Chapter 164 - 155: Mountains High and Roads Unending; Narrow Paths Blocked
Treading across the ground strewn with crimson fragments of exquisite jade, Xie Lian walked over slowly. When he saw Hua Cheng's shoulders were littered with a bit of red blossoms, he had wanted to dust them off for him but suddenly realized that gesture would be overly intimate, so he forced down the urge and tucked his arms behind his back, smiling, "I didn't know that not only can you bring forth bloody rain, you can also make flowers shower. How fun!"
Hua Cheng also walked closer towards him, easily dusting off the petals on his shoulders, also smiling, "This was just something spontaneously inspired, a trick I only just came up with today. Originally there should've been the usual blood rain, but I suddenly remembered gege was also present, and wouldn't you blame me if you were to be drenched? So I held back at the last second and transformed it to flowers instead. I'm glad you found it fun."
However, while Xie Lian wasn't drenched, Pei Ming was completely soaked. He called out while hanging in the air, "Excuse me, you two, let me down will you?"
A few silver butterflies fluttered upwards, their wings shimmering silver as they tore the net, allowing Pei Ming to finally break free, landing steadily on the ground. Xie Lian looked down and saw on the centre of Ling Wen's spine rested a silver butterfly, "San Lang, Ling Wen and the Brocade Immortal are both alright, right?"
"They're fine." Hua Cheng said, "I've only put them to sleep temporarily."
Xie Lian was amazed, "This Brocade Immortal was going berserk but you managed to subdue it so fast."
Hua Cheng raised his brows, "It was fine. For some reason it didn't seem to want to fight me."
Xie Lian hummed and said, "That's true. Before when you put it on, it didn't do anything to you either, and even showed itself."
Just then, Pei Ming walked over, "Save the talking for later, you two. Aren't you going to peel that robe off of him first?"
"Um... wouldn't that be rather inappropriate?" Xie Lian said.
Pei Ming didn't seem to think anything of it, "He's in his male form right now, so what's there to be embarrassed about?" His hands moved as he spoke, yet just as his hands reached Ling Wen's collar, it was like something jabbed at him hard, and his face dropped, yanking his arms back, his hands covered in blood, "This robe! It bites!"
