I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 172 Lovesickness and Heartbreak
"What is this? A tonic?" Zhu Zhuqing asked puzzledly as she looked at the herbs in front of her.

Lu Feng said seriously: "This herb is called Acacia Heartbroken Red, and it is the best among the immortal herbs. Eating this herb will have a comprehensive transformation on the body. I conservatively estimate that it can at least increase the soul power of the soul master stage by ten levels."

"Tenth level soul power!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed.

Then, her eyes flickered and she asked in confusion, "Your soul power has improved by leaps and bounds, is this what you rely on? Don't you often say that you have been walking on thin ice all your life?"

"Ahem." Lu Feng coughed lightly and said seriously, "In order to find this thing, I have done everything I could, even risking my life. Isn't this the result of my hard work?"

Zhu Zhuqing rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.

"Then what should I do now?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Lu Feng said solemnly: "Flowers are extraordinary, they choose their masters and serve them. When picking them, I spit out a mouthful of blood and sprinkle it on the petals, thinking in my heart..."

There was a light "puff" sound, and before Lu Feng could finish his words, he saw Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and a mouthful of blood spurted onto the petals.

The Acacia Heartbroken Red didn't even shake as it quietly left the Wu Jue Stone and fell down, landing in a slender jade hand.

"Is that all?" Zhu Zhuqing raised the flower in her hand and shook it.

"Well, theoretically speaking, it should be." Lu Feng said with a little surprise.

He blinked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked curiously, "Zhuqing, were you thinking about anything when you were picking the flowers just now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned red. Just now, for some reason, Lu Feng's smile suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Hmph, I won't tell you." Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away, not daring to look at Lu Feng again.

Lu Feng smiled slightly and gently touched her head. "This flower is solitary and pure, and does not need to be used with any auxiliary medicine. You only need to pick the petals and eat them, and then immediately start practicing on the spot to dissolve the medicinal power and break the bottleneck."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and stroked the petals with her fingertips. "I can feel its emotions. It seems to be cheering for me. If there were no competition from the royal family, I would really like to keep it by my side forever."

She picked a petal and put it into her mouth.

A strange scene appeared. The moment the petals touched her lips, they immediately turned into juice and melted into her mouth.

As the petals turned into juice and flowed into her body, a faint golden-red light began to appear around her body.

Zhu Zhuqing's body was madly absorbing the soul power in the air like a whale.

"call!"

There was actually a breeze in the closed room.

As time passed, the golden-red light in Zhu Zhuqing's body became brighter and brighter, and huge breath of life continued to emerge from her body.

At the same time, her momentum was growing visibly.

Level thirty-nine.

Level 40.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the room.

"Ah, cut."

Lu Feng rubbed his nose and sneezed. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhu Zhuqing squatting beside him, teasing his eyelashes with her hair.

Lu Feng stood up and asked in confusion: "Hey, why did I fall asleep? Zhu Qing, you didn't do anything bad to me, did you?"

Zhu Zhuqing glared at him unhappily, "Humph, who cares about you?"

"Hehe." Lu Feng chuckled, "Zhu Qing, how do you feel now? How much has your soul power increased?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes released a flame of excitement, "It's amazing, I actually broke through to level 40 directly. If I absorb the fourth soul ring, I think my soul power can increase dramatically."

"Yeah." Lu Feng nodded.

He was about to say something when he saw Zhu Zhuqing suddenly pounce on him.

"Baji." Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around Lu Feng's neck, leaned forward, and gave him a heavy kiss on the cheek.

"Lu Feng, thank you so much." Her voice trembled slightly, and she choked with sobs that she couldn't suppress.

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently buried her head in Lu Feng's solid chest, her shoulders slightly shaking, and she sobbed softly. Zhu Zhuqing had been in depression for a long time. In the dead of night, she often woke up from nightmares.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what her ending would be, so she could only numb herself through cultivation.

But even if she practiced day and night, the gap in talent and age was like a chasm that she could hardly cross.

And now, she finally saw the light.

Lu Feng raised his lips with a gentle smile, "Zhu Qing, isn't it too 'stingy' to send me off with such a thank-you gift?"

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin with his index finger.

In an instant, a delicate face with tears in its eyes came into view. The skin was as delicate as jade, and tears were streaking down the cheeks, adding a touch of charming charm.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes, her heartbeat suddenly quickened. There were still traces of tears in her eyes, but as they looked at each other, a special shyness welled up in her.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the two people's breathing sounds intertwined.

Lu Feng's eyes slowly moved down and landed on Zhu Zhuqing's slightly trembling lips. He lowered his head involuntarily and moved closer and closer. The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, so close that they could feel each other's warm breath.

Just when their lips were about to touch, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, a little nervous, but also seemed to be expecting something.

Lu Feng's lips gently covered hers, at first just a light touch like a dragonfly touching the water, and then gradually deepening.

"Um"

Sunset in the forest, on the edge of a cliff.

There were claw marks on the ground, and the soil had been violently overturned. On the mountain wall, three two-foot-deep marks were shocking.

A white wolf more than five meters long fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the wound on its abdomen, staining the ground red.

Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the side, his soul power flowing, pulling the soul ring to absorb.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and said excitedly: "Lu Feng, I succeeded. Your theory is correct. The soul skills of the Howling Moon Wolf can actually have a superposition effect."

Lu Feng nodded and said calmly: "Good luck, what is the effect of your soul skill?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed at this time, and she was obviously still immersed in the joy of her own soul skills.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "My fourth soul skill is a self-amplification skill. After using it, it can increase my attack, defense, speed, and mental strength by 50% and last for at least one hour."

"Moreover, I can use the fourth soul skill twice at the same time without any side effects." Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly.

Lu Feng's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this. The effect of Zhu Zhuqing's soul skill was much stronger than that of the dog-headed soul master.

The battle with the ogre was Lu Feng's most difficult battle.

The dog-headed soul master's fourth soul skill superimposed and used it left a deep impression on Lu Feng. In the Tiandou Royal Library, Lu Feng searched a lot of information and finally came to a conclusion.

The dog-headed man’s fourth soul ring should have come from the Howling Moon Wolf.

"Not bad." Lu Feng gently touched Zhu Zhuqing's head, "The characteristics of your fourth soul skill are considered a trump card, so you can't expose it easily."

"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily, her face showing excitement. "My soul power has now reached level 45! That herb is worthy of the name of fairy herb."

Then, Zhu Zhuqing frowned and said, "Lu Feng, how should I explain to everyone when I go back? How about I just say that I absorbed a soul bone?"

If she only had level 41 soul power, Zhu Zhuqing could still make excuses, but she herself would not have believed that her soul power had increased by seven levels overnight if she had not experienced it herself.

At the same time, it also highlights the preciousness of the fairy grass.

Zhu Zhuqing was not willing to expose such a treasure, as that would simply be asking for trouble.

Lu Feng chuckled, with a sly smile on his face, "Zhu Qing, you don't have to hide the name of the fairy grass. Just say that your subordinates found it."

"Oh, what bad idea are you planning again?" Zhu Zhuqing asked puzzledly.

Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Feng have been together for such a long time, and she knows Lu Feng's personality very well. Whenever he shows this expression, it means that he is planning to harm someone.
