Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 82, Tang San's barely warm immortal herb was stolen.

Meanwhile, Tang San was fleeing frantically through the Sunset Forest. At this moment, he was like a child carrying a huge sum of money, feeling unsafe no matter where he went.

Coincidentally, they ran into the fat guy and his group who were hunting for spirit rings.

The fat man saw Tang San from afar and waved to him.

To everyone's surprise, Tang San was so startled that he turned and left without saying a word.

The fat man and Shrek's teachers were both very puzzled by what they saw.

"Why is the mistress acting like a thief?"

Flanders pondered this with a sense of bewilderment.

Tang San fled quickly. Before he had fully absorbed the immortal herbs on his body, he dared not meet with the teachers of Shrek Academy, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

He could share the immortal herbs he didn't need with his friends, but only if they were herbs he didn't need. Right now, before he's used up all the immortal herbs himself, he wouldn't take any risks.

Tang San carried the immortal herb and used Ghost Shadow Tracking to run for a day and a night until sunrise, when he finally escaped Sunset Forest and arrived outside the forest.

He originally planned to rent a room in a small town to absorb the immortal herb, but looking at the soul masters around him, Tang San felt that every soul master seemed to have ill intentions towards his immortal herb, eyeing it covetously, as if they wanted to steal it away from him.

Tang San dared not stay there, so he decisively left the town and ran to a desolate mountain in the wilderness. He dug a hole in the mountain and crawled inside.

That wasn't enough to be safe. He even sealed the entrance with mud, leaving only a breathing hole the size of a thumb exposed. Feeling the sensation of being buried alive, Tang San finally felt a little safer.

"Now I can finally absorb the immortal herb without worry!"

Tang San couldn't help but say excitedly.

The next moment, a large hand broke through the soil, reached into the cave, and knocked Tang San unconscious with a single blow.

Tang Hao appeared.

He slapped Tang San until he was unconscious.

Tang San is currently just an ordinary Soul Master. Even with the enhancement of Tang Sect Soul Skills, he is still powerless against Tang Hao, a true Title Douluo.

After knocking Tang San unconscious, Tang Hao ruthlessly stole all of Tang San's immortal herbs and then left.

Meng Bei had given away the immortal herb the day before, and it returned to him the next day.

Unlike Tang San, Meng Bei possesses a soul tool that can preserve living things, thus allowing him to preserve immortal herbs for a long time.

He put most of the immortal herbs into the soul guide device, and only picked out three kinds of immortal herbs: the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, and the Qiluo Tulip.

Among them, the Jade Bamboo was the one that Dugu Yan had her eye on yesterday, so Meng Bei planned to give this immortal herb to Dugu Yan.

Shouldn't one's own woman consume two immortal herbs?

As for Ning Rongrong, she was naturally involved as well.

The tulips and the longing dew were specially prepared by Meng Bei for Ning Rongrong.

Soon, Meng Bei woke the two women up, and they took the immortal herb with delight.

As for why the immortal herbs given away yesterday have returned, Meng Bei didn't say, and the clever Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan naturally wouldn't ask.

After a period of time, the herb was fully absorbed.

Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the martial spirit in her hand, her heart pounding.

She counted the number of layers of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, one by one.

One, two, three, ... eight, nine!

"Oh my god!" Ning Rongrong looked at the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand with great surprise. She felt a surge of heat through her body and her whole body trembled with excitement.

Ning Rongrong threw herself into Meng Bei's arms.

"Xiao Bei, how can I possibly thank you enough!"

Meng Bei smiled and leaned close to Ning Rongrong's ear, whispering:

"Rongrong, do you know what a hamburger is...?"

As Meng Bei spoke more and more, Ning Rongrong's face flushed red from her ears until it spread across her entire face, making her look as tempting as a ripe apple.

"How could you be so mean!"

Ning Rongrong patted Meng Bei's chest shyly.

