Li Yuan was a little puzzled. His blood?
He asked, "What use do you have for my blood?"
The man chuckled, gave a vague answer, and said, "I have my reasons, and besides, a few drops of blood shouldn't be too much for the Realm Lord... As for the Realm Lord's wife..."
Li Yuan wanted to ask for more details, but upon hearing about his wife's situation, he didn't hesitate any longer. He also felt that a few drops of blood wouldn't cause any harm, so he gave the man a few drops of blood as requested.
The man smiled triumphantly and said, "The Realm Lord is indeed straightforward. In that case, all you need to do is..."
"Twin lotus blossoms?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.
“That’s right, twin lotus blossoms are the only way to save the Lady of the Realm.” The man chuckled.
"But... where are these twin lotus blossoms?" Li Yuan asked.
He'd never heard of twin lotus blossoms, so where was he supposed to find one...?
The man tempted, "Does the Realm Lord know where this Flower Goddess of the Divine Realm comes from?"
"The Flower Goddess...it is said that she was originally from the Flower Realm," Li Yuan replied.
The man nodded and said, "That's right, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan continued, "The twin lotus blossoms are with the Flower Goddess."
The man remained noncommittal.
Seeing this, Li Yuan did not delay and clasped his hands in thanks to the other party, saying, "Thank you, sir. I have other important matters to attend to and cannot fulfill my duties as host. Please forgive me."
The man laughed heartily and said, "It's alright. Since the Realm Lord has other matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer and will take my leave now."
"Please go ahead."
"please."
...
As the flashback ended, Li Yuan realized he had been used as a pawn. That person was actually from the demon realm, and had used his blood to break the barrier, resulting in the loss of the twin lotus blossoms and the lotus god transforming into a lotus…
He's... damn it.
Li Yuan looked at the Flower Goddess and Star Goddess with shame and said, "This matter was caused by me. I will definitely take back the Twin Lotus and apologize to you!"
After saying that, Li Yuan flew directly towards the Demon Realm, before the Flower Goddess and the Star Goddess could even say anything to stop him.
"etc!"
Seeing that he could not be summoned, the Star God also leaped forward, chasing after Li Yuan.
The anxious Flower Goddess was left alone.
...
And they never returned...
"No, we can't wait any longer." The Flower Goddess paced back and forth outside, her face filled with apprehension.
"Mother..." The little child ran out of the house and took the hand of the Flower Goddess.
"Cheng'er, Mother is going to find your father. You stay here and behave yourself, don't run around." The Flower Goddess gently stroked the child's head and said softly.
That child was the result of her union with the Star God, the second of her "twins" lacking that one divine soul, named Hua Xingcheng.
The child nodded obediently and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Okay, Mother."
The goddess of flowers patted his head again, seemingly reluctant to part with him.
On their journey to the demon realm, they don't know if they'll be able to find the Star God and the others. Even if they do, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
The future is uncertain.
"Mother..." the child called out again.
"Hmm?" The Flower Goddess turned around, listening to what he was about to say.
"Mother... Cheng'er... Can Cheng'er go find Brother Su..." Hua Xingcheng put his two little hands together, lowered his head, and pleaded weakly.
The Flower Goddess glanced at him again, straightened his folded hands, and said with a slightly serious tone, "Cheng'er, raise your head."
Hua Xingcheng slowly raised his head, his bright eyes fixed on the Flower Goddess, causing her to be momentarily stunned.
This child looks so much like his father, especially his eyes...
The Flower Goddess looked at Hua Xingcheng and said solemnly, "Remember, you are our son. You don't need to bow your head wherever you go, even if I am your mother."
"Yes, Cheng'er understands." Straightening his back, Hua Xingcheng said seriously.
"Very good." The Flower Goddess nodded with satisfaction, patted Hua Xingcheng's small shoulder, and smiled, "Go."
Li Su, son of Li Yuan, will be the next ruler of the Li Continent. After Li Yuan and the Star God went to the Demon Realm, he frequently visited the Lotus Realm. Over time, Hua Xingcheng also developed a deep friendship with him.
With Li Su accompanying her child on this trip to the demon realm, she felt more at ease.
