Chapter 499: Heartbroken Red and the Butterfly Egg of the Goddess of Light
“I didn’t expect there is such a treasure in the world!”
Xiao Wu, whose soul power had reached level thirty-six, stood up, stretched, and picked up a black stone beside her with a peony growing on it.
This peony has no leaves and is only the size of a palm, but there is a touch of blood red in the center of the petals, which is breathtaking.
“Why wasn’t this flower put in?”
"This is the red of lovesickness."
Tang San began to spread science, telling the story of a young boy who loved flowers and moved a fairy, but they could not be together. The flower fairy was caught by the gods and brought back to heaven. Then a white-haired old man told the young boy that he could let the flower fairy come down to earth by destroying the peonies in the garden, but the young boy was hesitant between the flowers and the flower fairy. Finally, when the young boy was dying, he shed his blood on the petals, and the peony flower immediately turned into grass. The white petals were stained with red threads made of the young man's blood.
"It sounds touching, but it's a tragedy." Xiao Wu's expression was slightly gloomy. She didn't really like this kind of story - people in love cannot love each other.
She has always loved family fun.
"So, this flower will never develop intelligence." Zhou Qing continued, "And without intelligence, it will not know how to practice, and will sink into the sea of love."
"I noticed that you don't seem to be interested in love?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at Zhou Qing.
"It's not that I don't feel anything, but love also requires reason. In the story Xiao San told, the three characters that appeared were the boy who loved flowers, the flower fairy who came down to earth, and the angry god. None of them had a normal brain."
Zhou Qing analyzed the whole story from a modern perspective, "Assuming that what the white-haired old man said is true... well, it can only be assumed to be true, otherwise all assumptions are meaningless."
"Under this premise, the boy is hesitant between flowers and his wife. He is simply mentally ill."
"And the flower fairy, who was so moved by the boy's love for flowers that she came down to earth... her brain is even more sick."
"Finally, there is the god. In the story, the white-haired old man is definitely a god incarnate, deliberately testing the young man's humanity... Even mortals like us know that human nature can never withstand any test. The god didn't know this, so he must be mentally ill."
Tang San was speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that the motivations behind the characters' behavior in this story were really problematic and did not seem like the way normal people should think.
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes vigorously and didn't bother with Zhou Qing.
"Hahaha!"
Dugu Bo also laughed when he heard this. "To sum it up, in one sentence, they are actually all too idle, right? The boy was so idle that he could bury the petals, the flower fairy was so idle that he could descend to the earth because of the boy's actions, and the god was so idle that he could test the boy's humanity—"
"If I could continue writing this story, I would have an idea. Since the idle gods wanted to test the boy's love, they must not only be testing the boy's humanity, but also the flower fairy... The flower fairy believed that the boy loved herself more than flowers, but in the end, the boy died to prove that he loved flowers more than the flower fairy."
"So, this is a tragedy. The boy died, and the flower fairy must have collapsed in the end and fell into the mortal world... Um, what happened to you two?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the two men either in deep thought or with their eyes wide open, as if they had thought of something incredible. Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel strange.
What did Tang San think of?
Qiankun Wenqing Valley. He knew the origin of one of the three treasure bowls very well. After obtaining the "Soul Saint inheritance of the Holy Soul Village", he also found time to mention it to Zhou Qing.
Originally, Tang San would not have connected the story of Acacia Heartbroken Red with the origin of Qiankun Love Valley, but Dugu Bo's thoughts diverged like this -
The two stories can be connected without any obstacles!
Between loving his wife and loving flowers, the young man chose loving flowers, and died alone in the end, leaving only a trace of his blood and sweat to dye the peony, creating the red of lovesickness.
And his beloved wife, who was also a flower fairy, was so heartbroken when she learned that her husband loved flowers more that she fell into the mortal world and died, and turned into the Qiankun Valley of Love.
However, Zhou Qing believed that the story could not be told in just a few words, but there was no doubt that based on the historical similarities, the gods in the divine world would definitely not have anything to do with human affairs.
"In other words, this immortal product is the only one that can be used to eat that one plant?" Xiao Wu licked her lips, "What effect does it have?"
"Take it before becoming a Title Douluo. It will increase your soul power by at least ten levels. It can also cleanse your essence and marrow. It is also a healing medicine that can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh." Tang San said, "But we still have to wait and see the specific effects."
"Oh, just bite it directly, right?" Xiao Wu opened her mouth and bit down, only to feel that she bit into gold and iron. She made two "Pah" sounds and cursed, "You lied to me?"
"It has to be picked before it can be eaten. Otherwise, even though it may be soft and swaying in the wind, it is actually indestructible. Even a Titled Douluo-level warrior cannot hurt it in the slightest."
Tang San was not angry either, and told the method of picking: spit a mouthful of heart blood on the petals, miss the lover, and move the Acacia Heartbroken Red.
However, in Zhou Qing's words, it is to use heart and blood as a medium to connect the flowers and the spiritual power of the picker, so that the flowers can sense a certain kind of spiritual power fluctuations generated when a person misses someone. It is equivalent to matching the correct key, and when it fits, the flower can be picked.
Xiao Wu did as she was told, and she squeezed out a mouthful of blood, which dripped onto the paper. In her mind, she began to imagine the people she missed: Zhou Qing, Tang San, her mother, and even Romantina's figure flashed by.
Finally, Xiao Wu was shocked and took a step back, throwing away the Acacia Heartbreak Red, cursing: "What kind of crap is this Acacia Heartbreak Red? It's so unlucky, it's a waste of Sister Xiao Wu's hard work!"
Zhou Qing walked over, picked up the Acacia Heartbroken Red, and under Tang San's trembling eyes, dipped the flower into the Yangquan Fire Pool of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, washed away Xiao Wu's hard work on it, and said: "It's true, this thing is really hard enough that even the spring water of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire can't hurt it at all."
Afterwards, Zhou Qing reached out to Xiao Wu and asked for the egg of the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Because of Xiao Wu's identity, after arriving in Tiandou City, Zhou Qing gave this egg to Xiao Wu just in case.
And Dugu Bo didn't notice Xiao Wu's identity at all - well, even if this old monster has the skull of Medusa, he is still not good at mental power.
In addition, there are Qiluo tulips here, and their fragrance further enhances the little soul beast aura left in Xiao Wu's body, so she doesn't have to worry about her identity being exposed.
【Try it out, are these two things really related? 】
When the eggs of the Goddess of Light Butterfly came to the outside world, they seemed to sense the existence of the Acacia Heartbroken Red at the first time, and they actively floated and landed on the pistil of the Acacia Heartbroken Red.
The Heartbroken Acacia Red also sensed the arrival of the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Its petals opened and closed, emitting a strange aura. It unexpectedly broke away from Zhou Qing's palm and flew in the air with the egg of the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Then they gradually approached and merged together...
