Chapter 54: The Lord of the Forest, Bribery

[Normal task: Please comfort the emotions of "Forest Lord" Xiao Wu, so that she can sleep well and have a good dream.

Mission completion reward: Shared "Forest Lord" aura. 】

"Forest Lord? Forest Lord Halo, what is this?"

Chu Zhao was confused when he heard the unfamiliar words, but fortunately there was an explanation on the system.

[Halo of the Lord of the Forest: When you are in the forest, this halo will be activated immediately to bring you good luck. When you encounter danger, there is a high probability that you will be able to escape danger.

The Forest Lord's aura can also enhance the planting attributes, and you are just one step away from becoming the king of farming. 】

"This halo is shared. So Xiao Wu is the Lord of the Forest, and has this halo that can save her from danger in the forest? Then how did she end up committing suicide in the Xingdou Great Forest?"

Chu Zhao’s first reaction was that this halo was unreliable and couldn’t even protect Xiao Wu.

But she soon remembered the details of the sacrifice. At that time, Tang San originally wanted to keep Xiao Wu alive and hold back the people from the Spirit Hall himself.

Moved by this, Xiao Wu, who was unwilling to watch Tang San die, offered herself as a sacrifice to become Tang San's sixth spirit ring.

"So this halo is actually still useful, but it's not as powerful as love?"

Chu Zhao shook her head. For the sake of this halo, she should still do the task. If she was going to do it, she had to do it perfectly.

"Zhao Zhao, why are you silent?"

Xiao Wu was holding the box, with a necklace around her neck. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Chu Zhao.

"Xiao Wu."

Chu Zhao called out softly. When she came to her senses, she found that the task had not yet been completed. She knew that Xiao Wu was still in fear. She didn't know the specific effect of the fragrance pill.

"You may find it hard to accept what I said, but you promise me that you will stay calm, okay?"

Although he said so, Chu Zhao, for the sake of safety, immediately activated his life domain when he entered the room to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"What are you trying to say? Why do you look so serious?"

Xiao Wu didn't know what Chu Zhao wanted to say at this time, and was still immersed in the joy of receiving the gift.

But the next moment, her smile froze on her face, and she became completely stiff, unable to react at all. Her heart was cold and she was extremely frightened.

"I know you are a soul beast. I knew it the first time I saw you."

"Don't be nervous. I didn't intend to harm you. Otherwise, I would have had many opportunities to kill you or betray you, as you know. But I didn't do that. Doesn't that prove something?"

Having said this, the furious Xiao Wu finally calmed down a little, but there was still panic and fear in her eyes when she looked at Chu Zhao. Combined with her expression as she had just cried for a long time, she looked really pitiful.

"From the time I discovered your identity until now, I have no intention of killing you. On the contrary, I have been trying to find a way to help you hide your soul beast aura."

Chu Zhao's explanation was so sincere that no one would doubt the truthfulness of his words.

"Can this incense pill hide the soul beast aura on me?"

Xiao Wu's voice was much more relaxed now. She sniffed the fragrance coming from her neck and felt at peace in her heart.

"Not only this, but also the Acacia Heartbroken Red from before. In fact, I know that fairy grass, and I also know that it can help soul beasts conceal their breath.

That’s why I brought it here specially, hoping that you would recognize it as your master, but I didn’t expect…”

Chu Zhao sighed as he spoke.

When he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye, he discovered that the rabbit had actually begun to be moved, with tears in its eyes, and was looking at him intently.

"Because I couldn't pick the Acacia Heartbreak Red, you made this incense pill for me. You must have put a lot of effort into it. I have never heard of this kind of thing before."

Xiao Wu held the box in one hand and picked up the golden sachet in the other. She was so moved that she couldn't express it in words.

"Yes, I have developed this incense pill many times and spent a lot of materials to make it. One pill can last for a month. There are twenty pills in it, which can last for twenty months."

Chu Zhao paused and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have more materials. I have been collecting materials for a long time and can only make these twenty. I will have to think of a new way when I use them up."

"That's enough."

Xiao Wu burst into tears as she spoke, and suddenly threw herself towards Chu Zhao, stretching out her hands and hugging Chu Zhao tightly.

"Thank you Zhaozhao, thank you..."

At this moment, she seemed to be able to only say thank you and it was difficult for her to say anything else.

She could feel that the scented pill was truly useful.

How could she not be moved when there was someone who didn't reject her identity as a soul beast and protected her so attentively?

"Thank you for not exposing my identity as a soul beast and not rejecting me as an alien."

"Thank you for taking so much trouble to protect me. I will never forget this kindness."

"You are the best person to me. No one is better to me than you, and no one is more important to me than you."

Xiao Wu was crying as she spoke, her tears kept flowing and soaked Chu Zhao's clothes.

"Alright, alright, you've been crying for so long, if you keep crying, you'll lose your eyes!"

In order not to be overwhelmed by tears, Chu Zhao hurriedly comforted Xiao Wu.

But her comfort was useless, Xiao Wu cried even harder, as if she wanted to vent all her fear and grievances, crying until she was out of breath.

Chu Zhao had no choice but to stiffen his body and act as a human pillow.

It was not until Xiao Wu stopped crying and her breathing became long and deep, and the task completion prompt from the farming and health system rang in his mind, that Chu Zhao knew it was finally over.

After putting Xiao Wu on the bed and covering her with a blanket, she left the same way she came without disturbing anyone.

When Xiao Wu woke up in bed the next day, she almost thought she had a dream the day before.

The fragrance coming from her neck and the box on the bedside table reminded Xiao Wu that this was not a dream. Chu Zhao really came last night and gave her reassurance.

"Zhao Zhao..."

Smelling the floral fragrance coming from her neck, Xiao Wu cried and laughed, feeling deeply moved.

Chu Zhao never knew that Xiao Wu was so easy to bribe. A box of scented pills and a few words were enough to make Xiao Wu put her first in her heart and be willing to do anything for her.

"Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu! What's wrong with you, Xiao Wu?"

Tang San, who had been worried about Xiao Wu at the door, heard Xiao Wu crying and laughing, and immediately became anxious, calling Xiao Wu through the door.

Just when Tang San was about to break in, the door opened from the inside.

"Mistress, I'm fine."

She said she was fine, but her hoarse voice and red and swollen eyes from crying for so long didn't look like she was fine.

It would be strange if Tang San believed it, he immediately became more anxious, "Is the injury not healed yet? Or is he feeling uncomfortable again?"
