Chapter 99 The Extraordinary Chrysanthemum and the Theory of Obsession

When Guangling and Han Li entered the restaurant, Dugu Yan and Xiuer had not yet arrived.

I understand, after all, she's a girl, so it's a bit more troublesome. Waiting a little longer isn't a problem.

However, they didn't have to wait too long. The two had just finalized the new version of the adventure when, less than ten minutes later, they arrived together, looking quite intimate.

Sure enough, showering together can quickly bring people closer; this rule applies not only to men but also to women.

"Alright, sit down and have something to eat first. Xiuer and I will accompany you to walk around the neighborhood and get familiar with the new environment."

Han Li pointed to the seats opposite him and Guang Ling.

"Great! I've been stuck in the carriage for so many days, I'd like to get some exercise. I feel like my body is about to rust."

Dugu Yan's condition seemed no different from usual.

"Yes, Xiao Li and I will take you to see the flowers. This place preserves most of the rare plants that can be collected on the mainland. It's very nice. There are also some poisonous flowers and herbs." Xiu'er also recommended to Dugu Yan with a smile.

"Really? Then I'll have to see for myself."

Xiuer's recommendation struck a chord with Dugu Yan. Putting aside the rare plants, she was quite fond of poisonous flowers and herbs.

Oh, I almost forgot about that.

Han Li then remembered the batch of flowers and plants that Chrysanthemum Douluo had given him. Judging from Xiu'er's words, they should be growing quite well.

Well, we can exchange some similar medicinal herbs for him later, as compensation.

Once Sister Xiu'er uses the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, should she consider becoming his apprentice? Guangling doesn't count; that's just a verbal title. Sister Xiu'er is the one he calls her, and Han Li himself is well aware of that.

Forget it, let's talk about this later. It might cause problems if things go wrong, so let's postpone it for now.

I'll talk to my master and senior uncle later. Anyway, it's impossible to give him the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Not to mention that it involves the internal factional struggles of the Spirit Hall, it's not even certain that I can win him over. Han Li isn't so generous as to just seek goodwill.

Even putting that aside, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is very important to Xiuer, as it relates to the subsequent evolution of her martial soul, and Han Li will not back down.

Although he felt that the two's Yin-Yang Stillness Domain was very strong, it wasn't indispensable and not worth it.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite pleasant. Watching the two women chatting and laughing together in a harmonious manner, Han Li found his meal even more delicious.

After the meal, Guangling stayed a while longer, reminded him not to forget about tomorrow's events, and then decisively left.

In the afternoon, Han Li and Xiu'er showed Dugu Yan around the area and took her out for a walk to help her get acquainted with people.

Then, the three of them ventured into the rare plant garden that had been built within the mansion.

It must be said that Dugu Yan does have some family knowledge. Although she doesn't know much about other plants, she is very knowledgeable about poisonous flowers and weeds. She even transplanted a division on the spot and put it into her little treasure bag.

Han Li didn't bother with it. She now had an external soul bone, so there wouldn't be any problems. Xiu'er, on the other hand, watched with envy. After all, she was always very careful when tending to these plants, and she had to be mindful of the distance just to get close.

Seeing this, Han Li decisively took out the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item and handed it to her, which made Xiu'er much happier.

It was close to 5 p.m. when the three of them finally emerged from the botanical garden.

"What are we going to do next?" Dugu Yan asked excitedly.

"Well, there's not much to do up in the mountains. Let's wait a few days until we move down the mountain, then we'll take you out to play."

Han Li glanced at the time and made a decision.

"Alright, that's perfect, I'm a bit tired too."

Dugu Yan nodded; she could tell that Han Li must have something to do.

"Come on in too. I'm about to give Sister Xiu'er the magic herb. You have experience, you can teach me."

Han Li wasn't going to let her leave. She had just arrived, and it was better for her to stay by his side to avoid her overthinking things when she was alone.

"Really? Then I want to see it. I've never seen any other magical herbs before."

Dugu Yan immediately became interested again, while looking at Han Li with some resentment, thinking how well he was covered up.

"No problem, I'll show you everything. Okay, let's not talk about this outside. Let's all go to my room; no one will dare to investigate there."

Han Li looked at the two of them, stopped talking outside, and led them towards his room.

Once inside the room, Han Li instructed the maids to notify the kitchen to postpone dinner until midnight, and also told them not to approach without being summoned. Only then did he use his soul power to create a simple barrier and take out all the immortal herbs.

Well, aside from that Crimson Swan Kiss, it's best not to let Dugu Yan touch this thing for now. The age of the soul bone is still too low. We'll talk about it later.

Xiuer had also read plant guides, and although she hadn't memorized them all, she still had a deep impression of them. Seeing so many magical herbs appear before her eyes all at once, she was a little stunned.

So Han Li pulled her down to sit and began to tell her about what had happened on this trip.

Of course, Dugu Bo embellished his version a little, saying that he and Guangling hit it off immediately, which led to the series of events that followed.

He and Dugu Bo secretly exchanged statements about this matter, since neither of them really wanted Dugu Yan to know the truth.

Although Dugu Yan was one of the participants, she listened with great interest, becoming a part of the story and listening to it again was quite interesting for her.

It must be said that Han Li is a good storyteller. He fills in some mundane things and tells them from a different perspective. Even Dugu Yan felt that the character in the story was much more perfect than the real her.

At the end of the story, Han Li handed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to Xiu'er, and in reality, he did the same thing.

Sigh, why am I suddenly a little envious? Dugu Yan thought to herself with a hint of resentment.

However, she immediately remembered that she was the female protagonist in the story she had just heard. Oh well, it's okay now, and her mood improved again.

Xiuer did not refuse, nor would she refuse. Instead, she directly accepted the purple Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum whose stamen tip shimmered with a faint golden light.

"Alright, Sister Xiuer, get ready to take it. First, eat the pistil of the Heavenly Flower, then eat each petal one by one. Don't eat the root or stem. After you finish, immediately begin your cultivation to neutralize the medicinal effects."

Han Li pointed to the place where he usually cultivated, indicating that she could go there to take the medicine.

"Um."

Xiuer answered and sat down, swallowing the immortal herb as Han Li instructed.

Seeing Xiuer enter into cultivation, Dugu Yan moved closer to Han Li, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear:

"I tried it when I was taking a bath before. Xiuer's ears are very sensitive. To be honest, do you have some kind of fetish? When I was possessed by my martial spirit before, you kept staring at my lower body and even touched my tail."

Upon hearing her words, Han Li instantly bristled. He glanced subconsciously at Xiu'er, who was cultivating, before turning his head and saying, "Let me tell you, don't slander me. What fetish or not, it just so happens that the people I like all have some bestial characteristics."

Seeing his reaction, Dugu Yan gave him a charming look and tapped his chest.

"Is that so? Then I'll take that as true."

Han Li gave her a disapproving look, pulled her aside to sit down, and began to observe Xiu'er's condition.
