Chapter 89: Chapter 71 Bi Fang

Luo Jun unabashedly praised the deliciousness of the Dried Tangerine Peel Tea made with his formula while enjoying his chat with Qu Jing and not completing the side quest honestly.

The old folks in the hall noticed that Luo Jun didn’t seem to cause trouble; he was genuinely here to prove his formula had no issues. Thus, they weren’t as focused on him as before.

They started chatting amongst themselves, and the tension eased, though they still remarked how Old Luo was becoming more eccentric with age.

Of course, no one left.

This was Old Luo’s first time leaving the house in 8 months and 13 days, so they had to sit by and watch the whole event, all the way until he got home.

Qu Jing was still trying to persuade Luo Jun to go to the hospital for a full check-up and not be stubborn.

Luo Jun downed the last sip of Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, feeling full from the tea, and impatiently said, "At my age, what’s there to check? If they find something serious and need surgery, would you even dare to operate?"

Then Luo Jun turned his attention to Chen Huihong: "Chen Huihong, what’s gotten into you today? You usually talk a lot. When you come to my place, I can hear you on the phone before you even reach the door. One would think you’re Wang Xifeng — heard before seen. Why aren’t you talking now?"

"Today’s your big day out, and I’m contemplating how to edit this good news for social media." Chen Huihong replied fluently.

Luo Jun: ...

Luo Jun set his bowl down: "Not interesting, I’m going back, the drama’s not finished yet."

With that, he stood up slowly, stubbornly walking himself out of the canteen.

Zhang Shumei followed, pushing a wheelchair. From a distance, it looked like an old man undergoing rehabilitation, somewhat touching.

Qu Jing glanced at the time, put on her hat and glasses, and told Chen Huihong: "Sister Hong, it’s getting late; I should head back to the hospital. If you have time, please help persuade Mr. Luo more, thanks."

Chen Huihong smiled: "Don’t worry, I’m free today; I’ll go to his place to talk to him later."

Qu Jing went to the window to bid farewell to Qin Huai, saw that the first batch of snacks was ready, and casually bought some, leaving satisfied with snacks in hand.

Having enjoyed the spectacle, the elderly spectators also queued up to buy snacks, spending heartily.

Qin Huai, noticing the snacks were selling much faster than usual today: ...

Incredible that Luo Jun even has a knack for marketing.

Seeing there weren’t many snacks left, Chen Huihong, as usual, bought out the rest, taking them to the neighborhood committee. Using Luo Jun’s rare outing as her excuse, she went to Qin Huai’s place with fruits to inquire about him.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Huihong called Qin Huai.

"Xiao Qin." Chen Huihong’s voice sounded normal, but Qin Huai detected something amiss.

"Things are a bit complicated."

"I think, if you have time now, you should come to Building A, Apartment 1704. Aunt Zhang has already been sent away."

Qin Huai: ?

Unsure of the situation but seeing that there wasn’t much to oversee with the snacks, just waiting for them to cook in time, Qin Huai delegated the work to Qin Congwen and packed the Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, originally reserved for the afternoon for Qin Luo, and headed to Building A, Apartment 1704.

When Qin Huai reached Building A, the security guard downstairs thought Master Qin was there to personally deliver takeout.

It was evident that Luo Jun’s fondness for the Dried Tangerine Peel Tea had reached the security staff.

After ringing the doorbell, it was Chen Huihong who opened the door.

Luo Jun stood behind her, looked up and down at Qin Huai: "Do you have a system?"

Qin Huai: ...

Really, are today’s protagonists that open about it?

Whose protagonist lets so many around them know about having a system?

Before Qin Huai could respond, Luo Jun slightly raised his chin with some pride: "I am Bi Fang."

Qin Huai’s response was silence.

Luo Jun: ?

Luo Jun sharply turned to Chen Huihong: "Didn’t you say he read the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Even I don’t know?!"

"He did read, but only a few pages, didn’t reach Bi Fang." Qin Huai responded by choosing humanity’s most valuable trait—honesty—then quickly tried to make amends.

"But I know about Bi Fang; I’ve seen it in a fantasy drama, looks like a beautiful big red bird."

Luo Jun felt like breathing fire to incinerate Qin Huai.

Luo Jun took a deep breath: "Firstly, I am blue."

"Secondly, I am the Divine Bird."

The word "Divine" was emphasized.

Having said that, Luo Jun didn’t spare another glance at Qin Huai, made his way to the sofa, and sat down.

"Sit yourself."

Qin Huai quietly handed over the Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, then sat down on the sofa next to Chen Huihong.

"Sister Hong, what’s the situation now?" Qin Huai asked quietly.

"Remember what I told you about when it’s easier to identify fellow spirits?" Chen Huihong asked.

Qin Huai nodded.

Chen Huihong looked at Luo Jun: "He is the situation I mentioned."

This means Luo Jun is in his first life during tribulation.

Qin Huai’s view of Luo Jun immediately changed, thinking how different a known Divine Beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas was, bold and confident. Chen Huihong’s first reincarnation took on the appearance of a young person, whereas Luo Jun’s first was a 92-year-old old man.

In modern times, with highly advanced technology and civilization, a 92-year-old old man feels safer; back in Chen Huihong’s first-life era, a 92-year-old elder would have been at high risk.

Seeing Qin Huai’s expression, Luo Jun knew he had misunderstood, and spoke up immediately: "My tastes aren’t that unique. When I started the tribulation 92 years ago, I was also young."

Qin Huai’s expression changed again.

Around the same time in tribulation, Plant Spirits only lasted 7 years, reincarnating to the fifth life; Bi Fang hadn’t ended the first life yet. Indeed, strength speaks for itself everywhere.

"So, spirits also age in their first life over time," Qin Huai marveled, noting it was a fact Chen Huihong hadn’t mentioned.

"I just learned this myself," Chen Huihong said, "We Plant Spirits don’t usually live long enough in our first life to get old."

"Spirits don’t age; only humans do," Luo Jun corrected, "And only you Plant Spirits fail the tribulation without even realizing it."

"From the moment the Heart Demon is born, the tribulation has already failed. Time begins to pass, Divine Power starts fading, and one either perishes unexpectedly or ages and dies like humans. Do Plant Spirits really not teach the basics before tribulation, just wing it?"

Chen Huihong chose to stay silent.

"But you Bai Gao... apart from not starving, you only have a bit of plant affinity, so not perceiving the loss of Divine Power is understandable." Luo Jun continued his species attack.

Chen Huihong belatedly realized: "We do have plant affinity."

Luo Jun: "... What else did you think allowed your fortune tree to survive months of daily noon watering without dying?"

Chen Huihong continued her delayed realizations: "No wonder I felt it went smoothly when I studied agriculture in my fourth life, and even as a child, relatives always praised my farming skills in the countryside. Makes sense now."

Luo Jun gritted his teeth, took a big gulp of cold tea to cool down.

Qin Huai had finished reading the information he just searched on Bi Fang.

Qin Huai even sneaked a glance at Luo Jun.

Bi Fang, Fire Crow, the Bird of Omens, a Wood Spirit metamorphosed, both God of Fire and God of Wood, the description alone proved powerful indeed.

What to say, as expected of the God of Fire.

Luo Jun’s temper is quite fiery.
