Chapter 187 Heartbreaking Red of Longing
After paying a huge price, the valley that was once full of danger seems to have become a smooth road.
This can be seen from Liehuo Xingjiao's attitude. Who would want to offend a terrifying being who possesses 700,000 power within him and is also the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North?
That's a terrifying existence that could truly destroy this place, so for Youyou, Su Yu is undoubtedly someone she can't afford to provoke. Although Su Yu is just an insignificant Soul King, the Snow Empress behind him is no pushover.
Returning to the Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item, Su Yu glanced down at the book in his hand and said, "Youyou, I'll take your Fragrant Heart. But as compensation, I can tell you that person's story."
"Although it hurts a little, I would be even happier if you could return the Heart of Qiluo to me." Youyou looked at Su Yu with some heartache. Every time she thought about how half of the Heart of Qiluo, which she had painstakingly cultivated for ten thousand years, was gone, she felt extremely heartbroken.
"I have no choice. Although I came with Xue Di, do you think I can make Xue Di, the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and a woman with 700,000 followers, listen to me? I am just a Soul King, an ordinary human."
Xue Di is the one who did the bad thing, what does it have to do with me, Su Yu?
"That's true, you can't be blamed for this." Youyou was simple-minded and naturally didn't know that Su Yu was the one who started all of this.
…………
After briefly recounting the story of Tang San before he rose to power, he quickly returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, sat down cross-legged, and began reading the book that the Snow Emperor had obtained from Youyou.
The book is entirely white, and I don't know what material it is made of. The book itself is soft, somewhat like silk, but much tougher than silk, and it has a faint warm feel to the touch.
There were no words on the cover, nor was there a signature. Su Yu knew this was the remaining part of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and he turned to the first page of the book.
The first page has few words, and the handwriting is simple and elegant.
"I'm glad someone saw my message. Passing the test of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb proves you're qualified to read this book. It was written by Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Clan, and records the differences between various immortal and poisonous herbs. It also contains some lost methods of using poison from the Tang Clan. After learning them, please leave the book behind and use its abilities with caution."
Stay? You're kidding. If you really want those guys from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to be able to defeat the Snow Emperor, then I'll stay. Otherwise, this book will never be able to go back.
After carefully reading through the book, Su Yu roughly understood why the Tang Clan had declined back then.
The reason why hidden weapons are called hidden weapons is that their ingenuity lies in their surprise attack and their deadly poison.
Having lost the essence of hidden weapons, coupled with the Tang Clan's inflexibility and outdated practices, it naturally declined over time. Actually, it's not so much a decline as a decline, but more accurately, a case of "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down."
Su Yu closed the book and went to where Youyou was. "Youyou, that person said I could take no more than seven kinds of immortal herbs, right?"
Youyou looked at Su Yu warily and asked, "You're not planning to take us all away, are you?"
"No, no, I was just asking." Su Yu waved his hand. "But if I want to in the future, I might really come back."
"Then forget it, you'd better not come back. I still feel sorry for my Qiluo Heart..." She gently swayed the petals and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Su Yu looked at Youyou and slowly said, "Youyou, I suddenly feel that Xue Di was too merciful to only take half of the Qiluo Heart."
"Don't come any closer!" Looking at Su Yu's gaze, Youyou felt that her life and safety were completely insecure at this moment.
“…………”
Su Yu turned and left the place, his gaze involuntarily falling in one direction, where the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass grew.
In the past few days, he has completely organized all the contents of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu. Now he just needs time to digest and absorb them.
"Human lifespan has always been short. The only human with the longest lifespan was Poseidon, the sea god who once conquered the seas and caused all sea spirit beasts and spirit masters to sink. It was from that time that humans believed they could live to be a thousand years old, but in reality, even after reaching the Limit Douluo level, lifespan is only a few hundred years..."
