Chapter 97: Flood Dragon VS Rabbit
"What did you give Xiao Wu to eat?" Da Ming's voice echoed in Lin Yang's ears.
Lin Yang curled his lips and explained, "It's an Immortal Herb, a spiritual entity born from heaven and earth. Each one has the effect of seizing the creation of heaven and earth."
"You're willing to part with such a treasure?"
"I said I would help her grow," Lin Yang raised an eyebrow. "You didn't think I was just talking, did you?"
Da Ming was silent for a long while before finally saying slowly, "We won't take advantage of you. What do you want?"
Lin Yang's heart stirred.
The unique environment of the Star Dou Great Forest was not only a paradise for Soul Beasts but also contained many rare medicinal herbs that were seldom seen outside.
If he could find one or two Immortal Herbs, he would make a fortune.
Lin Yang stated his request. Da Ming fell silent again; he hadn't expected Lin Yang to only want medicinal herbs.
He thought Lin Yang would want a Soul Beast or a Soul Bone.
"I'll have Er Ming look for them."
"I'd better go myself."
Lin Yang was clearly unwilling to leave it to someone else.
What did a muscle-bound gorilla like Er Ming know about medicinal herbs? He might end up ruining good herbs.
Meanwhile, as the medicinal power of the qirong tongtian chrysanthemum was continuously refined, a violent surge of Soul Power erupted from Xiao Wu's body.
Two yellow Soul Rings slowly emerged beneath her.
After a while, as if breaking through some boundary, a deep purple Soul Ring condensed on her body.
Once the Soul Power in her body completely settled, she opened her eyes, and her figure instantly vanished, reappearing twenty meters away.
Lin Yang's eyes flashed: Still Teleportation?
But he soon widened his eyes as he saw Xiao Wu teleport twice in succession, with the last one appearing directly behind him.
The Soul Ring flashed once, yet she teleported three times in a row?
"Xiao Wu, your Soul skills, "
Clinging to Lin Yang's back, Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled. "My third Soul Ring has a cultivation of six thousand years. The Soul skills is called Teleportation. I can move freely within a thirty-meter range and can use it three times in a row."
Lin Yang's eyes lit up. As expected.
Although it was still Teleportation, the difference between teleporting once and teleporting three times was far from insignificant.
Three consecutive teleports gave Xiao Wu incredible mobility and room for error.
If paired with the Transparent World, she could basically strike first the moment an enemy made a move.
Indeed, stats have their terror, but mechanics have their charm.
Even he couldn't help but want a skill like this.
"What level are you now?"
Xiao Wu said, "Level thirty-three."
Lin Yang nodded slightly. She had risen five levels, which was quite good overall; she was almost catching up to him.
He was only level thirty-six now.
The qirong tongtian chrysanthemum wasn't an Immortal Herb specifically for increasing Soul Power; its primary focus was enhancing physical strength.
If one looked closely, a faint golden glow would appear on the surface of Xiao Wu's body when she circulated her Soul Power.
Xiao Wu's physical strength was already good, and now it was even better.
If she faced the Shadow Cat again, Lin Yang would walk backward if she didn't kick him until he was a dead cat within three moves.
There was no helping it; with Soul Power, Martial Soul Abilities, and physical strength stacked together, the increase in overall strength wasn't as simple as 1+1+1=3.
Afterward, Xiao Wu and Lin Yang began "treasure hunting" in the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the deterrent of the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, Lin Yang didn't need to hide at all and began treasure hunting openly.
Jade Blood Dragon Beard Vine, Soul-Calming Flower, Starlight Spirit-Gathering Grass, Hundred Dragon Seeds, and other rare medicinal herbs were all collected by Lin Yang into the Ruyi treasure bag.
Of course, Lin Yang would try to leave seeds behind whenever possible, taking everything else with him.
The biggest harvest was a Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi that Lin Yang accidentally discovered on a cliff.
Although it didn't reach the level of an Immortal Herb, it was still a rare treasure.
After a bountiful harvest, the duo of thieves, Lin Yang and Xiao Wu, finally left the Star Dou Great Forest, riding A Da back to Red Maple Village first.
Grandma Su Xi was extremely surprised to see Xiao Wu, and after learning she was with Lin Yang, she was all smiles.
If Lin Yang hadn't subtly changed the subject, she probably would have started talking about their children.
After staying in Red Maple Village for only three days, the two returned to Heaven Dou City.
Lin Yang first settled Xiao Wu in the Butterfly House, only to run straight into Dugu Yan, who happened to be visiting.
With just one look at each other, they both identified the other as a formidable rival.
"This is that stinky snake?"
"This is that country bumpkin rabbit?"
Whether it was because their Martial Souls naturally countered each other, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan took an immediate dislike to one another upon meeting.
Before two sentences were even exchanged, they began to clash.
At first, it was just a war of words, using Powder Shooting Shadow and indirect insults.
But after a few exchanges, the Little Rabbit's "stinky snake" remark caused Dugu Yan to lose her cool on the spot.
"You dead rabbit, today I'll show you why Lord Ma has three eyes!"
"As if I'm afraid of you, stinky snake!"
"Ahhh... you dead rabbit!"
Dugu Yan was so furious she was jumping with rage. Since she couldn't win with words, she would settle it with her hands.
"Flood Dragon Breathing Technique, First Form: Poison Fang!"
"You want to fight? I'll take you on."
Xiao Wu rubbed her hands together, eager to try. With a stomp, her figure instantly turned into a tornado, "Softness Breathing Technique, Fifth Form: Strong Wind: Wheel Dance!"
In an instant, the small courtyard of the Butterfly House became their battlefield.
Invisible gales overturned the dried medicinal herbs, and large clouds of green poison mist made the courtyard a mess.
Catherine huddled in a corner, "shivering."
Meanwhile, Ye Lengling gave Lin Yang a faint, cold glance, her eyes carrying the look one gives a "scumbag." "Aren't you going to stop them?"
Stop them?
Lin Yang shook his head like a rattle.
Going out now would just be inviting trouble, wouldn't it?
No stopping, definitely no stopping.
Besides, the two girls had similar tempers and weren't particularly calculating.
They were also being very measured in their fight—didn't you see they weren't even using Martial Soul Abilities?
Perhaps letting them fight would make it easier for them to understand each other.
Ye Lengling looked at the scene before her, which looked like a Wind had passed through.
You call this being measured?
In reality, it was indeed so.
Xiao Wu had no resistance to poison, but Dugu Yan didn't dare let Xiao Wu get close.
Their Soul Power was also similar, so the situation reached a stalemate for a while.
Once they had fought enough, they both stopped at the same time.
And that's when Lin Yang should make his entrance—detoxifying those who needed it and healing those who needed it.
His main goal was to treat them both equally, without favoring either.
"Lin Yang, I really underestimated you!"
Dugu Yan's long, slender finger tapped Lin Yang's chest, her narrow eyes glinting with a dangerous look. "Do you want to enjoy the blessing of having both?"
Lin Yang played dumb.
I'm only nine years old; I don't understand these matters of love. You are all my dearest friends and kin, my brothers and sisters.
This reaction almost made Dugu Yan grind her teeth to dust. "Since you want to balance things, then keep them balanced. Be careful not to capsize the boat and drown yourself; no one will save you then."
After saying that, Dugu Yan boldly kissed Lin Yang on the cheek, gave Xiao Wu a provocative look, and turned to leave the Butterfly House.
The Little Rabbit's eyes instantly turned red. "Lin Yang,!"
Looking at the fuming Xiao Wu, Lin Yang felt helpless. It seemed there would be no peace in the future.
