Chapter 121 With You, With Everyone
Night arrives as scheduled, and it will not change according to anyone's will.
The subtle yet meaningful glances he received during the day already made Huo Yuhao's heart pound.
Previously, Huo Yuhao always felt that there were no particularly extreme thoughts between them, but when they learned that Gu Yuena had truly taken that step, completely breaking a certain delicate balance.
Huo Yuhao is now like a newlywed wife left alone in an empty house, while the neighbors around him are all eyeing him covetously, wanting to take a bite out of him.
The Silver Dragon King, on the other hand, was decisive and efficient.
Perhaps knowing that Huo Yuhao would be protecting Jiang Nannan as she absorbed the immortal herb tonight, or perhaps because her experience last night had already satisfied her, she didn't try to interfere like Zhu Lu had. After bathing, she went straight back to her room and fell asleep immediately.
dong dong dong-
A dull knocking sounded on the door.
A short while later, Jiang Nannan's gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Yuhao, I'm coming in."
Before Huo Yuhao could react, the door was gently pushed open.
Jiang Nannan walked in with light steps, carrying a bowl of steaming white fungus and red date soup.
A hint of doubt flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he watched Jiang Nannan enter carrying things.
"Sister Nan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Nannan seemed to notice the doubt in Huo Yuhao's eyes. She bit her lower lip, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks. After placing the small bowl on the table, she stammered, "..."
"Gu Yuena told me this morning that I might need to eat some foods that replenish qi and blood, so that's why I..."
Jiang Nannan felt that what she was saying at that moment was very malicious, as if she was deliberately pointing out something that was difficult to say.
It was as if it was implying, "Yuhao, you're already corrupt, so adding me along shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao finally understood.
It was all that bastard Gu Yuena's fault. No wonder there were a few extra red dates in his porridge this morning.
The problem is, shouldn't it be Gu Yuena who really needs to replenish her blood?
Even though Gu Yuena was utterly defeated by them last night, looking at the heartache in Jiang Nannan's eyes, they probably all thought that they were the ones who had been brutally tortured by Gu Yuena all night.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily.
Could I really tell them the truth about this matter right in front of them?
He could only sigh inwardly, helplessly pick up the small bowl on the table, and gulp it down in one go.
He then took out a new Narcissus Jade Bone from his storage soul guide and instructed Jiang Nannan on how to absorb the medicinal power of this immortal herb.
In the realm of ice and fire, unless a single immortal herb of the same kind develops complete sentience, there will not be only one of its kind.
According to Youyou, immortal herbs that have not developed complete intelligence will not be subject to excessive divine jealousy, and thus multiple plants can exist.
Only those immortal herbs with profound foundations that successfully survived the tribulation of lightning will cause the rest of their kind to perish completely.
To be precise, only those immortal herbs that have truly survived the tribulation of lightning can be considered truly heavenly treasures, rare and precious herbs that can only be found in the mortal world.
Huo Yuhao had also thought about this carefully.
Although there are indeed quite a few celestial herbs in the Yin-Yang Well, finding one with suitable attributes and compatible with one's martial soul is a rather difficult task.
Like the Narcissus Jade Bone plant, the one that's nearly 100,000 years old. Huo Yuhao plans to help it successfully overcome its tribulation before making it the soul spirit of Zhu Lu or Jiang Nannan.
The two plants that Zhu Lu and Jiang Nannan are currently consuming are the oldest, apart from that one.
The remaining Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscles are clearly insufficient in terms of age and medicinal efficacy to achieve the effect of improving aptitude and enhancing cultivation.
Not only is the Narcissus Jade's flesh and bone structure like this, but the quantity of other types of immortal herbs that are of high age is still limited.
Even some special immortal herbs, such as the Primordial Immortal Herb, possess strong exclusivity. Even if it has not yet developed complete intelligence, only one of it can exist at any given time.
The best solution might still be to refine a batch of Qiankun Creation Pills, just like in the previous life.