Looking at that frail little white flower, so delicate it seemed a gust of wind could topple it, the white blossoms resembled peonies, yet were even more slender. It had no fragrance, no other adornments, not even a single leaf. All it possessed was a faint crimson, a sorrowful crimson.
Oh, the red acacia blossoms that break one's heart...
The time has finally come for us to meet.
Looking at the little flower swaying in the wind, Su Yu's mind was filled with thoughts.
"I never expected that one day I would feel such turmoil in my heart at such an important moment. But one day, I will tell you everything, Dong'er. Life is long, let me tell you slowly."
Under the watchful eyes of the Snow Emperor and numerous immortal herbs, a luminous figure slowly appeared in front of Su Yu, with a pair of three-colored wings floating behind it.
puff!
A mouthful of hot blood spurted from Su Yu's mouth, covering the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. Su Yu gazed tenderly at the light and shadow, and slowly reached his palm into the light and shadow.
With a loose grasp, the beam of light also grasped Su Yu's hand.
Xue Di could clearly feel that he was smiling, and that light and shadow were also smiling. The emotion was mellow, neither as intense as that of someone who had gone through hardship, nor as gentle as someone who had sailed smoothly.
"We've come a long way, stumbling and struggling, and you've waited for me for so many years..."
A layer of holy light quietly emanated from the small flower, spreading continuously until it finally bloomed into an unusual color within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
It was trembling slightly, and the rhythm of the trembling seemed to be plucking at Su Yu's heartstrings, and scenes from the past flashed before Su Yu's eyes.
I promised to live and study with you, but I always leave alone, leaving you waiting in vain at Shrek Academy...
How can I etch these three years of memories into my soul?
After four years of waiting, how can I ever make up for your pain?
Seven years have passed, Dong'er, do you hate me...?
Deeply etched with longing, a love that cannot be severed; though tears and heartache fall, there is no regret...
Su Yu smiled, tears streaming down his face. He gazed at the memories replaying in his eyes, and all the emotions he had suppressed finally erupted at that moment.
One after another, beams of light and shadow appeared. At first, they were just blurry lights and shadows, but in the end, they turned into scenes that seemed to become real.
"This is the embodiment of the human spirit!"
The Snow Empress's beautiful eyes held an undisguised astonishment. Not only the Snow Empress, but also the other immortal herbs such as the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, the Fiery Apricot Blossom, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum were all watching this scene in disbelief.
They could feel the intense emotions, and if they weren't all stronger than Su Yu, they would probably have been lost in Su Yu's memories by now.
The moment the Heartbreak Red Acacia rose from the Black Stone and landed in Su Yu's arms, all the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Immortal Herbs—Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, Fiery Apricot Blossom, Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and Extraordinary Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum—closed and drooped. This was a sign of respect for Su Yu's love, and also a sign of reverence for a human being who could step into the spiritual realm with pure love!
"Dong'er, wait for me..."
Putting away the acacia blossom, Su Yu slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After the highly infectious spiritual imagery disappeared, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire returned to tranquility.
"You'd better explain to me why this brat fainted." The Snow Emperor coldly stared at the group of immortal herbs.
"His own spiritual power cannot be materialized into a spiritual form at all. However, with the help of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, he used his heart's blood to pluck the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, which also stimulated all the suppressed emotions in his heart. If nothing unexpected happens, he will remain unconscious for a period of time because his mental and spiritual power has been greatly depleted." The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass looked at Su Yu and then spoke.
"I hope that kid is alright, otherwise, all of you will be buried with him." After saying this, Xue Di returned to the ice spring and continued her cultivation.
After the Snow Emperor left, a group of magical herbs gathered together.
She spoke softly, "What exactly is the relationship between Su Yu and Xue Di? Xue Di is protecting him so much, could it be...?"
"Impossible. Although this kid is indeed a bit different, he's a soul beast, and he's a human!" Ajiao shook her head, clearly not thinking that Youyou's wild ideas were correct.
