Chương 86: Chapter 86: You Will Regret It!
"Oh, and—"
"Cough." Just as Dugu Bo was about to speak, he was interrupted by Su Cheng, "There are also some common herbs for treating Dugu Senior's illness."
Su Cheng didn't go into specifics about Dugu Bo's condition.
After all, he wasn't directly involved, so it wouldn't be appropriate to disclose it to others casually.
If he were to bluntly mention that the Poison Douluo didn't have much time left, regardless of how Qian Renxue would react, Dugu Bo would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Is that so?"
Qian Renxue felt that what he said was somewhat inaccurate, but for a moment, she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Glancing at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Su Cheng was holding, she shook her head and said, "I don't want this."
"Hmm?"
"I want The Yearning Heartbroken Red."
Su Cheng's heart trembled slightly, feeling hesitant once again.
He felt that Qian Renxue still had some unresolved issues at the moment.
Although their actions just now had been very intimate, there were still many things they were keeping from each other.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's current state wasn't quite right. The Yearning Heartbroken Red had a somewhat sinister effect, and aside from the uncertainty of whether it could be picked, even if it were used, it might not necessarily be a good thing. There might be negative consequences.
Unlike ordinary rare spiritual herbs, immortal herbs were different.
The medicinal properties of these herbs had been accumulated over time, and after countless years, they had completely diverged from their original nature.
Moreover, with their inherent spirituality, each immortal herb was unique, with its own characteristics.
Even among herbs of the same species, there were huge differences.
Su Cheng had always maintained a cautious attitude towards the use of such drugs.
Internally, he still leaned towards not using The Yearning Heartbroken Red.
But with Qian Renxue's firm attitude and his own guilt, he had no choice but to say, "Let's talk about it later."
"Do you want to give it to someone else?"
"?" Su Cheng was momentarily stunned, "Why do you say that?"
"Then give it to me now."
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Su Cheng looked at Dugu Bo, "Senior, could you please go again?"
Glancing at Qian Renxue again, he said solemnly, "I can give it to you, but even if you can pick it, you should not easily consume it. Your talent is already exceptional, and immortal herbs are just icing on the cake for you. If something goes wrong, it will be too late for regrets."
On the contrary, Dugu Bo hesitated a bit, feeling uneasy about leaving Su Cheng alone here.
Frowning, he looked at him, "Are you sure?"
Su Cheng glanced at the expressionless Qian Renxue and the seemingly invisible Porcupinefish Douluo.
He nodded and said, "I'm sure."
If Qian Renxue still insisted on taking him away at this point, then he would have to accept it.
After Dugu Bo left, having learned from Su Cheng the appearance and characteristics of The Yearning Heartbroken Red, the atmosphere became somewhat desolate.
Although there were quite a few unexpected events during this visit to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, he had achieved almost all of his goals.
He joined the Royal Academy of Heavenly Dou, obtained a ticket to participate in the Soul Master Grand Competition.
He found a support in the Upper Three Sects for himself. In the current situation where Bibi Dong was suppressed in strength by God's Examination and the Holy Spirit Cult was closed off, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, he already had basic security.
He even had a Titled Douluo as a bodyguard.
Dugu Bo lived a solitary life, but he and Su Cheng got along quite well. His only granddaughter attended the Royal Academy of Heavenly Dou, which would provide many conveniences for Su Cheng's future endeavors.
Most importantly, he had successfully pulled Qian Renxue out of the quagmire of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Moreover, the current Qian Renxue clearly retained memories from the simulated world.
While Su Cheng felt some concern about this, he was mostly delighted.
To him, the Qian Renxue from the simulated world was a very special existence.
She was the only person he had ever fully trusted and owed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to help the real-world Qian Renxue after leaving the simulation.
But that was only a unilateral compensation.
At that time, he viewed the Qian Renxue from the two worlds as completely different.
His subsequent actions, whether called compensation or seeking psychological comfort for his past actions, did not consider whether the real-world Qian Renxue would accept his so-called "kindness."
However, besides feeling comforted, Su Cheng now felt much perplexed.
If he couldn't figure out the connection between the simulated world and the real world, it would undoubtedly hinder his plans in the subsequent simulations.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue clearly didn't want to elaborate on what exactly had happened to her.
If memories were the bridge between the simulated world and the real world, then why was there no reaction from Bibi Dong, who was killed by him?
In theory, she should be the biggest victim.
Unlike Qian Renxue, her situation was not as simple as the shattering of a divine seat; it was true soul destruction.
Moreover, compared to Qian Renxue, who was restricted by the Heavenly Dou City, Bibi Dong obviously had more resources from the Spirit Hall and would be easier to find.
"The most likely unexpected factor is probably that strange split personality-like Xiao Xue."
Just thinking about that odd state of the black-clothed Qian Renxue gave Su Cheng a headache.
