Chapter 189: Lovesick Heartbroken Red

~14 min read 2,671 words

After paying a huge price, this valley, originally full of crises, seemed to have turned into a smooth path.

This point could be seen from the attitude of the Flaming Apricot Beauty; who would be willing to offend a terrifying existence that harbored a 700,000-year-old soul beast inside them, and one who was the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North at that!

That was a truly terrifying existence capable of destroying this place in an instant, so to Youyou, the current Su Yu was undoubtedly an existence not to be provoked; although Su Yu was only an unremarkable Soul King, the Xue Di behind him was no pushover.

Returning to the presence of the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb, Su Yu lowered his head to glance at the book in his hand and said, "Youyou, I will take your Silk Luo Heart, but as compensation, I can tell you the story of that person."

"Although it pains me, I would be even happier if you could return the Silk Luo Heart to me." Youyou looked at Su Yu with some heartache; every time it thought about how its Silk Luo Heart, which it had painstakingly cultivated for ten thousand years, was now half-gone, it felt unbearable pain.

"I can't help it either. Although I came here together with Xue Di, do you think I can make a 700,000-year-old Xue Di, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, listen to me? I am just a Soul King, just an ordinary human."

The one who did the bad thing was Xue Di, so what does that have to do with me, Su Yu?

"That's true, this matter cannot be blamed on you." Youyou had a simple mind and naturally did not know that the culprit behind all this was Su Yu.

…………

After briefly finishing the story of Tang San before he made his fortune, he walked quickly back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sat down cross-legged, and began to read the book that Xue Di had extorted from Youyou.

This book was entirely snow-white, and it was unknown what material it was made of; the book itself was soft, a bit like silk, but much tougher than silk, and it felt faintly warm and moist to the touch.

There were no words on the cover. Nor was there a signature. Su Yu knew this was the remainder of the Xuantian Treasure Record, and he flipped open the first page of the book.

There were not many words on the first page, and the handwriting was ancient and imposing.

"I am very happy that someone can see my message. Being able to pass the test of the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb proves that you already have the qualifications to read this book. This book was written by the Tang Sect ancestor Tang San, and it records the differences between various immortal herbs and poisonous herbs. There are also some lost methods of using poison from the Tang Sect. After learning them, please leave the book behind and use its abilities with caution."

Leave it behind? Just kidding. If you really hope that those fellows in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can beat Xue Di, then I will leave it, otherwise, this book is impossible to return.

Carefully flipping through the contents of the book, Su Yu also roughly understood why the Tang Sect had declined back then.

The reason why a Hidden Weapon is called a Hidden Weapon lies in the subtlety of sneak attacks and deadly poison.

After losing the essence of the Hidden Weapon, coupled with the Tang Sect's stubbornness, it naturally declined gradually as time passed; in fact, it shouldn't be called a decline, to be precise, it should be called 'when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it.'

Su Yu closed the book and came to where Youyou was, "Youyou, that person said I could take no more than seven immortal herbs, right?"

Youyou looked at Su Yu and said with guarded caution, "You don't want to take all of us away, do you?"

"No, no, I was just asking." Su Yu waved his hand, "However, if I want to in the future, maybe I really will come back."

"Then forget it, you'd better not come back. I still feel heartache for my Silk Luo Heart..." Youyou shook its petals and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Su Yu looked at Youyou and said slowly, "Youyou, I suddenly feel that Xue Di was still too merciful to only take half of the Silk Luo Heart."

"Don't come over here!" Youyou looked at Su Yu's gaze and felt that its life and safety were completely unprotected at this moment.

"…………"

Su Yu turned and left this place, his gaze involuntarily cast in one direction; there, it was exactly where the Lovesick Heartbroken Grass grew.

In these few days, he had completely organized all the contents of the Xuantian Treasure Record, and now all he needed was time to digest and absorb it.

"Human lifespans have always been very short. The only human with the longest lifespan was the Sea God Poseidon, who used to conquer the seas back then, making all Sea Soul Beasts and Soul Masters submit. It was from that time on that humans thought they could live to be a thousand years old, but in reality, even after reaching Limit Douluo, the lifespan is only a few hundred years..."

