Immortal Herb Transforms

Hum--!

As his intent fell, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which had just regained its vitality, was completely enveloped by a mass of green light, rich to the extreme.

The light was soft and pure, brimming with the breath of life.

It was as if the life force of the entire Soul Beast Paradise was converging upon it at this very moment.

Within the sphere of light, a slender and graceful female figure was slowly condensing and taking shape.

She seemed like a goddess stepping out from the origin of life; every contour was flawlessly perfect, carrying an innate nobility and serenity.

[Congratulations to the Host, the Aromatic Silk Beauty has successfully evolved!]

[Due to her plant-based life nature and high resonance with the Soul Beast Paradise, she will be the natural manager and guardian of the paradise, skilled in tending to ley lines, harmonizing energy, and pharmacological cultivation.]

The system's notification, carrying a hint of self-satisfaction, rang in Li Hao's mind.

A natural manager?

Li Hao's head, which had been dizzy from overexertion, instantly cleared a little.

Just then, the brilliant green light began to slowly recede, retreating like a tide until it finally merged entirely into the figure's body.

A young girl dressed in a jade-green gown appeared before everyone.

She stood quietly beneath the Illusion Dream Tree Demon, her snow-white feet bare, treading upon the soft green grass.

Her expression was tranquil and gentle, her skin so fair it was nearly translucent, and her clear eyes seemed to contain the purest wisdom and peace in the world.

A cascade of ink-green hair draped softly behind her, adorned with a fully bloomed Beautiful Nine-Petal Immortal Flower—the very form of the Aromatic Silk Beauty's true self.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted from her, making everyone nearby feel invigorated.

She lacked the liveliness of Xiao Wu, the domineering aura of Medusa, and the coldness of Zhu Zhuqing.

She was like the valley itself: serene, gentle, and all-encompassing.

The girl's gaze fell immediately upon Li Hao, who was being supported by Zhu Zhuqing.

She slowly lifted her hem and performed an ancient, elegant bow toward Li Hao.

Her vermilion lips parted, and her voice was as clear as a mountain spring, tinkling and washing over the soul.

"Master... Qiluo, reporting to you."

As the words fell, an invisible golden contract was quietly forged between the two, branded deeply into the depths of their souls.

It was a Soul Contract.

Li Hao felt that absolute loyalty and reliance stemming from the soul, and he was left completely dazed.

The fourth family member...

Was born just like that?

And she looked like a particularly reliable, housekeeper-type?

[New bond "Qiluo" detected and forged.]

[Name: Qiluo]

[Race: Aromatic Silk Beauty (Plant-type Soul Beast)]

[Abilities: Pharmacology Mastery, All-Things Cultivation, Spiritual Energy Affinity, Paradise Management (Talent)]

[Evaluation: She possesses no direct combat power, but she alone can support the logistics and foundation of a top-tier sect. Host, your dream of being a slacker has taken a giant leap forward.]

Looking at the list of abilities provided by the system, Li Hao's heart began to thump wildly, unable to contain itself.

Pharmacology Mastery!

All-Things Cultivation!

And most importantly... Paradise Management!

Wasn't this the perfect tool—ah, no, the perfect family member he had been dreaming of!

A super head steward who could keep the entire paradise in perfect order, allowing him to fish in peace without worrying about a thing!

He, a socially anxious and lazy landlord, was finally going to be liberated!

"Wow! A new sister!"

Xiao Wu was the first to crowd over. She circled around Qiluo curiously, her pink, delicate nose sniffing hard.

"You're so pretty! You smell so good, much better than carrots!"

Qiluo offered Xiao Wu a gentle smile; it was like a spring breeze, and Xiao Wu instantly took a liking to her.

Medusa, meanwhile, stood to the side with her arms crossed, her emerald snake-eyes filled with scrutiny.

When she heard of Qiluo's innate abilities, even she, a former Dou Emperor, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

The strategic value of such high-level support abilities was even greater than that of a Title Douluo!

She could foresee what earth-shaking changes the addition of this new family member would bring to the Soul Beast Paradise.

Zhu Zhuqing also gave Qiluo a few extra looks, which was rare for her.

She could feel that the pure aura of life emanating from Qiluo brought a sense of relief to her body, which had been eroded by Nether Power for years.

This new family member seemed... quite wonderful.

Just as Li Hao was reveling in his joy, imagining a beautiful, laid-back life in the future.

Qiluo had already begun to settle into her role as the head steward.

She closed her eyes, and the Qiluo Immortal Herb worn in her hair emitted a soft halo of light.

An invisible perception, centered on her, instantly enveloped the entire Soul Beast Paradise.

Every inch of the valley's soil, every ripple of the lake water, every leaf of the Illusion Dream Tree Demon, and even the emotions of the newly attracted Shadow-Devouring Butterfly and Nightmare Beast cubs were clearly presented in her mind.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, walked up to Li Hao, and reported softly:

"Master, there are three points of stagnation in the paradise's life energy cycle. The shadow energy in the Nether Ecological Zone is too overbearing, hindering the growth of surrounding plants. The energy convergence speed at the Lake Heart Island can be increased by another thirty percent..."

She pointed out the current problems in the paradise with clear logic and high efficiency, even having already devised solutions for each.

Without even waiting for Li Hao's approval, she turned toward the Illusion Dream Tree Demon in the center of the valley and bowed slightly.

The massive canopy of the Illusion Dream Tree Demon rustled, its countless branches swaying gently as if in response to her.

The next second, the energy flow throughout the entire paradise underwent a subtle and efficient transformation.

Li Hao: "..."

He felt that as a landlord, he was about to be unemployed on the spot.

This feeling...

Was just too good!

With Qiluo's official addition and her reorganization of the paradise's energy.

A surge of soul power, larger and purer than ever before, flowed back into Li Hao's body through the bond of Ability Sharing.

His sea of energy, drained from extreme fishing, was instantly replenished, even showing signs of a breakthrough.

His mental power also became tougher and more expansive due to the connection with Qiluo, and his perception of the entire paradise became several times clearer.

Li Hao exhaled a long breath of stale air, the weakness throughout his body swept away, replaced by an unprecedented sense of fullness and strength.

He looked at the perfect steward currently "conversing" with the Illusion Dream Tree Demon, his heart filled with peace and reliance.

From today on, he could finally...

However, before he could finish that thought.

Qiluo, who had just been organizing the paradise's energy, suddenly wore a look of gravity on her serene face.

Her figure flickered, and she appeared instantly by Li Hao's side.

"Master."

Her voice was no longer as clear and soft as before, but instead carried a hint of vigilance.

"Outside the paradise, in the southeast direction, there is a very powerful soul power fluctuation approaching us at high speed."

"It seems... to be heading straight for the paradise."

Li Hao's heart sank abruptly.

Qiluo paused, a cold glint reflecting in her clear eyes.

"I can sense that she carries an extreme chill and undisguised killing intent."
