Chapter 216 Plan Success
Su Luo ran towards the Soul-Devouring Beast, shouting anxiously, "Soul-Devouring Beast! Danger! Throw that thing away!"
Chu Wenqing and the other two also shouted, "Throw it away quickly!"
"Child! It's too dangerous!"
"Danger! Danger!"
The Soul-Devouring Beast tilted its head, as if it didn't understand what Su Luo and the others were saying, and raised the red flower in its paw towards them, letting out a cry.
When Su Luo and the others arrived, they presented the red flower to Su Luo like a precious treasure, startling her so much that she quickly backed away, shouting, "Don't come any closer! Stop!"
The Soul-Devouring Beast seemed startled by her stern rebuke, and its claws loosened, causing the red flower to fall to the ground.
The moment the red flower touched the ground, the lush green weeds on the ground withered and turned yellow instantly upon being touched by the halo of the red flower. Then, starting from the tips of the leaves, they turned gray inch by inch, and a gust of wind blew them away.
"!"
If only a small number of people noticed the green leaves on the red flower vanish in an instant, now everyone has witnessed this terrifying scene!
Everyone gasped in shock.
"H-How could this have happened?!"
"It can instantly reduce the surrounding greenery to ashes! That's terrifying! That red flower is incredibly dangerous!"
"What... what exactly is that red flower?! It's so strange!"
"Luckily, we listened to our senior sister's advice and didn't touch it, otherwise..." At this point, the disciple trembled, revealing a look of lingering fear.
Many disciples around also showed the same lingering fear, including Ning Wanshuang.
She had initially thought that such strange, unfamiliar red flowers might have some magical effects, and planned to secretly pick a few and keep them when no one was looking.
Isn't this a common description in novels? The protagonist finds a spiritual plant that no one recognizes, only to discover that it's actually a Heavenly Rank spiritual plant!
Who knew that the red flower was actually an extremely terrifying weapon?! Whew! Luckily, she didn't have time to use it!
Ning Wanshuang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Su Luo and the others looking worried around the Soul-Devouring Beast, and remembering that the Soul-Devouring Beast had just touched the red flower, she immediately felt schadenfreude.
How dare a mere Soul-Devouring Beast touch such a terrifying thing! It's courting death!
But the next second, Ning Wanshuang's smile froze on her face. Not only her, but everyone stared at the Soul-Devouring Beast with incredulous eyes.
It picked up the bright red flower again, then turned and ran to other places to pick several more red flowers. Then it held the handful of red flowers in its paws, waved them at Su Luo, and chirped lightly, as if it was saying something.
Since no one could understand what it was saying, they instinctively looked at its owner.
Su Luo blinked, her eyes somewhat vacant as she began to translate, "You said... you like this flower? You want to take these flowers with you?"
The Soul-Devouring Beast nodded firmly.
"no!"
Su Luo refused without hesitation, her face serious, and said to the Soul-Devouring Beast in a tone that sounded like she was scolding a naughty child: "Didn't you see how terrifying those red flowers were just now? They could turn all living things into ashes in an instant! That's terrifying!"
The Soul-Devouring Beast refused to give up and cried out twice more.
"What? These safflowers have no effect on you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone belatedly realized what was happening.
That's right! They all saw it with their own eyes just now; the Soul-Devouring Beast grabbed that terrifying red flower but didn't react at all! It had no effect, didn't it?!
Wow! As expected of a Soul-Devouring Beast! Terrifying indeed!
"Or not!"
Even so, Su Luo still firmly refused, pointing at the red flower and saying, "You won't be harmed by this red flower, but we can't! If you carry this thing, you might accidentally kill us! Soul-Devouring Beast, how can you put your master and companions in danger just because you like it?"
The Soul-Devouring Beast was severely reprimanded, and lowered its head as if it had done something wrong. Even its cries lacked strength, and its two tails drooped slightly.
Just then, Chu Wenqing and his group stepped forward, acting like doting parents.
"Su Luo, let it wear it if it likes it! At worst, we can just have it put those red flowers in its storage bag and not take them out normally."
"Yes, yes! It's rare for a Soul-Devouring Beast to find something it likes, and your cold rejection is really disheartening for the child!"
"Okay! Let it take it. I... I have an extra storage bag that I can give to the Soul Devouring Beast."
Even Lin Ji stood next to Su Luo first, patted her on the shoulder, and said gently, "Su Luo, although this red flower is very scary, it's not a big deal as long as the Soul-Devouring Beast doesn't use it to harm people. Let it wear it, even if it's just for decoration."
