In fact, from the very beginning, he planned to give one of the 'Acacia Heartbreak Red' plants to Biji.
He took a deep breath and walked up to Brigitte.
Upon closer inspection, Dongfang Jing noticed that Brigitte had faint dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.
He handed over the herb and said softly, "Master."
Upon seeing this, Brigitte clenched her hands, which were folded in front of her, even tighter.
She remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I...I think it won't work, um, let's forget about it." Her voice was hesitant. "Then just give me either the 'Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid' or the 'Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma'."
"this..."
Dongfang Jing was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Besides the legend of the Red Acacia Heartbreak Flower, which is said to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, it is also believed to undergo a complete transformation of the body.
If Brigitte takes it, she might truly ascend from an Emerald Swan to an Emerald Phoenix?
In the past, if Brigitte had clearly said no, Dongfang Jing would not have insisted.
This time, however, Dongfang Jing's motivation was not only for Biji, but also for his own selfish reasons.
Dongfang Jing stepped forward again, changing his approach, and said, "Please give it a try, this disciple... will not regret it!"
...
The tension between the master and apprentice was palpable.
Even the bystanders couldn't help but hold their breath.
Of course, even they themselves didn't know why they were holding their breath.
After another moment of silence, Brigitte pursed her lips, lowered her head, and never looked at Dongfang Jing.
As if confirming, she asked, "If you regret it, I won't help you."
"Um."
Upon receiving confirmation, Brigitte channeled her soul power and blood energy, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the flower petals.
At the same time, Dongfang Jing looked at another unclaimed 'Acacia Heartbreak Red' in his hand.
Thinking that since no one else could pick it anyway, I might as well pick it myself and keep it as a memento.
So he also spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the flower.
Time passed slowly.
Dongfang Jing's mind was filled with memories of his life with Biji in the Star Dou Great Forest.
He even began to dream about the future, imagining that after he cultivated diligently and became a god at level 100, he would take Brigitte to the realm of gods, give her a grand wedding, and then have a bunch of baby swans and teach them to play football.
Just as Dongfang Jing was immersed in the wonderful fantasy and dream of marrying Brigitte,
Suddenly, the hall doors were pushed open.
Wang Qiu'er, dressed in a beautiful wedding gown and with exquisite makeup, walked down the red carpet like a budding flower.
Behind Wang Qiu'er were A Yin, Xue Di, and Bing Di, all dressed in wedding gowns.
Dongfang Jing suffered cardiac arrest.
This scene startled him so much that he subconsciously thought he had been attacked by the enemy's illusion.
Unable to restrain himself, he summoned his martial soul and soul rings with all his might!
The neatly arranged objects in the living room were all shaken and swirled by the aura he exuded.
He didn't even get a clear look at the face of the last person following behind Hyotei, who was also wearing a wedding dress, before he suddenly opened his eyes and stumbled back two steps.
He was breathing heavily, still finding it hard to believe the images that had just flashed through his mind.
Looking again at the 'Heartbreak Red' in his hand, it was still firmly connected to Wu Jueshi and had not been removed by him.
Dongfang Jing turned his head and looked towards Biji.
On Brigitte's stunningly beautiful face, a variety of expressions shifted back and forth.
Tenderness, joy, shyness, reproach, confusion, struggle...
The 'Heartbreak Red' in her hand was radiating a brighter light than anyone else's, and the flowers were swaying the most, as if they might fall at any moment.
but,
All of this was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, creating ripples.
But eventually, the lake will return to calm.
Brigitte slowly opened her eyes.
Although she had anticipated the current situation, she couldn't help but feel somewhat saddened when she saw that she really couldn't remove the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.
"So...it's not working after all?"
"sorry..."
Upon hearing Bi Ji's final apology, Dongfang Jing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Since even he didn't take it off, how could he possibly accept this apology?
"cough."
A soft cough broke the deathly silence in the living room.
Dugu Bo stood up and straightened his robes.
He politely cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Ah Yin, Xue Di, Bing Di, and Bi Ji.
"Young Master Jing, I suddenly remembered I have some important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I'll leave Yan Yan in your care."
"Huh? Oh."
After being stunned for a while, Dongfang Jing finally came to his senses.
"Please wait, senior. I need your antidote..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he realized that Dugu Bo's figure had already disappeared, leaving only a gust of bloody wind.
That old man is really fast.
Suddenly, two soft "poof" sounds came in succession.
Dongfang Jing subconsciously turned his head to look.
Only the two 'Acacia Heartbreak Red' foliage remained, unseen for some time.
It had already appeared in the hands of Dongfang Yao and Wang Qiu'er.
He didn't even notice when they took the magic herb from his hands.
The blood and sweat spurted out by the two women had already fallen onto the flower petals.
Under the surprised yet somewhat expected gazes of the women, the two 'Heartbreak Red' plants fell silently from the Black Stone without even the slightest sway or light.
One plant fell into Dongfang Yao's palm.
The other plant was caught steadily by Wang Qiu'er.
The two wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, looked at each other, and both wore silly smiles.
They tacitly pretended not to see Dongfang Jing's shocked and somewhat stunned reaction, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.
Or rather, I was too embarrassed to make eye contact with him.
Being able to pluck this red acacia blossom is the best proof of the sincere feelings in one's heart.
And the person in their hearts...
"You...you..."
Dongfang Jing's mind went blank, and he couldn't even speak coherently.
"Wow! It seems that Yao'er and Qiu'er are the destined ones!"
Ning Rongrong clasped her hands together in front of her, her eyes filled with envy, breaking the deadlock at the opportune moment.
Now is the time for my wingmen and best friends to step in and save the day.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and echoed, "Rongrong is right, congratulations to you both."
She turned to Dongfang Jing and asked, "Brother Jing, may we give these two flowers to them?"
Dongfang Jing composed himself and forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions churning within him.
He nodded.
"certainly."
"Qiu'er, with this one, you will have a total of three immortal herbs. Even if your body is strong, their medicinal properties will inevitably conflict, so I suggest you take no more than two."
"Yao'er..."
Dongfang Jing's tone gradually became more complex.
He looked at Dongfang Yao, at her pretty face with a sweet smile.
Suddenly, I felt that her figure seemed to overlap somewhat with the figure in my dream who was the last person to walk into the wedding hall, whose appearance I did not know!
This thought startled him greatly!
