How about you become ...?!

"Infernal Delicate Apricot!" Xuan Yan said looking at the red fiery flower with golden linings on it. Liu Erlong came beside him and looked at the plant. As she observed it, a perplexed expression creased her forehead, sensing a familiar energy emanating from its petals.

Xuan Yan crouched down and touched the delicate flower "Erlong, this is for you! This can break your bloodline shackles and will evolve your martial spirit!"

Liu Erlong also squatted and touched the red plant "Yes, Yan...I can also feel something..."

"Wait, Your Excellency!" Dugu Bo floated and landed beside him. Xuan Yan turned his eyes at him "Dugu Bo?"

"Your Excellency, as you are already aware that these plant spirit beasts have their own consciousness. If it's plucked from the soil for a longer period it would wither..."

A leather purse appeared on Dugu Bo's hand. "Your Excellency, this is a special artifact. This is Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse! This can even store living beings. Use it, so the flowers will not wither away and stay fresh."

Liu Erlong was shocked hearing this "An artifact that can even store living beings?"

Dugu Bo smiled proudly. This is a great treasure around the whole continent. Because no one has a storage artifact that can store living things. So it's really a priceless treasure.

Xuan Yan glimpsed at the green purse. This is the purse Tang San used to store immortal herbs, he even stored Xiao Wu rabbit in this purse.

Xuan Yan shook his head "No, I don't need it, Dugu Bo! My star ring can store anything. So, it's not a problem!"

Dugu Bo looked at the golden ring with a red star head on it on Xuan Yan's finger. "B-But, Your Excellency, you can keep this too. It will surely help you!"

Xuan Yan refused "No, you keep it!" Dugu Bo sighed in disappointment "Then as you wish Excellency. You can take your time here to collect the herbs!"

Xuan Yan nodded and Dugu Bo disappeared from there. Liu Erlong also looked at the ring "Yan, you also have an artifact that stores living beings!"

Xuan Yan nodded with a smile "My star ring can store anything!" Liu Erlong was amused hearing this.

Xuan Yan then proceeded to pluck the whole flower with its root. "Erlong you can absorb this later in our house!"

Liu Erlong nodded "Yes, Yan!"

...

Xuan Yan glanced at a white plant topped by a large white flower, octagonal, the stamen in its center twinkling like ice crystals, without releasing any fragrance. He walked near it "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass"

He plucked it and smiled looking at it "Yin'er can use this!"

Liu Erlong glanced at this and frowned "Yin'er? Ah Yin? She has an ice martial spirit?"

"Hm? No. My sister Yin'er!"

"H-Huh?" Liu Erlong was totally surprised to hear that Yan has a sister "Yan, you have a sister?"

Xuan Yan looked at her in dismay "Why? Can't I have a sister?"

Seeing his expression, she hurriedly shook his head "No, Yan. I was just surprised...and you never told me about that" But now she is really curious to meet his family.

Xuan Yan chuckled and looked at the root of the grass and he was stunned "Yin'er is really lucky!"

"What happened, Yan?" Liu Erlong asked looking at his surprised face.

Xuan Yan pointed at the six crystals in the root "This is Star Anise Ice Crystal. It increases the cultivation of the Ice spirit master and if it is made into a weapon, it can withstand the strength of ultimate ice!"

Liu Erlong doesn't understand what Ultimate Ice is. But if Yan is surprised...it is really something valuable.

...

Then he looked at a large Chrysanthemum flower and smiled "Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" This is the herb Tang Wulin used to cure Na'er's amnesia.

But it can also strengthen one's foundation and body. Should be perfect for Xie'er!

...

He kept searching for the Immortal herbs...

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew"

"Beautiful Silk Tulip"

"Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone"

"Yin Yang grass!"

When he stumbled upon a certain flower, he smiled looking at the white-redflower "Yearning Heartbroken Red"

"Yan, what does this do?" Liu Erlong asked looking at his smile.

He glimpsed at her "This is a divine treasure among Immortal herbs! It is one of the kings of flowers."

"This immortal herb will choose its own master. Only a lovesick person could possess it!"

Liu Erlong furrowed her brows "Lovesick person?"

"En. You can use this to test someone's love. The person has to think of their beloved with unwavering determination and spit blood on it. If they don't have true love and wavering in one's mind while picking the flower will cause great pains and internal turmoil within the heart."

"This..." Liu Erlong was beguiled hearing this.

Xuan Yan took it with the small rock where it grew and stored it on his star ring.

...

"Hm? Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia?" Xuan Yan uttered looking at a purple mushroom-shaped plant.

He squatted and gently tapped it "Erlong, this is the herb. It can break someone's defect in martial spirit and make them level up!"

"What?" Liu Erlong's face lit up in joy and she quickly hunched near him. "Can this herb really do it? Breaking the limitations?"

Xuan Yan nodded "Yeah, it can!" Liu Erlong smiled "Then store it too."

