After learning from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong finally figured out the trick and happily ate her baguette.
Bai Qinchen held Xiao Wu in his left arm and Zhu Zhuqing in his right, watching Ning Rongrong eat happily, feeling extremely content.
His small goal has finally been achieved; Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong are now all his women.
"You spoil Rongrong, but I want to eat too!" Xiao Wu said sweetly, pouting her little mouth.
"This is her first time, you should be considerate of her," Bai Qinchen said softly, affectionately pinching Xiao Wu's nose.
"Hmph, you're so annoying!" Xiao Wu said coquettishly, punching Bai Qinchen's chest with her little fist, and then nestled obediently into Bai Qinchen's arms.
Bai Qinchen held Xiao Wu's small pink fist, kissed it, and his eyes were full of warmth and love.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qinchen took out a flower. The flower was white, about the size of a palm, and resembled a peony. It had no leaves, and its stem was connected to a large, black stone.
On that white flower were several striking red patches, so vividly red as blood that they gave one a somewhat breathtaking feeling.
"Xiao Wu, this is for you!" Bai Qinchen handed the bright red rose to Xiao Wu.
"Wow~ So beautiful~~ Thank you, Qinchen!" Xiaowu happily accepted the bright red rose, took a deep breath, and smiled sweetly.
"I'm glad Xiao Wu likes it." Bai Qinchen smiled gently, lowered his head and kissed Xiao Wu's forehead, then said, "This flower is called Acacia Heartbreak Red, a divine treasure among immortal herbs."
"It also has a legendary story, a long time ago..."
Listening quietly to Bai Qinchen's words, both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were somewhat mesmerized. Even Ning Rongrong, who was eating a baguette, was captivated and unable to contain herself.
Bai Qinchen solemnly said, "This flower is no ordinary plant; it chooses its master carefully. When picking it, you must think of your beloved, be sincere and devoted, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you are even slightly distracted, even if you spit blood and die, you will never be able to pick the flower. Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its master. The stone beneath the flower is named Wujue. If you forcibly destroy it, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power. Consuming this herb grants immortality, comparable to heaven and earth. I conservatively estimate that it can increase your soul power by at least ten levels and also comprehensively transform your body."
"Pfft!" As soon as Bai Qinchen finished speaking, Xiao Wu quickly spat a mouthful of blood onto the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Then, Xiao Wu stretched out her slender hand and took the Acacia Heartbreak Red off the Black Stone.
Bai Qinchen was stunned; he hadn't expected Xiao Wu to be so fast.
"It seems that Xiao Wu, you really only have Qin Chen in your heart!" Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and teased.
"Of course! He's the only one in my heart, how could there be anyone else?" Xiao Wu proudly raised her head and said firmly.
Bai Qinchen looked at Xiao Wu's arrogant expression and a smile appeared on his lips.
In the original novel, only Xiao Wu picked the Acacia Heartbreak Red, but in the original novel, Xiao Wu was thinking of Tang San, which is enough to prove Xiao Wu's feelings for Tang San.
But now, Xiao Wu has plucked the Love-Sickness Red in front of him, which means that Xiao Wu has also been completely taken away by him.
"Qinchen, I want flowers too!" Zhu Zhuqing said, pleading with Bai Qinchen after seeing that Xiaowu had received the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.
"Yes, of course!" Bai Qinchen pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, gently kissed her smooth forehead, and then took out a flower.
This flower is white and exquisite, as if sculpted from ice and snow, and exudes a faint fragrance.
"This flower is called Narcissus Jade Bone, which nourishes tendons and bones, and promotes the flow of Qi through the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels. It will be of great use to you," Bai Qinchen said, handing the Narcissus Jade Bone to Zhu Zhuqing.
"No! I want the Love-Sickness Red too!" Zhu Zhuqing pouted and protested.
Bai Qinchen looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a wry smile, "This is also a divine herb. Eating it will not only increase your soul power, but also strengthen your body."
"But I want the Love-Sickness Red even more!" Zhu Zhuqing pouted and said coquettishly.
The Love-Sickness Red has a poignant love story, and its harvest is difficult to obtain. Xiao Wu has already proven her love for Bai Qinchen, and she wants to prove it as well.
"Me too! Me too!" Ning Rongrong, who was eating a baguette, eagerly raised her little hand and said.
"Rongrong, if you eat this Qiluo Tulip, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," Bai Qinchen said, handing the Qiluo Tulip to Ning Rongrong.
This is a very strange herb. Its roots and leaves are covered with vines, densely and meticulously combed, but at the top is a golden tulip. The rich tulip scent gives people a magnificent feeling.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She had come to find Bai Qinchen this time in order to find a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
After doing all this with Bai Qinchen, she initially thought he was lying, but it turned out to be true.
"I don't want it either, I want the Acacia Heartbreak Red!" Ning Rongrong looked at Bai Qinchen expectantly.
