Chapter 133 Testing
The flower shop is located on the second floor.
This is Tan Zhixin's residential area, and the place where she has always lived. For her, this flower shop is her home.
Stepping on the slightly creaking wooden floor, I pushed open the door, and the first thing that caught my eye was a sunny window. Although it was night, I could still imagine the sunlight filtering through the curtains.
A carved wooden bed was placed in the center of the room, with a clean white bedspread laid out neatly. This area was off-limits to outsiders, but Tan Zhixin did not fuss over it.
Beside the bed is a small bedside table with a vintage table lamp on it. The lampshade is embroidered with delicate floral patterns, creating a very tranquil atmosphere.
Against the wall was an antique-style wardrobe, next to which was a dressing table, the only relatively messy place in the room, filled with various cosmetics that Tang Zijun couldn't name.
The bedroom floor was covered with a thick carpet. Tan Zhixin took off her shoes when she reached the door and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet.
At the edge of the carpet was a huge bookshelf filled with all kinds of books, covering a wide range of categories, from magazines like "The Horror Clan" to profound books like "How the World Thinks." Tang Zijun even saw Zhiyin Comic Book.
In the corner of the room, there was a wine cabinet about half a person's height, with several bottles of red wine placed diagonally inside. At the bottom were some white wine and rice wine, without any labels, only tags.
This surprised Tang Zijun, who glanced at the other party with some surprise. In his limited memory, Mr. Qingnang should be the kind of person who didn't drink alcohol.
"Come in, don't mind me."
Tan Zhixin smiled and turned around, looking at Tang Zijun who was still standing at the door, and said.
Tang Zijun hesitated slightly, after all, stepping on the clean carpet in the bedroom while in transformation mode was a very impolite thing to do.
After a moment's thought, Tang Zijun decided to leave the shoes outside.
"You actually managed to take that off?"
Tan Zhixin's eyes widened; she really hadn't expected this.
"Well, it's just a suit of armor, not a bodysuit, so of course it can be taken off," Tang Zijun explained.
In fact, he had already thoroughly studied the Wolf Rider Belt. In terms of transformation mode alone, Tang Zijun was able to transform his torso to fight, but he usually didn't do so.
Otherwise, Tang Zijun wouldn't have been able to summon her knight's sword without transforming.
People with a bit of OCD often also have mild decision-making difficulties and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Tang Zijun is no exception, so he usually transforms completely and rarely transforms only his upper or lower body.
Tang Zijun gently closed the bedroom door. She knew that the other person had called her here because they had something they didn't want others to hear.
Turning her attention away from Tang Zijun's black socks, Tan Zhixin gently crossed her arms and spoke.
"Mr. Wolf Rider, I'd like to know your stance on this matter."
"What do you mean?" Tang Zijun's expression hardened.
Tan Zhixin gestured for Tang Zijun to sit on the beanbag chair in her bedroom, then continued, "Do you think that 'Hyacinth' is trustworthy, or rather, do you believe what she's said?"
"You don't believe her?"
"It's not that I don't believe you. To be honest, between you and her, I'm more inclined to believe you. This isn't flattery, but because you have reason and a way of thinking like a human being."
Tan Zhixin leaned slightly against the headboard, stretched out her snow-white legs, placed her left foot on top of her right foot, and continued speaking.
"Whether you are a greedy person or a human with the abilities of a greedy person, your thought process is the same as mine, but hyacinth is different. I don't even know what she is."
"The energy she possesses is similar to the natural energy of the Rainbow Crystal Flower, but I cannot open my heart to her just because of this similarity. Whether it is the Tree of Life or the Flower Fairy, these are beings that transcend human civilization."
Listening to Master Qingnang's words, Tang Zijun belatedly realized what was going on.
Indeed, I seem to have oversimplified everything.
Or to put it another way—my ability to accept things is too strong!
Ever since I came into this world and obtained the Wolf Rider Belt, I have been in a state of "who am I, where am I, and what am I going to kill".
Even though he had been silent for seven years and had truly integrated into this new world, these habits still remained in his heart.
I even forgot that for humans, the appearance of hyacinths already constitutes a third kind of contact!
Honestly, what would a person think if they encountered a highly advanced life form completely different from themselves? Most normal people would probably approach it with a sense of wariness and rejection.
Such a creature, which has survived from the mythological era to the technological era, is unprecedented in the magical girl's understanding.
