Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red Acknowledges Its Master

The Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Silent Sleeve Arrow...

The cold hidden weapon felt scorching in Wang Dong'er's palm, and she hurriedly shoved it back into Xiao Wu's hand.

"The academy teachers take good care of me, so I won't be in any danger. You should keep this hidden weapon to protect yourself."

Xiao Wu shook her head. "Tang San is currently collecting materials for a new hidden weapon. He told me that this one is called the 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow,' and its power is far beyond that of this Silent Sleeve Arrow. I have no use for it, so you should keep it."

"By the way, do you have enough money to spend? I've been saving my soul master subsidies all these years. Here, take it and use it. Just consider it a loan from me; you're in a big city, so there must be many places where you need money."

She took a pouch of gold soul coins out of her soul tool—savings she had scraped together through frugality—and stuffed it all into Wang Dong'er's arms.

"If you still consider me... Big Sister Xiao Wu, then take it. Don't misunderstand; you are my little brother, so naturally, I have to look after you. This is what we agreed upon on our first day in the work-study dormitory."

With a heart full of mixed emotions, Wang Dong'er didn't know what to say. Looking at Xiao Wu's smiling face, her eyes grew sore before she realized it.

She, Wang Dong'er, was practically a beast...

Even if she were slow-witted, she could still understand Xiao Wu's intentions, but... sigh.

"Follow me."

Wang Dong'er tucked away Xiao Wu's gift, then reached out to take her hand and led her to a deserted street corner.

Backing against the wall with Wang Dong'er standing before her, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little shy. "What are you trying to do?"

"Big Sister... Xiao Wu, since you treat me so well, naturally I must treat you well in return," Wang Dong'er said, raising her hand to her waist.

Xiao Wu thought Wang Dong'er was about to undress, and her earlobes turned red, her cheeks burning hot as strange emotions surged in the depths of her heart.

She thought of her own identity, then thought of Tang San, who was still cultivating at the hotel, and finally, she slowly closed her eyes.

Come on, it's fine. Wang Dong'er is human, and I am a soul beast; there shouldn't be any problems.

Wang Dong'er took the "Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red" out of her Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

"Hmm? Big Sister Xiao Wu, why are you closing your eyes?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu opened her eyes in embarrassment and gave Wang Dong'er's chest a light pat. "I'll do whatever I want, why do you care so much?"

"Oh, what is this?"

Soon, her gaze was captured by the King of Immortal Herbs in Wang Dong'er's hand.

"Although this flower looks ordinary, the life energy it contains is incredibly vast."

"You have a good eye," Wang Dong'er said. "This flower is called 'Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red.' It has the power to bring the dead back to life, regrow flesh and bones, and conceal one's own aura. However, I cannot make it recognize me as its master, so rather than letting it rot in my hands, I might as well give it to you for protection."

Bring the dead back to life, regrow flesh and bones... conceal aura.

Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes widened. "This flower looks so plain, yet it has such abilities?!"

"What do you mean by 'recognize as master'?"

"The flower is no ordinary item; it chooses its own master..."

Just as Wang Dong'er was introducing the King of Immortal Herbs to Xiao Wu, the Sea God's Divine Sense within her spiritual sea suddenly released an invisible energy.

Neither Wang Dong'er nor Xiao Wu noticed this energy. As Wang Dong'er finished speaking, the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red in her hand suddenly erupted with a terrifying red energy magnetic field.

Xiao Wu let out a muffled groan, instantly losing consciousness as the energy lifted her into mid-air.

The Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red slowly drifted from Wang Dong'er's palm. Under Wang Dong'er's bewildered gaze, a drop of blood welled up from Xiao Wu's chest and landed on the flower's stamen. The incredibly sturdy Black Absolute Stone silently turned to ash and dissipated.

The Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red burst forth with a blinding blood-red light that completely enveloped Xiao Wu, and her life force began to climb steadily.

As the light faded, Xiao Wu slowly descended. Wang Dong'er stepped forward to catch her; the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red had completely merged with Xiao Wu.

"What is going on?"

Wang Dong'er was utterly confused.

How could the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red suddenly recognize a master?

And where was the flower? Had it been absorbed by Xiao Wu? But Xiao Wu's soul power hadn't changed at all; only her life force had become vigorous. If not for her own heightened spiritual power, Wang Dong'er wouldn't have even noticed that.

When Xiao Wu woke up, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

The first thing she saw was the ceiling, which made her snap to full alertness and sit up halfway.

Seeing her surroundings, she realized she was in a room. When she saw Wang Dong'er meditating nearby, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she noticed the anomaly within herself.

She had actually entered the maturity stage.

The maturity stage was the most critical period for a soul beast transforming into a human. During this phase, as long as one was exposed to human presence and their soul power broke through to the level required to withstand a hundred thousand years of cultivation, they could become a human completely.

After carefully sensing her own state, Xiao Wu was even more shocked.

Her physical strength had increased several times over, as had her vitality. If she could maintain this steady growth, she would be able to become a true human once she broke through to the Soul Emperor level.

Her aura, perfectly concealed by the fusion with the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red, meant that from now on, there was no risk of exposure.

"I never imagined that the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red would have such miraculous effects... Wang Dong'er, you were truly willing to give such a medicinal herb to me."

Xiao Wu was deeply moved. Seeing that it was getting late, she gently woke Wang Dong'er.

Upon learning of Xiao Wu's current situation, Wang Dong'er was incredibly bewildered. Before she could even speak, her face was tightly enveloped by a "great, lethal weapon," and the difficulty in breathing made her smiling face flush slightly red. The faint fragrance, combined with the softness and warmth, made her heart race wildly.

After leaving the hotel, Wang Dong'er followed Xiao Wu to a room inside the Lily Hotel on Tiandou Avenue.

Do not misunderstand; they were not there to rent a room for rest, but because Tang San was currently cultivating inside this hotel.

Hearing the knock, Tang San slowly exited his meditative state. He opened the door to see Xiao Wu and offered a gentle smile.

"Xiao Wu, you're awake so early?"

"And this is... Wang Dong?"

Seeing Wang Dong'er, Tang San was stunned and instinctively called out that familiar name. There was no helping it; the person before his eyes looked far too much like Wang Dong. Their features, hair color, height, and attire were nearly identical, save for... their figure.

If that guy Wang Dong grew his hair out and dressed up, he would surely look exactly like this young lady.

"My apologies, I mistook you for someone else. You look far too much like a friend of mine."
