At the time when Yun Rong was eating her fill, two young ladies" voices could be heard coming from before her, "Have you seen the peach blossoms at the backyard of the hotel?"
"I"ve seen it ah, it"s very beautiful. Last time when I went on a trip to the village, there was also a peach blossom forest. But it didn"t flower as beautifully as the ones here. The ones here are so big and densely-cl.u.s.tered together, just like a ball of flowers."
"Look at this." One of the young ladies stealthily took out a brown thing from her bag.
The other young lady frowned and asked: "Aiyah, why did you break off the peach tree branch!"
The lady who broke off a small piece of the peach branch sighed, faint melancholy appeared on her face. She replied, "Everyone said that all living things have spirits, you told me that peach blossoms usually flower on the third or fourth month. Right now it"s August but they are already flowering. Doesn"t this mean that it"s especially effective ah? I broke a small piece of peach branch, perhaps I will have luck with men… Perhaps senior could pay attention to me."
"The fastest way for senior to notice you is for you to confess!"Another lady sitting opposite her impatiently poked her forehead. "Being secretly in love for two years and didn"t confess, then placing your hope on a branch? I think you are not thinking properly!"
"I don"t dare, okay!" The young lady with the peach branch pursed her lips and replied hesitantly.
"What dare or not dare, if you don"t confess, next year senior is graduating and at that time, will you still have any chance?" The young lady who persuaded her earlier clearly had a decisive personality. Her eyes shone brightly as she continued: "The school will start in a few days, you prepare well and confess once it opens. Whether you can or cannot, you have to settle it. If it doesn"t turn out as you wish, there are still many good men in the school. Just find another one."
The other young lady showed hesitation on her face. When her friend had finished persuading her, she looked at the peach branch on her hand. With hesitation, she slowly but firmly got up. Clenching her teeth, she looked as if she had decided something of great importance.
The distance of the two people"s table was not that far and they had deliberately lowered their voices. But Yun Rong and Gou Da Qing"s hearing ability wasn"t like ordinary people"s, so they heard this dialogue very clearly.
Yun Rong didn"t show any expression on her face but, on the contrary, Gou Da Qing showed fear after hearing that. He cautiously said: "Senior Yun, these young human ladies are not sensible. You don"t have to bother about them." The demon race were defensive towards their own race. Yun Rong"s body was the peach tree1. At the moment, seeing others breaking off a peach tree branch, he was afraid that she would become unhappy.
"Why should I bother?" The words said were without any basis, and for a moment, Yun Rong couldn"t understand. She lifted her head to see and was just in time to glimpse the peach branch in the hand of the young lady sitting in front. The surface of the peach branch had a weak green spiritual aura.
"In these two days, all the peach trees at the back of the hotel blossomed. The guests and staff members of the hotel all feel it"s strange and often go to see. There are so many people taking a look that it"s unavoidable for some people to pluck the peach blossoms. For this branch, senior please don"t take offense." Gou Da Qing explained what he meant.
"No, it"s okay." Hearing this, Yun Rong understood the matter. It was still the problem of her spiritual aura overflowing. She was the mountain G.o.d from Dan Qiu Mountain. With her position, the spiritual aura of the whole mountain was connected to her whole body. So to say, wherever she was, it was hard to keep the spiritual aura from escaping even though she had meticulously tried to restrain it. Those bits that came out had nevertheless made the vegetation at Haijin hotel flourish.
As the two were talking, the aura of the peach branch came over along with the young lady"s wish.
"I wish I will succeed in my confession and become senior"s girlfriend!"
Yun Rong heard the honest prayer of the young lady and was stunned. After thinking about it, she extended her hand and a spot of green light went into the young lady"s body. Since she had heard it, it could be counted as fate. Then, she might as well fulfill the young lady"s wish.
After she was done, Yun Rong lowered her head and, with her chopsticks, brought the already peeled emperor crab"s leg meat into her mouth. Then she showed a satisfied smile.
The young lady wasn"t aware that the peach branch she carried with her had received the blessings of the mountain G.o.d. And so, her wish would definitely come true.
Yun Rong also didn"t know, the young lady never doubted that the peach branch was the one that gave her good luck. She successfully confessed and had her wish come true. Afterwards, she even specially returned to Haijing Hotel to fulfill her promise to bring many of her friends over. Thus Haijing Hotel"s peach trees slowly turned into marriage trees.

After Lu Hua Nian sent Gu Yuan Yuan to kindergarten, she returned to the Lu residence. At this time, Jiang Shu Hua was having tea in the garden. She saw her daughter coming over from the distance and got a scare, nearly spilling the cup of tea she was holding. She commented: "You, this girl, did you get an injection? How many times have I told you not to get those injections! As you get older, then problems will start to come out due to those."
"I didn"t get any injection, your daughter is a natural beauty!" Although Lu Hua Nian was over 30 years old, as the Lu family"s only daughter and the husband"s childhood sweetheart, her temper was very lively. Together with her being happy, her words were full of delight.
Could she be unhappy? In the morning, Yuan Yuan praised that her mama looked like a fairy.
"You are already a mom, yet still speak this way." Jiang Shu Hua turned away from her daughter.
"What can"t be said? You are my mom, what can"t I say to you?"Lu Hua Nian sat beside Jiang Shu Hua. Leaning close to her mother, she said: "Ma, you see, what has changed from me?"
When mother Jiang heard this, she really approached her daughter to look carefully at her. If she didn"t see properly, she wouldn"t know. Yet after looking, she was startled and said with amazement: "When you came over two days ago, it wasn"t like this. I didn"t see you only for a day, how did your skin become so good? Did the beauty salon launch a new treatment?"
"No, ma, I want to tell you this. Do you believe that I merely ate a Chinese herb?" Lu Hua Nian was even more proud of herself and raised her eyebrows.
1: Gou Da Qing thinks that Yun Rong is a peach tree demon, in which case the peach trees would represent her body. Breaking a branch could then be seen as an offense to her body/person, and I don"t know if some major damge to the peach trees would cause her any damage in that case. Though this is all my guessing/interpretation,.
