Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Currently, the Sun was hanging high in the sky. The entire square was dead silent.

Everyone was stunned. As they stared at the young man who was circled in nine colored light; their brains were blank.

The godly flower had chosen a man?

What was that about?!

Everyone had looks of awe. Though the godly flower hasn’t appeared in thousands of year, it has historically chosen charming and beautiful women. Something like this has never happened before!

Even the City Leader, Hua Wan Yue, an original leveled cultivator, was staying where she stood out of shock. She couldn’t think of a reason why.

Ling Xian himself couldn’t understand either.

Though he didn’t know much about the godly flower, he has heard very clearly that day in the restaurant, that the flower has always chosen a woman as the Goddess of Flower. There’s never been a man before.

And he was also 100% certain that he was purely a man!

Ling Xian was speechless. Feeling the light that was surrounding him, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Though ever since he began his cultivation journey, he has always been breaking boundaries and refreshing everyone’s worldview – However, he really didn’t want to break this rule.

“I... mister, are you a woman in men’s clothing?” Hua Wan Yue found her voice and thought of a theory that somewhat made sense to her.

What the f!ck!

I am a real man!

Ling Xian wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. He shrugged. “Leader Hua, do I look like I am?”

“I...”

Hua Wan Yue hesitated, “No you don’t.”

Though Ling Xian was skinny and was very smooth in complexion, the manliness he had could not be concealed. Plus, she was an original leveled cultivator and saw how ferocious and masculine his spiritual energy was.

Therefore, she was certain that Ling Xian wasn’t pretending to be a man. He was a man who could not be more manly.

Everyone else there was also certain of that, which was why they were even more shocked and couldn’t understand why the godly flower gave up on the beautiful Yu Wu Xiu and chose a man.

The most shocked of all, was Yu Wu Xiu herself.

For one, she was shocked because she ran into Ling Xian here. For two, she couldn’t believe he would just snatch the Goddess of Flowers title from her like that.

“About that, I don’t get it either.”

Ling Xian frowned. He quickly summoned the Essence of Herbalism to learn more about this nine-colored flower.

The Nine-Colored Flower of Choosing, one of the three wonderous flowers alongside the Devious Burial Flower. It is very rare with unspecified effects. The only information about this flower is that this flower is very sensitive with essences, especially the Essence of Herbalism.

After those information appeared, Ling Xian came to an understanding. It was likely because he had the Essence of Herbalism that the light shone upon him.

He really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because he didn’t expect the situation to fan out in such a manner. He paid his respect and smiled. “Leader Hua, I believe the Nine-Colored Flower of Choosing has chosen the wrong person. There’s been a misunderstanding.”

At his words, the shock that he imagined everyone to have didn’t appear on their faces. Instead, the entire place silenced.

All gazes were now fixated on him, full of disbelief.

Even the original leveled cultivator, Hua Wan Yue, was full of shock. She didn’t think Ling Xian would know this flower’s name!

Since the creation of the city, this flower has been existing and everyone’s called it the godly flower. Only the city leaders and the Goddess of Flowers had the right to know its name!

Yet Ling Xian just called out its name. Why wouldn’t everyone be in awe?

“You... you somehow know the flower’s name!”

Hua Wan Yue found it difficult to hide her shock. Even with her mentality of being an original leveled cultivator, she couldn’t help but to feel surprised.

“It’s just a flower. What’s so special about it?”

Ling Xian laughed, not at all minding the name of the flower. But after thinking about it, he understood.

The Nine-Colored Flower of Choosing was so rare since the history of time that very few people could call out its name. Therefore, him calling out its name was a little surprising.

“Young and have amazing achievement in cultivation... I cannot believe you also have such knowledge.” Hua Wan Yue stared at Ling Xian with shock in her eyes.

Then, she felt a headache.

The flower had chosen a man. In the history of this city, that has never happened. Yet the flower’s orders cannot be disobeyed. So matter who it chooses, the person would have to become the Goddess of Flowers.

Thus, why wouldn’t Hua Wan Yue feel troubled? However, thinking about the unusualness of the City of Flowers, as well as Ling Xian’s greatness, she wondered if that was God’s orders?

Thinking about that, Hua Wan Yue made a decision, “Since the godly flower has chosen, then I hereby announce that this man shall be the new Goddess of Flowers.”

At that, the entire crowd erupted.

“Is she crazy? She’s picking a man to be the Goddess of Flowers?”

“What’s wrong with that? There’s really no rules about who can be the Goddess or God of Flowers. It’s just that the flower has always chosen women.”

“Haha, interesting. After thousands of years, the flower has chosen a man!”

Everyone chimed in to gossip. They were all surprised but also found it really funny.

Historically, the Goddess of Flowers position has been handled by women. Though there’s been no hard rules, history has been witnessed by everyone and has set precedent. Yet now a man was called to be responsible for that – this was something new.

“I am to be crowned?”

Ling Xian didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Honestly speaking, he’s done a lot to break traditional rules. But regarding this, he really truly didn’t want to break anyone’s worldview.

However, thinking about the secret behind the Goddess of Flowers, he decided not to decline. After all, there’s been no rules that the God of Flowers had to be a “Goddess”.

“Oh well, since the flower has chosen me, then I will do what I was asked.” Ling Xian smiled helplessly.

After he spoke out this sentence, rays of happy and angry stares landed on him.

The happy stare came from Hua Wan Yue, the angry one came from Yu Wu Xiu.

Her hands were tightened into fists and her sharp nails dug into her skin. It was obvious how furious she was at this.

She trekked all the way here to obtain the Goddess of Flowers title. For one, she wanted to increase her status, for two, she wanted to find out more about the City of Flowers.

Yet her entire plan had been disrupted by Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t she be furious? She was itchy from all her hatred.

Yet inside her, there was the inhibition spell set by Ling Xian. Even without that, she wouldn’t be able to win a fight against him.

“Aye, this nemesis of mine must have been sent by heavens to stop my journey forward.” Yu Wu Xiu silently sighed. Other than the anger on her face, there was only helplessness.

At her fury, the six heroes frowned. The way they looked at Ling Xian turned cold.

They were all attracted to Yu Wu Xiu and they weren’t dumb. They knew why she was here and understood why she was so furious.

“There is no need to be so angry, beauty. I will avenge you.” A man wearing a black robe spoke slowly.

“Hmm?”

Yu Wu Xiu’s eyes shone. She didn’t accept nor did she reject. However, without rejecting, it meant she agreed.

“Don’t worry. I will take care of it for you.”

The man in black smiled proudly and stepped forward one step. Instantly, terrifying Qi rolled out and hovered over everything.

“You, the person who’s neither male or female, come fight me!”
