Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 78 Immortal Herbs Given to Two Women, Building a Foundation for Future Godhood

The one who came alone was Gu Feng.

He had only just noticed that something was wrong with Ye Lingling.

Familiar footsteps approached, and Ye Lingling panicked, hurriedly raising her hand to try to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She looked up, forcing a faint smile, her voice trembling slightly: "Gu Feng, what brings you here?"

However, no matter how she tried to hide it, the still-wet eyes on her face were particularly glaring in the dim light.

"I just wanted to see you. Please don't cry, okay?"

Gu Feng's voice was deep and gentle, like a warm breeze blowing into Ye Lingling's heart.

"If you keep crying, your face will be all messed up like a little kitten's, and you won't be pretty anymore. Maybe no one will like you then."

As he spoke, Gu Feng gently pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ye Lingling tilted her head back, her eyes reddening, filled with disbelief: "Really? You really think I'm pretty?"

Gu Feng nodded vigorously, his gaze firm: "Of course! Our Lingling is a great beauty, who wouldn't be moved by her?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's tears stopped instantly.

She has never been confident about her appearance.

But when Gu Feng uttered those words, they seemed to possess a different kind of power.

Ye Lingling's face flushed red at a visible speed, her head lowered like a startled fawn, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Then, are you the same?"

Gu Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said softly, "Of course, who wouldn't like someone as beautiful as Lingling?"

Ye Lingling was so anxious she wanted to stomp her foot, muttering under her breath, "That's not what I asked."

At this moment, Gu Feng leaned down slightly, his warm breath gently brushing against her ear: "Are you trying to say that you like me?"

Ye Lingling suddenly raised her head, and in that instant, she was shocked to realize that Gu Feng was already very close to her, so close that their faces were almost touching.

Such blunt words made Ye Lingling so nervous that her whole body went weak, and even her voice became intermittent: "You, you don't talk nonsense, I...I didn't!"

A mischievous smile played on Gu Feng's lips as he softly asked, "Oh? Really?"

Ye Lingling's heart pounded wildly, fluttering like a trapped bird.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and even her neck flushed red. Her eyes darted nervously away from Gu Feng's burning gaze. She stammered, trying to explain, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Looking at her like this, Gu Feng couldn't help but find her extremely cute, and his smile deepened.

However, he didn't create too much distance between them; he remained very close, so close that Ye Lingling could...

I could clearly feel the warmth emanating from him.

The next second, as if by magic, Gu Feng lightly touched his soul ring with his finger, as if scooping up a ray of light from the Milky Way, and a dazzling starlight-colored flower appeared in his palm.

This flower seems to gather all the brilliance in the world; its petals tremble slightly, emitting a dreamlike halo.

Gu Feng handed the flowers to Ye Lingling: "The most beautiful flowers should be given to the most beautiful people. You are the most beautiful girl from the Heavenly Dou Empire that I have ever seen."

Looking at the flower before her, so beautiful it seemed like a dream, and listening to Gu Feng's passionate words, Ye Lingling's mind went blank for a moment. As if frozen in place, she mechanically reached out and took the flower. Her breathing was rapid and erratic, and her heart pounded violently in her chest, as if it would burst out of her chest.

After a long while, Ye Lingling regained her senses, but the temperature on her face soared, turning as red as a ripe tomato, as if it would bleed if pinched lightly.

She was both shy and delighted. She raised her small fist and gently punched Gu Feng's chest, saying coquettishly, "Oh dear, I'm ignoring you now..."

The words were still lingering in the air when she turned and ran away like a startled rabbit.

Her silvery-white hair danced wildly in the wind, and her steps were both light and hurried.

Although Gu Feng didn't confess directly, everything that had just happened had already convinced her that she held a very special place in Gu Feng's heart.

At the same time, she was also secretly annoyed that she couldn't be braver. If only she had taken the opportunity to boldly admit her feelings and confess her love.

Ye Lingling jogged along until she was panting and had run a long distance before stopping in a quiet corner.

Her chest heaved violently, and the blush on her face had not yet completely faded.

Only then did she have the mind to properly examine the flower in her hand that both captivated and made her shy.

As she examined it closely, she suddenly discovered a note hidden among the flower's stamens surrounded by petals.

Ye Lingling's fingers trembled slightly as she carefully unfolded the note. It read: "Lingling, the Starlight Flower is a top-grade immortal herb. Consume it; it will greatly benefit your cultivation and even your martial spirit."

Upon seeing these words, Ye Lingling was taken aback. She had no idea how much thought Gu Feng had hidden behind this gift.

A few days ago, Gu Feng happened to visit Meng Shenji and inadvertently saw Ye Lingling's file. He secretly noted down her birthday and prepared this starlight flower as a birthday gift to surprise her.

Gu Feng thought Ye Lingling would be overjoyed to receive it.

But at this moment, Ye Lingling frowned slightly, pouted, and muttered, "Hmph, who gives flowers to a girl, especially medicinal herbs? You big idiot Gu Feng, I hate you so much!"

But in reality, she felt a sweet warmth inside.

Although it's a medicinal herb, it's still a flower, and others want it but don't have it yet.

She wholeheartedly believed that Gu Feng was simply unromantic, completely unaware of the incredible effects this herb possessed. Little did she know that this seemingly strange herb was actually the most precious gift Gu Feng could give her.

Years later, Ye Lingling, who has long since become a star goddess, recalls that afternoon when the shy girl and the boy confessing his feelings. She always smiles and tells her daughter, "Baby, Daddy was so silly back then. Don't be like Mommy."

……

Meanwhile, in the villa on the other side...

Gu Feng gently pushed open the door, and the scene inside came into view.

Yu Feng was sitting at the dining table, wolfing down his food, his mouth stuffed full, but his face was beaming with a satisfied smile.

While she was eating heartily, she mumbled praises: "Shana, you are really amazing, this food is so delicious."

As she spoke, she smacked her lips, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking utterly captivated, "I wish you were my maid..."

Upon hearing such praise, Shana's face immediately lit up with a smile, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were full of joy: "Shana is the young master's maid. If the young master agrees, you can come and eat here often."

Gu Feng watched Yu Feng devour her food like a whirlwind, shook his head helplessly, walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Hey, hey, stop eating, get up, I have something for you."
