Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 361 - 361 454 Love Herb_1

361: Chapter 454 Love Herb_1 361: Chapter 454 Love Herb_1 “It’s getting more and more interesting,” Lu Chuan murmured to himself as he watched Shen Wansan with a keen eye.

“Let’s first see what this wealthiest man really intends to do.”

When Shen Wansan approached the crowd, he squeezed out a smile and spoke loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am thrilled that you could attend today’s dance.

Your presence is an honor to me, and naturally, I wouldn’t want you to have made the trip for nothing.”

“I believe you’ve all heard before coming that I would display a four-hundred-year spirit medicine at the dance.

Many of you must be curious about what this Spiritual Medicine looks like.

Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush.

I shall present this Spiritual Medicine to everyone right now.”

After finishing his words, he gently clapped his hands.

Several attendants rolled a rectangular crystal box towards them.

On top of the box, there was a pot with very lush, blue, herbaceous plants with tiny, pink flowers scattered on them, somewhat like baby’s breath, but quite different.

Lu Chuan’s spirits lifted immediately as he looked at the Spiritual Medicine, feeling the tremendous power it contained, and confirmed indeed that it was a four-hundred-year spirit herb.

The Spiritual Medicine emitted twinkling lights around it, resembling pollen, falling on people.

The couples present reacted immediately upon contact with the pollen: the men became excited, and the women’s cheeks turned red.

Many couples instinctively snuggled together; some exchanged glances, then instinctively embraced and started kissing sweetly.

As the people pushing the crystal box passed by Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang, the twinkling lights fell on them, causing the two to react.

Lu Chuan only felt a peculiar force enter his body, and then his heart yearned intensely for a profound love, an impulse to find someone to have a passionate romance with.

He turned to look at Gu Xiaosang, who at that moment had crimson creeping up her cheeks and just happened to look his way.

Their gazes met, and a strange feeling arose, causing both their hearts to race, filled with the urge to kiss and even the impulse to mate.

Gu Xiaosang could not help but move two steps towards Lu Chuan, tilting her head up expectantly at him, her lips slightly parting.

Lu Chuan, sensing Gu Xiaosang’s request for a kiss, reached out to grab her shoulders and leaned in to kiss her.

However, they both quickly realized something was off and hurriedly separated.

Gu Xiaosang’s face was red as if burning, and she dared not look directly into Lu Chuan’s eyes, nervously explaining, “Don’t get the wrong idea, I didn’t want to kiss you at all, I have no idea how I ended up like this.”

Lu Chuan also became somewhat constrained and feigned calmness, “It’s that pot of flowers’ fault, this four-hundred-year spirit herb seems to have some special effects.”

He looked at the couples who had suddenly become very intimate and knew for sure it was the result of the twinkling lights from before.

However, he could tell that it wasn’t any kind of sorcery, because the power that had engulfed him in romantic emotions was very pure; it must be the unique effect of the four-hundred-year spirit herb.

The older the Spiritual Medicine, the more mystical it becomes, so it was quite normal for a four-hundred-year spirit herb to exhibit special effects.

Gu Xiaosang wasn’t as analytical as Lu Chuan.

She just couldn’t understand how she could have felt attracted to the annoying man next to her.

And seeing the couples around her embracing or kissing, while she and Lu Chuan just stood upright, maintaining a distance, made her feel somewhat uneasy.

She subconsciously leaned towards Lu Chuan.

Shen Wansan, seeing everyone’s reactions, showed a smile and said, “You all must have felt something different just now.

Don’t you feel that you love your other halves even more?”

People nodded in agreement.

Shen Wansan smiled, “The reason you are experiencing this is due to the influence of this four-hundred-year spirit herb.

This Spiritual Medicine is called the Love Herb, and the twinkling light it emits instills a longing for love and makes those who are already in love fall even deeper for each other.”

Everyone then suddenly realized.

Lu Chuan also understood why he had had that reaction and turned to Gu Xiaosang with a smile, “So that’s the effect of the Spiritual Medicine.

I thought you had fallen for me there.”

Gu Xiaosang frantically said, “Don’t flatter yourself here, how could I possibly like you!

It’s all just an illusion!”

Lu Chuan saw Gu Xiaosang’s vigorous reaction and chuckled, saying nothing more.

Shen Wansan continued, “The reason this dance is solely for couples to participate is precisely because of the characteristics of the Love Herb.

You couples influenced by the Love Herb will only become more deeply in love.

But if those who aren’t couples came, and by some mishap there were people who brought someone else’s wife, it could mistakenly plunge you into love, which would indeed be a sin.”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Only Gu Xiaosang glared fiercely at Lu Chuan; she felt she was the one who had been wronged.

After all, there’s a good chance she could become Lu Chuan’s future aunt by marriage, yet now she’s here pretending to be his girlfriend, and even nearly sought a kiss under the influence of the Love Herb—what if something truly happened, how would she face her sister afterwards!

