"Brother!"
Upon returning to the camp, Mao Ruxue and the others had been waiting for some time.
As soon as they saw Chen Changâan return, they quickly waved him over.
"Mm." Chen Changâan nodded and then turned to Mao Ruxue, asking:
"Junior Sister, how did the trial go?"
Mao Ruxue nodded:
"Brother, things went relatively well."
"The sisters and nieces suffered no casualties, and we obtained many tricolor Great Dao flowers and a good number of fifteen five-color Great Dao flowers, so the gains were quite substantial."
"Itâs just that... we werenât able to seize a seven-color altar."
"Iâm sorry, Brother."
With that, Mao Ruxue lowered her head.
The ultimate treasure within the Great Mystery realm is the seven-color Great Dao flower. Not having obtained this type of opportunity, she still felt somewhat apologetic towards Chen Changâan.
"Moo~!"
As Mao Ruxue was speaking, Little Duo, the little purple elephant by her side, also let out a couple of moos, seeming a bit downcast.
"It doesnât matter, as long as everyone is safe."
Chen Changâan shook his head and comforted Mao Ruxue.
However, while speaking, Chen Changâan couldnât help but take a couple of extra glances at Mao Ruxue.
From what he knew about Mao Ruxue, she had always been a person who was in desperate need of money and highly valued opportunities.
In this battle for the altars, as long as she was willing to leave the team and assume her Earth Bodhisattva identity, she would have absolutely been able to seize an altar.
However, she had chosen not to do that and instead stayed with the team the entire time, ensuring the safety of Tianshui Sectâs disciples.
This was somewhat surprising to Chen Changâan.
But it was just a slight surprise.
Given what he knew about Mao Ruxue, if given another chance, he suspected she would make the same choice.
This girl.
After these thoughts, Chen Changâan shook his head and returned to the camp with Mao Ruxue.
"Moo~!"
At this time, Little Duo flew over with his ears flapping and started winding around Chen Changâan, affectionately rubbing against his clothes.
However, while he was rubbing, for some reason, Little Duo suddenly seemed somewhat upset and stopped moving closer to Chen Changâanâs side, looking as if something terrifying was on Chen Changâanâs body.
"Little Duo, whatâs wrong?" Chen Changâan immediately asked, puzzled.
However, Chen Changâanâs question didnât seem to provoke any reaction from Little Duo. Instead, Mao Ruxue on the side spoke.
She casually replied:
"Brother, Little Duo is resisting the other smells on you."
Then, after speaking, it was as if Mao Ruxue only just realized something, and she suddenly asked in confusion:
"Huh? Oh, right."
"Brother, where were you? Why do you smell so good?"
"Thereâs a faint, pleasant fragrance...itâs very light, but smells so good."
"Itâs like a unique fragrance that only some special women have. Just one whiff is refreshing."
"Brother, could it be that you were looking for fragrant materials??"
After saying this, Mao Ruxue looked at Chen Changâan curiously, curiosity glowing in her eyes.
Upon hearing Mao Ruxueâs words, Chen Changâan was at a loss for words.
He hastily lifted his sleeve and took a sniff of his clothes.
Damn~!
There really was a faint pleasant fragrance.
What was he thinking!
"Uh...?"
"Junior Sister, I think... maybe?"
At the moment, all he could say was this.
"Maybe? Right?"
Upon hearing Chen Changâanâs words, Mao Ruxue was puzzled.
What did "Maybe, right?" mean?
Could you really use this phrase?
However, despite being somewhat confused, Mao Ruxue didnât think too much about it after and let it slide.
Her Brotherâs love for flowers was a well-known fact.
So, while it was odd to have a different fragrance, it wasnât entirely unexpected.
"Junior Brother, youâre here."
Upon entering the tent, Brother Zhang Xuandao and the others had already been waiting.
Seeing Chen Changâan enter, they immediately stood to greet him.
"Yes, older brothers, Iâve arrived." Chen Changâan also replied with a bow.
Afterward, everyone sat down and began to review the events that had taken place during the quest.
To sum it up, the disciples of the Tianshui Sect had all returned from the journey to Mystery Realm intact.
The only regret was the lack of five-color flowers retrieved.
It seems this generation of disciples might fall behind other sects in terms of talent.
"Brother Zhang, I have something here for you all to take a look at."
Once the topic reached this point, Chen Changâan reached into his robe and retrieved a bundle of multicolored lights.
Within the bundle of lights, dozens of colorful and strange flowers floated up and down.
On these flowers, the Daoist Qi flowed, emanating an awe-inspiring presence. It was as if just one glimpse would lead to an immediate enlightenment.
"Brother Chen, these are...? Is this...?"
Upon seeing so many Great Dao flowers, Brother Zhang Xuandao and the others were instantly shocked.
They looked at Chen Changâan, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Itâs important to note that they had spent nearly two months to find less than twenty five-color Great Dao flowers, even facing numerous dangers along the way.
But whatâs the deal with Chen Changâan now,!?
Just the bunch that he had taken out now had at least fifty or sixty, right?
This is...
