Zhu Zhuqing cut her left middle finger, letting the fresh blood drip.
No light, no flicker.
The Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red fell neatly onto Zhu Zhuqing's delicate jade hand.
The once ordinary flower bloomed, radiating a golden-red halo, stunningly beautiful.
And…[Emotion Points +152020]
[Emotion Points +99595]
[Emotion Points +44444]
Everyone present was completely overwhelmed!Those who had failed before, even worse—utterly embarrassed.
Look how decisive she is!
As for Zhuge Lan, he hadn't expected this.
Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for him had already reached such depth?No process at all, and the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red was already convinced?
Truly…
Zhu Zhuqing smiled contentedly, shaking the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red toward Zhuge Lan.
Her eyes full of anticipation.
"I see it," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "Go absorb it, I'll protect you."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a smile, walking off lightly.
No trace of cold demeanor remained—she was just a lively little kitten.
[Emotion Points +52020]
[Emotion Points +52020]
Watching Zhu Zhuqing swallow the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red and start absorbing its medicinal power,
Zhuge Lan activated a shielding aura to block the light.
Only then did he return his gaze to the others, who were still feeling down.
Why so listless?Let me liven up the atmosphere!
"The Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red has its rightful owner. Next, we'll move on to the next herb."
Everyone ↓
(ω)))Next herb?There's still a chance to get the fairy herb?
Everyone perked up, looking at Zhuge Lan expectantly.
[Emotion Points +11111]
[Emotion Points +11111]
Was Zhuge Lan really kind enough to distribute the fairy herbs?Of course…The carrot for the donkey!
Zhuge Lan picked up the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Ma Hongjun instinctively stepped forward half a pace.
This was the fairy herb most suitable for him!
Who else but him?
The others thought the same, so no one stepped forward to compete.
Zhuge Lan glanced at Tang San.
Tang San, thinking he had a chance, instinctively stepped forward half a pace.
Alongside Ma Hongjun.
This caused Ma Hongjun to glare angrily!
—What are you doing?!
Tang San came to his senses and returned the look without holding back.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was indeed most suited to this fatty, but as a vital tonic, even others consuming it would greatly boost their soul power!
Moreover…
Because of the conflict with the Sunflower Manual,
besides Ma Hongjun, only Tang San could later continue using it, digest it with Xuantian Skill, and then revert back to the Sunflower Manual.
—Isn't this fate?'This must be Zhuge Lan, and it's because of me!'
'Hah!'
'Compensation for stealing Xiao Wu?'
'Far from enough!'
[Emotion Points +44444]
Zhuge Lan: "."
He hasn't done anything yet, and you're already courting death?Then don't blame me for being ruthless.
He leisurely said, "The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower does suit the fatty quite well."
[Emotion Points +11111]
Ma Hongjun, full of anticipation: "Lan Ge, hurry and give it to me!"
[Emotion Points +44444]
Tang San frowned. "You're playing with fire!"
Zhuge Lan shifted the topic: "But matching doesn't mean I'll just hand out such a precious fairy herb casually."
[Emotion Points +99999]
Ma Hongjun's face full of question marks: "If you don't give it, what am I supposed to do?"
Tang San nodded happily—now that's more like it.
"But it's not impossible to negotiate."
[Emotion Points +99999]
[Emotion Points +44444]
Ma Hongjun and Tang San realized what Zhuge Lan was doing again.He was toying with them, bouncing back and forth.But now the initiative wasn't theirs—they could only endure.
Zhuge Lan teased a few more times, seeing no further increase in emotion points.
Then he finally announced—
"Boring, not playing anymore."
"The fairy herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower—you want it? Trade me something valuable for it."
[Emotion Points +55555]
Ma Hongjun's face instantly fell.
Something valuable?Where does he even have that?
Tang San hesitated.
He did have something valuable:Xuantian Treasure Record!
Xuantian Skill, Ghost Shadow Trick, maybe not enough.
But Hidden Weapons, definitely not in Zhuge Lan's family.
Soul Guidance Devices, though miraculous, required high entry levels.
Most didn't have a "milk bottle function" and needed soul force from the Soul Master themselves.
Unlike hidden weapons, which used mechanisms and could be armed by ordinary people.
Exchange for a single fairy herb?No!At least two, right?
But…Xuantian Treasure Record was Tang San's lifeblood!Give it away just like that?
He felt heartbroken!
[Emotion Points +44444]
[Emotion Points +44444]
Seeing Tang San still hesitant,
Zhuge Lan didn't rush.
First, let's generate some emotion points.
"Lan Ge!" Ma Hongjun suddenly spoke, "The only thing I can offer is these 200 pounds of meat on me."
"I am willing to join your family, Lan Ge. Please give me a chance!"
Yo!Ma Hongjun still had guts!
Tang San, still hesitating, felt anxious upon hearing this!
"Wait! I can give—"
Zhuge Lan raised his hand to stop him—hold on for now.
[Emotion Points +44444]
Tang San gritted his teeth.
Do you even know what you're missing?
Ma Hongjun thought there was hope.
But…Zhuge Lan calmly said, "Our family does not accept just anyone."
Ma Hongjun's hopeful expression stiffened![Emotion Points +55555]
"But you are classmates, so I can give you a chance."
Ma Hongjun: "."
[Emotion Points +66666]
This familiar back-and-forth made him want to complain—can't it be straightforward?
But since he needed something, he dared not speak.
He could only watch Zhuge Lan toy with others repeatedly, frustrating them.
Finally, Zhuge Lan revealed the main point—
"I'll give you three conditions. If you can meet them, I'll let you join my family and give you the fairy herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
Ma Hongjun nodded eagerly.
"Don't say three, even thirty would be no problem!"
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
Seems you still don't understand my cruelty!
—If the conditions don't drive him crazy, how else can I keep generating emotion points?
"The first condition is simple: lose weight."
Ma Hongjun's puffed-out chest froze!
Huh?His three great loves in life: food, beautiful women, and laziness.
He had already given up women.
Now he had to give up food and train diligently?
Slap—
Fland struck a big blow, making Ma Hongjun stagger.
At the same time, it woke him up.
He grimaced, replying, "No problem!"
"Don't rush."
Zhuge Lan smiled:
"The second condition: reach Title Douluo."
"If you can cultivate yourself to Title Douluo, then consume the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to complete your Martial Soul. Level 99 peerless Douluo won't be a problem."
"Work hard, godhood is not impossible."
The carrot after the stick—Peerless Douluo! Godhood!
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun was thrilled, forgetting the prerequisite—he had to cultivate himself to Title Douluo.
How many years would that take?
Plus, he'd have to maintain his physique after losing weight.
Normally, Ma Hongjun would be Zhuge Lan's emotion point ATM for 40 years.
But…That's still not enough!There's one crucial point missing!
One that would make Ma Hongjun think of it every day and have massive emotional swings!
That was…Zhuge Lan grinned, making Ma Hongjun shiver!
—Doomed! The finishing move is here!
