Shang Qing effortlessly kept pace with Dongfang Yu. Then, the two stood atop the rock. Upon reaching the rock, Shang Qing was suddenly so surprised that she covered her mouth and widened her eyes. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⁂fire.net The scene before her was truly beautiful. This was a rock covered with green sprouts, and in the center of the rock, there was a small basin-sized pit. Inside this small pit was a layer of soil that seemed to emit a faint purple hue, and on top of the soil was a plant with lush green leaves, a green stem in the middle, and at the top of the stem was a purple orchid. The flower had six petals, each as if meticulously carved from purple gemstones by the heavens. Such a thing seemed like it only existed in mythical legends, and she was thrilled to see it today. Shang Qing was beyond excited; her eyes sparkled with delight. She took off her backpack, unzipped it, revealing a rectangular plastic box inside. Shang Qing then took out a small fruit knife, squatted beside the Purple Heart Orchid, and looked up to ask the calmly standing Dongfang Yu on the rock, "Brother Dongfang, is this the Purple Heart Orchid?" Dongfang Yu nodded almost imperceptibly and said in a low voice, "Yes, this is the Purple Heart Orchid." "It’s really so beautiful," Shang Qing couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. But as she marveled at it, Shang Qing instinctively took the fruit knife to dig at the root of the Purple Heart Orchid. Dongfang Yu furrowed his brow slightly and said softly, "Don’t move yet." Shang Qing obediently retracted her hand as soon as Dongfang Yu told her not to move. At this moment, Dongfang Yu squatted down, eyes fixed on Shang Qing. He hadn’t expected this little girl to be so well-prepared. He spoke slowly, "Wait a little longer..." "Why?" Shang Qing asked in confusion. Dongfang Yu pointed to the center of the Purple Heart Orchid’s blossom and said, "The stamen here will open soon. We can only dig it up after it’s fully bloomed; otherwise, it won’t survive when taken back..." Shang Qing’s eyes sparkled with genuine interest, discovering how fascinating this Purple Heart Orchid really was. She quickly nodded, "Alright, let’s wait until it fully blooms before digging it up." Not waiting for Dongfang Yu to speak, she eagerly asked, "How long will that take?" Dongfang Yu replied softly, "About three minutes." "That fast," Shang Qing was no longer anxious. She stood up and looked around. The rock was about eight square meters, oval-shaped, and although not high, from this distance, the white mist below actually looked like a sea of clouds. This was a magnificent sight that Shang Qing had never seen before. At this moment, a faint purring sound seemed to come from the air and the white mist. Shang Qing had never heard such a purring sound before. But she knew it was made by a cat. Around them, there was only Xiao Bai, the cat. Earlier, Xiao Bai had come with them, but when they climbed onto the rock, Xiao Bai disappeared. Shang Qing looked around and shouted loudly, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, where are you?" At this time, the purring sound seemed to be getting closer, and the white mist gradually enveloped this area. Dongfang Yu was standing amidst the white mist, his figure vague and indistinct... He stood with hands behind his back, his face calm, his expression unfamiliar, and emotions roiled in his eyes that Shang Qing couldn’t comprehend. Shang Qing felt something strange; she sensed that tonight, Dongfang Yu seemed somehow different.
