Following the scent of the flowers, Su Yan cautiously made his way toward the window. The floral fragrance was indeed coming from that direction. It was very faint. It smelled like Clear Mountain Chrysanthemums.
Quickly, Su Yan followed the fragrance to the lower left corner of the window. There, he discovered a dried-up flower core on the ground. It was the size of a peanut. The color was a light purple tinged with red. Just by looking at it, it bore a slight resemblance to the Red Spider Lily cores he had seen before.
Su Yan bent down and picked up the flower core from the ground. He brought it to his nose, and immediately, a subtle fragrance washed over him. It was pleasantly refreshing. But upon a closer sniff, he could also detect a hint of Mountain-Laurel. The scent was very faint, mixed with the fragrance of the chrysanthemums, and could easily be missed if one wasn’t paying close attention.
The scent of Mountain-Laurel... The scent of An Shihua...
After detecting the scent of Mountain-Laurel, Su Yan couldn’t help but recall this. During the June Evolutionary Science Tournament, he had come into close contact with An Shihua and had detected the scent of Mountain-Laurel from her breath. Moreover, when he previously emerged from the Mirror World, he had coincidentally found himself in her home’s bathroom—a highly suspicious occurrence.
As Su Yan was lost in thought, several item notifications suddenly popped up in the depths of his mind, all related to the flower core in his hand.
[Flower God’s Core]: Contains a large amount of nerve toxins. Creatures that smell the fragrance will become insatiably lustful and experience harmful sexual hallucinations.
[Detection of Flower God’s Core]
[Do you choose to Devour it?]
[Devouring it can greatly increase HP and Spirit, and significantly enhance character ability.]
"Smelling the fragrance will make one insatiably lustful..."
"And even experience harmful sexual hallucinations..."
After reading the content of the notifications, Su Yan’s expression darkened completely.
Did they do this deliberately, knowing he had three sisters at home? The Flower God’s Core... Was this the Flower God’s doing?
Thinking of this, Su Yan silently made up his mind.
Whether it’s the Flower God or Old Shu, once I’m strong enough, I’ll kill them!
After calming down a bit, Su Yan began to feel anxious.
Although he believed he could crush them once he was strong enough, the problem was that his enemies would certainly not give him time to grow. They would undoubtedly try to nip him in the bud.
Truth be told, if he were alone, none of this would be a problem. He could find a place to hide and cultivate stealthily. Once he was powerful enough, he would settle the score, taking them down one by one with a single punch.
But the trouble was, he wasn’t an orphan; he had a happy family. He had loving parents and three adorable sisters; his family life was happy and fulfilling.
Now that he was targeted, his family would likely be implicated as well.
At these thoughts, Su Yan felt extremely frustrated, as if his head would explode.
Report the matter to the officials and ask for protection?
But the other party was the Flower God, a terrifying entity that had secretly plotted two attacks. Ordinary officials couldn’t possibly contend with such a being. Only top figures in the Education Bureau with maxed-out Creature Levels would be capable of handling it.
And as for those top figures in the Education Bureau, how could they have so much time to protect his family? He’d consider himself lucky if they didn’t just dismiss him with, "And who do you think you are?"
Besides, this was all just his speculation and hadn’t been proven.
Therefore, filing a report was currently not an option.
Very soon, Su Yan started to change his line of thought.
If the target is me, then wouldn’t my family be safe if I left Luo City? This seems feasible...
It looks like I’ll have to head to Jingdou University earlier than planned. That way, I won’t implicate my family, and I’ll also gain some measure of protection.
With this thought in mind, Su Yan immediately took out his phone and opened the FeiXin app to contact the admissions officer of Jingdou University. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N0velFire.ɴet
Su Something: Teacher He, for personal reasons, I’d like to arrive on campus and move into the dormitory early. Is that permissible?
It wasn’t long before the admissions officer from Jingdou University replied.
He Haihao: That’s no problem. If you want to arrive early, I just need to report it to the Jing University Principal, and it’ll be fine.
Su Something: Great. I might arrive at the school the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Thank you for your help in reporting this to the Jing University Principal, Teacher He.
He Haihao: It’s nothing. When you get to the school, just contact me. I’ll arrange for someone to meet you at the gate.
Su Something: Okay, thank you, Teacher He.
He Haihao: You’re welcome.
After contacting He Haihao, Su Yan tapped on Song Yuqin’s FeiXin profile picture.
Su Something: Senior Sister, there’s something I’d like to ask your help with.
Song Yuqin: You loser, finally decided to reply to your Senior Sister’s messages, huh?
Song Yuqin: Playing dumb?
Su Something: No, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Song Yuqin: Oh, so, junior brother, young as you are, you’re already trying to mess with your Senior Sister, is that it?
Song Yuqin: I’m not talking to you for ten minutes!
Wait, what? What’s going on?
Looking at the messages Song Yuqin had sent, Su Yan was utterly bewildered. He had no idea what was going on.
Forget it. If I don’t understand, I should just get straight to the point. No need to waste anyone’s time.
With that in mind, Su Yan quickly sent several messages to Song Yuqin, explaining what he needed help with.
