Bibi Dong slightly parted her lips and asked, "Wenshan, has something happened?"
Only trusted confidants chosen by Bibi Dong could serve as guards at the Pope's Palace, and these soul masters had her complete confidence.
The middle-aged guard in front of her was named Zhang Wenshan. He was a level 68 assault-type Soul Emperor, personally promoted by Bibi Dong to the position of guard captain, which is why she could address him by name directly.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, a young man named Xiao Feng has arrived at the foot of the mountain. He claims to have accidentally acquired an immortal herb known as Yearning Heartbroken Red and wishes to present it to you."
Before Bibi Dong could respond, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but exclaim, "Yearning Heartbroken Red!"
"Elder Chrysanthemum, do you recognise this herb?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity as she looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was visibly excited.
"Your Holiness, you might not know, but the Yearning Heartbroken Red is a supreme treasure among immortal herbs," Chrysanthemum Douluo explained with excitement, facing the curious gazes of those around him. "According to ancient texts, if a soul master below the level of Soul King consumes this flower, their soul power will increase by at least ten levels, and their martial spirit will undergo some degree of evolution."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly, and she instinctively glanced at Hu Liena, who was standing beside her.
Not long ago, Hu Liena had just absorbed her fourth soul ring, and this Yearning Heartbroken Red seemed ideally suited for her.
Hu Liena naturally understood this as well, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of fondness. She smiled and said, "Wenshan, bring Xiao Feng here."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Under the expectant gazes of Hu Liena and Chrysanthemum Douluo, Zhang Wenshan left and returned shortly, bringing with him a handsome, refined young man.
As soon as Xiao Feng entered the Pope's Hall, his gaze was immediately drawn to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.
Bibi Dong was draped in a purple-golden long dress, lounging lazily on the Pope's throne. From Xiao Feng's perspective, the first thing he noticed was her long, slender legs, followed by her tiny waist, which seemed fragile enough to be grasped with one hand, and then her delicate fingers, as pale and graceful as green onions.
As his eyes travelled upward along her hands, he was amazed by her prominent, dangerous curves and, finally, her breathtaking beauty.
While Hu Liena was undeniably a stunning beauty herself, standing next to Bibi Dong made her seem a bit overshadowed.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Bibi Dong was the most beautiful woman Xiao Feng had ever seen. Only Yanling Ji could rival her in appearance, but even Yanling Ji lacked the refined aura that Bibi Dong possessed.
After all, Bibi Dong wasn't just the Pope of the Spirit Hall; she also carried the mature allure of a married woman.
If Xiao Feng had to rate Bibi Dong, it would undoubtedly be a perfect score—100 points! 100 points! 100 points!
Some things need to be repeated three times for emphasis!
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly understood why Qian Xunji had been so captivated by Bibi Dong. Her charm was indeed hard to resist.
However, Bibi Dong's strength was overwhelming, far beyond what Xiao Feng could handle. Otherwise, he might have wanted to test her limits.
Sensing Xiao Feng's invasive gaze, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly as she reprimanded, "How dare you! You..."
[Congratulations to the Ho…
"Return."
Before Bibi Dong could finish her sentence, Xiao Feng silently muttered to himself.
[Simulation complete!]
[Drawing simulation rewards: Please purchase any desired rewards using the following options. Five rewards will then be randomly selected.]
"Five free chances to draw should be enough, right?" Xiao Feng thought to himself as he turned his attention to the ten random rewards displayed in front of him.
[Yearning Heartbroken Red (Price: 15,000 merit points)]
[Mark of the Slaughter God Domain (Price: 50,000 merit points)]
[Attached Soul Bone: Six-Winged Purple Light Wings (Price: 20,000 merit points)]
[Ten-Thousand-Year Mirror Demon Spider Right Leg Bone (Price: 100,000 merit points)]
[Spirit Hall Guard Standard Sword (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Chrysanthemum Douluo's Custom Nail Polish (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring Water, 100 pounds (Price: 5,000 merit points)]
[Recovery Sausage (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Hu Liena's Worn Underwear (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Ghost Douluo's Black Robe Cloak (Price: 1 merit point)]
Xiao Feng frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.
What he truly wanted was the ability to gain immunity to fire and ice properties—a unique constitution that would make him immune to magma. With that, he could help Qinglin tame the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and retrieve the Green Lotus Core Flame hidden in the sea of lava.
Although he was a bit let down, Xiao Feng quickly adjusted his mindset.
In the end, he spent five merit points on the cheapest five rewards and used his five free draws to claim the rest.
The quality of the simulation rewards was still very high. First and foremost was the Yearning Heartbroken Red, known as a supreme treasure among immortal herbs.
With Xiao Feng's current eight-star Dou Fighter cultivation, consuming the Yearning Heartbroken Red would likely allow him to break through to the level of a three-star Dou Master.
However, Xiao Feng didn't intend to use the Yearning Heartbroken Red for himself. He planned to give it to Qinglin instead.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red was different from ordinary immortal herbs. In order to pick it from the Black Jade Stone, one had to think of their true love with unwavering sincerity and spit blood onto the petals. Only then could the flower be picked.
If one's heart wavered, even if they bled to death, they wouldn't be able to pick the flower.
If someone tried to forcefully pick the Yearning Heartbroken Red, its medicinal properties would be lost, wasting a precious herb.
Given Xiao Feng's flirtatious nature, he certainly couldn't pick the Yearning Heartbroken Red, so he decided to give it to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to use.
Both Xiao Yixian and Qinglin viewed Xiao Feng as their "white moonlight," so they should be able to pick the flower.
Since Xiao Yixian could directly consume poisons to grow stronger, Xiao Feng planned to give her the highly toxic Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring water, while the Yearning Heartbroken Red would go to Qinglin.
After all, the toxins in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring were so potent that even Titled Douluo-level experts dared not touch it lightly. Its toxicity was comparable to that of a grade five or six poison.
For Xiao Yixian, who possessed the Woeful Poison Body, the hundred pounds of spring water, which was akin to a five or six-grade poison, would be far more valuable than the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
After storing away the Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring water, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the two soul bones he had received.
