Tang San Wants to Trade Immortal Herbs?

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Han Xing nodded and walked outside with her.

In the past, he might have thought about hogging the spotlight to boost his popularity.

However, Qian Renxue's existence was somewhat special, and it was not appropriate for her to appear too much at this time.

Moreover, in the days to come, it was highly likely that Qian Renxue would rarely appear in her original form.

If the audience truly perceived him as being in a CP with Qian Renxue, it would be very disadvantageous for Han Xing's future efforts to collect popularity.

Tang San watched Han Xing's retreating figure for a long time, not moving until the other man had completely vanished from sight.

Only then did he take Xiao Wu and continue toward the Auction House.

"Brother San, do you have something to ask of Han Xing?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Based on her understanding of Tang San, in a situation like this, he shouldn't have been so amiable and pleasant while interacting with Han Xing.

If such a situation had occurred, there was only one possibility.

Tang San was, to some extent, asking for a favor from Han Xing, which was why he had reined in his temper.

"I want to trade for some things with him."

Faced with Xiao Wu's question, Tang San did not hide anything.

After a brief explanation, Xiao Wu quickly understood what Tang San was seeking.

"Immortal Herbs, huh..."

Xiao Wu looked thoughtful.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she knew a thing or two about such things as Immortal Herbs.

There were many soul beasts that had only been able to grow and evolve because they consumed peculiar plants.

Some powerful plants even had unimaginable effects on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts; these were the so-called Immortal Herbs.

Tang San was unaware of Xiao Wu's thoughts.

As they entered the Auction House, his attention was quickly and completely captured by the place.

Meanwhile, the audience's attention also shifted away from Qian Renxue.

At the same time, Han Xing and Qian Renxue returned home.

"Back so soon?"

Seeing the two return, Radiant Douluo frowned.

"A Xing and I went to the Auction House and found some good things that need to be specially refined," Qian Renxue explained.

However, Radiant Douluo clearly did not care about Qian Renxue's explanation.

A Xing? Radiant Douluo murmured to himself, a smile quickly appearing on his face.

"What kind of thing is it? Does it really need special refining?"

"It's a piece of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber," Qian Renxue said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"A Xing said this thing can strengthen the physique, but I'm not sure if it's true."

"So I brought him back first to avoid any accidents."

Hearing this, Radiant Douluo's expression turned serious.

"If A Xing said so, then it should be feasible, but ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber..."

"Forget it, Xue'er, you guard A Xing. I'm leaving."

With that, Radiant Douluo did not wait for the two to answer, disappearing from the house in a few flashes.

"Senior Radiant!" Seeing this, Qian Renxue hurriedly chased after him, but she could no longer see his back.

"Xue'er... sister, Teacher knows quite a lot. Don't worry, he won't overthink it," Han Xing explained.

"I am going to refine the Whale Rubber now, so I'll trouble you to stand guard for me."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue shifted her attention back to him.

"Alright, let's begin."

"But I like the title 'Sister Xue'er'; you should call me that from now on," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"It's much better than just 'Xue'er' or 'Sister Xue'."

Han Xing did not answer; at this moment, the Sun True Fire had already ignited on his body, and he began to focus on refining the Whale Rubber.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue stopped talking and simply watched Han Xing's condition intently.

An hour later, the Whale Rubber was completely refined, and Han Xing did not hesitate to consume it immediately and begin the process of assimilation.

Seeing Han Xing swallow the Whale Rubber, Qian Renxue's expression grew tense.

If an accident happens to Han Xing, I'll just take him to find a woman, she thought to herself.

Yet, if something truly went wrong, she felt she would struggle to make that decision.

Rationally speaking, taking Han Xing to someone else was the best course of action; after all, they were still quite unfamiliar with each other.

But her emotions told her that if she wanted a relationship without any barriers, it was best not to do so.

Fortunately, as time ticked by, nothing unusual happened to Han Xing.

Even when he finally opened his eyes, there was no sign of him losing his mind.

"It looks like you succeeded," Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, she didn't have to make that difficult choice.

"I didn't fail your expectations," Han Xing chuckled and nodded.

"Most of the energy contained in the Whale Rubber has been refined. Now, I just need to wait for my body to slowly absorb the rest."

"As long as you succeeded. It's getting late, it's already dark, so I should be going," Qian Renxue said.

"If you want to find me later, go to the Crown Prince Residence."

"My identity in the Heaven Dou Empire is Xue Qinghe."

With that, Qian Renxue used the power of the Soul Bone within her, instantly transforming into the appearance of a man.

Seemingly worried that Han Xing might misunderstand, she immediately explained herself after the transformation.

"This is the effect of the Soul Bone in my body; it allows me to take on the appearance of others."

"I see. I'll go to the Crown Prince Residence when I have time," Han Xing nodded.

The two chatted for a while longer, and after Qian Renxue changed her clothes, she bid Han Xing farewell and left.

Han Xing wanted to see her off, but Qian Renxue refused, citing that their current identities were supposed to be strangers to one another.

Since she had put it that way, Han Xing naturally didn't insist.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Xing had just finished his classes for the day and was about to leave when he saw someone blocking his path.

"Something up?" Han Xing frowned as he looked at Tang San.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Do you have time to come with me?" Tang San said solemnly.

"Discuss?" Han Xing quickly realized that Tang San was here for the Immortal Herb.

Through the messages from the live stream, he was well aware of Tang San's intention to trade for the Immortal Herb.

As Tang San blocked Han Xing's path, other students nearby noticed the situation.

In particular, the Shrek Seven Devils and members of the Solitary Crimson Sun Fan Support Group had already gathered around.

After all, they were well aware that there was some friction between Han Xing and Tang San.

"What kind of business requires going somewhere else?" Han Xing asked. "If you have something to say, just say it here."

Hearing this, Tang San's face darkened.

"It's a very important matter, not suitable for others to hear."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Xiao Wu, changed.

What was that supposed to mean? Treating them like outsiders?

Although the other Shrek Seven Devils had no intention of prying into Tang San's secrets, saying it so bluntly felt a bit too heartless.

"Is that so? Then I'll go with you."

"But I don't have much time to discuss things with you, so let's make it quick."

Han Xing's lips curled slightly. Although he had no intention of trading with Tang San, that didn't stop him from soaking up some screen time.
