Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 204: Acacia Heartbroken Red Acknowledges Its Master

Chapter 204 Acacia Heartbroken Red Acknowledges Its Master

"This is?" Song Ming took the Dragon Elephant Essence, sensing its extraordinary nature but unsure of the radish's purpose.

He wasn't polite at all.

Huo Yuhao saw Song Ming accept it without hesitation and even play with it in his hand. He smiled, not angry at all. Song Ming was straightforward; he wanted what he wanted and didn't engage in roundabout tactics. He was much better than those two-faced, scheming, and malicious fellows.

"You'll know after you eat it." Huo Yuhao didn't say much. He originally wanted to say it should help him reach level ninety, but he thought it was better not to be too certain.

After dealing with Song Ming, Huo Yuhao found Lin Xi and gave her the Crimson Blood Bodhi. Lin Xi's martial soul was a high-quality mutated martial soul, a type of fire spirit resembling a bird.

There weren't many records of the Crimson Blood Bodhi, only that it grew on the banks of Yangquan. The Tang Sect Treasure Record clearly stated that it possessed the wonderful ability to refine innate true fire, but no one knew what that innate true fire was.

Lin Xi returned to her room to integrate the medicinal herb, while Huo Yuhao continued to distribute gift packages, of course.

However, noticing that Ye Lingling was still cultivating, Huo Yuhao didn't disturb her and returned to his own room first.

Huo Yuhao's room was simple, with a basic desk, bed, and wardrobe set. There were no extra decorations or furnishings, nothing like his villa in Shrek City.

However, cultivators didn't care much about these things. What Huo Yuhao valued most was the tranquility of the back mountain, where no one would disturb him.

Although the room was simple, it was clean and tidy, with the quilt neatly folded, indicating that someone had cleaned it during his absence.

Lying on the bed, he smiled softly. The simple bamboo house gave Huo Yuhao a sense of home, something he had never felt in the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao fell into a deep sleep.

Next door, Ye Lingling sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly cultivating, but the little girl's smooth forehead was slightly furrowed, as if something was making her uncomfortable.

Exiting meditation, Ye Lingling gently opened her eyes and touched her chest. For some reason, Ye Lingling felt inexplicably uneasy today, as if something bad was about to happen, or someone close to her had encountered misfortune.

Perhaps this was a woman's sixth sense. Just as Ye Lingling was feeling uneasy, Huo Yuhao's gentle voice entered her ears.

"Lingling, come to my room."

Ye Lingling instantly recognized the owner of the voice. The ominous feeling in her heart vanished, and she quickly came to Huo Yuhao's room and pushed the door open.

"Big brother!" After not seeing him for many days, the little girl missed him dearly and rushed into Huo Yuhao's arms.

"Little girl, I missed you so much. Let me give you a stamp." Huo Yuhao was also happy to see Ye Lingling. He cupped the little girl's delicate face in his hands and kissed her, not on the lips, of course.

Ye Lingling didn't resist, but her fair little face turned red with shame. Huo Yuhao was even happier to see this. Pure girls were easily embarrassed.

After the usual teasing, Huo Yuhao started to talk business.

Ye Lingling saw a large flower suddenly appear in Huo Yuhao's hand, a white flower shaped like a peony, without any grass or leaves, with a dark black stone connected to the roots, and a few shocking red streaks on the petals.

Seeing the curiosity in the little girl's eyes, Huo Yuhao explained, "This flower is called Acacia Heartbroken Red. It belongs to the immortal rank. There's a story about it, but it's too cliché and uninformative."

"The flower is extraordinary and serves its master. The requirements for Acacia Heartbroken Red to acknowledge its master are extremely strict. When picking it, one must think of their beloved with sincerity and devotion. Any hesitation or wavering will prevent you from picking it."

Ye Lingling listened in a daze, but when she saw Huo Yuhao hand over the Acacia Heartbroken Red, she asked uncertainly, "Is this, for me?"

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, "Of course. Give it a try. If you can get it to acknowledge you, your martial soul might even evolve."

"What, evolve my martial soul?" Ye Lingling exclaimed. Only after hearing that this thing could evolve her martial soul did Ye Lingling realize how precious the immortal herb was. So, she retracted her outstretched hand.

"Big brother, this thing is so magical. You should use it. I'm just a support-type soul master. I'm just a burden wherever I go."

For some reason, Huo Yuhao felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, feeling sorry for this overly sensible little girl. Stroking her soft hair and looking into her watery eyes, Huo Yuhao said seriously, "Lingling, I don't allow you to say that about yourself. You and Master are the most important people to me. And what's wrong with being a support-type? Support-types can also be soul engineers. Their combat power is not weak. Also, I have more than just this immortal herb. But you can't eat too much of this stuff. This one is for you to choose. Just absorb it."

