Chapter 29 Heartbreaking Red of Longing
"Hahaha, I never thought that after being tormented by poison for most of my life, I, Dugu Bo, would finally be able to resolve the toxins in my body and become a normal person again." Dugu Bo threw his head back and laughed, his eyes filled with excitement and joy, and the wrinkles on his face became vivid because of his unrestrained laughter.
Seeing Dugu Bo's excitement, Yu Tianyun was also infected by his emotions. He smiled and said, "Next, Grandpa will need to prepare two soul bones and then force the poison into the soul bones little by little. This way, the poison power will not be neutralized, and the poison will not invade the body again."
"I actually have a soul bone inside me, which should be fine for storing deadly poison. Yan Yan, here, this is a soul bone I prepared for you before, the left arm bone of a 15,000-year-old Mandragora Serpent. I originally planned to give it to you when you advanced to Soul King, when you would have some ability to protect yourself. Since you need a soul bone to detoxify, I'll give it to you now!" Dugu Bo suppressed his smile, turned to look at Dugu Yan, and said with a loving expression.
As he spoke, Dugu Bo handed a dark green bone that looked like a human arm to Dugu Yan.
"Grandpa, where did you get such a precious soul bone?" Dugu Yan was very surprised to see Dugu Bo casually take out a soul bone. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a worried look.
"It was Xuexing who gave it to me, don't worry. I've helped the Heavenly Dou royal family for so many years, and I've already repaid the debt of gratitude from back then. So, in order for me to stay, he gave me a soul bone. Besides, everyone has always thought that I'm a member of the Heavenly Dou camp, so it doesn't matter if I stay a few more years." Dugu Bo patiently explained, seeing the worry in his granddaughter's eyes.
"I see," Dugu Yan's brows relaxed, and she felt relieved. She was indeed afraid that her grandfather had been taken from someone else, which would cause a series of troubles.
Yu Tianyun was also secretly shocked. A thousand-year soul bone was indeed useless to a titled Douluo, but a ten-thousand-year soul bone could play a great role for a titled Douluo. Therefore, a ten-thousand-year soul bone was many times more precious than a thousand-year soul bone. The Heaven Dou Royal Family had gone to such lengths to win over Dugu Bo.
"In that case, Sister Yanyan, hurry up and absorb it, force the toxins into your soul bone as soon as possible!" Yu Tianyun also suggested softly from the side.
"Mmm!" Dugu Yanzhen nodded slightly in response to Yu Tianyun.
Dugu Bo then led Dugu Yan and Yu Tianyun back to his secluded cave, where he was unaffected by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and could safely absorb the soul bone.
Upon entering the cave, Dugu Yan sat down cross-legged to absorb the soul bone. She slowly closed her eyes, held the soul bone from her left arm in her hand, and attached it to her left arm to begin sensing it.
Before long, the left arm bone emitted a faint green light, enveloping Dugu Yan's entire body.
Clearly, the absorption of the soul bone has begun!
Seeing that Dugu Yan had begun to absorb the soul bone smoothly, Dugu Bo felt relieved. He turned to look at Yu Tianyun and said hopefully, "Tianyun, you've gained so much from absorbing those two immortal herbs. Are there any suitable ones for Yanyan and me?"
"Grandpa, there are indeed immortal herbs there that are suitable for you and Sister Yanyan. I will take you there after Sister Yanyan finishes absorbing the soul bone," Yu Tianyun said calmly.
It took about an hour for Dugu Yan to finish absorbing the nutrients.
"Tianyun, Grandpa, I did it!" Dugu Yan said excitedly after opening her eyes again, her face beaming with a bright smile, like a flower blooming in spring.
Dugu Bo didn't say much, but smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction and approval, clearly very pleased.
"Congratulations, Sister Yan Yan." Yu Tianyun stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Dugu Yan, congratulating her, "You've successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring. It seems you'll be acquiring a ten-thousand-year soul skill ahead of schedule, Sister Yan Yan!"
"Alright, Sister Yan Yan, I have a surprise for you. Come with me!" Yu Tianyun said with a mysterious smile.
"What surprise is it? Why are you being so mysterious?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, her eyes blinking with anticipation.
