Chapter 46 The Heartbreaking Red of Longing? Bibi Dong: Little Yueyue, Is This for Me?
Lan Yue plucked the Immortal Herb called "Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones" and tossed it to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo caught it in a flurry, afraid of breaking the precious item.
"This is the Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones."
Lan Yue's expression turned serious as he explained:
"This herb can nourish tendons and bones, and promote the flow of qi through the eight extraordinary meridians."
"Old monster, you have been suffering from the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison for many years. The meridians and bones in your body have long been eroded by the poison and are riddled with holes."
"If I were to directly detoxify you or enhance your soul power, your body probably wouldn't be able to withstand it and would collapse."
"This Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones is tailor-made for you."
"It can reshape your bones and muscles, repair your damaged meridians, and lay a solid foundation for completely eliminating the toxins."
Upon hearing this, a flash of wild joy appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.
It nourished tendons and strengthened bones, and promoted the flow of qi through the eight extraordinary meridians!
This was simply a life-saving miracle drug!
Just as Dugu Bo was about to open his mouth to swallow the Immortal Herb, Lan Yue stopped him with a shout:
"Wait!"
"Don't rush to absorb it."
Lan Yue waved his hand, stopping Dugu Bo's actions:
"Your situation is rather special; you have too many toxins accumulated in your body."
"This one Immortal Herb alone isn't enough; it also needs the unique environment of the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes, as well as my subsequent treatment methods."
"Keep it safe for now, and eat it when I tell you to."
Although Dugu Bo was itching to devour it immediately, he was completely convinced of Lan Yue's medical skills and insight.
Since the little monster said he couldn't eat it now, there had to be a reason.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Dugu Bo carefully took out a jade box from his soul tool and solemnly put away the Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones.
After distributing the Immortal Herbs to the three of them, Lan Yue took a deep breath, turned around, and returned his gaze to Bibi Dong.
At this moment, only he and Bibi Dong remained in the clearing, and no assignments had been made yet.
Lan Yue's eyes became exceptionally fervent as he looked at Bibi Dong and whispered:
"Sister Dong'er, it's your turn next..."
Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat when she saw Lan Yue's burning gaze.
She was both curious and expectant, her eyes following Lan Yue's figure closely.
Lan Yue took Bibi Dong's soft, boneless hand and slowly walked to a large rock.
On that large rock, a strange and magical herb grew quietly.
It wasn't very tall; in fact, it looked rather frail.
At the top bloomed a flower the size of a palm, its petals a poignant, blood-red color, as if it were watered with the blood of a lover's heart.
Beneath the flower lay a dark stone, the two tightly connected, seemingly formed naturally.
Unlike other Immortal Herbs, this one did not emit a rich fragrance or a dazzling light.
It stood there quietly, yet it exuded a heartbreakingly poignant beauty.
"This is..."
As Bibi Dong looked at the peculiar flower, a strange feeling welled up in her heart for some reason.
Not far away, when Yue Guan saw Lan Yue leading Bibi Dong toward the flower, his hand, which had been playing with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, suddenly stopped.
A hint of shock flashed in his peach blossom eyes, followed by a thoughtful expression.
As a lover of flowers, he naturally recognized this king of flowers.
Only...
This flower wasn't so easy to pick.
"Little Yueyue, what kind of Immortal Herb is this?"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask, her voice soft, as if afraid of disturbing the seemingly fragile flower.
Lan Yue didn't answer directly, but turned around, gazing tenderly at Bibi Dong, and slowly spoke:
"Sister Dong'er, this flower is called 'Yearning Heartbreak Red'."
"The Heartbreaking Red of Longing?"
Bibi Dong repeated the name softly, feeling that it was both tragically beautiful and resolute.
"There is a very old legend about this flower."
Lan Yue's voice became deep and magnetic, as if he were recounting a long-forgotten story:
"Legend has it that long ago, there was a young man who was gentle and quiet and loved flowers and plants the most."
"He spent his days tending to the flowers and plants in the garden, finding joy in it."
"At that time, a celestial flower fairy passed by the mortal world and was moved by the boy's sincerity."
"She then transformed into a mortal woman and married the young man. They were deeply in love and lived a life like that of immortals."
Bibi Dong listened intently, her eyes sparkling with longing.
Wasn't this the most beautiful dream in every girl's heart?
Lan Yue paused, then changed his tone, adding a hint of regret:
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long."
"The gods discovered that the Flower Fairy had descended to the mortal realm without permission and were furious. They sent heavenly soldiers and generals to forcibly bring the Flower Fairy back to the celestial realm."
"The young man was devastated by the loss of his beloved wife."
"He longed for his wife day and night, but could not see her. He could only stare blankly at the flowers and plants in the garden all day, growing thinner and thinner each day."
"And then what?"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but press for more information; her heart was completely captivated by the story.
"Later..."
Lan Yue sighed:
"That Flower Fairy in the heavenly realm also missed the boy."
"She secretly transformed a drop of her heart's blood into a seed and sent it to the boy in his dream, asking him to plant it."
"When the boy woke up, he indeed found a red seed next to his pillow."
"He treasured it greatly, planting it in the most prominent spot in the garden and watering it day and night with his tears."
"Finally, one day, the seed sprouted and bloomed into a blood-red flower."
"The boy looked at the flower as if he were seeing his beloved wife."
"He waited day and night by the flower, but eventually died of grief due to excessive longing."
"At the moment of his death, the flower's petals instantly turned blood red, as if it too were weeping blood for this tragic love story."
"This is the origin of the name 'Yearning Heartbreak Red'."
Lan Yue looked at Bibi Dong's already slightly moist eyes and said softly:
"Flowers of extraordinary quality choose their masters carefully."
"When picking the petals, one must think of their beloved, be extremely sincere, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals."
"If you are even slightly distracted, you could die spitting blood and still not be able to pluck the flower."
"Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its owner."
"The stone beneath the flower is named Wujue; if it is forcibly destroyed, this Yearning Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal properties."
After hearing this story, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time.
Looking at the poignant and beautiful flower before her, she felt a mix of emotions.
This was not just an Immortal Herb, but also a heavy test, the ultimate trial of love.
"Sister Dong'er."
Lan Yue's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of encouragement and expectation:
"This Yearning Heartbreak Red is a divine product among Immortal Herbs, possessing the miraculous effects of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones."
"More importantly, it can significantly enhance soul power and even alter one's physical constitution."
"I feel like it's waiting for you."
Bibi Dong raised her head and looked into Lan Yue's clear eyes, a strong impulse suddenly welling up in her heart.
