Flower Goddess

A beautiful flower stood in the center of the still-unfinished lake, surrounded by cracked, dried mud without a trace of green.

No one would believe there was nothing unusual about it.

"Huh? Is this a phantom?"

After watching for a while and finding nothing else wrong, Wang Xian reached out to pick the flower, only to discover in surprise that his hand passed straight through it.

Clearly, the flower did not truly exist.

"That's so amazing."

Cheng Yao also reached out toward the flower. But to both her and Wang Xian's surprise, her hand did not pass through it like his had. Instead, she actually touched the flower.

Wang Xian: ...

Cheng Yao: ...

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Cheng Yao held the flower in her hand and looked at Wang Xian with a baffled expression.

Wang Xian was baffled too. He tried touching the flower again, but just as before, his hand passed straight through it.

Looking at the flower, which seemed illusory to him yet truly existed in Cheng Yao's hand, Wang Xian suddenly seemed to think of something. With a hint of anticipation and unease, he said to Cheng Yao, "Yao Yao, check whether this flower has any attributes."

After Datafication, everything in the world had attributes. The premise was that you had to be able to see it, or even touch it.

Although Wang Xian could see the flower before him, he could not touch it, so he had no way of obtaining its attributes.

Cheng Yao was different. Not only could she see the flower, but she could touch it too. Unless something unexpected happened, she should be able to view its attributes.

"Wow, Uncle, it really has attributes!"

After hearing Wang Xian's words, Cheng Yao stared at the flower in her hand and indeed saw its attributes.

"What attributes?" Wang Xian immediately asked.

"Spirit Flower: A miraculous flower of heaven and earth formed from the divine soul of a fallen deity. Can be consumed."

Cheng Yao read out the attributes she saw to Wang Xian.

Hearing that, Wang Xian's mouth twitched. Just as he had guessed, this flower was the Flower God Class Change.

But wasn't this way of obtaining a Hidden Profession a little too damn ridiculous?

It had fallen from the sky!

That alone would have been fine, but this flower seemed to have been prepared specifically for Cheng Yao. No one else could even touch it. That was just too much!

"Uncle, here!"

Just as Wang Xian's thoughts began to wander, Cheng Yao held out the Flower God Class Change and offered it to him.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Xian glanced at Cheng Yao. Though he had already guessed what she meant, he still asked.

"Uncle, this flower sounds incredibly powerful just from its name. You should eat it."

Sure enough, Cheng Yao wanted to give him the Spirit Flower.

"This is a top-tier treasure. You won't regret it?" Wang Xian asked.

Cheng Yao shook her head and said seriously, "Uncle, I'm just a Xiao Bai. It would be a waste if I ate this. It's better for Uncle to eat it. You're already amazing, and you'll definitely become even more amazing after eating it. I just need to hold tight to Uncle's thigh."

"Is that really what you think?"

Wang Xian stared into Cheng Yao's eyes.

Cheng Yao did not flinch. She stared right back into his eyes and nodded heavily.

"Fine, then!"

Wang Xian answered, raised his right hand, curled his index finger slightly, and flicked Cheng Yao's smooth, round forehead with lightning speed.

"Ah!"

Cheng Yao immediately cried out in pain.

"Uncle, what are you doing? That hurt!"

Cheng Yao glared angrily at Wang Xian, rubbing the spot where his finger had flicked her forehead.

It hurt too much!

"You little brat, did you say that on purpose because you saw that Uncle couldn't touch the flower? Aren't you deliberately trying to make me angry?"

Wang Xian looked at Cheng Yao with an angry expression.

Of course, he was only pretending. Still, he found himself increasingly fond of being called "Uncle."

"No, I really wanted to give it to you."

Cheng Yao pouted, her expression turning somewhat unhappy, as though she blamed Wang Xian for not believing her.

"I'm teasing you!"

Wang Xian reached out, intending to tap Cheng Yao on the head.

But Cheng Yao was like a startled deer. She hurriedly covered her forehead, afraid that Wang Xian would flick it again.

Only after realizing that Wang Xian had merely tapped her little head rather than flicking her forehead did Cheng Yao lower her hand. She rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "Uncle, you're so annoying!"

"Stop calling me Uncle every other word. Hurry up and eat the flower. Let me see what effect it has," Wang Xian urged.

He desperately wanted to know whether this was truly the Flower God Class Change. Although he had been quite sure before, it had only been a guess.

"Mm."

Cheng Yao nodded, plucked off a petal, and slowly put it into her mouth.

But what puzzled Wang Xian was that after Cheng Yao ate the petal, nothing changed at all.

"How is it?" Wang Xian asked.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yao said, "It tastes pretty good."

Wang Xian nearly fainted. That was not what he had meant!

Still, judging by Cheng Yao's expression, nothing seemed to have changed.

So Wang Xian said, "Eat another petal."

Cheng Yao nodded and ate another one.

There was still no change.

"Eat all of it!" Wang Xian said.

"Mm."

This time, Cheng Yao did not eat it petal by petal. Instead, she opened her little mouth and stuffed the entire flower inside. After chewing a few times, she swallowed it.

The instant Cheng Yao swallowed it, enormous petals appeared out of thin air and wrapped around her entire body, transforming into a huge flower bud nearly two meters tall.

Seeing this, Wang Xian could finally be certain.

The Hidden Profession, Flower Goddess.

There was no doubt about it.

Cheng Yao had turned into a huge flower bud, and naturally Wang Xian could not leave her here alone. Though according to what had happened in his previous life, Cheng Yao should have been perfectly fine, there was always the possibility of an accident. After all, he had not been here in his previous life, had he?

After killing more than a dozen wild monsters that foolishly came looking for trouble, the flower bud Cheng Yao had become finally began to change.

Like a real flower, the giant bud slowly bloomed, and Cheng Yao's figure gradually appeared before Wang Xian's eyes.

At that moment, Wang Xian felt as though he had seen a fairy.

In an instant, his nose began to bleed.

-1

-1

-1

White numbers continuously popped up above Wang Xian's head, as though he had been poisoned.

Don't misunderstand. It was not that Wang Xian had never seen beautiful women before. It was simply that the fairy before him was somewhat improperly dressed.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

While Wang Xian was still staring blankly, the improperly dressed fairy in the center of the fully bloomed flower opened her eyes. Seeing the numbers constantly appearing above Wang Xian's head and the blood still flowing from his nose, she hurriedly ran toward him.

The moment she ran, Wang Xian's nosebleed became even worse.

"Ah!"

At that moment, the fairy finally realized something was wrong. As she ran, she discovered that there seemed to be two extra burdens in front of her chest. Looking down, she was first startled, then remembered Wang Xian's reaction and instantly let out a piercing scream.