Meng Bei soothed her tenderly, saying:

"Rongrong, just this once, okay?"

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Just once!

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong turned her head and looked at Dugu Yan beside her.

At this moment, Dugu Yan was completely unaware of the danger that was about to strike when Ning Rongrong suddenly pounced on her, grabbed both of Dugu Yan's wrists, and pinned her to the ground.

"Rongrong, what are you doing?"

Dugu Yan struggled to ask.

Ning Rongrong whispered in Dugu Yan's ear:

"Sister Yan Yan, don't struggle anymore. Meng Bei said he wants to eat a hamburger. Shall we make him a hamburger?"

Lone Goose!!!

……

Later, Meng Bei also sent two immortal herbs to Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong respectively.

After consuming the immortal herb, Liu Erlong's martial soul evolved, just like Ning Rongrong's.

The immortal herbs she consumed were Fiery Apricot and Phoenix Sunflower. Meng Bei personally used the power of the fire element to protect her and help her absorb them. These two powerful fire-attribute immortal herbs caused her Fire Dragon Martial Soul to undergo a transformation.

Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul's flames transformed into ultimate fire, and crimson flame patterns appeared on the Fire Dragon's scales, significantly increasing the overall flame power of her Martial Soul.

Xiao Wu also consumed two immortal herbs. Although her martial soul did not evolve, her soul power and talent were greatly enhanced. Furthermore, under the influence of the immortal herbs, Xiao Wu's appearance became even more beautiful.

Xiao Wu was already undeniably beautiful, a cute and alluring little rabbit that Meng Bei always adored. Now, after consuming the immortal herb, Xiao Wu possessed an even greater air of purity and holiness.

Under the powerful influence of the immortal herb, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Liu Erlong have all broken through their bottlenecks in soul power.

Therefore, Meng Bei's next task was to lead the four of them to hunt for souls.

[Ding! Side quest triggered!]

Side Quest: Obtain Soul Rings. Help Xiao Wu, a member of the Shrek Academy team, obtain Soul Rings.

[Task Difficulty: Easy]

[Mission Reward: Increase the age of the fourth spirit ring by 5,000 years.]

[Ding! Side quest triggered!]

Side Quest: Hunt for Soul Rings. Help Ning Rongrong, a member of the Shrek Academy team, hunt for Soul Rings.

[Task Difficulty: Easy]

[Mission Reward: Increase the age of the third spirit ring by 1000 years.]

Hearing the system's message in his mind, Meng Bei's spirits lifted.

What's going on? Helping others hunt for spirit rings can trigger a system quest?

Why didn't Ma Hongjun's Soul Hunting event trigger recently?

After much thought, Meng Bei suddenly realized a possibility.

Could it be...?

Yes, according to the system's judgment, Ma Hongjun and Flander have left his team, so he is no longer a member of the Shrek team.

Therefore, he was unable to trigger the system task.

If that's the case, then can I recruit a large number of Shrek Academy students in the future and use them to complete missions for myself?

Meng Bei thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

He planned to implement this strategy immediately upon returning to Tiandou City.

As for now, there are other things to do.

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Liu Erlong's Soul Hunting will have to wait a while.

Meng Bei decided to deal with Xiao Wu's spirit ring first.

Xiao Wu is a soul beast, so she doesn't need to hunt souls; she only needs to condense her own soul rings, making her the most relaxed of all.

This can also be seen from the system's task description. Others are hunting for spirit rings, while Xiao Wu is acquiring spirit rings. This one-word difference illustrates Xiao Wu's special status.

He was in Xiao Wu's room at that moment.

There's no time to lose; now is the perfect time to protect Xiao Wu and let her focus on condensing her soul ring.

Meng Bei then pulled Xiao Wu over and let her sit in his lap, allowing him to focus on condensing his fourth soul ring.

He would use his strong body to protect Xiao Wu, safeguarding her and preventing her from being disturbed in any way.
