Chapter 43 Flower Wreath
Chapter 43 Flower Wreath
A few days ago, on the shore of the Lake of Life, the Soul Spirit Technology was first demonstrated, and Crescent Moon successfully became Huo Yutong's Soul Spirit. Since then, Tianmeng has locked herself up and fallen asleep in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea.
As time went by, Huo Yutong and Di Qiu's relationship grew better and better.
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest lies a hidden paradise, where a boundless sea of vibrant flowers stretches to the horizon.
The setting sun bathed each petal in a warm golden glow, and a tranquil, sweet fragrance filled the air.
Di Qiu and Huo Yutong strolled among them.
"Qiu'er," Huo Yutong said softly, "seeing these flowers reminds me of my mother... she loved flowers the most. But I won't even have the chance to see flowers with her one more time."
Di Qiu stopped and remained silent for a moment.
"I... don't really understand human kinship." Di Qiu looked towards the core area of the forest, where the Lake of Life was, her home.
"But I have an adoptive father. He is dignified and strong, and he protects me in his own way."
Yutong, if you're willing, from this day forward, my father will be your father.
The Starry Sky Forest is your home. We will protect you together; you will no longer be alone.
Huo Yutong was stunned, tears silently streaming down her face. She quickly wiped them away and gave Di Qiu a bright smile.
This happiness was so profound that it filled her with gratitude and made her want to offer her most sincere wishes to them all.
She bent down, her fingertips deftly brushing across the clusters of flowers, carefully selecting the most vibrant blooms of each color, and delicately weaving the supple vines and stems together with her hands.
Soon, a beautiful wreath was created in her hands.
"Qiu'er, this is for you, my best friend."
Huo Yutong gently placed the flower wreath on Di Qiu's head. The golden wreath complemented the unique fur of the auspicious beast, creating a harmonious effect.
Di Qiu shook his head happily.
Then, Huo Yutong made many more flower wreaths, each one filled with her heartfelt sentiments.
After completing them, Huo Yutong's mind sank into that warm and vast sea of spirit.
She will use the purest spiritual power as silk and the most sincere emotions as thread to weave a unique crown for these four important partners who are both teachers and friends.
For her, Sister Tianmeng was the first turning point in her life, a sister and a friend.
The shimmering points of light that permeated the sea of spirit began to converge; they were not physical entities, yet they were more magnificent than any physical entity.
Huo Yutong carefully guided these halos containing rich spiritual essence. She did not weave them into specific flower shapes, but instead let these light threads swirl and linger, forming a dreamlike, radiant ring.
"Sister Tianmeng, this is for you!"
Huo Yutong held the "Dream Wreath" in front of the sleeping Tianmeng, waking her up.
……
The Ice Silkworm Clan is one of the weakest soul beast clans in the far north.
Tianmeng was initially just an ordinary member, living a life of aimless drifting, doing nothing but eating and sleeping.
She lived for 20,000 years, growing into a plump and soft ice silkworm, which made her a target for hunters.
During her escape, she fell into a cave, which contained endless millennia-old ice marrow.
And so she began a lazy life of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.
Time flowed silently, and her cultivation quietly accumulated, eventually reaching nearly a million years' worth of soul power.
Ironically, the Ice Silkworm Clan has almost no offensive soul skills; their only mental shock can only stun their opponents for a moment.
Even so, she still wanted to go out and see the world.
For this reason, she thought for a long time and gave herself a resounding name that belonged only to her—Tianmeng Bingcan (Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm).
However, the outside world was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
Until she met Hyotei—the man who wanted to kill her the moment they met, yet whose beauty made her instantly fall for him.
Tianmeng fell in love at first sight, but was forced to flee because of it. She hid on a piece of floating ice and drifted with the current, eventually ending up near the Star Dou Great Forest...
Then came a thousand years of imprisonment.
……
Now, she is nothing but a wisp of her soul, which she sacrificed to Huo Yutong in order to survive.
Fortunately, she succeeded.
But why... why wait until everything is beyond repair before saying these things?
Deep within the sea of the spirit, Tianmeng completely enveloped himself, as if retreating into the safest cocoon.
When she was awakened by Huo Yutong again, she opened her eyes and saw Huo Yutong's clear and trusting eyes.
In the days after I met her, she was actually... very happy.
……
"Yutong... thank you!" Tianmeng, who had just woken up, hugged her excitedly.
"I'm fine...it's all over now. I'm doing great. Come on, put this flower wreath on me. It suits my temperament perfectly!" Tianmeng said with a smile.
After Huo Yutong put the flower wreath on Tianmeng, Tianmeng spun around several times, looking quite pleased with herself.
Electrolux and Hyotei breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tenmu like this.
Huo Yutong felt a deep sense of gratitude and respect for her teacher, Electrolux, who was knowledgeable, calm, and wise.
She condensed silvery-white light threads, as warm as moonlight, and the wreaths formed from these threads were not overly decorated.
"Thank you for your guidance all this time, Professor Electrolux." Huo Yutong respectfully presented a wreath.
Electrolux gently touched the wreath. "You've put your heart into it, child. This sentiment is more precious than any jewel."
Thinking of the proud and powerful Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Huo Yutong's mind became focused.
She condensed the essence of spirit, resembling icicles and snowflakes. She meticulously "carved" them into exquisite hexagonal ice flowers, then cleverly connected them into a ring.
"Ice Emperor, I hope you like it." Huo Yutong handed over the flower wreath.
Hyotei looked at the exquisite and translucent wreath that perfectly matched her temperament, and paused for a moment, "Not bad... you have some taste." She took the wreath and put it on her head.
Finally, it's for our new partner, Crescent Moon.
After a moment of thought, Huo Yutong sketched out the shape of a tough vine and adorned the "vine" with several silver wolfsbane flower phantoms formed from spiritual energy.
"The crescent moon is a symbol of our friendship," Huo Yutong said, presenting the wreath.
Crescent Moon lowered her head, letting Raindrop place the flower wreath around her neck.
After offering her heartfelt wishes to her companions in the Sea of Spirit, Huo Yutong's consciousness returned to reality, a smile on her face.
Then she first found the Red King, who was as majestic as a small mountain, and carefully placed three large wreaths made of deep red flowers behind the ears of his three heads.
The Red King's three heads were stunned for a moment, then he snorted softly, accepting this lovely gift.
For the mysterious Demon King, Huo Yutong chose some blue-purple flowers with a shimmering luster, and wove them into an exquisite and elegant wreath.
Looking into the timid yet expectant eyes of the human girl, the Demon King gently took the flower wreath and placed it on his head.
When it was Xiong Jun's turn, Yu Tong wove the largest and sturdiest wreath, using tough vines and vibrant yellow flowers.
Looking at the tiny thing that was no bigger than his own palm, and the "miniature" flower wreath in her hand, Xiong Jun let out a low gurgling sound.
He lowered his head, allowing Huo Yutong to barely hang the wreath on one of his enormous ears.
