Chapter 359 A Report to Yue Guan
Chapter 359 A Report to Yue Guan
Chapter 359 A Reward for Yue Guan
Silent all night.
Time passed silently.
The next morning, the sun was just beginning to rise, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
After Bibi Dong woke up, the two washed up together.
As always, Ye Qifeng summoned his two martial souls, Light and Shadow, to suppress and purify Bibi Dong's negative emotions once again.
Although they longed to stay together and continue their tender moments, both Ye Qifeng and Bibi Dong had their own things to do.
Bibi Dong is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and being diligent, she naturally has to be busy handling the Spirit Hall's political affairs.
Now that the Spirit Hall has entered the next stage of development, she also needs to begin reforming the Spirit Hall's political system and planning the formation of a military army in preparation for unifying the entire Douluo Continent in the future.
Ye Qifeng, on the other hand, planned to visit Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ninth Sister Nihuang, as well as Xiao Mingyue and Xiao Ruiwen.
He originally wanted to see Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, especially Hu Liena, whom he hadn't seen for over two years and missed dearly.
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that we will see it anytime soon.
From Bibi Dong, Ye Qifeng already knew that Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were currently undergoing training at the Death Training Camp and would not be able to return to Wuhun City for at least another month.
Ye Qifeng left Bibi Dong more than a dozen immortal herbs, as well as a large number of top-grade and high-grade herbs, so that she could use them to win people's hearts and reward those who had made contributions.
Then, stepping out of the Papal Palace, bathed in the gentle breeze and the warm morning sun, he walked out.
The Presbyterian Church stands next to the Papal Palace.
Ju Douluo Yueguan's residence is near the Elder Hall, not far from the Pope's Hall, just a few minutes' walk away.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qifeng decided to go find Yue Guan first.
This was not only to repay the life-saving grace from back then, but also to repay the kindness of borrowing the "Illustrated Catalogue of Rare Medicines and Herbs," and to fulfill the promise made at the time, to present him with a rare and precious medicinal herb.
It didn't take long.
Ye Qifeng arrived at the gate of Yueguan's courtyard.
The courtyard of Yueguan is filled with all kinds of rare and exotic flowers and plants. It looks almost the same as it did two years ago. It is still as quiet and peaceful as ever, with fragrant flowers and spring-like weather all year round.
The only difference is that there are many more different and rare varieties.
This shows that Yue Guan had been collecting and cultivating rare and exotic plants.
Arriving at the gate of Yueguan's courtyard, Ye Qifeng looked inside and immediately spotted a tall and charming figure.
Her alluring figure had a head of chrysanthemum-yellow hair, a bewitching appearance, and skin as delicate as a baby's. She wore a moon-white robe, on which a chrysanthemum pattern embroidered with gold thread could be faintly seen.
Needless to say.
This charming figure.
It was none other than Chrysanthemum Lord Yue Guan, nicknamed "Chrysanthemum Lord" and known as the "Flower Lover."
The chrysanthemum pattern on his moon-white robe is his martial spirit, a celestial-grade martial spirit—the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
At this moment.
Dressed in a moon-white robe, Yue Guan was bending over, holding a delicate chrysanthemum-shaped watering can in his hand, watering his precious exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Over the past two years.
Because Ye Qifeng "abandoned his post" and left Wuhun City to travel on the mainland.
The Spirit Hall entrusted all matters concerning the Pan-Continental Business Alliance to Yue Guan alone.
Furthermore, due to Ye Qifeng's secret instigation, Pope Bibi Dong also delegated many trivial political affairs to Yue Guan.
This greatly reduced the time Yue Guan had to tend to the exotic flowers and plants in her own courtyard.
This left Yue Guan feeling both helpless and heartbroken.
Unfortunately, he dared not disobey Pope Bibidon's orders, fearing that he might lose his life if he wasn't careful.
The heartache was naturally directed at the flowers and plants in his courtyard.
Those flowers and plants are all the result of his hard work.
These are rare varieties that he spent decades collecting and cultivating.
Even if a single plant dies due to poor care, it's like cutting off its flesh and dripping its blood.
Today, Yue Guan thought she should take advantage of the little bit of free time she had in the morning to quickly take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Just then, Ye Qifeng arrived at this place and bumped into him.
Yue Guan's movements were incredibly delicate, careful, and meticulous, as if she were afraid of accidentally harming those delicate flowers and plants.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Ye Qifeng standing outside the courtyard gate.
