At this moment, the first flower spirit had walked up behind them, "The flower nectar is here."
Upon hearing this, the two flower spirits blocking the first one naturally stepped aside. The first flower spirit glanced at them, then without a word, placed the tray down and looked at Rose, whose face was radiant with happiness, "Rose, Mu Anxiao has arrived." Knowing Rose wasn't completely lost in thought, she spoke directly.
As expected, the instant the first flower spirit uttered these words, Rose snapped back to attention. Taking advantage of the reminder, she turned and smiled, "You've arrived." She stood up.
Mu Anxiao didn't know how to respond, so she opted for a smile as her greeting.
Following suit, the other flower spirits also shifted their gaze towards Mu Anxiao. Caught in their sudden attention, Mu Anxiao felt a touch of shyness. "Hello everyone," she said, feeling obliged to greet them.
Concurrently, Rose approached Mu Anxiao, "I have good news for you." She took Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao knew what Rose was about to say, but... because of the wolf demon, she didn't intend to reveal what she knew. Instead, she feigned confusion, "What good news?" she asked, intentionally glancing behind Rose.
Rose smiled down, "Well, I spoke to the Master about it."
"Spoke about what?" Mu Anxiao continued to play along.
Rose patiently replied, "You know... that." She fixed her gaze on Mu Anxiao's face.
Mu Anxiao blinked, then seemed to realize, "Oh, you've already told Ouyang Ye about the wolf demon... Ah." She looked troubled.
Rose nodded.
"Did he agree?" Mu Anxiao inquired further.
Rose hummed in affirmation and said, "The Master agreed to my marriage with him. He also said," she smiled, "that if possible, we could choose the same day."
"The dates are already arranged?" Mu Anxiao asked, surprised.
"Yes, but the Master said we'd still need the Lord to find an auspicious date." Rose recounted truthfully.
Mu Anxiao let out a dry chuckle, "He really thinks of everything. Alright, I understand." She said, then, in front of Rose, shifted her gaze to the other flower spirits.
Subsequently, Rose followed Mu Anxiao's line of sight and glanced at the flower spirits, looking puzzled, "Why are you looking at them?" she asked, turning her gaze back to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao also withdrew her gaze and looked at Rose, "I have something to tell you."
"You want them to leave?" Rose understood Mu Anxiao's intention.
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Yes, if possible, I'd like you to ask them to step aside. I have something I need to clarify with you."
"Alright." Rose, seeing Mu Anxiao's mysterious expression, became curious about what she wanted to say. Driven by this curiosity, she unhesitatingly turned to them and said, "Sisters, could you please step aside for a moment?"
"Okay," the flower spirits replied in unison and left.
Following this, only the first flower spirit remained. Rose looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Um, remember to drink the flower nectar." The first flower spirit seemed troubled by something.
Mu Anxiao observed this and thought, there's a problem.
Conversely, Rose saw through it immediately and asked, "He asked you to bring this to me, didn't he?"
"..." The first flower spirit subtly averted her gaze.
Seeing this, Rose grew indignant, "I want you to tell me the truth."
"Ah Feng specifically prepared this for you. You've refused it several times already. If you refuse again," the first flower spirit said earnestly, "it would be too unreasonable."
"He taught you to say that, didn't he?" Rose said calmly.
The first flower spirit gasped, "In any case, you should just drink it. Don't ask..."
"Take it away," Rose interrupted abruptly.
The first flower spirit's expression stiffened. "This isn't right. He worked hard to obtain this jar of flower nectar, and besides..." her voice lowered, "he specifically asked for it for you. If you don't accept it, won't that be too disrespectful?"
"If you like that bee, then you can take this jar of flower nectar," Rose said very directly.
"You..."
"I am already betrothed to that wolf demon. If I accept this flower nectar, what does that make it? Not to mention anything else, if the Master finds out, he will surely fly into a rage. May I ask," Rose said solemnly, "what should I say to the Master then? Should I say that you insisted on brokering this?"
"I... you..." the first flower spirit was speechless.
Mu Anxiao listened to Rose's reasoned words and then looked at the first flower spirit's speechless expression. After a moment's thought, just as she was about to speak, a male voice came from behind her, "Mei'er, you're really not giving me any face."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head slightly but remained silent and still.
At this moment, Rose's body stiffened. She slowly turned to face the man in yellow, who had walked past Mu Anxiao and was now approaching her, and said, "I've refused you many times. If you continue like this," she narrowed her eyes, "it'll become meaningless."
The first flower spirit slightly lowered her head.
In contrast, Mu Anxiao openly stared at the man in yellow, who completely ignored her, and frowned.
Hearing Rose's words, the man in yellow wasn't angry; instead, he smiled, "I just find it interesting, that's why I insist on doing this," he said, meeting Rose's eyes firmly, "I heard you're marrying that wolf demon."
"Yes," Rose said firmly.
The man in yellow smiled, "Mei'er, you're truly persistent."
"I knew he would come here, so naturally, I had to seize this opportunity. Because," Rose said, her eyes exceptionally determined, "he is a thousand, ten thousand times better than you."
"You..."
"Mu Anxiao, anything you have to say... tell me later. I don't want to see him." Rose interrupted, glancing at Mu Anxiao's face, then turned and vanished.
Seeing Rose leave, the first flower spirit lost the courage to stay there any longer and also turned and disappeared without a word.
Thus, only Mu Anxiao and the man in yellow remained.
"You're Ah Feng," Mu Anxiao broke the silence, speaking first.
Hearing this, the man in yellow slowly turned to look at Mu Anxiao, "You are Mu Anxiao, the one the Master brought back," he said, glancing at Mu Anxiao, and smiled, "You're quite ordinary."
"You like Rose," Mu Anxiao said, completely bypassing the man in yellow's comment.
"Yes, but I still want to say you're truly ordinary." The man in yellow intentionally emphasized this.
Mu Anxiao had always disliked people or demons who judged others' appearances upon their first meeting. And now, this Ah Feng had precisely touched her bottom line. Naturally, she was displeased, "If I'm ordinary, does that mean you're good-looking?" she asked coldly.
