"Hiss~!"
Seeing Ye Qiu still hesitating, Xiao Wu bit down on his shoulder.
"Are you, are you going or not?! Do you still have a place for Xiao Wu in your heart?!"
Xiao Wu's face flushed red, her crimson eyes filled with stubbornness as she looked at him with teary eyes.
Both of her small hands were tightly grabbing Ye Qiu's collar, exerting some force, and her fingertips were turning white.
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu, who was gasping for breath out of anger, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Guh~" His throat moved slightly, feeling a bit dry.
" persuade!"
"Maybe she'll even force you!"
The words that Dugu Yan said to Ye Qiu that night kept echoing in his ears!
Silence for a moment.
Pressing against Xiao Wu's forehead, he nodded slightly.
The breath he exhaled was considerably warmer.
Even his voice trembled slightly.
"I'll listen to you!"
"Heh."
Ye Qiu's decision caused Xiao Wu's breathing to hitch, almost unable to catch her breath.
Her heartbeat suddenly intensified.
Her body temperature, the glow on her face, were both hot and rosy.
Releasing Ye Qiu's collar, she wrapped her arms around his neck, tightening them slowly.
Pressing him against herself, she got even closer to Ye Qiu.
"Um, then, let's go~"
Her red lips touched his ear, and the heat wave scorched his heart.
Although her voice was faint and stuttering, it carried a lot of heat, causing Ye Qiu's face to flush even more.
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu's heart was not calm either.
He stood still, taking deep breaths, trying to control his excited emotions.
"Xiao Wu~ let's not go there! Let's go to Biyou Village."
"Um! Wherever you go, I'll go, Xiao Qiu."
Her feverish and softened body pressed against Ye Qiu's back, feeling a bit damp and warm.
In front of the pink rose hotel, Ye Qiu activated his divine might space once again.
His figure dissipated and slowly disappeared into the night.
...
Biyou Village, stone house, under the peach tree.
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu appeared out of thin air here.
The village was peaceful at this moment.
In order to have a good rest for the next day's work, the villagers who worked hard had already fallen asleep early.
Silence enveloped everything.
Only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard, sometimes near, sometimes far.
Apart from the moonlight.
There were only the fluorescent dots in the grass.
Carrying Xiao Wu on his back, Ye Qiu was about to enter the house when a gust of cold wind blew, clearing his mind a bit.
"Xiao Qiu? Where are we going?"
Xiao Wu, who was still leaning on Ye Qiu's back, looked at him strangely.
He was walking towards a grassy area not far from the stone house.
"I have something to tell you first!"
Ye Qiu shook his head, still focused on the task at hand.
"Are you regretting it?!" Xiao Wu nervously hugged his head, her eyebrows furrowed.
"How could I! I have a gift for you."
"A gift?!"
"Yeah!"
During their conversation, the two had already arrived at the grassy area.
Ye Qiu put her down and then kneeled down.
He hugged Xiao Wu in his arms and wiped away the moisture on her face.
The wind tonight was exceptionally cool.
Xiao Wu nestled in Ye Qiu's arms, shrinking her body, her small hands grabbing onto Ye Qiu's clothes, afraid that he would run away.
"Xiao Qiu!" Looking up with a serious expression.
"Um?" Ye Qiu nodded slightly, indulging in her charm.
"Hold me tighter."
The red glow half-covered her face.
Her body squirmed, squeezing closer to her lover's embrace.
Ye Qiu moved his hands to her small shoulders and slender waist.
Rubbing and generating warmth, he gently pulled her closer into his embrace.
In the sky.
The dark clouds gradually covered the new moon, as if a rainstorm was coming.
Without further delay, Ye Qiu rested his cheek on the head of the petite body in his arms.
The divine might space activated, and a vortex appeared, presenting a gorgeous and beautiful blood-red peony flower on the empty space in front of them.
"Is this the gift you want to give me? A flower?"
Xiao Wu looked at the sudden appearance of a peony-like blood-red flower in front of her, feeling that it seemed a bit familiar?
Below was a strange stone, followed by a slender branch.
That branch supported several slender leaves, forming the calyx of the flower.
At the very top were several slender petals stained with a few drops of crimson blood, forming a blooming, gorgeous, and stunning blood-red peony.
Xiao Wu's heart trembled, her crimson eyes somewhat dazed, reflecting the shadow of the strange red flower in front of her.
She had already recognized what this thing was.
