Chapter 47 No More Pretense? Picking the Yearning Heartbreak Red, Bibi Dong: Little Yueyue, You're the Only One in My Heart!
My beloved...
The image of the boy in front of her involuntarily appeared in her mind.
From the initial amazement at their first meeting to every little detail along the way.
Although he was still young, and although there was an age gap between them.
But...
That feeling of being moved was something she couldn't fake.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening.
She slowly walked up to the Yearning Heartbreak Red, closed her eyes, and cleared her mind of all distracting thoughts.
At this moment, there was only one person left in her world.
That boy who always had a mischievous smile, yet was incredibly reliable—Lan Yue.
"Puff—"
A mouthful of crimson blood spurted from Bibi Dong's mouth, landing precisely on the blood-red petals of the Yearning Heartbreak Red.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on that Immortal Herb.
The next second.
A miracle happened.
The once still and motionless Yearning Heartbreak Red began to tremble slightly after absorbing Bibi Dong's lifeblood.
Immediately afterward, the jet-black stone slowly fell off.
The entire flower, radiating a breathtakingly beautiful light, gently floated into Bibi Dong's palm.
There was no hindrance, no resistance whatsoever.
It seemed to have found its home, lying quietly in Bibi Dong's palm, emitting a faint fragrance.
"It... it was a success?!"
Not far away, Yue Guan stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Although he knew the conditions for picking this flower, it was precisely because he knew that he understood how difficult it was.
Did such pure, unadulterated emotion truly exist in this world?
And...
Yue Guan's gaze swept back and forth between Bibi Dong and Lan Yue, his expression becoming even more peculiar.
The person Her Highness had been thinking of...
Could it be...?
Bibi Dong looked at the Yearning Heartbreak Red in her hand, a genuine smile appearing on her face.
That smile held a hint of shyness, a touch of sweetness, and a hint of relief.
Bibi Dong turned around and looked at Lan Yue, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection:
"Little Yueyue, it seems... it really does belong to me."
Lan Yue's heart trembled slightly as he looked at the vibrant and beautiful Yearning Heartbreak Red in Bibi Dong's hand.
He certainly knew what that meant.
In the Douluo Continent, being able to pluck the Yearning Heartbreak Red signified that one possessed a sincere and unwavering emotion, pure and unadulterated, in one's heart.
Lan Yue knew perfectly well who Bibi Dong had thought of just a moment ago.
But he did not choose to break the ice at this time.
Sometimes, things are more beautiful when left unsaid.
Moreover, the timing was not yet ripe; if he acted too hastily, it might backfire.
So, Lan Yue simply gave a bright smile and sincerely said:
"Congratulations, Sister Dong'er!"
"I knew it! You are worthy of the king of flowers!"
"Since this Yearning Heartbreak Red has recognized its master, it means that it is connected with your heart."
"Taking it will not only greatly enhance your soul power, but also strengthen your foundation and transform your body."
"Even... legend has it that it can save lives in critical moments."
Lan Yue paused for a moment, then continued:
"The method of consumption is also very simple. Just pick the petals one by one and swallow them, and finally swallow the stamens."
"Remember, you must remain focused and attentive while taking the medicine to guide its effects throughout your body."
Bibi Dong gently stroked the petals in her hand, feeling the warm touch, and her heart was filled with joy.
In the original story, Xiao Wu kept the Immortal Herb with her because she couldn't bear to eat it.
Although she ultimately survived, she missed the best opportunity to improve her strength.
But Bibi Dong was different.
She was moved by the legend of the flower and cherished this hard-won connection.
But she knew even better that in this dog-eat-dog world, only strength was the eternal truth.
Only by possessing sufficient power could one protect those they wished to protect and control their own destiny.
Moreover, this was a gift that Lan Yue had specially chosen for her, and she absolutely could not let him down.
"Okay, I understand."
Bibi Dong nodded, her eyes resolute:
"I'll find a quiet place to refine it later; I won't waste this rare treasure."
After saying that, Bibi Dong carefully put away the Yearning Heartbreak Red.
Then she raised her head and looked at Lan Yue curiously:
"Little Yueyue, you've arranged such wonderful Immortal Herbs for each of us."
"And what about yourself?"
"What have you prepared for yourself?"
Bibi Dong knew that although Lan Yue was young, he was shrewd and would never mistreat himself.
Since there were so many Immortal Herbs here, he must have kept the best portion for himself.
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei all cast curious glances at him.
They also wanted to know which Immortal Herbs Lan Yue would choose.
Lan Yue smiled mysteriously, but instead of answering directly, he turned and walked toward the center of the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes.
That place was where the two springs, one extremely cold and the other extremely hot, met, and it was also the core of the entire valley with the most abundant spiritual energy.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lan Yue pointed to two completely different Immortal Herbs growing where the red and blue spring waters met, and slowly spoke:
"My Spirit is quite special, and ordinary Immortal Herbs have limited effect on me."
"Only these two plants can truly unleash the potential of my Spirit."
Following Lan Yue's finger,
on one side of the frigid spring, a white herb was growing.
It was pure white and crystal clear, as if it were carved from ice crystals.
At the top was a large, octagonal white flower, radiating a chilling aura.
On one side of the blazing Yang spring, a fiery red herb grew.
It was entirely fiery red, as if flames were concentrated within it, and at the top was a fiery red fruit that looked like a cabbage.
It radiated an astonishing amount of heat.
"This is..."
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in alarm:
"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno?!"
"Little monster, have you gone mad?!"
"These two plants are highly poisonous!"
"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is extremely cold; it freezes upon contact!"
"The Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno burns like fire to the heart; touch it and you will ignite!"
"Let alone eating them—even getting close to them is life-threatening!"
"You... you actually intend to consume both of these highly poisonous Immortal Herbs at the same time?!"
Although Dugu Bo did not recognize the other Immortal Herbs, he had a deep impression of these two extremely poisonous herbs that grew near the spring.
He had personally witnessed a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast mistakenly eat one of the plants, resulting in its instant death in a gruesome manner.
Lan Yue remained calm, as if he hadn't taken Dugu Bo's warning to heart at all.
He turned around, looked at Bibi Dong, whose face was full of worry, and the shocked crowd, and smiled confidently:
"Old monster, you only know one side of the story, not the other."
"Although both of these Immortal Herbs are highly poisonous, as the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach their extreme."
"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is an extremely cold poison, while the Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno is an extremely hot poison."
"If taken alone, it would certainly be fatal."
"But if they are taken at the same time, and then neutralized with the spring water from the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes..."
A mad yet confident light gleamed in Lan Yue's eyes:
"Then one can fight poison with poison, harmonize yin and yang, and achieve an indestructible body!"
"This is the opportunity I have prepared for myself!"