Bajiao said calmly, "Things may not be as Youyou thinks. However, it seems that this human named Su Yu is very important to Xue Di, and Xue Di came with him, which suggests that Xue Di and this human seem to have a symbiotic relationship."
Qi Rong spoke up, "Don't you guys think this human seems completely different from other human Soul Masters?"
………………
The numerous immortal herbs began to discuss amongst themselves, but in the end, the Snow Empress grew tired of their strange speculations and slapped one of the immortal herbs, knocking off a petal from the most gossipy one, Youyou…
Shrek Academy.
Poseidon Lake, Poseidon Island, Poseidon Pavilion.
The golden tree exudes a gentle life force, but within this gentle force lies something different.
Wang Dong'er sat quietly in the Golden Tree House, the window open. She looked at the Sea God Lake, and for some reason, her heart ached on this day. The pain in her heart was filled with fear.
She had been sitting there for the entire morning, and she didn't know why she felt so apprehensive.
Over the past two weeks, she had been trying to contact Su Yu's family, but the final answer she received was that Su Yu had left the Star Luo Empire and gone to Sunset Forest.
Ten days ago, there was no news of Su Yu, only that he was last seen in the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
She had lost count of how many times she had felt heartbroken; she only remembered that ever since she woke up this morning, she had felt as if she had lost the most important thing in her life.
When she first discovered that Su Yu had left Shrek Academy again and disappeared, her heart was filled with not only sorrow but also helplessness.
She understood Su Yu's actions and could also empathize with his feelings.
During Su Yu's absence, Bei Bei and Tang Ya came to visit, and her friends also came to talk to her, helping her analyze Su Yu's situation and occasionally telling Wang Dong'er about Su Yu's latest developments.
However, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan also came today, and Wang Dong'er told Elder Xuan about her situation. However, after the Sea God Pavilion's investigation, no problems were found, which could only be attributed to Wang Dong'er missing Su Yu too much.
She, who had always held onto hope, suddenly felt afraid today. She was afraid that Su Yu would disappear like he had back then, and that he would die like those senior students who sacrificed themselves while carrying out the Shrek Inspection Team, ultimately falling victim to the schemes of those ill-intentioned people in the Star Luo Empire.
Tears streamed down her cheeks again without her noticing. Wang Dong'er slowly stood up and gently touched the lingering affection that Su Yu had left her.
Su Yu, where are you?
Please come back and see me...
…………
When Su Yu woke up again, it was already five or six days later.
Seeing that Xue Di was still cultivating, Su Yu said, "Given your current condition, you can leave me and move around freely for a short time. I'm going back for a while and will be back in two days."
"Go ahead, just don't die out there." Xue Di looked at Su Yu, her expression unreadable, whether it was concern or curse.
"I understand. I'll try my best to come back and die in front of you."
With a thought, Su Yu donned his Blood Dragon Armor and disappeared from Xue Di's sight.
"I hope nothing bad happens to this arrogant brat, or I'll die along with him."
With her beautiful eyes slightly closed, she reappeared above the ice spring, slowly recovering her strength by absorbing its power.
…………
"Xiao Xiao, do you think Su Yu will come back?" Wang Dong'er asked, sitting on the edge of the training field and looking at Xiao Xiao beside her.
"I think the vice class monitor will definitely come back. Everyone knows he dotes on you the most. He always showed you a lot of favoritism back in the academy. Now that you're in a relationship, he'll definitely come back," Xiao Xiao said, looking at Wang Dong'er's somewhat haggard appearance.
In terms of their romantic relationships, Wang Dong'er is undoubtedly the most enviable among the Shrek Seven Devils. From the beginning to the end when their relationship was confirmed by the Sea God's Fate, even Xiao Xiao sometimes felt incredibly jealous.
"I don't know if he'll come back. I heard he went to Sunset Forest alone and there's been no news since. If he went to get a spirit ring, it's impossible that he's been gone for more than half a month without any news. I'm worried about him..."
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
