Walking into Heavenly Pool, all he saw in the very center of the water was a plot of land the size of a palm.

On the land, there was no house, only a single flower growing.

This was most likely the Zitang Flower. Xu Fan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, having thought it would take a long time to locate it. Unexpectedly, the Zitang Flower was situated right in the middle of the water in Banan's Heavenly Pool.

However, the flower petals of the Zitang Flower were closed and not blooming, which made Xu Fan frown incessantly.

According to Senior Qu's meaning, the Zitang Flower had to be picked in its blooming state to be effective; otherwise, picking it would be useless!

The Zitang Flower wasn't blooming at all, which was causing Xu Fan to become somewhat anxious!

Did he really have to wait for it to bloom? If so, could Xia Xiaodie hold on till then?

"Some flowers only bloom at specific times. Let's wait, maybe this Zitang Flower will bloom at night,"

At that moment, Xia Yanyu reminded herself.

Listening, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Hmm, okay, let's not rush it. Let's look around and see if we can spot the Jade Toad nearby."

Since the Zitang Flower was growing right in the center of Heavenly Pool, Xu Fan wasn't worried about it flying away. It was daytime and the Zitang Flower wasn't blooming; perhaps the evening would bring a surprise. Thereupon, he led Xia Yanyu and searched around the nearby grass and woods.

However, the result was disappointing. Xu Fan and Xia Yanyu searched until it was dark and still did not find the so-called Jade Toad.

The two of them searched meticulously, almost like a carpet search. They did find a few common toads, but the Jade Toad?

No trace of it!

By now, the sky had completely darkened, and Xu Fan returned to the side of Heavenly Pool with Xia Yanyu.

Xu Fan sighed, feeling a bit down.

It was already dark, the day was almost over, and he hadn't gotten his hands on either of the two items...

"Xu Fan."

"Hmm?"

Xia Yanyu, sitting beside Xu Fan, called out softly. Seeing Xu Fan looking towards her, her cheeks blushed slightly as she pointed at the Heavenly Pool and said, "We've searched all around already. If the clues are correct, I guess the Jade Toad should be in this pool."

"What! What are you doing!"

No sooner had Xia Yanyu finished speaking than Xu Fan, who was sitting next to her, stood up, abruptly stripping off his clothes, revealing an upper body covered in fierce scars over his six-pack abs.

"Uh, I'm taking off my clothes, what else?"

Xu Fan, confused, said to Xia Yanyu, who was somewhat blushing at this point.

Since the Jade Toad was inside Heavenly Pool, of course, he needed to strip down to swim and catch it...

"Wu."

All of a sudden! Xu Fan's expression changed, and he quickly squatted down, covering Xia Yanyu's mouth with one hand!

"Shh, don't speak. There's a noise!"

At that moment, Xu Fan, fearing to startle the creature that had surfaced from Heavenly Pool, tightly clung to Xia Yanyu, not daring to make the slightest move!

Feeling the male scent emanating from Xu Fan, Xia Yanyu's body softened a bit. She stealthily glanced at Xu Fan on top of her, her cheeks slowly turning red.

Xu Fan did not notice these reactions; his eyes were wholly focused on the Jade Toad on the surface of the water.

The toad was roughly the size of a palm, its entire body a jade-like shimmering green color that faintly glowed under the starlight

It had surfaced and was now slowly moving toward the still unopened purple begonia flower at the center of Banan's Heavenly Pool.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Xu Fan's mind, that perhaps this Jade Toad was the guardian of this purple begonia flower.

The Jade Toad's size was already far beyond that of a common toad, and it might even be highly poisonous. Xu Fan frowned, realizing that capturing this creature would be no small feat...

He hadn't noticed that Xia Yanyu, the soft and fragrant warmth in his arms, was too afraid to stir for fear of alarming the Jade Toad.

He guessed that for the purple begonia flower to bloom, it might just need this Jade Toad!

Soon, the Jade Toad had reached the center of the Heavenly Pool, now squatting next to the purple begonia flower, puffing its cheeks, and began to croak!

At that moment, an astonishing scene unfolded!

The drooping bud of the purple begonia flower, under the Jade Toad's low croaking, gradually stood upright, as if awakened by the call of the Jade Toad!

The tightly closed purple bud, like a sleeping beauty, gradually stretched its waist, revealing its restrained beauty under the moonlight and starlight!

As the Jade Toad's croaking continued, the purple begonia flower slowly bloomed, its thin, cicada-wing-like light purple petals trembling slightly in the night breeze, enchantingly beautiful under the moonlight and starlight!

Lying in Xu Fan's arms, Xia Yanyu saw such a beautiful flower for the first time, her eyes sparkling, her heart irresistibly stirred.

So beautiful!

Even from such a distance, Xia Yanyu could still smell the fragrance of the purple begonia flower wafting over.

The evening breeze gently caressed her, and Xia Yanyu's vision flashed with countless images, as if revealing her future.

She saw her missing father, saw the rise of the Xia Family...

These visions flashed before her eyes, and finally, Xu Fan appeared in her vision!

How is this possible!

The surrounding scenes clearly showed a church, and in the vision, she was no longer in light dress, but in a wedding gown!

Could she really marry... marry Xu Fan?

Or was this just the expectation she had always held in her heart...

This vision excited Xia Yanyu as much as it made her disbelieving, recalling everything she had experienced with Xu Fan, her cheeks turned a continual red.

Feelings bloomed in her heart, and in a moment of infatuation, Xia Yanyu's lips parted and she leaned forward towards Xu Fan, who was holding her.

"Wake up!"

Just then, a sharp cry was heard! Startled, Xia Yanyu came to her senses and saw Zhang Yang holding her, immediately feeling extremely shy and hastily drilled out of Xu Fan's embrace.

"What just happened..."

After a moment, Xia Yanyu asked.

Xu Fan furrowed his brow, explaining, "The pollen from the purple begonia flower must be poisonous and is likely causing hallucinations..."

Earlier, Xu Fan had also been enchanted by the pollen of the purple begonia flower, seeing some strange visions. However, his cultivation level was higher than Xia Yanyu's, so he naturally came to his senses faster.

At that moment, Xu Fan's sharp shout had also completely startled the Jade Toad! It now stood beside the blooming purple begonia flower, croaking and posturing threateningly at them as if to tell them to scram immediately.

Xu Fan sighed, steadied himself, and said, "There's no time to lose, this purple begonia flower has just bloomed, we must pick it quickly. I'll deal with this Jade Toad, you help me pluck the flower!"

Xia Yanyu nodded her head, not quite sure why she agreed so readily, perhaps because it was a request from Xu Fan.
