The Journey of Flower - chapter 47

Zi Xun Qian Xia threw three fragrance pouches at Hua Qian Gu, who correctly guessed what all three were: Fu Tu San Sheng, Tu Mi Xun Feng and Gui Hua Shang Lei. The spices that made up the fragrances caused feelings of pain and grief, like a hopeless love that ended in anguish. Zi Xun Qian Xia sighed with regret that Hua Qian Gu was already Bai Zi Hua’s disciple or she would accept Hua Qian Gu as her disciple.

It was Hua Qian Gu’s turn so she withdrew a fragrance pouch from her sleeve and threw it to Zi Xun Qian Xia. Hua Qian Gu said this was a new fragrance she created so it did not have a name yet. She decided to call the fragrance An Ying Liu Guang. The spices in the fragrance caused healing and happiness. Zi Xun Qian Xia was startled, realizing that Hua Qian Gu’s ability was better because she could not create such a complicated fragrance. Zi Xun Qian Xia began to list the spices one by one, but she stumbled and could not name the last two ingredients.

Hua Qian Gu blinked and could not contain her joy.

“Jiejie is very good, you know which spices have been used. As for the two ingredients you can’t identify, one is the scent from my sleeve and the other is the scent from Teacher’s pillow. You’ve never smelled these, no wonder you don’t know.”

Hua Qian Gu felt a little guilty, she cheated this time but if she did not, she could not beat Zi Xun Qian Xia. Protecting the Fu Xi Zither was the most important thing.

Zi Xun Qian Xia staggered back two steps, almost falling from the sky.

Yes, yes, no wonder she thought it was familiar but also foreign. These were the scents of Bai Zi Hua and Hua Qian Gu. She calculated a millions times, thought carefully, yet ignored the scents from their bodies?

“The scent from your Teacher’s pillow…… your Teacher?”

“Yes, I made the fragrance pouch then hid it under Teacher’s pillow, waiting a long time before I took it out.” Hua Qian Gu smiled proudly, she researched in the seven books about spices for a long time, then deliberately made a fragrance pouch that absorbed Teacher’s scent to carry with her. That way, Teacher would always be with her.

Zi Xun Qian Xia stared at the fragrance pouch in a daze, gripping it tightly. Zi Hua’s scent…… Zi Hua…..

“Qian Gu, that’s right, I’ll call you Qian Gu, I…… I want to trade something for your fragrance pouch, can I? You can have anything you want! How about the “Diao Xiang Mi Lu” manual? Oh no, your ability is excellent, you don’t need that. How about a sword manual or centuries of my internal energy? If not, oh right, doesn’t everyone want the holy instruments? I have the Fu Chen Pearl, I haven’t unsealed it because I’ve just got it, can I use the Fu Chen Pearl to trade with your fragrance pouch?”

Zi Xun Qian Xia suddenly rambled on incoherently, everyone was dizzy.

Yun Yi and Ci Yu immediately flew up to her, afraid she would do something reckless. Although she won the Fu Chen Pearl on her own, she must not give it away, that would make them bringing the entire army of monsters and demons here useless.

“Immortal Zi Xun, are you crazy?”

Zi Xun Qian Xia turned around, her face cold, raising a hand, thunder flashed across the sky, Yun Yi’s group was struck back a few meters.

“Get lost! I’ll kill whoever dares to stop me!”

Hua Qian Gu saw the mark between her brows turning from black to blood red, she could not help but shivered. Although she recognized early on that Zi Xun Qian Xia loved Teacher, she did not know the obsession was so deep that she wanted to trade away a holy instrument, just so she could get a fragrance pouch with Teacher‘s scent.

For some reason, she felt pain in her heart, empathizing with the fallen immortal.

“I’ll give it to you if you like it, you don’t have exchange a holy instrument for it.”

“Qian Gu!” Luo Shi Yi’s group called up to her, afraid she was acting emotionally.

“Thank you……” Zi Xun Qian Xia was ecstatic, smiling at her, this was the first time Hua Qian Gu saw her sad face look lively and luminous.

“But I’ll keep my promise, you take this holy instrument. If not, I can’t accept the fragrance pouch.”

Zi Xun Qian Xia raised her hand, retrieving an exquisitely radiant pearl from her internal coffer and threw it at her. Hua Qian Gu carefully caught it, so excited she could not speak. Everyone in the hall could not help but cheered.

“What do we do now?” Yun Yi whispered to Chun Qiu Bu Bai.

Chun Qiu Bu Bai sneered: “Who cares, let the brat hold onto it, we’ll take back all the holy instruments soon enough.”
