Below was a strange stone, and then a slender branch.

The branch supports a few slender leaves that have transformed into calyxes.

At the very top are the slender petals stained with a few bright red bloodstains, forming a blooming, delicate, and exquisite blood-red peony.

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and her crimson eyes became somewhat dazed, reflecting the shadow of the eerie red flower in front of her.

She clearly recognized what it was.

"Do you still remember the Acacia Heartbreak Red?" Ye Qiu held her close, his gentle voice ringing in her ear.

He still remembers.

The longing in the eyes of the little girl in his arms when she heard that this magical herb was a symbol of unwavering love.

"Of course I remember! Including that story..."

A shimmering light appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.

It seemed as if she had fallen into a memory.

When Ye Qiu gave her the booklet filled with pictures of exotic flowers and plants back then, he had already told her about this magical herb.

That legend is a poignant story.

legend.

A flower fairy from the celestial realm fell in love with a young man who tended flowers and trees. She secretly left the celestial realm and descended to the mortal world to fall in love with him and enjoy the pleasures of life together.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Ultimately, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the Flower Fairy was forced to return to the upper realm.

The young man fell into a state of despair due to unrequited love.

Later, he received guidance from a wise person.

It turns out that his wife's true form was a peony.

All it takes is to destroy it, and his wife will lose her immortal body forever, fall to the mortal world, and reunite with him.

Although he loved his wife dearly, he couldn't bear to destroy the peony.

From then on, he resumed his work with flowers.

He cherished her dearly, weeping day and night until his tears dried and his heart broke.

In the end, she died of unrequited love, and on her deathbed, she spilled her blood on the peony petals, leaving behind a trail of crimson blood.

That's how this heart-wrenching red color of longing came to be!

"Xiao Qiu~ Are you really giving this to me?"

She reached out and gently touched the crimson petals, her eyes filled with hesitation as she looked at Ye Qiu.

"Of course! You'd better take it off now!"

Ye Qiu nodded firmly. Back when he was at Notting Academy, he had already had the idea of ​​getting it and giving it to Xiao Wu.

Now it's just a matter of putting it into action.

Seeing the trust in Ye Qiu's eyes, Xiao Wu cupped Ye Qiu's cheeks and offered her sweet and soft rabbit lips.

Ye Qiu fell straight down.

A single turn reverses the roles, requiring dedication, passion, and effort...

He never doubted that Xiao Wu could not remove the red petals of longing and heartbreak.

Isn't a wait of several years more convincing than a single flower?

A cold wind blows, and the green grass sways in the breeze on the knee-high grass.

The still swaying, blood-red acacia blossoms, illuminating the kissing couple in the meadow.

Gradually.

Xiao Wu's small hand, which was tugging at Ye Qiu's collar, lost its strength and slowly fell to the thick grass.

She simply tilted her head slightly to cooperate, accepting whatever she asked for, without resisting the sweet sensation that flooded her heart and lungs.

The two stared at each other, the deep blue looking down into the crimson eyes.

Xiao Wu's face was glowing.

Although her eyes gradually dimmed, they still held a hint of allure.

Once the commotion subsided, Xiao Wu lay flat on her back, her head feeling slightly oxygen-deprived, breathing heavily, and remained motionless.

Ye Qiu buried his head in her neck, breathing rapidly.

As his thoughts raced, a faint blue halo spread out from Ye Qiu's center.

The blue silver grass on the meadow began to become very active, as if it were paying homage to an emperor.

A natural fragrance wafted into Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu's noses, and specks of green light were absorbed into their bodies.

The two recovered quickly.

"Xiao Qiu~ You've changed! You've become naughty... It hurts a little..."

Xiao Wu pushed Ye Qiu off her, her head down and her brows furrowed.

Her tone was tinged with shyness and resentment.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time!"

Ye Qiu chuckled awkwardly.

It's possible that Dugu Yan spoiled its hands.

Or perhaps this is just a man's inherent weakness—always wanting to find something during intimacy, restless and unsettled.

"Um...no, it's okay..."

His words about the future made her already rosy complexion even more radiant.

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu looked up. The air seemed to have become much more humid, and the wind had picked up.

"It's about to rain, Xiao Wu...you should pick this fairy herb first! You should remember how to do it, right?"

"Yes! I remember..." Xiao Wu straightened her clothes and took the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red from Ye Qiu.

She glanced at Ye Qiu and pursed her lips.

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the flower petals.

Flowers of exceptional quality choose their masters carefully.

When picking the acacia blossoms, one's thoughts and feelings should be entirely focused on one's beloved, with utmost sincerity and devotion.

If you are even slightly distracted, you could die of vomiting blood and still not be able to pick the flower.

At the very bottom, the stone where the Acacia crape myrtle takes root is called Wujue.

If you forcibly pick it, the medicinal properties of the herb will be completely lost.

However, if the flower is safely picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its owner.

When Xiao Wu's vomit touched the Acacia Heartbreak Red petals, the petals did not sway at all.

It fell down instantly and was caught in Xiao Wu's hands.

A genuine smile spread across his face, like a child who had just received praise or gotten a perfect score on a test.

"Xiao Qiu! I picked it!"

Smiling like a flower.

The red acacia flower in her hand was as beautiful and stunning as she was.

"Yes! I saw it!" Ye Qiu pulled her into his arms again, his tone becoming serious and earnest.

"Promise me that in the future, you will never let this flower leave your side, and you will always carry it with you!"

"Hmm?" The beautiful woman in my arms let out a soft "hmm".

Xiao Qiu naturally didn't need to say much about this; she would carry it with her at all times.

Because it was a testament to her feelings for Ye Qiu, and even more so because... it was a gift from Xiao Qiu.

But Ye Qiu's tone at this moment clearly indicated that this instruction was somewhat unusual.

"Xiao Qiu, is something wrong?" Xiao Wu rested her chin on Ye Qiu's shoulder, their faces close together, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Two level 96 Title Douluos will appear in Soto City first thing tomorrow morning. I'm afraid they'll discover your identity. As long as you have the Acacia Heartbreak Red, your aura can be concealed..."

"But...I could have concealed my soul beast aura long ago!!"

"Huh? When did this happen? How did you manage to do that!"

Ye Qiu pushed the person in his arms away in surprise and looked at her in astonishment.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Qiu, I lied to you before..." Xiao Wu lowered her head, holding the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red in her hands, feeling somewhat helpless.

"You lied to me?"

Ye Qiu looked completely bewildered, somewhat confused.