Ye Lingling's eyes were moist. She was really lucky. In fact, she knew that Huo Yuhao was willing to take her in mostly because of her Nine Heart Sea棠, but afterwards, Huo Yuhao didn't treat her as a tool, but took care of her carefully. Towards outsiders, he was cold and ruthless, decisive in killing, and often had a heart of stone, and the disciples of the Body Sect respected and feared him, but he would always show a gentle side to her.

Not long ago, when Huo Yuhao introduced her to others, he actually said that she was his childhood sweetheart. At that time, Ye Lingling didn't feel any disgust, only shyness and joy from the bottom of her heart.

Without further hesitation, Ye Lingling took the Acacia Heartbroken Red, "Big brother, what should I do?"

"Drip a drop of blood on the petals."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling nodded lightly, then bit the tip of her right index finger, and a drop of bright red blood fell on the petals. She closed her eyes slightly, and the past seemed like yesterday.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, because of the slave hunting group, the two initially met. Knowing nothing about this world, she could only pretend to have amnesia, and for the first time, she acted cute and coquettish, and then deliberately showed her martial soul. Only then did that boy take her in.

The scene changed. In Shrek City, Ye Lingling confessed her identity as a transmigrator. At that time, she was uneasy. No matter what, she had deceived Huo Yuhao. She was worried that Huo Yuhao would call people to torture her in order to get more information from her.

It was a gamble. If she gambled correctly, Huo Yuhao would be the person she trusted the most. From then on, she didn't have to be careful all the time, worrying that she would accidentally slip up and arouse Huo Yuhao's suspicion.

If she gambled wrong, then needless to say, the ending would naturally be miserable.

But Huo Yuhao only showed concern, and even told her not to make a fuss at the time.

Scenes flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. Gradually, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the little girl's mouth. At this moment, she was extremely satisfied and felt lucky.

At this time, the Acacia Heartbroken Red fell from the black stone and slowly floated in front of Ye Lingling. The whole process didn't drag on at all.

"Big brother, I succeeded." Ye Lingling looked at Huo Yuhao, her big eyes showing a love that had never been seen before. At this moment, she clearly understood that her feelings for her big brother were more than just attachment, more than just gratitude.

With one hand around the little girl, Huo Yuhao smelled the fragrance of the girl's body and felt a rare peace of mind. The little girl's body was soft, making Huo Yuhao love her.

To be honest, Huo Yuhao only took out the Acacia Heartbroken Red with a try-it-and-see attitude and didn't have much hope. After all, a nine-year-old girl, how could she understand what is love and what is love?

But Ye Lingling did it.

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, love doesn't necessarily have to be earth-shattering, like the men and women in those stories who have to go through thousands of hardships before they can achieve a positive result, making it like taking the scriptures from the west, and they have to go through eighty-one difficulties.

Huo Yuhao felt that this was fine, plain and simple, complete and warm.

The little girl only needs to grow up happily, and as for the wind and rain outside, he will resist it.

Letting go a little, looking at the little girl's rosy lips, Huo Yuhao gently kissed her.

Ye Lingling's small body trembled slightly, and after a while, she also responded awkwardly. She never knew how to refuse Huo Yuhao's demands.

For a long time, until the two of them couldn't breathe, they reluctantly separated. Looking at Ye Lingling who lowered her head, Huo Yuhao smiled even more. Ye Lingling belonged to the petite and childish type. Compared with her peers, Ye Lingling's facial features were more childish, and perhaps because of the support department, Ye Lingling had a gentle temperament.

The first feeling people get is that she is easy to bully, and she wouldn't dare to resist even if she was punched, and she would only secretly wipe her tears. This kind of weak temperament would also make people want to protect her.

"Big brother, what are you looking at?" Perhaps unable to bear Huo Yuhao's scorching gaze, Ye Lingling asked softly.

"Of course I'm looking at my Lingling. Well, she's so beautiful. I'm glad I abducted you back then." Huo Yuhao smiled, feeling like a bad uncle who bullied a little girl, but having said that, it felt pretty good.

"Okay, okay, Lingling, you should take the Acacia Heartbroken Red now. Well, just eat it directly." Too much is as bad as too little. The little girl's face is thin, and Huo Yuhao felt that teasing this girl might make her run away.

"Okay!"

Ye Lingling nodded obediently, and then she saw her taking small bites of the Acacia Heartbroken Red. The Acacia Heartbroken Red melted in her mouth, but it was colorless and tasteless, but Ye Lingling could feel a warmth gradually rising in her abdomen.

As time passed, the true medicinal effect of Acacia Heartbroken Red began to take effect. In Huo Yuhao's sight, Ye Lingling's body was wrapped in a faint red light. He could feel that Ye Lingling's soul power was rapidly increasing, level fourteen, level fifteen, level sixteen, until it stopped at level twenty. Of course, this was not because Acacia Heartbroken Red could only increase so much soul power, but mainly because it was limited by the lack of a second soul ring.
