"Oh my, where did this little phoenix come from?"
"Are you planning to burn our home down?"
Just as Ma Xiaotao was using brute force to destroy the poisonous creatures,
a lovely female voice, its tone full of resentment, suddenly rang out from the valley ahead.
"Who's there?"
Hearing that voice, Wang Qiu'er immediately grew alert and took out her Golden Dragon Spear.
Zi JI, however, smiled faintly beside her.
"Not a human. A Soul Beast!"
"To think there's a high-level plant-type Soul Beast here!"
Upon hearing Zi JI's words,
the owner of that voice slowly revealed herself.
She was actually an Immortal Herb, fiery red all over.
As she swayed in the wind, a fiery red human figure condensed above her petals.
This was the Infernal Delicate Apricot!
A plant-type Ferocious Beast nurtured by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
"Oh my, members of the Dragon Clan! What rare guests. Have you come to pay respects to your ancestors?"
At the sight of the three women and one man before them,
every plant in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well bristled like a soldier.
Besides this fiery red beauty,
several more Immortal Herbs capable of human speech soon appeared behind her.
Every one of them looked as though facing a formidable enemy.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand!"
"We're not here to cause trouble. We're here to find the Dragon King Skeleton!"
Seeing that the other side seemed hostile,
Wang Qiu'er, the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, hurried forward.
But upon hearing her explanation,
the Immortal Herbs opposite them refused to give her any face.
"Are you trying to dig up the very roots of our Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"If we give you the bodies of the two Dragon Kings, wouldn't we be digging our own graves?"
The Infernal Delicate Apricot was right about that.
If the skeletons of these two Dragon Kings were dug out,
the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would be ruined.
And the Immortal Herbs that depended on it for survival would suffer a drastic drop in cultivation, or even wither outright.
That was something they absolutely did not want to see.
But compared with Wang Qiu'er's conciliatory approach,
the Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI beside her was growing impatient.
"Are you weeds courting death? Hand over the Dragon Bones obediently, now, or else..."
Sure enough, Zi JI reserved her tenderness for her lover alone.
Before outsiders, this beautiful, mature woman was still ferocious.
As she spoke, terrifying Dragon Might emanated from her.
Although her cultivation was only around two hundred thousand years,
that oppressive force was not something ordinary Soul Beasts could withstand.
"Heh, are you planning to take them by force?"
At that moment, another Immortal Herb with a sweet voice stepped forward.
It was the Aromatic Silk Beauty!
She had also been a renowned existence back in Douluo Continent I.
Seeing the two sides with swords drawn and bows bent,
Luo Feng could not help interjecting.
"Ahem!"
"Everyone, do you think we could discuss a solution?"
"I mean, I could relocate your entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. What do you think?"
In fact, before they came, Gu Yuena had already spoken privately with Luo Feng.
Using Gu Yuena's reverse scale as a guide,
they could draw on the Power of Dragon Valley to move the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into that valley.
That way, not only would none of this be destroyed,
it might even offer these Immortal Herbs new opportunities.
But their cooperation was a prerequisite.
And the moment Luo Feng intervened, the Immortal Herbs opposite them focused their attention on him.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, who had appeared later, in particular,
even transformed into a slender beauty.
She slowly walked up to Luo Feng.
"This young man's words are rather pleasing to the ear. How about we make a wager?"
"If you pass our trial, we'll listen to you. If you fail, please leave!"
As this petite woman spoke,
the Infernal Delicate Apricot beside her actually withdrew her combative air.
She even cleared a path.
But why did this feel like a plot?
"Husband, don't waste your breath on these wretched weeds. Let me cut them all off at the roots!"
Clearly, Zi JI was not buying it.
Why waste words on something that could be settled with fists?
But Wang Qiu'er and Ma Xiaotao nodded beside her.
"A Feng, we were too rash to begin with. Let's hear what they have to say first!"
It was two against one.
Seeing that these two sisters wanted to ease the situation, Zi JI had nothing more to say.
But she continued staring at the other side suspiciously!
"You two weeds had better not play any tricks, or I'll hack you into eight pieces!"
Threatened by this Dragon Maiden,
the Aromatic Silk Beauty visibly trembled.
But she still led everyone to a flower that looked very beautiful.
"This is the Lovesick Heartbreak Red!"
"I wonder whether you've heard of its great name?"
"Back then, Sea God Tang San used this Immortal Herb to bear witness to the love between himself and his wife!"
"All three of you seem deeply devoted to this young man. Why not use this as the trial?"
Hearing the words of these two Immortal Herb beauties,
Luo Feng's heart gave a sudden lurch.
In the original timeline of Peerless Tang Sect,
this Lovesick Heartbreak Red had originally been left by Tang San for his daughter.
It had also served as a test of Huo Yuhao's feelings for Wang Dong.
He had never expected that his appearance as a transmigrator
would turn this Lovesick Heartbreak Red into a test for him, Wang Qiu'er, Zi JI, and Ma Xiaotao.
"That doesn't seem very appropriate!"
"As far as I know, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red works on one man and one woman, but right now, we're..."
Almost reflexively, Luo Feng blurted out what was on his mind.
Upon hearing this, Zi JI drew the sword she had just put away.
"So, I knew you weeds were up to no good! Are you trying to sow discord between us?"
Little did they know, however, that once they approached the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, they had already fallen into the trap.
"Do it!"
At the Infernal Delicate Apricot's command,
every Immortal Herb throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, whether ten thousand years old or over a hundred thousand years old,
or even newly sprouted Immortal Herbs,
began swaying at once without any wind!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!"
Stream after stream of plant-type Soul Power rose into the air, weaving a Red Love Net.
It enveloped the man and three women before them.
Like a Magic Array, it began rotating and operating in a regular pattern.
And the core of this Magic Array was the Lovesick Heartbreak Red before them, which had lived for over ten thousand years.
"The trial has already begun. Until there's a result, none of you should dream of leaving!"
The Aromatic Silk Beauty's voice drifted over.
Then the phoenix wings behind Ma Xiaotao folded away on their own, and Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear silently dissipated as well.
Zi JI initially still had some ability to resist.
But soon, that sword also vanished into the sky.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng felt something even stranger.
He seemed to see red threads of varying thickness connecting him to the three women before him.
Like the red strings held by the Old Man Under the Moon,
they bound the four of them tightly together!
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red!"
"If there is love, join hands!"
"With just one drop of Heart Blood, you can be with your beloved forever!"
"Young man, what will you choose?"
"Which of these three is your true love?"
