Douluo: Reincarnated As Dai Weisi

Chapter 34: The King of Plants — The Mutated Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit

"Hmm… that's true."

Seeing that Davis was determined to buy the girl, Zhu Zhuyun no longer objected. She also began to wonder what kind of person the girl might grow into in the future.

"Six hundred thousand once, any other VIPs want to raise the bid?" the host asked again. But once the crowd realized Davis was participating in this auction item as well, they all went quiet.

It would be foolish to offend the Star Luo Empire's Crown Prince over a little girl with a supposedly useless martial spirit.

And so, Davis won the bid at just six hundred thousand gold soul coins.

"Six hundred thousand, going once… going twice… sold!"

Bang!

With the host's final call, the little girl became Davis's property. From that moment on, he had complete authority over her—should he wish, he could completely destroy her.

Before long, the girl was brought into Davis's private room by the auction staff. Her shackles were removed, and the cage was opened.

One staff member threatened her harshly, "Remember this well! From now on, this man is your master. Being chosen by His Highness, the First Prince, is a blessing you won't get even in eight lifetimes! Others would die for this chance!"

Then the staff brought her before Davis and grinned fawningly.

"Your Highness, here she is. What are you waiting for, girl? Kneel to His Royal Highness the First Prince!"

The little girl was clearly frightened and immediately moved to kneel, but at that moment, a large hand held her shoulders firmly, preventing her from going down.

She looked up, surprised to find Davis standing right beside her. Without her even noticing, he had stepped close and now held her collar gently.

Davis smiled softly, "Come now, she's just a child. Why be so harsh?"

He gently ran his fingers through her dirty, tangled hair without any sign of disgust, and then turned to the staff.

"There's nothing more for you to do. You may leave," he said flatly.

"Yes, sir!"

The staff quickly bowed and retreated.

Once they were gone, Davis took the little girl's hand and led her to sit on the sofa inside the private room. He stared at her for a moment, and Zhu Zhuyun and the others also turned their attention to her.

Being watched by so many people, the little girl was extremely nervous.

After a moment, Davis smiled, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Davis. From now on, you belong to me. You can call me 'Your Highness' or just 'Brother'—whichever makes you comfortable. What about you? What's your name?"

"…Anna… Anna…" the little girl said timidly.

"Anna, huh? That's a lovely name."

Seeing her small body still trembling, Davis chuckled, "There's no need to be scared. From now on, you'll live with me. These sisters here—don't worry—they won't bully you.

And if they do, I'll make sure they can't get out of bed for ten days."

Before he could finish, Zhu Zhuyun pinched his waist sharply.

"Ah! Ow! Zhuyun! That hurts!"

"What nonsense are you saying? Can't you be serious for once? Or should I just take Anna home with me?"

"Oh come on, we're husband and wife. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is… still yours."

Davis grinned and immediately took Anna's hand.

"Alright, Nana, let's go home. We'll get you a hot bath, some delicious food, and starting tomorrow—I'll teach you how to cultivate. Understand?"

"Mm!" Anna nodded shyly.

And so, the group left the auction house and returned to the prince's mansion. When they arrived, Li Hu came out to greet them.

"Welcome back, Your Highness!"

He bowed and then noticed Anna beside Davis, his expression puzzled.

"Your Highness… who is this girl?"

"Uncle Li, allow me to introduce you. This is Anna, a girl with innate soul power of level nine. She'll be living with us from now on. Please arrange for a maid to bathe her, dress her in clean clothes, and prepare a large meal."

"Level nine innate soul power—higher than Your Highness?"

Li Hu immediately realized the importance of the matter and quickly called the maids to take Anna away for her bath and meal.

Afterward, Davis gave another order.

"Uncle Li, please have all the books related to plant-based martial spirits in the mansion brought to my room."

"Yes, Your Highness. So the girl's martial spirit is plant-type?"

"Correct," Davis nodded. "She has level nine innate soul power—perfect potential to become a Titled Douluo. Her martial spirit is quite unusual. I need to figure out the right training method so I don't waste her talent."

"I understand."

Li Hu immediately went to collect every plant martial spirit book in the mansion for Davis to study that night.

---

The night passed quickly. The next morning, Anna woke up around ten o'clock, wearing a fresh pink dress. She stood quietly before Davis.

The two walked to the garden in the courtyard.

Davis smiled, "Come on, Nana. Show me your martial spirit."

"Okay, Brother!"

Anna nodded and then released her Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit. It looked like a mix of weeds from the roadside, green onions in a field, and unripe wheat stalks. Davis couldn't recognize the plant at all.

But as her martial spirit emerged, something amazing happened:

The surrounding weeds swayed without wind, as though drawn toward her—wanting to uproot themselves and crawl to her side.

Davis narrowed his eyes, murmuring,

"The Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit… could it be a martial spirit that controls all plants?

Nana, has this happened before when you released your spirit?"

"Yes, Brother." Anna nodded with her delicate voice.

"Every time I release my martial spirit, the grass and trees on the roadside feel really familiar to me. Like… like I've known them forever."

"…A familiar connection with plants?"

Davis thought silently. "That sounds a bit like the Blue Silver Emperor, but the Blue Silver Emperor only has affinity with Blue Silver Grass. Could it be… a mutated martial spirit?"

He asked again, "Nana, do you know what martial spirits your parents have?"

"My father's martial spirit is Thorns, and my mother's is Lily."

Davis was taken aback. "Both are plant-type martial spirits?"

"Yes. And so were my grandparents, and even all the villagers in my hometown. Everyone had plant-based martial spirits!"

"They're all plant-type?"

Suddenly, Davis shot up from his chair. His sudden excitement startled Anna.

But he was beaming.

He had figured it out.

Just like Ma Hongjun, whose spirit mutated due to the inbreeding of poultry-type martial spirits, Anna's martial spirit was also a mutation!

In Ma Hongjun's case, his village only had bird-type spirits. As the villagers intermarried over generations, their martial spirits gradually fused and mutated, eventually giving rise to his Evil Fire Phoenix—a mutated beast spirit representing the king of birds.

Anna's case was the same.

Her village was full of plant-type martial spirits, and over many generations, this had led to the fusion and mutation of plant genes. Eventually, her martial spirit integrated the characteristics of hundreds of plant-type spirits, evolving into the Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit.

If the phoenix was the king of birds…

Then Anna's Hundred Herbs was the undisputed king of plants!
