Chapter 38:Spiritual Sense (1/2)
”This way, Fellow Daoist. This is where I require your help,” Luo Mei said as she walked forward towards the bushes. She had already kept the Ox monster's body in her storage bag.
Meng Yun followed behind her unquestioningly. Alex decided to follow as well. Alex reached where they had stopped behind the bushes and was immediately surprised when he saw what it was.
Hidden behind the bushes was an array of multicolored flowers, thousands in number, all naturally arranged to look like a flower bed. The flowers were all normal looking individually but were a sight to behold when viewed altogether.
This, however, wasn't the most shocking thing to Alex. The thing he was much more surprised about was what was happening to himself.
'This feeling,' he was starting to feel a very intense pull towards one of the flowers. He recalled the time he had fought the 'Earth Snake'. He had had the same feeling that time as well.
'Same feeling… no way!' he looked at the flowers and focused,
[Spirit Cleansing Lily]
'It's the same flower.' To this day, Alex had covertly tried to find out what this flower was in the sect but had no result. Today, he saw one more and was reminded of his 'want' to have it.
He resisted his feeling and looked at Luo Mei. ”What do you want me to do, Daoist Luo?” Meng Yun's eyes shot up as she heard him talk to her using her name.
Luo Mei however didn't give it a single thought, instead, all of her focus was on the flowerbed of Spirit Cleansing Lily.
”Do you know what this is, Daoist Yu?” she asked.
Alex just simply answered, ”This? This is a flower bed of course.”
Luo Mei frowned a little, and asked once more, ” Do you know what this flower bed is?” she asked.
Alex saw her frowning face and got scared. He decided to answer properly this time, ”I don't know what the flower bed is called, but I know one of the flowers here is the Spirit Cleansing Lily.”
Hearing the name, Luo Mei's eyes got bright with excitement and hope. ”So you do know the name? Does that mean you can choose the right one?” she asked.
”The right one?” 'was she talking about finding the exact flower' he wondered.
”Yes, the right one. Don't you know that picking the wrong flower makes the entire flower bed wilt?” she asked.
”I didn't,” he simply answered.
”Can you pick the right one then?” she asked once more.
”Yes. I can pick the Spirit Cleansing Lily without making a mistake.” He said.
Hearing his answer she got even more excited. This was the first time she was showing such expressions. Normally she was very calm and collected.
