“I think the names ‘Dust Flowers’, Flower Courtesan, Flower Geisha, Flower Performer, and Flower Actor are insulting in themselves!” Richard imitated a great man standing on the city gate, announcing to the world with majesty while waving his hand: “Starting today, including the unborn Red Apricot Leader, as the Qing Emperor, I officially decree to the world that from today onwards, these five flowers are officially ennobled as the ‘Five Golden Flowers’! Enjoy the status of the royal family of the Flower Kingdom, as if I am personally present!”
The sound of explosive laughter echoed like firecrackers.
The Fifth Prince glared slantwise at Old Liu, his face looking as if he had swallowed a bitter gourd.
“Emperor Richard, I don’t know if there’s an old saying on the Continent of Juan—’Once a teacher, a lifetime as a father’! Our Flower Court’s four Great Flower Fairies are the instructors of the ‘Dust Flowers’. It’s not excessive to choose a good spouse for the ‘Dust Flowers’ as instructed by parents or matchmakers, is it?” The Jade Emperor thought, truly not an easy one to deal with, his gaze sharp and staring at this three-eyed man, retorted word by word: “Only the strongest warrior can match the ‘Dust Flowers’. In this regard, whether from the standpoint of parental status or from our Flower Court’s power, we have done nothing wrong! Forming alliances? Humph… I somewhat disagree with your statement, Qing Emperor!”
“The strongman ‘Golden Bell Cover’ from the South Sea defeated all opponents with his ability and won the title of the strongest of the Gold Element. I let him and Purple Cloud take a stroll, nurture their feelings, and it’s normal for couples to have disagreements.” Luo Fu Fairy, with plum blossoms pinned in her hair, laughed, “Did this evoke a tender feeling in you, Qing Emperor? As for the rudeness you mentioned, I think it’s just the straightforwardness of ‘Golden Bell Cover’!”
“He Huan thought His Majesty the Flower King was angry because I bumped into your imperial carriage, but it turns out it’s about this matter.” Even Purple Cloud covered her mouth to snicker.
This unfamiliar Flower King was obviously here to cause trouble, but his excuse was way too poor!
Just now, the passionate Old Liu suddenly realized he made a mistake.
On the Silk Continent, having guilds or mentors arrange marriages seems to be a normal thing.
No one would feel any resentment towards this, not even the involved parties themselves!
Even though He Huan personally might not like that ugly man, she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with arranged marriages.
The Aegean Continent is different, no matter how nosy a mentor is, they wouldn’t control a student’s marriage or love life.
If Aegean was like Silk, how could Helen and Liu Zhen be together back in the day?
Ignoring the cultural differences of the two continents brought negative effects to Old Liu’s imminent rogue tactics—the entry was wrong, how could those prepared lines even be spoken?
“Qing Emperor, if He Huan offended your imperial presence, I apologize on her behalf, and I will also make appropriate penalties for her ignorance and rudeness.” The Jade Emperor, after all, was an old hand, followed Purple Cloud’s words and showed a gesture, offering Old Liu no opportunity to make unreasonable accusations and play rogue.
Justice travels the world, and every circle has such rules, the Silk Continent is no exception.
“If Qing Emperor, you have some experts specialized in the Five Elements, and if you are willing to marry them into the Flower Court, you might as well try competing for the remaining Yang Flower and Begonia Masters. Our Flower Court does not reject the addition of young talents.” Ripple Fairy, with a daffodil in her hairpin, also spoke, and this seemingly magnanimous high stance completely blocked Old Liu’s plan to muddle through.
Having detected the unfriendly intention of the opponents, the Jade Emperor and the Four Great Flower Fairies certainly knew how to handle it.
This Flower King causing trouble had the shadow of the officialdom behind him, so the Flower Court had to first ensure their moral stance had no flaws. If the other side wanted to continue to cause trouble, they had to be wary of the reactions of other Divine Beast Associations standing together.
“Strange! Why are only Yang Flower Master and Begonia Master left? Can’t He Huan Master and Peach Blossom Master compete again? The Hero Conference is not over, do latecomers have to be disqualified?” Liu Zhenhan scoffed inwardly; if he hadn’t reserved a backup, he’d have really been caught in this group’s trap.
“Qing Emperor, our Flower Court has always been fair. If experts of the same element want to compete again for He Huan Master and Peach Blossom Master, it is not impossible, but it must be experts of the Gold and Fire Elements! Besides, I hope everyone considers carefully before going on stage to compete, whether they agree to join and pledge loyalty to the Flower Court if they win.” The Jade Emperor reiterated this prerequisite.
“As long as you said that, that’s enough!” Liu Zhenhan nodded, stepped back, and gestured with his hand.
The Tenth Prince and the Ninth Prince stood shoulder to shoulder, stepping out with great bearing.
The ‘Feather Fall Dou Qi’ soared on Ventéclair’s body like flames, quickly forming a layer of feathered green armor on the surface, with the superb ductility ‘Immortal Path Camphor’ magic core morphing into a long spear in his hand, fingers flicked, and two dancing spear blossoms emerged.
Xiao Kong wore the ‘Left Bank Fist Armor’ given by the old man, slightly channeling the Metal Element, and the pair of black-gold gloves turned into a twisted gold staff.
The Jade Emperor and the Four Great Flower Fairies didn’t expect the Qing Emperor to really send someone to compete, and were caught a bit off guard momentarily.
