Chapter 97 - Inviting Du Gu Bo to Join

"Second Spirit Skill: Nether Hundred Claws!"

Under the combined assault of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhou Sidong, the millennium Lightning Leopard finally collapsed, lifeless. A purple millennium spirit ring appeared before them.

"Sidong, thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold, faint smile.

This leopard was even faster than Zhu Zhuqing herself; without Zhou Sidong's assistance, killing it would have been far more difficult.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Sidong smiled lightly and looked at the floating spirit ring. "Before you absorb this, I'll give you something first."

Zhu Zhuqing's curious gaze followed as Zhou Sidong produced an object—a flower glowing with a vibrant red light, rooted mysteriously in a crack in the stone.

"This is…"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed that this flower was extraordinary.

"There are countless treasures in the world, but this flower is worth half of them all. Its name is the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness, the finest among flowers, rightly called the King of Flowers. However, it's very special. To pick it, one must use their own blood as an offering, maintain complete focus, and…"

Zhou Sidong leaned close and whispered in Zhu Zhuqing's ear.

"What? I have to think of the one I love most?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly, surprised, staring at the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness in his hands.

In her life, if nothing had changed, Dai Mubai would have been her final destiny.

Yet the appearance of a young man completely altered that path.

Recalling Dai Mubai's indiscretions, the disgusting acts of Ma Hongjun and others, and the confrontations at the academy, all of it remained vivid in her mind.

She left the cannibalistic Shrek Academy to grow stronger, aiming to defeat Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and others, to tell them directly: you all are $%

In truth, Zhu Zhuqing had not slept all night, thinking of Zhou Sidong—how he managed to truly break off her engagement with the Xingluo royal family and her own clan.

For Zhu Zhuqing, this was a feat akin to climbing the heavens. She had thought her life would follow its destined path, but Zhou Sidong's arrival completely rewrote it.

Determined, she bit her tongue, letting her blood drip onto the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness.

As her blood touched the petals, the flower quivered slightly.

The petals shivered, almost lifting from the stone several times.

During the pause, Zhu Zhuqing's mind wandered, recalling the encounter with Zhou Sidong's family in the Star Fighting Forest and the moment she was defeated by the disguised "One Moon Dong" at the Soto Grand Arena. Most importantly, this jerk had stolen her first kiss!

Zhu Zhuqing could not tolerate this!

As a reserved girl, encountering Zhou Sidong, who broke all rules, made her feel she could never part from him.

The next second, to Zhou Sidong's astonishment, the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness floated gracefully into Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing and the flower established their first connection.

"No way… I just wanted to try, and it worked on the first attempt?"

Zhou Sidong's eyelids twitched. He had not expected Zhu Zhuqing to win the flower's recognition so easily.

In the original timeline, she had failed the first attempt.

Now, with Zhou Sidong on Douluo Continent, the Heartbreaking Red had changed its allegiance.

"Zhuqing, you succeeded."

Zhou Sidong observed the flower, seemingly accepting the fact.

"I… really succeeded?"

Looking at the vibrant red flower in her hand, Zhu Zhuqing felt it was surreal.

A kilometer away, many spirit beasts gathered, and Guimei stood before them. Nine spirit rings glowed at his feet, ready for battle.

Without Guimei's deterrence, Zhou Sidong and Zhu Zhuqing would soon have been overwhelmed.

The beasts' eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at the distant scene.

The Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness had triggered a frenzy among the millennium and ten-thousand-year spirit beasts of the Sunset Forest.

"How many secrets does the young master hold? A simple red flower can drive all these beasts into chaos?"

Recalling the Elixir of Longing Zhou Sidong had given him, Guimei now realized the extraordinary nature of the flower.

Several spirit beasts had already fallen at his feet. He could only pray Zhu Zhuqing would swallow the flower soon; otherwise, he wouldn't survive much longer.

"Zhuqing, swallow the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness quickly."

Receiving the mental transmission of Guimei's concern, Zhou Sidong knew the urgency.

"I… alright."

Seeing Zhou Sidong's pleading eyes, Zhu Zhuqing initially wanted to keep the flower, but danger loomed. Vast numbers of spirit beasts had begun to assemble far away, and countless eyes were watching her.

Biting her teeth, Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth and swallowed the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness.

Red light surged across her body.

Once the flower was consumed, Zhou Sidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, the beasts surrounding the forest dispersed instantly.

"Zhuqing, tell me—what were you thinking as the flower recognized you?"

Zhou Sidong was curious. A flower of this caliber would not easily accept a master.

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes and then sat cross-legged. "Who else but you? Dai Mubai?"

Pleased with the answer, Zhou Sidong nodded.

With the engagement between Zhu Zhuqing's family and the Xingluo royal family annulled, she and Dai Mubai were finally severed.

"Absorb this as well."

Zhou Sidong took out an object from his Soul Guidance Ring and tossed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

"A soul bone?!"

Zhu Zhuqing instinctively caught it—a soul bone radiating emerald light.

"You…"

Speechless, she stared at the floating bone, already accustomed to Zhou Sidong producing such extraordinary items.

