The driver in the front seat remained silent. After the two were seated, he gently pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the car started smoothly, slowly driving away from the hospital entrance.
The vehicle moved smoothly along the road. Zhong Hui leaned against the window, watching the street scenes rushing past outside.
He noticed that there were many pedestrians along the way dressed the same as before, all walking in the same direction, while the direction the vehicle was heading did not seem to be the way back to his residence.
Just as he was about to ask a question, Cangxing spoke up first to reassure him: "Don't worry, we didn't go the wrong way."
What is she trying to do? Zhong Hui suppressed her doubts and quietly leaned against the car window, waiting to see what would happen.
The vehicle traveled for nearly forty minutes before finally stopping at a relatively secluded yet unusually lively place.
The place is brightly lit, with all kinds of vehicles parked along the roadside, and a constant stream of people coming and going.
Some people were dressed in modern fashion, some in classical Hanfu, and there were also many unique and niche outfits, which dazzled Zhong Hui.
Cangxing pulled Zhong Hui out of the car, crossed the parking lot, and walked towards a central area where a crowd had gathered.
Ahead lay a vast, magnificent flower field stretching as far as the eye could see.
The bright moonlight poured down, gently scattering across the entire sea of flowers, making the blooming blossoms even more beautiful, charming, and exquisite.
Visitors thronged the flower field. Some leisurely stopped to admire the flowers, while others took photos. Many men and women, dressed in exquisite clothes, captured the beautiful scenery amidst the flowers.
"Our Fangyuan City is a famous flower-growing city, with flowers blooming all year round, and each month has its own special flower in full bloom." Cang Xing looked at the beautiful sea of flowers in front of him and explained softly, "Now it is July, and jasmine, snow orchid and moonflower are all in full bloom, which is the most beautiful time of year for the sea of flowers."
"I think you grew up hiding with your parents..."
She paused mid-sentence, raised her hand to lightly cover her lips, and gave an apologetic smile before quickly changing the subject, "The flowers are in full bloom now, and the night is just right—it's the perfect time to admire the moonflowers. We're young people; we shouldn't always stay cooped up at home. So I thought I'd bring you here to enjoy the flowers. What do you think? Isn't this sea of flowers beautiful?"
Cangxing turned slightly to the side, her eyebrows curved, her smile sweet and gentle, as she quietly gazed at Zhong Hui.
His eyes reflected the sea of flowers and her figure.
"It's alright," Zhong Hui said truthfully. "This scene isn't as impressive as when I was in the Thirty-Third Heaven..."
"Alright, alright, you really have defeated me." Cangxing weakly raised her hand to her forehead, interrupting his absurd statement.
"Cangxing! Zhong Hui! Come this way!"
A shout suddenly rang out in the distance.
Twilight, Fluorescent, Altai, and Qianjia stood together by a flower field.
The group, all with exquisite makeup and dressed in different styles of beautiful clothing, waved enthusiastically at the two.
"Flower viewing is more fun and lively with more people. Let's go over there." Cang Xing took Zhong Hui's hand, smiled happily, and led him towards his friend in the distance.
……
On the other side of the sea of flowers, there is a gathering place for people.
A woman dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit is kneeling properly on a carpet, with various kinds of food from her country laid out in front of her.
Standing beside her was a girl with her hair in a bun and wearing a blue cheongsam.
The girl in the cheongsam gazed at the endless expanse of moonflowers, yawned listlessly, and turned to the shrine maiden who was quietly brewing tea, complaining, "I really don't understand these people. It's just a few flowers, why don't they all stay up at night and come over to look at them? Even you came to join in the fun."
The shrine maiden lightly twirled the tea set between her fingertips, calmly brewing tea, completely ignoring her companion's complaints.
She raised her hand and offered a cup of steaming hot tea with a rich aroma, saying, "Try it, it can calm your mind and focus your spirit."
The girl in the cheongsam didn't even glance at them, casually plopped down on the carpet, and then, seemingly finding the position uncomfortable, simply lay down sprawled out, saying like a child throwing a tantrum, "No, I hate tea the most, I want soda."
