Witch Rongrong

Ning Fengzhi and Chrysanthemum Douluo were locked in confrontation, while Poison Douluo watched like a tiger stalking its prey.

Ning Rongrong, the little demoness, quietly arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

She wanted it all for herself!

Yes, every single Immortal Herb.

At that moment, the flower before Ning Rongrong was an utterly ordinary white blossom, its roots attached to a pitch-black stone.

She took an Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs from her Soul Tool.

She checked what this thing actually was.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red!"

The method of picking it was to think of the person you loved most, then drip a drop of blood onto it.

You had to be utterly sincere and single-minded.

"Let's try it." Ning Rongrong was astonishingly bold.

She gathered her emotions, then spat a mouthful of blood onto it.

The white flower was dyed red at astonishing speed, transforming into an incomparably magnificent "Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

"Did it work?"

"Could it be that I'm a genius?" Ning Rongrong found it unbelievable.

In truth, she had never believed she would gain the recognition of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red blessed only sincere love.

Ning Rongrong had no love.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red's name said it all. What did it mean to yearn for someone? What did it mean to have your heart broken?

Perhaps it was luck, perhaps talent, or perhaps she had fulfilled some other condition.

She plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Red light flowed across its leaves. Its indescribable splendor was the very essence of lovesickness and heartbreak.

It was beautiful—truly beautiful.

Then she turned her gaze toward the other Immortal Herbs.

If she wanted to take all the Immortal Herbs for herself, she had to deal with the two nuisances outside.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Poison Douluo.

It seemed there were no moves left to make, but in reality, a glimmer of hope remained hidden.

Comparing it with the Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs, Ning Rongrong plucked the "Aromatic Silk Beauty."

It was a large, pale-pink flower. Its petals were as crystal-clear as water, while its purple stamens resembled a dazzling gemstone.

The "Aromatic Silk Beauty" possessed the ability to suppress all poisons.

Ning Rongrong held the "Lovesick Heartbreak Red" and "Aromatic Silk Beauty" in her palms, then swept her gaze toward her next target.

Snow Swan Kiss.

A crystalline snow-white herb that somewhat resembled a swan's neck.

So, what did it do? Snow Swan Kiss itself contained no poison, but it could amplify poison a hundredfold or a thousandfold. It represented pure extremity—and the utmost viciousness.

The area surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was covered by layers of Poison Barrier.

"Anyone afraid of causing trouble is a good-for-nothing!"

She plucked the "Snow Swan Kiss" and, following the introduction in the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs," placed it at the Poison Barrier.

Soul Power surged, activating the power of Snow Swan Kiss.

With her left hand as the center, the poison began to rapidly multiply, spread, and expand.

The Poison Barrier expanded a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely cut off by the poison-thick Poison Barrier, becoming a true paradise beyond the mortal world.

At that moment, even a Peerless Douluo could not cross this Poison Barrier.

"Now, no one can disturb me anymore."

The Poison Barrier blocked sight, blocked spiritual perception, blocked everything.

If Ning Rongrong wanted to take all the Immortal Herbs for herself, she had to conceal her identity and prevent the Titled Douluo outside from entering.

She used the terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the properties of Snow Swan Kiss to achieve her goal.

"What happened?"

Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Sword Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo halted their negotiations.

Hidden in a corner, Poison Douluo voiced a question from the depths of his heart.

Sword Douluo reacted quickly. Realizing how dire the situation was, he grabbed Ning Fengzhi by the clothes and flew outward.

Bone Douluo was a Titled Douluo. A second or two of poison would not matter to him, but the Sect Master could not withstand it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo reacted half a beat slower, but they still hurried out of the Poison Barrier's range.

Several miles away, they stopped.

"Who did this?"

The question inevitably arose in everyone's hearts.

Who the hell else could it be? It had to be Dugu Bo.

Among the Titled Douluo present, only he knew how to use poison—and his title said it all.

Poison Douluo. The Poison Barrier had expanded. Who else could it be?

They had taken his Medicine Garden, so he was dissatisfied and had caused all this destruction.

"Damn it! He really deserves to die!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo vented his resentment.

Sword Douluo had dragged Ning Fengzhi to the outskirts of Sunset Forest, where Ning Fengzhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ning Fengzhi was only a level-79 Soul Sage. Faced with the sudden invasion of poison, he inevitably suffered.

An Advanced Antidote Pill could not completely neutralize this terrifying poison.

"Wait, Ning Rongrong!"

Sword Douluo slapped his forehead and wanted to charge back into the Poison Barrier to search for Ning Rongrong.

"Don't go!" Ning Fengzhi stopped him.

"What happened to Rongrong?"

Gu Rong suddenly turned toward Chen Xin and shouted.

"Ning Rongrong came with you?"

"You left her outside?"

When Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest, they sensed Gu Rong's Soul Power fluctuations.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xin had naturally come over to help.

But he was not foolish. He would never bring Ning Rongrong into the Poison Barrier.

Chen Xin had used a Soul Tool to contact a Soul Douluo from the Sect, asking him to come and take Ning Rongrong back.

He had also instructed Ning Rongrong to stay where she was and not run around.

Who could have expected the Poison Barrier to suddenly erupt?

"Rongrong! My Rongrong!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin explained what had happened. He regretted it deeply—why had he brought Ning Rongrong out?

He had been too confident. He had thought that, with the strength of a Titled Douluo, he could walk unhindered across the Douluo Continent.

He had never imagined that he could not even protect the person closest to him.

And what was Ning Rongrong doing at that moment? Would Ning Rongrong be poisoned to death by the Poison Barrier?

What a joke. With the flower king of the "Lovesick Heartbreak Red" protecting her left hand and the "Aromatic Silk Beauty," bane of all poisons, in her right, could she really be unable to deal with a mere Poison Barrier?

Snow Swan Kiss was indeed formidable, and the strengthened Poison Barrier was indeed terrifying. Even a Limit Douluo would find it difficult to cross.

But against its specialized counter—the divine-grade among Immortal Herbs—this bit of poison was nothing.

"What should I eat?"

This question had troubled Ning Rongrong for a long time.

"Three parts poison lurk in every medicine."

"Eating too many Immortal Herbs will cause poison to accumulate in the body."

That was what her Master, Yang Wudi, had said.

"Stay where you are." That was Sword Douluo's instruction.

Ning Rongrong had never been obedient.

"Dean Ferland once said that if a Soul Master is afraid of this and that, how can they grow into a genius?"

Ning Rongrong thought he was right. It made perfect sense.

Thus, she turned her gaze toward the many Immortal Herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty"—it could evolve a Martial Soul. Eat!

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew"—it could increase Mental Power and cultivate Fiery Golden Eyes. Eat!

"Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone"—it could nourish the muscles and bones and open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Eat!

"Eight Petal Immortal Orchid"—it could strengthen the body and eliminate impurities. Eat!

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum"—that Chrysanthemum Freak was too ugly. It would be better to give it to Ning Tian.

"Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower"—it replenished Yang Energy and increased Soul Power. Too ugly, so she would not eat it. She would give it to Ning Tian instead.

"Nine Leaves Purple Ganoderma"—she would send it to Father.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass" and "Infernal Delicate Apricot"—these two were highly poisonous, but they counteracted each other. They would be troublesome to eat, and their digestion would bring the agony of extreme cold and heat.

They could not be plucked for now. When she had the time, she would bring the two grandfathers over.

Finally, Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on the "Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

She had given everyone a gift, yet had deliberately omitted one person's name.

She was unwilling to mention it—or perhaps she did not dare face it.
