Sunset Forest, Epiphyllum Does Not Bloom

After saying that, Tang San and Xiao Wu left ahead of the others. Everyone was puzzled, unable to understand why Tang San and Xiao Wu wanted to walk.

Three days later, at the entrance to Sunset Forest, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already waited two days for Su Yu and the others. It would have taken them only one day to reach Sunset Forest even on foot, yet Su Yu and the others, riding Erha—the fastest animal on the Douluo Continent—had somehow taken three whole days to get there.

After arriving at Sunset Forest, Dai Mubai and the others stared gloomily at Tang San and Xiao Wu. Ma Hongjun looked like he wanted to cry. "Third Brother, why didn’t you tell us earlier that Dog Ge has no sense of direction…?"

"This was more than having no sense of direction. He couldn’t even tell left from right… He was adorably stupid, okay?" Oscar said with a deadened expression.

Over the past three days, they had ridden Erha around Sunset Forest three times. They were practically nauseous from the ride. Fortunately, while making the fourth lap, Erha finally found the entrance to Sunset Forest. Otherwise, they definitely would have jumped off the dog—er, vehicle.

Tang San chuckled. "But you were the ones who wanted to ride Erha. Don’t blame me."

Dai Mubai swore, "I swear, I’ll never ride Erha again for the rest of my life."

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. Hearing that, Erha gave an unhappy snort ╯^╰. As if I wanted you people riding me in the first place.

"Let’s go in. We’ll try our best to find suitable Soul Rings for all of you in Sunset Forest," Su Yu said, waving his hand.

With that, Su Yu headed into Sunset Forest, and eight people and one dog immediately followed him.

After entering Sunset Forest, Su Yu looked around with no interest at the Soul Beasts that were merely ten or a hundred years old. Suddenly, he smiled at the others. "How about we go straight to the core area of Sunset Forest? I still haven’t visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Since we’re here, we might as well take a look."

Tang San had stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the past half year. Although everyone could visit Tang San, he would always leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to meet them elsewhere in Sunset Forest. After all, Dugu Bo did not want a group of people casually entering his treasured territory.

Everyone rolled their eyes at Su Yu. They had come to find Soul Rings, not to have fun. Although following Su Yu into the core area of Sunset Forest would not be dangerous, they still felt somewhat afraid of Soul Beasts that were tens of thousands of years old. After all, Sunset Forest had ten or twenty such Soul Beasts.

"No. If you want to go, go by yourself," Xiao Wu refused without hesitation.

Su Yu sighed and waved his hand. "You people are no fun. Wouldn’t it be more fun if we went together? Maybe we could even swipe two or three immortal-grade herbs."

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo suddenly sneezed.

"Anyway, we’re not going. Yu Ge, we aren’t like you. We can’t beat up a Titled Douluo," Ma Hongjun said.

Su Yu smiled. "Fine, then. Erha will stay behind to protect you. I’ll be leaving first."

After saying that, Su Yu vanished directly.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Dugu Bo was watering his treasured herbs when Su Yu suddenly appeared in front of him, nearly scaring him into wetting himself. Dugu Bo said in a trembling voice, "Y-you-you-you, why are you here? I haven’t done anything bad."

"Why are you so afraid of me? I’m not a tiger. I’m not going to eat you," Su Yu said helplessly.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Su Yu. You crippled me with two shots. If I’m not afraid of you, who should I be afraid of? Even the strongest Titled Douluo could exchange one or two moves with me, but when it came to you, I was just outright beaten down.

"Why did you come here?" Dugu Bo asked.

Su Yu waved his hand. "For nothing. I just came to admire the scenery. I haven’t visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before. Since I happened to pass by, of course I had to come in and take a look."

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Su Yu was not here to cause trouble for him, it was fine. "Then look all you want, but don’t steal my herbs."

Su Yu said disdainfully, "You think I’d care about your lousy weeds?"

"These are immortal-grade herbs!" Dugu Bo said angrily when he heard Su Yu call his treasures lousy weeds.

"Fine, fine, immortal-grade herbs, immortal-grade herbs. Anyway, they’re no different from ordinary grass to me."

Dugu Bo was so angry that he ignored Su Yu and left directly.

Su Yu did not care about Dugu Bo either. He came alone to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A hot spring and an icy spring lay before him, and Su Yu placed one hand into each pool.

Su Yu immediately felt one side scorching hot and the other freezing cold. If anyone else had done what Su Yu did, they would have been finished by now.

"Heaven of ice and fire. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really is a good place," Su Yu praised.

In truth, Su Yu did not understand a thing. He simply thought it was impressive that a spring of extreme heat and an ice spring of extreme cold were placed together.

Su Yu wandered around the area. Suddenly, he came upon a flower. He immediately stepped in front of it, narrowed his eyes, and rubbed his chin. "This flower looks familiar… Right, it’s an epiphyllum."

Su Yu touched the epiphyllum. It had not bloomed yet and looked like nothing more than an ordinary flower. It did not emit even the slightest aura of an immortal-grade herb.

Su Yu sent his divine sense into it and immediately saw a tiny, tiny baby inside the epiphyllum. He had never seen such a situation before, nor had he ever heard it mentioned on the Douluo Continent. He immediately looked toward Dugu Bo and shouted, "Old man, old man, where did this flower come from?"

Although Dugu Bo was furious at being called old man by Su Yu, there was nothing he could do. He could not beat him.

Dugu Bo came over to Su Yu’s side, looked at the epiphyllum Su Yu was touching, and said, "Oh, you mean this? I don’t know where it came from either. The area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is full of immortal-grade herbs, except for it. I don’t know what kind of flower it is. It looks like an ordinary flower, but it isn’t ordinary, because it never blooms!"

"It never blooms? Are you sure? Maybe you just didn’t see it when it bloomed?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.

Dugu Bo shook his head. "Impossible. When I discovered that this flower was unusual, I spent seven days and seven nights watching it every month for all twelve months of the year. During those seven days and seven nights, I did nothing but stare at this flower. But after observing it for a whole year, it never bloomed."

Su Yu rubbed his chin and smiled. Now this was interesting. Although Su Yu had never seen a real epiphyllum bloom, there was a saying about the fleeting bloom of an epiphyllum. An epiphyllum definitely could bloom.

Su Yu then remembered Little Ya inside the Divine Core and immediately contacted her through the Divine Core. "Ya Er, do you know what’s going on with this epiphyllum?"

Writing the author’s note was more tiring than writing the novel.
