Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 542 Heartbreaking Red of Longing, Hypnotizing Little Dance?
"So that's it."

Dai Chengfeng looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Actually, if you feel too bored in the forest... I can take you away from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, her eyes lighting up.

But soon, she shook her head, her voice low.

"No...it's too dangerous outside."

“A Title Douluo-level expert can see through my identity. If I go out, it will cause you a lot of trouble…”

Dai Chengfeng had expected this, and he said calmly, "Since I said I could take you out, I naturally have a way."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm.

An ordinary-looking plant, resembling a peony but without any leaves, with a palm-sized white flower, appeared.

Strangely, the flower's stem was connected to a large, jet-black stone.

If you look closely, you can also vaguely see a few striking red patches on that white flower, as red as blood.

"This is……"

Xiao Wu's gaze was instantly drawn to the flower, from which she sensed an indescribable and powerful spirituality.

"This flower is called 'Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red,' a divine treasure among celestial medicinal herbs."

Dai Chengfeng slowly explained, "It has a special characteristic: as long as you drip your most sincere love onto it, you can pluck it off."

"And once it recognizes a master, it will have the magical effect of concealing its aura."

"As long as it recognizes you and wears it on your body, even a Title Douluo would have no chance of seeing through your identity as a soul beast."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up again, filled with longing.

After all, this was practically a treasure tailor-made for her!

But soon, as if remembering something, she rolled her eyes at Dai Chengfeng, and said reproachfully:

"Are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

"Since this flower requires the truest and most sincere love to be picked and recognized, I... I don't even have someone I like, how could I possibly gain its approval?"

"Don't you have someone you like?"

Dai Chengfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what was going on.

Yes, because of his appearance and interference, Xiao Wu left Notting Academy early, and her relationship with Tang San, which should have happened, was cut short.

Right now, she's not yet romantically inclined and doesn't have anyone she likes.

Seeing Xiao Wu's reproachful yet disappointed expression, Dai Chengfeng quickly pondered.

Without the crucial key of "love," the Love-Sickness-Breaking Red cannot work.

Should they just give up like this? Dai Chengfeng was unwilling to accept it.

After all, if Xiao Wu were to sacrifice herself, it would be like buying one and getting three free, and all of them would be 100,000-year soul rings.

Suddenly, a bold, even somewhat unorthodox, idea flashed through Dai Chengfeng's mind.

He wasn't Tang San; his knowledge from the modern world told him that love, to some extent, is a strong emotional projection and psychological state.

So, is it possible to temporarily "simulate" this state through certain special means?
He hesitated for a moment, then looked directly at Xiao Wu, his tone becoming serious with a hint of probing:
"Xiao Wu, if... I mean if, there were a way to temporarily make you 'believe' you have a truly sincere love, thereby gaining the approval of the Heartbreak Red Acacia Blossom..."

Are you willing to give it a try?

Xiao Wu was stunned, blinking her big eyes, not understanding Dai Chengfeng's meaning for a moment:
"Temporarily...consider? What do you mean?" Dai Chengfeng organized his thoughts, trying to explain tactfully:
"You can think of it as a kind of... deep hypnosis or psychological suggestion."

"I will use a special mental technique to temporarily construct an emotional imprint of 'deeply loving someone' in your subconscious. This imprint will be very real and should be enough to deceive the Love-Sickness Red's perception."

"Once the immortal herb recognizes its master, its effects are permanent and it will protect you forever."

“But that kind of emotional imprint is, after all, like a rootless duckweed, and I can help you get rid of it.”

"if?"

Hypnosis? Psychological suggestion?

Xiao Wu was stunned by this unprecedented concept. She subconsciously took half a step back, her face showing vigilance and resistance.

"This...this is impossible! How can feelings be faked!"

Although Da Ming and Er Ming, who were standing to the side, did not quite understand the specific meaning of "hypnosis", they immediately understood Dai Chengfeng's intention when they heard words such as "temporarily constructing an emotional imprint" and "deceiving the fairy herb".

They immediately let out a low, warning roar, their massive bodies leaning slightly forward, radiating a strong sense of oppression.

Clearly, they are extremely dissatisfied with and wary of this proposal.

Tampering with Xiao Wu's consciousness and emotions? That's something they absolutely cannot accept!

Dai Chengfeng remained calm, shrugged, and explained, "I understand your concerns."

"But this is only a temporary expedient, aimed at gaining the approval of the Acacia Heartbreak Red so that Xiao Wu can leave the forest safely."

"This kind of mental suggestion is not a permanent control; in the end, it is just a 'false' memory and emotion, like a vivid dream."

"Once you wake up from the dream, the impact will naturally diminish until it disappears."

"Think about it, your mental strength can't possibly be powerful enough to permanently and completely alter another person's emotional perception, right?"

"That's too incredible. Even a god might not be able to do it, so there's no need to worry."

"Aside from the legendary gods, I don't believe anyone's spiritual power is strong enough to permanently and completely change a person's core nature and emotional affiliation."

After saying that, Dai Chengfeng looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether to try it or not is up to you."

"If you are unwilling, I will never force you."

Xiao Wu's wariness eased slightly, and she frowned, caught in a fierce internal struggle.

Da Ming and Er Ming also fell silent, their huge beast eyes flashing as they weighed the possibilities in Dai Chengfeng's words.

Indeed, if it's just a temporary and controllable influence, and the goal is to obtain the immortal herb that can perfectly conceal one's aura, thereby freeing Xiao Wu...

The temptation is just too great.

Moreover, Dai Chengfeng's words make sense; permanently altering someone's mind is no longer a matter of ordinary people, but rather a miracle.

Freely roam the human world, experience a vibrant and colorful life, no longer confined to the heart of the forest...

This was irresistible to the naturally lively Xiao Wu.

She raised her head, looked at Dai Chengfeng with his deep gaze, and then looked back at Da Ming and Er Ming, who were like guardian angels behind her, her eyes filled with struggle and hesitation.

Finally, she bit her lip, not making a decision immediately, but whispering:
"I...I need time to think about it."

"This is too...too incredible, I need to think about it carefully."

Dai Chengfeng nodded understandingly: "Of course, this is no small matter, and you should indeed consider it carefully."

“We’ll stay here for a few more days. You’ll have time to make a decision before my companion obtains his spirit ring.”
