Chapter 812: The Lotus Duel
On the platform behind the Jin Dian, countless figures surged forward, and for a moment, the tranquility on the lake surface seemed shattered.
Li Li Qingfeng, Qin Yi, Li Li Hongli, and others stood at the very front, surrounded by the crowd like stars orbiting the moon. "Miss Qin Yi, the Jade Heart Lotus in this lake produces one Jade Heart Lotus seed every half year. This seed has a beautifying effect and is most suitable for young ladies. In the past, as soon as the Jade Heart Lotus seeds produced here emerged from the lake, they were snatched away immediately," Li Qing
feng said with a gentle smile on his handsome face, pointing toward the center of the lake.
Many girls nearby heard this and their beautiful eyes brightened slightly. Just as Li Li Qingfeng said, a girl's desire for beauty far surpasses that of men.
A hint of curiosity appeared on Qin Yi's peerlessly beautiful face, and she smiled, saying, "That truly is a fine thing."
Li Li Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Tonight happens to be the time when the most ancient Jade Heart Lotus King in the center of the lake ripens. I suppose it sensed the arrival of a peerless beauty."
In response to Li Li Qingfeng's praise, Qin Yi's eyes shifted gracefully, and she said softly, "Miss Li Hongli is incomparably radiant; the Jade Heart Lotus seed suits her best."
Li Li Hongli, standing nearby, shook her head slightly and smiled, saying, "Miss Qin Yi is a guest from afar. As the host, I naturally must yield."
As a woman, she naturally harbored some wariness toward Qin Yi deep within her heart, and Li Li Qingfeng's attentiveness also made her feel slightly displeased. However, since the other party was an important guest, she still appeared very amiable on the surface.
At this moment, Li Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "There is no need for the two of you to yield to each other. The ownership of the seeds produced by this Jade Heart Lotus King has always followed special rules. We can follow the rules as well, how about that?"
"What rules?" Qin Yi's pale blue beautiful eyes fixed on Li Li Qingfeng, her gaze seeming as clear and charming as the shimmering lake surface before her. Under such a gaze, even Li Li Qingfeng, who possessed an extraordinary bearing, could not help but straighten his back, and then he smiled, saying, "Generally speaking, whenever this Jade Heart Lotus King produces Jade Heart Lotus seeds, if multiple parties compete simultaneously,
then each side must send one person onto the lotus to fight on the lotus leaf. Only the ultimate victor can successfully pluck the seed."
"This is also known as 'Dou Qin Lian'."
"However, there is a special rule within it: those who step onto the lotus must not be too strong in their own realm and power, otherwise the collision of forces will damage the lotus leaf and thereby harm the Jade Heart Lotus."
"Generally speaking, it is best to be below the Extreme Fiend Realm."
After hearing this, Qin Yi hesitated slightly and said, "Then I do not meet the requirements."
Li Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "You do not need to participate personally; you can also designate an assistant. I believe that with so many geniuses gathered here, someone should be very willing to obtain this Jade Heart Lotus seed for Miss Qin Yi."
Qin Yi thought for a moment and smiled softly, saying, "Since the host has such refined enthusiasm, I can only respectfully accept your invitation."
At this moment, Li Li Hongli cast a charming glance and looked at someone, smiling sweetly, "Zhao Zhao Fengyang, are you willing to obtain this Jade Heart Lotus seed for me?"
The person she called out to was a youth with a tall, upright figure and a handsome face. He wore white robes and stood out quite prominently among the crowd.
This person was named Zhao Zhao Fengyang, a Flag Leader under the Purple Blood Banner commanded by Li Li Hongli. His talent was quite formidable; he possessed an Eighth-Rank Wind Attribute and had already refined a Glazed Fiend Body.
In terms of strength, within the Purple Blood Banner, only Li Li Hongli could surpass him.
Zhao Zhao Fengyang's talent and strength were actually superior to Zhong Ling's. At the very least, Zhong Ling had exhausted all efforts but ultimately failed to refine a Glazed Fiend Body, so he could only abandon this path and instead directly assault the Extreme Fiend Realm.
However, his unstable Extreme Fiend foundation, if they truly fought, would probably not necessarily be Zhao Zhao Fengyang's match.