These mysteries could only be considered later when he tried to understand them from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Unbeknownst to Su Cheng, while he was quietly contemplating, on the other side, Qian Renxue's mind was also in turmoil. It was a battle between gods and demons, far from as calm as it appeared on the surface.
She didn't even notice the several signals Porcupinefish Douluo gave her not far away.
Seeing his young mistress lost in thought, The Porcupinefish Douluo shrugged off his concern.
"If the master doesn't care, why should I, as a subordinate, meddle?"
A golden light enveloped Qian Renxue's sea of consciousness, suppressing the tumultuous emotions within her.
At the same time, a dense black smoke lingered in her heart.
Like burning black flames, but without the fierce heat of flames, instead, it was exceptionally cold, sending shivers down one's spine.
Upon closer inspection, the smoke vaguely took on a humanoid shape, with a slender and alluring figure, exuding a seductive allure.
"...This isn't your true thought! What about your previous promises?"
"You're wrong, this is my thought."
"Ridiculous! Foolish!" A pair of black eyes appeared on the face of the smoky figure.
Then, the smoke condensed into a clear human form.
Qian Renxue, dressed in a black crown robe, stood amidst the blazing black flames, her face revealing a murderous intent.
"Abandoning a great opportunity for nothing, I shouldn't have let you come out. I must be out of my mind."
"I can't disappoint him."
"Foolish!" The black-clothed Qian Renxue's face darkened, but she was helpless.
Previously, she did consider sparing Su Cheng, but that was because Dugu Bo was present, and the consequences were too great to act.
Now that Dugu Bo was gone, it was the perfect opportunity.
However, it seemed that the intimate contact with Su Cheng just now gave the current dominant personality a sense of reliance.
At this moment, the other party's mental strength was exceptionally clear and powerful. With her current state, she was already struggling to shake it.
"What about Ning Rongrong, are you still keeping her?!"
"Ning Rongrong has nothing to do with the teacher, it's just Ning Fengzhi's wishful thinking."
"Naive! You will regret it!"
Not long after, Dugu Bo returned to the scene.
Due to his concern for Su Cheng, he had been running at full speed almost all the way and didn't take too long to return.
"What's the use of this flower?"
Handing over the Yearning Heartbroken Red, Dugu Bo asked.
As a Titled Douluo with the title "Poison," he was quite interested in herbs.
"Stabilize the foundation and nurture the essence," Su Cheng casually replied as he accepted the Yearning Heartbroken
Red.
Seeing Dugu Bo's slight reaction, he instantly understood his thoughts.
"Your granddaughter can't use this; she can't pick it."
Dugu Bo's expression soured at the words, "Don't underestimate me, kid. Even if she could use it, this thing would be yours."
Su Cheng was momentarily taken aback, then smiled apologetically, saying, "Sorry, I misspoke."
Approaching Qian Renxue with the King of Immortal Herbs, he saw her hesitate for a moment but still handed over the Yearning Heartbroken Red growing on the Blackstone.
"Remember what I told you, don't rush to take this immortal herb."
Qian Renxue stared at the familiar and beautiful flower in front of her, her thoughts swirling, feeling a bit distracted.
After a moment, she reached out and took it.
Seeing her put away the immortal herb, Su Cheng said solemnly, "Xiao Xue, after you return to the Spirit Hall this time, don't rush to accept the Angel God Inheritance."
Of course, theoretically, Qian Renxue wouldn't reach the rank of Soul Saint within a few years, so she couldn't activate the Angel God Examination.
But just in case, he wanted to remind her in advance.
It wasn't because Su Cheng coveted the secrets of the divine inheritance, but he genuinely felt that the Angel God Inheritance in this world was unreliable.
At least he wanted to study it thoroughly before considering it.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's current state was very strange; she might not pass the test even if she went to accept the Angel God Inheritance.
The hurdle of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires; with her current mental state, she might not be able to pass it.
"..." Qian Renxue nodded but didn't answer. Instead, she stared at him intently with her phoenix eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher, do you regret it?"
Su Cheng was stunned, falling into silence.
Time passed slowly.
"No."
Hearing his answer, Qian Renxue smiled but didn't continue.
Turning to The Porcupinefish Douluo, she regained some of her former majestic demeanor and whispered, "Uncle Ci, let's go."
Then, the two of them left.
"People make mistakes, but they shouldn't regret."
Watching their receding figures, Su Cheng touched his lips, muttered to himself with a somewhat absent-minded tone, "Because regret is useless."
"Hey, kid, they're long gone. What are you still staring at?" At this moment, Dugu Bo walked over from nearby, "Also, what about that little girl over there? Aren't you going to take care of her?"
He gestured towards the still unconscious Ning Rongrong.
Su Cheng finally snapped out of his thoughts.
