The Journey of Flower - Chapter 126
: Heart like stagnant water
The heat waves in his Dantian getting higher, and everything in front of him seemed to cover with peachy pink. Bai Zihua concentrated his mind to dismiss all distracting thoughts. However, the room was full of Hua Qiangu’s aromas, lingering to his nose. It seemed to be wrapping around his body, enchanting and twisting. The picture of their night kiss suddenly popped out of his mind, making his blood is boiling up. He feeling hotter as if wanted to be pressed down again.
*Dantian-point two inches below the navel where one’s qi resides.
The room was in a mess, he has never lost himself, or indignant like this before. Even without cultivation, his heart is still immortal, so he didn’t it was different. But when he found himself the same as a mortal, with flesh and blood, has filthy and hideous desire,he could not help but become confused and panic.
Is this what you want ? Is this what you really want?
His brain filled with fury, almost lost the ability to think. Therefore, when Hua Qiangu opened the door and entered, without even thinking, he grabbed a teacup and smashed it hard at her direction. Hua Qiangu did not dodge, and her expression was somewhat wooden. The teacup hit on her forehead, with a dull sounds, the blood quickly ran down her cheeks along the left eye, and wound closed instantly.
Bai Zihua froze on the spot, looking at the sadness in the depths of her calm eyes. He hurts her again.
Suddenly wanted to say sorry to her, but why should he say it? Obviously the one that at wrong is her!
“I’m sorry.” This sentence was said by Hua Qiangu first. Seeing Bai Zihua because of the drug influence has become totally different from his usual self cold and indifferent, she felt somewhat dumbfounded. Her eyelashes are stained red, and the blood flowed into the eyes slightly tingling. She extended her hand and wipe it with her sleeve randomly, she felt the numbness feeling like the cold dead water has returned.
The teacup seemed to smashed all their harmonious illusion, destroyed all the chances and fantasies in her mind. She suddenly realized, between her and Bai Zihua even just a plays it’s impossible to go on.
“Let me help push the drug out.” Hua Qiangu stepped forward, but Bai Zihua took three steps back, and shouted back at her in trembling voice: “No need, scram!”
Looking at his cold and contemptuous eyes, her hands and feet turned cold. She slowly retreating, then turned around and left.
As if walking on clouds, her footsteps are slightly floating. Her eyes are empty with self-mocking laugh appeared on her face.
Hua Qiangu, he hates, he hates that why did he accept you as his disciple in the first place. Hates that you ruined his reputation. Hates that you killed so many people and caused Six Realms with no peace. Hates that you held him hostage every night to do things that made him feel humiliated. Hates that you made him lose his immortality and become what he is now. He’s been trying to suppress his hatred, now it finally erupted. Indeed, it’s really hateful.
He raised her up and painstaking teaching her. Saving her from poison and took the blame for her, and suffered from Soul-killing punishment on her behalf. In order to protect her, he has become a sinner of Changliu and the Six Realms, also lose his immortality. From being a dignified immortal to having to endure the poor treatment and bitterness of today. Hua Qiangu, what is there to complain about? He’s always been dragged down by you. For the atonement, he has never forget to shirk the responsibility of being your teacher, and what about you? All your suffering, they all self-seeking, so it serves you right. By what means has come to this point, you still want to drag him along the Six Realms to suffer with you? Can you always be succumb to self-pity and submit to your fate, waiting for others to sacrifice for you again and again?
When she returned to the hall, Zhu Ran saw her absent-minded apparent, he knew his goal has been achieved, but he didn’t know why his heart felt soften.
“Are you alright?”
“Zi, where is Zi Xun?”
“?” Zhu Ran did not know why she is asking for Zixun Qianxia all of sudden: “She has been meditated in seclusion for over half a year. I don’t know where the soul is floating now. Does the Honorable God wants to see her?”
“Yes, right now.”
Hua Qiangu suddenly felt envious of Zixun Qianxia. After all these years, she has thought it through, and restored inner peace. Ignoring the world affairs, wholeheartedly focused on making medicinal fragrance, In contrast, herself doesn’t know when to let go.
His whole body felt as if suffering from the scorching fire, Bai Zihua struggled to suppress the drug influence. He doesn’t believe just a petty spring drug he has no way to handle it.
The door reopen once again, except for Hua Qiangu no one will dare to come in. His anger grew even worse. What exactly does she want? Is it really stupid enough to think she can get himself by using such rotten trick? It is already bad enough for years of hard work have taught such evil disciple, but is she has to be that blockhead?
But what was he so afraid about to drive her away as soon as possible. Was it because of anger and disgust? Or the fact he could not restrain his self-confidence, afraid of doing something wrong?
His body trembled violently, and the flirtatious eyes continued to flash in his mind, like a curse. Touching him, biting him, and the two bodies tightly merge into one.
“Scram! Didn’t you hear me!” A hoarse voice roar again, refused to look back. He knew that he would never be able to throw another teacup over her head again.
“Zhihua?” A full of concern gentle voice sounds out.
Bai Zihua looked up fiercely, and the person in front of him was actually Zixun Qianxia. It’s like being fiercely shock, his mind suddenly cleared up. “Why are you here?”
“It was Xiao Gu who let me come to send you medicine.” There was a porcelain bottle in Zixun Qianxia’s hand. Her face was a little red. Why did Zihua get poison by Spring poison? Why is he in the Cloud Palace? It seemed like many things have happened during the days she was absent.
“ She especially asked you to come and give me medicine?” Bai Zihua’s body was filled with the dangerous air that has never been seen before. He squinted his eyes, flooded with even more anger. He deliberately emphasized the word “you”.
The evil tendencies between Zixun Qianxia’s brows is no longer there, and the mark of her fallen angel is lighter. She did not dare to look at Bai Zihua. He became much better. His temperament changed, even his eyes changed. What is it, he becomes more like a mortal? It perhaps because of the influence of the drug.
