Walking down the long street, the green trees cast dense shade on this elongated summer day, with cicadas singing tirelessly by the willows along the river.

"Senior brother, do you know where Sister Yuqing went?"

After carefully inspecting the materials she had just purchased, Su Youyi carefully placed them into her Storage Ring before looking up with a smile and asking the Liang Yi beside her.

"Hmm, before Elder Zhou left, he mentioned to me that if there's something important, go look for her ten miles to the south of the city," Liang Yi nodded and pointed in the southern direction.

"City's peace, I have no idea what Sister Yuqing went there for." Su Youyi couldn't recall Yuqing mentioning having acquaintances in Fuchao City, rather...

Su Youyi suddenly thought of something and abruptly turned to look at her senior brother: "Could it be..."

"Hmm." Liang Yi also felt that there was only one possibility.

At this point, the pedestrians on the street, whether they were natives with their children or groups of Abnormal People, were actually all converging towards the central long street. Humans always enjoy bustling places, no matter which world they are in.

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles—the players were happy about joining the event, while the natives were pleased with this relaxing activity. But without exception, everyone's happiness came from within.

Among them, not only were there mortals, but there were also numerous Cultivators.

Ascend the mountain to be an immortal, descend to be amongst the people. The Cultivators of this world never advocate any path of desirelessness.

It is for this reason that the Zen sect, which advocates cutting off all emotions and desires to achieve great freedom, is forced to stay in the Desert North.

At this moment, Su Youyi's gaze caught sight of a street corner stall, and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yi followed his junior sister's line of sight and saw an old granny selling flowers at the corner.

Only, with the summer heat, more people on the street were paying attention to various cold drinks and snacks, and coupled with the less-than-ideal location of the granny's stall, very few people noticed the cart of fresh flowers.

"Senior brother, let's buy some flowers to take with us." Su Youyi turned her head and suggested, her eyes shining brightly.

"Hmm... That's a good idea." Liang Yi smiled and took the initiative to lead his junior sister towards the old granny's stall.

"Dear young man, come and have a look. These flowers were just picked today," the old granny behind the small cart was just an ordinary person, currently looking at Liang Yi and Su Youyi with a kind and benevolent face.

"Granny, your flowers are quite nice," Liang Yi only took a glance and noticed that these flowers all contained a special kind of Spiritual Energy.

This Spiritual Energy was not the kind absorbed by Cultivators, but rather the "Spiritual Energy" produced by the grower pouring their heart into it.

"What a strong fragrance of flowers..." Su Youyi took a gentle sniff and was met with a strange strong fragrance. The cart was filled with a variety of flowers, and although the scents were mixed together, they didn't seem cluttered or disorganized; instead, they harmonized subtly, creating a harmonious feeling.

"Granny, there's something special about the fragrance of these flowers, isn't there?" Su Youyi brushed back her hair and curiously looked up at the kind old woman behind the cart.

"Ha ha, in my spare time I like to tinker with the flowers and grass I grow myself; over time I blindly figured out a thing or two," the old flower seller laughed heartily, looking quite spirited and a little proud of herself.

However, the granny immediately took a admiring look at Liang Yi and Su Youyi, heaping praises:

"Young lady, you are quite beautiful. I've been selling flowers in Fuchao for many years, but I've never seen anyone as good-looking as you two."

Su Youyi smiled shyly; it was the first time she had been praised so directly, and with her senior brother, no less.

"Granny, do you have flowers here to commemorate those who have passed away?" Liang Yi looked at the various flowers on the cart, his eyes dazzled to the point he didn't know which one to choose.

With flowers of this world greatly differing from those of his past life, he truly did not know how to choose.

"Are these for a departed loved one?" The elderly grandmother pondered for a moment, her eyes moving back and forth between a type of white flower and another that was chrysanthemum yellow, ultimately fixing her gaze on the white flowers in front of Liang Yi.

"Heavy Smoke Crane Lilies, a symbol of mourning for the departed. How about these?" The old lady lifted her head to look at Liang Yi.

"Okay, please pack two bundles for us." Liang Yi lowered his head for a glance, the white blooms giving off a smoky and misty impression, their petals somewhat resembling spread wings of white cranes. The fragrance was fresh and not pungent, satisfying both him and his junior sister.

"By the way, grandmother, what are these flowers?" Liang Yi's gaze suddenly and inadvertently fell upon another type of flower next to the lilies; a memory flashed through his mind like fireworks.

This flower, he seemed to have seen it in his memories.

Su Youyi also looked over upon hearing this, only to see the flower's light blue color as clear as the sky, brilliant yet profound. The scent was very subtle, but it gave an enduring sensation.

She also didn't know why, but the flower gave her an incredibly familiar feeling.

"Young man, that flower is called Floating Orchid, and around here, it is a symbol of sincere love; it's also a specialty of Fuchao City."

The flower-selling grandmother was sharp-eyed, having instantly recognized the extraordinary relationship between Liang Yi and Su Youyi. She now explained with a chuckle.

"Please pick one for me too." Liang Yi's eyes lit up; from the first glance at the flower, he thought it unexpectedly matched his junior sister very well.

"Grandma is in a good mood today, so take this flower as a gift from me." The flower-selling grandmother's spirits were quite high today. Seeing the affection in the young couple's eyes, she was reminded of her younger self and couldn't help recalling the past.

A single flower truly wasn't worth much money; she wasn't selling flowers for the sake of making money these days.

"Haha, then thank you very much." Liang Yi smiled gratefully without refusing.

"Please take this money." Liang Yi took out several spiritual coins from the Storage Ring and handed them to the old lady. When he touched her hand, he also deliberately transmitted a sliver of Qinglian Creation vitality.

This stream of vitality would be enough to keep the old grandmother free of illness and in good health for several years.

"Goodbye, grandmother. We'll come buy from you again next time." Liang Yi and Su Youyi each held a bundle of flowers, waving goodbye to the old grandmother behind them.

The grandmother also nodded and waved with a smile, watching until the two young people disappeared around the corner.

"Youth is wonderful..." The old lady bent down to rearrange the fresh flowers on her cart, her words touched with nostalgia and her eyes filled with indescribable memories.

However, for some reason, she felt that her body, previously aching from the continuous planting of flowers, now felt much lighter.

Meanwhile, after turning the corner, Liang Yi and Su Youyi walked side by side towards the city's southern gate, both somewhat silent.

Su Youyi was looking down, not daring to glance at her senior brother, her gaze evasive.

"This Floating Orchid is for you." Liang Yi handed the separately wrapped light blue flower to his junior sister.

"Um..." Su Youyi's voice was faint as a mosquito's; she kept her head down, still staring straight at the flowers in her hand, not daring to look at her senior brother.

"Don't you remember this flower?" Liang Yi paused, then suddenly realized; they had indeed been too young at the time.

"Ah? What about this flower...?" Su Youyi lifted her head, not understanding why her senior brother would suddenly ask this. Had they seen this type of flower before?
