Chapter 286 Glowing Light
Lin Yi's Griffin Shaka is a purebred Golden Griffin, and even among the King Griffins, he is renowned and ranks among the top.
Therefore, Shaka is intelligent and perceptive, and extremely human-like. He can not only understand Lin Yi's instructions, but can even assist his master in achieving complex desires.
Before setting off, Lin Yi told Shaka that when they passed through Heli, he would pick a bunch of the most famous sunset glow in Heli as a gift for his wife.
As its name suggests, the rosy dawn flower is as vibrant as the morning glow, resembling a blazing cloud. It's abundant and inexpensive in Heli, but for people elsewhere, it's priceless.
Because it has a unique characteristic: it will wither and turn to ashes instantly once it leaves Heli's territory.
Lin Yi had been planning this for a long time; he was determined to let Jiang Yu see this extremely beautiful flower with her own eyes.
So as soon as it arrived in Heli's territory, Shaka couldn't wait to find the valley where the rosy clouds were in full bloom. Now it had obviously fulfilled its master's expectations and was eagerly sending out signals.
That's why Lin Yi suddenly jumped off the celestial carriage; after all, the longer he hesitated, the less time he would have to appreciate the beauty.
Jiang Yu didn't have to wait long before the door to the room was opened from the outside.
She was about to lash out with a gloomy face when she was dazzled by a burst of morning light. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a bouquet of flowers in full, dazzling bloom.
So this was the surprise Lin Yi was talking about; he went down there to pick flowers for himself.
Jiang Yu was too embarrassed to give him the cold shoulder now.
No woman dislikes flowers, and flowers specially given by her sweetheart are the best medicine to heal all wounds.
"Wow, did you do your homework beforehand? How did you manage to pick such beautiful flowers so quickly?" Jiang Yu accepted the generous bouquet of flowers and was amazed. "They're so beautiful, words can't describe their beauty. It's hard to imagine that a plant could possess such a magnificent and grand beauty."
"Xiaoyu, have you heard of it? About the sunset glow." Seeing that Jiang Yu liked it, Lin Yi felt that his research hadn't been in vain. His face was beaming with a bright smile. Compared to the sunset glow, Jiang Yu couldn't tell which was more radiant and delightful.
"I've never heard of it, much less heard of it." Jiang Yu shifted her gaze from Lin Yi's face, looked down at the flowers in her arms, and smelled a strong fragrance.
These flowers and fruits are truly magnificent, both in appearance and aroma, living up to their beautiful name, "Sunset Glow."
"This flower is called 'Dawn', and it's a local specialty of Heli, but it's not just its beauty that makes it famous."
"Why is that?" Jiang Yu was a little confused. Was there something special about it?
"You'll find out soon enough," Lin Yi said, keeping everyone in suspense. "So, Xiao Yu, which flower do you think is prettier, our Soul of Holmpur or this one?"
“Hmm…” Jiang Yu thought for a moment, “I think they each have their own characteristics. The undulating hollyhocks on the beach are a rare sight. They look romantic and beautiful.”
"But this rosy glow is a completely magnificent display. So they are different in style and cannot be compared."
“I think so too,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “If flowers are like this, then people are even more so.”
Jiang Yu's eyes widened immediately. Lin Yi rarely spoke like this, so his sudden shift of the topic to her must have been a well-thought-out decision to have a conversation with her.
“I know you care a lot about Lord Chen Xin, Xiao Yu. We also know about your past and understand how you feel,” Lin Yi said directly.
“But Xiaoyu, you know yourself without me saying it. Lord Chen Xin and you are two completely different people, with completely opposite personalities and preferences.” Lin Yi raised his finger and pointed to the rosy light in Jiang Yu’s arms.
"If Lord Chen Xin is this blooming sunset, then you are the boundless soul of Holmpur on the beach."
"Sometimes, your strategies and methods may not be suitable for her."
Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at Lin Yi. Among her husbands, Lin Yi was the most carefree. Compared to Fan Qingyin's thoroughness and Mo Ya's unfathomable nature, Lin Yi's personality was clearly that of a sunny puppy.
Lin Yi once single-handedly shouldered all the affairs of the Jiang family in Wangcheng and Hollandpur, and also once revealed his delicate feelings to her under the gentle moonlight.
How could she forget?
"Yi, thank you. I understand." Jiang Yu looked at Lin Yi with love. With such a husband, what more could a woman ask for?
Lin Yi did give her a new perspective. When it came to Chen Xin's matter, she always seemed to get stuck in a rut, trapping herself in a self-imposed predicament.
The Aurora Pegasus was incredibly fast. In the time it took them to speak, it had already crossed Heli's territory. Jiang Yu watched helplessly as the flowers in her arms withered instantly, turning into dull, dried flowers. They even crumbled into dust at the slightest touch.
"This..." Jiang Yu was stunned. So this was what Lin Yi meant by the other aspect?
“That’s right, that’s why the glow doesn’t appear anywhere else except in Heli. These flowers wither immediately as soon as they leave Heli’s territory.”
"Can't we even transplant the soil along with it?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.
“Hmm, no.” Lin Yi smiled. “It’s like some kind of restriction. Whether it’s planted or harvested, it will wither the moment it crosses the boundary.”
"What a pity," Jiang Yu sighed softly, putting the dried flowers in her arms aside, feeling somewhat downcast.
“But people and flowers are different.” Lin Yi held Jiang Yu’s hand, as if giving her boundless strength.
"Even if Lord Chen Xin leaves the fertile and beautiful soil of the Forest Empire, he can still live a wonderful life. You are a gift from God, not a restriction."
“At least for me, you are the best gift in my life. So I think, perhaps, in some mysterious way, Lord Chen Xin is also a kind of destined gift for His Highness Turner.”
Lin Yi's constant stream of new ideas left Jiang Yu in awe, not only soothing her anxiety but also making her look forward to the positive developments to come.
According to Lin Yi's analysis, Chen Xin and Turner, well, for some reason, she's starting to feel a bit attracted to them.
"Yeah, yeah, let's look on the bright side." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Yi kicked the pitiful remnants of the sunset aside, truly a model of using and discarding.
The real gift then appeared.
Jiang Yu was nestled in Lin Yi's warm embrace when she felt a chill on her neck. Looking down, she saw a blood-red gemstone carved into the shape of a small heart.
"I carved it myself, I hope Xiaoyu likes it." Lin Yi was a little nervous. Was the gem too small? But it was rare to find one of this quality and size. He had finally managed to get one.
"I love it so much! Yi's taste seems to have changed a bit. It's not quite the same as before!" Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh. Such delicate and exquisite jewelry was actually made by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Yu liked it, and immediately took out a glittering gold jewelry box from his pocket.
The pure gold jewelry box was covered with exaggerated relief decorations, and each side was ostentatiously inlaid with sparkling diamonds, each one larger than the small heart.
"I'm glad you like it, haha, I even got a jewelry box for it! Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I've already sent people to look for one, and they'll definitely find you a bloodstone ten times bigger than this to make your crown!"
"..."
Well, his aesthetic sense remains unchanged.
Jiang Yu finally understood that this gentleman hadn't actually gotten a bigger one; he still thought that the bigger and brighter the better, and that she had overestimated it.
