Lovesick Heartbreak Red
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum! The Lovesick Heartbreak Red!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out in surprise, his eyes fixed on the two herbs in Lu Yuan's hand, his gaze filled with infatuation.
Seeing the burning passion in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly. Chrysanthemum Douluo lived up to his name, a Titled Douluo who loved flowers; his infatuated gaze alone revealed this.
The fact that he didn't run up to me and lean in to look was already a sign of his restraint.
"That's right, it's them!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Both the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red are Immortal Herbs. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red is even known as the king of celestial herbs, possessing incredible effects. Uncle Ju, I'm entrusting this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to you. Your Martial Soul is also the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which is a perfect match for it."
"Thank you, young Yuan. This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is indeed of great use to me. I won't be polite." Chrysanthemum Douluo said, taking the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that Lu Yuan handed him.
"Uncle Ju, you're too kind. If it weren't for your Immortal Herb Compendium, even if I saw these Immortal Herbs, I might not recognize them. You deserve them!" Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Hey, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, kid." Chrysanthemum Douluo said, slightly raising his pinky finger and covering his mouth with a smile, causing Lu Yuan to quickly look away.
This scene was so beautiful, he really couldn't bear to look!
"Senior sister, this one in my hand is for you. It's called the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, a top-grade Immortal Herbs among Immortal Herbs. Among all the Immortal Herbs I have, if we compare them individually, it's the strongest in terms of medicinal efficacy!" Lu Yuan said, handing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Hu Liena.
"Really, junior brother? This one has the strongest medicinal effect?" Hu Liena blinked as she looked at Lu Yuan.
"Yes, the effect of a single plant is the strongest with Lovesick Heartbreak Red'!" Lu Yuan nodded and said.
Indeed, in terms of efficacy, apart from the Youxue Linglong Zhi and Brilliant Gold Profound Yang Grass Yin Yang Immortal Herbs Qian Renxue took at the same time, whose combined effects surpassed Lovesick Heartbreak Red, even the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot that Lu Yuan took at the same time were slightly inferior to Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
The title of "King of Immortal Delicacies" is well-deserved.
"Zhu Zhuqing must have taken it, right? What kind of Immortal Herb did she take?" Hu Liena blinked and asked.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan gave Hu Liena a flick of his finger, both amused and annoyed. Did this girl also have a competitive spirit?
However, he did not hide it, because Zhu Zhuqing would not be angry about it; she had already obtained something better.
"Zhu Qing is taking Narcissus Jade Bone, which is less effective than Lovesick Heartbreak Red," Lu Yuan said.
"Is that so?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hu Liena smiled. Fortunately, this stinky junior brother still loved her more in the end.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, looked at Hu Liena's smile with a calm expression. She wasn't jealous at all. No matter how precious the Lovesick Heartbreak Red was, could it compare to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?
So she felt quite at ease. Lu Yuan was basically fair to everyone, except that he might have a slight preference for Qian Renxue. In fact, she and Hu Liena received roughly the same amount.
Seeing the smile on Hu Liena's face, Lu Yuan chuckled and ruffled her hair. His senior sister was so easily satisfied; she was so happy over such a small thing.
"Senior sister, this Lovesick Heartbreak Red is beautiful, but whether you can pick it or not depends on you," Lu Yuan said with a smile, pinching Hu Liena's cheek.
"What do you mean?" Hu Liena looked at Lu Yuan with some confusion.
"The Lovesick Heartbreak Red, a flower of heartbreak, is no ordinary flower. It chooses its master and can only be plucked by those who have earned its approval." Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out.
"Yes, Uncle Ju is right. This Lovesick Heartbreak Red is the most special. It will choose its own owner. If you want to pick it, you have to pay a certain price."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan told Hu Liena the love story about the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
After hearing the story, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were both mesmerized, staring intently at Lu Yuan with deep affection in their eyes.
Seeing the deep affection in the two women's eyes, Lu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart. Having them in his life was truly the best gift God had given him.
"Since this flower is a flower of deepest love, when picking it, one must think of one's beloved, be sincere and devoted, and spit out a mouthful of one's heart's blood onto it. If one is even slightly distracted, one will die from spitting blood and will never be able to pick it."
"Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its owner. The stone under the flower is called the Wu Jue Stone. If it is forcibly destroyed, the entire Lovesick Heartbreak Red will instantly lose all its medicinal power and become completely useless."
"So, in general, the only way to pluck this Lovesick Heartbreak Red is to water it with the blood and sweat of the most sincere emotions."
"Senior sister, are you confident you can pick it?" Lu Yuan looked intently at Hu Liena, his eyes filled with expectation. Although he knew Hu Liena's deep affection for him, he still couldn't help but want to know if Hu Liena could actually pick the flower.
"As long as I look at you, I have confidence!" Hu Liena stretched out her right hand and gently stroked Lu Yuan's cheek. Then she turned her head, slapped her chest hard, and a mouthful of blood rushed to her throat, spraying it all onto the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Crimson blood dripped onto the petals, slowly seeping in. Suddenly, a burst of golden light shone forth, and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red almost instantly fell from the Wu Jue Stone, where it was caught in Hu Liena's hand.
"Junior brother, look!" Hu Liena turned her head, a bright smile on her face, and gently waved the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand at Lu Yuan.
"Senior Sister!" Lu Yuan raised his right hand and gently wiped away the blood remaining on Hu Liena's lips. Then he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Hu Liena tightly.
He thought that Hu Liena would definitely be able to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but when Lu Yuan actually saw the Lovesick Heartbreak Red fall from the Wu Jue Stone, his heart still couldn't help but pound.
Holding Hu Liena tightly, Lu Yuan only wanted to embrace the girl in front of him and merge her into himself.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena with some envy. She knew that after today's incident, Hu Liena's status in Lu Yuan's heart would definitely rise a lot. Besides envy, Zhu Zhuqing also admired Hu Liena's devotion.
She admitted that she was indeed hopelessly in love with Lu Yuan, but perhaps it couldn't compare to Hu Liena's deep longing. No wonder that even though she and Qian Renxue were both by Lu Yuan's side, he was willing to give the more potent Yin Yang Immortal Herbs to Qian Renxue and the priceless 100,000-Year Blue Silver Right Leg Bone to himself.
But the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, was reserved for Hu Liena.
In hindsight, this guy was right.
Compared to her love for Lu Yuan, her love for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena was ultimately inferior.
