Chapter 130 Clue Sharing
Because he was in a hurry, Tang Zijun did not inform Mr. Qingnang beforehand and went directly to the flower shop with the hyacinth.
The hyacinth did not resist, appearing to accept its fate.
Tang Zijun wasn't sure if he had established a basic level of trust with her; he always felt that this little girl was "silly".
If there's any benefit to becoming the ruler of the Reversal World, then using the reflective mirror to travel through various spaces is definitely the greatest advantage. Tang Zijun didn't dare to show these abilities before, but now that his identity is half revealed, he's become more open.
Even so, he would still try his best not to frighten the other party when he traveled through time.
Tang Zijun values other people's privacy. After all, nobody likes being spied on, and even less likes having someone suddenly pop out in the mirror while they are doing something private.
So even though Tang Zijun was certain that Mr. Qingnang was not at the front desk of the flower shop, he still chose to come here.
The flower shop is Mr. Qingnang's domain. Every plant displayed here is his eyeball, and he believes that he has already attracted her attention the moment he arrives. This can be considered another way of greeting her.
Seemingly sensing the rich natural energy, Hyacinth's spirits were no longer as low as before. She looked around curiously, her face full of surprise.
Returning to the flower shop, Tang Zijun didn't notice any changes. The room was still filled with flowers, and even the hidden dangers lurking in the plants remained the same.
"Hiss."
Just as Tang Zijun was hesitating about whether to move a chair, a faint crawling sound reached his ears.
Looking back, I saw a large snake coiled up among the spider plants overhead. Because of its similar color, it was easy to miss if you didn't look closely.
"Hello, Xiaoqing," Tang Zijun greeted.
"Only Sister Tan can call me Little Green, hiss." The little green snake flicked its tongue and stretched its neck with a complicated expression.
Although it was confirmed that the person in front of her was not an enemy, it was still a bit difficult for her to accept that her former mortal enemy had become an ally. Looking at Tang Zijun, who was wearing armor, the little green snake's eyes were somewhat gloomy.
"Were the scars on your body left by the greedy?"
Tang Zijun had wanted to ask this before: it was clearly a delicate and beautiful little snake, but it had a hideous scar at the corner of its eye, which was like disfigurement and almost unacceptable to ordinary people.
What caught Tang Zijun's attention was that he sensed the aura of a greedy person on the other person's scars, though faint, it was very obvious.
"What's it to you?" The little green snake turned its head away, hiding the scar where Tang Zijun couldn't see it.
Everyone loves beauty, even snakes are no exception. Although she didn't sense any malice in Tang Zijun's tone, she still felt that the other party was being sarcastic.
Just then, a gentle voice came from the stairs leading to the second floor.
"Since being severely injured by the Greedy One, Xiaoqing has been left with this scar. I have tried many ways to remove it, but the Greedy One's power is very strange, and even my magic is of no use."
Tang Zijun turned her head and looked around. The first thing that caught her eye was a pair of slender, white feet wearing bamboo shoes. Looking up, her long legs were straight but not taut.
Tan Zhixin must have just finished showering. She was wearing a bathrobe, her long hair was tied up with a white towel, and her cheeks were still a little rosy.
The moment their eyes met, Tang Zijun immediately looked away. "I've only heard that the Mirror Core has the ability to improve beauty; perhaps it can even remove scars."
"The Mirror Core is indeed true. The Mirror Core and the Greedy One are of the same origin. Using the Greedy One's energy to eliminate the Greedy One's energy is indeed a method."
Tan Zhixin took a step, gently treading the stairs, holding the handrail with one hand, her eyes fixed on Tang Zijun.
After a pause, she smiled and shook her head.
"But while I appreciate your good intentions, you may not know that the scar was left by a greedy cadre. To repair it, at least a cadre-level mirror core would be needed."
"I'm talking about cadre level," Tang Zijun said, raising her head. "Are high-ranking cadres enough?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixin's eyes flickered slightly. She had initially thought Qin Nan was just saying it casually, but now, seeing Tang Zijun's "wealthy and powerful" demeanor, her opinion of the other party rose considerably.
Tan Zhixin knew, of course, that Tang Zijun's actions were an expression of goodwill towards her, but there was no denying that she truly appreciated them.
Since reaching a cooperation agreement with Tang Zijun last time, Tan Zhixin had discussed this matter with Xiaoqing. For the magical girl camp, allying with the greedy is a historic move.
This applies to anyone. Tan Zhixin could imagine what other magical girls would do after learning about this, but she would not regret her decision.
Based on their current interactions, Tang Zijun is not entirely trustworthy, but at least he hasn't lied, which is already a good start.
However, Tan Zhixin herself hesitated to accept the other party's kindness based solely on this.
