"What kind of flower is a stone skeleton flower?" The companion of the passerby asked.
"The stone skeleton flower"
The passerby excitedly shared about the uses of the stone skeleton flower to his companion, but did not know that everyone around them had heard him as well. Now that they had all heard about the powers of this mythical treasure, none of them were going to leave, and stared beyond the cliff with a fiery gaze, thinking about whether or not they could find the stone skeleton flower.
"Older brother, these snow wolves are strong, should we battle them?" Yun Feng asked Yun Yi, not blinded by the appeal of the stone skeleton flower.
Yun Yi did not reply, but simply looked at Sima You Yue. Sima You Yue found that rather bewildering, but realised later than since Yun Yi is from the Divine Devil Valley, he would have to wait for her commands or suggestions before taking action.
"Don't be bothered by me. Just do what you see fit." She shrugged, saying.
"Does Young Master not wish to battle it out?" Yun Yi asked.
"Don't call me Young Master, just call me You Yue." Sima You Yue waved her hands. She was not used to someone calling her that. "This is an outstanding treasure, and naturally everyone would want to own something like that. But there's no need to be bothered by what I think. Everyone plays a part, so it belongs to whoever gets it first."
Although the Yun family was aware that Sima You Yue was the young master of the Divine Devil Valley, they had actually never believed in her strength or power. Especially since she was from the Yi Lin Continent, and whatever powers that could come out from that Continent could not be far off from the powers that could be seen from their own land.
And even if Yun Yi felt that way deep inside his heart, Sima You Yue was still the young master of the Divine Devil Valley. And if he ran into trouble, he would still have to lend him assistance.
Only the Guo family members believed that Sima You Yue was not boasting about her powers, but that they did indeed have the power to fight.
"Yue Yue, why don't you let me help you dig out that stone skeleton flower?" Ling Long tugged on Sima You Yue's hair, saying.
"Are you confident?" Sima You Yue asked in her head.
"Of course!" Ling Long thumped a fist on its chest, saying. "Just wait for me here. I'll snatch that stone skeleton flower for you."
It has always seen Little Roar and the rest do things for Sima You Yue while in the Spirit Pavilion, and has always wanted to do something to get a feel of its own sense of existence. And since an opportunity has shown itself, it must now do well to make an impression.
"Be careful, then." Sima You Yue said.
Since it was decided that she should just watch, Sima You Yue brought a few of them to find a resting place to sit, while the Guo and Yun families discussed together what to do, thinking about how they might snatch the stone skeleton flower for themselves amongst the horde of others who wanted to do the same.
As half the day passed, the snow wolf at the peak of the mountain suddenly got up and cried out loudly as if crying out into the sky. At the same time, an even stronger wave of the fragrance drifted past their noses.
"The stone skeleton flower has blossomed completely." Sima You Yue said. "You be careful, Ling Long. Don't get hurt. If you can't handle it do call for us."
"I know, Yue Yue! Just leave it to me!" Ling Long said, and took flight, prepared to leave at any time.
"The flower has bloomed!" Everyone around, even those far away, looked towards the cliff and saw the white petals that had suddenly appeared and cried out excitedly.
The stone skeleton flower and the rocks were pretty much of the same colour, just that the centre of the flower was white as well, and stood out compared to the rest of the cliff.