"Do you still remember the Yearning Heartbroken Red?" Ye Qiu hugged her, his gentle voice sounding in her ear.
She remembered.
When she heard that this fairy grass was a symbol of faithful love, the longing in her eyes back then.
"Of course, I remember! Including that story."
Xiao Wu's eyes shimmered with waves of light.
It seemed as if she was immersed in memories.
When Ye Qiu gave her that booklet filled with strange flowers and plants, he had already told her the information about this fairy grass.
The legend was a poignant story.
Legend had it that the flower fairy from the upper realm fell in love with a young man who took care of flowers. She secretly left the immortal realm, descended to the mortal world, and fell in love with him, enjoying the joy of fish and water.
But good times didn't last long.
After all, immortals and mortals were different. The flower fairy was forced to return to the upper realm.
The young man fell into lovesickness and decadence.
Later, with the guidance of a wise man.
It turned out that his wife's original body was a peony.
As long as it was destroyed, his wife would lose her immortal body forever, fall into the mortal world, and reunite with him.
He, although deeply loved his wife, couldn't bear to destroy the peony flower.
Since then, he resumed his care for the flowers.
He cared for her even more, weeping day and night, heartbroken.
In the end, consumed by lovesickness, he passed away, and as he was dying, he shed blood onto the peony petals, hence the scarlet hue on the petals.
Thus, the Lovesick Scarlet was born!
"Xiao Qiu~ Are you really giving it to me?"
Extending her hand, she gently touched the crimson petal, looking at Ye Qiu with some hesitation in her eyes.
"Of course! Hurry up and pick it!" Ye Qiu nodded decisively. Ever since his time at the Shrek Academy, he had the idea of bringing it to Xiao Wu.
Now he was simply putting that idea into action.
Looking into Ye Qiu's eyes, Xiao Wu cupped his cheeks and leaned in to give him a sweet, tender kiss.
Ye Qiu fell straight down, stiff as a board.
A swift change of position, using his heart, affection, and diligence.
He never doubted that Xiao Wu couldn't pick the Lovesick Scarlet.
After years of waiting, wasn't it more convincing than a flower?!
As the cold wind blew, on the knee-high grass, the greenery swayed with the wind.
The Lovesick Scarlet, still swaying and emitting a blood-red halo, illuminated the couple kissing on the grass.
Gradually.
Xiao Wu's hand, which was clutching Ye Qiu's collar, lost strength and slowly fell onto the thick grass.
She just lay there, slightly tilting her head back, acquiescing and yearning for the sweet, irresistible sensation flooding her heart and lungs.
The two locked eyes, azure gazing into crimson.
Xiao Wu's face flushed.
Though her gaze dimmed, it still held a hint of charm.
As the commotion settled, Xiao Wu lay flat, her head feeling a bit light, breathing heavily but not moving.
Ye Qiu buried his head in her neck, breathing somewhat rapidly.
As thoughts swirled in his mind, a faint blue halo spread from Ye Qiu's center.
The Blue Silver Grass on the ground began to stir, as if paying homage to an emperor.
A natural fragrance wafted into their noses, and bits of green light were absorbed into their bodies.
The two quickly recovered.
"Xiao, Xiao Qiu~ You've changed! You're not behaving yourself... and it hurts a bit."
Xiao Wu pushed Ye Qiu, who was lying on top of her, aside, lowering her head and frowning.
Her tone carried a mix of coquettishness and resentment.
"Uh... Sorry, I'll pay more attention in the future!" Ye Qiu grinned awkwardly.
Perhaps it was because he had been bitten by Dugu Yan, or maybe it was just the inherent flaws of men, always seeking something during intimacy, never content.
"Well, it's, it's okay."
Her mention of the future made her already rosy complexion even more vibrant.
"Uh?" Ye Qiu raised his head. The air seemed to have become more humid, and the wind stronger.
"It's about to rain, Xiao Wu. You should pick this Fairy Peony now! You remember how, right?"
"Yes! I remember." Xiao Wu straightened her clothes and took the Yearning Heartbroken Red Ye Qiu handed her.
She glanced at Ye Qiu and pursed her lips.
With a sweet taste in her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the petal.
An extraordinary flower chooses its master.
When picking the Yearning Heartbroken Red, one's thoughts must be solely focused on their beloved, with sincere devotion.
Any hint of doubt, even if it leads to spitting blood and death, will prevent the flower from being picked.
Below, the rock where the Lovesick Scarlet is rooted is called the Wujue.