Upon hearing this, everyone around twitched at the corner of their mouths.
What does it mean to say something is good even if it's just for ornamental purposes?!
Admiring such terrifying flowers is like keeping a time bomb next to you; you really think you have too much time on your hands!
After being persuaded by her companions, Su Luo sighed and finally agreed, "Alright, but you have to keep these flowers safe and don't take them out casually."
The Soul-Devouring Beast nodded repeatedly in a very human-like manner, and even jumped up excitedly, its two tails swishing back and forth in the air.
Song Qiao quickly took out a storage bag and put it around the Soul Devouring Beast's neck. "I've already opened the restrictions on it. Go and collect the loot."
The Soul-Eating Beast called out to him, then hopped off to pick red flowers from various places.
Now, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Luo and the others with extremely strange eyes.
They actually agreed! Aren't they worried that one day they might accidentally touch those red flowers and be finished?!
Everyone thought Su Luo and her friends were courting death, but little did they know they were secretly overjoyed.
Yay! Plan was a success!
Su Luo's plan was simple: to make everyone afraid of the red flower and dare not touch it.
So she deliberately instructed the Soul-Devouring Beast to pretend to be interested and touch the red flower. No one knew that the Soul-Devouring Beast possessed the ability to annihilate plants within a certain radius around it. Following her instructions, the Soul-Devouring Beast secretly used its ability to obliterate the red flower's leaves, then pretended to accidentally drop the flower to the ground, causing everyone to see the weeds on the ground also being obliterated. This way, everyone would subconsciously believe that picking the red flower had the power to reduce everything to ashes, thus instilling fear in them!
At that time, she tried to get the Soul-Eating Beast to fawn over her, but she refused sternly. Her companions then stepped in to smooth things over and persuade her, and in the end, she reluctantly agreed.
Just as they had initially envisioned, they succeeded! Now, even if they brazenly picked all the red flowers, no one would suspect anything, and no one would try to take them from them!
Su Luo subconsciously glanced at Chu Wenqing and the others. They all exchanged knowing glances, trying hard to suppress the smiles that were about to spread across their faces.
Meanwhile, Gu Changhuai and the others frowned slightly, revealing expressions of disapproval.
For the first time, Bai Jinyan put away his smile, walked over, and said to Feng Xiyue in a cold tone, "Fellow Daoist Feng, you guys are far too lacking in awareness of danger! Don't you know how terrible the consequences of keeping such a dangerous thing around could be if you're not careful?!"
Feng Xiyue waved her hand dismissively, "Hey! It's not as dangerous as you guys think. As long as the Soul-Devouring Beast isn't brought out normally, it'll be fine!"
Bai Jinyan was instantly speechless with anger, "You!"
"That thing grows from the skeletons of those puppets. Besides annihilating living beings, no one knows if it will have any other terrible effects."
Qin Zheng walked over, frowned, and suggested to Su Luo, "Fellow Daoist Su, I think it would be best if you didn't bring that thing."
Even Gu Changhuai, who was usually quiet, came over and advised, "These flowers are dangerous, it's better not to bring them."
Ye Danqing frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to join in the persuasion.
Just as he took a step forward, Ning Wanshuang grabbed him, "Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"
The fellow disciples nearby immediately realized what Ye Danqing was about to do and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother! Don't try to persuade her! Su Luo is just asking for death, she has no one to blame but herself!"
"Exactly! Ignore them! They're all incredibly arrogant and conceited; they need to learn a lesson!"
"Senior brother, don't go! Didn't you see how indifferent they were? Even if you go and try to persuade them, they won't listen!"
Ning Wanshuang gave Ye Danqing a pitiful look, "Senior brother, Su Luo is no longer a disciple of Tianyi Sect, so please don't worry about her, okay? Our most important thing right now is to help our injured fellow disciples heal. Look, Senior Brother Qin has been unconscious and hasn't woken up yet."
Looking at Qin Xiu lying on the ground, unconscious due to the depletion of spiritual energy, Ye Danqing hesitated for a while, but ultimately gave up the idea of kindly trying to persuade him.
Forget it, Su Luo is no longer his junior sister, and she... is even less willing to acknowledge him as her senior brother anymore. He'd better not go around in front of her and provoke her any further...
Over there, Su Luo had no idea what Ye Danqing was struggling with. If she did know, she would have definitely snapped at him, "Who cares about your kindness?! Hypocrite!"
