Chapter 56: A Gift for Huo Wu
"Knock, knock."
Mu Ci gently knocked on Huo Wu's door.
Hearing the long-awaited voice, Huo Wu quickly opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Being pulled to sit in front of the bed, Mu Ci said to Huo Wu with a smile.
"No, I just packed it up."
Huo Wu looked at Mu Ci with an expectant look on her face and replied.
Mu Ci could tell what Huo Wu was thinking at a glance. With a flip of his hand, he took out the gift he had just refined from his storage soul guide.
A red, round pill with golden patterns on it.
Even without touching it, Huo Wu could still feel the fire-attributed energy coming from it, making the Fire Shadow essence in her body leap with joy.
"This is the Fiery Apricot Spirit Pill. I usually don't name my pills, but as a gift, I feel it's better to have a formal name."
"It's not very nice, don't mind it."
Mu Ci held the pill in his palm and looked at Huo Wu with some embarrassment.
However, Mu Ci did not hesitate for long and continued:
"This elixir was made by me using the Fiery Apricot Seed in the center of the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes. It can help soul masters significantly improve their cultivation talent and fire-attribute abilities."
Mu Ci took Huo Wu's hand, placed the pill in her palm, looked at her, and said:
"As long as you use this pill, you will have talents that are no less than those of an innate full soul power and extremely strong fire-attribute abilities."
"By then, you'll have taken a big step towards your dream of surpassing me."
After hearing Mu Ci's words, Huo Wu's eyes turned slightly red as she looked at the pill in her palm, and even her breathing became a little rapid. She lowered her head slightly and spoke in a low voice.
"But this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Huo Wu's grip on the pill tightened a little, and her voice trembled.
"I'm not following you for this."
Even though Huo Wu had never heard of pills that could help soul masters improve their innate soul power and enhance their Spirits, she knew how rare and important these things were.
Mu Ci looked at Huo Wu's expression, lifted her pretty face with his hands, and looked into her eyes.
"I know, this is the gift I want to give you."
"You've already decided to follow me, so how can I not show my appreciation?"
Mu Ci did not doubt Huo Wu's words; he could feel the change in her attitude.
At the beginning, Huo Wu might have followed him because she admired the strong and was curious about his strength and talent in creating secret techniques, so she developed a liking for him.
But as the contact time grew longer, when the good impression gradually turned into love, then everything that happened before was actually no longer important.
In Douluo Continent, you could doubt everything else, but you never had to question love.
Whether it was because of hatred or something else, once two people were together, all the prerequisites were no longer valid, and both parties could tolerate everything about their lover.
Hadn't they seen that for the sake of Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao could endure the evil deeds of the Holy Spirit Church for hundreds of years, turning from the black and white holy dragons into the supreme Priest of the Holy Spirit Church, protecting the evil?
Hadn't they seen what Gu Yuena did for… Never mind, let's not talk about the silver dragon fish. Poor Di Tian served all his life and gave everything for the soul beast clan, but ended up with that fate. It was hard to judge.
Huo Wu's pretty face slowly began to turn red and hot as she was held up by her lover. Her red lips moved slightly as she whispered, "So what is our relationship now?"
Looking at Huo Wu's increasingly beautiful face, Mu Ci's hands began to caress her elastic and smooth skin unconsciously.
"So what do you think our relationship is now?"
"I, I don't know."
Huo Wu looked at Mu Ci hesitantly and said.
Although the two had held hands and hugged each other, their relationship had never been confirmed.
Even though her grandfather had entrusted her to Mu Ci's care, their relationship was not truly confirmed.
"Huo Wu!"
Mu Ci suddenly released his hands that were holding Huo Wu's pretty face and sat up straight.
The sudden action left Huo Wu no time to react, and her face looked a little dazed.
"I like you, will you be my girlfriend?"
Huo Wu listened to Mu Ci's words in a daze. Every word was like thunder, striking her already soft heart.
Her already agitated mood was like a bucket of clear water poured into a raging fire, causing it to explode.
Huo Wu looked straight at the man in front of her who confessed his love to her and did not answer.
Instead, she expressed her answer directly through actions.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Mu Ci's neck and pressed her crystal pink lips against his.
Mu Ci felt Huo Wu's delicate body trembling in his arms and opened his arms to hold her, so that the two of them could feel each other's warmth.
He sniffed the fragrance from Huo Wu's hair, slowly closed his eyes, and began to respond to Huo Wu's movements in a childish way.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Mu Ci wrapped his arms around Huo Wu's slender waist, looking at her blushing face lying in his arms, and couldn't help but chuckle and ask:
"You haven't told me yet whether you are willing to be my girlfriend or not."
When Huo Wu heard the man ask this question, she knew he was joking with her. She stretched out her soft and weak hand and gently tapped Mu Ci's chest.
"What do you think?"
Seeing Huo Wu like this, Mu Ci stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "So, Huo Wu, my girlfriend, are you willing to accept the gift I prepared for you now?"
Huo Wu nodded, holding the pill in her jade hand and placing it on her chest, she said with some regret, "Even now, I can't bear to eat it."
"Be good and listen. After you eat it, you will have the talent to become a Peak Douluo or even a Peerless Douluo. Then we can be together for a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer."
Hearing Mu Ci's words, Huo Wu nodded obediently.
Compared to being able to be with her loved one for hundreds of years, these details were not important.
Huo Wu struggled to get up from Mu Ci's arms, and with a rosy face, she reached out and pushed Mu Ci towards the door.
"What's wrong? You pushed me outside right after we confirmed our relationship." Mu Ci didn't resist and took two steps outside following the force.
Hearing this, Huo Wu glared at Mu Ci angrily and said, "If it were just you and me here, I certainly wouldn't do this."
"Aren't there two sisters waiting for you outside?"
This answer made Mu Ci touch his nose awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed to face Huo Wu.
"Huo Wu, I…"
"Okay, if I cared about this, do you think I would follow you?"
After straightening her messy collar, Huo Wu looked at Mu Ci with her ruby-like eyes and said, "As long as you have me in your heart, that's all that matters."
Huo Wu's words touched Mu Ci's heart. How many women would be willing to share their lover with others? It was just a concession.
He once again embraced Huo Wu, kissed her jade-like forehead, and said, "I'll watch you take the pill before I go over."
Huo Wu obediently walked to the bed and sat cross-legged. She took a look at the pill and swallowed it directly.
Suddenly, powerful fire energy began to transform her body, and Huo Wu's exposed white skin began to show red-gold lines.
However, Mu Ci was not worried, because the Fiery Apricot Blossom could not be taken alone due to the fire poison.
However, after being deconstructed by Abundance, the elixir would only serve as nourishment for Huo Wu's progress, and there was absolutely no danger at all.
Seeing that Huo Wu had already begun, Mu Ci quietly left the room and walked towards where Shui Bing'er and the others were.
