Chapter 63: Nine-Petal Lotus Transformation (1/2)
”You aren't joking, are you?” asked Rong Hua, still in disbelief.
”I'm not joking,” replied Snowy with a serious tone, ”You can't be blamed for your ignorance. The Nine-Petal Lotus is rare even in Heaven Plane, and most people only ever see the mature one. That's why Nine-Petal Lotus is called fate-changing treasure, and a lot of people misunderstand what it really means due to its magnificent medicinal properties.”
Rong Hua made a big gulp once again and thanked the heaven for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if she was an Immortal King who could live until 10,000 years, the benefit she would get from the lotus was still very precious for her.
With only 500 years, she already three times more capable of controlling space than her old self. If she could get another 200 years' worth of experience, she might get a breakthrough to half-completion of Spatial Dao.
This was an unprecedented accomplishment for someone who was born on the Mortal Plane. Rong Hua could be considered a genius among geniuses if she really achieved it.
”Fate is truly fickle…” mumbled Feng Xue to herself.
Not long ago, she was really devastated by her father's accident, yet now, it seemed like a blessing in disguise; she couldn't help but think if what was happening to them was actually predetermined. Somehow, she wondered if they had been in someone else's palm the entire time. However, this thought didn't lessen the happiness she currently felt.
First, she had met with the old man, a reclusive supreme being, and had been given a heaven-defying creation.
Then, the Nine-Petal Lotus that she initially thought of only as an ingredient medicine actually a treasure beyond her imagination.
And finally, the most important thing was that she had successfully progressed in her relationship with Snowy.
She couldn't wait to return home and boast in front of her mother and then thanked her. She knew that without her mother's intervention, their relationship wouldn't advance this quickly as the two of them were relatively clueless about the matter of the heart.
Thinking of the intimate action between Snowy and her, she was very surprised by her capability to make Snowy scream and moan in pleasure even though she didn't have any experience beforehand.
Feng Xue could still feel the warmness and wetness of Snowy's sacred place in her finger. She unknowingly wore a silly grin on her face but immediately stopped and blushed after being aware that her behavior was unbecoming of a lady.
A tinge of redness also appeared on Snowy's expressionless face when she saw Feng Xue's face flustered as their gaze meet each other.
Snowy didn't know what Feng Xue was thinking about, but she could guess it must be something naughty and indecent as she several times caught Feng Xue sneaking a peek at her body and then smiled like silly. Snowy couldn't help but be embarrassed too.
Feng Xue looked at the embarrassed Snowy and gripped her hand tight while smiling at her. She always became more assertive every time she saw Snowy being shy or flustered.
Although Snowy was getting increasingly embarrassed, she didn't reject or refuse Feng Xue's hand and only looked down timidly.
The pinkish mood continued for a while before a voice interrupted Snowy and Feng Xue's moment.
”Look, the Nine-Petal Lotus is entering its final stage before blooming!”
Rong Hua pointed at the blackened lotus in the middle of the lake, absorbing moonlight like crazy. A halo formed around it like a marking line giving an impression that nothing inside can ever cross the boundary and escape beyond it, including light.
