Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, Qian Renjue looked up at her and smiled, explaining, "Sister, this is a magical elixir that can cause spiritual herbs to mutate and enhance their efficacy."
"It might even remove the restrictions on picking the flower."
"Jue, look, there's a change!"
Before Qian Renjue could finish speaking, Qian Renxue's excited voice drew his attention back to the Acacia Heartbroken Red.
Under the gaze of the siblings, the Acacia swayed continuously, and the whole flower was bathed in a blood-red light.
The red petals slowly closed and then spread out again, filling the air with a strong and pleasant fragrance.
"It's... it's turned into two flowers?!"
Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly.
The flower bud had transformed into two fully bloomed red flowers, each about 60% of the original size
Qian Renjue was also stunned.
The surprise that left him dumbfounded was due to the system.
This was an unexpected joy he hadn't anticipated.
[Congratulations to the host for the successful spreading great love! (Target: Heartbroken Red Acacia)]
[Reward: Unique Medicine Manual!]
[Unique Medicine Manual]: Contains records of various herbs and methods for pill refinement.
"Jue, what's wrong?!" Qian Renxue noticed Qian Renjue staring blankly and reached out to touch his face.
"Ah, sister, I'm fine."
Qian Renjue came to his senses, smiled, and shook his head, looking at the now dimmed Acacia.
The system's voice echoed in his mind once more.
[Heartbroken Acacia, Dual Petal]
[Requires two people working together to pick; both must focus on each other to successfully pick it.]
[New Addition: Can facilitate mutual understanding and unity of hearts and minds!]
"Jue, how is it? Any changes?"
Qian Renxue pinched Qian Renjue's handsome face and looked at the flower he was holding, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Sister, the conditions have indeed changed. It requires both parties to focus on each other."
Qian Renjue did not hide anything.
He truthfully explained the changes of the Heartbroken Red Acacia to Qian Renxue.
"Both parties focusing on each other?!"
Qian Renxue murmured, her eyes showing a hint of joy and a bright smile.
Now, the flower looked much more pleasing.
Immediately, Qian Renxue straightforwardly told Qian Renjue, "Jie, I really like this mutated Acacia."
"Alright, then I'll give it to you."
Without thinking, Qian Renjue smiled and offered it to her, as he originally intended.
But Qian Renxue didn't reach out to take it.
Instead, she gave him a glare.
"Sister?"
"Jue, are you silly? How can I pick it myself?"
Qian Renxue extended her delicate hand and lightly tapped Qian Renjue's head.
Qian Renjue lowered his head slightly in cooperation and asked in confusion, "So, what do you mean, sister?"
"Of course, you need to assist me. I only need half of it."
Qian Renxue smiled and gently rubbed Qian Renjue's face.
"This way, your cultivation won't be lagged behind too far away compared to me, is that okay?"
"Of course!"
Qian Renjue nodded in agreement immediately.
"Ha ha, that's great!"
Seeing Qian Renjue nodding without hesitation, Qian Renxue felt delighted.
She happily stood on tiptoe and placed a mark on Qian Renjue's face.
Jue surely didn't want to leave her.
Qian Renjue lifted his elbow to wipe the dampness from his face.
His face turned slightly red as he asked, "So, when shall we pick this flower?"
"Let's do it now."
Qian Renxue tilted her head, leaning on Qian Renjue's shoulder, and watched as he raised his fist.
"Jue, you need to be careful."
"If you don't succeed, I will be angry and sad."
Qian Renxue smiled, but her heart was serious.
She firmly believed in herself.
The greatest belief she held in her life, as a sword user, was for her brother.
"Sister, I wasn't lying to you just now."
Qian Renjue helplessly hugged Qian Renxue's waist, gently pushing her away to stand up straight.
"That's good."
Qian Renxue smiled softly.
She knew Qian Renjue was referring to the earlier attempt to make the Acacia Heartbroken Red recognize its master.
She nestled in Qian Renjue's embrace, not wanting to leave.
Gently, she said, "Let's start now. It won't hinder anything."
"Okay."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
Just as he was about to release Qian Renxue, she took the Acacia Heartbroken Red from his hands.
"Hold on!"
Qian Renxue commanded softly.
"..."
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes helplessly and obediently wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes.
This way, it also prevented Qian Renjue from being distracted by other women.
Otherwise, if it didn't succeed, she would truly be very upset.
The two seemed to be in perfect sync.
They simultaneously placed their index fingers in their mouths, gently biting to draw out crimson blood.
Their tender hands and smooth backs touched.
Two drops of bright red blood fell.
As soon as they touched the petals, a hum!
The dual-blooming Acacia Heartbroken Red began to tremble continuously.
Qian Renxue's face wore a tender smile.
Quietly leaning in Qian Renjue's embrace, she remembered every moment of their life together.
Sharing meals, practicing swordplay, sleeping together, bathing together—childhood memories flashed vividly.
Gradually, Qian Renxue's face grew slightly flushed.
Her delicate hand caressed, feeling that her brother's embrace had become warmer.
"Ah~"
Qian Renjue exhaled a long breath.
The warm air brushed against Qian Renxue's ear, giving a hint of blush, and his mind was filled with their various interactions and Qian Renxue's care for him.
Hum!
The two small Acacia Heartbroken Reds fell simultaneously, glowing with blood light.
They floated in front of the two.
Qian Renxue's face blossomed with a beautiful smile as she happily held them in her hands.
Qian Renjue looked at Qian Renxue's smiling face and sighed with relief.
"Sister, we did it."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded with a smile, her ears tinged with a hint of blush, as she left Qian Renjue's embrace.
Looking back with a smile, she teased, "This time, I will let you off."
"I won't hold it against you for hurting me earlier."
"Uh, thank you, sister."
Qian Renjue smiled sheepishly.
He had been quite absorbed in the moment, which might have made him hold her a bit too tightly.
"By the way, sister, don't consume the flower just yet. I need to study it first."
Remembering the medicine manual rewarded by the system, Qian Renjue couldn't help but remind her.
Even though the manual didn't include a formula for Acacia Heartbroken Red, it contained useful information like the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng of the Speed Clan.
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
Qian Renxue nodded. She wasn't planning to keep the Acacia Heartbroken Red.
Consuming it was the best choice, in all respects.
Qian Renjie caught the blood-red peony in mid-air.
The flower truly lived up to its reputation as the king of immortal herbs.
It seemed to have a kind of intelligence, giving Qian Renjue a sense of affection.
"Your Highness, the poison in Dugu Xin has been suppressed."
Ling Yuan stood not far away.
She slightly bowed to Qian Renjue and reported.
