Chapter 472 - 471: If Love Had a Color

Chapter 472: Chapter 471: If Love Had a Color

To everyone’s confusion, the Flash Star Fruit began to shine with a light they had never imagined.

It wasn’t a single ray, nor was it a beam of light.

It was the source of light itself, a glow that illuminated everything in all directions.

The light was immense, yet not blinding.

In the next moment, everyone was bathed in its radiance.

Some even suspected that he had used some kind of Magic.

But the light had not a trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuation; it was perfectly ordinary in that sense.

As the light washed over them, many people were momentarily unable to see what was happening.

But once their eyes adjusted to the glow, they froze.

An uproar immediately followed.

"What... what is this?"

"I’m not under an Illusion Technique, am I? How is this possible?"

"Is this for real?"

The light was dazzling to Su Qi at first, but she recovered quickly.

She had never imagined her husband would cause such a huge commotion.

And when her vision returned, she was left utterly stunned.

She saw a sky full of stars—no, it wasn’t a sky full of stars. She saw an endless river of stars.

She saw a sea of stars.

This wasn’t seeing a sky full of stars; this was being inside an endless river of stars.

Before her was a river of stars, as if constantly flowing—boundless, vast, and eternal.

’Perhaps this is what a sky full of stars is truly meant to be.’

It wasn’t just Su Qi. No one present could understand it. No one could believe that this entire spectacle was produced by a single Flash Star Fruit.

It was simply unbelievable.

Xiao Xiaomo exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god, what am I seeing? I’ll probably never see anything like this again in my life, will I?"

Liu Yiyi also said, "We really lucked out this time. This goes way beyond a mere ’sky full of stars,’ doesn’t it?"

Chen Yi immediately said, "Boss, hurry and record this."

Xiao Xiaomo replied at once, "I’m on it."

Others were also exclaiming in shock, "I thought he was just using that technique to grab the spotlight. How foolish was I? That method is nothing compared to this sea of stars."

"Is this fellow Daoist really single?"

"No way. Even if he is, he must have someone he’s interested in. Otherwise, there would have been no reason for him to wait until the very end."

The man from seat ninety was even more astounded.

He hadn’t believed Jiang Zuo could cut out a "sky full of stars" before. Now he knew he was wrong. Utterly and completely wrong.

They weren’t even on the same level. If this person had acted earlier, no one else would have stood a chance.

Number Ninety felt incredibly fortunate. If he hadn’t struck up a conversation with him, if the other man hadn’t given him that bit of advice, the outcome might have been completely different.

Zhong Yiyang was also stunned. He knew a thing or two about Flash Star Fruits, but this scene was completely beyond his imagination. In his understanding, a "sky full of stars" was nothing like this.

This had completely transcended the "sky full of stars" effect.

’How on earth did he do it?’

Jiang Zuo, however, paid it no mind. ’I’ve seen scenes like this so many times. There’s nothing special to look at.’

He wanted to see Su Qi amidst the stars. Soon, Jiang Zuo found her, and he saw that she was looking at him too.

Su Qi smiled. She didn’t understand how this happened, but she smiled anyway.

Because this was her husband—her one hundred percent genuine, real-deal husband. As long as it was her husband, nothing else mattered.

And being in this Endless Star Sea filled her with a special kind of satisfaction.

This was what her husband had cut for her to see.

After all, Jiang Zuo had just said that he didn’t care about the ranking or the reward.

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi, then began to walk.

Leaving his spot meant leaving the center, leaving the position that was the focus of everyone’s attention, but Jiang Zuo couldn’t care less.

He just wanted Su Qi to see this sky full of stars.

Su Qi watched Jiang Zuo. In her eyes, it didn’t matter whether he was at the very center of the stars or not. To her, he was the most dazzling existence of all.

Soon, Jiang Zuo reached Su Qi’s side and asked, "Was the cut okay?"

Su Qi glanced at the people around them, then pouted. "It was... okay."

Then she threw her arms around him in a hug.

’There were too many people. She couldn’t just bite him.’

’A hug is better.’

Jiang Zuo held Su Qi, stroking her hair. ’It seems this sky full of stars wasn’t enough to hold Su Qi’s attention.’

’But then again, it’s the same for me. My eyes are filled with nothing but Su Qi.’

’The sky full of stars isn’t all that captivating.’

The others were no longer exclaiming in shock. Many just watched quietly. Couples exchanged smiles and leaned against each other.

