Flower Servant (15)

  Several people were somewhat surprised to see him approaching. It was the first time that the ‘lone swordsman’ Ning Changfeng had walked up to them so actively.

 

Fang Qi glanced at him and answered Zhu Shuangshuang’s question. “Yes, tonight is a crucial night. There’s a 50% chance they will die. If they make it through tonight, it’s considered passing this test.”

 

Ning Changfeng asked, “Do we have to wait a whole night to know? Is waking up right after the transplant considered making it through?”

 

Fang Qi replied, “...I’ve spent so long in the Flower God’s temple, and I’ve never seen a situation like this.”

 

“...Perhaps we’ll have to wait until after tonight to be sure,” Fang Qi added. “I don’t know if you’re aware, but a sacred flower doesn’t have consciousness during the day. It gradually awakens after dark, becoming active around midnight.”

 

In this bizarre instance world, he spoke of strange biological knowledge that he knew as a high school student. “At night, our immune system will have a battle with the sacred flower, causing severe rejection.”

 

“Let’s just say it’s about whether our bodies can withstand the torment of the sacred flower’s growth.”

 

Several players fell into silence.

 

They suddenly understood the anxiety and panic in the Flower God’s temple God at this moment.

 

The pain was not just for the players who had recently undergone the sacred flower transplant.

 

Zhu Shuangshuang asked, “Does the sacred flower that was put inside the flower attendants also become active at night?”

 

Fang Qi nodded stiffly. His lips, no longer red, had an eerie shade of blue.

 

Zhu Shuangshuang couldn’t imagine what the Flower God’s temple God would become in the late night hours.

 

They all knew how the sacred flower became active in the middle of the night, but they didn’t expect that they would still be active inside living human bodies.

 

Ning Changfeng walked away with a grim expression. He approached a person in a white robe and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Brother, do you have chicken legs?”

 

“...”

 

Several players heard it.

 

They could hardly believe that these words were coming from the solitary, mysterious Ning Changfeng.

 

The person in the white robe replied coldly, “After entering the Flower God’s temple, in order to preserve the purity of the body, Flower Attendants can only drink Holy Water.”

 

Ning Changfeng stiffened slightly. “Can you make an exception?”

 

The white-robed person gave a noncommittal expression.

 

Ning Changfeng’s pupils turned vertical. “What if I threaten you?”

 

“......”

 

***

 

When Ning Changfeng came in holding two chicken legs, Ning Su was still asleep.

 

He didn’t know what Ning Su had been doing during the time he disappeared, thinking that Ning Su must be tired and exhausted now, and would need to sleep for a long time. However, as soon as he entered with the chicken legs, Ning Su’s nose twitched, and he opened his eyes, precisely looking at him.

 

Ning Changfeng: “......”

 

Because it was so sudden, he was completely unprepared, and the hand holding the chicken leg stiffened. He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

 

Ning Su looked at the two chicken legs with anticipation, blinked, and said, “I didn’t intentionally hide the snacks in the tea room back then.”

 

Ning Changfeng: “So, should I share one chicken leg with you?”

 

Ning Su looked at him suspiciously. “Even if there are chicken legs, it doesn’t mean you can break the promise. If you say you’ll let me chop off a head, then you have to let me chop it off. I won’t compromise for a chicken leg.”

 

Ning Changfeng: “......”

 

He decided not to discuss the chicken legs at all, just put them on the table, and said vaguely, “Sure.”

 

Ning Su naturally didn’t say anything either. He hadn’t eaten all day, and he was starving now. He didn’t want to think about anything else, just wanted to gnaw on the chicken legs.

 

He immediately looked out the window, didn’t see the Holy Maiden, and happily took the plate downstairs.

 

He liked eating with a lot of people.

 

Especially when the food was exceptionally delicious.

 

Ning Changfeng: “......”

 

When Ning Su came down with the chicken legs, he attracted a lot of attention.

 

They all looked at his chicken legs with strange looks.

 

All the players had changed into the Flower God’s temple’s black flower attendant attire, and when Ning Su came down, he also wore a black robe. He sat on the round small window seat, took a bite of the chicken leg, and chewed slowly.

 

He saw many people swallow saliva, understanding their expressions.

 

He enjoyed the meal even more.

 

Zhu Shuangshuang walked up to him and said, “Su Su, how are you feeling? Does it hurt?”

 

Ning Su shook his head. “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

 

Fang Qi walked up to him stiffly, looked at him in shock, and said, “You can walk around and eat right after transplanting the sacred flower?!”

 

As he spoke, he swallowed saliva.

 

Since entering the Flower God’s temple, he hadn’t eaten a bite of meat.

 

After all, he’s an eighteen-year-old with a big appetite.

 

Ning Su pulled the plate of chicken legs back, saying, “Even if you’re a kid... no, you’re old enough now. Don’t expect me to share.”

 

“...”

 

Zhu Shuangshuang mused, “So, Senior Ning went to look for chicken legs for you. Is it because he feels guilty for allowing the flower transplantation?”

 

Ning Changfeng had just come down and couldn’t help but turn around immediately.

 

Ning Su didn’t care at all; he just sat there gnawing on the chicken leg.

 

His face was still pale, like the other players, with clear blood vessels on his face, only showing signs of life when chewing on the chicken leg meat.

 

His cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel.

 

It dispelled the panic and restlessness within the Flower God’s temple.

 

In this large hall that was always extremely oppressive at night, this was the first time such a scene had occurred, strangely breaking the subdued atmosphere.

 

It was all thanks to the annoying aroma of the chicken legs.

 

Several players came over, and there was light coming in from the only window.

 

Zhu Shuangshuang said, “Fang Qi said that as night falls, the sacred flowers within the flower attendants will become more active. Su Su, be careful.”

 

Unexpectedly, Ning Su’s eyes lit up, and the hand not holding the chicken leg covered his chest. “Is it starting to grow?”

 

Fang Qi, who was very dedicated to exploring dungeons and had a strong sense of purpose, said, “While the Holy Maiden isn’t here, and the night isn’t too deep yet, let’s exchange information.”

 

“What clues have you gathered outside these days?”

 

They recounted what they knew, with an emphasis on the Dark Swamp and people’s faith, as already known by Zhu Shuangshuang and the others.

 

After digesting this information and drinking half a cup of holy water, Fang Qi began to talk about the Flower God’s temple.

 

“As you should know, when we enter the Flower God’s temple, a part of the sacred flower is implanted into our hearts. This strange flower will sprout in the heart, then follow the blood, growing within the blood vessels.”

 

He had come directly from Boss Qi’s place to the Flower God’s temple and hadn’t been to the Dark Swamp. Dai Dong had only briefly explained it to him, and he had gathered some information from the Flower Attendants from this world. After listening to Zhu Shuangshuang’s detailed explanation, he had a deeper understanding of these sacred flowers.

 

Fang Qi pulled down his shoulder to show them, “The flower vine inside my body has grown to here.”

 

They could see it clearly.
