I Really Do Like You So Much...

Lin Xia held up the radiant immortal plant, his voice still clear amidst the powerful energy fluctuations, carrying the solemnity and pride of introducing a rare treasure. His small face shone brightly under the crimson-gold divine light, and his eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.

"A supreme yang treasure among celestial items, containing the purest essence of the Sun True Fire and its power to ward off Evil God!"

Lin Xia turned her gaze to Qian Renxue, her eyes filled with sincere blessings and expectations.

"Sister Xue'er, your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is the ultimate light, the embodiment of holiness, and the sun's representative on earth!"

"And this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, with its 'cockscomb' shape, subtly embodies the supreme auspicious meanings of 'phoenix facing the sun' and 'a cry that startles the heavens,' symbolizing breaking free from shackles and achieving ultimate sublimation!"

"Its leaves appear Limber and fluffy, but they contain the gentlest and most powerful source of pure Yang energy, like the downy feathers that envelop the divine fire during a phoenix's rebirth. Its nature is neutral and peaceful, making it the easiest for Martial Soul with sacred attributes to absorb and refine, with absolutely no risk of exploding!"

Lin Xia's voice rose, carrying a certainty of insight into the essence, pointing to the crimson-gold divine patterns flowing inside the leaf.

"And this—most importantly, is the crimson-gold leaf vein, naturally formed and imbued with a trace of the laws of the sun!"

"This pure and noble crimson gold divinity is a perfect match for the holy flames and Sun True Fire attributes of your Angel Spirit! There is absolutely no rejection!"

"It can not only greatly enhance the purity of your Angel Soul Power and the power of your flames, but also nurture, refine, and strengthen your sacred Angel Spirit from the most fundamental level! It cleanses impurities and unleashes potential! It makes your light purer and lets your flames burn away all darkness!"

Lin Xia's tone carried a sense of anticipation for the future, her eyes shining brightly.

"I can foresee that after you successfully absorb it, your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and your overall strength will greatly improve!"

From the moment Lin Xia took out the Immortal Herb, Qian Renxue's gaze was fixed on him, unable to look away for even a moment.

"Little brother~"

Qian Renxue's voice rang out, carrying a tremor that "Xue Qinghe" would never normally exhibit, an uncontrollable tremor and an intense, unyielding intimacy.

She raised her eyes, her gaze Lock-On intently on Lin Xia's clear eyes, his figure and the radiance of that Immortal Herb reflected in his purple-gold pupils.

"I really like you so much..."

Her tone carried a girlish charm, yet it contained an undeniable seriousness; every word seemed to carry a burning warmth.

"Is this Immortal Herb... meant for me?"

She asked the question knowing the answer already, her voice rising slightly at the end, carrying a hint of cautious confirmation, as if seeking a stronger affirmation.

Looking at the undisguised Covet and dependence in Xue'er's eyes, Lin Xia felt a warm glow in her heart.

He smiled broadly, a clean and open smile, and without the slightest hesitation, he handed forward the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in his hand, his movement carrying a natural sense of "it should be this way".

"Certainly!"

Lin Xia's voice was clear and bright, carrying the sincerity unique to young people.

"Who else could I give it to but you? This Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, with its supreme yang divinity and crimson gold essence, was tailor-made for your Six-Winged Angel!"

Looking at the pure joy in her daughter's eyes and her attachment to her younger brother, Bibi Dong felt the last trace of gloom that had been cast over Dugu Yan completely dissipate.

A gentle and contented smile bloomed on her exquisite face, her purple eyes shifting between Lin Xia and Qian Renxue as she softly echoed:

"Xue'er, please accept this. Your brother went to great lengths to find it and has been thinking of you the whole time. You must cherish this token of his affection."

Qian Renxue nodded vigorously, her eyes glistening with tears.

She stretched out her hands and solemnly accepted the celestial Immortal Herb that radiated a scorching divine light, as if she were holding the most precious sacred object in the world.

The next second, under Bibi Dong's smiling gaze and Lin Xia's slightly astonished look, Qian Renxue suddenly leaned down, opened her arms, and hugged Lin Xia tightly!

Her unique aura, a blend of sunshine-like warmth and royal fragrance, instantly enveloped Lin Xia.

Before Lin Xia could react, a warm, moist touch, filled with immense tenderness and excitement, was firmly imprinted on his smooth forehead with an irresistible force!

This kiss was more passionate and emotionally charged than Dugu Yan's kiss, which had a cool, snake-like touch, as if it wanted to imprint all gratitude, affection, and the closeness of blood ties onto it.

"Thank you, Xiao Xia!"

Qian Renxue's voice rang in Lin Xia's ears, trembling with excitement. She then released him, her purple eyes shining brightly.

"Sister... I'm really happy!"

She took a small step back, carefully cradling the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in her hands as if it were a burning divine fire. She looked at Lin Xia, her voice carrying a hint of eager inquiry.

"Little brother, this... this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, how should I use it? Should I just eat it directly? Or do I need a special method to refine it?"

Lin Xia was a little embarrassed by Xue'er's kiss, but she quickly recovered and regained her composure.

He touched the spot on his forehead where he had been kissed; the warmth still seemed to linger there. He then said seriously:

"Well, there's nothing particularly complicated about how to eat it."

Lin Xia pointed to the crimson, Red- shaped tip and the broad, fiery red leaves.

"You just need to chew the entire Immortal Herb and swallow it."

Lin Xia paused, her tone becoming serious and meticulous, like an experienced mentor.

"However, remember to fully circulate your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Power during chewing and swallowing, and afterwards! Guide your Soul Power to envelop and assist the medicinal essence of the Immortal Herb, allowing it to smoothly and evenly integrate into your limbs, meridians, and bones, ultimately returning to the Martial Soul Origin."

Lin Xia looked into Qian Renxue's focused purple eyes and emphasized:

"This process may take some time, so there's no need to rush. The power of the Immortal Herb is vast and gentle; it will naturally resonate and merge with your Martial Soul. What you need to do is calm your mind, circulate your Soul Power, guide it, and let it slowly settle and be absorbed within your body, ultimately becoming your own."

"I see!"

Qian Renxue nodded emphatically, her eyes resolute. She had absolute trust in Lin Xia.

Without further hesitation, she took a deep breath and looked firmly at the radiant Immortal Herb in her hand.

That stunningly beautiful face, now slightly flushed with excitement.

Under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong, who held a hint of concern, and Lin Xia, who was full of encouragement, Qian Renxue gently put the Red, blood-red, crest-shaped tip of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into her mouth.

The instant her pearly teeth touched that seemingly Limber, Red "cockscomb"—

"Buzz--!"

A deep and sacred hum seemed to rise from the void!
