In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 146 The Heartbreaking Red Acacia and Bibi Dong (Part 2)

Despite this thought, Bibi Dong did not rush to take the snow-white swan kiss, but instead looked at the jade box in Wang Zhao's left palm.

She had a feeling that the other magical herb Wang Zhao brought out as the finale would definitely not be simple.

Noticing Bibi Dong's gaze, Wang Zhao didn't keep her in suspense any longer. He immediately opened the jade box, revealing a seemingly ordinary white flower. The flower was about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any leaves. Its stem was connected to a large stone, which was completely black and incredibly heavy. On the white flower, there were several striking red petals, as red as blood, giving it a somewhat breathtaking appearance.

"This herb is called Acacia Heartbreak Red, a divine treasure among immortal herbs. It contains incredibly powerful medicinal properties. It is said that consuming it can grant immortality, the ability to bring the dead back to life, and the ability to heal flesh and bone."

As Wang Zhao spoke, he thought for a moment and then continued, "It also has a beautiful legend. Long ago, there was a young man who was gentle and quiet by nature. He loved to tend to flowers and plants, and his garden was full of lotus flowers and lotus roots... When he was dying, he poured his blood onto the petals, and the peony flowers immediately turned into grass. The white petals were stained with the red threads formed by the young man's blood, hence the name 'Love-longing Heartbreak Red'."

"..."

After listening to Wang Zhao tell such a long story, Bibi Dong was stunned.

Ah, love.

Then, Wang Zhao continued speaking.

"This Acacia Heartbreak Red is the highest grade among immortal herbs, unlike other immortal herbs. It is not easy to truly obtain it."

"First, it needs to be picked. When picking it, you must be thinking of your beloved, with utmost sincerity, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you are even slightly distracted, even if you spit blood and die, you will never be able to pick the flower. Once the flower is picked, as long as it stays with its owner, it will never wither. Look, the stone under this flower is named Wujue. If you forcibly destroy it, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong understood Wang Zhao's meaning: whether or not she could obtain this celestial treasure depended on her abilities.

She looked at the Acacia Heartbreak Red lying quietly in the jade box, paused for a moment, and recalled a certain master. For some reason, she felt a little insecure.

She quickly shook her head, calmed herself down, her gaze became more distant, and she suddenly circulated her soul power and blood energy. Her red lips parted slightly, and she spat a mouthful of blood onto the flower petals.

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang's image indeed appeared in her mind. Although it did not disappear, it was unusually faint and colorless.

Bibi Dong was startled, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal trembled slightly, and then...

And that was the end of it.

"How could this be?!"

Bibi Dong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At this moment, she even suspected that there was something wrong with the acacia blossom, and even with the facts right in front of her, she couldn't believe it.

Although over the years, with Wang Zhao's occasional provocations and revelations, Yu Xiaogang's great image in Bibi Dong's heart has almost vanished, Bibi Dong is still unwilling to let go of this relationship easily. There is no reason, it's just that Yu Xiaogang has become an obsession for her.

Bibi Dong, with her intelligence, would naturally understand this, but she never even considered it, perhaps out of avoidance.

But now, with this celestial treasure as proof, Bibi Dong could no longer hide her true feelings—

It seems that she doesn't love Yu Xiaogang as much as she thought she did.

Do not……

Bibi Dong frowned sharply, as if possessed, and continued to circulate her blood and qi, spitting blood onto the petals of the Acacia Heartbreak Red once again.

The red acacia blossoms, symbolizing heartbreak and longing, trembled slightly.

No...no...

Bibi Dong clenched her fists.

The third time... the fourth time... the fifth time...

By the fifth time, Bibi Dong didn't even circulate her soul power; instead, she raised her hand and slapped her chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even so, the Acacia Heartbreak Red only trembled slightly. In fact, this tremor did not seem to be due to Bibi Dong's thoughts about Yu Xiaogang, but rather to the pure physical collision between the petals and the reverse blood.

How could this be?

Bibi Dong couldn't help but take a few steps back, her face slightly pale as she looked at the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

"Ugh."

At this moment, Wang Zhao, who had been watching from the side for a long time, sighed softly and said with a complicated expression:

"Sister Dong'er, if you really can't do it, then give up."

His words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"Perhaps you're not meant to be with this acacia blossom, but the snow-white swan's kiss is actually quite suitable for you, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Wang Zhao, opened her mouth, and finally insisted:

"I want to try one last time."

"……All right."

Wang Zhao nodded.

Bibi Dong then adjusted her somewhat disordered breathing, calmed her mind, closed her eyes slightly, and then opened them again.

Soon, a mouthful of blood appeared on the petal.

At the same time, deep within Bibi Dong's heart, besides the faint memory of Yu Xiaogang, which had been relegated to a corner, another figure suddenly appeared—

He always had a smile on his face, which seemed a little mischievous, yet inexplicably reassuring.

This is……

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, her mind suddenly became chaotic, and she could no longer remain calm.

Immediately afterwards, the Acacia Heartbreak Red began to tremble violently, teetering precariously on the black stone, about to fall off.

However, it ultimately fell short.

after.

Bibi Dong stared blankly for a while before looking at Wang Zhao, then suddenly turned her head away with a complicated expression and her eyes darting around.

"Do you have someone else in mind for this Acacia Heartbreak Red? If not, how about entrusting it, along with the Snow Swan Kiss, to me for safekeeping for the time being? I'd like to try harvesting this divine treasure among immortal herbs after I return to Wuhun City."

"sure."

Wang Zhao said.

The two then chatted casually for a while, before Bibi Dong finally said:

"The affairs of Wuhun City are very busy. We brought so many elders out today. Even though the Grand Elder is watching over us for the time being, we need to go back today to avoid any leaks."

"Um."

Wang Zhao was not surprised by this, and nodded understandingly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he took out an earring-shaped storage soul tool and handed it to Bibi Dong.

"Oh, right, Sister Dong'er, when you get back, please remember to say hello to Sister Die for me. There's a gift I specially prepared for her here, so please don't keep it for yourself."

Bibi Dong then took the earring and put it away. A short while later, she turned and left in a slightly flustered manner, leaving Wang Zhao alone on the mountain peak.

He silently watched Bibi Dong's retreating figure, and his originally indifferent expression suddenly changed.

What happened to the Acacia Heartbreak Red just now?

As he thought about it, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and waves of negative emotions rose uncontrollably.
