Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 146: The Innocent Cha Cha and the Treacherous Zhu Ziyang?

Faced with the deal proposed by Moon Laurel Fairy Tea, Zhu Ziyang immediately agreed on Jiang Nannan's behalf. From any perspective, this deal was a sure win for Jiang Nannan.

"That's wonderful!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea exclaimed happily. "Then it's decided! When you're able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, you must come and find Tea Tea!"

"Okay! I understand!" Jiang Nannan gradually accepted the shock of this matter and said with a smile.

"Alright, you can choose a fairy herb now. I'll pick it for you, and then you can leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said in a cheerful mood, "I'm afraid if you stay too long, the others will notice."

"Can we talk about this?" Jiang Nannan glanced at Zhu Ziyang, and seeing that Zhu Ziyang gave her a wink, she immediately understood and said.

"No problem, but you only have three minutes!" said Laurel Fairy Tea.

"Brother, is there anything you need?" Jiang Nannan immediately turned around, approached Zhu Ziyang, and asked.

"I do have some ideas, but I'd like to hear your opinion, Nan Nan." Zhu Ziyang looked thoughtful, then looked at Jiang Nan Nan, whose face was flushed with excitement.

"My opinion?" The girl paused slightly, then lowered her head, looking thoughtful. After a few seconds, she looked up at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Brother, how about we both state the immortal herbs we want, and then compare them more specifically?"

"No problem," Zhu Ziyang replied with a slight smile.

The two looked at each other, gazing into each other's eyes, and then spoke at the same time:

"Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower!" ×2

Upon discovering that they were thinking the same thing, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but smile knowingly. Zhu Ziyang instinctively put his arm around the girl's waist and said softly, "Nannan, we really are on the same wavelength!"

"Giggle~" The girl giggled, feeling Zhu Ziyang's warm embrace, but her beautiful eyes held a different thought. Jiang Nannan understood that Zhu Ziyang chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower for Ma Xiaotao, which was one of their purposes in searching for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. And she chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower also for Ma Xiaotao.

The young woman had her own considerations. She had witnessed the ambiguous relationship between Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao. Although she was unwilling, she couldn't say anything. After all, it was common knowledge that Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was flawed. She couldn't stop Zhu Ziyang from suppressing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire; otherwise, she would be in the wrong.

Therefore, she chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower. She knew very well that the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower could eradicate Ma Xiaotao's martial soul defect. Once Ma Xiaotao used the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower and resolved her martial soul defect, she would no longer be able to use the excuse of suppressing her evil fire to seduce her Ziyang brother. At the same time, she could leave an even more perfect impression on Ziyang brother. Thus, she achieved two goals at once!

Although the girl was well protected by Zhu Ziyang, she was not a simple, naive, and innocent girl. She had always been working hard to improve herself, whether it was her cultivation level or her cunning and wisdom.

However, Jiang Nannan's idea was excellent, but it could not withstand the unpredictable nature of fate.

"Have you decided which herb you want?" Yuegui Immortal Tea asked as soon as Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan turned around.

"Yes, Cha Cha, we want a Phoenix Cockscomb Palm," Jiang Nannan said with a smile.

"Oh my, you guys really know how to choose!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Jiang Nannan's words. "You actually chose Kui Kui, who's the furthest away from me, Cha Cha. This is really difficult!"

"What? Can't we choose Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower?" Jiang Nannan's heart sank upon hearing this, and she said.

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just a bit troublesome," said the Laurel Fairy Tea, swaying its branches. "How about this, you hold out your hand."

"What?" Jiang Nannan asked, looking puzzled.

"Oh dear, just stick your head out! I won't hurt you, Cha Cha!" The laurel tea flower swayed, its voice filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction.

Jiang Nannan had no choice but to comply, extending a hand towards the Laurel Fairy Tea. Upon seeing this, the Laurel Fairy Tea actually pulled out a branch and manipulated it, placing it in Jiang Nannan's hand. Jiang Nannan was somewhat confused and looked at the Laurel Fairy Tea with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, this flower of Chacha's was meant for you. Pick it, and then you can go pick Kui Kui," said Moon Laurel Fairy Tea, her voice trembling with a hint of reluctance. "Be gentle, okay? I'm very afraid of pain."