Looking at that weak little white flower that seemed as if it could be blown over by a gust of wind, the white flower was shaped like a peony, but it was thinner than a peony. It had no fragrance, no other decorations, and not even a single leaf. All it had was that faint touch of blood red, filled with sorrowful blood color.

Lovesick Heartbroken Red...

Finally, the time has come for us to meet.

Looking at the little flower swaying in the wind, thoughts surged in Su Yu's mind.

"I never expected that one day I would also have ripples in my heart at such an important moment. But one day, I will tell you everything, Dong'er. The rest of my life is still long, listen to me tell you slowly."

Under the gaze of Xue Di and the many immortal herbs, a ray of light slowly emerged in front of Su Yu, and behind that ray of light floated a pair of three-colored wings.

Puchi!

A mouthful of scorching blood was spat out from Su Yu's mouth and covered the Lovesick Heartbroken Red. Su Yu watched the ray of light with gentle eyes and slowly reached out his palm toward that ray of light.

His palm grasped the air, and that ray of light also held Su Yu's hand.

Xue Di could clearly feel that he was smiling, and that ray of light was also smiling. That kind of mellow emotion was not as intense as having experienced hardships, nor as gentle as smooth sailing.

"Walking all the way here, stumbling, how many years have you waited for me..."

A layer of holy light quietly radiated from the little flower. The light continued to spread, and finally, it bloomed with an unusual color in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was trembling slightly, and the rhythm of the trembling seemed to be plucking Su Yu's heartstrings. Past events flashed before Su Yu's eyes one by one.

I promised to live with you and study together, but I always left alone, leaving you behind in Shrek Academy to wait bitterly...

Three years of memories, how can I engrave them into my soul?

Four years of waiting, how can I make up for your pain?

It's been seven years, Dong'er, do you hate me...

Deep-seated lovesickness is hard to break, a heart's blood and tears, one has no regrets...

Su Yu smiled, tears from the corners of his eyes dripping continuously. He gazed at the memories constantly replaying in his eyes, and the various emotions he had suppressed also erupted completely at this moment.

Rays of light emerged; at first, they were just blurry shadows, but in the end, they turned into scenes that seemed as if they were materialized.

"This is, human Spirit Visualization!"

There was undisguised surprise in Xue Di's beautiful eyes. Not only Xue Di, but even the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb, Flaming Apricot Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, these immortal herbs, were all looking at this scene in disbelief.

They could feel that intense emotion; if it weren't for the fact that their strength was all greater than Su Yu's, they would have been lost in Su Yu's memories by now.

The moment the Lovesick Heartbroken Red flew up from the Wujue Stone and landed in Su Yu's arms, the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb, Flaming Apricot Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and all the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well closed and bowed their heads. This was respect for Su Yu's love, and this was also respect for a human being able to step into Spirit Visualization with pure love!

"Dong'er, wait for me..."

Putting away the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, Su Yu slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When the highly infectious Spirit Visualization scene disappeared, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well returned to tranquility.

"You'd better explain to this Emperor why this kid fainted." Xue Di looked coldly at the group of immortal herbs.

"His own Spirit Power could not possibly achieve Spirit Visualization, but with the help of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, he picked the Lovesick Heartbroken Red with his heart's blood, which also triggered all the emotions he had suppressed in his heart. If nothing goes wrong, he will remain unconscious for a while because his mental energy and Spirit Power were exhausted too much." The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass looked at Su Yu and then said.

"I hope this kid is fine, otherwise, all of you will be buried with him." After dropping this sentence, Xue Di returned to the ice spring and continued to cultivate.

After Xue Di left, the group of immortal herbs gathered together.

Youyou said, "You say, what exactly is the relationship between Su Yu and Xue Di? Xue Di protects him so much, could it be..."

"Impossible. Although this kid is indeed a bit different, that is a Soul Beast, and he is a human!" Ajiao shook her head, clearly not feeling that Youyou's wild imagination was correct.

