Su Mo answered without even thinking.
Tang Wulin fell silent instantly, looking dejected.
Although he didn't know what the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass was, Tang Wulin knew without a doubt that since Su Mo called it a good thing, it must be more precious than the ice crystal bracelet he was wearing.
Seeing Tang Wulin about to leave looking dejected, Su Mo quickly grabbed him, "This is for you!"
As Su Mo spoke, she placed a wooden gift box into Tang Wulin's hand.
"Do I have one too?"
Tang Wulin stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he looked at the gift box Su Mo handed him.
Su Mo smiled slightly, "Of course, everyone in Class Zero has one."
Tang Wulin smiled upon hearing this, a very happy smile.
Tang Wulin kept reassuring himself that Su Mo hadn't given the gift to Gu Yue alone.
Seeing Tang Wulin smile, Su Mo also smiled.
Because Gu Yue is now too weak, Su Mo has to change his attitude towards Tang Wulin again.
Chapter 154 Magnetism
"Is Gu Yue currently refining the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass?"
After calming down, Tang Wulin looked at Su Mo with some uncertainty.
"Ok!"
Su Mo nodded.
"Then I won't disturb Gu Yue any longer!"
After learning that there was no special relationship between Su Mo and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin's expression softened considerably, and even his tone of voice became more relaxed.
Tang Wulin almost thought that Gu Yue had fallen for Su Mo when Gu Yue pulled Su Mo away from Tianhai Stadium. He felt worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
"Su Mo, thank you for the gift!"
Hefting the heavy wooden box in his hand, Tang Wulin thanked Su Mo sincerely, even though he didn't know what was inside.
"You are welcome!"
Su Mo quickly waved his hand.
"What is Tang Wulin doing here?"
Just as Tang Wulin's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Gu Yue's head popped out.
"He's probably been provoked by me and wants to make up with you!"
Although Tang Wulin had been discreet enough in putting away the gift, he still couldn't hide it from Su Mo's eyes.
Gu Yue was speechless when she heard Su Mo say that Tang Wulin had come to apologize to her.
The moment Tang Wulin's identity as the son of the Sea God was exposed, it was already destined that she and Tang Wulin would be locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Not to mention that she herself had no feelings for Tang Wulin.
If she had even the slightest bit of affection for Tang Wulin, she wouldn't have let Zi Ji beat him half to death based on a mere guess.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yue suddenly looked at Su Mo, her eyes narrowed, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Tang Wulin is being very attentive to me. Aren't you, as his consort, even a little jealous?"
Su Mo replied without hesitation, "How could I not be jealous? But you behaved so perfectly that I couldn't find any reason to be jealous."
Although she knew Su Mo was just trying to comfort her, Gu Yue was still as happy as if she had eaten honey.
"That's pretty much it!"
Gu Yue nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on her pretty face.
"Here, take this. You can refine it later."
As Su Mo spoke, he tossed the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass from his storage ring to Gu Yue.
Is it necessary to take this so seriously?
"This is a good thing; refining it will greatly benefit your mental strength."
Seeing the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass that Su Mo threw over, a hint of surprise flashed across Gu Yue's face.
She had overheard the entire conversation between Su Mo and Tang Wulin from behind the door, but she never expected Su Mo to actually give her the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass. "Just consider it an early betrothal gift!"
Su Mo gently rubbed Gu Yue's fair face and teased her with a smile.
Upon hearing Su Mo say that this was a betrothal gift, Gu Yue's face flushed bright red, and she felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.
The Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass, though not as precious as immortal herbs, is still considered a top-tier spiritual item in the Douluo Continent.
Its effects of enhancing soul strength and physical power are practically tailor-made for spirit-type soul masters.
"This is a reward for you in advance!"
As Gu Yue spoke, she lightly pecked Su Mo's cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"That's so insincere!"
Su Mo complained, then pointed to the corner of his mouth, indicating that Gu Yue should kiss him there.
"You think too much!"
Gu Yue refused Su Mo's request to kiss her without even thinking about it.
Kissing is something Su Mo simply can't do unless the atmosphere is right or she takes the initiative herself.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately looked at Gu Yue with feigned pitifulness and said in a resentful tone, "But they've already accepted my betrothal gifts!"
"Just this once, it won't happen next time!"
Faced with Su Mo's intense gaze, Gu Yue knew Su Mo was doing it on purpose, but she still softened.
Gu Yue gently bit her lip, as if she had made a momentous decision, closed her eyes, and blushed as she approached Su Mo.
Seeing Gu Yue's shy expression, Su Mo didn't think twice before grabbing her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.
"ah!"
Gu Yue was startled by Su Mo's sudden action and let out a gasp, but her mouth was quickly covered.
The moment their lips touched, the whole world seemed to press the pause button.
Su Mo only reluctantly let go of Gu Yue when Gu Yue's face turned red from being unable to breathe.
Looking at Gu Yue's face, which had turned red from holding her breath, Su Mo grinned mischievously.
Seeing this, Gu Yue hurriedly took a step back, too shy to meet Su Mo's gaze. "Um, I... I'll go refine the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass first!"
After saying that, Gu Yue scurried into the room as if fleeing for her life.
The moment Gu Yue gently closed the door, Su Mo touched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but chuckle.
Giving the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass to Gu Yue was entirely due to a habit formed in the Naruto world.
Because he had been dealing with cunning old foxes like Orochimaru and Sasori in the Naruto world, acting out a whole drama was practically ingrained in Su Mo's bones.
However, Su Mo would never say something so tactless to Gu Yue.
After teasing Gu Yue a little, Su Mo walked towards his residence.
……
When they returned to their residence, Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi were no longer there.
However, Su Mo didn't care about these things. At the moment he received Cupid's blessing, Su Mo felt as if two inexplicable powers had appeared in his body.
The feeling was strange; it was clearly the first time such power had appeared within his body.
Yet I instinctively know how to use it, as if I've used it countless times before.
Suddenly, Su Mo seemed to realize something, and immediately raised her hand with her breath in concentration, pointing directly at the metal cutlery on the table.
But no matter how much Su Mo urged this power, the metal cutlery on the table did not budge.
"Isn't it Magnet Release?"
Looking at the untouched metal cutlery on the dining table, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Do I really need to collect the blessings of all eight gods to awaken my bloodline limit?
Unconvinced by the superstition, Su Mo decided to use another power.
As Su Mo unleashed another force, the metal cutlery on the table floated up as if drawn by some kind of force.
Then, under Su Mo's mental control, the metal tableware began to twist and deform until it finally turned into a lump of scrap metal.
Looking at the metal tableware that had turned into a pile of scrap metal, Su Mo showed a hint of doubt.
Manipulating metal is clearly the effect of magnetic escape.
But the question is, what about the first force I just used?
Since it appears alongside Magnet Release, it means that it is also a bloodline limit.
Could it be that besides Magnet Release, he has unexpectedly awakened other bloodline limits with unknown effects?
But soon Su Mo seemed to realize something and slapped himself.
The first force should also be Magnetism Release, but in a different form.
Chapter 155 The Power Bank Plan
In the Naruto world, there are two types of Magnet Release.
One type is Magnet Release, created by the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, which allows for free manipulation of metal;
Another type is the Magnet Release, developed by Troy, a Jonin of Kumogakure, which can magnetize any object.
However, due to limitations in strength, the latter's fame in the ninja world is far less than that of the Magnet Release from Sunagakure.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Su Mo narrowed his eyes, already having made a bold guess in his mind.
