Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 125 Shu Yan, "Fragrant and Soft"
After passing through the thick poisonous clouds, what appeared before Shu Yan and the others was a magnificent world that defied description.

The sky here is completely shrouded in colorful poisonous clouds, making the valley look as if it were illuminated by a rainbow. The various colors blend perfectly here, giving people a strange visual impact.

The mountain wall in the distance was covered with the colorful vines that had attacked Shu Yan before, almost covering the entire wall. The whole mountain wall looked like it was made of a gem that shimmered with seven colors, and it was very eye-catching when viewed from afar.

The valley is not very large, but it is home to a wide variety of plants. As you look around, the types and colors are almost countless.

The shimmering light condensed in mid-air, forming a hazy circle of light. Even without using spiritual power, one could see the extraordinary nature of these plants with the naked eye.

What's most breathtaking is that there's a lake nestled among these plants.

The lake is neatly divided in the middle, with one side being ice-white and shrouded in a faint white mist, which is an extremely cold mist no less than that of the coldest ice.

On the other side, the spring water was fiery red, and the light above it was slightly distorted. This was because the spring water itself possessed an incredibly rich and powerful fire attribute energy. If it weren't for the balance provided by the extremely cold Yin Spring, the high temperature from the blazing Yang Spring would have been enough to destroy the entire valley in an instant.

The concept of yin and yang in balance is perfectly demonstrated here.

"What a wonderful place! No wonder it's known as one of the three great treasure troves of the human world. Any plant here would be a treasure that many powerful people would fight over. But, to be honest, the environment here is too special. Just the dense, almost solidified, elemental energy of heaven and earth is something that ordinary people cannot absorb."

“If an ordinary Soul Master were directly exposed to this environment, he would die instantly within moments.”

Tianmeng clicked her tongue in amazement, while also reminding Shu Yan to be careful. The environment here was too special. Although Shu Yan had a strong physique, being directly exposed to this environment was not a good thing.

"Alright, Shu Yan, look at that big pink flower over there. I just sensed a slight mental fluctuation on that guy. You woke it up."

Xie Ji's voice came, but unlike Tian Meng who was observing the environment, her attention was drawn to several 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Therefore, she noticed the awakening of Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item immediately.

Shu Yan responded to Xie Ji, then slowly landed and walked towards the Fragrant Silk Fairy Pavilion located on the bank where the two springs met.

As the bane of all poisons, the Fragrant Silk Immortal is surrounded by no plants within a radius of ten feet. If one had to choose, it would occupy the central position in the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Coupled with its barren surroundings, it easily attracts attention.

As they drew nearer, a faint, delicate fragrance quietly entered Shu Yan's nostrils.

The fragrance wasn't strong, and it merged with Shu Yan's body the moment it entered. In an instant, Shu Yan's mind became clear, and his entire body and mind felt as if they had been cleansed, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort.

Suddenly, the large pink flower lit up, and a pink light shield quickly enveloped an area of ​​ten feet in radius.

Shu Yan didn't feel anything special. He smiled slightly, and his right hand suddenly transformed into a scorpion claw, unleashing a near-absolute zero temperature that instantly froze the pink light shield, causing cracks.

The fragrant and elegant fairy flower instantly curled up, its countless jewel-like petals vanishing, leaving only a small purple stamen peeking out from the very center. It then cried out in alarm, "Stop! Stop! Human, you have no sportsmanship! How could you be so rough with me from the start? My beautiful body was almost frozen to death..."

Shu Yan withdrew the low temperature from his hand, then chuckled softly:
"You're a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, how come you can't even withstand this low temperature? That's a bit too weak..."

"That's not a 100,000-year-old soul beast! If you really calculate it, it's only a little over 10,000 years old. It's just that its abilities have reached that level. Besides, the low temperature in your hand is really astonishing, almost the same as Ice Eye. And that beast is the least skilled at fighting. If it gets hit by you, it will probably be frozen into an ice sculpture on the spot..."

The petals of the fragrant Qiluo Fairy Tale opened and closed slightly, and the panic in her voice slowly disappeared, replaced by a gentle feeling.

Even though the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item maintained its original form, Shu Yan could still feel its gaze fixed on him. It was a gaze that was both curious and passionate. Shu Yan could understand the curiosity, since the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item hadn't seen a human for at least several thousand years. But as for that passionate emotion, Shu Yan was genuinely curious.

"To be honest, I haven't seen a human in a very, very long time... Human, you can call me Youyou. Please keep me company and talk to me. I'm really bored. If you make me happy, I'll give you something in return."

As it spoke, the enormous body of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item tilted its head slightly, as if a human were turning their head to examine someone.

"Oh? What if I'm going to insist on getting some benefits?"

Shu Yan said with a half-smile.

The faint voice paused for a moment before speaking softly:
"Keep your voice down, okay? It's a good thing you ran into them. If it were Ah Jiao or the others, you'd be in trouble standing here alive after saying that..."

"They only reminded you because you're special. If it were any other human, they wouldn't have hesitated to beg them..."

"Special? What special method?"

Shu Yan caught the key point in Youyou's words and then asked with some curiosity.

The delicate, beautiful petals trembled slightly, then the entire body turned around, as if to confirm that no other immortal herbs had awakened. Only after confirming that everything was in order did it speak very seriously:
"Because you smell so sweet and soft, it makes me want to stick to you... No, no, it's because you possess a life force that can drive all plant-type spirit beasts mad. This life force is so pure. If they could follow you, or rather, keep you by their side, I think it would be extremely beneficial to their cultivation..."

Without realizing it, Youyou almost blurted out her deepest thoughts. Although she couldn't remedy the situation in time, Shuyan still roughly figured out the reason.

Before Shu Yan could even ponder what was going on, the ethereal voice of the Spirit of Life resounded in his sea of ​​consciousness:
"..."
