366: Chapter 350 The Method of Picking Fruits_1 366: Chapter 350 The Method of Picking Fruits_1 Lu Chuan looked puzzled and asked, “What’s going on?

Why won’t it let me pick the fruit?”

Tower Spirit replied somewhat speechlessly, “A medicinal herb that has grown for over four hundred years has already developed a unique spirit wisdom; otherwise, it wouldn’t be called Spiritual Medicine.

Since it has spirit wisdom, it has its own preferences, just like humans.

The fruit it bears naturally will only be picked by someone it favors.”

“Uh…

It doesn’t like me?” Lu Chuan had never imagined a medicinal herb could have preferences, and his face was full of surprise.

With a look of disdain, Tower Spirit said, “You’re not Mr.

Popular, so why should it favor you?”

Scratching his head a bit embarrassed, Lu Chuan said, “So, how do I make it like me?”

Tower Spirit stated, “As its name suggests, the Love Herb naturally has an endless fondness for love.

As long as a couple shows affection in front of it, they usually gain its favor.

By that time, it will naturally reveal its fruits for them to pick.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “So I need to find a couple to show affection in front of it?”

“To be precise,” Tower Spirit said, “whether they’re a couple or not, as long as there are intimate actions, such as kissing or hugging, it will react.”

“Essentially, even if two strangers suddenly kiss, their heart rates will speed up and breathing will quicken.

At such times, they will secrete an energy that promotes the growth of the Love Herb.

As long as it absorbs this energy, it will let down its guard.”

“I see…” Lu Chuan pondered, “then I’ll wait to pick its fruit later.”

“You’d better not wait,” Tower Spirit warned, “the fruit of the Love Herb can only last for three days before it rots, so you must pick it before it spoils and preserve it with a special method; otherwise, the fruit will have been wasted.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “It rots that quickly?”

“That’s probably what you humans say about the short shelf life of love,” Tower Spirit remarked.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and felt there was some truth to the words, then began to ponder how to gain the Love Herb’s favor and thus pick its fruit.

At this moment, Gu Xiaosang finished her bath, dressed in pajamas, walked out of the bathroom, and was about to go to her bedroom.

As she passed the sofa, she even gave Lu Chuan a glare.

Watching Gu Xiaosang, an idea suddenly popped into Lu Chuan’s mind.

A mischievous smile appeared on his face, and he stood up to block Gu Xiaosang’s path.

Gu Xiaosang looked wary, staring at Lu Chuan she asked, “What are you doing?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “I want to ask a favor of you.”

Gu Xiaosang quickly covered her chest with her hands, nervously asking, “What…

what favor?”

With a slight smile, Lu Chuan scooped Gu Xiaosang up in a princess carry.

Gu Xiaosang was startled and began to struggle, shouting, “What are you doing!

Put me down right now.

If you dare do anything to me, I…

I promise you’ll regret it!”

Seeing her fierce resistance, Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “Hey, don’t overreact.

I’m not going to do anything to you, I just want you to cooperate with me.”

Gu Xiaosang didn’t listen and screamed, “You jerk, beast, pervert!

I will never cooperate with you in that kind of thing, put me down immediately!”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes and said, “If you listen to me, I promise not to touch you, but if you don’t behave, I’ll throw you on the bed and ravage you for three days and nights.

Take your pick.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaosang immediately calmed down and looked at Lu Chuan nervously, asking, “What…

what exactly do you want to do?”

Lu Chuan explained, “I want to pick the fruit of the Love Herb, but it will only expose the fruit if it takes a liking to someone first.

To win its favor is actually quite simple, just show some affection in front of it.

I want you to pretend to be affectionate with me, to deceive the Love Herb.”

Gu Xiaosang felt a tightness in her heart and asked, “Then…

how do we show affection?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “We just need to hug like this for a while.

The Love Herb has spirituality, but hardly any spirit wisdom, and it’s very easy to fool.”

Gu Xiaosang was somewhat skeptical, “Really, just hug for a while?”

Lu Chuan said, “Don’t worry, I’ve consulted a professional, and there’s definitely no problem.”

That professional was naturally the Tower Spirit, which had mentioned that kisses and hugs both counted as showing affection.

Hence, Lu Chuan believed that hugging Gu Xiaosang for a while would make the Love Herb grow fond of them.

Gu Xiaosang was dubious but, considering her powers were sealed and worrying that Lu Chuan might truly do something to her, she agreed reluctantly, “Fine…

okay, but let’s be clear, it’s just a hug for a while, you’re not allowed to do anything else.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Relax, I’m not that shameless.”

He then hugged Gu Xiaosang and sat down on the sofa, facing the Love Herb on the table.

Gu Xiaosang felt embarrassed and nervous, as it was the first time she was being held like this by someone, and that someone was her sister’s fiancé.

And for some reason, she felt a strange excitement inside, her heartbeat and breathing quickened, leaving her a bit at a loss and her cheeks blushing a shade of red.

Lu Chuan didn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts; of course, holding a girl like this did cause some reactions, which must be what the Tower Spirit referred to as the changes brought by intimate actions—a normal phenomenon.

Soon, the Love Herb in front of them began to emit specks of light that settled upon Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang.

Clearly, the embracing, this intimate gesture, was effective, causing the Love Herb to absorb energy and grow fond of the two of them.

Lu Chuan became excited, waiting for the Love Herb to reveal its fruit so he could quickly pick it.

At that moment, he felt the same burst of yearning for love that had welled up in him on the ship.

He knew it was the influence of the starlight released by the Love Herb, so he forcefully suppressed these feelings.

Gu Xiaosang’s willpower was clearly not as strong as his.

As the feeling emerged, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, looked up eagerly into his eyes, as if yearning for something.

Lu Chuan ignored Gu Xiaosang’s gaze, knowing that everything would be fine if they just got through this, especially since he had promised not to do anything else to her.

But after a while, the Love Herb continued to release the starlight without exposing the fruit.

Lu Chuan got somewhat impatient, thinking to himself, we’ve been hugging for so long, why aren’t you bringing out the fruit quickly, don’t push it too far.

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than a strange power acted upon them, causing their bodies to press even closer together uncontrollably.

Then Lu Chuan lowered his head to look at Gu Xiaosang, and she raised hers to look back at him.

Both their eyes shimmered with the yearning for love, and then they slowly leaned in and their lips met in a kiss.

The Love Herb witnessed this scene, its leaves rustling as if celebrating the long-awaited sight, brimming with joy.

Finally, it presented the fruit in front of the two of them.
