"You're Hua Yu, right? Thank you for telling me so much about this world. As I never owe anyone, I can teach you one type of spell if you wish."
Ying Tianqing said with a smile.
"You want to teach me a spell?!"
Hua Yu was somewhat flattered, even finding it somewhat surreal.
"Yes, I never go back on my word. While I haven't changed my mind, feel free to ask."
Ying Tianqing played with the remote control in his hand, even trying to turn on the television with it.
"But I don't have anything I want to learn. I'm not interested in martial arts or anything."
Hua Yu thought about it. She truly had no great desires.
She felt content with her current freedom, happiness, and lack of restraint.
Ying Tianqing looked at Hua Yu in surprise and chuckled, "I don't believe there's anyone in this world without desires. Little girl, think carefully. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come again."
Hua Yu pondered for a moment. She could tell Ying Tianqing was serious and didn't want to refuse his kindness.
"Alright then, teach me a spell that can make flowers and plants flourish."
Hua Yu's favorite pastime was tending to her flowers and plants.
"Good, that's very simple. I will now impart to you a spell called 'Withered Wood Meets Spring'."
"This is a wood-elemental spell. Once you learn it, you can not only make flowers and plants flourish but also control any wood-elemental plants."
After speaking, Ying Tianqing reached out and tapped Hua Yu's forehead.
Instantly, a green light entered Hua Yu's forehead. She felt a surge of strange text in her mind, resembling incantations for casting spells.
"Alright, you can try it now. Anything wood-elemental can be controlled by you,"
Ying Tianqing said lightly.
Hua Yu was somewhat confused. He had only tapped her forehead; could it be that powerful?
Although skeptical, Hua Yu still tried pointing her finger at a pothos plant on the coffee table.
"Transform!"
Hua Yu pointed at the pothos, her finger tapping it very seriously.
However, the pothos showed no reaction at all.
"Haha, you are truly amusing, little girl. I've only granted you wood-elemental spiritual energy. To cast spells, you still need the incantations,"
Ying Tianqing said, unable to suppress his laughter.
"Oh, I'll try again."
Hua Yu felt a bit embarrassed, feeling like a complete idiot.
So, she mentally recited a string of incantations based on the text in her mind.
"Transform!"
Hua Yu pointed at the pothos. This time, a green light shot from her fingertip towards the plant.
Immediately, the pothos began to grow wildly. In a short while, it had spread to fill the entire room.
The entire room instantly became full of life, covered in green.
"It's so magical, I did all this?!"
Hua Yu could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.
"What is this? It's just a minor wood-elemental spell. If you wish to learn more, I can teach you more advanced ones."
Ying Tianqing looked at the pure and lovely Hua Yu, and it reminded him of Qing Niao, whom he had once deeply loved.
Once upon a time, Qing Niao was like Hua Yu, with a smile as beautiful as a flower, laughing and talking joyfully before him.
Alas, times had changed, and his era had long been buried in the river of history after ten thousand years.
"No need, I am already very satisfied with this spell. Thank you, Mr. Ying."
Hua Yu declined.
"Alright, then I will rest."
As Ying Tianqing spoke, he vanished from the spot, his whereabouts unknown.
Seeing Ying Tianqing leave, Hua Yu's playful nature took over, and she began to use her newly learned spell to redecorate the room.
Soon, the entire room was covered with various flowers and plants.
It was like a fairy tale cottage, filled with colorful flora, making one feel comfortable and enchanted.
At this moment, Lin Feng finished his cultivation and intended to go into the room to check on Ying Tianqing.
As a result, he was stunned by the changes in the room.
"Miss Hua, what's going on? Why is the room suddenly full of plants?"
Lin Feng was very surprised. He had only been out for a short while, and the room had already turned into a primeval forest.
"Isn't it good? It's so charming. I did this."
"Right, I'll make you a chair."
Hua Yu was like a happy child. With a giggle, she manipulated vines with her spell, weaving them into a rather retro-style chair.
The chair was made of pure nature, with vines emerging from the ground and growing into a chair on their own.
It looked like a masterpiece of nature's uncanny craftsmanship.
"What the heck, you did all this? How did you suddenly become so powerful?"
Lin Feng stared at Hua Yu with great surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Mr. Ying taught me the spell."
Hua Yu explained the whole story to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "My dear Miss Hua, since Ying Tianqing agreed to teach you a spell, why didn't you learn something powerful and instead learned something to fiddle with plants? What were you thinking?"
Lin Feng was filled with regret. If he had known Ying Tianqing was so eccentric, he would have patiently taught him something.
"Because I like it. Why would I, a girl, learn such powerful spells? I'm not like you, always fighting and killing."
Hua Yu pouted. Thinking of Lin Feng's arrogant demeanor at the Hua family made her feel disgusted.
"Alright, as long as you like it."
"But when will my 'Old Brother' Ying teach me some spells?"
Lin Feng was a little envious.
What young boy didn't have a dream of becoming an immortal?
What young boy didn't wish to possess immortal arts?
"I don't think he will teach you unless you can help him find Qing Niao's reincarnation."
Through their brief interaction, Hua Yu had a general understanding of Ying Tianqing.
A prominent figure like Ying Tianqing would never like a troublemaker like Lin Feng.
"I'll find her. I'll start looking for her tomorrow."
"It's getting late, let's wash up and sleep."
"We've been married for a while, met the parents, shouldn't we consummate our marriage now?"
Lin Feng looked at Hua Yu's alluring figure with a smile, feeling a stir of desire.
"Consummate your head!"
Hua Yu glared at Lin Feng and immediately turned to go upstairs.
Lin Feng knew Hua Yu couldn't accept him yet and didn't force it.
He was back in Qing City; did he lack women?
Thus, Lin Feng immediately used his Swift Pig speed to go find Liu Mengyao.
