I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 328
328 Bird of Paradise (2)
Find something? Jiang Beiran turned around and asked Mo Xia.
Mo Xia, who was holding the chessboard, stopped and nodded.””I also want to play a game of chess with Senior Brother.”
“Next time. I have something to do later.”
“Then…Can Zi Shi do it? Or ugly? I can wait for you to finish your business.”
Looking at Mo Xia’s pitiful eyes, Jiang Beiran sighed and said,””Wait for me at Blue Heart Loft at midnight.”
!!
“Alright!” Mo Xia nodded repeatedly.”
“Okay, let’s go back.” Jiang Beiran then turned around and continued walking toward the Water Mirror Hall.
Arriving at the entrance of Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, Jiang Beiran reached out and knocked twice. However, when he opened the door, he realized that the person standing at the door was not Little Duo, but Shi Fenglan.
“Shi Tang…”
“Come in, come in.”
Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to ask what was going on, Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran’s hand and ran into the hall.
“Slow down, slow down. What’s going on?”Jiang Beiran asked as he ran.
“Just follow me.”
Pulling Jiang Beiran all the way to the side hall, Shi Fenglan pointed at a large box in the middle and said,””Guess what’s inside?”
“Good heavens, a wooden box?”
The wood was a kind of wood with an excellent effect of sealing. No matter what kind of natural treasure was stored in it, it could ensure that the spiritual energy would not leak out, as if it was freshly picked.
Naturally, such good materials were not cheap either. Even Jiang Beiran only had a few small bottles made of wood. As for a box made of wood, it was his first time seeing one.
‘Tycoons are inhumane…’
Jiang Beiran sighed inwardly and used his spiritual power to sense the contents of the box.
‘Hiss… What is this feeling?
As soon as Jiang Beiran’s Spiritual Power seeped into the box, he felt a mysterious sensation. It was difficult to describe what it was with words, as if it was changing at any moment.
“I don’t know.” Jiang Beiran shook his head.
“Guess, guess!” Shi Fenglan said while jumping around.
“Wu ~” She puffed up her cheeks. Shi Fenglan knew that since Jiang Beiran had already said that she wouldn’t guess, it would be useless no matter how she acted coquettishly. It would only have the opposite effect.
‘Hmph, when you see what’s in the box, you’ll definitely…Hehehe.
Snickering inwardly, Shi Fenglan bent down to unbuckle the box. The moment the lid was opened, Jiang Beiran could smell a strange fragrance wafting into his nose.
“What’s this smell?”
Jiang Beiran, who had never smelled such a fragrance before, was immediately intrigued. He had roamed the sea of flowers for so many years, but he had never smelled such a unique scent.
“Dang dang dang dang ~”
Shi Fenglan opened the box completely and showed the contents to Jiang Beiran.
Jiang Beiran looked at the box and saw a strange flower that was emitting a faint light. Its leaves were orange, and it grew from a very short stem on the ground in a stacking pattern. It was arranged on both sides and had a long handle. The shape of the flower was very strange, like a fire phoenix that was about to spread its wings and soar.
Jiang Beiran searched through the knowledge bank in his brain, but he still didn’t know what the flower was called.
Looking at Jiang Beiran’s shocked expression, Shi Fenglan was obviously very pleased with herself. She put her hands on her hips and raised her head.”Hehe, powerful, right? This is called the Bird of Paradise, and it’s ranked eighth on the Wondrous Flower Rankings.”
“Paradise Bird?”
Jiang Beiran’s eyes widened once again. He had seen this name on the List of Rare Treasures before and knew that it could be ranked in the top 500.
One had to know that the Rare Index recorded all the rare treasures in the entire Black Dragon Continent. To be able to appear on such a level of ranking was already extremely rare, let alone being ranked in the top 500.
“Hehe, awesome, right? Amazing, right? Isn’t it amazing?”
Shi Fenglan asked as she ran circles around Jiang Beiran.
“Where is this?” Jiang Beiran asked.
“Don’t worry about that. Do you like it?”
“Yes, I do.” Jiang Beiran nodded and admitted.
“As long as you keep playing with me this month, I’ll give it to you, okay?”
As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Agree to Shi Fenglan’s request. [Completion Reward: Dragon Severing Forbidden Manual (Earth Grade High-Rank)]
[Option 2: Refuse Shi Fenglan. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]
‘Good fellow…High-level Earth Grade is okay.
Without hesitation, Jiang Beiran picked the second option and said,””Not good.”
[Mission completed. Reward: Alchemy +1]
“Why?” Shi Fenglan pouted and shouted.
“It’s not good. Do you think I’m the kind of person who would be tempted by treasures?”
“Didn’t you take my Soul Baby Fruit last time?”
Last time, last time, last time
“Then what’s the difference this time?”
“If I say it’s different, it’s different. Hurry up and put it away. Be careful not to be robbed.”After saying that, he was about to leave the side hall.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to leave, Shi Fenglan grabbed his hand and said,””If you don’t like this, I’ll help you find something else. Just play with me for a month.”
Sighing, Jiang Beiran turned around and said,””Don’t worry. Even if you don’t give me this, I’ll come and play with you often in the future. Didn’t you notice that I’ve been coming back often these past two days?”
“Really?” Shi Fenglan asked with her eyes wide open.
“It’s true.”
“But you might not play with me when you come back…”
“Of course, I still have my own things to do.”After saying that, he immediately added,”Don’t say that you’ll help me. If you say that, I won’t come.””
Shi Fenglan, who was about to open her mouth, immediately shut it and nodded.””Alright then…”