Jiang Nannan couldn't help but smile gently and said softly, "Thank you, Chacha. I'll be very careful."

As the girl spoke, she grasped the branch of the laurel tea tree, and with her other hand she slowly reached for the flower petal on the branch. Her eyes were full of tenderness, but her movements were as fast as lightning. With a "snap," she plucked the laurel tea flower.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea cried out in pain, her voice filled with resentment. "How could you lie to Tea Tea? You said you'd be gentle, why were you so rough?!"

"Hehe, a short pain is worse than a long one, right? If I'm quick, you'll only be in pain for a little while," Jiang Nannan explained with a laugh. "If I'm slow, I might not be able to stick the flower in one go, and then you'll be in pain the whole time, won't you?"

"That seems to be true." The Moon Laurel Fairy Tea thought Jiang Nannan was right, completely oblivious to the smile in Zhu Ziyang's eyes. It said, "Alright, when you take Tea Tea's flower to pick Sunflower, no one else will notice. By the way, you can only pick the small flowers next to Sunflower. The largest flower is Sunflower's main body. If you touch it, it will wake Sunflower, and then you two will be doomed."

"Little Flower?" Jiang Nannan asked with some concern, "Is the medicinal properties of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower's small flower the same as its main body?"

"Of course they're different!" said Moon Laurel Fairy Tea. "Kui Kui's true form is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, while her offspring are just simple fairy herbs. How could they be the same?"

"Can the offshoots of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower solve Ma Xiaotao's martial soul defect?" Jiang Nannan murmured to herself, her heart filled with doubt.

"You don't need to worry." Moon Laurel Immortal Tea seemed to see through Jiang Nannan's concerns and said, "Our offspring are still immortal herbs. The reason why offspring are born is simply because our original life level has evolved. In a real sense, the offspring are the true immortal herbs, while we are immortal herb soul beasts."

"Is that so?" Jiang Nannan's doubts were somewhat dispelled, but she was still a little hesitant.

"I guess you chose Kui Kui to fix a human's martial soul defect, right?" said Moon Laurel Fairy Tea. "Ten thousand years ago, Kui Kui's predecessor was used by that person to fix someone's martial soul defect. At that time, Kui Kui's medicinal power was similar to her offspring, or even less than some of her offspring now. You can really rest assured."

"Alright then, I believe you." Jiang Nannan finally felt relieved and walked towards the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower located by Yangquan.

After Jiang Nannan left, Zhu Ziyang watched her movements nervously. Every time she passed a type of immortal herb, Zhu Ziyang's heart would jump, fearing that these immortal herbs would suddenly erupt and attack Jiang Nannan.

"Don't worry! That girl has my flower with her, she won't be attacked." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea saw Zhu Ziyang's worry and immediately comforted him.

"I hope so," Zhu Ziyang said with a hint of threat in his voice. "If Nannan is really attacked, then you can expect to be buried with her."

As he spoke, he defiantly unleashed a burst of deathly power. Moon Laurel Fairy Tea sensed the deathly power emanating from Zhu Ziyang and instinctively trembled, then stubbornly retorted, "You? We can summon the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul!"

"The Ice and Fire Dragon Soul?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang immediately remembered his other purpose in searching for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and a playful look appeared on his face as he asked, "What is that?"

"Hmph! Those are the remnant souls of two Dragon Kings, their strength is hundreds of times greater than all of us immortal herbs combined!" Moon Laurel Immortal Tea said exaggeratedly, her tone very proud, completely unaware that her words made Zhu Ziyang's eyes gradually brighten.

"How is that possible? How could there be the dragon souls of two dragon kings in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?" Zhu Ziyang questioned.

"Hmph! How ignorant you are! The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well became such a treasure land because the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell here!" said Moon Laurel Fairy Tea. "See those two springs? The remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are at the bottom of those springs!"

"I see!" Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up as he suddenly understood. "I get it now, thank you, Chacha!"

"Hehe, good to know. Don't get any bad ideas!" she said haughtily. The innocent Moon Laurel Fairy Tea hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter. Insidious humans always hide their daggers behind their smiles.

"Of course!" Zhu Ziyang nodded and answered, silently adding in his heart, "It won't happen now, but it might not happen next time!"
