218: Section 218

However, Dream Hongshang's gaze, in her peripheral vision, suddenly caught sight of the Ginseng Baby Su Mo was holding.

As a Loose Immortal who had cultivated for several hundred years, her discernment was naturally not lacking.

With a single glance, she recognized that what Su Mo was holding was a thousand-year-old Ginseng Baby.

This!

Dream Hongshang's mind was greatly shaken.

What kind of luck did this Su Mo have to encounter such an opportunity?

A thousand-year-old Ginseng Baby was incredibly precious; if a small School acquired it, they could rise to prominence in a few hundred years with its help.

Just then.

Su Mo, feeling Dream Hongshang's gaze, shouted loudly.

“Peach Blossom Fairy! I've just obtained a thousand-year-old Ginseng Baby, and I've specially come to give it to you!”

“It will specifically help you overcome your Loose Immortal tribulation!”

“Please, Peach Blossom Fairy, come out and meet me!”

What!

Dream Hongshang, who was observing, was startled, and her heart began to pound erratically.

Specially brought for her?

Dream Hongshang hesitated, wondering if there truly was a man in this world who fell in love with her at first sight.

No.

No!

It's all fake, all fake.

Dream Hongshang's gaze gradually firmed; her true love was still her Senior Brother.

This person must have some ulterior motive.

But the thousand-year-old Ginseng Baby was too tempting.

If she could use it to refine a Ginseng Nine-Aperture Pill, she would save a thousand years of arduous cultivation, and even if she encountered future calamities, there would be no problem.

Under the temptation of the Ginseng Baby, Dream Hongshang temporarily lowered her guard and opened a teleportation gate for Su Mo.

At the same time, her sweet voice came through.

“Young Master Su, please come in.”

Looking at the suddenly appearing light gate and the Peach Blossom Spring beyond, Su Mo composed himself.

“Alright, Peach Blossom Fairy, I'm coming in.”

After speaking, Su Mo stepped into the portal.

Upon entering, Su Mo saw Dream Hongshang, dressed in red, gracefully walking towards him, welcoming him.

Looking at the peerlessly beautiful woman before him, Su Mo suppressed his excitement and walked over, holding the Ginseng Baby.

Arriving before Dream Hongshang, Su Mo held up the Ginseng Baby.

“This is for the Fairy.”

Looking at Su Mo's fervent expression and burning gaze, Dream Hongshang's heart also became somewhat flustered.

Her true love was still her Senior Brother.

How could she easily accept someone else's pursuit?

“Young Master Su, this Ginseng Baby is too precious. I cannot accept such a valuable gift without earning it. How can I just casually accept it?”

Su Mo immediately spoke the words he had already prepared.

“Peach Blossom Fairy, I don't know Alchemy. The best solution for this Ginseng Baby is not to kill it, but to extract some blood periodically for Alchemy.”

“A treasure given to a beauty.”

“Peach Blossom Fairy's Alchemy is unparalleled. I am simply offering a flower to the Buddha.”

“Please, Peach Blossom Fairy, accept it.”

“Just give me half of the Medicinal Pills you refine.”

“As for this Ginseng Baby, let it be raised on Peach Mountain.”

“This Peach Mountain is as beautiful as an Immortal Realm on earth, so the Ginseng Baby will also have a place of refuge.”

After Su Mo's speech, Dream Hongshang was deeply moved.

Nothing else.

Simply because this Ginseng Baby was too precious.

If it were given to her, Ascension would be just around the corner.

“Then, then I thank Young Master Su.”

Seeing this, Su Mo directly handed the Ginseng Baby to Dream Hongshang.

At this moment, the Ginseng Baby was already scared stiff, not knowing what to do.

Its body was taut and rigid.

Looking at the frightened Ginseng Baby, Dream Hongshang patted its small head.

“Don't worry, I won't kill you.”

“In the future, I'll take at most one or two liang of your blood each year.”

“Be good and obedient, and perhaps I'll find more Spirit Medicine for you to eat.”

