Chapter 735: Ling Xian in Awe

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The giant Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of light that reflected off hundreds of cultivators, making the sea of flowers looking even more lovely.

Under the Sun, each and every flower petal was welcoming the wind and dancing in the wind like a dream.

Everyone was acting as if they were drunk after they saw the dancing flower fairy. They have all lost themselves.

Even the six powerhouses from the younger generation reacted the same.

Out of everyone, only two people were conscious. The first was the original leveled cultivator, the other was Ling Xian.

He had a smile on his lips as he stared at Hua Wan Yue. “City leader, you are no longer planning on finding out more about me?”

“There is no more need. There is no difference between searching and not searching. I have no plans to fight against you anyways.” Hua Wan Yue gently smiled.

“That is for the best. Or else the entire Flower City would suffer.” Ling Xian grinned as well.

Hearing this, Hua Wan Yue was now even more unsettled. She never planned on fighting Ling Xian anyways, so she let it go.

Just then, the people who were all lost in the illusion were beginning to wake up. Their faces however, still looked drunk.

“Though this wasn’t the first time I have seen it, every time I see it, I feel drunk. It is truly unforgettable.”

“The sea of flowers is grand and charming. The flower fairy is also out of the world. This truly is the Flower Festival that can even awe an immortal.”

“So this is the sea of flowers and the fairy of flowers. Everything truly is beautiful. It is no wonder that it is nicknamed to be the most beautiful scenery in Yuezhou.”

Everyone opened their lips to talk. Other than compliments, there were only compliments.

“Alright, the Flower Festival is over. Next, it is time to choose the Goddess of Flowers.” Hua Wan Yue erased her smile and turned serious.

At her words, the entire place silenced.

Even though the news of picking a Goddess of Flowers was already out, hearing Hua Wan Yue admitting to it personally still shocked everyone.

Thousands of years ago, the Goddess of Flowers acted as a symbol for the City of Flowers. She was basically the saint of the force and her status was right below the City Leader’s. However, for some unknown reason, the City Leader at the time stripped away the title and made the rule that there shalln’t ever be another Goddess of Flowers.

Therefore, as time went on, the Goddess of Flowers was no longer a symbol that represented the City of Flowers and everyone began to forget about it. But now, Hua Wan Yue was making the statement that she was going betray the old rules and pick a new Goddess of Flowers. Why would they be shocked at this?

As much as they were shocked, they were also a little unhappy.

After all, the City Leader has already banned the title Goddess of Flowers, yet now, Hua Wan Yue was breaking this rule. Something wasn’t right there.

“City Leader, we all know that you are always thinking on the city’s behalf. But the title of Goddess of Flowers was trashed thousands of years ago and the city has been peaceful since then.”

“That’s right. We shouldn’t break the old rules. Since the title has been trashed, we shouldn’t be picking someone new.”

“That’s right. Unless you give us a convincing reason, we won’t agree to it.”

Everyone chimed in. More than half the people here were declining Hua Wan Yue’s decision.

At this, Ling Xian was now certain of his theory. He smiled. “It seems like the Goddess of Flowers have more use than being a symbol for the city. There must be a secret meaning.”

Then, he looked to Hua Wan Yue, curious as to what she was going to do given the situation.

Exceeding his expectation, though Hua Wan Yue looked gentle, when she speaks, she is powerful.

“I don’t care what you think. You can disagree, you can agree, but I am going to choose the Goddess of Flowers.”

Hua Wan Yue’s face was ice cold. The Qi belonging to an original leveled cultivator descended down and engulfed the entire place.

She slowly glanced over everyone, “The City Leader back then had her reason to strip away the Goddess of Flowers title. And today, I have my reason for reinstating that. You just need to realize that everything I do is for the benefit of the city.”

Hearing this, all the citizens frowned. They continued to speak and didn’t want her to choose a Goddess of Flowers.

This made Hua Wan Yue frown. “Who is the City Leader? You or me?”

“The decision to stop crowning a Goddess of Flowers was a decision made by that City Leader. Don’t forget, I am also a leader, why can’t I choose to start picking a Goddess of Flowers again?”

Hua Wan Yue was extremely forceful as she continued, “I don’t care if you agree or disagree – the Goddess of Flower spot will belong to a person of my choosing.”

Hearing this, everyone who objected silenced. It wasn’t that they were convinced, it was that they were too afraid to continue fighting.

They knew very well that despite Hua Wan Yue’s gentle appearance and kind demeanor, she was in reality, extremely violent. If they follow her, everything will be fine.

But if they go against her, then they might bleed for it.

Therefore, everyone silenced and didn’t dare to speak more.

At this, Ling Xian glanced at Hua Wan Yue and said in a low voice, “She broke rules using just a few sentences. It seems like she is no simple character.”

Then, he shook his head with a smile. Who of the original level is simple?

“Well, very well.”

At everyone’s silence, Hua Wan Yue’s coldness began to fade and her warm smile was making a comeback.

But he had just seen her aggressive side and he wasn’t going to be fooled by her gentleness now.

“I now announce the beginning of the crowning the Goddess of Flowers.”

Hua Wan Yue grinned. What she said made all the female cultivators’ eyes shine.

They didn’t care about the secret behind the Goddess of Flowers title, they merely cared about the title. Legend has it that all Goddesses of Flowers have been extremely beautiful. Therefore, they all wanted the title to prove their attractiveness.

However, after seeing Yu Wu Xiu, the women’s passion cooled down immediately and bitter smiles arose to their lips.

What could they do? The addition of all those women together couldn’t outcompete her.

Everyone all thought so as well. If the Goddess of Flowers was going to be crowned, then it must belong to Yu Wu Xiu.

She was far too beautiful. Just like a real goddess who descended into the mortal world, she had possessed their souls with one smile. All the women here only acted as comparisons that accented her beauty.

As the City Leader, Hua Wan Yue, herself obviously cannot be the Goddess of Flowers. Therefore, there really was no suspense regarding who would be crowned the title.

Yu Wu Xiu herself thought so as well. She smiled a faint and confident smile.

Everyone’s eyes sparkled. Even the six heroes grew weak.

“So there is no suspense.”

Hua Wan Yue smiled to herself. Then, she took a strange flower of nine different colors from her storage pouch. Then, she formed a hand seal and the flower began to emit light.

All nine colors were dazzling and blinding, making the place look like a dream.

Then, Hua Wan Yue’s hand seal changed as she summoned for this flower to choose the proper candidate for the Goddess of Flowers position.

At this, everyone was just watching the show, including Ling Xian. There really was no suspense, because out of everyone, nobody was more beautiful than Yu Wu Xiu.

However, the nine colored flower completely ignored Yu Wu Xiu and shone right above Ling Xian. This dragged everyone into dumbfoundedness.

Even himself was in awe. And the only thought in his head was..

What the f!ck!

I am 100% a man!
