Chapter 733: The City of Flowers

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Three days after Ling Xian left the Ao Xian House, he arrived at the famous City of Flowers inside Yuezhou.

This city was one of Yuezhou’s 10 cities. It was known for its strange variety of flowers. It was nicknamed to be the city with the most flowers and the most beautiful place in Yuezhou.

The flower festival that it hosts once every 10 years is especially grand and special. It is known to be drunkenly beautiful. What this means is that when the hundreds of thousands of flowers bloom together, even when real immortals descend, they would get drunk off its beauty.

This was why when Ling Xian heard people talk about the Flower Festival, he decided to visit the City of Flowers.

Inside the Hidden Territory, he lived in Yuezhou for many years but never had the opportunity to attend the festival in person. Today, he conveniently ran into it, so why not come and appreciate the wondrous scene of hundreds and thousands of flowers blooming?

After all, he had left for six years – a few more days wouldn’t make a difference.

“I have heard that during the festival, hundreds of thousands of flowers blossom simultaneously, creating the image of a sea of flowers that is absolutely beautiful.” Looking at the clamorous ancient city, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He marched forward in giant steps and entered the city.

The moment he entered, he was blindsided by the sheer volume of flowers and was speechless.

Other than pedestrians and vendors, there were only stems of beautiful flowers. At first glance, a countless number of strange flowers were wavering in the wind, emitting a dense aroma that relaxed everyone.

The vendors lined up on the two streets were not even selling the commonly seen items such as spiritual Dans or treasures. Instead, they were selling flowers and plants. At least half of the vendors were doing so. Only a few vendors were selling normal items.

Those stores juxta-positioned against the flower shops. This alone was enough to prove the high importance people place on flowers and how much people love these flowers and plants.

“It is no wonder people call it the City of Flowers. Just like its name, it sure is strange.”

Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. During the lost century, he had only heard of the strange traditions of the City of Flowers. But now that he was seeing everything, he felt like the rumors were all true.

This City sure was strange.

“Interesting. Do people here not cultivate?” Ling Xian softly grinned and decided to find a random restaurant to take a short rest in.

The menu once again made him speechless.

Because all the main courses here were made out of flowers. He hasn’t heard the name of any of them. There was, however, an alcoholic item that was made from a hundred flowers that brightened his eyes.

Without hesitation, Ling Xian ordered a pot and began to drink by himself.

The flavor of the alcohol was very satisfying.

“Not bad. Though I am not sure what flowers made this alcohol, it is rich and flavorful. Truly amazing.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and continued to appreciate this alcohol.

Just as he enjoyed himself with this drink, he overheard the conversations everyone else around him were having.

“Have you heard? The Flower Festival this year is a little different than other years. I heard they are going to choose a G.o.d of Flower this year!”

“What? Didn’t the G.o.d of Flowers seat get trashed many years ago?”

“Yes, roughly 1,000 years ago, for some unknown reason, the holder of the G.o.d of Flowers t.i.tle was forced to step down. They also made the rule that there would never be another G.o.d of Flowers. Why are they picking again?”

“Did the City Leader gone dumb? Does he dare to overrule something set by the previous leader? What does he want?”

“G.o.d of Flower…”

Ling Xian captured this keyword and slightly frowned. He’s heard much about the City of Flower but he has never heard of this.

This engrossed him and he continued to eavesdrop.

“I don’t know what the leader was thinking, but I can guarantee the truth in that statement. I heard that the G.o.d of Flowers is of the utmost importance and it is linked to other secrets – maybe even linked to the roots of the City of Flowers. However, within the past 1,000 years where we had no G.o.d of Flowers, the city remained peaceful and without much obstacles.”

“I can’t figure it out. But I believe if the City Leader chose to do this, she must have her reasons.

“Yeah, plus, these kinds of decisions are not up to us so why does it matter.”

“Secret… roots…”

Ling Xian once again grasped onto these keywords and became even more interested. His sixth sense told him that not only will he be able to enjoy the scenery of flowers this time, he will also find some other surprises.

“Exactly. I have no interest in the hidden meaning behind the G.o.d of Flowers, I am more concerned over the beautiful visage of the first G.o.d of Flowers in 1,000 years!”

“Hehe, I am more interested in this as well. It seems like we are on the same boat. Legend has it that the G.o.d of Flowers is chosen by a spiritual flower. This spiritual flower chooses the most beautiful woman as the G.o.d of Flowers.”

