Gu Yuena sighed, feeling both relieved and disappointed.
Ms. Herta had gifted Zhang Lexuan Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
If Zhang Lexuan could really absorb them, then with her Soul Power stuck at level 80, she might shoot straight to Titled Douluo.
"Little Silver Dragon, this is the one that suits you best: Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. It's good for your skin!"
Gu Yuena received her Immortal Herb and seemed not to hear Ms. Herta's form of address.
Or perhaps she was pretending not to hear it. What if Herta already knew who she was?
Wouldn't that make her a laughingstock of a dragon!
"Old Gu's skin is already great!"
Bai Mo ran a finger across the back of Gu Yuena's hand.
Gu Yuena gave Bai Mo a complicated look, then turned to Ms. Herta.
"Thank you. My family has a secret method to help with absorption, so I won't disturb you all any longer!"
With that, Gu Yuena straightened up and vanished from the training room in a flash, taking along the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, which was crying for help.
Bai Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Forget about Little Silver Dragon. Little Moon, try to see if you can absorb Lovesick Heartbreak Red."
"Little White Ghost, I can help you keep this quiet, but what about after that? Do you see her as a tool to use, or as a good friend?"
Ms. Herta asked teasingly.
"Ah..."
Bai Mo had wanted to go out and check on her, but Zhang Lexuan had already laid her cards on the table. Going after her now would make him seem like a terrible person.
In the end, all he could do was sigh helplessly.
Little Auspicious Beast curled up into a ball, feeling that this place was a little scary for a beast! Where had her Lord gone?
Zhang Lexuan's hair fell before her face as she spoke softly.
"I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position. You can..."
Cut it out, Sis! Please! Hurry up and drip your blood! Seeing Zhang Lexuan suddenly turn emo, Bai Mo was at a loss.
"Sister Lexuan! Drip your blood. I... really like you!"
That was a lie! Bai Mo had only approached her for her Martial Soul, the Moon. His later actions against Shrek had been driven by the compassion of an ordinary person and his schemes surrounding the Fairy Boat's debut.
But she had gone for Lovesick Heartbreak Red! Even if she couldn't pluck it, that still meant she liked him!
Bai Mo couldn't exactly push her away!
Zhang Lexuan pressed her lips together and gave a quiet hum. A drop of blood fell from her fingertip onto Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Her mind was full of the time Ms. Herta had said he was coming to rescue her, and the hammer she had seen above Shrek Academy at the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce.
She didn't know who that Heavenly General was, but the only one who could summon one for her was Bai Mo, right?
(You've got it wrong, Sis! I mainly wanted revenge for Tingyun back then!)
Zhang Lexuan gently plucked Lovesick Heartbreak Red and gazed at Bai Mo with tender eyes, saying nothing.
He was still young. She could wait.
That was what she thought.
"Sister Lexuan, I might be... a little bit of a flirt~"
Bai Mo looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had plucked Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Zhang Lexuan shook her head and said nothing. Or rather, this usually gentle woman was too embarrassed to speak.
"Everyone, take your seats! Ms. Huang Quan will help you refine the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs!"
"Sorry for the trouble, Ms. Herta."
Huang Quan answered, reaching for her sword. In the end, she had kept the habit.
Everyone felt an immense power surge from Huang Quan and flow into their bodies.
At the sight of this, the Immortal Herbs all sacrificed themselves to their respective hosts.
Under Huang Quan's suppression, the disturbance caused by the Immortal Herbs' sacrifices couldn't even leave the training room.
Huang Quan held it firmly within the room.
Then Bai Mo and the girls calmed their minds and slowly absorbed the Soul Power and medicinal energy from the Immortal Herbs as it flowed into their bodies.
Ms. Herta ran real-time calculations on the data from the Immortal Herbs' absorption. She planned to have these little ones try out her Symbiotic Contract.
The Symbiotic Contract was an idea Ms. Herta had come up with after Bai Mo mentioned the concept of Soul Spirits.
Simply put, it was much like a Soul Spirit.
The differences were:
First, the Soul Beasts that signed Symbiotic Contracts would generally be Standard Soul Beasts produced inside the Simulated Universe. They had only instincts, no souls.
Second, there was a chance for Symbiotic Soul Beasts to develop souls while accompanying their Soul Masters. If a Soul Beast that had developed a soul died, the Soul Master would lose at least 30 levels of Soul Power. Moreover, after contracting another Soul Beast, the Simulated Universe would extract 20% of the Soul Power the Soul Master cultivated as a penalty.
Third, a Soul Beast could serve a Soul Master all the way to Titled Douluo. In other words, one Soul Beast could provide a Soul Master with up to nine Soul Rings.
Of course, Ms. Herta wouldn't let the group's Symbiotic Immortal Herbs develop souls. That would only cause trouble later.
Besides, Bai Mo had come up with this contract in the first place as a way to keep Gu Yuena in line in the future.
Gu Yuena returned to Minghuo Academy in a daze.
She didn't even know why she had come back here.
Was she waiting for someone to come and explain things to her?
Gu Yuena walked along, lost in thought.
"Hey, senior! Do you know where I can apply for the Green Trial Tower?"
Wang Dong had just cleared the White Trial Tower, but she certainly didn't want to remain a lowest-tier student!
But applying for the Green Trial Tower was necessary, so Wang Dong had to look for a nearby teacher.
Just then, as if controlled by some mysterious force, she suddenly turned around and saw a stunning silver-haired girl in white.
"No idea."
Gu Yuena was irritated, and for some reason, seeing this boy asking for directions irritated her even more.
"Does that mean you haven't even cleared the White Trial Tower, senior? Then how did you get into the academy?"
Wang Dong was shocked.
"What's it to you!"
Gu Yuena gave Wang Dong a disgusted look, turned around, and headed for the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, which she had left not long ago.
"Humans are so disgusting. Just looking at them makes me uncomfortable. They're nothing like Xiao Bai!"
She decided to give Bai Mo one more chance. If he couldn't satisfy her—
Hmph!
Gu Yuena planned to drag him straight back to the Lake of Life and make him her breeding tool!
Ning Tian: 8 years old, level 34 Soul Elder, Yellow Yellow Purple Red
Wu Feng: 8 years old, level 30 Soul Elder, Yellow Yellow Purple Red
Zhang Lexuan: level 89 Soul Douluo, Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Red
Jiang Nannan: 14 years old, level 47 Soul Ancestor, Yellow Yellow Purple Red
Nan Qiuchiu: 8 years old, level 29 Soul Grandmaster, Yellow Red
Wu Qingyao: level 93 Titled Douluo, Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Red
Tingyun: level 81
Bai Mo: 8 years old, level 25 Soul Grandmaster, Yellow Purple
Gu Qiu'er: 6 years old, level 25 Soul Grandmaster, Red Red
Fine, fine, fine! Bai Mo laughed in anger. One Hundred Thousand Year Immortal Herb had raised his level by one and a half, which was still less Soul Power than he gained from turning the Emperor Scepter for two months.
Without all the good stuff he had, he probably couldn't even beat six-year-old Gu Qiu'er!
Now that was what you called a world!
The most useful thing to Bai Mo in Douluo Continent was the Golden Tree!
Wu Feng lifted her little chin and pursed her lips disdainfully at Bai Mo.
Bai Mo: ...
"All right, Bai, I caught a divine soul inside your Emperor Scepter. Help me go in and analyze it!"
Little Black Tower waved her hand, cutting off everyone's celebration, and spoke feebly.
"Bring our Sister Quan along too!"
Bai Mo waved his hand grandly! It was time to let the enemy taste Past Blade Light!
