Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 606: Make Yuhao Go Back and Kneel on the Washboard (Daily 10,000 words)

The reason he asked for it was simply because he had been corrupted by Huo Yuhao; he wanted to make a quick buck, even if there was no guarantee.

Unexpectedly, he actually managed to knock down the dates.

The fragrant fairy was clearly unwilling. After the bead floated out, she tentatively asked, "Can you leave me half?"

Qian Daoliu's answer was the same as Xue Di's, "Okay."

However, his actions were similar to Xue Di's, showing no intention whatsoever of returning it.

Even the fragrant fairy dared not demand it forcefully. She mustered her courage and said, "Um, we don't want the things, but you can't hurt our other companions. Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, we'll fight you to the death."

Upon hearing this, even Wang Dong'er laughed. Without the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, what would the soul beasts here fight with?

Even if you gathered together more than twenty soul beasts, they wouldn't be enough to cook a single dish for Qian Daoliu in his current state.

Electrolux, on the other hand, was delighted. A flash of golden light appeared on his staff, and more than twenty contracts flew out.

"Seeing things you shouldn't see comes at a price. I'm leaving you a way out: sign the contract and you'll all live. If you don't sign, then you'll understand an old saying in the human world."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm then chimed in at just the right moment, saying viciously, "Only the dead can keep secrets."

Under the watchful eyes of the five super big shots released by Huo Yuhao, no matter which immortal plant it was, they all obediently signed the contract. They had no doubt that these people would dare to dig them up directly.

"Alright, Yuhao, you can pull up all the non-spiritual immortal herbs here and take them with you. Take the essence of these sentient ones."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu handed the book in his hand to Wang Dong'er: "After you finish reading, go help Yuhao with his work, and plant the seeds while you're at it."

"You guys, that person said you can only take seven portions."

The fragrant and exquisite fairy quickly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was taken aback: "I've heard that in noble mansions, many servants pity their masters who live in luxury rather than themselves. I never imagined that you would be even more despicable than those servants."

"At least they showed they were loyal to their master, so the master will treat them even better in the future. You, on the other hand, are someone Tang San just kept here, someone he only uses when needed, and you're actually thinking of him?"

"You betrayed your own kind by helping Tang San tend his vegetable garden. Who knows when he might uproot you? You're incredibly stupid."

Although Qian Daoliu's words were harsh, they were not wrong at all. He was clearly part of Tang San's interests and might be removed at any time, yet he wholeheartedly helped Tang San manage things. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was sold out and still helped the seller count the money.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the entire plant of Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item trembled involuntarily.

"Waaaaah, I don't know! What can I do? I have absolutely no fighting ability. I don't want to either! Waaaaah!"

The cries of extreme grievance echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

What could she do? Did she not know what she was actually doing?

But that person is a god; what else can she do besides cooperate with him?

"Senior Youyou, I'm sorry, Grandpa Qian didn't mean to say that."

Hearing Youyou's extremely aggrieved sobs, Wang Dong'er felt a pang of sympathy and offered a word of comfort.

It would have been better if Wang Dong'er hadn't spoken. Once she opened her mouth, not only Youyou, but most of the plant-type soul beasts, who had been frightened and then subjected to a barrage of insults and abuse from Qian Daoliu, burst into tears of grievance.

Although these plant-type soul beasts have reached the level of 100,000 years, they are far from having the mindset that a 100,000-year-old soul beast should have. None of their cultivation has come from fighting, and their minds are just like those of ordinary children.

Hearing the chorus of cries, Huo Yuhao's face showed a helpless expression. He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, I don't need that many resources. If I really need them, I'll come back for them next time. Now, shut your little mouths."

"Where is the Heartbreak Grass? Take me there."

"Really?"

She spoke softly and weakly, now almost disbelieving what these people were saying.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Youyou, who quickly pointed out the location of the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

At the spot that Youyou pointed out, there was a piece of black stone, and a small white flower grew alone on top of the stone.

Is the "heartbreak grass" a flower?

Seeing Huo Yuhao's suspicious gaze, Youyou quickly spoke up to explain.

"Sometimes you humans call this 'love-longing heartbreak red,' and sometimes you call it 'heartbreak heartbreak grass,' but you're both referring to the same thing, so I'm not lying to you."

Huo Yuhao nodded reluctantly, as if he believed Youyou's words, and then subconsciously reached out to pick the little flower.

"Why"

Youyou instinctively wanted to stop Huo Yuhao. If she remembered correctly, this flower wasn't picked like that. She had heard that person say that this flower could only be picked by thinking of one's beloved and spitting out a mouthful of heart's blood. Only those whose feelings were sincere and pure enough could pick this flower.

But the next moment, Youyou's eyes widened; the Acacia Heartbreak Red had already been picked by Huo Yuhao.

Although the little flower still looked so delicate, the moment Huo Yuhao plucked it, all the flowers of the plants around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in the valley...

Including the fragrant and exquisite herbs, the fiery apricot blossoms, the eight-cornered ice grass, and the rare and precious chrysanthemum, all of them closed up and drooped, as if they were subjects bowing to their king.

That little flower, that little white flower, floated quietly in front of Huo Yuhao and gently nestled against his cheek, as if it had found its lover, radiating a jade-like luster.

"what?"

Youyou was completely dumbfounded. This was not the same as what that person had said.

"What did I expect it to be? 'Heartbreak Grass' and 'Heartbreak Red'? Isn't this just 'Seeking the Other Shore Flower'?"

Just then, Electrolux curiously came over and, upon seeing the small white flower, suddenly realized what it meant.

Huo Yuhao had just realized that his picking method seemed to be incorrect, but when he saw the flower that he had already picked, he was completely baffled.

No flower is ordinary; it chooses its master carefully. When picking it, one must have one's beloved in mind, be sincere and devoted, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If one is even slightly distracted, one may die from spitting blood but will never be able to pick the flower.

He hasn't even coughed up blood yet, so how did he take it off?

That's not how the story goes, is it?

Wang Dong'er also curiously came over, resting her little head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her face full of curiosity.

She was still thinking that if Huo Yuhao was unreliable, she would show him what truly sincere feelings were—making him kneel on a washboard when they got back was a certainty, since he couldn't even pick a flower, humph!
