Chapter 145.145 The Mysterious Person in the Star Bone Pillar
Ye Lixing’s handsome face stiffened slightly, and he respectfully lowered his head. “I dare not.”
“It’s just that the blooming of the Star Bone Glaze is extremely difficult to observe. With outsiders present, I fear he might affect us.” The Archbishop sent them both because only his and the Saintess’s spirit artifacts had the chance to witness the moment the Star Bone Glaze bloomed.
This should have been his private time with the Saintess.
Cha Nai Xue indifferently glanced at Ye Lixing, not bothering with his nonsense. She already felt the Heartwing Slave Seal on her abdomen heating up; it was Xia Feng warning her not to let him out.
She pursed her red lips, her slender legs beneath her skirt pressed tightly together. Holding her burning abdomen, she calmly said, “Flower Host, please open the window.”
Flower Host, who had followed them in, smiled slightly and placed his palm on the center of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Faint green circular ripples spread across the glass from his palm, and the floor-to-ceiling window slid open like two sliding doors.
Outside, on the giant stone pillar, flowers exuded a faint fragrance that wafted towards them. Xia Feng, who had been observing silently, his eyes lit up. He sensed it – 50 milliliters of golden liquid were shimmering right before his eyes!
Flower Host bowed with a smile. “We have not yet mastered the cultivation method for Star Bone Glaze, so to avoid damaging the original cultivation environment, Saintess, you can only pluck one from the Star Bone Pillar.
I must also remind you that when the Star Bone Glaze blooms, it releases starlight that lasts for only a thousandth of a microsecond, completely imperceptible to the naked eye. Therefore, please observe carefully. This spiritual flower blooms only once every 20 years, and you two adults have only this one chance today.”
Cha Nai Xue nodded and directly rose to walk to the edge of the second floor. Stepping forward slightly, she entered the small Boundless Realm surrounding the Star Bone Pillar.
Upon entering the Boundless Realm, her spirit artifact and spirit pressure, suppressed by the Spirit Forbidden Domain, were restored.
Seeing this, Ye Lixing quickly followed.
The atmosphere in the room quieted.
Everyone focused their gaze on the Star Bone Pillar outside, waiting for the flower to bloom.
Xia Feng’s gaze also turned somewhat curious towards the giant pillar outside. In his senses, the green flower containing the Holy Solution faintly shimmered with fine golden light.
It looked like a morning star obscured by clouds on the horizon, growing brighter.
“Could the Star Bone Glaze these people are looking for be… this one?”
Xia Feng’s heart rejoiced. If so, the next steps would be simple.
As long as Cha Nai Xue obtained the Star Bone Glaze, it would be done. After all, what belonged to Cha Nai Xue was his, and what belonged to him was still his.
As time passed.
Flower Host softly said, “Both of you, concentrate and prepare. There are 5 seconds left.”
Everyone counted down in their hearts, but after a long while, the winding green glazed flower cluster on the Star Bone Pillar swayed. Everything was quiet, with no particular reaction.
“How is it, both of you? Did you see which one it is?” the transgender host asked with doubt.
Cha Nai Xue’s delicate brows furrowed, and she helplessly shook her head. “In my Nirva Eyes, six flowers showed a starlight reaction.”
She pointed out the locations of the six flowers.
“I saw two!” Ye Lixing exclaimed with joy, pointing to the two adjacent green flowers in the lower right corner. “These are precisely two of the six you mentioned, Saintess, so the Star Bone Glaze must be between these two. A fifty-fifty chance! The opportunity is great!”
Xia Feng, who had been silently standing by, looked at the two flowers Ye Lixing indicated and couldn’t help but press his forehead.
Good heavens, can you guys be any worse? Xia Feng worried for the Black Moon Holy See. The true Star Bone Glaze was the smallest one in the upper left corner, its contained starlight almost blinding Xia Feng.
It was very far from the two flowers Ye Lixing mentioned.
Upon hearing Ye Lixing’s words, Cha Nai Xue’s furrowed brows did not relax.
