Chapter 208: Magic Continent Rose
Summoning a train?
Sang Chu looked at Roger with a serious expression. Roger calmly said, “I am the station keeper of a high-level world. If I don’t let you on, you can’t get on. Those white bones outside are many cultivators with wood spiritual roots from the cultivation world. They were arrogant and rude, and looked down on us. So, I let them stay and become fertilizer for the flowers. I think travelers from other worlds don’t need such people. What about you? Do you agree to my terms, or will you take a gamble and hope I keep my promise to let you go?”
Sang Chu: “Mr. Roger, are you telling me this to leave me with only one choice? I don’t know what illness Miss Rose has, but since Mr. Roger can’t find a way to cure Miss Rose, I’m afraid…”
“Qin Si Mian can’t help either?”
Sang Chu shook her head: “I don’t know. All I know is, given how much Mr. Roger values Miss Rose, if Qin Si Mian had such medicine before, you would have already obtained it. But Miss Rose still can’t leave the castle, which means you didn’t buy the medicine from Qin Si Mian before.”
Roger closed his eyes powerlessly, his voice filled with exhaustion: “You can go. I’ve already opened the formation. You just need to accelerate growth daily. Rose needs flower fragrance to maintain her bodily functions.”
Looking at his retreating back, Sang Chu, unable to help herself, said, “Mr. Roger, are you still looking for medicine for Miss Rose? You might think I’m meddling, but I still want to say, please give up on searching for medicine. Stay with her in this place. I don’t know what happened in this castle before, but it must have been terrifying for her. It’s already tragic that she can’t leave this place. If you’re not tired of her, disgusted with her, and want to leave her, but instead want to find medicine for her own good, then I think she needs you by her side more than medicine.”
Roger’s footsteps paused, and he turned to look at Sang Chu: “Can you, can you go and see Rose for me? She used to have a friend, but a hundred years have passed. Normal people wouldn’t live that long.”
Sang Chu smiled: “Of course. It’s an honor to be Miss Rose’s friend. If Miss Rose needs flower fragrance to maintain her bodily functions, then I can help.”
She took out some monster plants from her jade bracelet space and handed them to Roger: “These are monster flowers I obtained from other worlds. I don’t know if they’ll be useful, but the spiritual energy they contain is at least more concentrated than these roses.”
Roger glanced at them but shook his head helplessly: “They’re useless. These flowers have too much power for Rose. It will cause her body to suffer backlash. It’s very late, and the fog is thick at night. You should go back to the castle. I’ll clear away the trash for you at night and won’t let it disturb you. I’ll have the servants prepare some food for you.”
“Alright, thank you, Mr. Roger.”
Roger nodded, waved his hand, and the door to the flower room opened. Sang Chu instantly felt her body lighten. She hadn’t realized she had been restrained without even knowing it!
【This is too terrifying, these methods are simply unfathomable! 】
Sang Chu was very scared. Tu You nodded repeatedly: 【I was also affected without realizing it. Let’s go, let’s go quickly, it’s too terrifying! 】
【Yes! 】
Sang Chu followed Roger towards the castle.
The inside of the castle was brightly lit, like a completely different world from the outside.
Seeing Roger preparing to have people make food, Sang Chu immediately thought of that hard-as-rock food that could break teeth, and shivered, quickly stopping him: “Mr. Roger, how about I prepare dinner with my brother and the others? I have food with me.”
“Hmm, I know you’re not used to the food on the Magic Continent. Then do as you please. I’ll go call them downstairs.”
“Alright, thank you!”
Sang Chu, who had let out a big sigh of relief, patted her chest and was about to head to the kitchen when she suddenly saw a woman in a white dress and was startled.
“I’m sorry, did I startle you?”
Rose had changed out of her elaborate clothes. A clean, simple white dress enveloped her body, and a white veil covered her face, leaving only a pair of white eyes visible.
Sang Chu looked at her eyes and smiled kindly: “You startled me by appearing suddenly. By the way, I’m going to the kitchen, want to come along?”
Rose’s clear eyes blinked and she nodded slightly: “Okay.”
“Let’s go. Although I’m a novice in the kitchen, I can still make juice. By the way, many things on the Magic Continent are missing. How about I treat you to some watermelon juice? It’s something I quite like.”
“You like watermelon juice too?”
Sang Chu looked at Rose in confusion: “You like it too?”
“Not me, but my only friend, An An. She said she really likes watermelon, but it’s too troublesome to dig it out and eat it every summer. So, she likes to juice it directly and keep it in the refrigerator, then take it out when she wants to drink it. It’s very convenient!”
Sang Chu smiled speechlessly: “That’s truly lazy to the extreme. But, I like it too.”
“Mhm, I thought you and An An were quite similar before.”
Although Sang Chu didn’t know who this An An was, she could infer from Rose’s tone and Roger’s previous words that this An An was likely the one who saved Rose, and even became her friend. However, so much time had passed, this An An was probably no longer around.
“Do I look very similar to her?”
Rose shook her head: “We don’t look alike. An An’s face is round and chubby, very cute. I think we’re similar because you both feel warm and make people feel very at ease.”
This was the first time someone had described her like this. Sang Chu curiously stopped and looked at Rose. Through the thin veil, she could see Rose’s slightly upturned lips. As Roger had said, she was indeed gentle and kind. However, kind people usually didn’t have good endings.
“This is the first time someone has described me like this. I’m a little happy. My name is Sang Chu, it’s nice to meet you!”
Sang Chu extended her hand to Rose, but she hesitated: “My, my hands are very cold. They’ll, they’ll frostbite you.”
After speaking, as if afraid Sang Chu would regret saying she wanted to meet her, she quickly added, “I, I’m also very happy to meet you. My name is Rose, because my daddy said I was his and mommy’s little treasure, so he named me Rose!”
“Yes, it’s a beautiful name that suits you well. Here, this is for you!”
Sang Chu handed Rose a sunflower. She thought that since high-energy flowers wouldn’t work, flowers from the Magic Continent should be fine.
Sang Chu: “Sunflowers grow towards the sun. They are like the sun, both warm.”
Rose held the sunflower, her eyes slightly reddening as she lowered her head. Her voice was very soft; if Sang Chu’s ears weren’t good, she probably wouldn’t have heard the whispered “thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Aren’t we friends?” As she spoke, she leaned close to Rose’s ear and said, “Speaking of which, I should thank you too. Without you, I would probably still be in the flower room, diligently accelerating the growth of roses. Thank you.”
