Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Collecting the Fortune Flowers

The morning of the next day, Xian Wu can be seen sitting in meditation near the small lake. Every so often, he will open his eyes and look towards the blue grasses growing inside the lake, to check whether there are any blooming flower.

From the abode, Sylvanna came out and walked towards Xian Wu. "Have you been waiting here from yesterday?"

"Yup." Xian Wu nodded while looking at the beauty.

"Have you gotten any blooming flower?"

"Unfortunately no. The grass does not seems to show any sign of growing any flowers." Xian Wu shook his head.

"It might be because the sun has not come out yet."

"I think so too. No matter what, I will wait until there are a blooming flower."

"You sure are patience."

"Is that a compliment? Thanks then?"

While they are talking the sun rose from the east. As soon as the sunlight reached the blue grasses inside the lake, the grasses moved by leaning a bit towards the light and started to wriggle out of the lakebed. The grasses then floated until it came out on top of the water.

Once the blue grasses comes out of the water, they started to produce buds. These buds then bloomed into blue flowers. At that moment, a space crack suddenly appeared and opened up in the sky above the mountain. After that, the blue flowers floated out of the water, and started to ascend towards the sky, towards the space crack.

"What? Is that a space door?" Sylanna exclaimed in shock. "Ah! The flower is floating towards the crack!"

Xian Wu quickly jumped and tried to pick a flower that just floated out of the water. However, something unexpected happen.

Buzz!!

"Arggh!!"

The moment Xian Wu touched the flower, he was jolted by a strong current that coursed from the flower, towards his hand electrocuting his flesh. That jolt numbed his hand for a moment, which was enough time for the flower to wriggle away from him.

"What happen?" Sylvanna was surprised when she saw Xian Wu showed a pained expression,and let go off the flower.

"That flower has some kind of consciousness. It also contains some kind of lightning energy. When I touched it, that flower released some lightning energy to numb my hand. That's why I let it go." replied Xian Wu, with a frown. A small area of charred skin can be seen on his palm, showing that what he had said was true.

Sylvanna was surprised when she saw that. She pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe we need to have some specific cultivation level to take the flower. Let me try to grab some."

She then grabbed a flower that also floated out of the water. However, she was attacked with strong current, and causing her to quickly jump away.

"It's no use. Those flowers will release even more lightning current if someone more powerful tries to take it." said Sylvanna, while waving her hand to release the numbness feeling on her hand.

Hearing that, Xian Wu felt distressed. "Is there no other way to take this flower?"

Sylvanna pondered for a bit, before suggesting, "We could use some medium to pick the floating flowers."

Xian Wu's eyes brightened. "Good idea. I have many of such thing with me."

Xian Wu took out several object out of his space ring.

"That ring of yours, it's a Top Grade Space Ring, right?" asked Sylvanna, a bit envious of Xian Wu's ring.

"This one? I think so. This is my late father's ring." replied Xian Wu.

"Late father? Is not your father still alive when we came to visit your family? Did he just..." Sylvanna did not finish her sentence.

"Have you not heard the news?"

"What news?"

"The King of Qin Kingdom rushed into the Xian Kingdom, and annihiliated my family." stated Xian Wu.

"What!? Such a thing happen?" Sylvanna was shocked when she heard the news. She has been staying in the woods for several days. This made her unaware of the happening in the outside world.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"It's fine. It's already in the past." replied Xian Wu. "Let's not talk about that. Here, take this."

Xian Wu handed to Sylvanna a whip-like rope. He on his own took a whip. Using the whip, he entwined it on a flower and pulled it to his direction. Sylvanna did the same and pulled another floating Fortune Flower.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a bird tried to snatch the flower from her. However, the moment the bird touched the flower, it was electrocuted by some lightning current. It shrilled and dropped into the water.

As the bird entered the small lake, a miracle happened. The bird manages to swam out of the water. After that, it once again snatched the flower that it failed to get previously. This time, it didn't get electrocuted. It then flashed away with the flower on it's beak.

"What!? How?" Sylvanna and Xian Wu was dumbfounded when the saw the fleeing bird.

"Could it be..."

Xian Wu then put his hand inside the water. After that, he grabbed a floating flower with the hand that got submerged inside the water. Surprisingly, he managed to hold onto it without being electrocuted.

"I got it!"

Xian Wu happily showed the flower to Sylvanna. She also looked happy when she saw that. After that, both of them used the same method to collect even more Morning Fortune Flowers.

