Heart Stirred, Whose Fault

Ye Feng's sudden appearance startled Jing Xin and Bo Saixi.

When Bo Saixi saw Ye Feng arrive, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. However, she quickly regained her icy expression, cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Jing Xin, take this." Ye Feng flicked his finger and handed a strange flower to Bo Saixi.

The flower had no leaves and was entirely blood-red, enveloped in a blood-red mist. Strangely, it also had faint gray threads attached to it.

"The Manjusaka Flower. This is actually the legendary Manjusaka Flower." Jing Xin blurted out.

"Yes, this is the Manjusaka Flower." Ye Feng nodded.

"Legend has it that the Red Spider Lily grows between the realms of the living and the dead. Nothing can be picked from across the river, not even ghosts. How did you manage to find it?" Jingxin asked with immense curiosity.

Because the Manjusaka Flower exists between the realms of life and death, it possesses a peculiar ability: it transcends life and death. Legend has it that if one eats it, one can prolong their lifespan, even reaching the heavens.

Of course, this is just a legend.

Since ancient times, people have only known of this flower's existence, but no one has ever heard of anyone actually obtaining it. The reason is that it grows in a place neither inhabited by living beings nor by the dead. Therefore, no one has ever been able to possess it.

"Do you like it?" Ye Feng asked.

"Of course I like her." Jing Xin smiled; she was genuinely moved by Ye Feng. However, she knew that Ye Feng's affections didn't belong to her, but to the High Priest Bo Saixi. Jing Xin, intentionally supporting Ye Feng, glanced at Bo Saixi and said, "The key question is whether Your Excellency likes her or not."

Bo Saixi was startled, but her face remained expressionless. She looked at the Manjusaka Flower, turned away, and coldly left.

Why

Jing Xin sighed, watching Bo Saixi's retreating figure, feeling utterly helpless. Ye Feng's love for Bo Saixi was as deep as the sea, but Bo Saixi remained unmoved by his Ye Feng.

For over a year, Ye Feng had been sending rare and precious treasures every few days, hoping to win Bo Saixi's heart. However, Bo Saixi remained completely unmoved.

"Huh~"

Looking Jing Xin at the Manjusaka Flower in her hand, she asked, "That's strange. What's that gray line on it? Legend says that Manjusaka Flower are red, but I've never heard of Manjusaka Flower of this color."

"When I was picking it, a small accident happened. I didn't expect to encounter an ancient Nine-Headed Snake. That Nine-Headed Snake was a monstrous species, transcending life and death. In order to pick this flower, I lost some of my life essence. Coincidentally, a drop of my life essence fell on this Manjusaka Flower, causing it to mutate. That's why it has become what it is now," Ye Feng replied.

As Ye Feng finished speaking, Bo Saixi, who was walking ahead, stopped. However, she didn't turn around to look behind her, nor did she seem to intend to ask Ye Feng how serious his injuries were.

"Are you injured?"

Jing Xin looked at Ye Feng with surprise.

Ye Feng is no longer human, nor Soul Master, nor Soul Beast, but a supreme Creation God. The fact that a god could be injured shows just how powerful that Nine-Headed Snake must be.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I'm leaving now."

Ye Feng spoke casually, not mentioning his injuries. With a thought, a ripple spread through the space, and he vanished from his spot.

Jing Xin's heart was moved.

"What a devoted lover!"

Jing Xin couldn't help but fantasize that if Ye Feng didn't love her master, Bo Saixi, she would definitely agree to be with Ye Feng. Even if Ye Feng already had so many women, she wouldn't care.

"This is Manjusaka Flower!"

Jing Xin looked at the Manjusaka Flower in her hand with reluctance. According to her family's wishes, this flower was going to be thrown into the trash can.

The Manjusaka Flower is unlike any other flower. It is an immortal flower. No matter how many years it is stored, it will remain as vibrant as ever. Moreover, it is a supreme treasure for Soul Master. Legend has it that eating it can grant them immortality.

To throw away such a treasure would be a complete waste.

Jing Xin couldn't bear to throw away the Manjusaka Flower, and looked at Bo Saixi, who had stopped and was standing there in a daze. She walked to Bo Saixi's side, her eyes fixed on the flower in her hand, and asked softly, "My lady, are you really going to throw it away?"

Bo Saixi turned and looked at the red flower floating in the center of Jing Xin's palm. Especially the gray patterns on the petals. She could sense that Ye Feng wasn't lying. Those gray patterns did indeed carry Ye Feng's aura.

"Jing Xin, tell me, what's the most conspicuous spot in my room?"

Bo Saixi asked his assistant to Jing Xin.

"Ah?"

Jing Xin didn't hear Bo Saixi's words clearly and asked, "My lord, what did you just say?"

"Jing Xin, I'm asking you. What do you think is the most conspicuous place in my room?" Bo Saixi asked.

"The windowsill, of course. Whether it's dawn or night, the windowsill is always the place that catches our attention the most," Jing Xin replied.

"Find it a vase and put it on the windowsill," Bo Saixi said calmly, without a trace of emotion.

"Sir... you... you mean, keep it?" Jing Xin was stunned, looked up, and stared blankly at her master, Bo Saixi.

The flowers were a gift from Ye Feng.

If it were any other time, Bo Saixi would have thrown away everything Ye Feng had given her without hesitation. In the past year, Bo Saixi had already discarded numerous rare treasures Ye Feng had gathered without a second thought. Some were priceless, others were legendary artifacts.

Now that Bo Saixi has unexpectedly agreed to keep the Manjusaka Flower given to her by Ye Feng, doesn't that mean Bo Saixi's willing to accept Ye Feng's pursuit?

Jing Xin was stunned, wondering if Ye Feng had finally won over her family's hearts.

Placing the flowers Ye Feng gave her in the most conspicuous place in the room was enough to show that Bo Saixi had decided to accept Ye Feng's pursuit.

"In addition..."

Bo Saixi turned around and continued, "Go tell him that if he continues like this, I'll throw away this flower, and everything he gives me in the future."

After saying this, Bo Saixi turned and left, leaving Jing Xin speechless in astonishment.

After a long while, Jing Xin murmured softly, "Is the master concerned about Ye Feng?"

Bo Saixi's behavior was something that Jing Xin couldn't possibly ponder so closely.

The fact that a god could be injured speaks volumes about the intensity of the battle. Bo Saixi's words were quite clear. She was pressuring Ye Feng to prevent Ye Feng from continuing like this, and also because she feared Ye Feng might get hurt.

On the mountaintop amidst raging waves, Ye Feng coughed up a mouthful of gray blood.
