Chapter 182 - 182 181 Alien Species Jade Butterfly Plum

182: Chapter 181: Alien Species Jade Butterfly Plum 182: Chapter 181: Alien Species Jade Butterfly Plum Lin Xuan stopped three zhang from the Ice and Snow Fairy and felt a pressure wash over him.

At the same time, there was a coldness as piercing as marrow.

He halted his steps, waiting for the Ice and Snow Fairy’s response.

The Snow White Monkey on his shoulder also waited, with curious, large eyes like black gemstones.

“Can you really make the Jade Butterfly Plum bloom?” the Ice and Snow Fairy asked.

Lin Xuan nodded his head, showing a confident smile.

Behind him, many martial artists crowded around; they also wanted to witness the legendary Jade Butterfly Plum blossom.

The Sword Pattern Youth and the Purple-clothed Girl stood in the crowd, watching Lin Xuan with cold eyes.

“Hmph, country bumpkin, do you even know which one is the Jade Butterfly Plum?” the Purple-clothed Girl mocked.

“If you can’t find it, get lost!

Don’t deceive the Fairy here!” the Sword Pattern Youth added coldly.

The Ice and Snow Fairy did not stop them this time but said indifferently, “As long as you can find the real Jade Butterfly Plum, you may try.”

Lin Xuan smiled lightly, “Good!”

Then he looked over the nearby grove of plum trees.

Among the several dozen unbloomed plum trees around him, only one was the true Jade Butterfly Plum.

Everyone watched intently and quietly, waiting for Lin Xuan to make his move.

Lord of Wine’s voice echoed in Lin Xuan’s mind: “Kid, I don’t recognize any Jade Butterfly Plum, you’re on your own!”

“Don’t worry, Lord of Wine!” Lin Xuan transmitted his voice back.

He wandered lightly through the plum grove, and slowly said, “There was a Jade Butterfly Plum in the courtyard of my home, too.”

“Just keep boasting, how could your Yunzhou have a Jade Butterfly Plum!” the Purple-clothed Girl retorted.

Lin Xuan ignored her and continued, “It was planted by my mother and would bloom with jade butterfly-like flowers every winter.”

“When we were lucky, we could even witness the spectacle of butterflies transforming and dancing.”

Lin Xuan’s voice was somewhat deep, but the scene he described made everyone yearn.

The gaze of the Ice and Snow Fairy flickered with a hint of excitement.

She knew that Lin Xuan must have seen the Jade Butterfly Plum bloom because very few knew about the butterflies’ dance.

“Do you know the story of the Jade Butterfly Plum?”

Lin Xuan suddenly asked.

Everyone was taken aback, shaking their heads.

They had only heard of this alien species of plum, but did not know the details.

The Ice and Snow Fairy’s expression changed slightly; she knew, but with her disposition, she would definitely not reveal it.

Lin Xuan said nothing more and stopped in front of a plum tree.

It was a very ordinary plum tree, so ordinary that nobody had paid it any attention.

Everyone was surprised, as it seemed unlikely that the legendary Jade Butterfly Plum would be so ordinary.

“How could it be this one!” the Purple-clothed Girl scoffed.

However, the Ice and Snow Fairy calmly said, “You may begin.”

“What, it’s really this one!” Everyone exclaimed in surprise, feeling a flicker of excitement at heart.

The Purple-clothed Girl’s face flushed hot, biting her silver teeth, “He guessed – it must be a guess!”

“I don’t believe you can make the Jade Butterfly Tree bloom!”

The Sword Pattern Youth frowned tightly, a bad premonition welled up in his heart—a swordsman’s intuition.

Everyone craned their necks, eager to know how Lin Xuan was going to make the Jade Butterfly Plum blossom.

The Ice and Snow Fairy also looked on with anticipation, feeling a slight nervousness in her heart.

Lin Xuan looked at the budding blossom and slowly approached.

With a gentle touch of his fingertips, Lin Xuan began to draw.

He was quick, and in the blink of an eye, several buds had the shape of butterflies on them.

Lin Xuan did not stop until he had drawn on all the flower buds.

“Done,” Lin Xuan said.