An hour later, the two stopped to collect those flowers. There are no more Fortune Flowers in the vicinity. Other than the one that the two already collected, the rest has already flown towards the space crack. Not long later, the space crack closed up, and the sky returned to the way it was before the crack appeared.

"It's already noon. Is that the reason the crack on the sky closed up?" Xian Wu gazed at the bright sky, still wondering what was the purpose of the opening of space, and why did the flowers entered that crack?

"Xian Wu, look!"

At this time Xian Wu heard Sylvanna surprised voice from the side. As he looked at where she pointed her finger, he saw the flowers that they collected together bearing some fruit.

Those fruits grew up within a minute, and quickly become ripe. After that, it fall to the ground, while the flowers quickly dried, and turned into a golden dust. The dust then scattered in the wind, and disappeared into thin air.

"1, 2, 3... We got exactly 20 pieces of Morning Fortune Fruits." Xian Wu was delighted that they managed to get not only one or two, but twenty Morning Fortune Fruits. "So, let's just split it half-half. What do you think?"

"I don't mind."

Xian Wu was about to touch the fruit. However, he remembered when he got electrocuted by the flower. It will not electrocute me anymore, right? He first tried to touch it with his finger. There are no longer any current. He smiled, and took all of the fruit. He then handed half of it to Sylvanna.

"So, where are we going next?"

"I plan to go to my tribe after this." Sylvanna replied.

"Huh?" Xian Wu was surprised, and felt a bit stressed. "Why are you in a hurry?"

"I already told you about my situation. I need to find a way to save Queen Meng and Princess Zhu Qing as soon as possible."

"Then, can I go with you?"

"No. The Fairy Queen hate male human. You might get killed if you follow me into the tribe."

Xian Wu was depressed when he heard that. Seeing him act like that, Sylvanna smiled and comforted him. "Don't worry. I will find you after I save those two."

She then kisses him on the lips. Feeling her soft lips, Xian Wu reciprocated, while his hands was embracing her tightly. After that, he carried her into the abode.

"Ah! Xian Wu, what are you doing? We shouldn't...mmm."

Inside the abode, the spring life was spreading in the air, as Xian Wu tested the pleasure, while Sylvanna succumbed to his desire.

...

Two days later, Xian Wu was walking out of the forest in low spirit. Although Slyvanna repeatedly said that she will go find him once she was done saving the two beauties, he still couldn't help but become sad parting away with her.

"Man. I could easily seduce girls to sleep with me, but why are they always leaving me alone?" Xian Wu felt like his fate from his previous life is trying to follow him in this life. "No! Absolutely no! I won't let such a fate to repeat again. For that, I will become a strong cultivator."

After that, Xian Wu took out a fruit which have a golden-blue colors. "If the legend is true, this fruit should be able to improve my cultivation talent."

Without thinking much, Xian Wu ate the fruit, and finished eating half of it within a second. Suddenly, he felt his body heating up. He felt like his body was getting cooked.

"Arghh!!!"

He dropped to the ground in pain. He screamed in pain for a few more minutes. As he experienced the pain, he heard some people walking towards him. He panicked when he heard the sound. While in pain he hurriedly pulled out the storage ring from his finger, and threw it at the distance bush. Hopefully they didn't find it.

A moment later, two young man walked out and approached Xian Wu.

"So, he is the guy who was screaming just now."

"Look, his body is turning red. Did he experienced cultivation deviation?"

"I think he ate some poisonous fruit. Look, that fruit on his hand look peculiar."

"Golden-Blue fruit? Have you heard of such fruit?"

"I don't think so. That guy might have picked it inside the forest and ate it."

"Poor guy. Oh well, that's none of our business."

At this time, one of the man saw a bag not too far from Xian Wu. He walked and checked the bag.

"Li Kuang, look. You won't believe this."

Li Kuang hurriedly looked at the bag. Inside were nine Golden-Blue fruit, and some silver coins.

"This kid is rich. He got many silver coins. Hahaha. We are rich." Li Kuang laughed in happiness. He then took the bag. However, he opened it and threw out those Golden-Blue fruit. He didn't need such poison.

"Do we left him out here?"

"It's none of our business. He poisoned his own self. So, we will just let him be." Li Kuang then bowed at Xian Wu. "Rest in peace brother. We cannot help to cure the poison. However, don't worry. We will take care all of your money. Hahaha."

The two then left the half-dead Xian Wu.

"Bastard..."

Xian Wu wanted to curse but his consciousness faded quickly.