"Absorb it quickly. With the spirit ring, the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness, and the soul bone, your spirit power will likely reach Level 40. There's still time; a spirit beast awaits our hunt."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. She slowly stood, blushing, and lightly kissed Zhou Sidong.

He smiled, sharing the warmth in the quiet forest.

After a while, Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged again, absorbing the millennium spirit ring, the ten-thousand-year soul bone, and the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness.

A strong wave of spirit power radiated outward.

Zhou Sidong had a feeling Zhu Zhuqing would indeed reach Level 40.

From day to night, then to the sunrise the next day, her spirit power surged.

Her right leg absorbed the Blue Silver King's bone; the Heartbreaking Red of Lovesickness' effects were fully assimilated, and the millennium spirit ring stabilized.

"My spirit power… Level 40."

Zhu Zhuqing stared in disbelief. In one day, her spirit power had surged ten levels!

The Blue Silver King's right leg bone granted her a skill: Vitality.

In suitable conditions, if the user's spirit power was overdrawn, it could absorb surrounding energy and convert it into spirit power.

"Sidong, how old is this soul bone?"

Zhu Zhuqing marveled; its value likely exceeded ten thousand years.

"This is from the right leg of an 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King. My uncle and I just recently killed it," Zhou Sidong said.

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless.

A soul bone from an 85,000-year-old spirit beast—now hers, freely given. This was… favoritism.

"You… don't need it?" she asked.

"I have a 100,000-year-old one." Zhou Sidong replied casually.

Zhu Zhuqing: "…."

She quietly accepted it.

"The weather's perfect for spirit ring acquisition today. But first, I want to take you somewhere."

After a simple breakfast, Zhou Sidong led her deeper into the Sunset Forest.

"Old Poison Master! Are you here?"

They arrived at the Ice-Fire Two-Poles Eye. Zhou Sidong guided Zhu Zhuqing expertly, avoiding external poison traps.

The Du Gu Bo of this parallel world was alive; Zhou Sidong didn't intend to trouble him.

He brought Zhu Zhuqing here to use the power of the Ice-Fire Two-Poles Eye.

Recently, Zhou Sidong had obtained a second batch of rare herbs: the Fiery Apricot Orchid and Octagonal Black Ice Grass.

Now that Zhu Zhuqing was fully connected to him, he naturally gave these to his "wife."

"You've been gone over a month; I thought you were dead," Du Gu Bo appeared, hands behind his back.

"Couldn't you say something nice?" Zhou Sidong smiled.

"I don't like flattery," Du Gu Bo waved, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "And this is…"

"You know!" Zhou Sidong raised an eyebrow.

"Good!"

Du Gu Bo gave a thumbs-up.

Men understand these things.

"This time you're here, you must have a second condition in mind?"

Du Gu Bo remembered the remaining two conditions.

He loved his independence, disliked owing anyone.

Zhou Sidong approached and whispered, "If you meet someone named Frande and a self-proclaimed master, teach them a lesson—don't kill, but do as you see fit if you want to maim."

"Consider it done." Du Gu Bo agreed without hesitation.

"Old Poison Master, wait outside. I'm here to use your hot spring."

Du Gu Bo nodded and left.

This hot spring had both blazing heat and freezing cold—so dangerous that even Du Gu Bo rarely entered. Only Zhou Sidong could traverse it freely.

After he left, Zhou Sidong produced two more rare herbs: Fiery Apricot Orchid and Octagonal Black Ice Grass.

Both had water-fire immunity and poison resistance.

"I… can't take them," Zhu Zhuqing said, refusing.

She had already received much from Zhou Sidong: the 85,000-year soul bone and the King of Flowers.

But Zhou Sidong insisted, and eventually, Zhu Zhuqing consumed both herbs.

"Only by entering the hot spring can these herbs fully transform you," Zhou Sidong said, pointing.

"You… can you leave? I need to… undress."

Blushing, she prepared herself, gently ensuring privacy.

Outside, Zhou Sidong witnessed Guimei and Du Gu Bo battling. Du Gu Bo was losing; his 30-meter-long Bi-Phosphor Serpent was being handled ruthlessly.

One was Level 91, the other 97—a gap large enough to crush a Level 91 Du Gu Bo in a regular Douluo scenario.

Zhou Sidong hurried out, signaling Guimei to release Du Gu Bo, who then stepped aside.

"Old Poison Master, are you alright?"

Zhou Sidong helped the wounded Du Gu Bo.

"The old man… your spirit power… it's terrifying. Has it surpassed Level 95?" Du Gu Bo muttered.

Correctly, it was Level 97.

"Everyone's advancing, why are you stuck?" Du Gu Bo scolded.

"I want to, but my own poisons…"

Du Gu Bo's internal toxins had accumulated, limiting his progress for years, threatening his life.

Now, Zhou Sidong handed him the remaining halves of the Fiery Apricot Orchid and Octagonal Black Ice Grass.

"Consume these. Your toxins will be fully neutralized."

Du Gu Bo was shocked but obeyed, feeling the warmth and cold cleanse his body.

"Old Poison Master, once your toxins are gone, I hope you'll join my faction." Zhou Sidong smiled.

"Faction? You have a faction?"

Weighing the benefits, Du Gu Bo agreed for the moment.