"Uh..." Bai Qinchen was embarrassed. He had exchanged the immortal herbs according to the original story, choosing the ones most suitable for them. He had already used up all his points, so he didn't have any more points to exchange for immortal herbs.
Seeing Bai Qinchen hesitate, Ning Rongrong immediately pouted in grievance, her round eyes instantly becoming misty, as if tears were about to flow.
"Um, um, I really don't have any flowers right now. How about this, I'll give you both one later," Bai Qinchen hurriedly coaxed, his heart almost melting at Ning Rongrong's pitiful appearance.
"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong asked in unison, their bright eyes looking at Bai Qinchen with anticipation.
Bai Qinchen nodded.
"Okay, I believe you." Ning Rongrong suppressed her aggrieved expression and smiled sweetly.
"I want another flower too!" Xiao Wu became anxious when she saw that Bai Qinchen had promised Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong that he would also give them the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. She pouted and acted coquettishly.
"They'll have two flowers by then, and I'll only have one," Xiao Wu pouted, looking resentful.
"Alright, alright! I'll give you each one a flower in a while," Bai Qinchen said, affectionately ruffling Xiao Wu's hair.
"Yay!" Ning Rongrong and the other two girls excitedly hugged Bai Qinchen and kissed him several times.
"Hahaha!" Bai Qinchen laughed heartily, embracing the three women and enjoying the happiness.
"However, if you want a second flower, you'll have to show some sincerity~" Bai Qinchen stared at the three women with a smile, his eyes full of ambiguous laughter.
"What kind of sincerity do you want?" Xiao Wu asked Bai Qinchen seductively.
"Hehe..." Bai Qinchen chuckled wickedly, leaned close to the three women's ears, and whispered a few words.
"You scoundrel!"
The three women playfully patted Bai Qinchen's chest.
Chapter 82 Aunt Meng is Poisoned
The spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will no longer hold court early in the morning!
This is every man's ultimate dream.
Although Bai Qinchen has only been in this world for less than a year, he has already fulfilled the dream that countless men have longed for.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, the three female protagonists of Douluo Continent, all fell for him. He indulged in nightly revelry, living a carefree and joyful life.
Before you knew it, another month had passed. During this time, Bai Qinchen had been enjoying himself immensely, wandering among the women.
Whether it was Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, or Xiao Wu, none of them wanted to leave Bai Qinchen's side for even a moment, and they clung to him every day.
Of course, Bai Qinchen didn't forget Liu Erlong and the others either; he wasn't the kind of man who would forget his old love once he found a new one.
Today was the day to go and collect the benefits from Meng Linglong.
Ning Rongrong and the other two women originally wanted to go with him, but Bai Qinchen persuaded them for a long time before they gave up and let Bai Qinchen go to Meng Linglong's place alone.
Bai Qinchen had been to Meng Linglong's place several times before, so he was quite familiar with it.
"Aunt Meng, I'm here!" Bai Qinchen exclaimed excitedly upon arriving at Meng Linglong's residence.
In the past, when he arrived, Meng Linglong would always greet him warmly.
Today, Bai Qinchen called out for a long time but received no response, which made him frown.
"Aunt Meng?" Bai Qinchen asked, puzzled, as Meng Linglong still did not reply. He pushed open the door.
"Aunt Meng!" Upon entering the room, Bai Qinchen saw Meng Linglong lying listlessly on the bed, her face extremely pale.
"Aunt Meng, what's wrong?" Bai Qinchen hurriedly went to the bedside and helped Meng Linglong sit up.
"Cough cough..." Meng Linglong coughed lightly, and a spurt of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Meng Linglong opened her beautiful eyes, looking at Bai Qinchen somewhat weakly, "Boy... why... are you here today?"
"I came to see you. How did you get so badly injured?" Bai Qinchen nervously grasped Meng Linglong's hand, probing it with his soul power.
"You've been poisoned?" Bai Qinchen frowned, his expression turning serious. "Who did it?"
“Hehe…” Meng Linglong smiled faintly and said, “It’s alright, I just need to rest for a few days to completely eliminate the toxins from my body.”
"How could you be unharmed after such severe poisoning?!" Bai Qinchen's face flushed with anger. "Who dared to harm you?!"
Meng Linglong is a titled Douluo, and ordinary poisons are no match for her. However, Meng Linglong is having great difficulty even standing up, which means that her internal organs have been eroded by some powerful poison.
"Dugu Bo?!" Bai Qinchen reacted instantly. Besides Dugu Bo's poison, who else in this world could be so powerful!
"Hmph!" Meng Linglong snorted coldly and said, "Although Dugu Bo's poison is powerful, it is still no match for me."
"That old ghost, I don't know where he got a treasure from, it's extremely strange to use, and it even contains a deadly poison." A cold glint flashed in Meng Linglong's eyes.
"The Soul-Chasing and Life-Taking Darts of Mother and Child?" Bai Qinchen frowned slightly.
"That seems to be the name." Meng Linglong nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Qinchen with a puzzled expression and asked, "How did you know?"