“I must have been out of my mind to agree to pretend to be the girlfriend of this jerk.

Once I get off this cruise ship, I must demand some compensation for my mental anguish, or else it would be letting him off too easily!” Gu Xiaosang grumbled fiercely to herself.

Lu Chuan did not notice Gu Xiaosang’s expression but instead kept his eyes fixed on the crystal box beneath the Love Herb pot.

Logically speaking, to showcase the Love Herb, one would only need to carry out the flowerpot.

Now, placing it on such a long box makes it look somewhat strange.

Moreover, there’s not really a problem with allowing only couples to attend this dance party because of the Love Herb, but the life destiny test is quite baffling.

After all, although the Love Herb is a four-hundred-year spirit medicine, it’s certainly not the case that only those with a good fate are qualified to get close to it.

Adding to that, signs of Shen Wansan being possessed by a resentful spirit made Lu Chuan feel even more that tonight’s dance was far from simple.

However, since Shen Wansan had yet to show any abnormalities, Lu Chuan could only continue to watch for changes.

After introducing the characteristics of the Love Herb, Shen Wansan went on to say, “As I was saying earlier, I wouldn’t let you all come here for nothing.

It would be quite stingy if I only allowed you to admire this Love Herb.”

“So I’ve also prepared a gift for all the loving couples in attendance.”

“The Love Herb is a spiritual medicine that has grown for over four hundred years and naturally possesses some extraordinary properties.

Every morning, there are a few drops of dew on its leaves, and influenced by the Love Herb, these droplets turn into Divine Water that can make two people love each other forever.”

“I’ve used this dew to make some drinks, and everyone here will receive one.

As long as you look at the one you love and drink this beverage, you will be able to love each other forever, regardless of wealth or poverty, life or death, without betraying one another.”

As he said this, the attendants had already started distributing the drinks to everyone.

Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang naturally received theirs as well.

Gu Xiaosang anxiously looked at Lu Chuan and said, “I can put up with pretending to be your girlfriend, but I absolutely cannot drink this, and neither can you!”

Lu Chuan teasingly looked at Gu Xiaosang, “What’s the matter, are you that afraid of falling in love with me?”

Gu Xiaosang pleaded urgently, “You don’t understand!

If we drink this, it will make us…

Anyway, we absolutely cannot drink it!”

Lu Chuan came closer to Gu Xiaosang and said, “You seem a bit off, are you hiding something from me?

Tell me quickly, if you don’t, I might just drink this.”

After speaking, he pretended to drink the beverage.

“Don’t you dare drink it!” Gu Xiaosang exclaimed frantically, conflicted over whether or not to reveal the marriage arrangement with her sister.

At that moment, Shen Wansan announced loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, let us raise our glasses.

Tonight, the Love Herb will witness your love, and you will become the most affectionate couples in the whole world!”

Lu Chuan said to Gu Xiaosang with a smile, “Did you hear that?

He said to raise our glasses.

It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t drink.”

Then he lifted the glass to his lips.

Gu Xiaosang reached out hastily to stop Lu Chuan, “If you dare to drink that, you’ll be the most shameless person in the world, and you’ll just wait to be scorned by everyone!”

Lu Chuan thought to himself how formidable her identity must be for liking her to lead to being scorned by the world?

He naturally did not plan to drink the beverage; he only wanted to tease Gu Xiaosang a bit.

However, during their tussle, he suddenly felt an evil aura emanating from the drink.

This made him frown, and he quickly used his Divine Sense to probe the contents of the glass.

Upon detecting the abnormality inside, his expression abruptly changed, and he quickly came to understand many things.

He urgently looked around at everyone, who were all raising their drinks, ready to have a taste.

In his urgency, Lu Chuan suddenly shouted, “Don’t drink it!”

He infused his shout with Spiritual Power, which had a very strong deterrent effect, making everyone shake and hastily stop what they were doing.

Shen Wansan frowned, looked over at Lu Chuan, and asked, “My friend, what do you mean?

If you don’t want to continue being affectionate with your girlfriend, you can choose not to drink, but is it not a bit too much to stop others from drinking?”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Continue being affectionate?

If everyone really drinks what you’ve prepared, I’m afraid they will lose their lives.

Then, what will be left to cherish?”

Everyone’s faces changed, and many were frightened enough to promptly put their drinks aside, daring not to touch them again.

Shen Wansan became visibly agitated, glaring intently at Lu Chuan, and shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about!

This drink is made with the dew from the Love Herb, drinking it will only make people more confident in love, how could it possibly take someone’s life!”

Laughing, Lu Chuan said, “The dew of the Love Herb might indeed strengthen one’s belief in love, but the Yin evil energy you’ve added will definitely take people’s lives!”

With that, he forcefully threw the glass onto the ground.

As the drink spilled, an evil black aura wafted out, corroding a deep pit into the deck.
