Chapter 201 World 10: The title is stupid
Jinlian felt deeply sorry for his son, and this feeling, like a surging tide, constantly assaulted his heartstrings. Consequently, he devoted himself even more diligently to cultivation, day and night, not daring to slack off even for a moment.
As time went by, Jinlian was pleasantly surprised to find that every time her spiritual power increased, her influence on the surrounding environment would increase several times.
The lotuses surrounding him seemed to feel the powerful aura emanating from him, and they began to thrive and bloom more and more gorgeously and beautifully.
One day, the young man accidentally tasted a sip of lotus root soup that he had cooked himself, and suddenly felt a strange warm current flowing through his body. His originally exhausted body instantly became much more relaxed.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed, realizing that this lotus root soup seemed to have some magical therapeutic effect.
After that, the young man began to frequently pick lotus flowers and lotus leaves from the pond, and studied their unique effects in depth.
Every night, the young master would sit alone in his study, poring over medical texts by the dim light of a candle. The flickering candlelight would often burn until dawn broke in the east before slowly extinguishing.
However, all the hard work was not in vain. After a long period of unremitting efforts, the young master finally succeeded in mastering the method of using the lotus in this pond to cure diseases and save lives.
When the young master began to use these lotus flowers to treat patients, miracles occurred one after another. Those patients with terminal illnesses, whose lives were hanging by a thread, gradually recovered after receiving the young master's carefully prepared prescriptions.
The news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the town, greatly improving the young master's reputation.
Compared to the previous focus and discussion on the young master's personal preferences, everyone is now more concerned about his good deeds and the practical benefits they can bring to themselves. After all, what everyone cares about most is always related to their own immediate interests.
As the days passed, the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed and faded, faded and bloomed again, repeating this cycle endlessly.
However, in this colorful sea of flowers, there is a half-gold and half-white two-color lotus that is particularly eye-catching.
No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, this unique lotus always remains in full bloom, and not even a petal has withered.
The young master was deeply in love with this unique lotus, and his heart was filled with awe. Not only that, but even the men, women, and children in the mansion regarded it as a treasure, offering it in their home shrines and reverently calling it "the holy lotus gifted by the gods."
After receiving these people's devout offerings, the spiritual power contained in the Golden Lotus became increasingly rich, and its cultivation level also increased significantly. On a quiet and deep night, when all was silent, the Golden Lotus miraculously transformed into a human form!
At this time, the young man came to visit the golden lotus. However, to his surprise, the graceful golden lotus suddenly transformed into a handsome man, who pounced on him with lightning speed and pushed him to the ground.
The young master stared at what was happening before his eyes with eyes wide open, in disbelief. He saw that the originally gorgeous two-colored lotus had transformed into a tall, handsome man with a face as delicate as a sculpture.
And this handsome man was staring at him with his deep and charming eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul and all the secrets deep in his heart.
In an instant, the young master felt as if his entire heart was tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and began to beat wildly and uncontrollably.
This feeling was so strong that he had never experienced it before - even when he faced the majestic and heroic young general, his heart had never been so restless.
Just when his heart was beating fast, the handsome man actually kissed him on the lips.
The young man's eyes widened, with surprise and a hint of imperceptible expectation flashing in his eyes. Surprisingly, he had no intention of pushing the person away.
When the two finally separated, Jinlian still clung to the young master like malt sugar, refusing to let go.
Seeing this, the young master said softly, "If Lotus were to disappear, the house would be in chaos."
Hearing this, although Jinlian was unwilling, she still reluctantly cast a spell and conjured up a gorgeous lotus.
However, his eyes never left the young master, he just stared at him straight, his intention was self-evident - it was obvious that he wanted to follow this young master.
Faced with such a stubborn Jinlian, the young master seemed helpless but secretly happy. In the end, he could only sigh and took Jinlian back to his room.
From that day on, the two began to spend time together day and night, and surprisingly, their relationship was extremely harmonious.
In the eyes of outsiders, Jinlian was a chivalrous warrior who had come to repay the young master for saving her life. Not to mention that both of them were extremely beautiful, just standing side by side, even though they were both men, one could not help but sigh that they were so well-matched.
Especially when Jinlian lowered her head slightly and gazed at the young master, the deep affection contained in her deep eyes was revealed without reservation, and anyone could easily see through the passionate emotions in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that they are not only outstanding in appearance, but also kind and benevolent. Because of this, the people in this area have been carefully protected by them for a long time.
Jinlian often generously distributed lotus seeds to everyone and patiently taught them the skills of growing lotus; while the young master relied on his own status and connections to work hard to open up unobstructed trade routes for the people in this land, making everyone's life increasingly prosperous.
Gradually, this place became more and more famous, and the legend of the magical life-saving lotus spread like wildfire, eventually reaching the imperial court.
When the emperor heard about this, he was very pleased. Not only did he personally bestow a beautiful name on this place - "Golden Lotus Pond", he also specially changed the way the people in the city paid taxes, changing the original money and grain taxes to tribute in the form of lotus flowers.
Since Jinliantang itself is rich in lotus, even if a large number of lotus flowers have to be tributed to the court, the loss to the local people is not huge.
Moreover, they undoubtedly felt honored and relieved to have the emperor's protection. Therefore, people were filled with deep respect for the young man who had changed their lives and the magical golden lotus.
At the same time, the story between the young master and Jinlian gradually became known to the outside world.
Although there may be some people who occasionally point fingers and gossip about this, and some people may even grit their teeth in hatred out of envy and jealousy, these gossips have no effect at all on the two people who are immersed in love.
They still depend on each other, their love for each other grows deeper, and they are inseparable.
However, there are always some people in this world who seem to be born without the ability to think, and act based on impulse and selfish desires.
For example, those princes who would do anything to fight for the throne, only have supreme power in their eyes and do not care about the feelings and interests of others at all.
There was also the fourth princess who was as sticky as taffy and kept pestering them the only time they went to the palace to see the emperor.
These princes were well aware of the immense value of Jinliantang, one of the largest commercial cities in the Central Plains. Consequently, they employed various tactics to win over Jinlian and her companions, hoping to leverage their power to consolidate their own position in the race for the throne.
As for the Fourth Princess, she was completely captivated by Jinlian's unparalleled beauty, a beauty that made her look like a celestial being. From the moment she laid eyes on her, her heart raced like a deer, unable to calm down. After returning to the palace, she lost all appetite, wanting only to have the Emperor grant her Jinlian as his consort.
Faced with the Fourth Princess's passionate and persistent pursuit, Jinlian felt helpless. He had already declined her many times, but to no avail.
Finally one day, Jinlian, who was unable to bear the annoyance, decided to take a risk. She sneaked into the fourth princess's bedroom while she was sleeping, and tried to use a special method to erase all her memories of herself.
But who would have thought that just as Jinlian was about to take action, an extremely powerful dragon energy suddenly gushed out from the palace and instantly enveloped him.
The Imperial Palace, the residence of the Son of Heaven, naturally teems with the most intense dragon energy in the world. How could anyone be allowed to act so recklessly here? Poor Jinlian had no time to react before he was burned by the blazing dragon energy. In excruciating pain, he had no choice but to flee the scene in a panic, looking utterly utterly miserable.
