After a brief moment of stunned silence, the emotions in Xu Zihuang's eyes returned to calm.
Because of his special background and experiences, something like love at first sight could never happen to him. Xu Sanshi's kind of love that was humble to the bone was also destined to have no connection with him.
In matters of romance between men and women, he had always lacked initiative. Whether it was Ning Tian at the very beginning, or Ye Guyi and Ju Zi later on.
But it could be confirmed that after experiencing so many things together with Wang Qiu'er, Xu Zihuang felt some touch in his heart.
Wang Qiu'er had already gained his recognition, or rather, had entered his heart. However, he was not as pure as Wang Qiu'er, so naturally, the emotional impact was definitely not as strong for him.
At this moment, toward Wang Qiu'er, who did not hide her feelings at all, he probably harbored a bit of affection and an instinctive possessiveness.
Xu Zihuang, who had steadied himself, let the Yearning Heartbroken Red separate from his palm again, floating in mid-air and pulsating. At the same time, he placed both hands on Wang Qiu'er's waist and began to respond actively.
The concept he had developed since childhood was just like this: for people and things he liked, he must strive with all his might, with absolutely no need to escape.
Xu Zihuang had never harbored any prejudice against soul beasts; everything he did was purely due to the natural opposition between human soul masters and soul beasts. At the very beginning, he did not want to have too much entanglement with Wang Qiu'er, mostly because he was wary of Tang San's schemes.
But ever since he had contact with the Divine Realm and had the support of gods behind him, he no longer had such concerns.
Feeling Xu Zihuang's actions, Wang Qiu'er's peerlessly beautiful face instantly bloomed like a hundred flowers, radiant and captivating. A surge of indescribable heat erupted from deep within both of their eyes, and afterward, Wang Qiu'er completely lost herself in it.
After a long while, the overlapping figures of the two separated.
Xu Zihuang stood in place with gentle eyes, while Wang Qiu'er's gaze was somewhat dazed but still stared persistently straight at Xu Zihuang. She, who dared to love and dare to hate, had such a personality. Once she decided on something, she would pursue it regardless of everything.
In this regard, she was even more persistent than Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang looked at Wang Qiu'er and said softly.
"You should know about my situation. In the future, I may also have entanglements with other women. If you are sure you don't mind this and still insist on your decision, then go to Shrek City."
"Mm." Wang Qiu'er, her face flushed like cherry blossoms, pursed her lips tightly and nodded.
In the worldview of soul beasts, the strong should possess everything. For Wang Qiu'er, this was not something difficult to accept. As the noble Three-Eyed Golden Lion Emperor's Auspicious Beast, her possessiveness was indeed very strong, but Xu Zihuang had never shown her too much emotion or closeness before, so from the beginning, she actually hadn't held much hope.
And now, the progress between her and Xu Zihuang far exceeded her expectations. Amid the surprise, all other matters became less important.
However, the way the two were talking gave off a strong sense of a scumbag coaxing an innocent young girl.
Through the shared memories, both Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er clearly understood each other's thoughts, with no need for excessive words.
Xu Zihuang smiled helplessly as he carefully placed the Yearning Heartbroken Red into a jade box and stored it in his Starlight Sapphire Storage Ring.
With the development of soul guidance technology, storage soul guidance devices could now store living things like plants. As long as they were sealed in something like a jade box, the medicinal efficacy would not be lost.
At that moment, Wang Qiu'er took the initiative to hold Xu Zihuang's hand. A slight blush appeared on her pretty face, paired with her somewhat cold and domineering expression, giving off the feeling of pretending to be arrogant, while her body was very honest.
"The things they did with you, I want them too."
Speaking of this, her mind could not help but recall some of the private behaviors between Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, and Ning Tian. Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter. Earlier, when she shared memories with Xu Zihuang, it was equivalent to watching everything from beginning to end.
