Chapter 98: Chapter 98
But at this moment, searching through the memories in my mind, I still can’t find any knowledge related to the pink flowers in front of me.
They look a bit like Pink Muhly, and their blooming time seems right too, but the flowers of Pink Muhly are feathery, while the sea of flowers in front of me is clearly composed of small individual pink flowers.
For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but look at Feng Qiwu, "Shu Kuang, what kind of flowers are these?"
Hearing these words, Feng Qiwu’s brow furrowed slightly, then he shook his head and said, "I don’t know either. This sea of flowers was discovered just a few days ago by patrolling soldiers from Red Leaf Mountain. I thought you might like it here, so I brought you along."
In fact, the reason he brought Susu here was partly due to the advice of the steward, Li Cang.
Li Cang said that women, no matter their age, always love romance.
And going to see a sea of flowers together, isn’t that a very romantic thing?
He even mentioned that Aunt Zhang was moved by him with just a bunch of foxtail flowers every day in the past.
If mere foxtail flowers could touch a woman’s heart, wouldn’t this sea of flowers move Susu immensely?
However, Susu’s reaction seems different from what Li Cang had said.
"Oh, this place is indeed quite beautiful. Why don’t we go down and have a look?" Bai Susu said with great interest.
Seeing her genuinely enthusiastic, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but relax a bit.
It seems Li Cang wasn’t wrong; women do love romantic things.
Susu is no exception.
He nodded, then dismounted from his horse, gently lifting Bai Susu off her horse with an easy grip on her waist.
As soon as Bai Susu dismounted, she immediately headed towards the sea of pink flowers.
Then, like a botanist, she studied them with great curiosity.
Watching her examining the flowers one moment and studying the leaf veins the next, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but ask, "Susu, what are you doing?"
"Looking to see what kind of plant this is. I’ve never seen it in any books."
Logically, plants growing in this area shouldn’t go unrecorded or undiscovered.
Hearing her words, Feng Qiwu narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe it’s a new species. I’ve had people check, and recently within the borders of Da Qin, many animals and plants never seen before have appeared."
Bai Susu instantly blurted out, "Could it be a mutation?"
"Mutation? That’s quite an appropriate term." Feng Qiwu pondered for a moment before nodding.
"But how could there be spontaneous mutations in animals and plants just like that?" Bai Susu couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling.
According to the theory of biological evolution, mutations in animals and plants are not something that can happen overnight.
Unless... this world has undergone a transformation, causing the flora and fauna to be impacted and mutate in a short time.
Just like modern nuclear radiation, which can cause nearby flora and fauna to mutate in a short period.
But this is ancient times—where would there be nuclear radiation causing mutations?
Moreover, looking at the plants, they don’t seem to have undergone any particularly bizarre changes, and the results on the nearby shrubs and such are quite normal too.
Feng Qiwu shook his head and said, "I’m not entirely clear either, but I would guess that perhaps the surrounding environment has changed."
Hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu couldn’t help but look at him in astonishment.
For someone from ancient times, he quickly identified the relationship between mutations in flora and fauna and environmental change?
"How did you know that?" Bai Susu hurriedly asked.
Feng Qiwu, however, furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Because lately, I’ve constantly felt a powerful force continuously surging into my body from the external world."
"But I’m unable to control this force, and it can only ravage and destroy within me." Google seaʀᴄh novel[f]ire.net
"Yet after meeting you, I found that as long as you’re beside me, this force becomes calm."
This is also why Bai Susu can alleviate his Berserker’s Syndrome.
And Bai Susu, hearing this, looked at Feng Qiwu with astonishment.
Then, recalling the original text, she lowered her head in thought.
She remembered that the original text mentioned Feng Qiwu died due to body explosion, leaving no corpse—a truly tragic end.
According to the writing conventions of her world, the powerful force Feng Qiwu described should be something like Inner Strength.
But Inner Strength is generally something that requires a martial artist to cultivate themselves or be injected into them by another expert. It doesn’t spontaneously surge into a person’s body for no reason.
So, there’s only one type of force that could self-propagate into a human body.