With Zhao Zhao Fengyang's capabilities, holding the position of Flag Leader was indeed somewhat beneath him, but strangely, he was willing to stay in the Purple Blood Banner and did not wish to go anywhere else.
His intentions were clear to many; he was simply infatuated with Li Li Hongli.
At this moment, upon hearing Li Li Hongli's words, Zhao Zhao Fengyang immediately stepped forward, excitement appearing in his eyes, and said without hesitation, "Great Flag Leader, rest assured. I will definitely obtain this Jade Heart Lotus seed for you."
This was a rare opportunity to show himself, and he naturally cherished it greatly. "Li Hongli, you sent Zhao Zhao Fengyang out directly; that seems a bit too serious," Li Li Qingfeng joked.
Li Li Hongli pressed her lips and smiled, saying, "Given Miss Qin Yi's charm, are you worried that there won't be any handsome fellows with a Glazed Fiend Body willing to act for her?"
Qin Yi laughed lightly, saying, "Whether it is truly a Glazed Fiend Body or not does not matter; after all, this is just a fun event to add to the atmosphere."
Her gaze flowed, and she raised her slender jade hand. A green butterfly appeared at her fingertip, its wings fluttering gently. "This is a Spirit-Finding Butterfly, a clever little puppet. I will release it; if it lands before any friend, I will ask him to act. Of course, winning or losing is not important; everyone need not be troubled by the result." Her
voice rang out on the platform. That gentle sound was like a stream flowing through a mountain ravine, making Ling Ren Xin Jing become peaceful.
"This randomness is a bit too great, isn't it?" Li Li Qingfeng hesitated slightly.
Li Li Hongli had sent out Zhao Zhao Fengyang, while Qin Yi here would randomly select one; it was highly likely they could not match him.
However, he also understood that Qin Yi might not have much interest in that Jade Heart Lotus seed; she was merely cooperating with his event at the moment.
So he finally nodded with a smile.
Qin Yi then gently raised her hand. The lamp light shone on her fingers, appearing as transparent as glass, perfect and exquisite.
That green butterfly took flight under the gaze of all.
Many youths had burning eyes filled with expectation. They hoped the butterfly would land before them, giving them the chance to obtain the lotus seed for Qin Yi.
Perhaps they could even win a smile from the beauty and leave their shadow in her heart.
The butterfly fluttered, attracting the attention of the entire hall.
Gradually, the butterfly seemed to begin running out of strength, slowly descending. Amidst a series of regretful sounds, it flew over one head after another.
Finally, it drifted down and stopped before a person.
The gaze of the entire hall turned that way. When they saw the figure clearly, they could not help but pause, followed by a low murmur spreading out.
Because they discovered that the figure was none other than the Great Flag Leader of the Green Nether Flag, Li Luo!
Seeing this scene, Li Li Qingfeng was also slightly stunned, and then his gaze flickered.
Some people looked at Li Luo with envious eyes. This fellow's luck was simply too good. At this moment, Qin Yi's gaze also turned toward him. Her line of sight paused on Li Luo's face for a breath. A trace of imperceptible strangeness appeared in her clear lake-like beautiful eyes, and then she said softly, "Has the Spirit-Finding Butterfly chosen
a candidate? I wonder if this friend would be willing..."
However, before her voice had even finished, Li Luo, frowning slightly, looked at the butterfly hovering before him. Then, expressionless, he reached out his hand and slapped it away.
Slap!
The Spirit-Finding Butterfly was slapped away by Li Luo and then fell into the arms of a chubby man nearby, whose face was greasy.
That fat man was stunned at first. When he came to his senses, he eagerly grabbed the Spirit-Finding Butterfly in his hand and shouted loudly, "Immortal Qin, I am willing!"
However, no one paid him any attention. Everyone looked at Li Luo with bewildered expressions.
No one expected that this fellow would be so direct!
That was the favor of the Water Immortal Qin Yi! Yet, this young man did not cherish it at all and instead rudely slapped it away! Is he an idiot? Recent encoding issues are severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates. Please tap to exit reading mode. Thank you.
