Chapter 415 Big Orange is the most important
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu looked closely and found that the dahlias were blooming lushly and brightly, not at all as bald as Daju had said.
"That's normal," Xiao Yu analyzed seriously. "When the gardeners in the Imperial Garden see that the flowers are bald, they will definitely try to move a new one to avoid being seen and punished by the masters."
"Then please ask him to move it again." Xu Chuchu rubbed his hands and picked up another big bunch of dahlias and held them in his arms.
They returned to the Xiao Mansion, put the dahlias back in the vase, and used magic to keep them fresh.
"Alright." Xu Chuchu said, "We'll hide nearby tonight and catch the turtle in the jar!"
"What if it doesn't come tonight?" Xiao Yu asked, "Maybe it ate its fill last night and won't come out today."
"Good question!" Xu Chuchu pondered for a moment, "If he doesn't come, we'll just wait for two more days."
Everyone: “…”
That night, Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu hid on the roof and behind a tree respectively, concealing their figures and skills, as if they were waiting for something to happen.
Big Orange is responsible for lying on the bed in the room and pretending to be asleep. Its only task is to avoid actually falling asleep.
"I bet you, it's definitely not an animal that eats flowers." Xu Chuchu confidently sent a message to Xiao Yu behind the tree.
"It's not an animal, but a monster. There are so many small creatures around, taking risks just to fill their stomachs." Xiao Yu also sent a message back, very confident in himself.
Xiao Yu analyzed it from the perspective of animal instinct, and Xu Chuchu felt that it made sense, but she had a vague feeling that an animal with the wisdom to carry out a perfect theft would definitely not take risks just to fill its stomach.
But there is a reason for it to steal.
It was a dark and windy night, and there were some slight noises coming from the yard.
Da, da, da...
If it were in front of other people, they would definitely not notice these tiny sounds, not even Daju.
And the people it encountered happened to be Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu.
The two people behind the tree and on the roof looked at each other, nodded seriously, walked around the sound, and quietly reunited.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the thief finally appeared in front of them.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and even the knowledgeable Xu Chuchu felt incredible.
This is not a human, not an animal, but... a dahlia with legs!
It is different from those blooming dahlias. The flower on its head is a closed bud and has not bloomed. It looks more like a little man's head than a blooming flower, and it actually has eyes and a mouth on it.
The stem is like a body, with two separate roots at the bottom, which look like little feet.
This was the first time Xu Chuchu saw a dahlia that could run!
It’s become a spirit!
Because plants are different from animals, they are rooted in the ground and cannot move. They are easily cut down and picked by people, or eaten by other animals. Even a rain or snow can take their lives.
Therefore, compared to animals, it is very difficult for plants to become spirits.
Generally, plants that can become spirits are ancient trees in deep mountains and forests, or vines at the bottom of deep valleys.
How could a roadside dahlia become a spirit? I've never heard of it.
But if you think about it again, it is not impossible. The capital city is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There have been many great national teachers and dog emperors. Many strange people have appeared here and left many traces of spiritual power. It is possible that some little monsters have grown here.
So it came to...save its relatives and friends?
Thinking of this, Xu Chuchu felt extremely guilty, as if he was a kidnapper.
The two of them followed secretly and heard the sweet humming of Daju in his sleep from afar. They saw that the dahlia had climbed in through the window as Xiao Yu had expected, jumped onto the table, then climbed onto the vase, picked up the dahlia, turned around and ran away.
"Chase him!" Xiao Yu came out from behind the tree.
"Wait, don't alert the snake!" Xu Chuchu reminded, "Let's follow it and see what it does. You keep an eye on it first, wait for me for a moment."
She went to the room and took out the sleeping Daju, and was about to wake up Afu, but she didn't expect Afu to be still awake, so she called him over to join them.
Seeing Xu Chuchu coming back with her family, Xiao Yu wondered, "Why are so many people going together?"
Xu Chuchu said: "The flowers are theirs, they need to know the truth."
She also vaguely felt that the relationship between Daju and Afu would change after this incident.
The experience of entering the imperial garden and taking risks together to find the truth often catalyzes feelings.
Whether taking a step forward or a step back, it's better than now.
So Xu Chuchu held Daju, Xiao Yu carried Afu, and they chased after the long-legged dahlia.
On the way, Xu Chuchu looked at Xiao Yu several times with a complicated expression.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. What strange idea was Chuchu having in his mind?
"I regret it." Xu Chuchu said, "I should have carried Ah Fu on my back, and you held Daju."
"Why?"
"Because the big orange is the most important."
"?"
No matter what happens, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Chuchu and Afu to have close contact.
Xiao Yu said nothing, but tightened his grip on Ah Fu.
Ah Fu took a hard breath and almost burst into tears. What happened today?
The three persons and the cat followed Dahlia into the palace again, and saw the little flower fairy holding the flowers and skipping back to its "territory", and inserting the flowers picked by Xu Chuchu back into the soil.
"Can they survive like this?" Xiao Yu asked Xu Chuchu in a low voice.
The book told him that flowers picked from the plant could survive in water for a while, but it was almost impossible for them to be reborn in the soil.
Xu Chuchu shook her head: "I don't know, but if there are spirits of the same kind guarding it, maybe it's possible."
Watching Dahlia arrange each flower one by one in order gave me a unique sense of satisfaction. The three of us and the cat hid in the dark and watched the whole process silently.
Now that things have come to this, there is certainly no need for them to pick the flowers and make them into a bouquet.
Daju felt even more horrified, as if he had kidnapped dozens of lives before.
Just as they were about to go back, they heard a small, sharp voice behind them.
"You won't come to pick flowers again, will you?" The voice was pointing in the direction of their group.
"It took me almost a month to find flowers last time. It was really tiring."
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu looked at each other and walked out from behind the bushes.
When the dahlia fairy saw so many people coming out, she was so scared that she took two steps back.
"You knew we were here?" Xu Chuchu asked it. She sensed it briefly and discovered that this flower spirit also had a cultivation level of the sixth level.
Meanwhile, Dahlia was sensing them and whispered, "...No, I thought there were only two of you. You guys, I don't know."
The "you" it was referring to were naturally Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu.
The cultivation level of the two of them is beyond the reach of even the most talented mortals, and is simply not something that a flower demon like Dahlia, who was born and raised in the imperial garden, can understand.
