The Journey of Flower

Epilogue 2- Let’s go all out
Hua Qiangu locked herself in the room and refused to eat. At night time when Bai Zihua came, Hua Qiangu felt even more depressed. The lock could not stop him and no match to him in a fight. She could not see nor run away. Anyway, he got her!

She curled up in the quilt and covered her head with her back facing against Bai Zihua. After a long time she didn’t hear any movement, she couldn’t help but prick up her ears. Suddenly she heard the sound of the rope fabric falling, her face quickly turned red. Hum, beautiful men tricks is not gonna work either.

Bai Zihua took off his coat and lay down beside Hua Qiangu without saying anything.

Hua Qiangu couldn’t help herself and started twisting around like Tangbao. She slowly moved closer to his side. Lifting up the quilt to cover him, suddenly her whole person was picked up and tightly hugged in his arms. She couldn’t help but despite herself for being so useless.

But who told them to sleep in separate rooms for a long time? Firstly, they separated the bed and finally Bai Zihua simply moved to the next door room. Her protest was void. Therefore, she often made noises or shouts at night, causing Bai Zihua to rush over. Although he knew that she was just making a scene but whenever she was shouting ‘Wolf is coming”, he still quickly came over, accompanied her in the middle of the night until she fell asleep, but still refused to sleep with her. Gradually, she felt guilty and lost interest. Now, it’s not easy for him to take the initiative to come to her bed. How could she let it go.

She has a habit climbed over his body and with her sharp chin resting on his chest. Two small hands went to find his hand. Every inch of his body was closely connected to hers. The irritable and depressed mood just now have gradually calmed down.

“Xiao Gu, your Shishu will accompany you to the Human Realm and use a father identity to take care of you.”

When Hua Qiangu heard Bai Zihua mentioned about the bet again, she turned over angrily and turned her back to him: “I said I, Am, Not, Going!?”

“You will be able to see soon. It only need fifteen years. Shifu will go to pick you up…”

Bai Zihua encircled her from behind, with his right hand gently covering her eyes.

Hua Qiangu gritted her teeth from anger: “If the worst comes to the worst, I’d just stay blind for the rest of my life!”

“Xiao Gu!” Bai Zihua lightly reprimanded her.

Hua Qiangu wrinkled her nose: “Are you willing to leave me for such a long time?!!”

Bai Zihua paused for a moment: “Willing.”

“Aren’t you afraid I will gone off with others?!!” Hua Qiangu asked angrily.

“Not afraid.”

Hua Qiangu didn’t know whether he meant that it didn’t matter if she ran away with others, or he was confident that she would not gone off with others. Where would someone be willing to use their beloved as a prop and pursue with others! It’s way out of line!

“Okay! I bet! I bet! Let’s start tomorrow! You better not regret it then!”

Hua Qiangu got up and rushed out of the door with bare feet.

Bai Zihua looked at her slightly shaky back from behind, his eyes became firmer. He’s fully aware that Hua Qiangu has been upset at him recently and blamed him for treating coldly. But cultivation paid great attention to being pure in heart and lustless. He must concentrate all his energy to improve her souls making her perfect. She had suffered too much for him in her life. In any case, he wanted her to stand in front of him in good health and be able to see him and everything.

——————-

Hua Qiangu was walking up and down in You Ruo’s room. You Ruo laid on the table, holding a brush to tease Tangbao.

“Shifu, you really agreed ah.”

Hua Qiangu stomp her feet in annoyed: “He has already agreed. What’s the use of my objection. In the end, I have to give in anyway. It’s better to have a clear-cut now.”

However, she only spoke those words out of anger. Now it’s not a matter of whether or not to bet. It’s a matter of how to win. If the person she likes really isn’t Bai Zihua, there will be a big problem.

“Shifu, why you have no confidence in yourself?!! Back then, at the Immortal Banquet in Immortal Jade Pool, didn’t you able to recognize Honorable Master just one glance?”

“Back then, I was young and inexperienced, bewildered by his beauty. But this time, they can only show their common faces. How can I recognize them? Besides, you don’t know that Shifu is always cold and not good at speaking. And Dongfang smiled could struck people’s souls. He’s clearly has upper hand!”

You Ruo laughed out loud: “It’s only half a day. The news has already spread all over the Immortal Realm. I heard that a lot of people are competing to take part in this bet. Not only Sha Qianmu and Mo Bingxian, there are also many people who secretly have a crush on you or some who bear grudge with Honorable Master. Some other idle immortals are also scrambling to play a small role. I just signed up for it as well! Of course, there are also Tangbao, Luo Shiyi, Huo Xi, and others. I wanted to keep my present appearance, but as Changliu’s disciple, they are afraid that I’ll let out secrets. By the time, I’ll be the same as you having my memory erased.”

Hua Qiangu felt her head dizzy: “How come she feels that this bet has become a playing game and she became the bone that everyone’s fighting for?

“No! Must think of a way to win!”

“You can’t cheat. Dongfang Yuqing has invited the Northern Star Lord and Big Dipper Star Lord to watch them closely for twelve hours. If someone tells you the truth or accidentally leaks it, even any guiding words will be struck by lightning.”

