Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 313 The Amusing King, Dong'er

Upon entering Ji Lin's room, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao sat obediently on the sofa, while Wang Qiu'er stared at them silently, a cold glint occasionally flashing in her eyes.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down their spines and shivered involuntarily.

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er with a resentful expression, and the two exchanged glances.

"It's all your fault, Dong'er. I told you to go back first that night, but you insisted on staying. Now look what happened, I got beaten up by Qiu'er too."

Wang Dong'er's gaze darted around; it was indeed her inability to resist her curiosity that dragged Xiao Xiao into the mess.

"Good sister, forever. I'll treat you to dinner next time. Don't worry, Qiu'er's main target is me. Look how badly I'm hurt. You only got some minor injuries. I almost got stabbed by her with the Golden Dragon Spear."

Ji Lin looked at the two idiots who were now silent with amusement, took out two jade boxes from his storage soul tool and handed them to them, saying, "Take these, they are gifts for you two."

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er exchanged a glance and looked at Ji Lin with suspicion. They had been eavesdropping all night, and Ji Lin had even given them gifts. Could this be a trap?

Seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, Ji Lin was both amused and exasperated. He said irritably, "Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, you can give it back to me."

Upon hearing this, the two quickly accepted the jade box and hugged it to their arms, fearing that Ji Lin would want to take it back. Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, they accepted it first, thinking that a free gift was better than nothing.

Ji Lin shook his head and smiled, "Open it and take a look."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Wang Dong'er, who then winked at her, implying that Xiao Xiao should take the fall first to see if it was Ji Lin's prank or a real gift. Xiao Xiao puffed out her cheeks. Is this what best friends are like? It's better to sacrifice your friend than yourself, huh?

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er both looked at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao felt a deep sadness in her heart. So be it, she thought.

With a determined look in her eyes, she opened the jade box. The expected prank did not happen; instead, she smelled a rich and luxurious fragrance.

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes in a daze and saw that the jade box contained a layer of gold powder, which sparkled and looked very beautiful. A rich fragrance wafted through the air and soon filled the entire cabin with this smell.

Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up as she looked at the gold powder in Xiao Xiao's hand and exclaimed, "Wow! What is this? It's so pretty and smells so good!"

Ji Lin looked at the two idiots in front of him with amusement. They had just been terrified, but now they were full of curiosity and surprise.

He explained, "This is the essence pollen of the immortal herb, the Qiluo Tulip, containing its vital essence. Ten thousand years ago, Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, was able to evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda because she consumed this immortal herb, the Qiluo Tulip. Xiaoxiao, your Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute are the same type of auxiliary weapon spirit as Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. This essence pollen comes from the 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip, enough to evolve your Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute once."

Upon hearing the name of Nine Treasures Douluo Ning Rongrong, Xiao Xiao was overjoyed. She had grown up listening to the stories of the original Shrek Seven Devils, so of course she knew about Ning Rongrong's experiences. She didn't expect Ji Lin to give her the same gift as Ning Rongrong. Although it was just essence pollen, it was the pollen of a 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip. The Qiluo Tulip that Ning Rongrong ate back then was not 100,000 years old.

This is a priceless treasure! A rare and precious material that can further enhance the quality of a martial soul.

"Thank you, Ji Lin!"

Xiao Xiao excitedly rushed over and gave Ji Lin a big hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a hard kiss on the cheek.

Ji Lin was taken aback by Xiao Xiao's excitement.

Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er stared blankly at the scene, their expressions turning strange.

Xiao Xiao quickly realized what she had just done. She jumped off Ji Lin instantly, her cheeks flushed, and returned to the sofa, where she lowered her head and became withdrawn.

Ji Lin touched his cheek where Xiao Xiao had just kissed him, and shook his head with a smile. This girl was still as boisterous as ever, and she didn't care about the occasion when she got excited.

Sensing the strange looks from Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, Ji Lin quickly said to Wang Dong'er, "Dong'er, aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

He had to quickly change the subject, otherwise he felt he was in a bad situation.

Sure enough, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er's attention was diverted, and they were also very curious about the gift that Ji Lin gave to Wang Dong'er. Even the withdrawn Xiao Xiao raised her little head to look at the jade box in Wang Dong'er's hand, but the blush on her face did not fade for a long time.

Curious, Wang Dong'er opened the jade box. Inside, an eight-petaled orchid lay quietly, its petals trembling slightly. The orchid was pure white and translucent, giving it a sense of purity and otherworldly elegance.

At the same time, the moment the jade box was opened, the entire room was filled with a wonderful fragrance. The rich orchid scent was refreshing and invigorating, and the four people in the cabin couldn't help but inhale deeply.

Ji Lin explained, "This is called 'Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid,' a celestial herb. It was eaten by Oscar, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, ten thousand years ago. Its medicinal effects are mild, and it has the effect of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the vital energy, and expelling impurities from the body. Dong'er, your cultivation has improved too quickly. This celestial herb can make your foundation more solid and can also help you improve your cultivation. Its medicinal effects can even support you to cultivate up to level seventy."

Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up. "That's great? Ji Lin, I love you."

Ji Lin's lips twitched. Seeing the cunning look in Wang Dong'er's eyes, Ji Lin knew that she was doing it on purpose.

Wang Qiu'er glanced helplessly at Wang Dong'er. After so many years of being best friends, how could she not understand Wang Dong'er? This was clearly intentional, meant to provoke her and make her laugh.

Unfortunately, she wasn't fooled. Did she really think she was some little girl who got jealous easily? If she were really jealous, with a fickle lover like Ji Lin, she'd be dying of jealousy sooner or later.

Seeing that Wang Qiu'er didn't react, Wang Dong'er knew that this trick wouldn't work. Her eyes darted around, and she instantly stood up, gently kissed Ji Lin's cheek, and said with a grin, "Xiao Xiao thanked you in this way, so I can't fall behind! Right, Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao stared at Wang Dong'er in disbelief. She was already trying her best to keep a low profile, but Wang Dong'er still dragged her into this mess. Wasn't she afraid of Wang Qiu'er's wrath? Their little arms and legs couldn't handle it.

Wang Qiu'er narrowed her eyes, as if deliberately provoking him, complaining that she hadn't gone easy on him before. Then she glanced coldly at Ji Lin, her eyes filled with a faint chill. Given Ji Lin's cultivation level and reaction speed, Xiao Xiao's attack could be considered too sudden, but this time he clearly reacted, yet he showed no intention of dodging.