Unlike immortal herbs, which require consideration of the user's attributes and martial spirit for compatibility, the Qiankun Creation Pill can be absorbed as long as the user meets the minimum absorption standard.
In my previous life, a single Qiankun Creation Pill greatly enhanced the cultivation levels of nearly ten Tang Sect members who were at the Soul Emperor to Soul Douluo stage. Its effect on improving aptitude was in no way inferior to those immortal herbs.
The only issue that needs careful consideration is how to create an alchemy furnace that reaches the level of a level nine soul tool.
After all, that's a furnace that has to withstand the compression of so many medicinal herbs; if you're not careful, there's a risk of it exploding.
The main rare metal material used to make that alchemy furnace in my previous life was a piece of Crimson Demon Essence Gold, about half a cubic meter in size, which Xuan Ziwen found from somewhere, which allowed the furnace to be completed successfully.
The value of just one piece of Crimson Demon Gold is enough to easily buy a small city.
After Jiang Nannan consumed the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, her entire body radiated a faint jade-colored white light.
As the effects of the medicine continued to be released in her body, she went from sitting cross-legged to standing, with her hands naturally placed in front of her chest.
Those two long, straight legs, already as long and slender as white elephant tusks, were now even more eye-catching under the jade-colored halo.
Several hours later...
After Jiang Nannan had fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the immortal herb and taken a bath again, her attire became unusually daring.
After absorbing the power of the herbal medicine, the skin has a faint jade-like luster, as smooth and delicate as the finest white jade.
The silk nightgown, as thin as gauze, revealed large expanses of her fair and smooth skin without reservation.
As for the parts that are obscured, they evoke endless reverie in the hazy, indistinct view.
Huo Yuhao was resting his head on Jiang Nannan's firm thighs, his gaze unconsciously fixed on the unchanging soul-guiding lamp on the ceiling, while two fair hands gently massaged the boy's cheeks.
The atmosphere in the room had become unusually ambiguous.
However, Huo Yuhao could still sense that Jiang Nannan's body was somewhat unnaturally stiff, and even trembling slightly.
"Sister Nan, I feel much better now, and it's getting dark..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Jiang Nannan reached out and pressed her finger against his lips.
"Yuhao, stop talking, I understand."
Jiang Nannan's eyes held a hint of pity that Huo Yuhao couldn't understand at all.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's mind was instantly filled with question marks.
What did you understand?
Jiang Nannan's fingers gently slid down Huo Yuhao's lips, intending to unbutton his pajamas.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao looked embarrassed and quickly grabbed Jiang Nannan's restless little hand, trying to stop her from doing anything next.
"Sister Nan, what are you doing?"
"Didn't we agree that I would give you a massage?"
Jiang Nannan seemed completely oblivious to the strange expression on Huo Yuhao's face, stubbornly trying to unbutton his pajamas.
Feeling the force of resistance coming from Huo Yuhao's palm, Jiang Nannan's eyes inexplicably welled up with a moist luster, and even her voice carried a hint of aggrieved sobs.
"Yuhao, is there something about your body that I can't look at right now?"
Seeing Jiang Nannan's tearful appearance, Huo Yuhao felt a headache coming on and loosened his grip on her wrist.
Her pajamas were gently removed, revealing her bare upper body.
Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Yuhao, who was lying on the bed with his back completely exposed in front of her.
The numerous striking red claw marks on his back silently revealed the cruel brutality that had befallen the boy.
As her fingertips glided lightly over the surface, Jiang Nannan felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart as she thought of the torment Huo Yuhao had suffered last night.
Gu Yuena, she's not even human.
How could they treat Yuhao like this?
Suddenly, a strange thought popped into Jiang Nannan's mind.
Could the immortal herb she ate have been obtained by Huo Yuhao after he sold himself to Gu Yuena?
It's as if I can picture a wife secretly pleading with her boss behind her husband's back.
The boss merely gave a wicked smile, lightly touching his wife's chin, "Madam, you wouldn't want your husband to be fired because of his aptitude or cultivation level, would you?"