“What, that’s it?” The crowd was stunned, somewhat disbelieving.

“Drawing a few butterflies and calling it a Jade Butterfly Plum?

Ridiculous!” the Purple-clothed Girl yelled loudly.

“I hope you can still speak so loudly when you admit you are wrong,” Lin Xuan said coldly, staring at the purple-clothed girl.

Having said that, he ignored her and looked towards the Ice and Snow Fairy.

“Fairy, communicate with it with all your heart.”

The crowd was dubious, thinking Lin Xuan sounded like a charlatan.

Yet the Ice and Snow Fairy seemed to believe Lin Xuan, walking up to the Jade Butterfly Plum, she brought her palms together and slowly closed her eyes.

Everyone waited, uncertain what the Ice and Snow Fairy was thinking.

Moments later, tiny points of light suddenly appeared, resembling the glimmer of fireflies.

Then, the glow became brighter and brighter, enchanting like the moonlight, intoxicating to onlookers.

One after another, the flower buds slowly began to bloom, and the shape of the petals resembled fluttering butterflies.

“They’ve bloomed, they’ve truly bloomed!” the crowd exclaimed in amazement.

“Impossible, this can’t be real!” the purple-clothed girl repeated over and over, as if unable to believe this was happening.

The Sword Pattern Youth’s face turned dark as well, and he even felt an urge to flee.

The Ice and Snow Fairy opened her eyes and looked at the blooming Jade Butterfly Plum, speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, the blossoms unfolded their wings, and one after another, light-formed butterflies emerged, dancing gracefully in the air.

“The transformation into dancing butterflies, so it does exist,” the Ice and Snow Fairy was mesmerized.

Lin Xuan gazed at the Jade Butterflies filling the sky with a sigh in his heart, as he began to miss home.

“In this world, only by possessing great strength can you protect your loved ones!” Lord of Wine reminded him.

Lin Xuan nodded, his resolve on the Martial Arts path now even more steadfast.

After a long while, the Jade Butterflies in the sky disappeared, once again turning into blossoms that resembled jade, blooming in the garden.

Lin Xuan turned back to look at the Sword Pattern Youth and the purple-clothed girl.

“You, you…” The purple-clothed girl’s expression was frantic, the earlier arrogance completely gone.

The Sword Pattern Youth, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

“You two, our bet still stands, right?” Lin Xuan said calmly.

“You were shouting so loudly earlier, keep going!” The disciples of Xuantian Sect were quite vindicated.

“I, I…” The purple-clothed girl blushed, almost crying.

She deeply regretted opposing Lin Xuan!

If heaven gave her another chance, she would stay away from Lin Xuan, preferably never to encounter him again.

Being a disciple of a great family and having to say such things in front of so many people, the purple-clothed girl felt like she wanted to die.

In the end, with her face flushed, she fainted from anger.

Thud—

The purple-clothed girl collapsed to the ground.

“What about you?

Choose to faint or to shout it out?” Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.

The Sword Pattern Youth clenched his fists, itching to fight Lin Xuan right there and then.

But he was the leading disciple of Golden Sword Sect, a person with status in the martial world.

Now, he couldn’t attack Lin Xuan in front of so many people!

And if he ran away, he would surely lose face in the future.

To ask for mercy, even worse, he would have no face to meet people!

Eventually, he chose the same approach as the purple-clothed girl and fainted.

However, it wasn’t from anger, but from using his Spiritual Power to knock himself out.

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he would end up like this.

“Awesome!” The disciples of Xuantian Sect were thoroughly exhilarated, roaring in their hearts.

Lin Xuan also wore a smile, delighted with settling matters with two strong opponents without raising his hand, a result that pleased him greatly.

“Who knows them?

Take them out; they’re spoiling the mood lying here!”

Lin Xuan waved his hand in disgust.

From the crowd, the companions of the Sword Pattern Youth, faces ashen, picked up the two and carried them away.

“Lin Xuan, right?

Not only have you offended the Golden Sword Sect and Yuan Family, but you’ve also crossed Young Master Feng.

Just wait for your demise!”

A few youths spoke with icy voices.

They were followers of Lin Feng, all staring at Lin Xuan with a killing aura.
