Young Bibi Dong Got Lovesick... Strangers the First Time, Friends the Second; a Certain Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Two and a Half Times

[Moon Palace: Why do all three of us have the same illness in the future? @Love-Starved Little Angel, Spirit Hall Saintess.]

Gu Yuena was rather curious.

All three of them would become love-addled in the future.

Even thinking about it was a little frightening.

Was it because they were all women, and would lose their reason as soon as they fell in love,

their IQs dropping to zero?

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Mm, mm, but I don't know about the future either.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @Moon Palace, maybe you have a point.]

[There are many possible futures for Bibi Dong.]

[For example, if you stay in this group for three years, the benefits you gain will be absolutely unimaginable. In three years, you might even be stronger than Qian Xunji. By then, who locks whom in a secret chamber might be anyone's guess, right?]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Teacher is level seventy-eight now. In three years, he'll be in the eighties, and in a dozen or so years, he'll be in the nineties.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Mm, then you still have plenty of opportunities. For example, after you meet Yu Xiaogang, you could just play along with him. His goal might be to get you to take him into Spirit Hall's Library Pavilion, toying with your feelings.]

[In that case, toy with his feelings instead, and don't get together with him.]

[Then Qian Xunji won't forcibly interfere with you two, and he might not lock you in the secret chamber!]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Mm, those are both pretty good methods. Right now, I need to cultivate hard, get stronger, and then stronger still... What do those immortal herbs you mentioned do?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: For Soul Masters, immortal herbs can evolve their martial souls, improve their physiques, increase their soul power, and enhance their talent.]

[I Am the Angel God: Where can I find something that miraculous? I'm going to pick some!]

[Moon Palace: Would they help me?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @Moon Palace, yes, but the risks are immense. They rank far below the Lake of Life in priority.]

[Moon Palace: Then I might as well not use them.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @I Am the Angel God, I can tell you about this first. After all, you're from twenty thousand years ago. Once you've picked them, they'll have long since grown back twenty thousand years later.]

[But don't pull them out by the roots. Leave their crowns so they can grow back!]

[The place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, in Sunset Forest. Sunset Forest lies in the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire, a hundred li due east of Heaven Dou City. I don't know whether the Heaven Dou Empire exists in your time.]

[If it doesn't, you can use the Star Dou Great Forest as a reference point. Sunset Forest is northeast of the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[But once you get them, you have to give me half the immortal herbs.]

[I Am the Angel God: All right, don't worry. With information this important, of course I won't forget you, Group Owner.]

Qian Chiyan grew excited at the information in the chat window. She immediately looked up at Poseidon. "Hey, something came up. I'm leaving first. See you next time!"

"Why do you seem a little different today?"

Poseidon watched wings sprout from Qian Chiyan's back as she soared into the sky, the gusts she stirred up whipping his hair and clothes about.

He looked up at her as he spoke.

"Maybe my state of mind has changed!"

Qian Chiyan smiled and shot off into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, she vanished.

Poseidon shook his head.

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Oh, so it's in Sunset Forest, in the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire. Then when are you going to pick the immortal herbs, Brother Zhi Qiu? After you're done, I'll go, and then it'll be Little Mom's turn? If everyone gives you half, you'll get two and a half times as many immortal herbs?]

[Wow, wow... I'm so envious that Brother Zhi Qiu knows so much precious information. Little Xue is lucky to be friends with Brother Zhi Qiu.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: @Love-Starved Little Angel, you little thing certainly have a silver tongue. You're praising Zhi Qiu so much he's about to float into the sky. It's Brother this and Brother that...]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: What, are you jealous? Why don't you call him Brother Zhi Qiu too?]

[Why have you gone quiet?]

[Feeling shy?]

[I knew Little Mom was the most bashful of all. You like him, but you're too embarrassed to say it. A six-year-old like me calls him Brother, and you get all jealous...]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: ...]

[I've noticed Little Xue is getting more and more talkative, and much happier too...]

[Could it be because the Ancestral Goddess and the Group Owner spoil her...]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: How about I spoil you a little too, and make you happy...]

[@Love-Starved Little Angel: I'm just getting ready to pick them. But in my time, a Titled Douluo has claimed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for himself. If I pick the immortal herbs, I'll inevitably attract his attention. He might even... hunt me down.]

[Does a level twenty-seven have any chance of surviving against the level ninety-one Poison Douluo?]

[I Am the Angel God: Certain death. After all, Titled Douluos possess a soul power magnetic field. Once you come within a thousand meters of him, he'll detect you.]

[There's no need to rush. Once I get the immortal herbs, I'll send you some. Then you can increase your soul power, and your martial soul might evolve too. If you go afterward, won't your chances be better?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Good point!]

Li Qiu gave Qian Chiyan a big thumbs-up.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: ...]

Young Bibi Dong stared at the chat window, wondering whether she should help him.

But,

they weren't on the same timeline or even in the same plane,

so even if she wanted to help, she couldn't.

[Are we in different times within the same plane? @A Leaf Knows Autumn.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @Spirit Hall Saintess, probably not. Little Xue, @I Am the Angel God, and I are in the same plane. Just now, I called "Sword, come" in my mind, and felt a faint connection to the Angel Holy Sword.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: @Spirit Hall Saintess, what's this? Does Little Mom want to help Brother Zhi Qiu? But you're too embarrassed to say it? Feeling all tangled up inside? What do you look like, being so coy?]

[Like a lovesick young lady!]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: You little thing... Where did you learn to say things like that!]

Young Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she read Little Xue's group messages.

The little girl was becoming livelier and livelier. Her words left Bibi Dong utterly dumbfounded.

Lovesick!

That was impossible.

How could I, the Saintess, possibly...

But she did indeed want to help Zhi Qiu.

[I Am the Angel God: All right, no need to rush. Take it slowly. Hasn't that Poison Douluo used the immortal herbs he's guarding? @A Leaf Knows Autumn.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Poison Douluo guards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but he doesn't know it's an extraordinary treasure basin. He only uses the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress his snake venom!]

[I Am the Angel God: So that's how it is. He really has the encounter, but not the destiny!]

Li Qiu had already returned to Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others were still running back to Shrek Academy.

They were utterly exhausted.

Li Qiu lay comfortably in his dormitory, chatting with the beauties.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: If we're not in the same plane, I can go pick immortal herbs too, right? @A Leaf Knows Autumn.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Mm, you can. Who are you planning to have take you there?]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Strangers the first time, friends the second. Of course I'll have Elder Lion sneak me out. Although I'm still grounded, as long as I give him enough benefits, he'll be willing to take me out again.]
