In just a few days, Su Yun's new house became a sea of flowers.
Alice and Theresa squatted in the yard every day, planting flowers as if they were competing. Su Yun found them so cute when he saw the mud splashing on their faces.
What a group of little angels!
Ever since she changed into the native clothes of the island, Alice has never changed them. She tied her golden hair high behind her back and looked full of energy. She followed Su Yun chirping every day, making him feel like he had a little parrot.
And Theresa also changed her dressing style unconsciously. Her originally abstinent robe became a little looser. Although it was still a black robe, it was no longer rigid and restrictive.
Apart from farming, Theresa's daily routine nowadays is to collect information on island civilization and compile books. She sits obediently behind a small table and writes furiously, which is completely different from Alice who can't stop.
Su Yun just felt like an old father who raised two daughters. On his left hand was the lively older daughter, and on his right hand was the quiet younger daughter. They were well-behaved and cute little girls, and I would take care of their happy old age - no, wait, is Jasmine still in the temple of God?

This island is called Creon. Compared with the surrounding civilizations, it has highly developed technology and economy.
It is a magnificent pearl in this ocean.
In addition to clothing, architecture, lifestyle and other aspects, Creon Island is also famous for a huge maze built on it.
It is rumored that there is a very ferocious monster living in this maze, which devours several children every year. The monster is guarding the treasure in the maze, but is also trapped in this cage and unable to leave forever.
Except for Creon's royal family, no one knows what the so-called treasure is. It is said that it can bring the dead back to life and turn bones into corpses. It is both a deadly poison and an elixir of immortality.
Su Yun had nothing to do these days, so he traveled around the island in hiding every day. What he heard most from people were legends about monsters and treasures. He finally learned about the grand event that was about to begin on this island.
The monster that lives in the maze eats several children every year. This year, it even proposed to eat the king's youngest son. Creon's royal family could no longer tolerate it and invited heroes from all over the world to kill the monster in the maze. The reward is the treasure hidden in the maze!
What's even more terrible is that the king of Creon also made a marriage promise. He was willing to marry his most beautiful princess to the hero who could walk out of the maze with the monster's head and the treasure.
No wonder there are constantly outsiders coming here and the island is becoming more and more lively day by day.
Su Yun ended today's half-day tour of the port and walked slowly back home. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets, buildings and residents coming and going, painting everything in a warm orange-red color.
There has been no one waiting at the door of the house these days. They must be busy with the upcoming event on Creon Island... This is also a good thing, making Su Yun feel much more relaxed when entering and leaving the door.
"I'm back." Su Yun had just closed the door, and before he even had time to put down the bouquet in his hand, Alice rushed over and hugged him.
"Father God! I planted some red roses today! Look, aren't they very bright!" Alice asked for credit, "They are much more beautiful than Jasmine's flower garden! Right?"
Su Yun looked towards the yard, and indeed found many beautiful rose buds in the right half. The branches were straight, the petals and leaves were tender, and the bright red color seemed to flow down.
Even if it is placed in the future thousands of years later, this kind of bouquet will be among the best varieties and the most expensive.
——But they are still far inferior to the roses under the throne.
The roses under the throne are no longer simple flowers. They look too beautiful to be flowers... It's the same as Su Yun. Those roses
It is more like an imagery combining the concepts of death and beauty.
The rose was cultivated by Jasmine, and he seemed to have poured his own blood into it.
"They are beautiful." Su Yun encouraged Alice and mentioned Jasmine at the same time, "There will be a grand event on this island in the next few days. Can I take Jasmine with me?"
Alice bit her lower lip and turned her head away: "Is it okay if Father God is willing? ... Don't ask me."
I finally get a temper tantrum!
Su Yun was a little surprised. He took Alice's hand and walked into the house: "Although I am willing, I must listen to the opinions of my two brothers."
Alice shook Su Yun's arm happily: "Of course! Although I don't like Jasmine, but since Father God likes her - I reluctantly agree!"
Su Yun looked towards the hall: "Theresa, what do you think?"
In the middle of the hall, a young man wearing a loose black robe held a pen in his hand. He looked up when he heard the words. He smiled slightly, and his deep green eyes were filled with lingering tenderness: "Jasmine? As long as Father God likes, let him come... Although Jasmine is a little disrespectful to you, he is also a very pious child."
This settled the matter, and Su Yun began to think about his third creation.
I don't know what's going on in the temple. Should I go and get Jasmine? But he hasn't finished renovating the temple yet. Given his personality, he probably won't want to come down.
This problem did not bother Su Yun for long because Jasmine made her own choice.

The very day after Alice planted the roses, Jasmine arrived with drums and gongs.
...Well, bang the gongs and drums, literally.
It was another sunny day, and the daily routine began warmly with Alice happily picking flowers and Theresa's gentle greetings.
