Dugu Bo left Sunset Forest with Xiao Chen. After they said their goodbyes, he returned to Heaven Dou City with Dugu Yan.
Xiao Chen then rejoined Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others. The moment they met, Hu Liena hurried over and asked whether Dugu Bo had given him any trouble.
"Don't worry. Poison Douluo's a decent guy. He even gave me a treasure when I left!" As he spoke, Xiao Chen took out the system reward, the Nine-Orifice Illusion Heart Lotus.
The moment Chrysanthemum Douluo saw the Nine-Orifice Illusion Heart Lotus, his eyes went wide.
He had always been passionate about rare flowers and plants, and he recognized at a glance that this lotus was no ordinary thing. It was a top-grade Immortal Herb nurtured by heaven and earth.
Gazing at its glistening petals, which shimmered with a clear radiance, he unconsciously held his breath. A storm of emotion surged through him, and his face filled with incredulous admiration and fascination. His eyes remained fixed on the Immortal Herb, unable to look away for a long time.
"That old poisoner gave this to you?" Ghost Douluo asked in disbelief. He wasn't as obsessed with flowers and plants as Chrysanthemum Douluo, but he could still tell this lotus was no ordinary thing.
"Yeah. I helped Poison Douluo with a small favor, and he gave me this Nine-Orifice Illusion Heart Lotus as payment!" Xiao Chen replied.
"Nine-Orifice Illusion Heart Lotus!" Chrysanthemum Douluo murmured. "What a lovely name. I never thought there was a rare flower on the Douluo Continent that even I didn't know!"
"You don't recognize it?" Ghost Douluo asked in surprise.
"There are countless rare flowers in the world. How could I know them all?" Chrysanthemum Douluo replied.
Just then, the Nine-Orifice Illusion Heart Lotus quivered with a shimmer of light.
