Chapter 305: Chapter 305
"You know I’m a Demonic Plant, right?"
As An Shihua uttered these words, Su Yan, who had been walking ahead, stopped dead in his tracks.
He furrowed his brows slightly, turned around, and looked back at An Shihua for confirmation. "Student Shi Hua, what did you just... say?"
"I said... you actually knew that my true identity is that of a Demonic Plant, right?" An Shihua walked up to Su Yan and stopped, her beautiful eyes gazing into his as she spoke softly.
She attempted to see even a glimmer of something unusual in his eyes to determine if her guess was correct.
"Student Shi Hua, I didn’t expect someone as cool and detached as you to joke . It really surprises me a bit," Su Yan casually responded with a laugh.
The surprise in his eyes at that moment wasn’t feigned; it was real. However, it wasn’t surprise at An Shihua being a Demonic Plant, but rather that she had suddenly, and without any warning, revealed her identity to him.
To suddenly and inexplicably reveal her identity ... what is she trying to do? Does she want us to be completely open with each other? That’s clearly not very likely.
In recent months, Old Shu and the Flower God had been frequently stirring up trouble, leading to an extremely tense relationship between humans and plants. The residents of Luo City, in particular, had been attacked twice in just a single month. Moreover, these attacks had occurred at places like the university, which the Human race valued greatly. This had left every Resident of Luo City extremely indignant, wishing they could beat any Demonic Plant they encountered to death. As a Resident of Luo City myself, I had even been ambushed by Old Shu and the Flower God on my way to Jingdou. It could be said that I and the Demonic Plants were irreconcilably opposed; we fought every time we met. Yet, under these circumstances, An Shihua had revealed her Demonic Plant identity right in front of me. This was truly baffling and utterly incomprehensible.
An Shihua, watching Su Yan’s eyes, sensed the surprise they contained. It was a very genuine emotion, not at all deliberate. Could it be... that I was mistaken? That Su Yan... actually didn’t know my secret about being a Demonic Plant? At this thought, An Shihua’s delicate brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly; she felt that things weren’t unfolding as she had anticipated. She had assumed Su Yan knew her identity, but in reality, he didn’t. In that case... it seems my earlier candor has put me in a difficult position, one that’s hard to back out of...
For a moment, both of them were lost in their own thoughts.
"Let’s go, Su Yan. Show me around the Jingdou University campus," An Shihua took the initiative to break the silence, directly bypassing the topic of her Demonic Plant identity and returning to the original question. "We can discuss other matters another day; there’s no rush."
Skipping such a sensitive subject was, of course, exactly what Su Yan had hoped for.
But taking An Shihua on a campus tour? Still out of the question. It’s a typically thankless task. It would only waste my precious time, and I wouldn’t even get paid for it. Whoever wants to do it can go ahead.
Thinking this, Su Yan once again spoke up to refuse, "Student Shi Hua, I really..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, An Shihua, who stood before him, took a petal from her clothes and stuffed it straight into his hand. Read complete versıon only at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Then, with a playful tone, she said, "Busy Su, do you have time now?"
As she spoke, a smile played on An Shihua’s exquisite, pretty face. She was very curious to see how Su Yan, who had just been insisting he was too busy, would now eat his words upon seeing this precious petal.
Under An Shihua’s teasing gaze, Su Yan lowered his head and glanced at the mysterious petal, wreathed in a purple aura, in his hand.
Then, with a slight frown, he said, "Student Shi Hua, what do you mean by this? Do I, Su Yan, look like that kind of person?"
His tone sounded quite righteous, as if he were completely unmoved by the petal in his hand. There was even a hint that he regarded money as mere dirt.
Seeing this reaction, An Shihua simply smiled. He probably doesn’t know the value of this petal, which is why he’s reacting this way, she guessed inwardly.
Then, speaking at a leisurely pace, she said, "This is a Yin Yang Flower petal. It only grows in the vicinity of the Hell River and is a priceless natural treasure that money can’t buy."
Money can’t buy it? Upon hearing An Shihua say this, Su Yan immediately looked down again at the mysterious petal in his hand. Its color was purplish, with hints of yellow. Upon closer inspection, it was an intense yellow—a very, *very* deep yellow, so yellow it was almost indecent, impossible to look at directly. The petal bore complex veins, their patterns strangely intricate, like a scroll depicting a scene from the past. The most striking feature was the purple aura swirling around it, clearly indicating it was no ordinary object. After examining it, he reached out to touch and pinch it. Its touch was incredibly smooth and soft, as exquisite as a woman’s skin, making him reluctant to part with it. This petal... it truly seems to be something extraordinary...
Just as Su Yan was contemplating this, a familiar item information prompt popped up from deep within his mind.
[Yin Yang Flower Petal]: The Yin Yang Flower is a Spirit Plant that grows near the Hell River. It is extremely rare, flowering once every three hundred years and bearing fruit once every six hundred years. Consuming its flowers and fruit has the effect of nurturing Divine Sense.
Nurture Divine Sense?
That’s definitely a good thing!
Just as this thought crossed Su Yan’s mind, several more prompts popped up from deep within his consciousness.
[Detecting Yin Yang Flower Petal]
[Do you choose to Devour?]
[Devouring it can significantly enhance Creature Spiritual Consciousness, strengthen the Three Souls and Six Spirits, and provide a certain degree of Skill Resistance.]