According to the intelligence she received from the Archbishop, she roughly understood. The reason for six starlight reactions was that six Green Bone Glaze flowers had the chance to bloom, but only one succeeded.
Cha Nai Xue could precisely locate the six points of starlight but could not determine which was the true bloom and not just a fleeting flash.
Thus, Ye Lixing’s spirit artifact was still needed for further screening.
As for the fifty-fifty chance, that probability was premised on Ye Lixing’s spirit artifact being accurate enough.
“Saintess, which one shall we choose?”
After a moment of thought, Cha Nai Xue no longer hesitated and nodded. “The one on the right.” It was already a matter of luck, so there was no need to dwell on it too much.
Ye Lixing nodded and walked towards the Star Bone Pillar.
“Stop, wait a moment.” Xia Feng couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly spoke out. “It’s not those two.”
Cha Nai Xue looked at him with confusion.
Ye Lixing frowned and glanced at Xia Feng, ignoring him. He turned and walked directly to the Star Bone Pillar, reaching out his hand.
But he heard Cha Nai Xue’s clear shout from behind: “Stop!”
“?” Ye Lixing turned back in confusion.
“It’s not those two. Come back first.”
“?” Ye Lixing’s eye twitched slightly, feeling somewhat speechless. “Saintess, this male entertainer just wants to show off in front of you. Do you really believe what he says?”
“Shut up!” Cha Nai Xue shot Ye Lixing a cold glance.
Ye Lixing’s expression turned displeased, and he secretly clenched his fist. However, he still stepped back a few paces as instructed. Staying near the Star Bone Pillar for too long could cause hallucinations, making it unwise to linger.
Cha Nai Xue turned to look at Xia Feng, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation. “Which one is it?”
!
“…” Xia Feng was somewhat surprised. He had prepared a set of veiled threats to persuade Cha Nai Xue, but he didn’t expect this woman to trust him completely this time.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of doubt.
Seeing Xia Feng looking at her in surprise, Cha Nai Xue pursed her lips, her gaze involuntarily flickering.
After so many experiences of being proven wrong, she had now understood a fundamental truth: never doubt Little Feng’s decisions! Little Feng is always right!
Her principle of acting based on probability no longer applied to Xia Feng.
Of course, the more significant reason was that she knew the mysterious Peach Organization was behind Xia Feng. Who knew what bizarre methods the Peach Organization had given Xia Feng?
Seeing this, Xia Feng wasted no more words and pointed to the upper left corner. “That smallest one, with only four petals, is the Star Bone Glaze.”
Honestly, he wasn’t entirely sure if it was truly the Star Bone Glaze. After all, he could only sense the flower, and there was no name on it to self-identify.
But it didn’t matter; the priority was to get the Holy Solution!
Thinking this, he signaled with his eyes for Cha Nai Xue to pluck it herself.
Cha Nai Xue nodded and quickly walked to the front of the Star Bone Pillar.
Seeing her move without any hesitation, Ye Lixing’s eyes widened. “Saintess! Are you crazy?!”
But Cha Nai Xue completely ignored his shouts. She stepped forward to the giant pillar in the sky and carefully plucked the flower.
The Saintess has become so irrational! Ye Lixing’s heart burned with anger, and he looked at Xia Feng with cold eyes. “Kid, the Saintess will likely face severe reprimand and reflection when she returns, and all of this is because of you.”
“Oh.”
“You—”
The handsome knight babbled incessantly in Xia Feng’s ear. Xia Feng ignored him, his gaze intently focused on the green flower in Cha Nai Xue’s hand.
He clearly felt that a full 50 milliliters of golden liquid were flowing within the flower stem!
As soon as Cha Nai Xue plucked the flower, her movements paused.
With the flower no longer blocking it, a barely perceptible crack appeared on the stone pillar within her sight. Through the crack, she vaguely saw—
There was someone inside the stone pillar!
It was a middle-aged man, suspended in front of a spherical azure light cluster, holding a USB drive-shaped object and forcefully pressing it into the light cluster, his eyes red.
Cha Nai Xue recognized the man.
It was Xia Feng’s adoptive father, Uncle Wei!
