How Dare You Humiliate Me Like This? You Have Courted Death! Lovesick Heartbreak Red!
A crazy thought sprouted in Tang San's mind, Entanglement his reason like a poisonous vine.
"Let go of Xiao Wu!"
Tang San roared.
He charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.
He reached out, trying to forcibly separate the two.
Lin Qingmo frowned.
The tenderness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.
He didn't even let go of Xiao Wu, he just waved his hand casually.
A thick Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground in an instant, as thick as an adult's thigh.
The edges of the blades of grass gleamed with a metallic glint, and with a whistling gust of wind, they lashed fiercely at Tang San!
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed across the Training Ground.
"Ah!"
Tang San's screams.
He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a sandpit more than ten meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"How dare you touch Xiao Wu?"
Lin Qingmo then released Xiao Wu and shielded her behind him.
He stared coldly at Tang San, who was struggling in the sandpit.
"Tang San, have I really given you face? Listen carefully, I am Xiao Wu's lover, you are just an unrelated outsider."
"If I see you clinging to Xiao Wu again, next time it won't be as simple as just being slapped away."
His words carried a strong warning, like ice scraping against everyone's eardrums.
Is Tang Hao really abandoning his son?
Lin Qingmo complained to himself.
Including this time, Tang San must have been utterly humiliated by himself at least a hundred times, right?
And that petty-minded Titled Douluo has never shown his face even once.
Little did Tang Hao know that he was already exhausted from being hunted down by the Spirit Hall.
"Lin Qingmo!!!"
Tang San climbed out of the sandpit.
Covered in dust, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, he looked extremely disheveled.
He stared intently at Lin Qingmo, the resentment in his eyes almost tangible.
But he didn't go forward again.
Because reason told him that he was no match for Lin Qingmo.
The power of that Blue Silver Grass far exceeded the scope of ordinary plant-type Soul Skill.
They were equally puzzled as to why Lin Qingmo's Blue Silver Grass was so powerful, without even needing to unleash Soul Skill.
"Xiao Wu, let's go."
Lin Qingmo ignored Tang San, put his arm around Xiao Wu's shoulder, and turned to leave the Training Ground.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance.
I wanted to follow and say something, but in the end I stopped.
It's really inappropriate to disturb someone's blissful reunion after a long separation at this time.
As they watched Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu's departing figures, a complex mix of emotions welled up within them.
Only Tang San's palms were dripping with blood from the punctures caused by his fingernails.
Lin Qingmo!
How dare you bully me like this!
You have already chosen a path to death!
In the dormitory.
Xiao Wu nestled in Lin Qingmo's arms, chattering about what had happened after he left.
His tone was full of grievance and frustration as he talked about the hardships of training and the entanglements with Tang San and the others.
"That Tang San is so annoying! He brings me carrots every day, but I don't want to eat them. I only eat the ones A-Qing gives me!"
"Dai Mubai too, he always says disgusting things to Zhu Zhuqing."
"And Oscar, his Sausage look increasingly disgusting~"
Lin Qingmo listened patiently.
He would occasionally pat her head or pinch her ears.
After Xiao Wu had finished speaking, he gently comforted her, "Alright, I'm back. No one will dare to bully you anymore."
"Um!"
Xiao Wu nodded heavily, buried her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice.
"Did you encounter any danger during your cultivation trip? Was your Master good to you?"
"My Master is very good to me."
Lin Qingmo recalled the Immortal Herb in the Soul Tool Bibi Dong had given him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"As for danger, what cultivation is without danger? But it's all in the past now."
He paused, then lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Oh, by the way, I have a surprise for you tonight."
"Surprise?"
Xiao Wu looked up, her pink eyes filled with curiosity.
"What surprise? Can't you tell me now?"
"Is it still a surprise if I tell you now?"
Lin Qingmo pinched the tip of her nose, his smile slightly mischievous.
You'll find out tonight.
Xiao Wu pouted, but her eyes were full of anticipation.
She snuggled back into Lin Qingmo's arms, feeling his familiar scent.
The unease and anxiety I've felt over this period have finally completely dissipated.
With A-Qing around, everything is fine.
Night fell.
Moonlight bathed Shrek Academy like quicksilver.
Most of the students were already resting, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence of the night.
Lin Qingmo took Xiao Wu alone to the grove behind the dormitory.
This place is usually where students do their morning exercises, but it's exceptionally quiet at night.
Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light.
A gentle evening breeze rustled through the air.
Xiao Wu eagerly awaited the surprise Lin Qingmo had mentioned.
"Xiao Wu, close your eyes."
"Huh? Is it that mysterious?"
Although Xiao Wu was puzzled, she obediently closed her eyes.
Lin Qingmo took something out of the Soul Tool.
It was a flower that had not yet bloomed.
The flower buds are pale red, with a faint halo around their surface.
The flower stems are slender, the leaves are heart-shaped, and the whole plant exudes a peculiar aura.
It is both gentle and sorrowful, like a longing that has carried countless years of memories.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Xiao Wu opened her eyes, her gaze immediately drawn to the flower.
"What kind of flower is this? It has a strange feel to it."
She instinctively reached out to touch it.
"Don't rush."
Lin Qingmo pressed her hand down, his expression unusually serious, and said, "This is called the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, a Immortal Herb."
"Immortal Herb?!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
She had heard A-Qing talk about the miraculous effects of the Immortal Herb in the Chat Group.
Remembering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well possessed by A-Qing's Master, he immediately understood where this Immortal Herb came from.
"This Immortal Herb is very special."
Lin Qingmo held the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her palm; under the moonlight, the halo around the flower bud seemed even more intense.
"It needs blood and a true love to bloom; once it blooms, it can protect its master and even have the power to bring the dead back to life."
Xiao Wu stared blankly at the flower.
She could feel a strange resonance from the flowers, as if something was gently knocking on her heart.
"A-Qing, this is too precious, I..."
Don't say things like that.
Lin Qingmo interrupted her and handed the flowers to her.
"Give it a try, Xiao Wu."
"If you have someone you love, it will bloom for you."
"It's okay if it's not open, after all, we're still young."
He really didn't think Xiao Wu had any deep feelings for him.
After all, I had expressed my true thoughts to him.
Xiao Wu bit her lip and reached out to take the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
The flower bud trembled slightly in her palm.
The pale red halo slowly spread, enveloping her entire palm.
The moonlight grew even brighter.
The wind has stopped.
All sounds in the woods vanished at that moment.
Only that flower, and the girl holding it, became the sole focus of the night.
Lin Qingmo watched quietly.
His eyes reflected Xiao Wu's focused profile and the Immortal Herb radiating a gentle glow.
He didn't know if Xiao Wu could make the Lovesick Heartbreak Red bloom.
But he knew that, regardless of the outcome, some things were already more precious than any Immortal Herb.
