Heartbroken Acacia.
A symbol of unwavering love.
Xiao Wu's eyes shimmered as she received this information. A poignant love story unfolded in her mind.
Legend had it…
A Flower Immortal from the Celestial Realm fell in love with a young man who tended flowers. She secretly left the Celestial Realm and descended to the mortal world to be with him, enjoying their passionate relationship. Sadly, their happiness didn't last. Eventually, the difference between a celestial being and a mortal became clear. The Flower Immortal was forced to return to the Celestial Realm, leaving the young man heartbroken and despondent.
Later, a wise person offered guidance. The Flower Immortal's true form was a Peony. If her Peony form were destroyed, she would lose her immortal body and fall into the mortal world, allowing them to reunite.
Although the young man loved his wife dearly, he couldn't bear to destroy the Peony. From then on, he devoted himself to tending the flowers, caring for them with utmost care. He wept day and night, his tears drying up, his heart breaking.
Finally, Heartbroken Acacia died of heartbreak. Before dying, it dripped blood onto the peony petals, turning them crimson. That's how the Heartbroken Acacia came to be!
After receiving the information Ye Qiu passed on.
Xiao Wu only felt a bit dizzy.
In her heart, this immortal herb wasn't just a gift; it was Ye Qiu's recognition of her.
He believed she could pick it, and he must really like her and not want to leave her.
"Ye Qiu, are you really going to give it to Sister Xiao Wu?" Xiao Wu stared blankly at Ye Qiu, she really liked this flower.
"Could my words ever deceive you?" Ye Qiu smiled slightly. Of course, he genuinely wanted to give this flower to the little rabbit. This way, even if he took her to other places in the future, her identity wouldn't be exposed.
But Ye Qiu was also a little worried.
Worried about whether Xiao Wu could successfully pick it.
Or perhaps, she might have been able to pick it originally. But after she learned about what happened between her and Dugu Yan, there was a thorn in her heart, and she couldn't pick it.
"I, I can definitely pick it!"
Sensing Ye Qiu's worry, Xiao Wu's watery eyes fixed on Ye Qiu, and she quickly expressed her determination, her small hands squeezing Ye Qiu's hand tightly, her gaze unwavering. "Ye Qiu...?"
Xiao Wu called out softly, looking at Ye Qiu, puzzled, as he withdrew his hand.
A flash of dazzling purple light flickered in Ye Qiu's eyes, and the world in his eyes became crystal clear. He could see Xiao Wu's true form clearly. Pink and tender, a pink rabbit still growing.
Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed red; she hastily covered her chest. Ye Qiu's gaze seemed to see through her.
Under Xiao Wu's strange gaze, Ye Qiu looked around, then closed his eyes to feel carefully.
In the Sunset Forest, Ye Qiu had also gained another ability: active perception, which he got from observing thousand-year snake-type soul beasts every day for over a month. It was similar to a thermal imager.
Then, after exploring the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, this ability increased further, combining with his spider-sense.
Right now, he was sensing his surroundings for the presence of strong individuals. The more powerful the soul force, the more conspicuous they were in Ye Qiu's perception.
He carefully checked the area.
Ye Qiu finally calmed his mind, a smile playing on his lips. Good, Tang Hao, that old man, isn't around. Who knows where he's off getting drunk again.
"Xiao Wu, come with me."
Ye Qiu stood up, happily saying to Xiao Wu, and walked out of the Seven Treasure Lodge.
"Ye Qiu... Wait for me."
Xiao Wu hurriedly followed, taking the initiative to hold Ye Qiu's hand, walking in sync, head slightly lowered, her face flushed, and closely following behind.
Leaving under the strange gazes of the other students from the Seventh Dorm.
It was the day of returning to school.
The main road of Notting Academy was bustling with people. The sun was blazing overhead. Students and teachers, weary from their journeys, were either busy unpacking or resting in their beds.
Xiao Wu clung tightly to Ye Qiu, feeling that even in the scorching sun, standing beside him brought a sense of coolness.
In fact, this was all thanks to the effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Ye Qiu's body and the area around him were naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.
Before long.
Ye Qiu led Xiao Wu to a corner of a classroom building.
At this time of day.
No one would likely come here. But to be safe, Ye Qiu thoroughly scanned the area to make sure, then released Xiao Wu.
"Alright, this is the place."
As the words fell, Ye Qiu patted the Ruyi Treasure Pouch at his waist, under Xiao Wu's expectant and curious gaze.
A ray of red light burst forth from the Ruyi Treasure Pouch and materialized in Ye Qiu's hand.
It was a crimson flower, much like a peony.
Beneath it was a peculiar stone. A slender branch was rooted in the stone, and at the tip of the branch, a few long, thin leaves formed a calyx.
The calyx cradled slender petals stained with crimson, forming a blooming, beautiful, and exquisite blood-red peony.
Xiao Wu's heart trembled. Her crimson eyes were filled with excitement, reflecting the shadow of the alluring red flower before her. She couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the slender petals twice, and then she couldn't help but exclaim,
"So beautiful."
"It really is beautiful."
Ye Qiu smiled gently, handing the Heartbroken Acacia floating in his hand to Xiao Wu.
"Try it～ Don't force it if you can't pick it. It's not your fault. I have other things I can give you."
"No, I can definitely pick it!"
Xiao Wu pouted, glanced at Ye Qiu, pursed her lips, and with a sweet taste in her throat, spat out a mouthful of blood onto the petals.
Flowers are extraordinary, and they choose their masters.
When picking the Heartbroken Acacia, the thoughts in your heart should be entirely of your beloved. If you have any distractions, even if you cough up blood and die, you won't be able to pick the flower.
At the bottom, the stone where the Heartbroken Acacia is rooted is called Wu Jue. Forcibly picking it will cause the medicinal properties of the celestial herb to be completely lost.
But, if it's safely plucked, as long as the flower stays with its owner, it will never wither.
Watching Xiao Wu's blood splatter onto the petals, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
When Xiao Wu's blood touched the Heartbroken Acacia, all the images that flashed through her mind were of Ye Qiu spanking her, bullying her, and accompanying her while they shopped, trained, and aimed to be the best.
She didn't want to leave Ye Qiu at all.
The blood-soaked flower swayed twice.
Under Ye Qiu's slightly surprised gaze, it fell into Xiao Wu's hand.
A genuine smile bloomed on Xiao Wu's face, like a child who had aced a test, her expression radiant, she happily said, "Ye Qiu! I... I picked it, I picked it!"
"I saw."
Ye Qiu gently embraced Xiao Wu, who was lightly bouncing, trying to snuggle into his arms. The Heartbroken Acacia in Xiao Wu's hand was as beautiful and stunning as she was.
Ye Qiu reached out and rubbed her head. Xiao Wu gently shook her head, enjoying Ye Qiu's touch.
"Now that you've picked it, eat it."
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
