Since there are ghosts in this world, there are naturally other kinds of life as well. The Flower God Clan, as the name suggests, is descended from the Flower God. Legend has it that the Flower God, Wei Zixian, unexpectedly fell in love with a human woman while traveling in the mortal world and gave birth to a child. Therefore, all the descendants of the Flower God Clan, regardless of gender, possess the blood of the Flower God. This is why they all have outstanding appearances.
Shi Liu looked at the appearance of the old lady and the other person, and shook his head in his heart: "System, the Lan family shouldn't be the Flower God clan, right?"
[Of course not. The Lan family is at most just servants of the Flower God Clan.]
Shi Liu lowered her eyes. In fact, she was just asking casually at first, but she didn't expect the system to know so much. It even knew the relationship between the Lan family and the Flower God clan. And from the tone of the system, it seemed that it looked down on the Lan family. So what was the origin of this "system"?
[The host possesses the essence and blood of the Flower God Clan within his body. Unsurprisingly, he is the surviving descendant of the Flower God Clan in this world. This Moonlight Gilded Fluid can help the host awaken his companion flower. Unfortunately, the world has undergone tremendous changes and the abundant spiritual energy of ancient times is no longer there. Otherwise, perhaps the host could use this...]
Shi Liu originally wanted to hear the details, but the system stopped talking mid-sentence, nearly suffocating her to death. However, she also knew that if the system didn't want to talk about something, no matter how much she asked, she would never get the answer, so she simply didn't bother to pursue the matter.
"System, tell me about the companion flower."
[After awakening the companion flower, the host will have their own body fragrance, and it will be easier to cultivate related flowers.]
Shi Liu was originally full of expectations, but the result was just this: "..." She originally had the Nine Yin Body, so her appearance was naturally good. The awakening of the companion flower was really a bit useless to her.
The system naturally sensed the change in the host's mood, but the world has changed now. It is no longer the era when cultivators can call the wind and rain, so even if the host awakens the companion flower, it will not be of much use.
Shi Liu's interest suddenly waned, but she didn't sell the Moonlight Gilded Liquid. After all, it was a rare treasure, and she was also curious about what her companion flower was.
The flower goddess Wei Zi knew it was peony as soon as she heard the name. Shi Liu sipped her lips and thought that perhaps the companion flower she awakened was also peony.
"Who doesn't love peonies? They dominate the city's beauty. I suspect they were created by the goddess of Luochuan, their myriad forms piercing the morning glow." Shi Liu is quite fond of the stunningly beautiful peony, and it would be a great pleasure to cultivate it herself. "If I rent a house and have an abundance of flowers, I'm afraid they're demonic when they first bloom."
The system was speechless and amazed. It didn't care about it just now, but now it began to covet the peony companion flower. However, the host with the blood of the flower god might really be able to awaken the peony companion flower.
Shi Liu was doing three things at once: chatting with the system, listening to the old lady telling the legendary story of the flower god, and checking the goods on the stall.
Even though the old lady was talking with great enthusiasm, she didn't forget to sell her goods. She picked up a wooden sign and said with a smile, "Little girl, don't underestimate this sign. It's a sign passed down from our ancestors. It's said to be from the Flower God clan..."
Listening to the old lady's boasting, Shi Liu felt that all her sincere feelings had been thrown away. She now seriously suspected that the old lady told her the story of the flower god just to sell this wooden plaque.
Shi Liu looked at the wooden sign that was stuffed into her hand and examined it carefully. There was actually an exquisite peony carved on it. If she guessed correctly, it was a rare variety of peony called "White Snow Tower". Just as she was about to put the wooden sign down, the system's voice rang in her mind.
[Host, buy the wooden sign]
Shi Liu's eyes darkened. It seemed that this wooden plaque was a good thing. So, she smiled and said, "Auntie, how much is this wooden plaque? Let me know in advance. If it's too expensive, I won't buy it. Well, I mainly want to see if we get along well."
The old lady who was about to ask for a high price suddenly smiled awkwardly: "I am a real person. If you want this wooden sign, just give me fifty cents."
Fifty cents is not from later times. Today, fifty cents is quite valuable. Shi Liu was immediately unhappy: "Auntie, you are being dishonest. This wooden sign is not carved from any precious wood. How can it be worth fifty cents? I'll give you twenty cents. If you sell it, I'll pay. If you don't, forget it."
Although the old lady wanted to make a fortune, 20 cents is still money, so she gave the wooden sign to Shi Liu very decisively.
Shi Liu's body froze. If she had known, she should have said 10 cents. Forget it, she didn't need that 10 cents, so 20 cents would be 20 cents.
The old lady took the 20 cents and was so happy that her mouth was crooked with smile. This wooden plaque was carved by her husband based on the one passed down from their ancestors. It was not worth anything at all. The 20 cents could be said to be a net profit.
The nephew of the lady next to her gave her a thumbs up.
Shi Liu was speechless. It turned out that these two people were treating her as a fat sheep and fooling her. If the system hadn't asked her to buy it, she would not have been a "sucker". The fact that the system took a fancy to it showed that she had lost money.
"System, please don't tell me this wooden plaque really belongs to the Flower God Clan that that old lady lied about?"
[This wooden plaque should belong to the direct bloodline of the Flower God Clan. I don't know why it fell into the hands of the Lan family and was sold as a fake.]
The system's doubts were also Shi Liu's doubts. The main system would never have thought that the mistake was made just because the child was too careless.
The old lady's eldest grandson was at an age of strong curiosity. Seeing how much his grandfather treasured the wood carving, he became curious and immediately swapped the wooden plaque carved by his grandfather with this one. However, the old lady was not a professional, so she just took it out and sold it. Thus, Shi Pomegranate got a bargain.
Grandpa Lan looked at the wooden sign he had carved and hurriedly went to check the wooden table where the goods were being sold. Seeing that it was empty, Grandpa Lan suddenly collapsed on the ground, mumbling: "Gone, all gone——"
When the old lady returned home, she saw the old man slumped on the ground and asked in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Grandpa Lan suddenly jumped up and grabbed her basket. "Where's the wood carving you took away?"
The old lady didn't notice anything unusual about Grandpa Lan yet, and said proudly: "You won't believe it, all the wooden signs were sold today. I sold two of them for 20 cents!" You know, on weekdays it's good to sell them for five cents, this is a full four times the amount.
"All sold?" Grandpa Lan's voice was broken.
"Yes, several military family members came today. I haven't seen them before. I guess they came to visit relatives recently..."
Grandpa Lan could no longer hear his wife's subsequent chatter. He only knew that the wooden plaque that had been passed down in his family for hundreds of years was gone in his hands, and he had become the sinner of the family...
The old lady looked at Grandpa Lan's slowly falling body, and her face turned pale with fear: "His father..."