"En. But it also has a condition for to be used!" Xuan Yan said and Liu Erlong was confused "What condition, Yan?"

"..."

Hearing this condition from Xuan Yan's mouth, Liu Erlong smiled "It's not a problem. He can consume this."

Xuan Yan frowned "He? Erlong, I have been meaning to ask you this. You are always curious when I talk about this immortal herb. Do you know someone with such defects?"

Liu Erlong was startled to hear this and she looked away "Y-Yan, that is...Ah, friend, a friend of mine. He also has a martial defect and can't level up after level 29. So I think this will help him."

Xuan Yan nodded "Yeah, it will help!"

...

After collecting all the immortal herbs, Xuan Yan and Liu Erlong appeared on the cliff. Dugu Bo smiled "Your Excellency, have you taken them?"

Xuan Yan nodded "Yes, Dugu Bo! We are leaving now!"

"Yes, Your Excellency! You can come again whenever you want and you can collect any herbs you like!"

Xuan Yan gave a little nod and they both vanished leaving Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan perplexed.

...

*swish* Both Xuan Yan and Liu Erlong appeared in the house. Ah Yin and Long Yeyue who were sitting on the sofa, smiled softly and stood up. "Husband!"

They both hugged him, and Xuan Yan smiled and took them in his arms without hesitation "My dears!"

Liu Erlong and Ah Rou smiled gently seeing their intimate love. But a trace of jealousy passed in Liu Erlong's eyes looking at them as she thought about her first love.

But then, a heavy sigh escaped her lips, Where are you Xiaogang? With a slight heaviness in her steps, she proceeded to make her way into the comfort of her own room.

Xuan Yan leaned in and pressed his lips against the soft, inviting lips of both Ah Yin and Long Yeuye. They also reciprocated the kiss with their gentle lips.

Xuan Yan's gaze briefly shifted towards Liu Erlong, who had just entered the room "Ah Yin, Yue'er. I have something to talk about with Erlong!"

Both of them gave a nod and stepped back from his hug. With a smile, Xuan Yan made his way to Liu Erlong's room.

*creak* "Erlong!" He opened the door and entered inside. But then he stopped looking at her bare back. She was just about to change her clothes.

Liu Erlong turned her head and a huge blush came across her face. Xuan Yan grinned "Shall I enter?" he asked teasingly.

"Ask that before you enter the room, brat! Leave!" Liu Erlong yelled in embarrassment.

Xuan Yan let out a soft chuckle as he gently closed the door, finding amusement in the situation at hand. Ah Yin, Ah Rou, and Long Yeyue also laughed seeing the drama.

A little later, Xuan Yan heard her voice "Come in, brat!"

Xuan Yan entered and saw that she hadn't changed her clothes. He smiled and sat near to her on the couch.

Liu Erlong's lips twitched seeing his cheeky smile "Yan, why did you come?"

"Oh, I just thought I should deliver this..." he said and the Infernal Delicate Apricot appeared on his hand. He gently placed it on her hands.

Liu Erlong saw the herb in her hands "Yan, How to absorb this?"

"Eat it!"

"Huh?"

"Just Eat it!"

"The whole flower?"

"Yeah, the whole power!"

Liu Erlong looked at his serious eyes. So he is not really teasing me. She then ate the petals and then the stamen of the flower.

*swoosh* Quickly her spirit power raised and Xuan Yan spoke "Erlong, concentrate!"

Liu Erlong nodded and sat cross-legged on the couch as she tried to absorb the immortal herb she just ate.

...

*ROAR* A large roar was heard as a large red-fire dragon phantom appeared above her and red scales appeared on her body. The corner of her mouth smirked. Now she understood her bloodline and the evolution of her martial spirit.

Liu Erlong opened her eyes as a red glint passed her eyes. Now her martial spirit is even more powerful than Blue Tyrant Dragon.

"huff" The clansmen mocked and ridiculed her for her mutated and weak spirit but now her martial spirit is more powerful than theirs.

A smile took over her lips as she glanced at Xuan Yan "Thank you so much Yan, because of you I gained a lot of benefits. I understood my dragon blood and martial spirit - Scarlet Dragon!"

Xuan Yan smiled "Now you look a lot more beautiful than before, Erlong!"

A gentle and heartfelt laughter escaped from her mouth "Yan...You did so many good things for me. But I don't know how to repay you for all of this..."

Xuan Yan thought about it and he gazed at her beautiful face. Should I give it a shot?

Seeing his intense gaze, Liu Erlong's cheeks turned a little red "What Yan?"

"How about you become...my woman?"

Liu Erlong was shocked for a moment as her brain couldn't process what she just heard. She didn't expect he would ask something like that. Did I hear it wrong?

She pointed at herself "You want me to become...your woman?"

Xuan Yan softly nodded his head while maintaining direct eye contact with her dark, captivating eyes.

Her face turned into a gentle smile and she said lovingly "Alright, I'll be your woman!"
