People are writing diaries in Douluo, Bibi Dong is crazy about it

**Chapter 132: This is Embarrassing**

Zhao Ling and Ah Yin waited for a long time, but the Acacia Heartbroken Red did not absorb the blood Ah Yin had dripped onto it. This meant that the flower had failed to recognize her as its master.

Both of them were left feeling awkward, but Ah Yin was especially mortified. She couldn't bring herself to meet Zhao Ling's gaze.

Earlier, she had confidently declared that she didn't believe her feelings for Zhao Ling could go unrecognized by the flower. Now, she felt as though her words had backfired, leaving her face burning with embarrassment.

Zhao Ling's expression turned sour. He raised his hand and lightly smacked her bottom several times. "Yin'er, were you lying earlier? Or is it so difficult for you to focus solely on your husband while offering your blood to the flower?"

Ah Yin winced at the stinging sensation, lowering her head pitifully. "No, I wasn't lying. I was thinking about you the entire time… but I couldn't help remembering how you pounced on me like a hungry wolf…"

Zhao Ling froze in place, caught off guard. "Uh…"

He sighed in frustration. "Why would you think of that at such a serious moment? Didn't I tell you not to have any distracting thoughts?"

Annoyed, he gave her another light pat. "You bad girl, why are you always thinking about such random things? Can't you focus on how good I am to you instead of… that?"

Ah Yin playfully stuck out her tongue, adjusting her mood. Determined, she once again focused her thoughts on Zhao Ling's kindness and dripped more blood onto the Acacia Heartbroken Red.

However, to their growing embarrassment, the flower still did not respond. Zhao Ling's face darkened.

"Are you imagining things again? Or do you not love me enough? Should I teach you another lesson?"

Ah Yin's expression grew bitter. "I can't help it! Every time I think of you, I end up remembering all the times you've… done bad things to me."

Zhao Ling groaned, completely at a loss. "This girl is hopeless…"

It was clear to him now that Ah Yin had been affected too deeply by their recent interactions. Whenever she thought of him, her mind inevitably wandered to those memories. It was no surprise she couldn't focus enough to be recognized by the flower.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Zhao Ling silently lamented his failed plan. He had hoped that the Acacia Heartbroken Red would recognize Ah Yin, offering her protection from being discovered as a 100,000-year soul beast. But her inability to focus on anything other than their shared antics had ruined the opportunity.

Despite this setback, Zhao Ling remembered that the soul-sealing seal he had placed on Ah Yin was still active. He reassured himself that removing the seal would be sufficient to protect her for now.

Bo Saixi, as a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, was trustworthy enough not to harm Ah Yin even if she discovered her identity. After all, in the original story, Bo Saixi had encountered soul beasts like Xiao Wu and Xiao Bai, and had shown no intention of harming them.

As for the threat of other Titled Douluo exposing Ah Yin, Zhao Ling wasn't concerned. He was confident in his ability to protect her. If anyone dared to trouble her, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them.

Still, Zhao Ling couldn't help but wonder if the Acacia Heartbroken Red was simply destined for Xiao Wu in the original story. Perhaps the plot's "protagonist halo" was the reason it refused to acknowledge Ah Yin.

Noticing Zhao Ling's troubled expression, Ah Yin gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, speaking softly. "I'm sorry, hubby. I let you down. But it's just a flower—it's not a big deal. Don't be upset."

Zhao Ling sighed again, his frustration easing as he looked at her apologetic face.

"Yin'er, the Acacia Heartbroken Red isn't just a pretty flower. It's a powerful celestial herb. If it had recognized you, consuming it would have immediately elevated your strength and greatly enhanced your cultivation potential. Even if you didn't consume it, carrying it with you would have concealed your soul beast aura, making it impossible for even a Titled Douluo to identify you."

Ah Yin's eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't know it was so important…" She lowered her gaze, guilt flickering in her blue eyes. "I'm sorry, husband. Maybe this flower and I just aren't meant to be."

Zhao Ling shook his head and smiled faintly. "Forget it. Since you couldn't bond with the Acacia Heartbroken Red, I'll give you something else instead."

With that, he returned the Acacia Heartbroken Red to his storage space and retrieved two other immortal herbs: the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb.

These two celestial treasures, taken together, could grant immunity to both extreme cold and heat while potentially bestowing a physique immune to all poisons. Originally consumed by Tang San in the story, Zhao Ling decided that they would now serve Ah Yin instead.

"Yin'er," he said gently, "since the Acacia Heartbroken Red didn't work out, I want you to take these two herbs. Consume them together and sit cross-legged to absorb their medicinal power."

Ah Yin's eyes sparkled with surprise. "You're giving me two herbs? Why? Wouldn't it be better to save one for the others?"

Zhao Ling shook his head firmly. "No. These two herbs must be taken together to neutralize each other's extreme properties. The Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass carries a top-level cold poison, and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb carries a top-level fire poison. Taking only one would harm you. Together, they balance each other, allowing you to safely absorb their effects."

Ah Yin hesitated for a moment before nodding. She trusted Zhao Ling completely.

Sitting cross-legged, she allowed Zhao Ling to release her soul-sealing seal, regaining full control of her soul power. Following his instructions, she consumed both herbs.

Immediately, she felt two opposing forces surging through her body—one icy cold, the other blisteringly hot. The clash of extremes caused her immense pain.

Zhao Ling, sensing her struggle, channeled his powerful soul energy into her body. With meticulous care, he helped her resist the herbs' intense effects and absorb their medicinal power.