"Of course, those can be done, but the current situation is special. I don't want Ning Tian to know about what happened between us for now. Do you understand what I mean? As for Sister Ling Yi, as long as you're willing, the three of us can have an open and honest conversation anytime. Of course, Sister Ling Yi is absolutely trustworthy."
Xu Zihuang smiled faintly, then proactively held Wang Qiu'er's jade hand in return, interlocking their ten fingers.
Wang Qiu'er pouted and let out a cold hum.
"No need. This is between us; what does it have to do with them?"
A person's character is not so easy to change, let alone Wang Qiu'er, who had only entered the human world for a year. Although she didn't say it outright, deep down, she was determined to test whether she could be better than Ye Guyi and Ning Tian in Xu Zihuang's heart.
Whatever Ye Guyi and Ning Tian could do, she could do just as well.
Moreover, from Xu Zihuang's memories, Wang Qiu'er saw that when Xu Zihuang was with Ye Guyi behind Ning Tian's back, there seemed to be an inexplicable sense of pleasure. At her current stage, she couldn't fully understand it yet, but she secretly noted it down, preparing to experiment.
As for Ju Zi, she wasn't even considered an opponent in her plans. After all, Ju Zi wasn't by Xu Zihuang's side, far less threatening than Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.
Wang Qiu'er's intentions saved Xu Zihuang a lot of effort, so he didn't say anything more. He simply held Wang Qiu'er's hand and turned to face the group of plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"All of you, after watching for so long, don't you have anything to say?"
The plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well all trembled slightly and lowered their heads. The Aromatic Silk Beauty was especially frightened, shivering uncontrollably.
No matter how they thought about it, they never imagined things would develop this way. The two people they feared the most not only knew each other but had even gotten together.
What kind of human surprise was this?!
Under the terrified gazes of the plant-type soul beasts, Xu Zihuang gave a mocking smile, then led Wang Qiu'er straight toward the location of his goal for this trip.
The immortal herbs he targeted this time totaled three: the Earth Dragon Golden Melon with cultivation close to one hundred thousand years, the Strange Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum with an age of around fifty thousand years, and the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon possessed the ability of Earth Dragon Overturn and was itself an earth-attribute immortal herb, making its compatibility with Elder Xuan's Gluttonous Divine Ox martial soul unquestionable. The Strange Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum could allow the consumer to cultivate an indestructible vajra body, perfectly suited for the poison-immune body martial soul.
The final Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid was an attribute-less immortal herb with the effect of replenishing qi and blood and strengthening foundations, most suitable for the ancient one.
With Wang Qiu'er's deterrence added, these plant-type soul beasts didn't dare resist at all. Even though these three immortal herbs had long developed intelligence, they could only watch helplessly as Xu Zihuang took away their main bodies, not daring to resist.
Xu Zihuang left them with their roots and stems, which instead became an enormous mercy.
After storing these three immortal herbs, Xu Zihuang glanced sideways at Wang Qiu'er, who had silently followed beside him.
"Your cultivation after transforming into human form should have reached the Soul Saint realm, right? You can also pick a few immortal herbs suitable for you to raise your soul power cultivation."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding plant-type soul beasts shrank even more tightly, as if terrified of being targeted by Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er.
"My cultivation is different from ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts that transform back into human form. In the later stages, there are no bottlenecks, and the cultivation speed becomes faster and faster; there's no need for external assistance." Wang Qiu'er shook her head proudly.
As she spoke, her ear tips turned slightly red as she wrapped her arms around one of Xu Zihuang's arms.
"Take me away from here."
A strange light flowed in Wang Qiu'er's pink-blue beautiful eyes—this was another novel attempt.
Xu Zihuang was slightly stunned, but he quickly saw through Wang Qiu'er's little thoughts and understood her intention. He scooped her up by the waist.
"Let's go."
With those words, Xu Zihuang rose into the air while holding Wang Qiu'er. Wang Qiu'er instinctively placed her hands on Xu Zihuang's shoulders, surprise and sweet emotions intertwining in her heart.
This was perhaps what love between humans was like.
