Chapter 137: The God of Flowers is Sheng Jieyue?
"Huh?" The old woman turned around, her eyes widening in shock at the revitalized Jasmine. "How...how did this flower suddenly come alive? Could it be some kind of blessing?"
Sheng Ran quickly withdrew her hand, her heart pounding, and she pulled Yun Ling forward: "Let's go quickly, now that we have bought all the herbs, it's time to go back."
She looked down at her fingertips, secretly amazed.
In the past, at the end of the chapter, he could make the wild flowers and weeds at his doorstep grow new flowers overnight. This unique ability became even more powerful in Yuhua City.
Is it related to the climate and soil here? It shouldn't be considered a talent of hers.
Yun Ling followed her words and walked out, but he still couldn't forget the scene just now. He whispered: "Wife, you are becoming more and more proficient in this skill."
"Maybe it's just luck." Sheng Ran didn't want to think too much.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a quarrel in front of them.
Several orcs in uniform gathered in front of a flower stall. The tall tiger beast in the lead was yelling at the stall owner:
"I said I wanted the freshest yulan flowers! You're almost wilting now. How are you going to get them to Central City? If something goes wrong at the Saint's birthday party, can you afford it?"
The stall owner was a young rabbit orc, his ears drooping with fear.
"Sir, Yulan flowers are very delicate. It takes ten days to travel from Yuhua City to the central city. Even if you change the water every day, there's no guarantee they won't wilt... I've already picked the freshest ones."
"Nonsense!" The tiger beast kicked over the flower bucket next to it. "Her Royal Highness wants the whole city to see the beauty of Yuhua City. Are you trying to embarrass Her Royal Highness by showing this wilted flower?"
Sheng Ran stopped, secretly puzzled. Why did they have to go so far as to transport flowers from Yuhua City for the Saint Female's birthday party?
"Her Royal Highness the Saintess said she wants hundreds of cartloads of jasmine flowers to decorate the Glazed Palace," someone whispered nearby. "But these flowers are too delicate. The last few shipments were half-wilted by the time they reached Central City. The people at the Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce are practically going crazy with anxiety."
"I heard that the president of the Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce announced that anyone who can keep the orchid fresh for ten days will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"
"How can it be that easy? Unless the God of Flowers truly appears..."
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense. The God of Flowers is just a legend. I heard that he appeared in the Beast World a thousand years ago, spreading flowers to cure the plague, and he hasn't appeared since."
Hearing the words "God of Flowers", Sheng Ran and Yun Ling looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
It turns out there really is such a legend. It sounds like a real god, which is completely different from my own ability to grow flowers.
The tiger beast was still angry, and the rabbit stall owner was almost crying with anxiety: "Sir, there is really nothing we can do... How about you try other flowers? Roses and peonies can keep longer."
"No!" the tiger beast refused flatly. "Her Majesty the Saint specifically requested the orchid flower, saying it's 'the flower favored by the gods' and must be used in sacrifice to pray for the gods' blessing!"
Sheng Ran's heart skipped a beat.
Is Yulan Flower "Beloved by God"?
She looked at the budding magnolia flowers on the stall, and thought of the one she had just saved. An idea popped up in her mind uncontrollably -
Maybe you can try it yourself?
"Yun Ling, let's go and take a look." Sheng Ran pulled him to the flower stall.
Seeing a strange female master coming, the tiger beast waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, you have nothing to do here!"
He was probably an envoy from the Central City, and came to Yuhua City specifically for the flowers for the Saint Female's birthday party.
The tiger beast had quite a lot of special abilities, and it could tell at a glance that Sheng Ran was a useless female with no beast form and no special abilities.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. In this world, there are not many females with such low abilities.
The Saint's sister, the notorious ugly woman in Central City, is one of them.
The female in front of me is beautiful, but it’s useless to have just a face.
Just like that ugly woman, stupid and incompetent, a waste of resources.
But Sheng Ran then said——
"Maybe I have a way to keep the flowers fresh."
Her voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone was stunned, including Yun Ling.
The tiger beast looked her up and down as if she were a madman. "You? A useless bitch? Don't mess around!"
The word "useless female" hurt Sheng Ran, but she did not get angry. She just pointed at a pot of half-opened orchid flowers on the stall.
"I don't need ten days, just three. If the flower is still as fresh as it is now after three days, how about you trust me again?"
The rabbit stall owner seemed to have grasped a lifeline and quickly said, "Sir, let her try! What if... what if it works?"
The tiger beastman hesitated for a moment, then looked at Sheng Ran's clear and determined eyes and nodded for some reason: "Okay! I'll give you three days! If you dare to play tricks, I'll throw you to the wolves—"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Ling suddenly raised his hand and clamped the tiger beast's throat with his palm, "If you say anything disrespectful to my master again."
"I won't let you live to the third day."
The powerful supernatural power emitted by Yun Ling was extremely oppressive, and all the orcs present were shocked.
Sheng Ran gently tugged at the corner of his clothes to stop him.
Then she asked the rabbit stall owner to prepare a clean clay basin, fill it with water, and find a smooth pebble.
She placed the orchid into a clay pot, gently placed the pebbles next to the pot, then reached out with her fingertips hovering above the petals without touching them directly.
"What are you doing?" the tiger beastman asked impatiently, "Didn't you say there was a solution?"
Sheng Ran ignored him, closed her eyes, and silently prayed to herself to keep the flowers fresh.
She could feel the warm power surging from her body again, wrapping around the stem of the magnolia flower like a trickle of water, and seeping into every petal and every leaf.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and withdrew her hand: "Okay."
Everyone around looked skeptical.
How could this be so easy? No special potions, no spells, just dangling a finger?
"Who are you trying to fool?" the tiger beastman shouted angrily. "If the flowers wilt in three days, I won't let you go!"
After he finished speaking, he met Yun Ling's gaze and closed his mouth in fear, his face pale with fear.
"You'll know in three days." Sheng Ran said calmly, "I'm staying at the Baihualou Inn here. You can find me there then."
After saying that, she pulled Yun Ling and turned to leave, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Back at the inn, the beastmen heard about this and were very worried.
"Wife, why are you taking such a risk?" Pei Xiaoxing frowned. "Those are the Saint Female's people. If they discover your special ability..."
"I know my limits," Sheng Ran interrupted him, a probing look in her eyes. "Don't you find it strange? Why did Sheng Jieyue insist on using the yulan flower? And she even said it was 'favored by the gods'?"
Zhu Jiuyin's scarlet-gold pupils flickered. "Ancient texts from Yuhua City record that the Yulan flower was the first flower sown by the God of Flowers thousands of years ago, symbolizing 'rebirth.' But the God himself has long since disappeared. Perhaps the Saint Female simply wanted to elevate herself through the symbolism of this flower."
Huai Jun pondered for a moment and suddenly guessed, "Perhaps Sheng Jieyue wants to tell everyone that she is the God of Flowers?"
Sheng Ran frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
If the God of Flowers they were looking for was Sheng Jieyue.
Then it would be better if she didn't have any of the abilities she currently possessed.
