I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

The moment Xu Xingyu jumped into the Spring of Ice and Fire, Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi immediately panicked, because they could both feel an aura of death emanating from the Spring of Ice and Fire.

So when they saw Xu Xingyu completely unprotected, they immediately tried to pull him out, but Gu Yuena stopped them and said, "You don't need to worry about Xiao Xingyu. Don't forget that he has the attributes of extreme ice and extreme fire. This hot spring can't stop him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi realized that they had been too concerned and their emotions calmed down a bit.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er asked curiously, "So what do we do now? Just wait here for Xingyu-ge?"

Gu Yuena replied calmly, "Yes, if you feel bored, you can calm down and cultivate. The immortal spiritual energy here is very abundant. Even people who don't have plant-type martial souls can gain great benefits from cultivating here."

After saying that, Gu Qiuxi sat down to meditate, which would also allow her to refine the residual medicinal power of the immortal herb she had taken.

Looking at Gu Qiuxi, who had already entered a meditative state, Wang Dong'er put on an expression that said, "I'm not going to lose to her," and also began to prepare for meditation and cultivation.

Gu Yuena glanced at the two of them and then ignored them, focusing intently on sensing Xu Xingyu's condition at the bottom of the spring.

After learning that Xu Xingyu was alright, Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not dare to unleash her senses.

After all, although a cooperation agreement has been reached with the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, no one knows whether they will go back on their word, so basic vigilance is still necessary.

However, at that moment, Gu Yuena sensed a strange fluctuation. This fluctuation did not have any hostility; on the contrary, it felt somewhat intimate.

At first, Gu Yuena thought it was the Ice and Fire Dragon King's remains calling to her. After all, she was the creator of the Dragon God, so like Xu Xingyu, her bloodline could also resonate with the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

However, when Gu Yuena realized that the direction of the fluctuation was not from the direction of the Ice and Fire Spring, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

Sensing that Xu Xingyu had not yet found the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bone, Gu Yuena decided to investigate what was extending a friendly gesture towards her.

Soon, under the powerful detection of Gu Yuena's divine sense, she finally found the item that had shown her affection.

To Gu Yuena's surprise, it turned out to be a magical herb.

It was an ordinary-looking white flower, about the size of a palm, without any grass or leaves, and its stem was connected to a large, dark stone.

Although Gu Yuena had never seen this celestial herb before, she knew from her memories of seeing it with Xu Xingyu that it was the legendary king of flowers, a celestial treasure among celestial treasures, the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red.

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is a very special celestial herb. To successfully harvest it, one must think of one's beloved while harvesting, with utmost sincerity, and sprinkle a drop of blood onto the petals.

During this process, one must not be distracted, otherwise, even if it means vomiting blood and dying, it will be impossible to pluck this flower. Once this immortal herb is successfully plucked, it will never wither as long as it remains by its new master's side, and will forever protect them. Furthermore, only the master or their beloved can hold this immortal herb and consume it.

If you try to harvest this magical herb in other ways, such as destroying the stone called Wujue beneath the Acacia Heartbreak Red, then this magical herb will lose all its medicinal power and become just an ordinary flower.

Looking at the immortal herb before her, Gu Yuena couldn't help but stroke the Acacia Heartbreak Red, as if possessed. In that instant, a drop of blood traveled from Gu Yuena's fingertip to the Acacia Heartbreak Red and was completely absorbed by it.

The moment the Acacia Heartbreak Red absorbed Gu Yuena's blood, memories of Gu Yuena and Xu Xingyu resurfaced in Gu Yuena's mind.

Recalling those familiar times, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile, and the originally white petals of the Acacia Heartbreak Red began to emit a faint light.

Just then, the image of Xu Xingyu, Wang Dong'er, and others together flashed through Gu Yuena's mind. This image made Gu Yuena feel jealous and dissatisfied, and in response, the Acacia Heartbreak Red began to glow intermittently.

However, Gu Yuena quickly calmed herself down and looked at those scenes with a calm attitude. Although she was dissatisfied with these things, she had already accepted the fact and decided that no matter where Xu Xingyu went in the future, she would follow closely behind!

When this vow arose in Gu Yuena's heart, the light emitted by the Acacia Heartbreak Red became stable.

As the light emanating from the Acacia Heartbreak Red began to grow brighter, a crimson hue began to spread across its petals, and the roots on the Black Stone ceased to entwine with it.

Soon the roots completely detached from the black stone, and the white peony flower turned blood red.

This also shows that the Acacia Heartbreak Red has finally found its owner, Gu Yuena!

Looking at the fairy herb she had just picked, Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh. Although she had no intention of picking the fairy herb, seeing that the Acacia Heartbreak Red acknowledged her feelings for Xu Xingyu made Gu Yuena very gratified.

This shows that her love for Xu Xingyu is genuine, without any ulterior motives or self-interest involved. The reason she is willing to follow Xu Xingyu now is simply because she loves him.

At the same time, Gu Yuena was also grateful to Xu Yanxue, because a year ago, Gu Yuena had doubted her previous relationship with Xu Xingyu, feeling that she was just a pretty face who depended on Xu Xingyu and was not worthy of Xu Xingyu's love at all.

After all, Xu Xingyu basically plans the future of the soul beasts, and Gu Yuena simply follows orders and carries them out. So, in a sense, she is just a good-looking henchman.

However, it was Xu Yanxue who scolded her at that time, making her realize that it was just her unreasonable idea, and she decided to follow in Xu Xingyu's footsteps in the future and further understand human society through the Spirit Tower.

This also taught her how to handle all kinds of work, transforming Gu Yuena from a mere figurehead leader into an excellent leader with her own independent ideas.

During this process, Gu Yuena did not blindly follow Xu Xingyu's instructions, but instead used what she had learned to offer timely suggestions to further improve Xu Xingyu's plan or point out its shortcomings.

Gu Yuena thus completely shed the label of a pretty but capable "vase" and became a strong and independent woman who deeply loved Xu Xingyu.

It was precisely because Gu Yuena had come to terms with this that her love for Xu Xingyu was no longer mixed with the impurities of the past, and became more sincere and earnest. This is why the Acacia Heartbreak Red would take the initiative to let Gu Yuena try to pluck it and become its master.

Because of the love-sick red flower, one can clearly feel Gu Yuena's pure love for Xu Xingyu.

Just as Gu Yuena was admiring the Acacia Heartbreak Red flowers she had just picked, she seemed to sense something and immediately turned towards the Spring of Ice and Fire.

At this moment, the Ice and Fire Spring seemed to be boiling, with countless bubbles rising to the surface, and Xu Xingyu's breathing at the bottom of the spring became disordered.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuena immediately put away the Acacia Heartbreak Red and jumped into the Ice and Fire Spring to search for Xu Xingyu's whereabouts.

Completely unaware that everything that had just happened had been seen by another person.