If forcibly plucked, the Yearning Heartbroken Red will lose all its medicinal properties.
However, if safely picked, as long as the flower remains with its owner, it will never wither.
As Xiao Wu's blood touched the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the petal stopped swaying and fell into her palm.
With a smile from the depths of her heart, like a child boasting about her achievements or getting full marks on an exam.
"Xiao Qiu! I picked it!"
Her smile was as radiant and stunning as the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her hand.
"Uh-huh! I see it!" Ye Qiu hugged her again, his tone becoming serious and earnest.
"Promise me, in the future, never let this flower leave your side. Always carry it with you!"
Of course, Xiao Qiu doesn't need to say much about this kind of thing, she will carry it with her.
Because this was a testimony of her feelings for Ye Qiu, and even more so because it was given to her by Xiao Qiu.
But Ye Qiu's tone at this time seemed to indicate that this instruction was somewhat unusual.
"Huh?" His seriousness surprised Xiao Wu as she nestled into his embrace, a mixture of shyness and resentment in her voice.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qiu?" Xiao Wu rested her chin on Ye Qiu's shoulder, face to face, a bit puzzled.
"Tomorrow morning, two level ninety-six Titled Douluo will appear in Suotuo City. I'm afraid they'll discover your identity. As long as the Yearning Heartbroken Red is with you, your aura can be concealed."
"But... My soul beast aura can be concealed a long time ago?!, right?!"
"Huh? When did that happen?! How did you do it?!" Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise.
"Um... Sorry, Xiao Qiu, I lied to you before." Xiao Wu lowered her head, feeling a bit lost as she held the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"you lied to me?"
Ye Qiu was dumbfounded, a little confused.
Xiao Wu began to explain in a low voice, the other functions of her external soul bone— A millennium external soul bone — Bionic Remnant Chrysalis.
It could change her own aura, concealing her soul beast identity.
Seeing Ye Qiu's face darken, Xiao Wu became somewhat uneasy.
Setting down the Yearning Heartbroken Red, she took Ye Qiu's clothes corner and gently pulled.
"Xiao Qiu, don't be angry."
"..." Ye Qiu remained silent, shaking his head without answering.
Why should he be angry with her?
She would rather live under the surveillance of the Titled Douluo than be a burden to him.
Always vigilant, waiting for him for so many years...
"Xiao Qiu~?" Once again, Xiao Wu squeezed into Ye Qiu's embrace, cupping his face, her eyes reddening, gently rubbing his eyes. "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"It's not your fault that I'm angry!" Ye Qiu hugged her, indeed feeling angry, but only at himself. "I'll never leave you alone again!"
"Uh-huh! I'll always be with Xiao Qiu!" With a smile like the crescent moon in the sky.
"In that case, you should eat it now!" Ye Qiu retrieved the Yearning Heartbroken Red floating on the ground and handed it over.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then objected. "I, I want to keep it!"
"No! You must, now, in front of me!" Ye Qiu's voice was resolute, not allowing Xiao Wu to refute.
According to Tang San, after consuming the Yearning Heartbroken Red, one would gain immortality like heaven and earth.
Not only would the body undergo comprehensive transformation, but at least ten levels of soul power would also be increased!
Ye Qiu just wanted Xiao Wu to mature as soon as possible.
In this world of the survival of the fittest, strength was everything!
"Uh... Alright, I'll eat it!"
Seeing Ye Qiu's unwavering demeanor, Xiao Wu could only nod obediently.
With her mouth slightly open, she brought the Yearning Heartbroken Red to her lips.
As if sentient, the flower suddenly turned into a stream of light and swiftly entered Xiao Wu's mouth, disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Wu's crimson eyes sparkled with red light.
She stood there, a bit dazed, her mind feeling heavy.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red transmitted some information to its owner.
"Xiao Wu?" Seeing Xiao Wu standing still, Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, reaching out to shake her in front of her.
"I'm fine, Xiao Qiu!"
The light in her eyes dimmed.
Pushing away his hand, Xiao Wu leaped up and threw herself into his arms.
The color of the Yearning Heartbroken Red seemed to transfer to her face.
"Well, you ate it, why is there no reaction at all?"
Ye Qiu was once again puzzled, wondering if what Tang San said was all lies?
"I, I need to digest it." Xiao Wu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Is that so?"
"Of course!"
