"Marvelous!" At the Tang Sect headquarters, Zang Xin burst into hearty laughter.
In Cao Dezhi's letter of apology, he specifically clarified that the overstepping temporary worker was not affiliated with the Tang Sect.
With that, the Tang Sect was only left with the blame of poor personnel management.
Lovesick Heartbroken Red, the King of Immortal Herbs!It was more than enough compensation for Xia Yi.
Zang Xin had even noted in the letter that 20,000 years ago, when Tang Sect's wife, Xiao Wu, sacrificed herself, it was Lovesick Heartbroken Red that brought her back to life.
Ten thousand years ago, when the wife of the God of Emotions, Tang Wutong, was gravely ill, it was also the God of Emotions who used Lovesickness Heartbreak Red to heal her.
Being favored by two legendary deities, Lovesick Heartbroken Red was certainly an adequate compensation for the harm Xia Yi had suffered.
Of course, that was under the condition that Xia Yi could successfully pick the herb.
Zang Xin laughed himself to tears!
As if Xia Yi could ever pick Lovesick Heartbroken Red!
"If Xia Yi manages to pick Lovesick Heartbroken Red, I'll livestream myself eating shit," Zang Xin sneered internally with disdain.
For thousands of years, countless Tang Sect members had attempted to pluck Lovesickness Heartbreak Red, yet without exception, all had failed.
Even he and Cao Dezhi had failed, let alone someone as indecisive as Xia Yi.
Star Luo Empire
The Tang Sect had just rescinded the kill order and issued an apology letter.
Xia Yi hadn't even received the news yet when Leng Yaozhu called him via long-distance soul communication.
"Use Dream walking Immortal Art to find me. I have something to tell you," Leng Yaozhu said in a serious tone.
"Alright, give me a moment," Xia Yi replied without delay. He immediately used the Dream walking Immortal Art and entered the dream realm to meet Leng Yaozhu.
Seeing the dreamscape, Xia Yi was momentarily stunned.
Above was a vast blue sky, and before him was an endless sea. Leng Yaozhu lay lazily on the beach in a light swimsuit, basking in the sun.
Seeing Xia Yi appear, she immediately stood up with a playful smile. "Do you like it?"
"I love it, love it too much!" Xia Yi swallowed hard. If he hadn't known this was a dream, he might not have been able to hold himself back.
Beneath the sheer swimsuit, Leng Yaozhu's flawless figure was tantalizingly visible. Every inch of her skin glowed under the sunlight, and her fiery red hair shimmered like flames.
"Hehe, after studying your Dream walking Immortal Art, I experimented with it multiple times. Though it's not as miraculous as your version, with my strong spiritual power, I can fully control my own dreamscape. Now, every time you use Dream walking Immortal Art to find me, you can experience different scenes," Leng Yaozhu giggled.
"You're so thoughtful, my Zhu'er," Xia Yi embraced Leng Yaozhu and pressed a passionate kiss onto her enticing red lips.
"I'm just making sure you have a better experience," Leng Yaozhu murmured. She didn't hold back in the dream; one hand wrapped around Xia Yi's neck, eagerly responding to his advances, while the other undid the buttons of his shirt.
As time passed, even within the dream, Leng Yaozhu struggled to keep up. Her alluring eyes were hazy, and she lay exhausted against Xia Yi, her sweat-drenched hair sticking to her delicate, flushed face.
Her expression was one of utter contentment. A rosy glow covered her fair skin, and her eyes shone with boundless affection and captivating charm.
"You really are like a stubborn mule," Leng Yaozhu playfully tapped Xia Yi's chest and said, "I should really thank my sister. Otherwise, I might have let you slip away."
"When I return to the Douluo Continent, I'll thank her properly," Xia Yi chuckled.
"Shameless!" Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes before asking, "Do you know about the Tang Sect's apology letter?"
"Apology letter? What apology letter?" Xia Yi asked curiously.
Leng Yaozhu immediately explained Cao Dezhi's apology.
"You called me just for this?" Xia Yi asked.
"I want you to get Lovesick Heartbroken Red for my sister," Leng Yaozhu stated directly. After all, he was her man—there was nothing to be shy about.
She had always felt deeply guilty toward Leng Yulai, especially because of her injuries.
Leng Yaozhu had been searching for a way to help, but Leng Yulai's wounds were severe and had lingered for decades. Even with all her abilities, she had found no solution.
Though Leng Yulai could slowly recover using the first part of The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon on medical techniques, it would take at least two to three years for full recovery.
Lovesick Heartbroken Red was the only divine herb Leng Yaozhu had found that could potentially restore Leng Yulai's health in a short time.
"No problem, I'll pick it once I return to the Douluo Continent," Xia Yi nodded.
Currently, Leng Yaozhu was serving as Blood One in the Blood God Legion, commanding the Blood God Battalion.
She couldn't leave the Blood God Legion anytime soon.
Leng Yulai had already been forced to handle everything on her own.
Now that she was managing Phoenix Corporation alone and had completely antagonized the Tang Sect, Xia Yi couldn't be sure that the Tang Sect wouldn't try to harm her.
She needed to recover as quickly as possible, using The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon and Medusa's Sin God trial to break through to Ultimate Douluo.
Against an organization like the Tang Sect, only an Ultimate Douluo could truly be considered safe.
"You agreed just like that?" Leng Yaozhu stared at Xia Yi in disbelief, her beautiful eyes misting over.
This was the King of Immortal Herbs! Yet, Xia Yi had agreed without a moment's hesitation.
Leng Yaozhu knew that if she or Gu Yue had asked, Xia Yi would have agreed without question.
But Leng Yulai? She wasn't so sure.
Yet, Xia Yi had agreed without a second thought.
"Yulai is just a bit stubborn. She was released for your sake, and besides, didn't you say we should be grateful to her?" Xia Yi said.
"Thank you!"
So many words welled up in Leng Yaozhu's heart, but in the end, all she could say was a simple thank you.
She hugged Xia Yi tightly. Ever since she had been with him, she felt she had no more regrets in life.
Leng Yulai was the only burden left on her heart, and now that weight was gone.
"Lovesick Heartbroken Red, the King of Immortal Herbs..." Xia Yi narrowed his eyes.
He found it hard to believe the Tang Sect would offer such a priceless treasure as mere compensation.
Either they were luring him into a trap, or they were hiding a crucial detail.
But he didn't care. Whatever came, he would deal with it.
More than Lovesick Heartbroken Red, what he truly cared about was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Though valuable, Lovesickness Heartbreak Red was nothing compared to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Previously, he and Gu Yue had ordered Di Tian and the others to search for it, but they had found nothing.
Now, the Tang Sect had unknowingly delivered it straight to him.
Wasn't this just like getting a pillow handed to you the moment you felt sleepy?
"The Lovesick Heartbroken Red!"
Hearing that the Tang Sect was willing to give up the King of Immortal Herbs, the most shocked person was Yali, who was right next to Xia Yi.
Like Leng Yulai, Yali also had lingering, irreparable injuries.
She had once read about this divine herb in the archives of Shrek Academy and had wanted to pick it to heal herself—so she and Yun Ming could have a child of their own.
But when she and Yun Ming had approached Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi, they were refused outright.
Even though Yun Ming was a Tang Sect disciple, he wasn't a core member, and his primary identity was the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy.
As for Yali, she wasn't a Tang Sect disciple at all.
Back then, Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi had been very clear:
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is one of the Tang Sect's greatest secrets. No one outside the core disciples may enter."
Yet now, they were offering it to Xia Yi as compensation?
Yali couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Just what was the Tang Sect planning?
