Yue Guan: Qian Xunji? Don't know him

Following the method Yue Guan had described, Little Bibi Dong swallowed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The next moment, her eyes involuntarily closed. Red energy spread around her, and her entire being entered a state of transformation.

Watching from beside her, Yue Guan's eyes brimmed with excitement.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Saintess has begun transforming. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red is taking effect!"

As he spoke, he looked at the Aromatic Silk Beauty in his hand and took out the Living Creature Storage Bag he carried with him.

"This storage bag can hold living things. Your Highness can store this Aromatic Silk Beauty inside it."

As someone who loved flowers, Yue Guan carried a Living Creature Storage Bag with him, and now it happened to come in handy.

"Put it away for now."

Fang Yuan gestured for Yue Guan to store the immortal herb. "Put the other immortal herbs inside too."

"Uncle Yue, you can pick and consume that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum later. I think you're the person it suits best."

At those words, excitement surged through Yue Guan's heart. His martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If he could consume this immortal herb...

Not only could he open his eight extraordinary meridians and attain an indestructible diamond body, but he would even have a chance of becoming a Peerless Douluo!

"Your Highness! I, your subordinate, I...!"

Yue Guan could barely speak coherently. He simply felt that Fang Yuan's kindness was far too great.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan waved a hand. "There's no need for all those extra words, Uncle Yue. It's enough that you understand in your heart."

"Yes!" Yue Guan dropped onto one knee with a sharp thump and respectfully saluted Fang Yuan. "Gui Mei and I swear to serve Your Highness loyally unto death!"

Fang Yuan inclined his head slightly, accepting Yue Guan's salute.

"Go pick the immortal herbs."

"If Uncle Gui Mei renders meritorious service in the future, I'll reward him too."

There were so many immortal herbs here that, even setting aside portions for the unborn little Qian Renxue, Revered Golden Crocodile, and the others, plenty would remain.

Immortal herbs were certainly precious, but they could only take effect when used on people. The surplus would only sit there anyway, so he might as well use them to reward subordinates loyal to him.

If he wanted horses to run, he had to give them grass. Without something to look forward to, why would anyone put their life on the line?

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were trustworthy in character. In the original timeline, they had been unwaveringly loyal to Spirit Hall, working tirelessly for years without a soul bone and never complaining.

Now, Yue Guan was utterly thrilled, feeling that he had chosen the right person to follow. "Your Highness is benevolent. I'll go pick the immortal herbs right away."

With that, he rose and withdrew, thinking that Old Ghost also had a chance to obtain an immortal herb. Once he returned, he would have to tell that fellow to pledge his loyalty to His Highness the Holy Son at once.

As for Qian Xunji? He barely knew him. His Highness the Holy Son was Spirit Hall's rightful heir. Loyalty!

Meanwhile, within Fang Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, Rakshasa Bibi Dong gradually calmed down after struggling to quell her anger.

"Little Yuan, let me out."

Her younger self made her feel embarrassed, but she still had to lend a hand where help was needed.

Fang Yuan thought Big Bibi Dong was still angry, so he sent his voice into his Sea of Consciousness with a thought.

"Let it go, let it go. Nobody has it easy."

"Aunt Dong, Little Bibi Dong is transforming right now. If you want to deal with her, wait until later."

Big Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at his words. Of course she knew her younger self was at a critical point in her transformation.

"You're certainly protective of her."

"I wanted to give her a helping hand with my divine power."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan chuckled sheepishly, then said without blushing or missing a beat, "Little Bibi Dong is Aunt Dong as a child, and she's even earned the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's recognition. Of course I'll protect her."

Rakshasa Bibi Dong's heartbeat quickened a little. What did Little Yuan mean by saying that to her?

She couldn't help putting herself in her younger self's place. The feeling that her younger self liked Fang Yuan was just like liking him herself.

This gave Rakshasa Bibi Dong a sense of taboo, followed by a little embarrassed annoyance, a reproachful look in her beautiful eyes.

"Stop being cheeky and hurry up and let me out!"

This little fellow's body had grown up. Had he started having those kinds of thoughts about her too?

No, this sort of thing wouldn't do!

For a moment, Rakshasa Bibi Dong's thoughts tangled like hemp.

Fang Yuan released his Rakshasa martial soul, and Big Bibi Dong's consciousness moved into it, though she didn't dare look at him.

Turning her gaze toward her younger self, Big Bibi Dong raised a hand and sent out Rakshasa divine power. At the same time, she separated off a strand of divine sense and sent it flying toward Little Bibi Dong.

The Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor were both top-tier beast martial souls, but she thought they looked ugly after martial soul possession.

Big Bibi Dong had once lacked the ability to change her martial souls, but now she could help her younger self change hers.

With the medicinal power of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, she could reshape the martial souls during the transformation, turning her divine sense into a Rakshasa martial soul.

Although this meant going from twin martial souls to a single martial soul, the Rakshasa martial soul counted as a god-bestowed martial soul, and her innate soul power would rise to rank twenty.

Little Bibi Dong's future cultivation speed would be a hundred times faster than that of someone with innate full soul power.

Besides reshaping her martial souls, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red could also greatly increase her soul power and completely remold her body.

In other words, after Little Bibi Dong's transformation, her actual soul power would reach at least rank thirty, and she would be able to withstand soul rings over ten thousand years old.

Meanwhile, in Fang Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, Qian Renxue spoke with a hint of jealousy. "Little Yuan, you really do treat this woman well."

Fang Yuan knew her vinegar jar had tipped over, so he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, his consciousness appearing in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Sister Xue, I have something good for you too."

As he spoke, he flew toward Qian Renxue while activating the sharing system with a thought.

Fang Yuan could share Little Bibi Dong's strength, and that included items as well. So, after Little Bibi Dong used the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, he discovered that this immortal herb could also be shared.

However, once a shared item was used, it would no longer appear on the sharing list.

Fang Yuan felt that this immortal herb was of no use to him, but it might be useful for Qian Renxue's divine soul.

Seeing Fang Yuan's consciousness approach, Qian Renxue looked at him reproachfully. "My dear little brother, what are you going to give me?"

Fang Yuan took out the shared Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Sister Xue, look what this is."

At the sight of the familiar immortal herb, Qian Renxue's eyes widened a little in astonishment. "Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

"Didn't Little Bibi Dong consume it? How do you have another one?"

"The Destiny Divine Examination gave it to me." Fang Yuan attributed the item's origin to the divine examination.

"Sister Xue, this Lovesick Heartbreak Red is a reward from the divine examination. You can use it without having it recognize you as its master. It might even help repair your godhood!"

Touched by his words, Qian Renxue's trace of jealousy instantly vanished, and she looked at Fang Yuan tenderly.

"Little Yuan, you should consume this immortal herb. I'll only feel reassured when you're stronger."

Fang Yuan couldn't help chuckling. "Sister Xue, why draw a line between us?"

"If you consume the immortal herb, isn't that the same as me consuming it? This way, we can get the most out of its effects too."

Qian Renxue paused at his words, then remembered that she was still Fang Yuan's martial soul. Thinking it over, that did indeed seem to be the case.

At this thought, a smile appeared on her face, and she didn't refuse. "I forgot about that. My Little Yuan really is clever."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue moved closer, bent down, and kissed Fang Yuan on the cheek, her movements perfectly natural.

Looking at the snow-white peaks before him, Fang Yuan put on a serious expression. "Sister Xue, I'm already an adult."