“One of our students was researching this, but he was taken away by Dugu Bo a while ago,” Bai Qinchen explained, then asked, “What about your poison?”
"I already said, I just need to rest for a few days, you don't need to worry." Meng Linglong smiled gently, but because of her pale face, she looked even more frail.
"Mm." Bai Qinchen nodded.
"Too bad for you. You came here today to ask for perks, right? It seems I can't give you any perks in this state," Meng Linglong teased.
"That's not necessarily true. You usually don't allow me to touch you, Aunt Meng. But now that you're poisoned, I can do whatever I want, right?" Bai Qinchen smiled slyly and gently traced Meng Linglong's cheek with his index finger.
"Aren't you afraid I'll get back to you once I'm healed?" Meng Linglong rolled her eyes at Bai Qinchen and said irritably.
"Aunt Meng, do you know how?"
"Of course!"
"I do not believe!"
"Since you don't believe me, why don't you take action?" Meng Linglong said with a half-smile.
"Of course I want to wait until Aunt Meng is cured of the poison before I make a move!" As he spoke, Bai Qinchen took out an antidote that he had just redeemed from the system.
"This is the antidote. Aunt Meng, if you take it, the poison in your body will be completely eliminated..."
Before Bai Qinchen could finish speaking, Meng Linglong swallowed the antidote from his hand.
"Aunt Meng, aren't you afraid that this is also poison?" Bai Qinchen was puzzled when he saw Meng Linglong take the antidote without hesitation.
"You poisoned me? I'm afraid the only things you could have done were aphrodisiacs, right?" Meng Linglong rolled her eyes and laughed, "And in my current state, why would you need to poison me?"
"It seems Aunt Meng sees right through me." Bai Qinchen chuckled awkwardly.
"Which part of your body haven't I seen? Which part haven't I touched? Do you think I can't see through you?" Although Meng Linglong was still a little haggard, her charm was undiminished.
"Hehe!" Bai Qinchen chuckled, scratching his head, then asked, "Aunt Meng's poison was cured so quickly? You're even teasing me now."
"Not yet, it'll be a while." Meng Linglong shook her head, then wrapped her arms around Bai Qinchen's neck and brought her alluring red lips to his. "You little rascal, carry Aunt Meng to the bathtub."
"Alright!" Bai Qinchen chuckled and picked up Meng Linglong, carrying her to the bathtub.
"Aunt Meng, are you going to take a bath?" Bai Qinchen asked, wondering if he should sneak a peek later.
“After taking your detoxification pill, all the poison in your body will be eliminated in a while. At that time, your body will be full of filth, so you will naturally need to soak in the bathtub,” Meng Linglong explained.
"Shall I go out then?" Bai Qinchen asked cautiously.
"Aren't you going to help Aunt Meng undress?" Meng Linglong looked at Bai Qinchen with a smile. "You little rascal, don't think Aunt Meng doesn't know. You want to peek later, don't you!"
"Uh... Aunt Meng is wise and powerful!" Bai Qinchen laughed awkwardly.
"Stop being so cheeky, hurry up and help Aunt Meng take off her clothes." Meng Linglong said coquettishly, "Since you're going to peek anyway, I might as well let you look openly."
"Yes, ma'am!" Bai Qinchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly removed Meng Linglong's clothes, revealing her snow-white, smooth, and curvaceous body.
Gazing at the alluring body so close to his face, Bai Qinchen swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Aunt Meng, you have such a great figure!"
He came to see Meng Linglong countless times, and every time he wanted to see her body, but he was always rejected and only given a little something in return.
Now that he has finally seen it, how could he not be excited?
"Aren't you coming in?" Meng Linglong glanced at Bai Qinchen and smiled.
Chapter 83 Playing is allowed, but you bear the consequences.
"Ah! May I come in?" Bai Qinchen thought that Meng Linglong was already surprised enough by letting him take off his clothes to see his body, but he didn't expect her to let him take a bath with him.
If it were any other woman, Bai Qinchen would have already made a move, but Meng Linglong is a Title Douluo, and he wouldn't dare to do anything without her permission.
“I’m already poisoned. If you want to come in, do you think I can stop you?” Meng Linglong smiled and said, “Whether you come in or not is up to you. As for the consequences, you’ll have to wait until the poison is gone to find out.”
After saying that, Meng Linglong closed her beautiful eyes and used the antidote to circulate her soul power to expel the poison.
Bai Qinchen looked at Meng Linglong bathing in the tub and suddenly felt his breathing become heavy and rapid.
"Damn it, I'll risk it all. Dying under the peony is still a romantic death. Aunt Meng has spoken, so I'm going all out." Bai Qinchen gritted his teeth, quickly took off his clothes, and entered the bathtub.
"Aunt Meng's skin is truly amazing, as tender as tofu, so delicate it could be broken with a touch." Bai Qinchen gazed at Meng Linglong's delicate skin with utter infatuation and fascination.
