Liao Tingyan slept until dusk. The grievances outside, all of which had nothing to do with her. What she had to think about was the Shizu Sima Jiao who killed people like a peeling peanut shell.

He was no longer in her hammock, which made Liao Tingyan relax a lot. If only everything would be solved if she slept again.

She got up and felt the aura in her body. She was bubbling, and the salted fish was soaked in water. The current Three Saints Mountain was fluttering. Although many places were turned into ruins, there was a sense of decadence that was inexplicably revealing. It was probably the filter caused by this spiritual fog. Everything had a hazy beauty.

She didn’t see the big black snake, nor Sima Jiao, only the magical flame which had recovered its magic and was shouting, “Useless guys, those useless grandchildren in Gengchen Xianfu. They couldn’t kill Sima Jiao and missed such a great opportunity yesterday!”

Sometimes Liao Tingyan really didn’t understand the flame. He had an accident with Sima Jiao, and that the two sides had a symbiotic relationship. All of a sudden, he wanted someone to kill Sima Jiao.

The center tower had collapsed in half, Liao Tingyan walked to the gap and looked down, not daring to stand too close. With such an effort, she saw a black figure standing next to a circle of flower beds underneath, and a black snake working hard to push away the gravel that had hit the flower bed.

That was riyue, the only plants on the Three Saints Mountain. As for the Flame Red Lotus, shouldn’t it be considered a plant too? She thought of the precious red lotus she had put in the Qiankun pouch, and was curious about the riyue flowers underneath. Girls went weird when they saw this flower. She hadn’t figured out what was inside.

Sima Jiao, who was next to the flower garden, turned his head and looked at the center tower. He moved his hand, which was a gesture of ‘come”.

The man’s eyes were so powerful. Liao Tingyan wanted to pretend that she couldn’t see, so she shrank her head and turned to the stairs. She went down twenty stories of stairs and walked to the flowerbed in lavender clouds. But Sima Jiao who stood there before was gone, only the black snake was still working as a brick mover. She turned her head and looked around, a voice suddenly rang in her ear, “Why did you come here so late?”

The ghostly ancestor appeared behind her. She was so scared that she threw herself into the faint riyue flowers. She still remembered that those girls usually didn’t get close to this flower bush casually. There must be something in it. So she flashed to the side quickly – and ran into Sima Jiao’s arms.

Liao Tingyan: …This, doesn’t it look like I’m throwing myself in his arms?

She considered this question, and felt that it wasn’t a problem. Anyway, the ancestor would open the mantra truth and ask, “Woman, are you throwing yourself in my arms?” 

She could completely prove her innocence.

Sima Jiao didn’t ask. He glanced at her with an expression that said he could see that she was trying to seduce him, she could save it.

Liao Tingyan: Damn you! Use the truth spell! Use it soon! Let me tell you the truth!

“Do you know what this is?” Sima Jiao asked, looking at the flowers. 

Useless truth spell.

Liao Tingyan said, “…Riyue flowers.” Mom, I am so angry.

Sima Jiao raised his hand and stroked the flowers that gradually changed color. This flower was white with black leaves, and now the sun was setting, slowly turning into black flowers and white leaves. In Liao Tingyan’s eyes, it was like the flowers that Sima Jiao had touched, and they all turned black in an instant. 

“Do you know where this flower came from?”

Liao Tingyan said, “I don’t know.”

Sima Jiao seemed to be very fond of destroying flowers, especially the petals of flowers which had grown well. He grabbed a black petal and threw it aside, and said without any emotions, “The seeds of the riyue are very special. A bead is left in the body of the person of the Sima clan after death, this can grow a riyue flower.”

Liao Tingyan looked at this vast expanse of riyue, and there was a chill behind her. Then this… wasn’t it a graveyard? With so many riyue quiet, how many people should have died here?

Sima Jiao said, “The Sima people don’t have their bodies after death. Only one bead is left. There were many beads left in the past, but I sprinkled them all here, and these flowers grew.”

“Does it look good?”

To be honest, although it was a bit scary, it was quite romantic. Liao Tingyan nodded and frankly said, “It looks good.”

Sima Jiao said, “Then I will give you one. You can choose for yourself.” 

He pointed to the large swaying black flowers.

Liao Tingyan felt that there was a problem, but Sima Jiao kept staring at it, and urged her calmly, “Pick one.”

Liao Tingyan raised her hand and snapped a flower.

Sima Jiao said, “The most peculiar thing about riyue is that it may be used as an elixir that can get rid of any poison, or it may be used as a heavy poison with no cure. It is said that the Sima people are the bone pearl species. After the death of the wicked, the riyue that came out can be highly toxic, and a good man’s bone beads could be the elixir. But they look exactly the same, no one can tell the difference.”

“Umm.”

It sounded so good, so the elixir that could cure any poison with no cure or the poison that had no cure?

Sima Jiao said, “Seeing that you can still stand here, I guess the choice is the elixir, luckily.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Tingyan fell down.
