After crawling out of the eggshell, I decided to be a salted fish (a lazy person).

"It's so hot! Have we arrived yet?"

As Mo Shan'an walked, he asked questions, and the man in front of him, as if retaliating, leisurely replied while nibbling on a dog's tail.

"Soon, soon!"

Di Yexuan chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Serves you right for spouting nonsense earlier. I can still deal with you now."

Another half hour passed

Both of them were exhausted. Mo Shan'an fell into deep thought, unsure whether he should say something.

"Why don't we use our spiritual power to fly there?"

"cough"

Di Yexuan pretended to be calm and said to him, "When we come to the human realm, we can't just fly around like usual. We're going to experience the fun of walking."

"Speak to the important points"

"I don't know where Flower Town is."

Mo Shan'an froze, staring at the other person with disbelief in his big round eyes, while Di Yexuan looked back innocently.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of a place called Flower Town."

"Isn't she the place for your beloved?"

Di Yexuan touched his nose and looked at him speechlessly. "Fake."

Okay, even if this is fake, "then why were you so confident in telling me it would be soon?"

"do not know"

Mo Shan'an had no desire to talk to him anymore. This place was in the middle of nowhere; where was he supposed to ask someone for directions?

"someone"

An old man was driving a horse-drawn carriage past and tugged at someone.

The latter, however, acted as if nothing had happened, frowning and shaking his head, meaning he would never ask.

"You, forget it."

Mo Shan'an sighed, then put on the smile that the elderly folks liked, waving his hands, making him hard to miss.

When the old man saw the children blocking his way, he was initially wary. But then he noticed their clothing and realized they weren't robbers or anything like that—no robbers would be with a child.

"Young master, what brings you here?"

Mo Shan'an grabbed the man beside her who didn't know anything and asked him for information.

"Excuse me, sir, how do I get to Flower Town?"

"You're here for the Flower Festival? That's easy. I'm also heading into town anyway, so come with me."

The old man also had a little grandson. Seeing the fair-skinned little guy, he looked kind and gave them a ride.

"thank you"

Di Yexuan was pinched on the soft flesh of his waist by Mo Shan'an, and he also thanked the old man.

Sitting on the wooden cart felt awkward; it was his first time riding in such a carriage, and he found it quite novel.

Ignoring the foolish look on the man's face, Mo Shan'an inquired about the situation of Hua Ling in Hua Town.

"Grandpa, I heard there's a Flower Fairy in Flower Town? Is that true?"

"Haha, I've only heard about this old man. I live in the next town, but it's called Flower Town because flowers are easy to grow there."

"Oh, I see."

"However, I have also heard that some people in Flower Town have seen Flower Spirit. There is a story about Flower Spirit that has been passed down in Flower Town."

"I know that," Mo Shan'an glanced at someone with ill intent and said slowly, "She was once fought over by the two princes of the Dragon Clan, but she refused to submit and escaped. Her beloved is gone too."

Di Yexuan listened to these absurd rumors with a hint of helplessness on his face. He had told the little guy so many times that these rumors were false.

"Huh?? But Hua Ling is a man."

"what??"

Di Yexuan couldn't help but smile, finally realizing that those rumors were unreliable.

Mo Shan'an heard the man in the teahouse repeatedly praising her beauty as celestial, and realized he was actually a man.

Along the way, Mo Shan'an also gossiped quite a bit, about a heart-wrenching love story about unrequited love, focusing on how people of different races can stay together.

"arrive"

"Thank you, sir."

"it's okay no problem"

Di Yexuan raised an eyebrow, jumped off the carriage, hugged someone, and handed the silver to the old man.

"This is payment."

"No, no, no, that won't do."

Mo Shan'an knew that the old man had a hard life, so he advised him to take it.

"He's very rich, this is nothing to him. Please accept it, sir, otherwise he'll feel uneasy."

Mo Shan'an stuffed the silver into the old man's hand and gestured for the man to quickly carry him away.

The two quickly left the spot, and the old man couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.

"There are so many flowers here!"

Every household grows a flower that looks a bit like a peony, but it's a size bigger, and its leaves even have golden edges.

Is this flower a local specialty?

"Young master, would you like to buy a few? This flower is called Liuhua. Its golden-edged leaves glow at night, just like flowing golden light."

The boss enthusiastically recommended his flowers to them, but his eyes were fixed on Mo Shan'an.

Mo Shan'an leaned closer to smell it, and sure enough, it was the same scent he had smelled when he entered the town.

Di Yexuan picked up a flower, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "That's quite interesting."

"for you"

Mo Shan'an didn't intend to buy any. When in Rome, do as the Romans do; it's good to just go through the motions. What kind of man would it look like to hold flowers?

"Well, it actually looks pretty good."

It's just a bit strange, it seems like I haven't seen any other flowers in this town besides this variety, like roses or peach blossoms.

"It's still early. Let's find an inn to stay in and come back later when the flower festival starts tonight."

Mo Shan'an and his group found an inn, but the people there were a bit strange.

"Esteemed guests, these are our town's specialties for this month: Liuhua cakes, Liuhua tea, Liuhua sauce, and Liuhua stir-fried shredded pork."

"Um, thank you."

Mo Shan'an met the waiter's tired yet excited eyes; the dark circles under his eyes were almost demonic.

"Alright, what's so interesting about it? It's all hideous, don't scare yourself."

Di Moxiao covered the little guy's eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips as he stared at him. "The child is still young, don't scare him."

The waiter gave an awkward smile and replied with evasive eyes, "Okay, sir."

After saying that, his hands were still trembling as he left.

"By the way, he's allergic to flowers, so remove all of these and bring out something normal."

"Okay, okay, it was our oversight. I'll go and have the chef re-cook it for you right now."

The waiter hurriedly tore off the dish and turned to walk back to the kitchen.

Mo Shan'an pried off the large hand covering his mouth and looked at the other person in confusion. "When did I become allergic to flowers?"

"Now"

Di Yexuan drank the flower tea right in front of him and even commented that it was "disgusting."

Mo Shan'an was already used to the other person's occasional eccentricities. Then he looked to the other side and found that everyone in the inn was looking at them strangely.

"Why are they staring at us?"

"Maybe it's because we're better looking than them."

Di Yexuan rested his forehead on his hand, looking at the people watching them with a half-smile.

The next second, no one dared to look anymore. Only Mo Shan'an rolled his eyes speechlessly and nodded in agreement.

"I feel so too"
