"No way! I just forgot, and besides, I'm already back!"

Baihuaxiang nestled sweetly in her mother's arms, creating a heartwarming scene.

A moment later, Baihuaxiang's mother, Emperor Xinrui, sent Baihuaxiang away, leaving Yishuihan alone.

"So you are the disciple of the Creator, Yi Shuihan?"

This question reveals that in Xinrui Dizun's eyes, Yi Shuihan's various identities—enlightened Dao Realm expert, company employee, and Baihuaxiang friend—are not as important as the identity of Zaohua Dizun's disciple.

Emperor Xinrui had already confirmed Yi Shuihan's identity, so this question clearly carried a different meaning.

I was originally thinking about how to address this person, whether to call her Auntie in a more intimate way, or to use the usual way that a Chaos Emperor would address a Great Dao Emperor, but now I don't need to think about it anymore.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Emperor Xinrui. I am indeed my master's disciple."

Yi Shuihan faintly sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Emperor Xinrui, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

As expected of a Great Dao Emperor, far surpassing any Chaos Emperor. She appeared ordinary before because she was taking care of her daughter. Every mother shows a gentle side in front of her child, but at other times, the Great Dao Emperor is still the Great Dao Emperor.

"Xiao Xiang likes you a lot. This is the first time she has liked a member of the opposite sex so much. In every respect, you are barely good enough for her. However, if you really want to be with her, you can only have her. If you can't do that, then you should stay away from her."

As she spoke, Emperor Xinrui's tone became extremely stern, making Yi Shuihan feel a deep chill that seemed to freeze his very soul.

"I will try to stay away from her."

Although feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Yi Shuihan could understand Emperor Xinrui's feelings.

"Very well, then after this time you should not contact her again. I will seal away her memories of you."

It's fortunate that Yi Shuihan has a Grand Emperor master. If it were anyone else, Xinrui wouldn't be so easy to talk to. Your own daughter likes you, and you don't like your own daughter? You either choose to die or wholeheartedly love only your daughter. It's one or the other.

Although he felt that Emperor Xinrui was being a bit too extreme by directly sealing his memories, Yi Shuihan ultimately didn't reveal it. After all, it was a family matter, and his role in it was somewhat awkward.

"Since you're already here, you can stay a little longer. How about this: the flower-picking festival is in three months, so you can leave after the festival."

While it was said that Yi Shuihan was to stay longer, the actual timeframe was fixed: he had to leave after three months. Three months was an extremely short period for someone at the Enlightenment Realm like Yi Shuihan.

"Flower Picking Festival? What's that?"

Yi Shuihan knew what the flower thief was referring to, and it was clear that Emperor Xinrui was not referring to that kind of flower-picking festival.

"You can ask Xiao Xiang about the flower-picking festival yourself later; she'll be participating too."

After speaking, Empress Xinrui waved her hand. She didn't leave, but Yi Shuihan was transferred outside the valley.

"So soon? What did Mother say to you?"

"He didn't say much, just thanked me for bringing you back, and then invited me to participate in the Flower Picking Festival. By the way, what exactly is the Flower Picking Festival?"

Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't reveal the truth and decisively shifted the focus.

"Flower Picking Festival? Oh right! The Flower Picking Festival is almost here. You're so lucky. Mother usually doesn't allow outsiders to participate in the Flower Picking Festival. The so-called Flower Picking Festival is..."

Baihuaxiang, like a lark, chattered excitedly as she explained to Yishuihan what the Flower Picking Festival was.

The flower world is home to countless varieties of flowers, including common ones and very special ones. Some of these flowers steal nutrients from other flowers in order to survive, and the purpose of the flower-picking festival is to harvest those flowers that disrupt the ecological balance of the flower world.

It's somewhat like pest control, except here the pests have been replaced by special flower species.

Flowers that are picked but have no use will be destroyed; those that are useful will be disposed of by the person who picked them.

Many flowers that need to be removed in the flower world are actually rare treasures outside; picking flowers is like finding treasure.

These flowers, which are to be harvested, are all mutated during their natural growth process; even the Great Dao Emperor cannot stop them.

Of course, for a Great Dao Emperor, getting rid of these "bad flowers" is easy; it only takes a flick of her finger. However, it would be a bit beneath her dignity to do this as a Great Dao Emperor, so the Flower Realm organizes a Flower Picking Festival every now and then to pick out the unwanted flowers.

