Chiyou glanced at Dorian pitifully, thinking of how grateful one should be in this life.
Look! Even the heavens couldn't give the Grandmaster both brains and common sense, as that wouldn't be fair at all.
So it could be that they blessed him with wealth, brains, good looks... But not common sense.
Sigh... So it was really true what they said. No one can be perfect!
Chiyou shook her head wryly while thinking of how but the thieves around these parts were.
But little did she know that the mont Dorian stepped out, he had already placed a Talisman underneath the car, close to the rear right tire.
But this talisman was similar to the talismans he could sell to others.
It would be effective for a specific number of tis. And after that, it would break apart on its own.
So whether he would co and et his vehicle in one piece would depend on his luck, as well as how fast he handled Chiyou's matter.
Dorian glanced at his watch briefly.
They needed to speed things up!
With that, he quickly uprooted 2 flowers from the ground and blew into them.
And what happened next was sothing that Chiyou would never forget in her life.
"Grow."
Boom!
The flowers started trembling vigorously as their petals and stalks enlarged like a butterfly bursting out from its cocoon!
And their brownish roots turned into long, stretchy curled-up legs.
.
Pah!
Chiyou slapped her cheek and blinked uncountably in disbelief.
Her opened lips quivered and shook in speechlessness as she kept staring at the scene dumbfoundedly.
"You! You! They! Them! How? A dream?!"
Cviyou's fingers pointed back and forth as her brain tried to convince her that what she was seeing was indeed right.
But how can this be?
Yes. She did believe that there was so magic in this world... Especially after seeing the talisman's work the way it did.
But seeing a puny flower that she could stump on at any ti grow into a 7-foot giant right before her very naked eyeballs wasn't sothing anyone's brain can readily accept.
And almost her fascinated shock, fear and horror, the enlarged flowers took their first step towards her.
"You!~~."
Chiyou was just about to tell them to stay back. But before she could even complete her sentence, she couldn't herself now nestled in the soft petal blanket of the flower.
Eh?
Woosh!
Like lightning, the flowers carried both Chiyou and Butler Sheng very protectively.
Of course, Butler Sheng hadn't been worried from the get-go. But Chiyou, who was still new to the ga, had to take ti easing her brain in.
Sure. She had faith in the Grandmaster.
But as a human being, even in tis like this, it was okay for one's shock to be accompanied by fear... Especially when seeing such a thing for the first ti.
But now, her heart wasn't as chaotic as it was when the creatures first leaned over her like giant monsters with their petals all stretched and hunched over her.
Dang, it!
She placed her heart against her chest frailly. That mont sure was scary.
.
Dorian looked at her calmly: "Directions."
"Right, Grandmaster. I'll do my best to guide you!"
With that, the gang dashed onwards, only leaving after images of themselves behind.
Bam!
And from ti to ti, those working on fields around the paths they passed would get confused, thinking they were dreaming or imagining things.
In particular, one of the village n who went up one of the hills to harvest his sumr crops, had only paused to take a dip of 'water' before continuing his work.
He first looked at the juicy wild berries and other goods in his field, feeling very satisfied and happy at the turnout during this season.
Now, he just had to harvest it all and sell it to earn more money for his daughter.
They, village folks, lived on farming, hunting, fishing, carpentry, and other works of these sorts to get by here.
He had one daughter and one son.
His son was already schooling in the big city, working part-ti and paying for his expenses.
So now, his primary focus was on his 11-year-old daughter.
She typically spent her ti in school or doing house chores with her mother.
Yes! He was the only one in charge of harvesting, planting and tilling the soil up here.
And sotis, he liked drinking his favourite tapped white rum that was extracted and brewed in an old-fashioned way from the trees.
So after working for hours, he finally decided to have a breather and take a sip of his white rum.
But just after taking one sip, he seed to be seeing things.
Eh?
Did he just see giant flowers running around, as well as the sight of a person behind them too?
Blink. Blink. Blink.
The man blinked again but found that in this split second, there was no such image before him.
Moreover, he couldn't hear the sounds of anyone running around the place.
The man looked at the jug of white rum in his hand silently.
He starts at the jug as if having a battle with it. And soon enough, he poured its contents out onto the land with a place expression on his face.
F***!
From today henceforth, he will never drink such a crazy thing again!
.
~Brrrrrrhhhhh
The wind blew ever so gently across Chiyou's face, which was shocking, considering the speed they were going.
But Chiyou already knew the reason for this.
Look at these giant Flowers? While dancing ahead, they kept clearing the air and space before him ever so quickly, as if they were ninjas blending in with their surroundings.
They used their massive, thick and powerful roots to swipe away any harmful things that might be coming their way, all the while watching her point and direct which way they had to go.
It was just too aweso!
Chiyou knew that after this experience if she ever spoke about this matter to soone, they would think her mad... Just like Alice in Wonderland.
Most likely, they would put her in the looney bin!
~Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Like so, the flower ninjas did their thing, and Dorian calmly followed them in silence until they finally reached a forest region close to Chiyou's ho.
The ho only had 9 other neighbouring hos around it on a low hill.
Each ho had large enough space for poultry raising and private gardening.
Of course, the age wasn't just made up of these 9 households, as across the land, hos were scattered all over the place in clusters.
These were how villages here were.
Chiyou peeked at the beautiful scene of her ho from within the bushes, feeling very determined.
"Grandmaster, we're here."
