Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 948: Chapter 459: When the Last Flowers Bloom, All Affairs Draw to a Close (Second Update)_3

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then Mr. Zhuge asked, ”After she fell into a coma, did you take her to the hospital?”

”We did. The doctor said her condition was normal, like she was just sleeping. But she sleeps for days and doesn’t wake up, no matter how we try to stimulate her... The doctor said she might have ’Sleeping Beauty Syndrome’ and that with good care, she will wake up one day by herself. But we can’t wait! We can’t just watch her keep sleeping like this!”

Mrs. Zhu finally started crying out loud.

Mr. Zhu hurriedly wrapped his arm around her shoulders, softly comforting her.

When Mrs. Zhu stopped sobbing, Mr. Zhu said to everyone, ”So we had no choice but to look for extraordinary means. We are acquainted with several Heavenly Masters who have examined the Feng Shui of our house in the past.”

”Later, we learned that your Celestial Path Sect was organizing a competition, held once every four years, where the most outstanding Heavenly Masters gather together to help solve otherwise unsolvable problems, so we approached your organizing committee to register.”

It’s like testing a new drug; you need to find the right channel to register and participate.

Mrs. Zhu also said, ”Even though the organizing committee told us there’s no charge, we don’t care about money. As long as you can wake Yingying up, we’ll pay any amount!”

At this point, everyone understood.

The host patiently reassured them, ”Please don’t worry, the best talents of our Celestial Path Sect are here. We have divided into two groups to help you solve the problem.”

Mr. Zhu looked at them gratefully, saying, ”Thank you all. I believe the Feng Shui of this house is problematic.”

Mrs. Zhu disagreed, ”I think it’s a possession. Great Heavenly Master Lawrence, can you perform an exorcism?”

Lawrence Winters: ”...”

She shook her head regretfully, ”I can’t perform an exorcism, but we have experts who can. I only examine Feng Shui.”

”Yes, yes! I said it’s the Feng Shui issue! See, even Great Heavenly Master Lawrence says so!” Mr. Zhu began to rejoice, completely disregarding the presence of the most famous Feng Shui Master in the room, Mr. Zhuge.

Mr. Zhuge looked somewhat embarrassed and said awkwardly, ”Both Lawrence and I have been assigned to the Feng Shui case; we will work together to help Mr. Zhu avert disasters and solve difficulties, please rest assured.”

”Yes, yes, yes! With Great Heavenly Master Lawrence here, we are relieved!”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu finished speaking and bowed to everyone in the room, saying, ”It’s getting late; have you all had dinner yet?”

A sudden change in topic.

They had lunch only three hours ago, so no one was hungry.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, ”We can order delivery if you like; what would you all like to eat?”

Lawrence Winters remembered how stuffed she was at noon and laughed, saying, ”There’s no need to bother; we’re not hungry yet.”

”Don’t be shy, everyone. We’ll prepare first, and we’ve arranged rooms for you all,” the Zhu couple said with a nod to the group before turning to leave.

The door squeaked shut again, and the room’s lighting grew dimmer.

The shift between day and night happened in an instant; the sun had completely set, and the evening glow over the horizon was as red as fire, akin to blooming Other Shore Flowers.

Lawrence Winters paused for a moment, took out her phone, and snapped a picture of the tree outside the window with small red flowers, then used plant identification software to check it.

”Huh? This really is a Molu tree...” she murmured.

The flowering tree outside the window was actually Molu.

Molu comes in many colors: snow white like fresh snow, pale yellow like aged wine, and red like evening clouds, such as this window-side tree.

Molu blooms in midsummer, being the last flourishing flower of the season, which is why the ancients subtly remarked ”when Molu blooms, the floral affairs are over,” meaning after these flowers bloom, none remain.

Looking again at the young girl lying in bed, she embodied a beauty of hopelessness and sorrow.

Mr. Zhuge was right beside her, and upon hearing her words, exclaimed in surprise, ”Molu? This is Red Spider Lily, also known as Other Shore Flower.”

In saying this, he gasped, ”No wonder this girl remains in a coma.”

”With Other Shore Flowers planted outside, how can it be good?”

”Other Shore Flowers, they enable crossing to the other side. Flowers bloom without leaves, leaves grow without flowers, which is a major Feng Shui taboo!”

The people in the room suddenly stirred, rushing to the window to view the ”Other Shore Flowers.”

Lawrence Winters put on a wry smile and drawled, ”Why the drama, everyone? This is just a Molu tree flowering with Molu blossoms; how does that relate to Red Spider Lily?”

”In Buddhist Scripture, Molu is Red Spider Lily, surely you know that, Lawrence?” Mr. Zhuge smiled lightly.
