Lu Sheng looked at the scene in front of her and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “They are quite intelligent.”
“After being raised in the Netherworld for a thousand years, even a rock should have some intelligence.”
Chu Sihan glanced at the blooming flowers and smiled disdainfully.
The flowers shook as if they were unhappy.
Lu Sheng twirled the Red Spider Lily in his hand and glanced at the flowers from the corner of his eye. A sly glint flashed across his eyes.
She walked beside Chu Sihan and said casually, “Lord, you said that you would give me one every day. Is that true?”
“As long as you like it, a bouquet a day will do as well.”
Chu Sihan’s voice was much gentler than before.
The flowers suddenly shook violently. There were rustling sounds around them, as if they were protesting fiercely.
The color was gradually darkening.
“Then you can start sending them tomorrow.”
Lu Sheng’s eyes curved as she said, “I love red flowers the most. The redder they are, the prettier they look.”
How dare they despise her! She hadn’t even despised them yet.
She felt uncomfortable without scaring them.
Chu Sihan smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll send them to you tomorrow.”
The moment he said that, the flowers didn’t dare to move anymore. They even silently retracted their colors, turning from red to rose red.
She didn’t know if they were frightened or had given up on protesting.
Lu Sheng, who had succeeded in her scheme, smiled even more sweetly. In the eyes of the flowers, this smile was like an executioner who was about to take their lives, making them afraid.
After they had walked far away, Lu Sheng laughed and said, “Lord, I was just scaring them just now. Please don’t really pluck them for me.”
Such an intelligent little thing might hate her if she provoked them.
“And this one.”
Lu Sheng returned it and asked obediently, “Lord, can it still live?”
Chu Sihan smiled. “This is not a real flower. Don’t worry and just keep it.”
This was something he used magic power to create, thus it was something that wouldn’t wither for all of eternity.
“That’s good!”
Lu Sheng took back the flower and smiled. “If it was real, that’ll be troublesome.”
Everything had a spirit. What if, by chance, one of those Red Spider Lilies cultivated into an adult and came to avenge its friends?
“Your Highness! Your Highness is back!”
As the two of them walked forward, a few beautiful female ghosts appeared out of nowhere and suddenly swarmed towards Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan frowned slightly and said coldly, “Stop.”
When the female ghosts heard that, they immediately stopped and looked at him with hidden bitterness in their eyes. “Your Highness is so cruel. You’ve been gone for twenty years. We’ve been passing by the Water Palace every day, but we haven’t seen you. We’re so sad!”
Chu Sihan was speechless.
They sounded as if they had been together before.
“Shut up.”
Chu Sihan’s face darkened and he said coldly, “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll throw you into the River of Forgetfulness.”
The expressions of the female ghosts changed.
One of the female ghosts hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, “Don’t be angry, Your Highness. We were just excited because we haven’t seen you for too long.”
“Oh!”
A female ghost at the side suddenly exclaimed. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Sheng. “She… she… she’s a human!”
The other female ghosts also walked towards Lu Sheng.
“Hello, sisters!”
Lu Sheng smiled and waved at them.
“Your Highness, why is a human here?”
One of the female ghosts leaned towards Chu Sihan as she spoke. She wanted to hold his arm, but she was frightened by his cold gaze and retracted her hand.
