gave it to me?

Just like that?

Even as a Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo was a little stunned.

Su Wen hadn't even asked for anything in return?

He was a Titled Douluo, after all. There were plenty of things he could do.

"Oh, right, Elder Ju. I almost forgot something..."

When Su Wen suddenly turned back, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew he was bound to make a request.

"That Dugu Bo has already pledged himself to me, so don't give him a hard time. Also, you know what to do about the Immortal Herbs. Keep it a secret..."

With that, Su Wen turned and left, leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo holding the Immortal Herb and standing there in stunned disbelief.

He'd gotten an Immortal Herb just like that?

"Senior Brother, Elder Ju was so excited!"

Hu Liena blinked at him.

"Mm."

Su Wen nodded casually.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was extremely loyal to Spirit Hall.

He had also given Su Wen the Immortal Herb Catalog.

Su Wen was simply repaying him.

Besides, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum really was a perfect fit for Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The only shame was that he didn't have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Otherwise, reaching the Limit Douluo realm would be within his grasp.

The two arrived at Pope Hall, but Bibi Dong wasn't there. Su Wen took Hu Liena straight to her residence.

In the courtyard, two maids stood by the door and bowed respectfully. "Young Master Su Wen, Miss Hu Liena, His Holiness the Pope is having a meal. She said you could go right in."

Su Wen nodded slightly. Just as he was about to enter, he stopped and asked, "How's her mood?"

"Whoosh!"

The door suddenly opened. A scent of violets wafted out, along with a voice that sounded amused and amused at once.

"If you want to know, why not come in and see for yourself?"

Su Wen entered, looking a little awkward. Hu Liena smiled faintly and followed at a leisurely pace.

The two maids exchanged glances, stifled a laugh, and then closed the door.

Inside, Bibi Dong sat in a chair before a table laden with food.

She wore a golden gown, her wine-red hair cascading over her shoulders. Her captivating eyes were fixed intently on Su Wen.

"Heh heh, my disciple's back from getting his Spirit Ring... Hm, what level are you?"

Bibi Dong had been about to tease him, but when she sensed that his Soul Power wasn't at level twenty-one or twenty-two, confusion filled her beautiful eyes.

"Level twenty-eight!"

Su Wen replied casually, looking at the food in front of him.

He pulled over two chairs, plopped down, and picked up the chopsticks nearby, eating without the slightest hesitation.

Hu Liena didn't touch the food. She simply watched him, blinking, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"Level twenty-eight?"

Bibi Dong stood up in surprise, walked over to Su Wen, and placed a hand on his shoulder to carefully sense his Soul Power.

"You really are level twenty-eight!"

Bibi Dong was completely taken aback. The boy's physique had improved tremendously, and his Soul Power had risen by eight levels in just a few days without the slightest hint of instability. Her curiosity was piqued.

Seeing how happily he was eating, Bibi Dong snatched the chopsticks from his hand.

"Stop eating. You can eat later... Show me your Spirit Rings."

Su Wen didn't resist. He stood up, and one yellow and one purple Spirit Ring rose from beneath his feet.

The moment the purple Spirit Ring appeared, Bibi Dong fell silent.

She knew Su Wen's physique was strong enough for him to absorb a thousand-year Spirit Ring.

She had already prepared herself for it, since his first Spirit Ring had also surpassed expectations.

But this Spirit Ring wasn't an ordinary thousand-year one. Its Soul Power fluctuations suggested it was at least four thousand years old, perhaps even five thousand.

"Impressive, isn't it, Teacher?"

Su Wen stood with his hands in his pockets, looking rather pleased with himself.

At the same time, he carefully watched her expression.

"How did you manage that? Given your condition, a thousand-year Spirit Ring was certainly possible, but one this powerful is unexpected,"

Bibi Dong asked.

"Nana!"