Ye Qiu was still a bit worried, so he used his sharingan eye of insight to see through her. Although her flawless jade body was eye-catching, he didn't dare linger, just looking through her belly.
Sure enough, there was a red light emanating from Xiao Wu's body, continuously entering her body.
"Xiao Qiu~ What are you looking at? Why is your forehead so hot?"
"Ah? It's, it's nothing."
Grabbing her soft arm, Ye Qiu averted his gaze.
Suddenly, fine raindrops fell from the sky.
Dousing the heat on his face, the strong wind came, and the raindrops grew larger and more frequent.
"Shall we go back inside?"
"Mm!"
Holding Xiao Wu's hand, they quickly ran towards the stone house.
After a few years.
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu were reunited here.
There wasn't much dust inside, probably because the old man often had people come to clean it up.
"Xiao Qiu, I want to sit there!"
Xiao Wu tugged at him, her face blushing as she pointed to a corner, where there was a small wooden horse still covered in cobwebs.
"Mm!" Ye Qiu smiled gently and went outside to collect some rainwater, then picked up a cloth to wipe it clean.
Xiao Wu sat down on it, fortunately, she wasn't heavy.
The wooden horse was made by Ye Qiu himself, and the quality was excellent.
"You sit here for a while, I'll clean up quickly."
"Mm, you go ahead! Big Sister Xiao Wu will supervise you!"
Xiao Wu gently swayed her body, and the wooden horse beneath her also rocked.
Under Ye Qiu's teasing gaze, she blushed shyly.
Ye Qiu took the tools and began to slowly clean the dust and cobwebs inside the house.
Xiao Wu sat quietly beside him, with a soft smile on her face.
The month of living together with Ye Qiu was the happiest memory in her heart.
Her body swayed gently, but there was never a moment when she didn't think of Ye Qiu.
Her face flushed from time to time, as if enduring something.
Outside the house, in the water tank, several lotus plants and some lotus leaves were growing, enduring the wind and rain.
Ye Qiu worked quickly and soon cleaned up the small house.
Flames flickered at his fingertips.
This was his soul skill, using the ultimate fire of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, turning his soul power into flames, a self-created soul skill!
Pointing towards the fireplace in the middle of the room, the dry firewood inside immediately ignited.
The whole house became much warmer.
"Xiao Qiu! What are you doing!?"
Ye Qiu stood in front of the stone bed he had arranged, preparing to make the bed, but was stopped by Xiao Wu.
"Why are you preparing two nests?!"
Xiao Wu jumped in front of him, a little fierce, questioning him.
"What nests?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
Xiao Wu blushed.
She grabbed Ye Qiu's collar forcefully.
"Didn't you promise me before? Have you forgotten?!"
"Cough, I, I didn't!" Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed, he almost forgot.
"You go away, let Big Sister Xiao Wu handle it!"
She pushed Ye Qiu away forcefully, and with a wave of her hand, two sets of bedding appeared on the bed.
Ye Qiu stood aside, watching her bend down and spread a clean white blanket.
On it was embroidered a pure white rabbit.
It was the bedsheet Ye Qiu had given her before.
He was very familiar with what she was covering with it, the bed they had slept on together in this stone house.
Xiao Wu worked quickly and soon finished spreading out the bedding, taking out two pillows.
Then she sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
"Come over here."
Looking up at him, her face blushing, spreading to her neck.
Her two small hands were on her thighs, constantly fidgeting, expecting.
Ye Qiu also stood dumbly.
Looking at this irresistible beauty in front of him.
In the fireplace, the dry firewood burned fiercely, making the temperature in the room rise.
The firelight reflected on his face, making his expression unclear.
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, her stubborn eyes filled with grievances.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, easing his heavy breathing, he should take the initiative at this time.
He walked slowly to Xiao Wu's side.
Sat down beside her.
Ye Qiu could clearly feel her body tremble slightly.
"Xiao Wu, we really..."
"Mm! Just today! I should be the first one!"
Xiao Wu's voice was firm, but her body was trembling slightly.
"Hu." Ye Qiu swallowed his saliva and slowly wrapped his arms around her waist.
Xiao Wu also turned her head, her small hand supporting his chest, offering herself.
The two slowly lay down.
"Xiao Qiu."
Their clothes slipped off, leaving only a small garment.
It was hot, the air inside the room, pressing against their bare skin.
Ye Qiu seemed to see Xiao Wu's true self, the the snow-white and pink soft-bone charm rabbit reflected in his eyes.