After hearing Dream Hongshang's words, the Ginseng Baby's stiff body gradually softened, and its gaze changed from extreme fear to slight unease.

Seeing the Ginseng Baby's reaction, Dream Hongshang patted its small face.

“This is a good baby.”

Then, Dream Hongshang looked at Su Mo.

“Young Master Su, since that's the case, you should stay here for a while.”

“I can use this little baby's essence blood to refine a Medicinal Pill called the Ginseng Nine-Aperture Pill.”

“However, it will take forty-nine days for the pill to be completed.”

“At that time, I'll give you all the Medicinal Pills from the first batch.”

Hearing this, Su Mo quickly shook his head.

“Your own consumption during Alchemy must be significant. You should keep it to replenish your body.”

“There's plenty of time in the future; there will be many opportunities to eat the Medicinal Pills refined by you, Fairy.”

Dream Hongshang's heart warmed upon hearing this.

She thought to herself.

This Young Master Su is quite considerate.

“Then thank you, Young Master Su.”

With that, Dream Hongshang took out a peach-colored token.

“Oh, this is the token for entering and exiting my Immortal Cave. Young Master Su can leave as he pleases if he wishes to go out.”

“During this time, I will be in seclusion for Alchemy, so I might not be able to come out and open the door.”

Seeing this, Su Mo directly grasped Dream Hongshang's delicate hand holding the token, feeling its smoothness and warmth.

“Young Master Su!”

Dream Hongshang was somewhat annoyed.

“I'm leaving. Please, Young Master Su, have some self-respect!”

With that, Dream Hongshang directly threw the token to Su Mo and took the Ginseng Baby to the Alchemy room.

Su Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth upon seeing this.

In the simulation, Dream Hongshang was the type of woman who needed you to be assertive to break through her psychological defenses.

Once her favorability increased, perhaps he could try.

But not yet.

The fact that she didn't directly tell him to leave was probably because he had given her the Ginseng Baby.

Meanwhile, Dream Hongshang was both embarrassed and annoyed. Even her Senior Brother had never touched her hand.

Yet, this Su Mo had taken advantage of her.

But looking at the Ginseng Baby she was holding, Dream Hongshang's anger somehow dissipated by more than half.

First, he gave her the Binding Immortal Rope, and now such a precious Ginseng Baby.

Could it be that...

He was sincere?

No!

Dream Hongshang shook her head, expelling the thoughts from her mind, and tried to recall her Senior Brother's voice and appearance from her youth.

But it had been several hundred years since she last saw her Senior Brother.

So much time had passed that even his silhouette had begun to blur.

For some reason, Su Mo's face replaced her Senior Brother's, standing in a sun-drenched meadow, smiling warmly at her.

Dream Hongshang shook her head.

A wave of sadness suddenly welled up in her heart.

At this moment, scenes from the past appeared in her mind—the moments with her Senior Brother when they were still in the School.

But Senior Brother had never smiled at her like that.

His true love, after all, was still only his Junior Sister.

And she.

Perhaps, she was no longer the Dream Hongshang of yesteryear.

She could no longer return to those carefree days, and the youthful girl who once chatted about the future with her Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters had long since vanished.

Time truly was a Great Master of carving.

It could sculpt a person into whatever form it desired.

Looking at the Ginseng Baby in her hand.

Dream Hongshang's eyes suddenly showed a hint of confusion.

She could tell that Su Mo's Realm wasn't even that of a Loose Immortal, yet he had given her the Ginseng Baby without hesitation.

He even considered her own consumption during Alchemy.

For the past few hundred years, she had always been alone, and this was the first time someone had cared for her like this...

It had to be said.

The feeling of being cared for was truly warm.

No!

Dream Hongshang suddenly calmed down.

She knew very well that men were impulsive creatures.

Now that he was infatuated with her, he could do anything for her.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before his enthusiasm waned, or he might even regret giving her the Binding Immortal Rope and the Ginseng Baby.

If Su Mo really regretted it.

Dream Hongshang had already thought it through: at worst, she would return it to him.