Yue Guan was taken aback at first, then her charming eyes widened in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up straight, put down the chrysanthemum-shaped watering can in his hand, swayed his waist like a woman, and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
After opening the courtyard gate, Yue Guan first bowed to Ye Qifeng, placing his hand on his chest.
"Elder Ju, it's been a long time!"
Ye Qifeng smiled gently and bowed slightly in return.
"Haha, it's been a long time, more than two years."
Yue Guan pinched her delicate fingers together, pressed them against her tender lips, and giggled.
More than two years have passed since I last saw him. His Highness has grown taller and more mature, and seems to be more powerful and mysterious as well.
Yue Guan couldn't sense Ye Qifeng's aura, so naturally he couldn't discern Ye Qifeng's cultivation level.
However, as an experienced level 94 peak titled Douluo, he had worked and spent a long time with Ye Qifeng and was quite familiar with him. Therefore, he could vaguely sense some mysterious and extraordinary aspects of Ye Qifeng.
But he couldn't put his finger on what made him extraordinary.
"When did His Highness return?"
Yue Guan shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and asked.
"It just arrived yesterday."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and replied.
"So, Old Ghost came back yesterday too?"
Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and asked a question.
"Has Elder Ghost not come to see Elder Chrysanthemum?"
Ye Qifeng looked at Yue Guan with a slight surprise.
Aren't they supposed to be best buddies, even closer than blood brothers?
After Ghost returned, he didn't even come to visit his old partner Yue Guan right away?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have taken Gui Mei much time to take Bai Chenxiang to the Spirit Hall Academy to complete the enrollment procedures; it shouldn't have taken a whole day at all.
Was he busy with something else?
But yesterday, Teacher Bibi Dong stayed with him all day and didn't give any orders to the ghosts, which is strange.
"You old bastard, everyone's back, but you won't come to see me? You're even hiding from me!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's face darkened slightly, her voice becoming high-pitched and charming, filled with resentment.
He seemed to understand why the ghosts wouldn't come to see him.
About two months ago.
Upon learning that the ghost had been fortunate enough to obtain and consume a celestial herb, it advanced to the level 96 Super Douluo realm.
While Yue Guan was happy for the ghosts, he couldn't help but feel shocked and envious.
In addition, given his dedication and love for rare and exotic plants, he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of things after finally obtaining information about a divine medicinal herb.
However, whenever Yue Guan pressed Gui Mei about the origins of the celestial herbs, Gui Mei stubbornly refused to tell him, and even deliberately avoided him, leaving Yue Guan still itching to do so.
Yue Guan was furious at the ghost's injustice, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, feeling resentful.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly sensed a chilling aura emanating from somewhere in the shadows. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he understood something. He smiled slightly and said to Yue Guan:
"Perhaps Elder Ghost has some urgent matter to attend to."
"Maybe. Never mind, let's not talk about him."
Yue Guan waved her hand noncommittally, then quickly composed herself, her resentful expression vanishing. She looked at Ye Qifeng with alluring eyes and asked in a soft, seductive voice:
"Your Highness, did you come here specifically to see me?"
"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly. "I came to see Elder Ju to bring her a gift."
"Are you sending me a gift?"
Yue Guan's delicate hand, which was holding a delicate pinky finger, froze in mid-air, her face showing a hint of surprise.
"Elder Ju, let's go inside and talk."
Ignoring Yue Guan's surprised look, Ye Qifeng smiled and made the suggestion.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Yue Guan realized what was happening and quickly apologized:
"I apologize, Your Highness, it was my oversight."
"fine."
Ye Qifeng smiled and waved his hand.
"Your Highness, please come with me."
Yue Guan gestured an invitation, leading Ye Qifeng into his courtyard. He then channeled his soul power and with a wave of his hand, closed the gate.
The air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers and herbs.
The two followed a quiet path paved with blue granite slabs.
Soon we arrived at a pavilion in the center of the courtyard.
Standing in the pavilion, Ye Qifeng looked slightly dazed.
This is the very place where he borrowed the Yue family's treasured manual, "Illustrated Catalogue of Rare Medicines and Herbs," from Yue Guan.
"Elder Ju, do you still remember the promise I made to you when I returned the 'Illustrated Catalogue of Rare Medicines and Herbs'?"
Standing in the pavilion, Ye Qifeng looked at Yue Guan's alluring face and asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, what did you say back then?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. He tilted his head and tried to recall carefully. It seemed that His Highness the Holy Son had indeed made some promises back then, but he couldn't quite remember them.
Ye Qifeng wasn't surprised by Yue Guan's forgetfulness.
