Blood dripped onto the petals, and in less than a second, its effect was evident. The Acacia Red grew even brighter, and soon, a warm glow like the first rays of sunrise flickered.
It rose into the air, swirling around Qian Renxue.
"Is this... has it recognized a master?"
Qian Renxue opened her beautiful eyes, feeling that her mind had established some sort of connection with the flower.
After a moment, the floating Acacia Red moved toward Qian Renxue and gently landed in her hand!
Qian Renxue carefully took the Acacia Red, her beautiful eyes somewhat puzzled as she looked at Ye Feng.
"Yes, Xue'er, as long as this Acacia Red remains beside its master after being picked, it will never wither. Now that the flower has recognized you as its master, you should harvest it quickly,"
Ye Feng said to her.
Honestly speaking, Ye Feng had also been very concerned about the flower king, the Acacia Red.
After all, picking the flower required a person with an extremely pure mind.
Although he had known Qian Renxue for many years, he wasn't certain whether she was a person with a pure mind or not.
Besides purity of mind, there was also the matter of love.
Zhu Qing had failed before.
Later, the Master also failed.
In fact, besides this flower, Ye Feng had prepared other Immortal Grass Elixirs.
But he wanted to try with this one first.
The outcome was truly unexpected.
At the same time, Ye Feng had come to a clear realization, which was that Xue'er did have him in her heart.
And he was the only one.
"Feng, the story you just told is true, isn't it?"
The sunset that had been present just a moment ago had unknowingly fallen, and suddenly Qian Renxue turned to look at Ye Feng, her eyes glittering with a bright light.
"Ah?"
Ye Feng was taken aback by her words.
Had he heard wrong?
Why would Xue'er say the same thing as Xiaowu?
Or was it because of the flower? Or was it perhaps that, in reality, Xue'er had long grown weary of Martial Soul Hall's deceit and yearned for someone to protect her?
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue slightly tilted her chin.
It seemed she wanted to hear an answer.
"It should be true,"
Ye Feng said, having repeated the story exactly as it was without knowing for sure if it were true.
"It must be true,"
Qian Renxue's voice was like a spring breeze, clear and pleasing to the ear.
The Acacia Red she was holding onto was protected in her palm like the most cherished gift.
"Hurry up and eat it, it can increase your Soul Power by ten levels~"
Ye Feng said to Qian Renxue.
"What, Feng, are you implying that you despise my low level with that comment?"
Suddenly, Qian Renxue stowed the Acacia Red away.
Then, her large eyes narrowed slightly as she looked toward Ye Feng.
"Not at all, I just want you to level up faster,"
Ye Feng said with a wry smile on his face at the moment.
He wouldn't dare to despise Qian Renxue for her low level.
Now, he didn't even know what level she was at!
"Although you've been desperately cultivating recently and obtained your fifth soul ring to reach the level of Soul King, I haven't been slacking off either. I've already reached the Soul Douluo level,"
Qian Renxue said to Ye Feng, a hint of pride in her tone.
These things could not be told to anyone else.
She could only tell the man in front of her.
"What, you've reached the Soul Douluo level? Then, if you ate the Acacia Red and advanced ten levels, wouldn't you become a Titled Douluo directly?"
Ye Feng was astounded upon hearing this.
That's too strong.
If he remembered correctly, wasn't Xue'er only twenty years old now?
Indeed, she was the strongest talent on the Continent.
It was truly puzzling why she would fall in love with Tang San in the original story.
It was completely beyond comprehension.
Even Tang San had become her inner demon.
What the hell is all this!!
That kid with just a blade of grass and a hammer, he's worthy??
"So, how about it? The last time we sparred was a year ago, why don't we have another practice match tonight? Chrysanthemum Douluo mentioned that your fifth soul ring is not too shabby, and I'd like to see for myself how good you are as a Soul King."
Qian Renxue said to Ye Feng in the moment.
The battle intent was evident in those beautiful eyes.
Playing the role of crown prince, she rarely had the chance to engage in combat.
"Since Xue'er is in the mood, then let's have a good practice match tonight!"
Ye Feng displayed an attitude completely free from fear.
"Qian Renxue, level 83 Battle Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Six-winged Angel!"
Qian Renxue did not hesitate at all; she directly invoked her martial soul, a six-winged angel bathed in holy light.
"Ye Feng, level 60 peak Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe!"
Ye Feng showed no sign of weakness.
He unleashed his martial soul straight away.
"Level 60??"
Qian Renxue was shocked.
Wasn't he said to have just advanced to being a Soul King?
It seems Feng is also a freak of nature.
Just like herself when she was fourteen, she was only slightly higher in level.
The battle was about to erupt at any moment.
Explosions roared through the forest!
Not a blade of grass grew in an area of ten miles!!
It was indeed an exhilarating fight.
Eleven o'clock at night.
Having rid themselves of the sweat from the river, they were bathed in moonlight, feeling utterly refreshed.
The two of them chatted leisurely by the fire they had made.
"Xue'er, try this."
The rabbit was ready.
With some special seasoning sprinkled on it, the aromatic scent was enticing.
"It smells so good~"
Qian Renxue sniffed and actually started to drool a little.
"Hurry up and try it, it tastes amazing while it's hot."
Ye Feng cut off some of the rabbit meat with a knife.
"Mmm, this is really delicious. It's the best rabbit I've ever had. Feng, your culinary skills have greatly improved."
Qian Renxue quickly began to eat with big bites.
She had appeared somewhat ladylike till just a moment ago.
Now, that image was completely gone.
After all, there was no one else around.
She let herself go.
"Eat slowly, no one's competing with you. We still have another one here!"
Seeing the corners of Qian Renxue's mouth streaked with grease.
Ye Feng said with an annoyed expression.
After all, she was a crown prince back in the palace; how could she lose all semblance of her image once outside?
The moon was particularly round tonight.
The night was beautiful.
Just like some people's moods.
The next morning.
Tian Dou Royal Academy.
"Your highness Crown Prince, what brings you here!!"
Just upon entering the commission hall.
Three commissioners immediately got up to greet her.
"Brother Ye Feng, let me introduce you. This is Meng Shenji, the head commissioner of the Tian Dou Royal Academy, a Soul Douluo with the Martial Soul Dark Demon, a control-class level 86 eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo. This is Bai Baoshan, the deputy commissioner with the defensive Martial Soul Sky Star Furnace, level 85 eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo, and this is the third commissioner Zhi Lin, with the Martial Soul Sky Blue Vine, also a Soul Douluo."
Qian Renxue introduced them to Ye Feng at the moment.
They had only arranged accommodations and such the day before and had not met these three commissioners.
"Your highness Crown Prince, is this Ye Feng?"
Meng Shenji, upon hearing what Qian Renxue said, immediately turned his gaze towards the young man standing beside her.
He had been closely following the recent changes in the Dou Huang Battle Team all this time!
