Lovesick Heartbreak Red

The truth was much as Dai Mubai had guessed.

After he left back then, Dai Weisi had still been furious.

He had even wanted to send people to kill him early to prevent any unexpected developments.

But the Star Luo Emperor had intercepted all those assassination attempts, without even alerting Black Panther.

Not only that, he had also passed information about Dai Mubai to Dai Weisi with certain details concealed.

Of course, the information the Star Luo Emperor knew had already been filtered by Black Panther.

As a result, Dai Weisi really had believed it.

But Zhu Zhuyun always felt something was wrong. Coupled with her persistent feeling that her younger sister's cultivation was advancing at an abnormal rate, she sent people to investigate again.

However, rather than directly sending Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire to investigate as Dai Weisi had, she had a grain caravan investigate as ordinary people.

They still found nothing unusual about Dai Mubai.

They did, however, discover abnormalities among the people around him.

And all those people revolved around him.

That alone was enough to reveal a great deal.

Besides, Zhu Zhuyun had never intended to kill her younger sister in the first place.

Then she found an opportunity to tell her younger sister how Dai Mubai was disguising himself and lulling Dai Weisi into complacency, explaining that he was also leaving Zhu Zhuqing a way out.

By doing this, she was leaving herself a way out too.

In truth, Zhu Zhuyun had also been protecting Zhu Zhuqing; outsiders simply knew nothing of her methods.

When their second sister died, she had already begun wondering whether their third sister would meet the same end in the future.

Her thinking back then had been simple: as long as Dai Mubai died, the struggle for the throne could end.

Even if her younger sister had to become Dai Weisi's concubine, at least her life would be preserved.

Zhu Zhuqing had already regarded Dai Mubai as that ray of light in her heart from her younger days. After hearing her sister's account, how could she harbor any resentment? All that remained was endless adoration.

"For that alone, I'll spare your sister's life in the future."

Dai Mubai truly had not expected Zhu Zhuyun to be so quick-witted.

Zhu Zhuyun's life could be spared, but Dai Weisi was another matter.

"Because of some fortuitous encounters, my Martial Soul evolved. I wonder whether we can still produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Dai Mubai brought up the matter that concerned him most.

"Martial Soul Evolution? You actually had such an opportunity."

At this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes immediately lit up.

But soon, the brightness in her eyes turned to worry.

If we can no longer form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, will I still be worthy of being with him?

With an uneasy heart, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to approach Dai Mubai.

As they gradually drew closer, they activated their Martial Souls and Soul Power together.

Although Dai Mubai's Martial Soul had now evolved into the Darkgolden Tiger King, its Martial Soul Origin was still the White Tiger. Its origin had simply grown stronger and undergone a transformation.

The connection left from before remained.

Drawn by their Martial Soul Origins, Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet Martial Soul merged completely into Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, but the Martial Soul Fusion did not succeed.

"It... failed..."

This result dealt Zhu Zhuqing a heavy blow.

"No, it succeeded."

"The foundation for Martial Soul Fusion is still there. It's just that your current cultivation and Martial Soul quality fall a little short. That's why it couldn't succeed."

"It's not a big problem. We just need to improve the quality of your Martial Soul."

Dai Mubai gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's forehead, comforting her with a smile.

At that moment, he was also extremely happy.

The underlying foundation for Martial Soul Fusion remained. It was merely a matter of helping improve her Martial Soul's grade.

It was no great problem. He had prepared for it long ago.

Not just Immortal Herbs, but other things as well.

The timing was just right.

"Can it really be done?"

Zhu Zhuqing was still a little worried.

Improving a Martial Soul's quality, also known as Martial Soul Evolution, was something many people on the Douluo Continent had heard of, but actually accomplishing it was extraordinarily difficult.

It existed only in rumors.

For Dai Mubai's Martial Soul to evolve was already an immense stroke of fortune. Hoping he could help her achieve Martial Soul Evolution too was truly asking for too much.

"Don't worry. You have me, don't you?"

"Besides, even if I can't help your Martial Soul evolve, even without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, my current strength and resources are enough to keep you safe."

Seeing a vulnerability at odds with her usual demeanor emerge on Zhu Zhuqing's cool face, Dai Mubai felt that even without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, keeping her by his side would be a good choice.

"Come with me!"

Dai Mubai then took Zhu Zhuqing to the underground secret chamber.

After all, at this point, there was still a rat spying from the shadows.

To prevent Black Panther from clashing with him, he had specifically arranged for Black Panther to attend to other matters for the time being.

Although he could now exchange blows with Tang Hao, there was still a gap he needed to bridge before he could defeat and crush him.

After all, a skill like Ring Detonation was simply too unreasonable.

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not know what Dai Mubai intended to do, she obediently followed him.

Ever since seeing Dai Mubai, her perpetually uneasy heart had instantly settled.

Following him, let alone into a basement-even into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to face a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast-she would not hesitate in the slightest.

Only after reaching the basement did Dai Mubai take two jade boxes out of his Storage Soul Tool.

Initially, he had only prepared Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone for Zhu Zhuqing. This Immortal Herb could not only increase her cultivation speed but also improve her figure. Although her figure was already excellent, what was wrong with making it even better?

But just now, he had made a decision on the spot.

That was why he took two Immortal Herbs out of his Storage Soul Tool. One was the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, while the other was the most precious Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The only divine-grade herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Although it was called a cursed flower, its effects were beyond question. If he could get it to acknowledge a master, perhaps that would be quite a good thing too.

He knew himself very well. He would never be able to make it bloom.

But what about Zhu Zhuqing as she was now?

Perhaps she would bring him an unexpected surprise.

"These are two Immortal Herbs, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Lovesick Heartbreak Red..."

Dai Mubai then explained the specific effects of the two Immortal Herbs to her in detail and told her the outlandish story associated with Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Lovesickness, heartbreak..."

After hearing Dai Mubai's story, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes fixed on Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Wasn't this prepared just for me?

Although she did not know where Dai Mubai had obtained these things, his description alone was enough for her to conclude that he must have faced mortal danger to acquire such divine treasures.

He had stood before her, blocking unprecedented dangers.

I must keep pace with you and stop being a burden!

With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward of her own accord and chose to have Lovesick Heartbreak Red acknowledge her as its master.