When he promised to bring back a divine herb for Yue Guan, Yue Guan probably didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, Yue Guan had been searching for celestial-grade medicinal herbs for decades without obtaining even a single one, nor had he received any information whatsoever about them.
It's perfectly normal for Yue Guan not to believe that he could obtain celestial-grade medicinal herbs on this training trip.
Seeing the somewhat confused look on Yue Guan's face, Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and reminded him:
"Elder Ju, do you remember when I said I would bring back a celestial plant for you after my training trip outside?"
"A divine delicacy?"
Upon hearing the words "celestial grade," Yue Guan's eyes lit up instinctively. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he finally remembered.
At that time, His Highness the Holy Son seemed to have said something like that. Could it be that His Highness the Holy Son really found a divine medicinal herb?
Wait a minute, Old Ghost also consumed a celestial herb. Could it be that his celestial herb came from His Highness the Holy Son?
"Now, I've come to fulfill my promise. Elder Ju, please look!"
Seeing the growing gleam in Yue Guan's eyes, and knowing he had guessed something, Ye Qifeng didn't beat around the bush. He immediately took out the celestial herb he intended to give to Yue Guan from his amethyst crystal ring—
Qirong Tongtianju!
The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a large chrysanthemum with a magnificent purple color. Each petal looks fluffy and is exceptionally cute.
The entire chrysanthemum was perfectly integrated, yet it emitted no fragrance whatsoever.
The central stamen rises more than half a foot above the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden light.
"This is... a rare and precious chrysanthemum?!"
Upon seeing the rare and precious Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan immediately screamed in alarm and became extremely agitated.
She cupped her cheeks in her hands, her whole body swaying back and forth like a soft worm, revealing her feminine side.
At this moment, not only was his voice trembling, but his brain was also trembling.
Even his gaze changed, as if he were looking at his most beloved lover, becoming incredibly devout, infatuated, and adoring.
"That's right, it really is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"
The infatuation in Yue Guan's eyes was almost indescribable.
His hands trembled as he hovered beside the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, wanting to touch it yet daring not to, muttering to himself:
"Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju is a neutral and divine medicinal herb. Consuming it can circulate qi in the limbs, unblock the eight meridians, and cultivate an indestructible body."
"If I had this rare and powerful chrysanthemum, it wouldn't be impossible for me to reach the level of the old ghost, or even go a step further and reach the level of the Grand Master."
"Elder Ju, I know that your martial soul is the Immortal-grade Martial Soul, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. This Immortal-grade Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a gift specially prepared for you based on the characteristics of your martial soul."
Ye Qifeng didn't mind Yue Guan's startled reaction or his awkward, woman-like behavior. With a slight smile, he handed him the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
"Elder Ju, please accept this."
Suddenly, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum fell into her hand, and Yue Guan's delicate body, as soft as a woman's, trembled slightly.
So incredible and unbelievable that even the usually eloquent and rambling speaker's lips trembled slightly:
"Your Highness, is this rare and precious chrysanthemum really meant for me?"
"That's natural."
Ye Qifeng nodded affirmatively.
"By the way, Elder Ju, I know you enjoy collecting and cultivating rare and exotic flowers and herbs. I have some top-grade and high-quality herbs here, as well as some seeds and parts of herb plants that can be cultivated."
Then, Ye Qifeng gently touched the purple jade crystal ring on his left hand and took out a large pile of jade bottles and boxes, which he placed on the stone table in the center of the pavilion.
"The jade bottle contains the seeds of medicinal herbs; the large jade box contains complete and mature medicinal herbs; and the small jade box contains parts of the medicinal plant, such as roots, stems, branches, leaves, fruits, and so on."
As Ye Qifeng took the item, he explained its contents.
"Oh... so many?"
Looking at the jade bottles and boxes piled up like a small hill on the stone table, Yue Guan was shocked, dumbfounded, and completely speechless.
There must be hundreds of varieties, right?
It's almost as many as the number of flowers and plants I grow in my own yard.
The exotic flowers and rare herbs in his own courtyard were the result of decades of hard work in collecting them.
Now, His Highness, you've suddenly brought out so much?
Moreover, from the faint medicinal power emanating from these jade boxes and bottles, it can be sensed that there doesn't seem to be a single duplicate among them.
Where did this come from?
How can there be so many?
At this moment, Yue Guan's forehead was covered with puzzled question marks.
Thank you to [洛无极1480682] for the 500 Qidian Coins! Thank you to [就这jiuzhe] for the 100 Qidian Coins!