Those who were on their way to becoming couples also drew a little closer, at least holding hands as they watched the spectacle.

It was as if this endless expanse of stars possessed a kind of Magic Power, allowing two people who already had feelings for each other to slowly open their hearts.

Jiang Zuo frowned. ’It seems like emotions are being guided here.’

’It’s very subtle, though. I’m not sure of the exact direction.’

He did notice one thing, however. The people transformed by the Divine Transformation Pill were all absorbing these emotions.

It was as if they were specifically designed to counteract those things.

’Is this that Daoist’s purpose?’

But Jiang Zuo only gave it a passing thought. All that mattered right now was that he and Su Qi were having a good time.

The sky full of stars lasted for quite a while. When it finally faded, everyone slowly came back to their senses.

Jiang Zuo took Su Qi’s hand, preparing to leave.

His time was up, so it seemed there would be no reward for him. But he didn’t care.

Su Qi cared even less. For her, that sky full of stars was her reward.

How could it not be, when it came from her husband’s hands?

In any case, Su Qi was exceptionally pleased with this competition.

"Wait, wait! Fellow Daoist, please stay," the host, having snapped out of her daze, called out immediately.

She quickly ran down from the stage, heading straight for Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo and Su Qi stopped and glanced back at the host. They had no idea what she wanted.

"Your performance was probably so stunning that she thinks the championship has to go to you," Su Qi said with a smile.

She was happy to see her husband in the limelight.

’As long as he doesn’t do it in his original appearance. Too many people would be after him then.’

’I wouldn’t be able to fight them all off.’

When the others saw Jiang Zuo holding Su Qi’s hand, they understood. The man did indeed have a partner.

He wasn’t just posturing from the start; he was genuinely powerful.

’Still, that move from before is still usable. It’s at least somewhat effective.’

At that moment, the host ran up to Jiang Zuo and asked, "May I ask for your Daoist name, fellow Daoist?"

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. She didn’t know what name he should use either.

Using their real names would be a bad idea, anyway.

But before Su Qi could think of a name, Jiang Zuo spoke calmly, "Passerby A."

It was simple. Jiang Zuo was making it clear he didn’t want to give his name. If they kept pestering him, he wouldn’t mind just turning around and leaving.

The host’s eye twitched. She finally turned to Su Qi and asked, "And what about this Fairy’s Daoist name? You two must be a Daoist couple, right?"

Su Qi nodded. "Yes, we are. My name is Passerby B."

The host: "..."

These two really weren’t giving her any face at all.

’It’s all the fault of this damned Divine Transformation Pill. Otherwise, I would’ve been able to tell who was who.’

But if they didn’t want to give their Daoist names, there was nothing she could do.

Otherwise, she really would have wanted to know what kind of esteemed master could cut a Flash Star Fruit like that.

She could discern the Fairy’s Cultivation, but as for this "Passerby A," she couldn’t see his Cultivation at all.

And since the Divine Transformation Pill could even alter one’s aura, recognizing them would likely be impossible.

In the end, the host could only smile and say, "Well, congratulations to you both for becoming a Daoist couple so early on."

Jiang Zuo said, his face devoid of expression, "Is there something you need?"

"..."

’This person’s attitude is really terrible.’

But as a host, she had to deal with all sorts of people. Even if someone annoyed her, she had to endure it.

After all, she had no idea about his background or status, while she herself had no significant background to speak of. In the end, she could only force a smile and say, "It’s like this. Your result far surpassed everyone else’s. Therefore, based on your final achievement, we would like to present you with the final mystery prize."

"Didn’t my time run out?" Jiang Zuo asked.

The host nodded. "Yes, it did. So the champion’s prize does not belong to you. All we can give you is the final mystery prize.

We must insist that you accept it."

Su Qi asked, "What is the mystery prize?"

The host smiled and formed a hand seal. A small box then slowly flew out from the Array.

Soon, the box was in the host’s hands.

"This is the Love Stone that we are giving away."

The host then opened the box. Inside was a small, translucent blue stone. It seemed to exude a mystical aura.

Anyone who saw it would instinctively think it was a treasure.

Su Qi asked, "Why is the stone blue?"

The stone wasn’t very big and had a string attached, so it could probably be worn on the wrist.

The host smiled. "It’s probably because of that saying: ’If love had a color, it would have to be blue.’"
