The Flower Language of the Blue Enchantress

Muyang City, the Soul-Reaping Bureau's Nineteenth Jurisdiction.

A crimson barrier enveloped the entire city, along with its mountains and rivers.

The barrier separated all of Muyang City from the outside world.

Strangely, the barrier seemed to mark the boundary between yin and yang, sun and moon.

Outside the barrier, it was high noon, and the sun shone brightly.

But the world within the barrier was pitch-black, with the moon hanging in the sky.

Outside the barrier stood several hundred people in black coats, armed and armored.

The man at their head had a sharply chiseled face, eyes and brows like lightning, well-proportioned features, and a head of short, sharp-cut hair.

Had Su Yang been there, he would have recognized the man as Gai Fengyan, whom he had met at the Northern Suburb Cemetery that day!

"Lord Sword Envoy, can only people below the sixth tier really, truly take part in this mission?"

"We're facing a Deity..."

Before entering the crimson barrier, a Sword-Bearer beside Gai Fengyan asked him the question with concern.

He was not the only one. Every Sword-Bearer there shared the same worry.

Rumor had it that the target of their mission was an awakened Ancient Gods.

And they were all merely Sword-Bearers below the sixth tier.

Even Gai Fengyan, their leader, was only at the peak of the fifth tier and had yet to join the ranks of the Demigods.

A group like theirs was going to face an awakened Ancient Gods?

Wasn't that courting death...?

Gai Fengyan remained unmoved, his piercing gaze fixed on the world within the crimson barrier.

After a long while, he spoke slowly.

"Even sixth-tier Demigods are merely mortals with a trace of divinity. Before a true Deity, these so-called Demigods are as weak as ants."

"Besides, Demigods with divinity cannot enter an Ancient Gods' divine kingdom."

"The target of our mission is not the awakened God of Fate and Reason..."

Only after hearing Gai Fengyan's explanation did the people present let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

It seemed the higher-ups in the bureau had not lost their minds after all. They weren't asking them to make an enemy of an Ancient Gods.

After Gai Fengyan finished explaining, not another sound was heard.

Silence fell over the place.

All the Sword-Bearers waited for Gai Fengyan's orders.

They waited for orders from the First Sequence holder hailed as the greatest genius in the Soul-Reaping Bureau's history!

At last, after another stretch of time had passed, the crimson barrier rippled gently.

Gai Fengyan waved to the people behind him, determination in his voice.

"Set out! Enter the God of Fate and Reason's divine kingdom!"

"Our objective is to find a pitch-black notebook capable of holding the dead!"

"Su Yang, do you remember that outing we went on?"

"I gave you a blue flower. You thought it was beautiful and even asked me what kind of flower it was."

"But I never told you. Do you know why?"

Amid the boundless night, Ren Yexue went over the experiences she and Su Yang had shared.

Su Yang listened quietly, a smile on his face.

He also wanted to know what they had been through and what stories they had shared in Ren Yexue's world.

From Ren Yexue's description, the Su Yang of that world was almost exactly like him.

He had the same excellent grades and studied just as hard. He also kept to himself and lived apart from others.

Even their inability to recognize flowers was exactly the same.

Neither the "Su Yang" Ren Yexue spoke of nor the present Su Yang had any interest in flowers.

Tulips, morning glories—he couldn't recognize any of those familiar flowers!

"I remember. I remember it perfectly. I still keep it at home."

"What was that flower called?"

Su Yang looked at Ren Yexue curiously.

"Hehe... that was a Two-Branch Blue Enchantress!"

"Its flower language is predestined fate—meeting is a kind of predestined fate, and the meeting of our hearts fills us with endless romantic feelings."

"It's my favorite flower!"

As Ren Yexue spoke of the Two-Branch Blue Enchantress, her eyes shone brilliantly, and she talked on and on as she explained the flower language of the Blue Enchantress to Su Yang.

Fate? Is the Blue Enchantress's flower language fate?

No wonder Ren Yexue had said she would use her five percent to move the ninety-five percent Fate had already decided.

Watching the girl who couldn't stop once she got started, Su Yang couldn't help feeling a few ripples in his heart.

The me Ren Yexue talked about must have liked her too, right?

Otherwise, why would he have gone on outings with her and patiently explained one math problem after another that an idiot like her couldn't understand?

And Ren Yexue was also the one who confessed to her first...

He wondered how nervous and excited she had been back then.

But what a pity...

Su Yang was not the Su Yang in her memories.

Ren Yexue gazed into the vast night, and her voice gradually grew downcast.

"It's just a pity. If only you really remembered."

She turned to look at Su Yang, and the eyes that had been sparkling moments ago had now lost much of their luster.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"They say that once a girl tells a boy the name of a flower, he'll never forget her for the rest of his life. Because whenever he sees that kind of flower, he'll think of her."

What does she mean?

What does she mean, if only I really remembered?

Su Yang raised his eyebrows. Just as he stood up, intending to ask Ren Yexue what she had meant by those words...

Ren Yexue tilted her head and gave Su Yang a gentle smile amid the night and evening breeze.

"Be good, Su Yang. It's time for you to go home. A Demigod of the Omniscience Sequence is waiting for you there."

"And... don't forget me!"

Ren Yexue's words made Su Yang's heart clench.

Impossible! How does Ren Yexue know about the Omniscience Sequence? How does she know about Demigods?

The pain in Su Yang's heart made him instinctively feel that something was about to happen!

Just as he rushed in front of Ren Yexue, she gave him a gentle push.

Su Yang's body fell off the terrace. As he fell, he could still see Ren Yexue smiling gently at him out of the corner of his eye.

That smile was pure and sweet.

"Ren Yexue, what did you mean by what you just said?!"

Su Yang sat bolt upright. He looked around and discovered, to his astonishment, that he was lying in his own bed.

There was no terrace, nor any of the food Ren Yexue had made him.

There was only the dark room and the ticking alarm clock on the desk.

Everything that had just happened was like a dream!

"Oh! Su Yang, you're awake?"

A voice sounded from behind Su Yang and reached his ears.

Who?!

Su Yang spun around and saw a man in red standing at the head of his bed.

His eyes were covered with gauze, and he wore red clothes, with a serene smile on his gaunt face.

The man's sudden appearance filled Su Yang with shock.

When did this man get behind me?!