"Xiao Xiang, you're back."

Bai Huaxiang was leading Yi Shuihan to the guest room when a very effeminate man suddenly appeared. Well, how should I put it! Although he was clearly very imposing and burly, his effeminate manner made people mistake him for a woman at first glance.

“Xiongzhuang, haven’t I told you countless times not to call me Xiaoxiang? That’s what my mother and Aunt Bai call me. Call me by my full name, Baihuaxiang, or you can call me Uncle Bai.”

Baihuaxiang frowned and said, not impressed by the "strong" she mentioned.

Xiongzhuang was a disciple of one of Baihuaxiang's mother's apprentices. He was also a close playmate of Baihuaxiang when they were young. However, as they grew up, he went astray and Baihuaxiang drifted away from Xiongzhuang. But Xiongzhuang often came to pester Baihuaxiang, considering himself her best "best friend".

"No! I want to call you Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang..."

Damn! Where did this kindergarten kid come from? Yi Shuihan was disgusted and involuntarily took a step away from Xiong Zhuang.

"Shut up, stop yelling."

Baihuaxiang slapped Xiongzhuang across the face, knocking him out...

"Ah! This is the feeling, this slight pain mixed with a tingling sensation, it's wonderful, Xiao Xiang, you're the one who makes the most comfortable."

Xiong Zhuang revealed a perverted expression and said perverted things.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely awkward.

"Or is he a masochist?"

This further shattered Yi Shuihan's worldview, and she made up her mind to stay away from this burly "man".

Chapter 1406, The Room Within a Room

"Little Hanhan, let's go, don't leave him."

Baihuaxiang seemed to have been "defeated" by Xiongzhuang, and pulled Yishuihan quickly toward the palace not far away.

Even without Baihua Xiangla, Yi Shuihan herself was extremely eager to leave this burly "man," and naturally cooperated quite readily.

Of course, Xiong Zhuang wouldn't let Bai Hua Xiang leave so easily. Seeing that Bai Hua Xiang had left, he quickly chased after her. His running posture was quite charming, with his hands twirling in a small, delicate motion.

"Wait, Xiao Xiang, wait for me."

Hearing the powerful shout, Baihuaxiang quickened her pace, leading Yishuihan through the palace, and slipped into a room while Xiongzhuang wasn't paying attention.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, where are you? Come out and play with me!"

Loud shouts could still be heard inside the room. Baihuaxiang made a shushing gesture to Yishuihan, then pulled Yishuihan toward the curtains in the room. Pulling back the curtains revealed a clean white wall, but Baihuaxiang ignored it and rammed into the wall.

A slight ripple sounded, and the fragrance of a hundred flowers had completely entered the wall, making the wall seem as if it were not a solid object.

"interesting."

Yi Shuihan also realized that there was a hidden space in the wall, and without resistance, he crashed into it. After Yi Shuihan disappeared, the curtains that had been pulled open slowly returned to their original place.

What comes into view is a room of about 20 square meters, with only a futon placed quietly there.

Looking back at where we came in, we found that the room was completely clear, the wall seemed to have disappeared, and the curtains were transparent.

That's obviously not the case; things would be different if you went outside.

About a minute later, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Xiong Zhuang walked in. He searched the room carefully, even pulling back the curtains and touching the wall with his hand. However, unlike Bai Hua Xiang and Yi Shui Han, he did not pass through the wall; it seemed that the wall had become a solid object.

"Strange, Xiao Xiang should be in the room, how could she be gone?"

Xiong Zhuang looked puzzled, holding a compass in his hand, which was pointing in the direction of Bai Hua Xiang.

"Is it broken?"

After repeatedly examining the compass, Xiong Zhuang, unwilling to give up, ran his hands along the wall and even punched it a few times, but still found no truth.

When Xiong Zhuang pounded the wall with his fist, Yi Shuihan was also sweating bullets, watching with a bit of trepidation. Bai Huaxiang, on the other hand, seemed very calm, not worried at all that anything might happen.

After fussing for a while, Xiong Zhuang left the room. At this moment, Yi Shuihan thought the matter was over and was about to walk out when Bai Huaxiang stopped him.

"He will come back."

Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, Xiong Zhuang returned to the room, still holding the compass in his hand. He drew back the curtains and stood in front of the wall.