Bajiao spoke indifferently: "Things are not necessarily as Youyou thinks. However, it seems this human named Su Yu is very important to Xue Di, and since Xue Di and he came together, it indicates that Xue Di seems to have a symbiotic relationship with this human."

Qirong spoke up: "Don't you all think this human seems completely different from other human Soul Masters?"

………………

The many immortal herbs began to discuss it one after another. However, in the end, Xue Di was truly annoyed by their strange conjectures, and finally slapped each immortal herb; the most gossipy Youyou even had one of her petals knocked off...

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Lake, Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion.

The Golden Tree radiated a gentle aura of life, but within this gentle aura, there was a trace of something different.

Wang Dong'er sat quietly inside the Golden Tree House. The window was open, and she looked at Sea God Lake. She did not know why, but on this day, her heart ached; that unspeakable pain made her feel panic in her heart.

She had been sitting here for an entire morning, and she also did not know why she would feel such panic.

Over the past half month, she had continuously tried to contact Su Yu's family, but the final answer she received was that Su Yu had left the Star Luo Empire and headed to the Sunset Forest.

Ten days ago, there was no news of Su Yu at all; it was only known that the last place he appeared was the capital of the Heaven Soul Empire.

She no longer knew how many times she had felt this heartache; she only remembered that it seemed from the moment she woke up this morning, she had constantly felt as if she had lost the most important thing in her life.

When she first discovered that Su Yu had left Shrek Academy and disappeared again, her heart was filled with helplessness in addition to the distress.

She understood Su Yu's actions and could also empathize with Su Yu's feelings.

During the period of Su Yu's departure, Bei Bei and Tang Ya had come, and her partners had all come to talk with her, helping her analyze Su Yu's situation and telling Wang Dong'er about Su Yu's latest status from time to time.

But today, Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao also came. Wang Dong'er told Xuan Lao and the others about her situation, but after an investigation by the Sea God Pavilion, no problems were found, and it could only be attributed to Wang Dong'er missing Su Yu too much.

She, who had originally held expectations, suddenly felt afraid today. She was so afraid that Su Yu would go and never return like back then, and afraid that Su Yu would end up dying in the schemes of those ill-intentioned people in the Star Luo Empire, just like those seniors who had sacrificed while executing Shrek inspection missions.

Tears flowed down her cheeks once again uncontrollably. Wang Dong'er slowly stood up and gently stroked the Red Dust Attachment that Su Yu had left her.

Su Yu, where exactly are you?

Won't you come back and see me...

…………

When Su Yu woke up again, it was already five or six days later.

Looking at Xue Di, who was still in the middle of cultivation, Su Yu said: "With your current state, you can leave me and move freely for a short time. I am going back for a trip and will return in two days."

"Go then, just don't die outside." Xue Di looked at Su Yu, not knowing if it was concern or a curse.

"I know, I'll try my best to come back and die in front of you."

With a thought, Su Yu put on his Blood Dragon Battle Armor and disappeared from Xue Di's field of vision.

"I hope you arrogant kid doesn't run into any trouble, otherwise this Emperor will have to die along with you."

Her beautiful eyes closed slightly, and she appeared on the ice spring again, absorbing the power of the ice spring to slowly recover her strength.

…………

"Xiao Xiao, do you think Su Yu will come back?" Wang Dong'er sat on the edge of the training ground and asked Xiao Xiao, who was beside her.

"I think the Vice Class Monitor will definitely come back. Who doesn't know that the Vice Class Monitor dotes on you the most? He didn't show you any less favoritism when we were at the academy. Now that the relationship is confirmed, he will definitely come back." Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er's somewhat haggard appearance and spoke.

In terms of the path of romance, it must be said that Wang Dong'er was the one among their Shrek Seven Devils who made people the most envious. From the beginning to the final confirmation of their relationship at the Sea God's Fate, even Xiao Xiao sometimes felt incredibly sour.

"I don't know if he will come back either. I heard he went to the Sunset Forest alone, and there has been no news until now. If he went to obtain a Soul Ring, it's impossible that there would be no news after more than half a month, right? I'm worried about him..."

A series that lasts a lifetime.
