Lovesick Heartbreak Red Acknowledges Its Master, Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but simply gazed quietly at Dai Mubai with her beautiful, dark eyes. Two flames were reflected in her eyes, and there was no trace of anxiety in her gaze, only trust.

Dai Mubai certainly wanted to give Zhu Zhuqing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

In fact, he had been thinking about this Immortal Herb for a long time.

Although the Lovesick Heartbreak Red is the king of flowers and a divine flower among celestial plants, Zhu Zhuqing did not gain the flower's approval in the original novel.

Looking into those eyes, Dai Mubai finally understood that from that night at the Rose Hotel, this girl had already given him her whole heart.

Since she gave herself to me without reservation, why should I doubt her feelings for me just because a Immortal Herb might not approve of her?

Dai Mubai stepped forward, gently took her hand, and slowly said, "Zhu Qing, what I've prepared for you is the most powerful of all these Immortal Herb, with effects surpassing the others. However, to obtain it, you must pay a price."

Zhu Zhuqing gripped Dai Mubai's hand tightly, her eyes resolute. "Mubai, no matter the cost, I will never let you down."

Dai Mubai a warmth in his heart, reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to gently kiss her cherry lips. "Okay."

Then, he flipped his right hand, and a strange flower appeared in his palm.

The flower didn't look particularly fancy; it was about the size of a palm, pure white, and resembled a peony, without any leaves. Below the flower, a strange, jet-black rock was attached to its stem.

Dai Mubai's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke, "This flower is called 'Lovesick Heartbreak Red,' a divine treasure among Immortal-Grade Herbs. It can be said to be the king of flowers."

He recounted the legend of this Immortal Herb: the ancient tale of devoted lovers pledging their lives to each other, and its most demanding harvesting condition: one must think of their beloved and spit their essence onto the petals. If the heart is impure or there are impure thoughts, it cannot be approved.

Zhu Zhuqing listened quietly, took the white flower, and her expression was surprisingly calm.

She gazed deeply at Dai Mubai and said firmly, "Mubai, if I had harbored resentment or doubts before coming to Shrek, I certainly wouldn't have gained its approval. But now, I've met the real you. I'm certain that you are the man I, Zhu Zhuqing, am willing to follow for the rest of my life, the one I love. Even if we can't compete with Dai Weisi in the future, even if we're exiled thousands of miles away, I'm willing to stay with you forever, through life and death."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing bit her tongue without hesitation, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood onto the pure white petals!

The moment the blood splattered, that Lovesick Heartbreak Red seemed to come alive.

The pure white petals trembled gently, emitting a soft, blood-red halo. The entire flower swayed slightly and, on its own, detached itself from the dark rock, landing in Zhu Zhuqing's palm.

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

Although she was confident in herself, she never expected that this usually quiet girl could be so resolute and pure in her determination once she made up her mind about something!

Zhu Zhuqing looked down at the fairy flower in her palm, a captivating smile blooming on her pretty face. She raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection. "Mubai, have I... gained its approval?"

Dai Mubai suddenly pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms again. "Yes, Zhu Qing! You did it! Thank you..."

He then released Zhu Zhuqing, his gaze intense as he explained, "Take it, and it will give you unimaginable power. Moreover, once the Lovesick Heartbreak Red recognizes its master, it will only recognize you for life, and it will always protect you. In the future, if you encounter mortal danger, it will actively protect your heart meridian and shield you from harm. Simply put, it's like having an extra life."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing gently stroked the petals with her fingertips, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

But she quickly realized what Dai Mubai needed most right now.

That is strength, the absolute power sufficient to establish oneself in the Star Luo Empire.

Only by becoming stronger as quickly as possible can I truly stand by his side and fight alongside him.

Zhu Zhuqing no longer hesitated, nodded gently, placed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red on her chest, and sat cross-legged.

She gently pressed the white flower into her chest. In an instant, a soft yet dazzling crimson light bloomed from her heart, enveloping her entire being.

Dai Mubai to one side, protecting everyone.

An hour later, Zhao Wuji was the first to wake up from his meditation.

As he stood up, a series of cracking sounds emanated from his bones.

His already imposing physique seemed to have expanded even further, his muscles bulging like cast steel beneath his clothes.

Fine, dark gold lines faintly emerge beneath the skin, exuding an aura of indestructible solidity.

"Level 79..."

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists, muttering to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

Not only did Zhao Wuji's Soul Power leap three levels, but more importantly, he clearly felt that the hidden injuries he had accumulated in his youth had completely disappeared!

His meridians were unobstructed, and his Soul Power was incredibly abundant.

Zhao Wuji looked up at Dai Mubai, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Mubai, I can't thank you enough. My life, Zhao Wuji's life, is yours from now on."

Dai Mubai smiled and waved his hand, "Teacher Zhao, you flatter me."

Before the words were finished, Oscar on the other side slowly opened his eyes.

He stood up, feeling the fullness within him, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Boss Dai! Level 5! My Soul Power has increased by a full five levels! This... this is simply unbelievable! I'm already level 39!"

How precious is the level 5 Soul Power of a food-type Soul Master!

Dai Mubai looked at him and smiled, "Little Ao, the point isn't about these five levels. The medicinal properties of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid are the most enduring and mellow; its medicinal power is enough to help you cultivate until Soul Sage realm."

Oscar hugged Dai Mubai excitedly and said, "Boss Dai... thank you so much!"

Dai Mubai quickly pushed him away, saying with disdain, "Thank me if you want, why are you hugging and cuddling!"

The two immediately looked at each other and laughed!

About half an hour later, Ning Rongrong finally opened her eyes.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and she seemed to be enveloped in an invisible aura of nobility, even her skin radiating a lustrous glow.

He held a shimmering, colorful glass pagoda in his palm, which radiated an even more dazzling light than before.

Dai Mubai asked, "Rongrong, how are you feeling?"

Ning Rongrong looked at her Martial Soul and murmured, "I'm not quite sure. My Soul Power went directly from level 28 to level 30, but without Soul Ring, I don't know exactly how many levels I gained. And my Martial Soul seems to..."

Her gaze was fixed on the pagoda in her palm, and she began to count it layer by layer.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... eight, nine!"

It was a nine-story pagoda, its entire body crystal clear!

"Nine floors... it really is nine floors!"

Ning Rongrong felt a surge of heat rush from her feet to her head, her vision blurred, and her voice trembled.
