Chapter 308: My head is so itchy
The emerald green like a tide is spreading.
Gu Chen is at the forefront of this emerald tide with a group of scholars doing research.
This is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's divine power, capable of nurturing grass and trees on the barren land.
In the endless desert, this emerald green stretches backward, the further back, the more magnificent, like a green ocean, already a forest.
The more empty and dead the place, the more conspicuous the vitality and color.
In the desert with rolling heat waves in the distance, the Scarlet King and the Goddess of Flowers have already looked toward Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's territory, seeing the vibrant vitality existing in the sea of sand and wasteland.
The two gods continue to move forward.
Soon, scholars discover their figures.
"Grand Sage, come and take a look!" a scholar exclaims.
Gu Chen hears the sound and looks over.
The Scarlet King is a monarch who rules over a region; he carries a noble aura, shining like gold, making people subconsciously want to submit to the ground.
The Goddess of Flowers' temperament is ethereal, mysterious, and noble, as if she were a flower of an unknown species that makes people want to explore.
Even with a veil, her stunning beauty cannot be concealed.
Gu Chen is slightly surprised, then bows slightly to show respect: "I didn't know distinguished guests were coming; please forgive me for failing to welcome you."
The Scarlet King is surprised after seeing Gu Chen: "You seem to possess powerful strength... but you are not a god..."
"Interesting human." The Goddess of Flowers covers her face and laughs softly.
Her laughter is like a clear spring, like the singing of birds.
The Scarlet King speaks: "We are here to visit the Princess of Wisdom... People from afar are singing of her wisdom; I don't know if it's true or false?"
Gu Chen nods: "Naturally, it is true."
"That's good, then you lead us to visit this Princess of Wisdom." The Scarlet King nods.
"Please!"
Gu Chen leads the two gods along the emerald land all the way to the east.
Not long after, Gu Chen leads the two gods to see Buer, who is standing on high ground looking at the distant desert.
"Two distinguished guests, I failed to welcome you." Buer speaks softly.
"Princess of Wisdom, long admired."
The Scarlet King and the Goddess of Flowers nod in greeting.
The Goddess of Flowers raises her hand, and flowers bloom on the ground.
Flowers bloom one after another, and items are held up by petals from the stamens.
Those are spices, gold, and gems.
"Praise the Winged One, the monarch who rules over the ten thousand kingdoms on earth.
I am a spirit created by the Primordial, I am a flickering phantom, I am a ray of light flowing from the eyes of the Creator.
People from afar are singing of your wisdom; I wonder if you can solve the confusion that has troubled me for a long time?
These spices, gold, and gems, I want to give them to you as a thank-you gift, as a reward for solving my three riddles."
After the Goddess of Flowers speaks, the Scarlet King's expression becomes serious.
Gu Chen stands aside without speaking, like a transparent person.
Buer glances at the Goddess of Flowers, then at the Scarlet King, with the light of wisdom flowing in her eyes. She sighs imperceptibly before saying: "Please speak."
The Goddess of Flowers stares at Buer and asks: "May I ask, what is as cold as a dead object when alive, but can send warm breezes to people after it passes away?"
Buer says without hesitation:
"You are talking about the rose that passes away easily in late spring, even if full of thorns, it cannot conceal its fragrance.
The flower is picked and made into rich perfume, and the stem is cut to be the wick of an oil lamp.
How many lovers throughout the ages have been intoxicated by her, and the monarch of the red banner also admires her beauty.
But has the rose ever missed anyone? It just withers with the new moon and morning dew."
The Goddess of Flowers' eyes flicker.
The Scarlet King is thoughtful.
【Shikanoin Heizo】: Is this the wisdom of the God of Wisdom? Her words are all hinting at the Goddess of Flowers' ending! (Paimon. Shocked)
【Kaveh】: No, what does this answer mean? (Kaveh. Scratching head)
【Nilou】: A bit understood, but not completely understood. (Collei. No response)
【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: From the grass dragon Apep, we have already learned that the Goddess of Flowers is the one who passed away earliest, so this sentence 【the rose that passes away easily in late spring】 is hinting at... ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
