After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 506 and Opening 1 Stem

Upon seeing this scene, Shang Xueyi's heart sank. She immediately squatted down and infused Shen Xu's soul with the little bit of chilling power she possessed that could touch the soul.

Seeing that the pain in Shen Xu's expression had lessened slightly, Shang Xueyi's heart was filled with solemnity.

At that moment, Li Linghui, looking worried and panting, rushed in. Ignoring Shang Xueyi's disheveled hair, she went straight to Shen Xu.

A flower mark as deep as the night sky appeared between his brows, its petals as slender as silk with slightly curled tips, resembling the hand of a ghost, and its stamen constantly emitting cold, eerie silver-white starlight.

Li Linghui knelt in front of Shen Xu and pressed her brow against his forehead.

The deep blue light gradually melted away the blood-red flowers that enveloped Shen Xu. As time passed, Shen Xu's breathing gradually became steady, and his body slowly relaxed.

Seeing that Shen Xu's condition was gradually improving, Li Linghui said coldly, "I did not lie to the young palace master. If the young palace master hopes that Shen Xu can live to see a year from now, please stay away from him and try not to provoke him."

If it weren't for his special physical condition, he would have undoubtedly died this time.

"What a beautiful flower of love!" Shang Xueyi looked at the deep blue flower between Li Linghui's eyebrows, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"The Love Flower is a family heirloom passed down through generations. It is the most wondrous and poisonous substance in the world. I can only try to find an antidote. If I cannot find one, I will do everything in my power to save Shen Xu's life."

"Hypocritical! I only care about the results; how you do it is your business."

"How is he doing now?" Shang Xueyi looked at Shen Xu on the ground.

"The flames of passion can burn the soul. It's a miracle he survived. I suspect there might be some secrets hidden in Shen Xu's soul."

“He possesses the Immaculate Dao Seal, so your passion isn’t that fatal to him,” Shang Xueyi explained.

The more people who know that Shen Xu is a Soul Devourer, the greater the risk.

"The Immaculate Dao Seal!" Li Linghui was startled, then chuckled softly.

She actually chose a man with the Immaculate Dao Seal as the vessel for the Love Flower, but isn't that more interesting?

She wanted to see whether her gentleness and love charm would completely win over Shen Xu, or whether the legendary Immaculate Dao Seal would prevail.

“Although it’s not fatal, it’s still dangerous, isn’t it? His soul is very weak right now.” Li Linghui looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her.

Although she always felt inferior whenever she saw her, knowing that she couldn't compare to her in any way, she was determined to beat her this time!

"What do you want to do?" Shang Xueyi looked at Li Linghui coldly.

"For Shen Xu's safety, Young Palace Master can no longer live with him. In addition, I can help him heal the wounds to his soul. Please entrust Shen Xu to me, Young Palace Master."

"How can we help him?" Shang Xueyi's gaze shot towards Li Linghui like a cold lightning bolt.

"It's not what the young master thinks. I won't do anything out of line to Shen Xu."

Shang Xueyi said coldly, "I hope you know what you should and shouldn't do."

"Please rest assured, Young Palace Master, I understand!"

Li Linghui walked up to Shen Xu, tidied his hair, gently picked him up, bowed to Shang Xueyi, and then left the room.

As Shang Xueyi watched Li Linghui's departing figure, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

……

On the other side, Li Linghui placed Shen Xu on her bed, her fingertips brushing against the handsome and refined young man's face, a seductive smile appearing on her face.

"You're such a greedy bastard! You have my love flower, yet you still fall for another woman. Don't you value your life?"

Suddenly, Li Linghui coughed and then clutched her chest, which was still aching slightly.

Her strength is still too weak. If she could defeat Shang Xueyi, today's events would not have happened.

Thinking of this, Li Linghui's gaze softened as she looked at Shen Xu. "Mother, I have someone to walk with me on the road ahead. I think you should be satisfied with him!"

He's great, but he's too popular with women. But I'll chase them all away, one by one.

You need to be firm in your stance! Otherwise, I'll be sad.

Li Linghui gently grasped Shen Xu's hand, then lay down beside him. Light emanated from between their brows, and two illusory flowers of different shapes, closely nestled together, appeared on their bodies.

Two vibrant flowers, one blue and one red, bloom together on a single stem. The flowers sway in the breeze, emitting a soft glow and a refreshing, warm fragrance.

At the point where their palms touched, a faint purple-gold mist emanated, flickering like breath.

Without any extra movements, the Love Flower naturally guides the two people's vital energy to flow out from the Laogong acupoints in their palms and in through the Laogong acupoints in each other's palms, forming an extremely complex cycle.

In this cycle, faint purple-gold dust drifted from the petals, swirling around the two and merging into their souls.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xu vaguely smelled an extremely pleasant fragrance. He unconsciously wanted to get closer to that fragrance, and then tightly hugged that soft body that exuded an alluring aroma into his arms.

Then his hand touched a softer spot, and driven by instinct, without the slightest hesitation, he grasped the soft spot that he could not control.

"Ok!"

A seductive moan faintly reached his ears, making him feel very uncomfortable, but before he could wake up, a rich floral fragrance suddenly wafted over, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

Li Linghui's heart was pounding wildly, and her breathing was extremely rapid. Then, blushing, she looked at Shen Xu beside her, who was completely unaware of what had happened, and pressed her lips tightly against his.

After a long while, Li Linghui stroked Shen Xu's face and said softly, "I'm sorry, it's not the right time yet."

……

In the early morning, Shen Xu opened his eyes and was somewhat bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings.

He remembered that he and the witch yesterday... how did they end up here, and this smell... this is Li Linghui's room.

"Hair strands?" Shen Xu looked at the few black hair strands beside him, and some blurry images suddenly flashed through his mind.

But when he tried to recall it carefully, he couldn't remember anything. Instead, a crimson flame and a strange red flower kept flashing in his memory.

When Shen Xu sensed that the emptiness in his soul seemed to be widening, he immediately realized what might have happened yesterday.

He remembered Li Linghui saying that passion could burn the soul. Yesterday, he and the witch had been so passionate that it had stirred up the passion that was dormant within him...

Shen Xu rubbed his throbbing head and couldn't help but sigh that he had actually turned misfortune into blessing.

Otherwise, based on yesterday's developments, wouldn't he have been trapped by the witch? After all, he is now almost powerless to resist her.

Now that the Love Flower exists, at least the witch doesn't dare to easily harm him. However, he's having a headache about how to deal with Li Linghui.

Moreover, the love flower is more of a curse than a blessing for him, and he needs to find a way to get it out of his body as soon as possible.

Otherwise, according to Li Linghui, the binding force of the Love Flower on him would only grow stronger until he could no longer leave Li Linghui.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu sighed softly.

He now genuinely wonders if he possesses some kind of trait that attracts girls, as he finds himself surrounded by them wherever he goes, and none of them seem like friendly individuals.

He really just wants a quiet life!