“That is true. I have seen the portrait of the G.o.d of Flowers from 1,000 years ago. She truly was incomparably beautiful.”

“Haha, her being beautiful is true. Sadly, the G.o.d of Flowers is required to stay single her whole life and she is not allowed to get married. n.o.body is allowed to touch her.”

“I know, but even looking at her is nice. Hehe.”

Listening to the discussions around him, the corner of Ling Xian’s lips lifted. “Interesting. A G.o.d of Flowers who can never marry. An ancient city with legends… what kind of links are formed between the two?”

Then, he threw down several spiritual stones from his hand and left the building.

He was done with his beverage and has heard everything he needed to hear, thus there was no more need for him to stay. Therefore, he left the restaurant and found a hotel.

After paying several spiritual stones, he entered a relatively quiet room.

Then, he laid on top of the wooden bed and refreshed himself while waiting for the day of the festival.

Based on the information he retrieved, the Flower Festival was happening in three days. This year’s festival would be a little different as they were required to choose a G.o.d of Flowers.

Both of these matters attracted him. The former allowed him to get a taste of the legendarily beautiful scenery of a sea of flowers. The latter would fulfill his curiosity.

Even thinking about it made him realize there were some secrets behind all this. He has always been interested in the Taoism community’s secrets.

Thus, Ling Xian silently waited for the Festival to begin.

The Flower Festival is hosted once every decade. On that day, all the cultivators who belonged to the city would takeout the strange flowers they have planted and nurtured. Under a strange technique, they would force the flower to bloom.

To know that the City of Flower was one of the 10 cities and had a dense population of at least several hundred thousand. If everyone brings out one flower, then imagine how many flowers there would be.

For so many flowers to bloom at once… it is no wonder it is nicknamed as a sea of flowers.

Just like that, time pa.s.sed by little by little. Three days pa.s.sed by just like that.

Today, the Sun had just risen and Ling Xian opened his eyes. A white flash of light dashed beneath his eyes.

“It is time for me to get an understanding of what it means to see a sea of flowers.”

Smiling faintly, antic.i.p.ation lit up his eyes. Then, he left his hotel and came out to the long street.

Then, his silhouette was very quickly buried amongst other people.

What could he do? The Flower Festival was an important event for the city. Everyone partic.i.p.ates or at the very least, comes out and watches.

Thus, many respectable figures even visit the city during this festival.

This made Ling Xian very overwhelmed as he finally understood the meaning of being amongst a mountain and sea of people.

Chapter 390: One Slap in Debt

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

Inside the cave, a skinny hand rose into the air, carrying with it, thunderous speed and energy!

Instantly, the wind blew and the mountain shook!

Ling Xian helplessly shook his head and called out to his Eyes of Execution. The Winged Blitz erupted out of him and blocked the skinny hand.

However, Luo Xin Jie's cultivation level was higher than Ling Xian's. This. .h.i.t was also out of pure hatred. Thus, its power was incomparable and immediately knocked him out.

[What a horrifying woman…]

Ling Xian silently sighed but did not try to fight against her. Instead, he borrowed the energy from the slap and drifted with the energy. Though the Winged Blitz was destructed from the hit, he was not harmed.

To know that Luo Xin Jie was also of the completion level and was already in the intermediate level, for him to be unharmed from this was enough to prove his powerfulness.

"How dare you take advantage of me."

Luo Xin Jie had a strange look in her face as her expression turned frigid. She was no longer mysterious like before.

She was not a promiscuous girl. She simply liked to seduce guys. This was obvious based on the way she interacted with Ling Xian. However, though she was close to him, she never really threw herself on him.

Growing up, no man has ever touched her, let alone her chest. How could she not feel embarra.s.sed? Not feel angered?

"Miss, I…"

Ling Xian bitterly chuckled. But he found himself unable to explain his actions. It was a fact that he extended his hand and it was a fact that he touched her. How could he explain that away?

"There is no need to explain. Let me beat you up first!"

Hissing, Luo Xin Jie abruptly moved and once again raised her palm. This time, it was heading towards Ling Xian's chest.

Ling Xian smiled helplessly, "If hitting me will ease your anger, then I will accept this one hit."

Thus, he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his chest to welcome the hit.

Bang!

The palm dashed across the air and landed square on Ling Xian's chest.

As if thunder had struck, Ling Xian's lips began to bleed. However, he did not step back even half a step. He blocked this attack using his physical body.