"Perhaps it's because you're strong enough that you don't care about the possibility of them threatening you, but I'm different. I need to be responsible for the safety of the other sisters."
"I don't deny that there might be evil among magical creatures like hyacinths, but I think that for now, she's on our side." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly.
"If Sir Skull gets what he wants, it will be a catastrophe for reality. I can assure you that Hyacinth has never lied from beginning to end, and you know I can tell."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixin tilted her head. "Do you think I'm only referring to the Tree Crown Royal City? No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
"Sir Skeleton is our enemy, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I will definitely help you with this matter no matter what. But the question is, do you know what the power of the Canopy City means?"
Tang Zijun opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He really didn't know what these powers meant.
Then Tan Zhixin continued speaking.
"I just came into contact with that golden leaf. The magic on it is very interesting. It has helped me a lot, and it's the kind of help that has no side effects."
"However, perhaps there isn't enough energy on the leaf, so the help isn't obvious. It hasn't reached the point where I'd pay a price to take it for myself. But don't forget, the source of the magic isn't this leaf."
"I think I understand now." Tang Zijun stroked her chin, her expression turning serious. "You're worried that this magic might disrupt the current balance, right?"
Tang Zijun initially thought that Master Qingnang was wary of Hyacinth, a sudden and unexpected presence, but to her surprise, the other party had already thought of the next war.
This kind of forward-looking thinking is indeed worth learning.
"I can tell you definitively that the magic in these leaves can enhance a magical girl's magical power, and even ordinary people can significantly increase their lifespan by brewing tea with these leaves. Do you understand the seriousness of this matter?"
Tan Zhixin's words coincided with what Chang Lei had said before: the energy of the Tree Crown Royal City is pure and indiscriminate, and whoever obtains it will benefit greatly.
The magic of the Tree Crown Royal City is very special; it is enough to open up space and grant flower fairies wisdom and bodies. It is no exaggeration to call it a genuine 'divine power'.
The latest novel is first published here!
If she could obtain this magic and shape it into a card, Tang Zijun couldn't imagine what kind of powerful form she could unlock.
Energy is neither good nor evil, but people are.
Everyone understands the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." As for Sir Skull, he was merely someone who exposed this matter to the public eye.
Even without him, there will be others in the future. As long as the Tree Crown Royal City exists, their world will be at risk of being exposed to reality.
No one can guarantee that the next human who accidentally enters the secret realm will be a good person like Mr. Qin. Once someone can't suppress their greed, a huge conflict will break out.
She hadn't thought too much about it before, but now, after hearing Mr. Qingnang's words, Tang Zijun realized the seriousness of the matter.
Even he himself subconsciously had the idea of possessing the other person, and it was hard to imagine what other people would do after they found out about this.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun also had a headache. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the woman in front of him.
"So, according to you, what should we do?"
"Kill her," Master Qingnang replied.
Tang Zijun's eyelids twitched, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
"Kill her?"
"Yes, kill her. I will keep this a secret. No magical girl will know of her existence, and no one will know that a secret realm is hidden behind reality."
Tan Zhixin gave Tang Zijun a deep look, then smiled and continued speaking.
"If Sir Skeleton wants war, then let him have war. Once he and Crown City are both weakened, we can reap the benefits and seize the treasure before he does."
"By then, we can both eliminate a high-ranking member of the heretical demons and gain even greater power. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the bedroom became somewhat tense.
The night breeze blew through the window screen, stirring the flower specimens hanging on the wall, and the potted green plants by the window swayed slightly, their dark green leaves bobbing up and down.
Tang Zijun didn't speak, but silently stared at the woman in front of her. Her eyes behind the mask sharpened slightly. Tang Zijun really didn't expect the other party to make such a suggestion.
Upon closer examination, Tan Zhixin's plan was indeed perfect.
With his strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to confront a high-ranking officer like Sir Skull. Even if he couldn't kill Sir Skull, as long as he took action, the treasure would definitely be his.
If they can obtain a stronger form with the help of the secret treasure, or bring some improvement to Tangcao, then their safety will be greatly enhanced.
but.
Tang Zijun licked her dry lips, her stiff fingers trembling slightly.
"You"
He then chuckled softly, slowly raised his palm, and pointed his index finger at Mr. Qingnang's smiling face.
"I thought we were already friends."
"This kind of probing is probably unnecessary."