So after a moment of silence, she smiled and changed the subject.
"Mr. Wolf Rider, you've come to me in such a hurry so late, I'm afraid it's not for Xiao Qing, is it? Aren't you going to introduce the person behind you?"
Standing in Mr. Qingnang's plant domain, it was impossible for Hyacinth to hide; she was discovered the moment she appeared.
So after hearing Tan Zhixin's words, Hyacinth cautiously peeked out from behind Tang Zijun's shoulder armor.
It has to be said that the transformation refresh setting of Kamen Rider is a wonderful mechanism for Tang Zijun. No matter what was on the armor before, as long as the transformation is canceled, all of that stuff will disappear.
Now that he has transformed again, his armor is as good as new, and he doesn't need to care about the disgusting slime from before. Otherwise, Hyacinth wouldn't have been hiding behind his shoulder armor.
Noticing the hyacinth's appearance, which was completely different from that of conventional intelligent life, Tan Zhixin couldn't help but be somewhat surprised, even though she had prepared herself mentally.
"Could this be...?"
"Her name is Hyacinth, a flower fairy from the Tree Crown Royal City." Tang Zijun took two steps forward and came to the tea table. "Just as you guessed, this is the race that Grandfather Qin Nan recorded in his diary."
Hyacinth was still relatively unfamiliar with Mr. Qingnang and Xiaoqing, so she was a little scared. However, she could feel the natural energy emanating from the woman in front of her, which made her feel very comfortable.
"It's actually true." Tan Zhixin murmured, then turned her head and poured three cups of flower tea.
She placed the first cup in front of Tang Zijun, even though she knew he didn't drink (he hadn't drunk any last time), but she still had to be polite. Then she placed the second cup in front of Hyacinth.
"Hello, Hyacinth, I am the magical girl from the mountain city. You can call me Mr. Qingnang."
The latest novel is first published here!
"Magical girl?" Hyacinth was startled by the pot of tea in front of her, but she quickly focused her attention on the new vocabulary.
"Don't you know?"
Tan Zhixin paused, her hand holding the teacup still, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Both being benefactors of nature, just as the hyacinth could sense the magic within the Qingnang Master, Tan Zhixin could also sense the natural energy emanating from the hyacinth.
She had assumed the other person would know about magical girls, or at least have heard of them, but she hadn't expected Hyacinth's reaction to be so strange.
"Don't overthink it. Hyacinths are creatures from a secret realm. Their kind left the real world at the end of the mythical era, so it's normal that they don't know about your existence," Tang Zijun explained.
But the doubt in Tan Zhixin's eyes deepened. "Gods, the era of mythology?"
"My reaction was even stronger than yours when I first heard about it," Tang Zijun said, shrugging. "But judging from the current situation, it seems that you and I aren't the only ones in this world with extraordinary abilities."
Tan Zhixin stared at Tang Zijun for a while, then smiled and leaned back lazily in her chair.
"Mr. Wolf Rider, every visit you make brings me a new shock. I just managed to repair my worldview a couple of days ago."
"You seem to have accepted it quite quickly."
Tang Zijun pursed her lips, subconsciously picked up the teacup, paused, and then put it back on the table.
"Let's get down to business. Our concerns are valid. The heretics have already begun their attack. Sir Skeleton has sent people to corrupt the roots of the Tree of Life from the real world, and many Flower Fairies have already been persecuted. The situation in the Canopy City is dire. The Canopy City is the home of the Hyacinths."
Tan Zhixin couldn't help but admire Tang Zijun's swift action, but on the surface, she put away her smile and looked at the hyacinth with a serious expression.
"Ms. Hyacinth, could you tell me more about the situation over there?"
Hyacinth was still wondering what race magical girls were when she heard Tan Zhixin's words and immediately came back to her senses.
After a long silence, she nodded slightly.
"After the roots of the Tree of Life were corroded, the outer barrier of the Tree Crown Royal City was broken. Now the only thing that can protect us is the Heart of Life, but that shouldn't last much longer."
"The Heart of Life?"
It's another new name, but this time, Mr. Qingnang helped Tang Zijun ask the question first.
"The Heart of Life is the source of power of the Tree of Life and a sacred object of our race. It not only represents the lifeline of our people, but is also the embodiment of the Tree of Life."
Perhaps it was because of the natural energy emanating from Master Qingnang, but Hyacinth's attitude towards her was noticeably better than her attitude towards Chang Lei.
Although it was their first time meeting, they looked like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Listening quietly to Hyacinth's story, Tan Zhixin tilted her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
"I understand. The Heart of Life must be similar to the Rainbow Crystal Flower in the hands of a magical girl when it comes to the Tree of Life."