"Xiao Xiang, come out! I know you're here. I've already found you. If you don't come out, I'm going to come in."

This time, Xiong Zhuang seemed to be full of confidence.

"Has it really been discovered?"

Even Yi Shuihan began to have doubts, and couldn't help but look at Bai Huaxiang before feeling relieved. Bai Huaxiang's composure was genuine.

After shouting loudly for more than ten times without receiving a response, Xiong Zhuang stopped, flipped his hand, took out a bronze key, inserted it into the wall, and made a gesture as if to unlock it.

The key was embedded in the wall, and Xiongzhuang turned it more than halfway, but nothing happened, leaving Xiongzhuang completely bewildered.

"How could this be? This shouldn't be happening! This is a master key; it can unlock any kind of restriction."

On the other side of the wall, Baihuaxiang looked at Xiongzhuang smugly, muttering to herself, "Hmph, I knew there was a master key. This place has been specially modified by me."

Even though Xiong Zhuang couldn't get in, he didn't give up and started chatting with others through the wall.

"Fine, if you don't want to go in, then don't. Anyway, I know you're inside, so I can stay outside. Xiao Xiang, I haven't been happy since you left. All I do every day is cultivate, cultivate, cultivate. Let me tell you, my Sunflower Manual has reached the 9th level of cultivation island! My strength has improved a lot compared to before. In the future, when we go out to fight, I won't hide behind you like before. I can be your support from the side..."

He talked for a long time, but Yi Shuihan basically didn't understand any of it.

Seeing that Xiong Zhuang was really going to drag this out, Bai Hua Xiang took out her hidden trump card and led Yi Shui Han out from the other side, directly to another adjacent room. They carefully made their way out and finally escaped successfully.

After that, Yi Shuihan never saw Xiongzhuang again. Bai Huaxiang told him that Xiongzhuang was under house arrest and would only be released during the Flower Picking Festival.

Knowing that Baihuaxiang's memories would be sealed after she left, Yi Shuihan, out of a sense of compensation, cooperated by accompanying Baihuaxiang to have a good time in the Flower Realm.

Over the course of three months, Yi Shuihan had roughly explored the Flower Realm. Although he hadn't been to every place, he at least knew where each place was.

The Flower Picking Festival arrived as scheduled. On this night, two bright moons rose into the sky, one on the left and one on the right, one red and one blue, as if the sky had been split in two.

The Flower Picking Festival is a special festival, not only because flowers are picked on this day, but also because only on this day can the rare double moon appear.

Normally, the Flower Realm has a moon that rises in the sky every month, with the red and blue moons taking turns appearing each month. However, every ten million years, there will be three days when two moons appear in the sky, and these three days are also the duration of the Flower Picking Festival.

The Flower Realm is also a complete world, much larger than the Primordial Wilderness. In addition to the Hundred Flowers Fragrance family, there are many native creatures in the Flower Realm. They also participate in the Flower Picking Festival, which is a festival for the entire Flower Realm. However, they are relatively weak and cannot go to many places. They cannot pick some ferocious flowers. If they go there, they will not pick flowers, but will be trampled to death by the flowers.

Those flowers that need to be picked are not so easy to pick. Some flowers even have powerful attack capabilities, and even a true saint can be injured if he is not careful.

After the twin moons rose into the sky, Yi Shuihan set off alone. It wasn't that he didn't want to go with Baihuaxiang, but Baihuaxiang wanted to travel with her relatives and friends, including the burly man. If Yi Shuihan went with them, he would feel uncomfortable, and picking flowers would be inconvenient. Also, if he found something good, it might not be his. So he chose to travel alone.

Chapter 1407, The Law Flower

Going solo has its advantages: freedom and all the profits belong to you. But it also has its disadvantages: you have to rely on yourself when you encounter danger, and it's less efficient than going in a team.

Of course, this disadvantage was negligible for Yi Shuihan. His strength was undeniable, and he feared no one in the entire Flower Realm except for the Flower Realm Master, Emperor Xinrui.

Even when facing Emperor Xinrui, as long as Emperor Xinrui doesn't go all out against him at the beginning, he can still easily escape unscathed. He has teleportation ability, so he's very stable.

The Flower Picking Festival lasts only 3 days, so time is tight. Therefore, Yi Shuihan did not waste any time and immediately got into the zone.