Luo Xin Jie frowned and coldly said, "Why not use your spiritual energy to block it? Why not doge it?"

"I told you, if hitting me once can ease your anger, then I will take it willingly." Ling Xian's face was a little white as he swallowed hard. If this was anyone else, he would not be standing here and taking this beating. However, he was in the wrongs today, thus he had to accept this.

"A responsible man."

Luo Xin Jie complimented, though her face remained cold, "Sadly, one hit isn't enough. I need to hit you at least three times."

"If it will relieve your anger, three slaps isn't a big deal." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He stepped forward one step, looking like a ruler.

"Alright!"

Luo Xin Jie's eyes flashed with a wave of strangeness, "Then be careful. I will not go easy on you."

"Come at me, I will face these three slaps!"

Ling Xian's expression turned rigid. He could hear the frigidness in her tone and did not dare to be reckless. After all, the woman's training was above his. To accept three slaps from her could end his life.

However, he did not regret this decision!

A person, especially a man, need to take responsibilities.

"The second slap is coming for you!"

As her voice trailed off, Luo Xin Jie's hand slapped out. The heaven and earth seemingly split at the killer's instinct.

HOOMMM!

A terrifying amount of energy rolled out. Her thin hand like a hatchet, slammed into Ling Xian's chest.

BANG!

As his face turned white, the blood in his chest boiled. Even though he tried to restrain himself with his spiritual energy, he could not control himself and puked out a mouthful of blood.

Retch!

After puking out blood, Ling Xian stumbled backwards as if his joints had been dislocated. What could he do? Luo Xin Jie was far too overpowering. If he used a technique to defend, he wouldn't have been this hurt.

But, he was willing to accept three slaps from Luo Xin Jie, thus, he was not planning on using his spiritual energy against her. How could he defend with only his physical body though?

Don't forget, Luo Xin Jie was a completion levelled cultivator of the intermediate stage. She was also of the undefeatable realm. On top of all this, she did not go easy on him. For him to have survived two of her slaps was already unbelievable.

Even though he was getting hit, he did not use spiritual energy. Compared to Luo Xin Jie, who was using Qi, they were like a cat and a tiger. For a cat to remain alive after getting hit twice by a tiger, how unbelievable was this?

"You are strong. You are the first person to survive two of my slaps." Luo Xin Jie's expression was calm. But within her stare, she was surprised.

It was obvious that she was stunned by Ling Xian's capabilities.

"Ehem, ehem… You are flattering me." Ling Xian puked out more blood and forced a smile, "Please deliver your third slap."

"With the state you are in, you dare to accept another hit?" Luo Xin Jie raised an eyebrow. Staring at the stumbling Ling Xian, she hesitated.

Ling Xian's lips curled up and made a determined statement.

"It's not about whether or not I dare, it's about whether or not I want to."

"Good!"

Luo Xin Jie complimented. Looking at the resolute Ling Xian, all the anger she felt disappeared, "You take responsibilities for your actions, you are a real man. Plus, your Qi and capabilities are beyond anything I've seen in my life."

Beyond anything she's seen.

These simple words represented a high honor!

To know that Luo Xin Jie did not have an ordinary ident.i.ty. She had met far too many Heaven's Favorites yet none of them meant anything to her. To have given the person before her such a high compliment represented how extraordinary Ling Xian was.

"You are flattering me again. Please make your move." Ling Xian forced another grin.

"I am afraid you will die." Luo Xin Jie stared deeply into Ling Xian's eyes, "As for this third slap, I will not deliver it today. But, you better remember, you are one slap in debt."

"Thank you, miss. I will remember." Ling Xian was relieved. He already knew that he cannot handle this third slap.

The only reason why he insisted on accepting the third slap was because, for one, he had his principles. For two, he had a way to ensure he remained alive at the end of this.

"Good. Then we will flip over this page. You cannot mention what happened today again to anyone else." Luo Xin Jie's expression was calm. Glancing at Ling Xian, she looked just like a phoenix.

"Today's event involved your innocence. Of course I will not speak of it." Ling Xian nodded. He silently manipulated his own Qi to heal his own wounds.

"Alright, then we can talk about what's important."

Luo Xin Jie's expression was calm. At this moment, she was no longer alluring and flirty, instead, she was like a G.o.ddess who had rules over the world for many years.

"I know you. You are the famous Master Xian. If I'm not wrong, you came from the nine continents."
