Chapter 71: What is love?

~8 min read 1,455 words

……

"This flower... can understand human speech?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

Yue Guan's eyelid twitched slightly. "It shouldn't be. Although immortal herbs have spirits, they cannot understand humans. It's just that this Xiangsi Danchang Hong has already recognized its master, and the flower is connected to his heart, so it can feel his emotions."

"It's just..."

The legend of the Xiangsi Danchang Hong is true!

But! This Xiangsi Danchang Hong, this King of Immortal Herbs! Was led astray by Nan Feng!! Immortal herbs have spirits!

Nan Feng can lead immortal herbs astray, proving that this guy is truly crazy from the bottom of his heart! Even this kind of spiritual object of heaven and earth has been infected!

This guy is the real deadly poison!

……

After handling the matter of the Xiangsi Danchang Hong, Nan Feng and Bibi Dong temporarily left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yue Guan and Gui Mei stayed behind to guard the immortal herbs and, by the way, popularize the purpose of their Anti-Feudalism, Anti-Landlord, Anti-Hegemony Alliance of the Unrighteous to Dugu Bo.

Of course, the key steps still required Nan Feng to do it himself.

"Really don't plan to try it?"

On the way back to Tiandou City, Nan Feng held the Xiangsi Danchang Hong and looked at Bibi Dong.

The Xiangsi Danchang Hong not only recognized its master but also woke up from its spiritual world from which it could not extricate itself.

Moreover, Nan Feng awakening the Xiangsi Danchang Hong wasn't that simple. He actually first had his soul leave his body, broke into the spiritual world of the Xiangsi Danchang Hong, and scolded it.

This process was actually very long, but the passage of time in the spiritual world is different from the real world, so the few seconds in the eyes of Bibi Dong and the others had already passed for several days for the two parties involved, Nan Feng and the Xiangsi Danchang Hong.

And after recognizing its master, the Lovesick Heartbroken Red is now quite obedient. Nan Feng told it to stay on the Wujue Stone, and it stayed obediently, only, the blooming appearance that had already bloomed could not be taken back.

However, the Xiangsi Danchang Hong can still sense the emotions in the hearts of the people in front of it.

In other words, the current Xiangsi Danchang Hong is a natural lie detector! "Do you really want to know?" Bibi Dong turned her head away with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Nan Feng didn't speak, just placed the Xiangsi Danchang Hong in Bibi Dong's hand, then leaned on Dugu Yan's leg and looked at Bibi Dong expectantly.

"……" Dugu Yan.

What a strange feeling!

If she remembered correctly, Nan Feng and Pope Bibi Dong are a young couple, right? You let Bibi Dong try it, and as a result, you leaned on me?

Do you think this is appropriate?

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, turned her back to Nan Feng, was silent for a long time, and tentatively spat out a mouthful of heart's blood.

Time passed second by second, and the Xiangsi Danchang Hong had no reaction at all.

A gust of wind blew, and Bibi Dong disappeared from the carriage, leaving only the Xiangsi Danchang Hong swaying innocently in place.

"Why be so serious?" Nan Feng shook his head, sat up, and put the Xiangsi Danchang Hong away.

"You don't seem surprised." Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

If the relationship between these two is real, then seeing such a scene, shouldn't you be very disappointed?

"What's there to be surprised about?" Nan Feng said.

"Don't I know what she's like?"

"Then you..." Dugu Yan looked strange.

Knowing the result, and still tearing your face off?

"Just seeing if she dares to face herself." Nan Feng said.

"If she didn't even dare to try, then maybe I would really be disappointed, but she tried. From this point of view, she can be considered to have made progress."

"Making progress, even if it's just one step, is better than standing still."

"You don't mind?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion. Such a thing, if it were a real couple, how could there be no reaction at all?

"Mind what?" Nan Feng asked back.

"Mind that her intentions are not pure, mind that her heart is not so pure toward me?"

"How many people in this world dare to say they have a clear conscience?"

"Only ignorant love can be pure, just like this flower. It trapped itself in that one-third of an acre of love, unable to see half of the outside world, because it doesn't even know things outside of love, so it is pure."

"Most people's love is desire-love, selfish love, desire wrapped in the cloak of love, selfishness wearing a selfless mask. For example, you have a boyfriend, you think you love him very much, you don't even allow him to look at another woman on a daily basis, even if it's just the most ordinary question, you don't allow it, for fear that he will be snatched away by another woman."

"This is desire-love. You think the other party belongs to you. Your so-called love is just a hegemony that completely serves your own desires. As for whether the other party will feel suffocated and painful because of this love, you don't care at all, because you only feel that you love him."

"The essence of this kind of love is that you only care about your own desires. Your own feelings far outweigh the other party's feelings. You don't love him, you only love your own desires."

"But many people always like to treat this desire as true love, forcibly imposing their own will on the other party, thereby turning love into hate."

"Another extreme love is romantic love, which is what you think: love someone, you should love him without reservation, even if you pay everything. The love recognized by the Xiangsi Danchang Hong is also this kind of love, and it is also the infatuation in your eyes."

Dugu Yan was somewhat confused. "This kind of love... is it wrong?"

"Is it right?" Nan Feng asked back.

"Before loving others, you must first love yourself. If you can't even love yourself, how can you love others? If you can't even cherish yourself, how can you truly cherish others?"

"Abandoning yourself to love others, then what about yourself? People are quite fragile when they let down all their defenses, and they are also very easy to get hurt. The so-called infatuation is just being immersed in your own world. In the end, it is just a kind of self-satisfaction."

"Most love is tossed between romantic love and desire-love. Young people have more romantic love, and when they grow up, romantic love is gone, leaving only desire-love, with everything based on satisfying one's own desires."

"To put it bluntly, it's for sex, for that little bit of physiological pleasure."

Dugu Yan looked strange. "Then what about true love?"

"Love yourself first, then go find the person who is worth your love and also loves you. True love is a two-way rush, not wishful thinking." Nan Feng said.

"True love is not mutual torture, nor is it mutual humbleness."

"Blindly paying, even if you don't get any response, you still don't want to give up; that's not love, that's stupid!"

"If you want to find true love, you have to figure out that you and that person have both commonalities and characteristics. The two are contradictory, but they can promote each other's development. In opposition, seek unity."

"True love is mutual promotion, not mutual torture; it is mutual benefit and symbiosis, not parasitism."

"……"

"Don't understand?" Nan Feng asked.

"Hmm." Dugu Yan nodded in a daze.

So complicated, so contradictory.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as you are willing to listen and willing to learn, then you can still be saved." Nan Feng said.

"If you listen and listen, and before I finish speaking, you jump up to oppose, stubborn and opinionated, that is the hopeless idiot."

"Having a disease is a small matter; everyone has small problems. There is no natural perfect person. What is important is knowing your mistakes, being willing to admit your mistakes, and being willing to change."

"Then what about you?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Are you sick?"

"Of course, and I'm not lightly sick." Nan Feng closed his eyes and leaned back.

"I don't even know if it can be cured."

"What disease?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

Nan Feng opened his eyes and glanced at Dugu Yan.

"The disease of meddling in other people's business."
