Chiyou glanced at Dorian pitifully, thinking of how grateful one should be in this life.
Look! Even the heavens couldn't give the Grandmaster both brains and common sense, as that wouldn't be fair at all.
So it could be that they blessed him with wealth, brains, good looks... But not common sense.
Sigh... So it was really true what they said. No one can be perfect!
Chiyou shook her head wryly while thinking of how but the thieves around these parts were.
But little did she know that the moment Dorian stepped out, he had already placed a Talisman underneath the car, close to the rear right tire.
But this talisman was similar to the talismans he could sell to others.
It would be effective for a specific number of times. And after that, it would break apart on its own.
So whether he would come and meet his vehicle in one piece would depend on his luck, as well as how fast he handled Chiyou's matter.
Dorian glanced at his watch briefly.
They needed to speed things up!
With that, he quickly uprooted 2 flowers from the ground and blew into them.
And what happened next was something that Chiyou would never forget in her life.
"Grow."
Boom!
The flowers started trembling vigorously as their petals and stalks enlarged like a butterfly bursting out from its cocoon!
And their brownish roots turned into long, stretchy curled-up legs.
.
Pah!
Chiyou slapped her cheek and blinked uncountably in disbelief.
Her opened lips quivered and shook in speechlessness as she kept staring at the scene dumbfoundedly.
"You! You! They! Them! How? A dream?!"
Cviyou's fingers pointed back and forth as her brain tried to convince her that what she was seeing was indeed right.
But how can this be?
Yes. She did believe that there was some magic in this world... Especially after seeing the talisman's work the way it did.
But seeing a puny flower that she could stump on at any time grow into a 7-foot giant right before her very naked eyeballs wasn't something anyone's brain can readily accept.
And sometimes, he liked drinking his favourite tapped white rum that was extracted and brewed in an old-fashioned way from the trees.
So after working for hours, he finally decided to have a breather and take a sip of his white rum.
But just after taking one sip, he seemed to be seeing things.
Eh?
Did he just see giant flowers running around, as well as the sight of a person behind them too?
Blink. Blink. Blink.
The man blinked again but found that in this split second, there was no such image before him.
Moreover, he couldn't hear the sounds of anyone running around the place.
The man looked at the jug of white rum in his hand silently.
He starts at the jug as if having a battle with it. And soon enough, he poured its contents out onto the land with a place expression on his face.
F***!
From today henceforth, he will never drink such a crazy thing again!
.
~Brrrrrrhhhhh
The wind blew ever so gently across Chiyou's face, which was shocking, considering the speed they were going.
But Chiyou already knew the reason for this.
Look at these giant Flowers? While dancing ahead, they kept clearing the air and space before him ever so quickly, as if they were ninjas blending in with their surroundings.
They used their massive, thick and powerful roots to swipe away any harmful things that might be coming their way, all the while watching her point and direct which way they had to go.
It was just too awesome!
Chiyou knew that after this experience if she ever spoke about this matter to someone, they would think her mad... Just like Alice in Wonderland.
Most likely, they would put her in the looney bin!
~Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Like so, the flower ninjas did their thing, and Dorian calmly followed them in silence until they finally reached a forest region close to Chiyou's home.
The home only had 9 other neighbouring homes around it on a low hill.
Each home had large enough space for poultry raising and private gardening.
Of course, the age wasn't just made up of these 9 households, as across the land, homes were scattered all over the place in clusters.
These were how villages here were.
Chiyou peeked at the beautiful scene of her home from within the bushes, feeling very determined.
"Grandmaster, we're here."