It was as if he were a naive younger brother, forced to submit to a noblewoman in order to help his ailing sister. Exhausted, he forced a smile and said to his sister, "Sister, we're rich now."
Jiang Nannan, who comes from a humble background, has experienced the ups and downs of life due to her mother's illness, and has come to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Huo Yuhao had previously helped her cure her mother's illness, and she had always remembered that kindness. He had even given her a free lunch.
Now, how could Huo Yuhao so easily give her this legendary herb that only appears in legends?
After much thought, only Gu Yuena, who has always been mysterious and has excessively strong abilities, is probably the one who can do it.
In order to improve the aptitude and talent of his companions, Huo Yuhao likely reached some heartbreaking secret agreement with the malicious Gu Yuena.
Otherwise, why would everyone have been so in sync for the past few months, and why would something like this have never happened before?
But as soon as Huo Yuhao took out the immortal herb, Gu Yuena couldn't wait to enjoy the food.
Yes, Jiang Nannan has seen through the truth.
Lying on the bed, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the soft weight of Jiang Nannan sitting on him.
Although her massage techniques were completely incompetent and even somewhat clumsy, her sincerity always warmed Huo Yuhao's heart.
Until he felt a dampness on his back, he turned his head slightly and saw the girl sobbing uncontrollably with tears streaming down her face.
"Sister Nan, what's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao was completely unprepared for the scene before him; he was just giving a massage, and suddenly he started crying.
"Yuhao, tell Nannan the truth. Where did you get this magic herb? Did Gu Yuena give it to you?"
Jiang Nannan wiped away the tears that kept flowing, her voice choked with sobs.
But as Huo Yuhao began to explain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Jiang Nannan stopped crying, but her cheeks became increasingly flushed.
This is completely different from the scenarios she had imagined!
"...Speaking of which, didn't Sister Xiaoya mention this to you at all?"
Finally, Huo Yuhao asked with some doubt.
Jiang Nannan coughed a few times, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused, as if she didn't want to continue this awkward topic.
Her hands pressed lightly on Huo Yuhao's back again, her gaze falling on the conspicuous red claw marks that were difficult for his hands to completely cover. Suddenly, she asked in a low voice, "Yuhao, are you happy being with Gu Yuena?"
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao looked puzzled and confused.
In his memory, Jiang Nannan didn't seem like the type of person who would ask such a question.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
"I'm just a little curious. Gu Yuena suddenly appeared next to you, and it seems like you're the only one in her eyes."
Jiang Nannan's tone was tinged with bitterness, "Yuhao, has anyone ever told you that when you and Gu Yuena stand together, you look so well-matched, so well-matched that it's as if the rest of us are superfluous?"
"Sister Nan Nan!"
Huo Yuhao turned around and stared at the pretty girl who was now straddling his lower abdomen.
"Do you feel happy when you're with me? To be a little shameless, I feel happy when I'm with Sister Nan and everyone else."
After a brief silence, Jiang Nannan smiled and couldn't help but rest her head on Huo Yuhao's chest.
"Silly boy, shouldn't I be the only one saying that? You really are just like Aunt Huo said, sometimes you're like a block of wood, you don't even know how to coax a girl."
Jiang Nannan's voice became unusually gentle, yet tinged with a hint of reproach.
"But Yuhao, do you know what? I feel so lucky to have met you."
Jiang Nannan slightly propped herself up, bringing her face even closer to Huo Yuhao.
Her golden hair fell gently down, brushing against Huo Yuhao's cheeks and bringing a slight tickle.
Huo Yuhao gazed into those golden eyes, where his own reflection was clearly seen in the clear pupils.
"Yuhao, I really want to be closer to you."
Jiang Nannan paused slightly, her eyes becoming somewhat hazy, and warm breaths mingled between them before a kiss landed.
Reliving the joys of youth, Jiang Nannan's longing grew even stronger.
"So even if you try to get rid of me, I won't leave..."
She murmured to herself.
