The Flower Language of Fragrant Qiluo, King of the Immortal Herbs; Leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

At the center of the Ice and Fire Dual Springs, Ye Que sat cross-legged. His skin had turned bronze, and a divine light seemed to flicker beneath it.

His skin was no longer smooth and delicate. Instead, he looked like a Body Sect disciple who had spent years training in martial arts.

The power of tempering the body in ice and fire lay in forging an Indestructible Diamond Body: blades and spears could not pierce it, it granted strength beyond that of ordinary people, and its physical toughness rivaled that of a Super Soul Beast.

And now, he had succeeded!

Ye Que snapped his eyes open, and the Ice and Fire Dual Springs fell silent once more.

Forging the Indestructible Diamond Body had consumed the essence of the two Dragon Kings, as well as a great deal of spiritual energy from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But in the end, he had succeeded.

He now possessed an Indestructible Diamond Body, his physical toughness rivaling that of Beast God Di Tian at the same level of strength.

The only pity was that the two Dragon Kings had no desire to become attached to the Angel Clan.

Even after the exalted Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen, leaving only their dragon souls behind here, they still refused to become attached to the Angel Clan's descendants.

Still, they had helped Ye Que temper his body. At the very least, they had purified his bloodline power, ensuring he would not be suppressed by the Dragon King Martial Soul.

"Thank you both."

Standing before the Ice and Fire Dual Springs, Ye Que cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

The two Dragon Kings did not respond. They had fallen asleep once more.

Dragon Subduing Douluo and the others gathered around.

Yu Mengdi asked curiously, "Young Master, have you improved again?"

Ye Que put on his undershirt and outer robe. "I call this an Indestructible Diamond Body. Its physical toughness rivals that of a Super Soul Beast at the same level. It gives me the best possible foundation for condensing a Second Soul Core in the future, so there's no need to worry that my body won't be tough enough."

"I can absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring now. If I had a Second Martial Soul, I could add Soul Rings to it right away. Having every one of them be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring wouldn't be a problem."

The three of them were stunned by Ye Que's words.

A human with a body as tough as a Super Soul Beast at the same level—could he even still be called human?

Ye Que was practically a humanoid Soul Beast.

Dragon Subduing Douluo reached out and gave Ye Que a hearty slap on the shoulder, laughing. "Good, good! It seems you already know about the Second Soul Core. With a body this powerful, I'm no longer worried that you'll run into problems condensing a Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core in the future."

"A thousand years have passed. It's only right that the Angel Clan should produce another god."

Ye Que smiled. "Elder Dragon Subduing, you've successfully condensed a Second Soul Core and broken through to Limit Douluo, haven't you?"

Dragon Subduing Douluo slowly nodded, gripping the Coiling Dragon Staff.

It was pure luck, truly!

Without the young master, he would never have become a Limit Douluo in his lifetime.

But now that he had, if those Evil Soul Masters came looking for trouble again, they could hardly blame him for showing no mercy.

"Young Master, it's time to get your Fifth Soul Ring and Sixth Soul Ring, as well as Xiao Meng's Fifth Soul Ring."

Guangyu Douluo suddenly brought up the important matter.

Ye Que nodded. "All right, let's go."

Then the group reached the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, ready to leave.

Youyou said reluctantly, "Human, will you come back to visit me?"

"Maybe."

Ye Que gave her an uncertain answer, since he had already picked enough Immortal Herbs before leaving.

Youyou looked crestfallen. She took a purple bead from her arms and offered it to Ye Que, her voice sweet. "Sir, I can't leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Take my Heart of Qiluo with you. It can help you resist every poison and make you immune to all the toxins in the world."

"It's called the flower language of Fragrant Qiluo."

Ye Que took the bead, somewhat bewildered, his mind going blank.

Wait, this flower was getting stranger by the minute.

Was she declaring her love for him?

Did anyone fall in love at first sight after just one meeting? And you're a flower—what do you know about flower language?

"Young Master, this flower has gained a spirit. Not only can she tell stories and preach, but she also understands human relationships. She even seems to worship the Angel God," Guangyu Douluo whispered in Ye Que's ear.

After hearing that, Ye Que looked at the flower, whose purple hues gave her a distinct charm. "I'll come again next time."

Satisfied, Youyou happily saw Ye Que and the others out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then closed the entrance again.

"Youyou, you're a flower. How can you declare your love to a human?"

Not far away, Ajiao transformed into a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress and denounced Youyou's behavior.

Could she just hand over her Heart of Qiluo like that? It took ten thousand years to condense one.

Ajiao couldn't understand what Youyou was thinking.

Holding a storybook, Youyou said, "It's called love at first sight. You're just a cabbage. What do you know about love at first sight?"

"But humans and Soul Beasts are different species! And you're a Plant-type Soul Beast—you're a plant!" Ajiao protested.

Youyou glared at her with wide, beautiful eyes and said sweetly, "So what if we're Soul Beasts? Does that mean we can't become human? I don't want to keep being a mindless Soul Beast. I'm the bane of all poisons, the King of the Immortal Herbs."

"Even a plant should have ambitions, shouldn't it? Besides, I'm an Immortal Herb, and I'm already a peerless beauty."

"Blue Silver Emperor was a plant too, and she still became part of a beautiful legend ten thousand years ago."

"Ning Caichen and a female ghost became a beautiful legend too. So why can't I? How does this make me a traitor to the Soul Beasts?"

"And I'm an Immortal Herb, so I'm more noble than Blue Silver Emperor."

Ajiao still disapproved, worried Youyou would be used and discarded.

She might lose her virtue, and then end up counting the money after the humans had sold her.

Humans were all deceitful by nature, as far as she knew. Even the Sea God was no exception.

Youyou rolled her eyes. "Forget it. There's no explaining this to a cabbage that hasn't gained awareness. You don't understand what it means to invest. You can stay here for the rest of your life."

"My predecessor failed to become a god. I can't afford to miss my chance. That human has divinity in him. I absolutely won't invest in the wrong person. He'll definitely become the next Angel God, and I'll follow a deity to gain eternal life. We'll be together forever."

"And Ajiao, stop picking on me. I'm the queen of the Immortal Herbs. Every Immortal Herb must bow before me. Keep criticizing me, and I'll throw you onto Ye Que's bed to be his maid and warm it for him. Hmph!"

Several hours later, Ye Que and the others arrived at the Body Sect's main hall.

Their targets this time were two Super Soul Beasts with cultivation periods of over a hundred and fifty thousand years, each infinitely close to being a two-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast.

There was also a Soul Beast of around eighty thousand years, prepared for Yu Mengdi.

Though Dragon Subduing Douluo had already advanced to Limit Douluo, Ye Que still sought out the experts in hunting Soul Beasts to make absolutely sure nothing went wrong.

When it came to hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, the Body Sect was made for the job. Du Busi was the best of the best; even the sect masters had all risen through the same path.

Forty people had once infiltrated Star Dou Forest and hunted seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in succession, provoking a stampede of beasts. Several Ferocious Beasts had joined forces to attack Shrek City.

The hunt was on record, and the results could be verified.

Every trade had its specialists. For this, the Body Sect was the place to go.

Even if something unexpected happened, the powerful fighters taking part in this operation could handle it. They weren't afraid even of provoking a stampede.

Before long, Du Busi sensed an old friend's visit and flew out with a hearty laugh, meeting Ye Que and the others.

But the moment they met, Du Busi's smile vanished. His gaze shifted to Dragon Subduing Douluo, and all laughter left his face.
