865 The Effervescent Rimed Orchid (1/2)

”Treasure?”

Yun Yang's gaze turned dangerous immediately.

”I beg your pardon?”

”Bro… Brother… I'll speak – I'll speak…”

The fatty felt dead inside.

”It's like this… I was out and somehow, was identified that I had an Effervescent Rimed Orchid in my possession… Since then, I have been hounded by that shameless bunch, so I ran and ran. It's absurd, absolute injustice…”

He looked up at Yun Yang with tears hanging on his face.

”I really thought that you were one of those scoundrels earlier… I didn't ambush you on purpose. You must believe me.”

Yun Yang made no response to the clarification and asked slowly, ”The Effervescent Rimed Orchid? Where is it? Show it to me to prove that you're not lying, then I'll decide if I want to believe you.”

”Brother, you must believe me. Absolutely. I've asked someone to send that Rimed Orchid home,” the fatty blinked and answered softly.

”Sent it home?”

”Yes – yes, yes, I've sent it back!”

The fatty nodded like a chicken pecking at grains of rice.

Yun Yang hummed and replied, ”So if I found another Rimed Orchid, that's my providence – at least, it's not yours, right? Since you've sent yours back.”

”Huh – this, yes, that is correct. That's exactly so. It's only fair and reasonable, logically justified,” the fatty agreed.

Yun Yang smiled and turned away, speaking casually, ”Since it has been a misunderstanding, we've cleared it all here. Let's not meet again in the martial world.”

The fatty was stunned for a moment before he picked himself up from the ground as if awakened from a dream and watched Yun Yang's retreating back. He was still a little dazed. Had he just survived this encounter? He had predicted that the handsome, fair-skinned man would threaten him and it would have been expected if he wrested his clothes away to conduct a search. Yet, how could this fine man be so kind?

Immediately after that, the fatty spotted that Yun Yang was heading towards the rock that had the engraved tortoise. A shock coursed through the fatty; he scurried after him.

”Big – big brother, bro, slow down… Don't trip yourself…”

As he walked, his hand went into his pants and yanked the musty, drenched underwear off before tossing it away. His pace then switched into a jog. It was worthy to note that the cool breeze that greeted him was rather enjoyable.

When the rotund man caught up to him, Yun Yang was already lifting the rock up. The latter stuck his arm in and right away, he retrieved a box made of white jade. Without any hesitation, Yun Yang opened the box and saw a beautifully bloomed orchid lying quietly inside; its leaves and stem were healthy, its petals were crystalline and glossy, radiantly glowing with exquisite beauty.

As Yun Yang stared at it, the Rimed Orchid seemed to change, as he saw a momentous picturesque scenery, followed by rich lush trees before a looming waterfall and a river that flowed between majestic mountains, as well as a starry night sky with a full moon greeted his sight…

It was only a small orchid, but it possessed an ever-changing hue and tone. It was incredibly magical.