"Girls who drink soda will get cavities and gain weight." The shrine maiden remained calm and elegant, unhurried, leisurely sipping her fragrant tea and gazing at the beautiful sea of flowers.
"I practice martial arts, and my weight has remained stable at 100 pounds for many years. How could I possibly be fat?"
The girl felt her stomach protesting. She picked up a piece of sashimi from the plate, took a tentative bite, and then exclaimed in disgust, "This stuff tastes weird, it's not good. Why did you bring food from your own country? I want rice!"
The priestess ignored her.
"My life is so miserable!"
Seeing that the other party ignored her, the girl in the cheongsam rolled around on the blanket, wailing pitifully, "Why did I have to be teamed up with you for this mission? Our personalities don't match, and our tastes don't align. I demand a different teammate!"
"This is an arrangement from above. If you're dissatisfied, feel free to voice your concerns."
The shrine maiden responded calmly, picked up a piece of sashimi, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and savored it slowly.
"Aren't you tired of holding yourself up like that?" the girl in the cheongsam rolled her eyes.
“What’s so tiring about it? Everyone has their own way of living,” the shrine maiden replied with a smile.
"Never mind, I can't talk to you." The girl in the cheongsam sat up, her playful demeanor fading. "Have all the others arrived?"
"Yes, everyone is in position, just waiting for the right time." The priestess looked up at the magnificent sea of flowers and the people enjoying the scenery, and sighed softly, "What a beautiful city, what a moving night view of flowers, but unfortunately... it's like a mirage, all gone in a great upheaval."
I hate people who like to pretend the most... The girl in the cheongsam continued to roll her eyes.
……
The Witch's Space: Dark and Silent.
At this moment, all the core witches of Central Continent have gathered here.
The infamous Seven Deadly Sins Witch, the Five Creator Witches, and members of the Western Meteor Council who have traveled from afar.
Everyone present was a top-tier individual with unfathomable combat power, and several of them even possessed the strength to destroy a nation.
The witches, their figures concealed in the deep darkness, all focused their gazes on the figure in the very center of the arena.
That person was none other than the Arrogant Witch, the current supreme commander of Central Continent.
At this moment, the Death Witch of the Meteor Council spoke first, her tone tinged with doubt and impatience: "Has the plan changed due to the sudden gathering of everyone?"
Kegus, the flesh-creator who was skilled in physical transformation and was one of the five creators, also chimed in with a question: "Could it be that the Supreme Being has issued a new order?"
No new instructions were given.
His arrogant voice was cold and aloof, carrying an air of superiority, like a supreme monarch looking down on all living beings, indifferently surveying the entire scene.
She said softly, "All the witches have successfully infiltrated those cities that lack a leader, and the entire army of calamity beasts is fully deployed. We await the order tomorrow to launch a full-scale attack, severely damaging or even completely annihilating those target cities!"
"Since everything is proceeding as planned, what is the point of your urgent summons of us?" a solitary witch asked coldly.
"It's just a confirmation of my authority."
As soon as the Witch of Pride finished speaking, apart from the core witches of the Seven Deadly Sins, the expressions of most of the people present changed slightly.
Arrogance ignored this and continued to declare in a deep voice: "I do not want any chaos in tomorrow's battle of attrition, where anyone disobeys orders or fails to follow commands. Therefore, I am convening this final pre-battle meeting. Fortunately, everyone is present, which shows that you all still abide by the rules."
She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping across the room, her tone indifferent yet authoritative: "That's good. Tomorrow's battle will require everyone to fulfill their duties and give their all."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire audience of witches looked gloomy and ugly, but no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal or question her in public.
This is because behind arrogance stands the supreme being at the pinnacle of witches, the Primordial Witch.
Chapter 54 Peaceful and Tranquil Life?
The next morning, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Zhong Hui spent another night meditating and cultivating diligently, and this time he was exceptionally energetic. However, staying up all night inevitably depleted his energy and spirit.
He covered his mouth as he got up, yawned lazily, pushed open the bedroom door, and strolled out of the room with relaxed steps.
"Woof~"
The little white dog, who had been curled up in the corner of the broken sofa and fast asleep, was awakened by the sound of footsteps and opened its eyes to bark.