“Actually, she didn’t say anything. She only said you have been poisoned, and have me come to send medicine.” She didn’t say what kind of poison, she only gave the antidote. But I didn’t expect to rush here to see……
“Good, very good.” Bai Zihua gritted his teeth and the teacup in his hand was crushed by him.
How could he not understand Hua Qiangu’s meaning. It’s so obvious she send him two types of antidotes. A porcelain bottle and Zixun Qianxia. Good ah, very good. But unfortunately, he does not want either of them.
“NO need, go out right away!” His voice was low but dignified.
“But Zhihua….” Zixun Qianxia saw him could no longer hold it, she advanced a few steps wanted to help him.
“Get out!” Bai Zihua loudly roar and his eyes were red. One palm pushed her out far away, but he can’t suppress it anymore. A sudden gush of blood came from his mouth, and then fainted.
Zixun Qianxia, hurriedly stepped forward and sealed up his blood vessels flows, and feed him the antidote. After that she helped him to lie down on the couch. Looking around, she realized it is Xiao Gu’s room….
Hua Qiangu is standing in the courtyard. Zixun Qianxia has been inside for quite some time, and the door has never been opened. Bai Zihua, he must hate her even more now. She smiled bitterly, and slowly turned around to leave.

When she arrived at where Ni Mantian was locked up, and saw her has turned into a madness from torment torturing, losing all her sanity, laughing and crying with no reason, cursing and begging from time to time. And more often, she pretended to talk to the air as if she was having a conversation with Luo Shiyi, recalling about their past.
Hua Qiangu was watching and listening to her for a very long time. She then slowly raise her hand to dispel all kinds of maggots on her body, and renew her flesh and blood.
Because of the pain, Ni Mantian screaming, twisting and struggling.
“Hua Qiangu! What do you want to do?”
“I am tired, don’t want to play anymore.”
“Hahaha, will you finally kill me? Want to show your compassion to the world?”
“No, I will not kill you to dirty my hands. You love looking pretty all your life, I will let you die with dignity, do it yourself.”
Ni Mantian felt that she can see again, and also can stand up. The right arm, which has been cut off by Bai Zihua, has basically recovered. The long-suppressed anger and hatred have poured in, her only thought right now is to kill Hua Qiangu. But after all, she has no magic power, only like a mad dog pounced on it and fiercely bites Hua Qiangu’s left hand.
Hua Qiangu’s eyes were empty. She slightly waves her hand, and Ni Mantian flew out at once and her body slammed hard into the wall, broken ribs.
“I will let you die, not because I forgive you. You killed the person who is most important to me, I still hate you. But it’s just that everything should have the time to end. Why, suffering? To this day, don’t you feel repentant or wrong?”
“Why do I feel repentant? If I am reborn a hundred times, I still want to kill Tang Bao, that bitch!”
Hua Qiangu was silent. Everyone has different ideas and thoughts. The thing that you think it’s wrong, others may not feel the same. Perhaps the idea of wanting Ni Mantian to feel remorse, it was wrong from the very beginning.
“I won’t let Tang Bao die like that, she will come back to my side.”
“Haha, Hua Qiangu, do you think being a God, you can really turn things around? Even if you can makeTang Bao come back to life, so what? You personally killed the person she loves the most, do you think she will forgive you?”
Feeling like being splashed with cold water in the winter, Hua Qiangu’s entire body was frozen and stiff. Her legs could not help but slightly steps backward, and the voice trembled as she shook her head hard.
“No! The person Tang Bao loves the most is me! She will never hate me because of Luo Shiyi! Absolutely not!”
“What a joke! If Tang Bao kills Bai Zihua, what would you think? Would you not resent her? Can you still get along well like before?”
Hua Qiangu’s eyes are flooded with fears that has not appeared for a long time: “Since I can resurrect Tang Bao, You also will be able to revive Luo Shiyi!”
Ni Mantian looked up in despair and laughing: “Hua Qiangu, haven’t you heard it? How can someone who was killed by God possible to revive?”
Hua Qiangu’s head felt like a thunder blast in her head, and everything came crashing down. She leaned against the wall, shaking her head incredulously: “You are lying to me! Lying to me! Each of you lie to me!”
Lanyu Lanfeng deceived her to release the demon god. Qing Shui lied to her, made her believe they are best friends. Sha Qianmu lied to her, in fact he only used her as Liu Shia replacement. Zhu Ran lied to her, everything he did was to make use of her. Bai Zihua lied to her. He approaches her only wanted to disintegrate her and kill her. Even Dongfang lied to her as well. Even if he dies, everything is still in his plan.
Why is it like this? Is she really that stupid that is why everyone in the world wanted to deceive her?
Ni Mantian smirked, very satisfied to see that her purpose has been achieved. Actually, she only mentioned it casually. The world of gods has been demised for nearly a thousand year, how can it be clear. But as long as Hua Qiangu believes it. The greatest weakness of person is not being able to calm down in times of crisis and anger. When Bai Zhihua was poisoned, she was also like this. She thought that she could save Shuofeng, but ended up let the demon god reborn.
Once again, Hua Qiangu she successfully pushed to the brink of despair. This kind feeling of revenge is very delightful. Now she can die in peace.
Ni Mantian hit her head hard against the wall, the blood splashed everywhere, and her body slowly sliding down. Her eyes are still strange with sinister smiled looking at Hua Qiangu. Finally she can go meet Luo Shiyi.
“In a previous life, this life, the next life, maybe the two of us would only destined to be enemies from generation to generation, impossible to exist together.
Hua Qiangu looked at Ni Mantian slowly dying with a satisfied smile on her face.
She is free from suffering, what about herself?
