Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 189 Injection of Intercolumnar Cells

"Sister Xiaowu, someone is looking for you. It's a human woman."

In the center of the lake, the Azure Bull Python swam back from the shore.

Da Ming lowered his ox head, which was as big as a small mountain, and rested it on the ground, gesturing for Xiao Wu to come up.

"Who is it?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled, as she mounted the bull's head of the Ming Dynasty.

At this point in time, deep within the hidden Star Dou Great Forest, who would come looking for her?

The azure ox-python turned its body, its head floating on the water, and swam towards the shore.

Soon, Xiao Wu got the answer, her worries disappeared, and a hint of color finally returned to her face.

On the shore stood a tall woman with long, glossy black hair, a cool and aloof expression, and dressed in leather from head to toe, giving her a cold and elegant look.

"Zhuqing, it's you!" Xiaowu's pretty face finally showed a hint of joy.

She activated her soul skill, leaped to the shore, and gently embraced the other person.

"Zhuqing, how did you find this place?" Xiaowu's eyes were filled with tears, but this time they were tears of joy, not sadness.

Originally, she thought she would never see her best friend and friends again, and that they would be separated forever. But she never expected that her good friend would come to her door today.

"It was this that guided me here," Zhu Zhuqing murmured, taking out a golden kunai from her bosom. It was covered with black patterns and filled with rich soul power.

This specially made kunai was given to her by Chen Xuan. It was infused with the energy and soul power of her martial soul and guided her to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing scanned the surroundings with her beautiful eyes, but did not find Chen Xuan.

"And him, could it be that he has already..." She didn't finish her sentence, but she had already guessed the general idea.

There was absolutely no trace of Chen Xuan in this place, yet Ku Wu had guided me here.

Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, and uttered in a trembling voice, "He... he's dead."

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale, her delicate body trembled violently, and she was momentarily lost in thought.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, receiving the news still made her heart clench and left her feeling terrible.

That mischievous yet responsible boy has finally come to this, leaving them first.

Back then, she and Chen Xuan went through so much, faced life and death, and endured hardships. Later, this man gave her his precious soul bone, helping her break through to level 47.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart ached. How could she and Chen Xuan not have feelings for each other after going through so much together?

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, refusing to let them fall, and said with a slight sob, "Could you take me to see him...?"

"Hmm." Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes dimmed; she felt terrible and her heart was heavy.

The two sat on the head of a giant bull, carried by the Azure Bull Python across the lake, and arrived at a cold, icy spot in the middle of the lake.

There lay a corpse, its clothes torn, but without blood.

"Chen Xuan..." Zhu Zhuqing's face was pale. When she saw that the man was really dead, she could no longer hold back her tears, which dripped and soaked the ground.

The once spirited young man who stood in front of her and protected her is now lying there quietly, never to rise again.

Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of Chen Xuan's body, looking at his pale face, which had long since lost all color, and two large holes in his chest, a shocking sight. He was lifeless and would never come back to life.

"Is this still useful to you now?" She took out a glass test tube from her bosom, which contained a bluish liquid, the interstitial cells that Chen Xuan had given her.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know if trying it would work, or what the outcome would be, but it was the only way.

"Xiao Wu, would you like me to give it a try?" She looked at Xiao Wu and told her best friend everything about what Chen Xuan had asked her to do and the abilities of the Hashirama cells.

"Here's a letter, given to me along with the others back then." Zhu Zhuqing took out an envelope and handed it to her best friend.

Xiao Wu carefully opened the envelope, flipping through the yellowed pages, afraid of tearing them.

The letter contained only a few lines, without any lengthy discourse or proper farewell.

"Xiao Wu, by the time you read this letter, I will most likely be dead. Please take my eyes and leave them for our future baby. When our child awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan one day, she will need these eyes and her future achievements will surely surpass mine. Child, she can protect you in my place..."

"Finally, please tell Zhu Qing I'm sorry, goodbye..." That was the entire message in the letter.

When Xiaowu finished reading the last word, she was already sobbing uncontrollably, her tears covering the ground, her heart aching so much that she couldn't breathe.

She cried her eyes out, heartbroken. Even though this bastard was already dead, he still thought of her and the baby.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't bear it and turned her head away. This man also held an important place in her heart, one she could never forget in this lifetime.

"Zhuqing, is there really a way to save him?" Xiaowu wiped away her tears, stood up, and her expression gradually became firm.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head helplessly and sighed, "This is something he asked me to do, and I don't know what the consequences will be."

Xiao Wu's expression was resolute. Chen Xuan had already left, and even if there was only a sliver of hope, she wanted to give it a try.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate and walked up to Chen Xuan, inserting the Hashirama cells directly into his body.

In an instant, the liquid in the glass tube became agitated, brimming with life force, and all of it entered Chen Xuan's body.

Hashirama cells possess immense vitality, and similarly, they are extremely domineering. With just a small amount injected into the human body, they will proliferate wildly, releasing a large amount of life essence and devouring the original host's cells.

The next moment, Chen Xuan's flesh and blood began to surge, faster and faster, as if a thousand ants were crawling on him, a somewhat horrifying sight.

"That's great!" Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she revealed a long-lost smile.

Because she saw that flesh and blood were growing and cells were multiplying in the two large holes in Chen Xuan's chest, as if there were signs of repair.

Half an hour later, to the astonishment of the two men, the two large holes in Chen Xuan's chest were repaired, and new flesh and blood grew back, containing a powerful life force, without leaving a single scar.

Furthermore, the wounds, large and small, on the body's surface are filled with the breath of life, and the wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, repairing the body.

Before long, there wasn't a single wound on his body; he was completely healed, and his entire body was radiating green mist, full of vitality.

However, it was too early to be happy. Xiao Wu soon discovered that although Chen Xuan's injuries had healed, he had not woken up. Moreover, the powerful vitality had not subsided, but instead became stronger and stronger, seemingly showing a tendency to get out of control.

"Stop!" Zhu Zhuqing also realized that things were taking a bad turn.

At this moment, Chen Xuan's breath released a burst of green mist, its vitality terrifyingly rich, causing tender shoots to sprout from the nearby soil, and small grasses to begin to grow.

It should be noted that this place is cold all year round and the ground is bare, making it unsuitable for normal vegetation growth. Yet, tender shoots have sprouted here.

Chi!

The next moment, a strange change occurred. Seedlings sprouted from Chen Xuan's body and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, his entire body showed signs of becoming woody, and the color of his skin changed.

With a thud, his physical body transformed into a plant, becoming a towering tree with lush branches and leaves, standing tall on this land.

However, Chen Xuan's heart emitted a red glow, and a thumping heartbeat could be heard. Some force prevented him from becoming petrified, allowing him to retain his physical body and merge into the tree, with only his head sticking out.

"No, how could this happen!" Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground in despair.

Zhu Zhuqing rushed over to check on Chen Xuan, wanting to rescue him, but she stopped. The tree and Chen Xuan's life were bound together, flesh and blood intertwined; if one was damaged, the other would be damaged as well, and they could not be separated.