“……..”

Hua Qiangu was speechless. Why are so many people involved?

“People who don’t take part in this challenge are also betting, who will be the ultimate winner. Everyone is looking forward to it!”

Hua Qiangu getting her teeth, suddenly a thought came to her mind: “Will our names change after we descended to the Human Ream?”

“There are many people participating in the challenge this time. Honorable Scholar and Qing Liu who will take part as extras and those who want to win your heart, such as Dongfang, Honorable Master, etc, will not have their memories removed. However, they can’t tell you the truth and can’t show their real appearances, lest you be seduced by beauty. Because there are too many people, for the convenience of identification and prevent cheating, everyone will use their name, which should not affect the outcome.”

“That’s right!” Hua Qiangu smacked the table. “Bring me a brush.”

You Ruo handed her the brush in her hand: “Shifu, what do you want to do?”

“Quick, help me write a few words on my arm. Using magic to write it. Just write ‘I love Bai Zihua’, so that I can see it even when I am in the Human Realm. Watching it from a young age will definitely have an impact. Fifteen years later, when a person named Bai Zihua really appeared, it would be much easier to notice and fall in love.”

You Ruo clapped her hands happily: “It’s like a hypnotic cue. Shifu, you are so smart!”

——————

The next afternoon, the game was about to begin. Seeing that she and Bai Zihua will be separated for fifteen years and during those years she and Sheng Xiaomo retreated into Human Realm, no one shall attempt to find them. Without any contact or peep, completely cut off communication. This to prevent someone from joining the game in advance and leading secretly.

Because Hua Qiangu is still angry at Bai Zihua, although her heart was reluctant, she didn’t hesitate to bid farewell. Seeing that the time has come, in the end she still couldn’t help herself but running to Bai Zihua’s room. Unfortunately, she found that he was not in the room. She guessed he probably went to Nirvana pool first.

“Gu Tuo!” All of a sudden, someone called her from behind. It was Dongfang.

Hua Qiangu’s anger suddenly flared up. There are many things she wanted to ask him to clarify it but Dongfang was ahead of her and pressed his index finger on her lips.

“Don’t ask me why. I’ll tell you later. Come on, be obedient, open your mouth.”

Hua qiangu’s mouth opened uncontrollably and Dongfang has put something into her mouth.

“What did you just feed me?”

“Good stuff.” Dongfang Yuqing’s eyes exposing a smiled and without her knowledge gently wipe the writing where she secretly cheated wrote Bai Zihua name.

“I’ll take you to Nirvana pool. Everyone is waiting!”

On the way Hua Qiangu tried to ask him questions but he didn’t answer a word.

In the Nine Heavens, the Nivana pool is the only way for immortals to reincarnate to the Human Realms and go through their trial. Hua Qiangu knew that it’s useless to say more but there is still a lot of fear and hesitation in her heart.

Shifu…..

She bit her lower lip and refused to make a sound. She shook off Bai Zihua’s hands that tried to hold her hand. She was not in the mood to listen to what the people around her said and jumped off Nirvana Pool in aggravated. Her body became smaller and smaller in the process of falling, and soon turned into a baby. By the time you become like a baby who just born not long ago, Sheng Xiaomo swept his long sleeves, went after her and hooked her tiny body back. In this way, there is no need to reincarnate in any family, which saves a lot of trouble.

Bai Zihua stepped forward and reached out his hand to pinch her little face. Her eyes were already able to see. She looked at Bai Zihua with curiosity and opened her mouth to bite his finger.

The corner of Bai Zihua’s lip slightly curled up. He said in a low voice: “Take care of her.”

Sheng Xiaomo looks at the lovely baby in his arms and said with beaming eyes: “Don’t worry, leave it to me. See you in fifteen years!”

Finished saying, he left the crowd behind and went straight to the Human Realm with Hua Qiangu.

————-

Now, fifteen years has passed in a flash. Sheng Xiaomo regretted he took this hard job out of impulse. It turned out that raising a child is not easy, not to mention there are regulations in the bet agreement, no one allows to use magic spells unless the moment of life and death.

They have lived in many places, anyway they are not lacking of money to spend. It’s rare for Sheng Xiao Mo to come to the Mortal world and naturally he should look around. No one broke the rules and came to disturb them, everything went as expected, except for one thing.

——Hua Qiangu has overeaten and become a fat girl.

Sheng Xiaomo wanted to cry but has no tears. He didn’t know what was going on. Before, it was normal for children to grow up and eat a little more than normal people. By the time he felt something was wrong, Hua Qiangu has become a little fat girl with a body as thick as two children of the same age. She has an amazing obsession with food, as if she can’t get enough of it. She always feels hungry and her mouth can’t stay idle for a moment.

Now that the deadline is up, the game officially begins. In order to make it easy to get in touch with everyone at the same time, the venue was set at an academy in Hangzhou and the people involved in the game naturally are the students and teachers in the Academy. As for who can win her heart in the end, it is up to their abilities.

But maybe if they see Hua Qiangu’s appearance now, he’s afraid that half of them will give up right away? Phew….. He’d be dead for sure!