Upon seeing the person approaching, it nimbly propped itself up, its fluffy tail wagging wildly from side to side, and rushed over on its short, thin legs, affectionately snuggling up to Zhong Hui's feet, looking exceptionally clingy and obedient.
Such adorable creatures are enough to melt the hearts of countless people.
Zhong Hui rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Don't try to charm me with those cutesy tricks! Cang Xing and I have only been away from home for a few days and you've already caused so much trouble! It's one thing to have your PDA all over the place, but you even dared to chew up the sofa and destroy the furniture! If we had come back a few days later, were you planning to tear the whole house down?"
"Woo~"
Hearing its owner's reproachful words, the little white dog immediately drooped its round head, let out a pitiful whimper, and stood listlessly in place.
The two owners were clearly unreliable; they didn't leave it a single grain of food before leaving.
With its stomach growling with hunger, it could only clumsily paw and chew on the dog food bag. Being too young, it couldn't control its strength and accidentally spilled the dry food everywhere.
As for dismantling furniture, that would be an even greater injustice.
Dogs are naturally energetic creatures, and this one was only a few months old, which is the age when it is most energetic and playful.
During the few days that its owner was away from home, no one took it out for walks and to run around. With nowhere to release its energy, it could only chew on furniture to pass the time and expend its excess energy.
Zhong Hui, naturally unaware of the little guy's inner thoughts, continued his lecture with a stern face: "Others may not know the truth and treat you like an ordinary house dog, but you can't let yourself be so degraded! You are the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, with the pure bloodline of an ancient divine beast flowing through your veins! Mere mortal dog food is not food for you at all!"
"Your world has never been this small living room! Mountains, forests, and vast rivers and seas are your hunting grounds! You should hunt thousands of demonic beasts, seek out rare treasures of heaven and earth, temper your body and transform your bloodline again and again through battles and trials, complete your ancestral return as soon as possible, and restore the supreme glory of the White Tiger clan!"
"Wang?"
The little white dog tilted its fluffy head, its heterochromatic pupils blinking repeatedly, its round eyes filled with pure bewilderment, completely unable to understand the nonsense its owner was spouting.
"Starting today, I'm giving up dog food completely."
With a wave of his hand, Zhong Hui finalized its future diet, saying, "I'll clean up all this ordinary dog food in a bit. From now on, you'll have to fend for yourself, go into the mountains and the sea, and hunt for a living!"
The originally adorable little white dog immediately understood the key information and jumped up and down in a panic, barking incessantly in a rapid protest.
It's just a puppy a few months old, how could it possibly be capable of hunting in the mountains?
"I'm really impressed by you."
A lazy, sweet female voice came from the depths of the corridor, interrupting the bizarre conversation between a person and a dog.
Cangxing, wearing loose, soft cotton pajamas with slightly messy hair, complained with a helpless expression: "Why aren't you sleeping this early in the morning? What are you doing arguing with Xiaobai in the living room? Going hunting in the mountains and seas, it's not that I look down on it, but with its small body these past few months, it would be hard to protect itself if it ran into a Teddy or Chihuahua."
"It's not a dog, it's a white tiger, an evil-eyed white tiger!" Zhong Hui corrected Cang Xing's mistake as usual.
"Alright, alright, White Tiger, a top-tier ancient divine beast, is that enough?" Cang Xing was too lazy to argue with him so early in the morning, so he casually agreed.
She crouched down and stroked the little white dog that had run anxiously to her feet. "I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again. If you dare to secretly destroy things and cause trouble again, I won't plead for you or protect you anymore."
"Wang!"
The little white dog seemed to understand the pardon, obediently wagging its tail and nodding.
"I believe that the great cause of cultivating bloodlines cannot be neglected..." Zhong Hui still wanted to continue his educational endeavors.
"Alright, alright, stop!" Cang Xing interrupted, smoothly changing the subject, "I'm going downstairs to buy breakfast, what do you want to eat?"
Zhong Hui reluctantly abandoned his lecturing intention and casually replied, "Just buy some steamed buns and soy milk."