When Su Yun was receiving the bright rose buds and reading the draft that Teresa had already written, he suddenly felt something in his heart - Jasmine had left the temple and was coming towards him.
That's perfect, this way he doesn't have to go back to the temple again.
Just as Su Yun was thinking this, he heard a burst of music.
It was an extremely majestic tune with a long lingering tail note. Su Yun couldn't tell what instruments were in it, but the music was so familiar that he was subconsciously stunned.
Alice heard it as well. He immediately broke the flower branch in his hand and said through gritted teeth: "Anita!"
Theresa hurried out of the room and corrected herself subconsciously after hearing it: "This is not Anita, but Jasmine played his music."
Father God, Jasmine must have acted on her own again."
Su Yun keenly sensed that something was going to go wrong. He quickly walked to the gate of the yard, opened it, and then he saw -
What a stunning, majestic, and gorgeous team this is!
Leading the way were the black-armored warriors lined up in a square. They were a silent army, each of them wearing the same heavy armor, with visors covering their faces. Their similar figures and uniform steps made them look as similar as their armors. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood coming from their scabbards - these were not a guard of honor, they were real killing machines.
The blazing sunlight could not be refracted on the dull black, and the black army spread out and surrounded the courtyard in an orderly manner.
After the black-armored army dispersed, the silver cavalry followed.
The tall horses were so eye-catching on these streets that belonged to ordinary people. Five horses in a row were enough to occupy the main road. The tall knights marched in silence, their faces covered by visors. Their humanity was wiped out like that of the black-armored warriors, and all that was left was a uniform cavalry corps that seemed to have no soul.
Horses tramped through the sunny streets one after another, as if they could crush the sunlight. In the blink of an eye, they dispersed behind the legion of black-armored warriors, as fast as the wind.
All Su Yun saw when he looked around was a black and silver torrent. He could no longer hear any human voices. The residents on the island had long been blocked by the torrent. His small courtyard seemed like an isolated island in the vast ocean.
But that wasn't enough, and here comes the third part.
Giant beasts that had never appeared on the island stood tall. They were so huge that they could only walk in a single row on the street. Under each beast walked four warriors wearing golden light armor. Their faces were also covered, but compared with the leading legion, these warriors looked lighter and more agile.
These giant beasts were also covered in golden armor. From a distance they looked like moving fortresses. There were nine of them, and they had no way to disperse. They stopped directly on the street, holding their heads high, and making dull noises.
The back of the giant beast is full of bright colors.
On each of the giant beasts stood four women dressed in luxurious clothes. They wore the same long skirts, with long hems hanging down. When swaying in the wind, nameless light-colored petals fell from the hems like rain. Each of them was a stunningly beautiful and charming figure, and each of them was frozen in the most beautiful years of their lives.
These
As the giant beast stopped, the maids began to dance. They were so light that they seemed to have no weight. They leaped off the beast like birds and finally stopped on the ground. Their petal-like skirts spread out like peacock tail feathers. Graceful and luxurious flowers bloomed one after another with the footsteps of the beast, in full glory.
However, there was only stiff beauty on the faces of these beautiful women, and their delicate eyes had lost their human luster. They were the same as the warrior cavalry in the previous two legions - they were all servants of the gods, they were all undead souls who had died long ago.
The long-dead souls were given new life, and the thoughts and human forms that once belonged to humans were completely eliminated, leaving only a new body that was indestructible, extremely brilliant, and unchanging.
When the nine giant beasts stopped moving and the thirty-six goddesses stopped dancing, it was as if a switch was touched, and everyone saluted at the same time!
The maids bowed gracefully, and the soft smoke and red dust froze; the warriors knelt on one knee, and their spears and swords were all gathered; the cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, and knelt on their right knees, and the tall horses bent their front legs and knelt together; even the giant beasts bent their huge bodies and knelt on their front legs - the countless sounds of metal colliding gathered into a single sound at this moment -
“Wow——”
The black waves, white sea waves, and golden torrents receded at the same time in an instant. Su Yun watched them surrender and worship, and suddenly he thought of turning over all the fallen dominoes.
Isn't that right? In Jasmine's eyes, these divine servants are no different from dominoes, right?
A tall man slowly walked up from behind the group of giant beasts. He was wearing a robe woven with white and gold, his long crimson hair was neatly tied up, and his narrow smoky-gray eyes were sparkling with joy and excitement.
His clothes were heavy and more luxurious than those of the thirty-six dancing women, but he managed to suppress them, turning them into icing on the cake - no, not only the robe, but also the legion, behemoth and beauty before it, all were just unnecessary decorations for him.
The man walked reverently to Su Yun, he lifted his robe gracefully and knelt down at the bottom of the stairs, looking so humble and yet so defiant.
"My master." Jasmine raised her head, her pale eyes reflecting Su Yun's appearance, "Do you like this kind of welcome?"
