Chapter 182: Chapter 180 Tang San Got Angry, Adaptation Doesn't Mean Messing Up_1
Translator: 549690339
Tang San stood there in a daze, a chill breeze passed by, and his heart turned icy cold.
What Acacia Red represented, he, possessing the Mystic Sky Records, naturally couldn't be ignorant of.
Acacia Red symbolized a love that is unwavering even unto death.
If someone could make Acacia Red recognize them as its master, or even consume the Acacia Red, it meant their heart harbored someone worth giving up everything to love.
Now, if Xiao Wu were to consume the Acacia Red for Xu Ran, their relationship would become unbreakable. Acacia Red could make Xiao Wu's affection for Xu Ran reach an unimaginable level.
That kind of love, according to the Mystic Sky Records, meant that as long as Xu Ran was in need, she would even sacrifice her life for him.
"It can't be Acacia Red."
"It absolutely can't be Acacia Red."
"As a kind of Immortal Herbs, the effects of Acacia Red are much more powerful than those of the Damask Tulip. How could that scoundrel Xu Ran possibly possess such a treasure?"
"It must be that I heard wrong, it must be." Tang San murmured softly. Even though he knew it was impossible for him to have misheard, he still couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt.
His Xiao Wu, his Precious Xiao Wu, was about to consume Acacia Red, which represented pure love, for someone else.
No, none of this could possibly be true.
Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his long nails digging into his palms, as crimson blood surged out. He bit down on his teeth and pressed against the wall of Xu Ran's Dormitory, carefully sensing the movements inside.
At this moment, he felt so powerless and desperate.
The torment in his heart was far greater than the physical pain.
He could bear any humiliation, any torment from Xu Ran.
But he absolutely couldn't bear to see Xiao Wu get hurt by Xu Ran.
If one day Xiao Wu found out she had been deceived by Xu Ran and had consumed Acacia Red for him, what immense hatred would she feel? What kind of despair?
At that time, when she realized she had been misunderstanding him all along, and the person who really wanted to harm her was Xu Ran, who had also deceived her and bullied him, how regretful would she be?
He could never allow such a thing to happen.
He had to protect his Precious Xiao Wu.
…
Outside the door, Tang San's expression was crystal clear to Xu Ran.
At this moment, Xu Ran was already laughing up a storm inside.
Watching Tang San's expression, he found him so ridiculous. Is this supposed to be the so-called protagonist? Stripped of the Son of Destiny facade, not worth a damn.
"Acacia, heartbreak..." Just hearing the name of this Immortal Herb, Xiao Wu, along with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, couldn't help but be enchanted. The name Acacia Red was indeed too beautifully entrancing, fatally attractive to these little girls who idolized love.
Although the Damask Tulip and Narcissus Jade Bone are also quite otherworldly, they simply cannot compare with the four words of Acacia Red.
"Xu Ran, why is it called Acacia Red?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, her eyes looking at Xu Ran as gentle as a pool of soft water. She knew that this Acacia Red must hold a deep significance.
"This plant is named Acacia Red. It is a Divine Grade treasure amongst Immortal Herbs. There is also a legendary story about it. A long time ago, there was a young boy and a young girl who were deeply in love. The boy, with unmatched talent, traveled the Continent and encountered many beauties, and his relationships with them were hard to sever, piling burdens upon him. As more girls entered the boy's life, the relationship between him and the girl began to show subtle cracks."
"Despite having countless lovers, the boy felt increasingly guilty towards the girl. One day, in order to prove his love to the girl, the boy ventured into a very dangerous forbidden area to find a treasure for the girl as a gift, but he never returned from that quest. Later, the girl eventually found the boy. Looking at his dead body, she finally understood what she had truly lost."
"Beside the boy's body, there also bloomed a blood-red flower, which was the gift he had intended to find for the girl. It turned into a blood flower, watered by the boy's body and blood. From then on, the girl wept by the flower day and night, her tears dried up, her heart shattered, and she died of a broken heart. When she was on her deathbed, she dripped her blood onto the petals. Look at those deep red stains; they are the essence of the boy and the girl's hearts."
"The flower isn't ordinary, it chooses its master and only serves them. When picking the Acacia Red, one must think of the beloved person in their heart with sincerity and honesty, and spill a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If there is the slightest insincerity, even if you die spitting blood, you will never be able to pick the flower. Once the flower is taken, as long as it is near its owner, it will never wilt."
As Xu Ran recounted the story behind the Acacia Red, even he couldn't help but be moved by it. The relationships between that boy and the countless beauties were truly lamentable and praiseworthy.
And Xu Ran was merely moved, while Xiao Wu and the others had their eyes turn red. Young girls have no immunity against such tragic and beautiful love stories. And Xu Ran's focus in recounting was not on starting a "Harem," but on telling the beautiful story between the boy and the girl, naturally deeply moving them.
"Acacia Red, such a beautiful name," Xiao Wu murmured as she fondly looked at the Immortal Herb, her hands caressing the leaves of the Acacia Red, finding it unbelievably beautiful and moving.
And her gaze towards Xu Ran also softened immensely, like a river of spring water.
If Xu Ran ever became like that boy, she would definitely not do what that girl had done.
To love someone is to love all of them, to accept all of them, isn't it?
Xu Ran's only flaw lay in this one aspect.
Xu Ran wasn't scum; he only wanted to give every good girl in the world a warm home.
And even if Xu Ran did not take the initiative, there would still be countless people seeking him out.
Just like the boy in the story, because their aura was too brilliant, naturally attracting innumerable moths to the flame. If Xu Ran were such a heartless man, wouldn't it be even more tragic? Such an attitude would only make countless people who fell deep suffer throughout their lives.
"Bullshit, damn it, that's just too fake."
"This story is obviously fabricated, damn Xu Ran for bullying Xiao Wu like this."
"He's already opening a 'Harem' right in front of Xiao Wu, and now he's even trying to subtly manipulate them into accepting his shameless actions."
"I can't stand it, damn Xu Ran. Even if Xiao Wu is naive, she's not someone you can bully. I'm going to confront you head-on." Tang San listened to Xu Ran's story, feeling like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
At the beginning, it didn't feel odd, but as he listened more, he began to sense something was amiss.
A boy opening a 'Harem' and leaving love affairs everywhere – isn't this just referring to Xu Ran? That damn Xu Ran was actually using such a love story to subtly influence Xiao Wu. It was simply too hateful.
However, he could hear that Xu Ran's story was made up, but Xiao Wu and the others might not realize that.
Now he finally understood why Xiao Wu was so deeply deceived by Xu Ran and could not perceive it at all — because Xu Ran's tactics were simply too many.
Even he had been tricked by Xu Ran's schemes. Naturally, Xiao Wu and the others would fall even deeper.
