A Love Recognized

The moment Xu Xingyu jumped into the Ice and Fire Spring, Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi immediately panicked, because they could both sense an aura of death emanating from the Ice and Fire Spring.

So when they saw Xu Xingyu completely unprotected, they immediately tried to pull him out, but Gu Yuena stopped them, saying, "You don't need to worry about Little Xingyu. Don't forget that he possesses the attributes of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire. This hot spring can't stop him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi realized that their concern had clouded their judgment, and they calmed down a bit.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er asked curiously, "So what do we do now? Just wait here for Brother Xingyu?"

Gu Yuena replied calmly, "Yes, if you feel bored, you can calm down and cultivate. The Immortal Spirit Qi here is very abundant, and even people who don't have Plant-type Martial Soul can gain great benefits from cultivating here."

After saying that, Gu Qiuxi sat down to meditate, which would also allow her to refine the residual medicinal power of the immortal Immortal Herb she had consumed.

Looking at Gu Qiuxi, who had already entered a meditative state, Wang Dong'er put on an expression that said, "I won't lose to her," and then began to prepare for meditation and cultivation.

Gu Yuena glanced at the two of them, then ignored them and began to concentrate on sensing Xu Xingyu's condition at the bottom of the spring.

After learning that Xu Xingyu was alright, Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not dare to unleash her full senses.

After all, although a cooperation agreement has been reached with the immortal Immortal Herb of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, no one knows whether they will go back on their word, so basic vigilance is still necessary.

However, at that moment, Gu Yuena sensed a strange fluctuation. This fluctuation did not have any hostility; on the contrary, it felt somewhat intimate.

At first, Gu Yuena thought it was the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's remains calling to her. After all, she was the creator of the Dragon God, so like Xu Xingyu, her bloodline could resonate with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

However, when Gu Yuena realized that the direction of the fluctuation was not from the direction of the Ice and Fire Spring, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

Sensing that Xu Xingyu had not yet found the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's Soul Bone, Gu Yuena decided to investigate what was extending a friendly gesture towards her.

Soon, under the powerful detection of Gu Yuena's Divine Sense, she finally found the item that had shown her affection.

To Gu Yuena's surprise, it turned out to be a Immortal Herb.

It was an ordinary-looking white flower, about the size of a palm, without any leaves, and its stem was connected to a large, dark stone.

Although Gu Yuena had never seen this celestial herb before, she knew from her memories of seeing it with Xu Xingyu that it was the legendary king of flowers, a celestial herb among celestial herbs, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red is a very special medicinal herb. To successfully harvest it, one must think of one's beloved while picking it, with utmost sincerity, and sprinkle a drop of blood onto the petals.

During this process, one must not be distracted, otherwise, even if one vomits blood and dies, it will be impossible to pluck this flower. Once this Immortal Herb is successfully plucked, it will never wither as long as it is by its new master's side, and will always protect them. At the same time, only its master or the master's beloved can hold this immortal Immortal Herb and consume it.

If one tries to harvest this Immortal Herb by other means, such as destroying the stone called Wujue beneath the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, then this Immortal Herb will lose all its medicinal power and become just an ordinary flower.

Looking at the immortal Immortal Herb before her, Gu Yuena inexplicably stroked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. In that instant, a drop of blood traveled from Gu Yuena's fingertip to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and was eventually completely absorbed by Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The moment the Lovesick Heartbreak Red absorbed Gu Yuena's blood, memories of Gu Yuena and Xu Xingyu resurfaced in Gu Yuena's mind.

Recalling those familiar times, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile, and the originally white petals of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red began to emit a faint light.

Just then, the image of Xu Xingyu, Wang Dong'er, and others together flashed through Gu Yuena's mind. This image made Gu Yuena feel jealous and dissatisfied, and in response, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red began to glow intermittently.

However, Gu Yuena quickly calmed herself down and looked at the scenes with a peaceful attitude. Although she was dissatisfied with these things, she had already accepted the fact and decided that no matter where Xu Xingyu went in the future, she would follow closely behind!

As this vow arose in Gu Yuena's heart, the light emitted by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red became stable.

As the light emanating from the Lovesick Heartbreak Red began to grow brighter, a crimson hue began to spread across Lovesick Heartbreak Red petals, and the roots on the Wujue Stone ceased their Entanglement.

Soon the roots completely detached from the Wujue Stone, and the white peony flower turned a blood red.

This also shows that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red has finally found its owner, Gu Yuena!

Looking at the Immortal Herb she had just picked, Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh. Although she had no intention of picking the Immortal Herb, seeing that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red acknowledged her feelings for Xu Xingyu made Gu Yuena very gratified.

This shows that her love for Xu Xingyu is genuine, without any ulterior motives or self-interest involved. The reason she is willing to follow Xu Xingyu now is simply because she loves him.

At the same time, Gu Yuena was also grateful to Xu Yanxue, because a year ago, Gu Yuena had doubted her relationship with Xu Xingyu, feeling that she was just a pretty face who depended on Xu Xingyu and was not worthy of Xu Xingyu's love.

After all, Xu Xingyu basically plans the future of the Soul Beast, Gu Yuena simply follows orders and executes them. So, in a sense, she is just a good-looking henchman.

However, it was Xu Yanxue who scolded her at that time, making her realize that it was just her unreasonable idea, and she decided to follow in Xu Xingyu's footsteps in the future and further understand human society through the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

This also taught her how to handle all kinds of work, transforming Gu Yuena from a mere figurehead leader into an excellent leader with her own independent ideas.

During this process, Gu Yuena did not blindly follow Xu Xingyu's instructions, but instead used what she had learned to offer timely suggestions to further improve Xu Xingyu's plan or point out its shortcomings.

Gu Yuena thus completely shed the label of a pretty but capable "vase" and became a strong and independent woman who deeply loved Xu Xingyu.

It was precisely because Gu Yuena had come to terms with this that her love for Xu Xingyu was no longer mixed with the impurities of the past, becoming more sincere and genuine. This is why the Lovesick Heartbreak Red would take the initiative to let Gu Yuena try to pluck it and become its master.

Because the Lovesick Heartbreak Red can clearly feel Gu Yuena's pure love for Xu Xingyu.

Just as Gu Yuena was admiring the Lovesick Heartbreak Red she had just picked, she seemed to sense something and immediately turned towards the Ice and Fire Spring.

At this moment, the Ice and Fire Spring seemed to be boiling, with countless Bubble rising to the Ice and Fire Spring, and Xu Xingyu's breathing at the bottom of the spring became disordered.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuena immediately put away the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and jumped into the Ice and Fire Spring to search for Xu Xingyu's whereabouts.

Completely unaware that everything that had just happened had been witnessed by another person.
