After the true bodies of the six Great Beasts disappeared into Tang Wulin's body, all of their human forms began to turn transparent.
”My Lord, our seeds are all contained in our true bodies, and prior to fusing with your friends as soul spirits, we'll leave our seeds in the seed of nature so all of us can grow alongside the seed of nature when you decide to plant it. As such, you won't need to do anything else. Do you and your friends still need any other spirit items?”
Tang Wulin turned back toward his friends, all of whom had excitement s.h.i.+mmering within their eyes, and Yue Zhengyu said, ”I don't need anything else. It's already a brilliant opportunity for me to be able to attain one of the seniors as my future soul spirit. A man needs to learn to be satisfied with what they have. Otherwise, they'll be punished by the heavens.”
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Tang Wulin smiled, and said, ”They're right. It's just as you said earlier Senior; a wise man would never kill the hen that lays golden eggs for him. Plants can enjoy an accelerated rate of growth here in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, but they still require time to grow. We can't ask for too much as we have to leave some resources for our successors.”
They had already taken the most precious Great Beasts here, so they really couldn't take anything else. If they were still dissatisfied with what they're received, then they really were going to be punished by the heavens.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip's smile widened even further, but after a brief moment of contemplation, he said, ”My Lord, I'd still like to suggest that you consider one of the other spirit items here. If you can obtain its approval. then it's very likely that it could save your life in the future or give you an additional life.”
”Oh?”
Tang Wulin appraised the Beautiful Silk Tulip with a surprised expression. It was undoubtedly the case that after this Beautiful Silk Tulip had been chosen as his soul spirit, it was solely committed to doing everything for his benefit.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip made his way over to another direction, and all of the plants parted to reveal a huge inky-black rock. This rock was very eye-catching among all of the surrounding spirit items. There was a flower growing on the rock, and it was predominantly pristine white in color with a patch of red on its surface. It was beautiful in a tragic way, and it completely drew the attention of the onlooker.
”What's this?” Tang Wulin asked?
”This is the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower. It's already reached over 100,000 years of age, but it'll never become a soul beast as it's eternally trapped within its own spiritual world.”
A surprised look appeared in Tang Wulin's face. ”Lovesick Heartbreak Flower? Is this the same Lovesick Heartbreak Flower that Tang San used to revive his wife, Soft Boned Douluo Xiao Wu? I've heard that it's the most romantic flower in the world of plants.”
The Beautiful Silk Tulip nodded in response. ”That's right.”
Tang Wulin had only read about this type of immortal flower from the historical records surrounding Tang San, but he didn't think that it could be found here in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
It was said that this immortal flower could essentially bring one back from the dead, but it could only be picked by someone with the utmost dedication to love. Only the most faithful of lovers could obtain the approval of this flower.
Tang Wulin asked, ”How do I pick it?”
The Beautiful Silk Tulip replied, ”You have to think of the person that you love the most, then expel a mouthful of blood that's closest to your heart onto it. If it detaches of its own accord, then you've obtained its approval, but if it doesn't, then you won't be able to pick it no matter how hard you try. If you have someone you love, then it's a good idea to give this a try, my Lord.”
Tang Wulin reflexively turned toward Gu Yuena, who was still meditating in the distance, and a burst of gentle emotions welled up in his heart.
Everything that they had experienced together instantly flashed before his eyes.
When they had first met, she had only displayed benevolence and friendliness toward him. She was clearly far more talented than he was, but she constantly stayed by his side and was willing to allow him to outs.h.i.+ne her. Their relations.h.i.+p gradually blossomed, and she became more and more important in his heart.
All of a sudden, her att.i.tude toward him began to change. She seemed to be trying to drive him away, but he knew that everything that she was doing had only been done to protect her.
In the end, his confession on the Sea G.o.d's Lake finally shattered her facade, and they sealed their happily ever after.
However, the happily ever after proved to be an extremely short-lived one as she left the very next day, but she also left him one of her silver dragon scales.
He loved her with every particle of his being, and she also loved him just as much.
When he was on the brink of death in the face of that ninth-grade soul missile, she'd appeared before him out of thin air and s.h.i.+elded him from that lethal explosion.
A lot of the time, love didn't need to be articulated. Instead, it could be perfectly conveyed through actions.