"You'll know when we get there, Grandpa, let's go!" Yu Tianyun continued to keep it a secret, keeping everyone in suspense.
"Hmm." Dugu Bo responded softly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and then led the two of them back to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
This time, Yu Tianyun directly targeted two immortal herbs. One was beautiful in appearance, with crystal clear petals and light purple stamens, which was the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones. The other had a peony-like flower, only the size of a palm, without any leaves, but its root was connected to a pitch-black stone, which was the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red.
Yu Tianyun led Dugu Yan to the two immortal herbs and introduced them to her, saying, "Sister Yan Yan, these two immortal herbs are the ones I chose for you. One of them is Narcissus Jade Bone, which can nourish tendons and bones and promote the flow of Qi through the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels."
The other one is the Acacia Heartbreak Red, a divine treasure among immortal herbs, with the effects of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones. It can completely transform the body's strength, and I estimate it can increase soul power by at least ten levels!
However, the conditions for absorbing this immortal herb are somewhat demanding. It must be nourished by the heart's blood of a destined person for it to fall off on its own. Otherwise, even if it withers, it will not be picked.
"You can only consume one of these two medicinal herbs. Sister Yan Yan, why don't you try the Acacia Heartbreak Red one first? If you don't get its approval, then you can choose to consume the Narcissus Jade Bone herb."
Yu Tianyun did not tell the love story of the Love-Sickness-Broken Red. If he did, it might affect Dugu Yan and, if she did not accept his feelings, it might cause rifts in their relationship.
Now that I'm under no psychological pressure at all, it might be easier to gain the approval of the Acacia Heartbreak Red!
After listening to Yu Tianyun's introduction, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. The effect of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was obviously much better than that of the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone. Her gaze couldn't help but fall on the large white flower that resembled a peony.
She thought to herself that there was such a big difference between her talent and Yu Tianyun's, and she was worried that she would not be able to keep up with Yu Tianyun's pace. Now that she heard Yu Tianyun say that this was the best immortal herb, she couldn't help but feel excited.
At that moment, Dugu Yan activated her soul power and struck her chest, vibrating her heart meridian. Instantly, her face turned pale, and she spat out a wisp of blood, which landed precisely on the stamen of the flower in the center.
When the blood dripped onto the flower's stamen, the Acacia Heartbreak Red blossoms emitted a pinkish-white light that enveloped Dugu Yan.
In that instant, Dugu Yan involuntarily closed her eyes, and Yu Tianyun's voice and smile kept flashing through her mind like a slideshow.
Then she recalled the stunning first encounter with Yu Tianyun, his long journey to the Tiandou Royal Academy to help her detoxify, and his later selfless act of jumping into the Yin-Yang Well to save her.
Those warm and touching scenes flashed by, filling her heart with tenderness.
In an instant, the acacia heartbreak red petals fell off the black stone on their own.
At this moment, as if sensing something, Dugu Yan opened her eyes and saw this scene. She was overjoyed, and her face was filled with happiness. Yu Tianyun and Dugu Bo, who were standing beside her, were also happy for her.
Indeed, not telling that love story was the right decision; knowing it would only have added unnecessary psychological pressure to Dugu Yan.
When it comes to crucial moments, if you overthink things, you might not get approval. In the absence of this information, a simple and honest mind is more likely to gain approval.
Dugu Yan squatted down and picked up the Acacia Heartbreak Red. As soon as the flower entered her hand, it suppressed all its strange phenomena and became just an ordinary white flower.
Holding the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her hands, Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianyun with a puzzled expression and said, "Tianyun, are you hiding something? When I spat my heart's blood onto this flower just now, I couldn't help but think of you."
Anyway, by this time Dugu Yan had successfully picked the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, so Yu Tianyun no longer hid it and told the love story.
After listening to Yu Tianyun's story, Dugu Yan rushed towards Yu Tianyun with a sweet feeling in her heart, hugged him tightly around the waist, and then whispered in his ear, "Tianyun, thank you. We will never be apart again and will be together forever." Her voice was soft yet firm, as if she were making a vow for life.
Yu Tianyun responded gently, "Yanyan, I will always be by your side, protecting you."
The two embraced tightly, as if time had stood still at that moment.
