The "Mother of Acacia Tree" and the "Sapling of Acacia Tree" chatted for a while before reluctantly parting.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" was to return to the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" with Wang Dong.
Before leaving, the "Mother of Acacia Tree" proactively offered a gift to Hao Ren.
She produced a large quantity of "Acacia Tree Leaves" and bestowed them upon Hao Ren.
"Acacia Tree Leaves" were considered top-grade treasure materials for refining elixirs. The innate characteristic of "acacia" contained within them allowed various medicinal ingredients to fuse with each other, enhancing their efficacy.
In short, they were awesome and powerful!
Hao Ren, of course, happily accepted them.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" was truly wonderful!
Such a fine girl, and Wang Dong, that scoundrel, didn't know how to cherish her. He deserved to be struck by lightning!
As if understanding the meaning in Hao Ren's eyes, the "Mother of Acacia Tree" lowered her head, a melancholic expression on her face.
[Ding! Your friend "Mother of Acacia Tree" is thinking: Even the senior understands my feelings, why can't my master feel my love?]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Dong" is thinking: I've been out for more than half a day. Ah, it's been more than half a day since I last saw "Yun Yaoyao." I miss her, I miss her, I miss her...]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Dong" is thinking: I haven't seen "Yun Yaoyao" for so long. She must miss me too. What gift should I bring her?]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Dong" is thinking: How about giving her the "Divine Consciousness Pill" as a token of love... No, "Yun Yaoyao" is still a child. She probably wouldn't like a "Divine Consciousness Pill." How about candied haws instead...]
...
Seeing these stream of status messages, Hao Ren felt utterly disturbed.
What the heck was this!
Wang Dong, you beast, you actually know "Yun Yaoyao" is a child!
She is still a child!
How could you bring yourself to do it!
And the "Mother of Acacia Tree" is too pitiful!
A dignified "Innate Spiritual Plant" has been reduced to a lovelorn dog.
Damn it!
If this is unbearable, what is?
Hao Ren made up his mind. He was going to interfere.
Hao Ren's expression darkened, and he said to Wang Dong.
"You, get out first!"
Huh?
Wang Dong was a bit bewildered. He didn't understand the sudden "anger" from his senior.
However, since the senior had spoken, he dared not disobey.
"Alright, alright, Senior. I'll take my leave then!"
Saying this, Wang Dong gestured for the "Mother of Acacia Tree" to leave with him.
Hao Ren's majestic voice sounded again.
"Wait, the Acacia Tree stays. I have something to say to her!"
Hey?
Wang Dong looked at Hao Ren inexplicably.
What could the senior possibly want to say to a tree?
But soon, he relaxed.
The senior is indeed a senior. Awesome and formidable, having "common ground" even with a tree. Truly a role model for us.
"You stay here, listen carefully to the senior, respect him, revere him, don't anger him, understand?"
Wang Dong earnestly instructed the "Mother of Acacia Tree" and, after receiving her assurance, finally left the cave.
After Wang Dong left, the cave returned to silence.
Hao Ren looked at the "Mother of Acacia Tree."
Under his intense gaze, the "Mother of Acacia Tree" felt uncomfortable and lowered her head.
Damn, she's so beautiful!
Cough, cough...
Hao Ren cleared his throat inwardly and quickly got to the point.
"Do you like Wang Dong?"
Hao Ren didn't beat around the bush, going straight to the topic.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" never dreamed that Hao Ren would say such things to her.
Her exquisite face instantly turned red, and her head drooped even lower.
Hao Ren continued.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't like you!"
This statement was like a bucket of cold water poured over her.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" trembled, her expression becoming mournful.
Alas!
What's the use of me liking my master, if my master doesn't like me!
Just as she was wallowing in self-pity, Hao Ren flipped his hand, tossing over two small jade bottles.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" instinctively reached out and caught them.
She blinked her large, watery eyes, looking at Hao Ren with confusion. She didn't understand what this meant.
Hao Ren smiled slightly, a smile that was difficult to describe. It was profound and unfathomable, with a hint of roguishness, and within that roguishness, a touch of nobility.
It was very complex, too complex...
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" was completely bewildered.
At this moment, Hao Ren's voice slowly sounded.
"This is medicine, medicine to cure Wang Dong's problem of not liking you!"
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" widened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes were watery and incredibly bright, like the "Kazan Lai big eyes" in anime. Very beautiful.
Hao Ren exclaimed, "I can't handle it!"
He quickly averted his gaze, maintaining his "senior's aloof demeanor," and said solemnly.
"Wang Dong not liking you is a sickness! This sickness can be treated with medicine! Remember, take one pill I give you every night. Ten pills are one course of treatment. After two courses, I guarantee the illness will be cured!"
Hao Ren's words had a distinct flair of a street hawker selling fake medicine.
However, the "Mother of Acacia Tree" was stunned and awed.
Her "Kazan Lai big eyes" shone with light, filled with longing and anticipation for love.
Clearly, she believed Hao Ren's words.
The "Mother of Acacia Tree" bowed repeatedly to Hao Ren, expressing her gratitude.
"Do good deeds daily."
Mm-hmm, doing good deeds daily made her so happy!
Hao Ren felt a sense of accomplishment. He chuckled and instructed the "Mother of Acacia Tree."
"Remember, the most crucial principle for treating this illness is: familiarity breeds affection!"
That's right, it's "familiarity" breeding affection!
Whether the "Mother of Acacia Tree" understood the central idea or not, she carefully put away the two small jade bottles, clearly intending to "drug" Wang Dong upon her return, oops... "treat" him, "treat" him!
Hao Ren smiled with great satisfaction.
"Go now, I wish you success!"
After the "Mother of Acacia Tree" happily left, Hao Ren was alone in the cave.
His palm slowly opened, revealing two slips of paper.
These two slips of paper were the ones he had just peeled off from the small jade bottles.
The two slips of paper were identical, both bearing five large characters: "Innate Harmony Pill."
That's right, what Hao Ren had given the "Mother of Acacia Tree" was the "Innate Harmony Pill."
This thing, once consumed, ensures "everlasting happiness," oops...
In short, after taking the "Innate Harmony Pill," happiness would be overflowing, and love would be abundant!
Mm, this time the "Mother of Acacia Tree" should be able to win over Wang Dong!
Helping others is the source of happiness. Doing good deeds daily is truly joyful!
Hao Ren smiled happily.
He looked at the "Acacia Tree Leaves" gifted to him by the "Mother of Acacia Tree," his eyes lighting up. Suddenly, he had another good idea.
If he were to add "Acacia Tree Leaves" to the elixir refining formula, would the "Innate Harmony Pill" become even more potent...
Heh heh heh, it's worth a try!
