"Luo Chuan, what you said isn't quite right."
Listening to Tang Luochuan's words, Gu Yue gently shook her head, her calm face already rippling with emotion.
"The Icefire Yin-Yang Well was originally a blessed land created from the remains and energy of the deceased Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. We're merely reclaiming what rightfully belongs to us."
"That's right, that's right!"
Hearing this, Na'er nodded in agreement. The Icefire Yin-Yang Well—Brother Luo Chuan taking it was only fitting!
"Hahaha."
"Fair enough."
Tang Luochuan was momentarily taken aback by these words, but then he chuckled in response. Perhaps he had been a bit too narrow-minded.
For him, it might not yet be appropriate to openly claim these things as his own, as he only possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and wasn't yet a true Dragon King.
But Gu Yue and Na'er were the genuine Silver Dragon King. For them to say such things was entirely natural and unproblematic.
"Gu Yue, Na'er."
"Come with me to Dragon Valley for a while."
As he spoke, Tang Luochuan reached out, taking Gu Yue's hand in one of his and pulling Na'er into his embrace with the other, smiling warmly.
A flash of light later, the three figures vanished, reappearing in Dragon Valley—right where the Icefire Yin-Yang Well was located.
"Nineteen-year-old Qiluo Tulip, a plant-type soul beast of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, along with the other soul beasts..."
"Pays respects to our master!"
The moment Tang Luochuan appeared by the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, the Qiluo Tulip hurried over, speaking with utmost reverence.
Her demeanor made one thing abundantly clear: the wise submit to circumstances. They had long been dissatisfied with the Tang Sect, and now that things had come to this, it aligned perfectly with their wishes. Moreover...
Dragon Valley had far too many powerful beings—so many that even these so-called soul beasts were as insignificant as specks of dust here. Performing well would only earn them greater protection.
"Mmm..."
"From now on, the Icefire Yin-Yang Well shall remain here."
Tang Luochuan gave a light hum of acknowledgment, his gaze resting on the few soul beasts before him—so out of place amidst the Dragon Souls—with a faint smile on his face.
The Dragon Souls were undoubtedly excellent, and with time, they might even return to their former glory. But in the end, they were the remnants of deceased dragons, not living beings.
Now, his small world had gained a new spark of vitality. It was truly wonderful.
"Thank you, Master!"
"From this day forth, all sentient Immortal Herbs of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well shall follow your lead without question!"
The Qiluo Tulip couldn't contain her delight as she spoke respectfully.
"Gu Yue, Na'er, is there anything you'd like?"
Tang Luochuan asked with a smile. Gu Yue immediately shook her head indifferently, while Na'er responded with an adorable grin.
"Brother Luo Chuan, I..."
"I've already chosen the best Immortal Herb."
Na'er blinked, her face bright with joy as she looked toward Tang Luochuan and spoke softly.
"Oh?"
"You mean..."
Tang Luochuan knew exactly what she was referring to—the answer came to him instantly.
"Hehe, I'd heard long ago about a special Immortal Herb—the Lovesick Heartbreak Red I obtained earlier from the Icefire Yin-Yang Well..."
"This is all I need."
A faint blush colored Na'er's cheeks as she spoke. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red, stored within her Soul Guidance Device, materialized in her hand.
"Na'er..."
Beside them, Gu Yue seemed lost in thought as she glanced toward Na'er's direction. How could she not understand what the other girl meant? This Na'er...
She really couldn't hold back at all!
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red..."
"My Lord, please don't let Miss Na'er absorb this one just yet!"
At that moment, Qiluo Tulip suddenly spoke up urgently, catching everyone by surprise.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Both Tang Luochuan and Na'er were taken aback, their faces showing confusion. It was then that Qiluo Tulip slowly explained.
"That particular Lovesick Heartbreak Red isn't old enough. Its effects would be weaker if consumed by Miss Na'er. There's another one that's a hundred thousand years old..."
"Gua Gua, go fetch it quickly!"
Qiluo Tulip hurriedly patted the dazed yellow-skirted woman beside her—Earth Dragon Golden Melon—urging her into action.
Now that they were staying in Dragon Valley, she understood perfectly well the importance of currying favor with their Lord. Besides, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red wasn't that crucial among Immortal Herbs.
"Ah! Right away!"
Earth Dragon Golden Melon responded and swiftly departed, returning moments later with a new Lovesick Heartbreak Red cradled in her hands. Compared to the previous one, its quality was undoubtedly several times superior.
"For you..."
"Please!"
Earth Dragon Golden Melon presented the herb to Na'er with utmost reverence.
"Thank you..."
"Brother Luo Chuan, I'm going to pick this now."
Na'er accepted the Immortal Herb with delight, her face adorned with a sweet, adorable smile as she spoke softly.
Lovesick Heartbreak Red!
Finally, she could attempt to activate it!
"I believe..."
"I can definitely restore you to your original form."
Na'er gently held the flower still attached to its stone base, her expression tender as she whispered.
In the next moment, she quietly let a drop of blood fall from her lips onto the flower.
Her gaze remained fixed on the blossom before her as her memories involuntarily drifted back to the past. For a fleeting moment, it felt as though everything had returned to that summer long ago.
That day had changed her life forever—a day she still found herself reminiscing about even now.
"My name is Tang Luochuan. And yours?"
"Na'er."
"Would you like to come home with me?"
"I would."
Recalling those scenes, Na'er's smile grew even brighter, her heart filled with unwavering determination.
No matter how outstanding Brother Luo Chuan became or how many girls were drawn to him, in her eyes, he had never changed.
Whether then or now, she was willing—even if it meant sharing Brother Luo Chuan's side with Gu Yue or others, it didn't bother her in the slightest.
Because she would always hold a special place in his heart, just as he was the only one who had ever truly entered hers.
He would forever remain her dearest Brother Luo Chuan...
"If one day..."
"Brother were to face misfortune, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, please let me protect him just as he protected me that day."
Na'er murmured these words. As she reminisced, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hands had, unnoticed, shed its pale hue, transforming into a radiant crimson blossom.
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red had verified her feelings, simultaneously revealing just how significant this person before her was in her heart.
"Brother..."
"I've picked it!"
Na'er quickly snapped back to reality, her face breaking into a sweet smile as she giggled.
She had obtained it—this Immortal Herb symbolizing true love now belonged to her!
"Brother."
"Look, isn't it beautiful?"
"Na'er..."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan smiled tenderly, pulling her into his embrace as he nodded in agreement. "Beautiful, very beautiful."
"Luo Chuan Gege..."
"This is my heart's desire."
Nestled in Tang Luochuan's arms, Na'er spoke with a hint of nervousness before raising her head slightly, biting her lip, and then gently pressing a kiss to his cheek, whispering softly.
"I've always known."
Tang Luochuan responded with a smile, gazing at her shy, inexperienced kiss before leaning in to press his lips against hers.
"Mmm—"
Na'er froze, her already flushed face burning even brighter with embarrassment, yet she clumsily reciprocated, her heart filled with unfamiliar emotions.
A kiss with Luo Chuan Gege...
At that moment, Gu Yue, standing nearby, also paused, her gaze lingering on Na'er as a touch of emotion flickered in her eyes.
Na'er's feelings...
were just as sincere and unwavering.
"That big fool..."
"He even took Na'er's first kiss."
Gu Yue shot a glance at the young man whose attention was fixed on Na'er, quietly huffing to herself as she couldn't help but think.
Since Na'er was so bold...
Maybe when there were fewer girls around that big idiot, she would be a little more proactive too!