To be honest, there are quite a few good things. Although there are basically no things that are useful to someone at his level, there are quite a few flowers that are beneficial to True Saints and even those in the Dao Seeking Realm. He can't use these flowers himself, but he can use them to exchange for or train his subordinates.

"Moonflower, the material for making Moon Fragrance, which can enhance soul power and has a certain effect on those below True Saint. I'm lucky to have ten of them."

On a cliff, the pale blue flowers and pale purple stems of the rose quietly bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance.

The moonflower, being the flower to be picked, is naturally extraordinary. The mountain where it is located has become a dead zone, with no other life existing on the entire mountain except for it. The reason is that it is impossible to survive here; one mountain is already the limit for it to support them, and it cannot accommodate others.

According to the information Baihuaxiang gave Yishuihan, the Shengyue Flower was considered a lower-middle-grade find. Yishuihan was quite lucky to have found it in less than an hour.

Leaving aside the harvesting process, it wasn't too difficult for Yi Shuihan anyway, and Sheng Yuehua's abilities were completely useless to him.

After picking the Sheng Yue flowers, Yi Shuihan continued his flower-picking journey and subsequently encountered many more fine specimens.

Variegated flowers, Heavenly Palace, Wind Spirit Falls, Yellow Millet Bones, Embracing Sparrows and Ferns...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the last day of the Flower Picking Festival arrived. Yi Shuihan had already reaped a bountiful harvest, having collected quite a lot. The vast majority of these were only beneficial to those below the True Saint level, while a few were extremely useful even to True Saints. What satisfied Yi Shuihan the most was the unexpected discovery of a Law Flower, which would still be of some benefit to him even now.

The Law Flower, directly named after laws, has extraordinary effects. Consuming this flower can aid in enlightenment, and over a certain period, it can increase the user's enlightenment speed by two to three times.

Don't underestimate these two to three times speed; this is already quite a powerful state. When you reach a bottleneck in enlightenment or a period of lack of inspiration, the boost from two to three times the speed of enlightenment can often have unexpected effects, and may even help you overcome the difficult period and usher in rapid development.

In the second realm of the Chaos Emperor, the Enlightenment Realm, everything depends on oneself. In the Seeking Dao Realm, there is still a Dao to rely on, and one can comprehend the Great Dao that exists in itself. The Enlightenment Realm is completely different. The Law Flower is one of the very few things that can help the Enlightenment Realm cultivators.

If we were to use numbers to represent the opportunities of each Flower Festival, this Law Flower would probably account for 99% of all opportunities out of 100, and all the others combined wouldn't be as valuable as it.

The Flower Picking Festival is a once-in-millions-years event, but this Law Flower is a rare treasure that appears only once every hundred million years. It's fortunate that Emperor Xinrui classified it as a flower that needs to be picked.

The Moonflower only affects one mountain, while the Law Flower requires even more from nature to grow. Its influence range is more than ten thousand times that of the Moonflower. Moreover, the Law Flower is extremely difficult to distinguish, as it is hidden among countless ordinary flowers. Without picking it, one cannot even confirm that it is a Law Flower.

Where there is a Law Flower, no rare items will appear nearby. This is mandatory. However, this situation is also very common in the Flower Realm, and no one would associate it with the Law Flower.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan obtained this Law Flower by chance. He just picked it casually and instinctively, only realizing what he had picked after he had done so.

The Flower Realm takes great care of its flowers and absolutely forbids large-scale destruction. Picking a few flowers occasionally is not a crime. Moreover, the flowers that Yi Shuihan picked were extremely ordinary-looking. If it were truly forbidden to pick them, Bai Huaxiang would have already told Yi Shuihan.

When the Flower Picking Festival started, Yi Shuihan set off from the very center of the Flower Realm, just like Bai Huaxiang and the others, but in a slightly different direction. Now that they have traveled for so long, they are probably even further away from each other.

"It's about time to head back."

The two moons in the sky can only be seen as blurry outlines. Before long, the sight of two moons appearing together will disappear, and the Flower Festival will come to a complete end.

Although you can still pick flowers after the Flower Picking Festival ends, since the flowers are there and won't disappear, this is Emperor Xinrui's trump card. Since it is stipulated that flowers can only be picked during the Flower Picking Festival, Yi Shuihan will inevitably be punished if he violates the rule. Even if he picks something good, he will not get it and will lose a lot instead.
