Only then did Hongning realize that the Floral Deity she had been searching for all along was actually Jinxiu. Envoy Mei said since Hongning had the blossom invitation and had come all this way, why not give her a chance? Jinxiu agreed. Hongning brought out her flower, but unexpectedly, it hadn’t bloomed at all. Envoy Xingxing mocked her, but when Hongning’s tears dropped onto the flower, it actually bloomed. Everyone, including Envoy Xingxing, was shocked—this wasn’t a red camellia at all.

Jinxiu explained that these were the flowers of earth grass, which is extremely aggressive and hard to remove. It must have invaded the roots of the red camellia, and combined with Hongning’s spiritual power, that’s why it bloomed. Jinxiu said that although Hongning didn’t grow a red camellia, being able to make earth grass bloom was still worthy of reward. He asked what reward she would like. Hongning asked Jinxiu if she could become his Divine Consort.

Officer Chrysanthemum was stunned, saying Hongning didn’t even understand what love was, so how could she talk about becoming a Divine Consort? Hongning replied that Jinxiu had saved her life, and she wanted to repay him. Lu Yao said that Jinxiu had saved many flowers and plants in her palace too—did that mean all of them should marry him?

Jinxiu said that to become the Divine Consort, one must first be an immortal, and told Hongning to focus on cultivating her immortality first. Kunlun was drinking when Jinxiu came to ask how Hongning had escaped. Kunlun said it had nothing to do with him—Hongning had set the painting on fire herself. Once the petals were destroyed, they were freed. The Celestial Monarch and Divine Consort summoned Jinxiu and Kunlun.

Kunlun said that after being imprisoned for so long, he had truly realized his mistakes and had been reflecting all along. As for the plants and trees damaged by the cold, he would find a way to make up for it. Jinxiu confirmed that Kunlun had indeed shown remorse. The Celestial Monarch said it had already been hundreds of years, so the matter could be put to rest.

The Divine Consort added that if Kunlun made another mistake in the future, she would personally punish him. The Celestial Monarch said that since Kunlun had returned, he should take on responsibilities. Although there was nothing urgent now, he asked Jinxiu to assign Kunlun a post. Jinxiu and Kunlun returned, and Jinxiu said there wasn’t much going on here, so he asked Kunlun to manage the wine gardens.

Envoy Xingxing brought two immortals over who said Hongning was a demon and shouldn’t be allowed to stay. Jinxiu said he knew everything that had happened was orchestrated by Envoy Xingxing—sending Hongning to plant flowers among the earth grass and abusing her authority. He ordered her to be locked into the Water-Moon Mirror to reflect on her actions. Envoy Mei asked Jinxiu what should be done with Hongning.

Jinxiu said that until she ascended to immortality, she should stay in the Withered Garden. Zitong took Hongning there and explained that all the flowers in the Withered Garden had damaged spiritual roots and were very difficult to make bloom. Hongning said she liked it here. Shaoyao came to see Hongning and asked why she didn’t know Jinxiu was actually the Floral Deity. Hongning said there was no divine mark on Jinxiu’s forehead, so she really didn’t recognize him.

Shaoyao explained that the divine mark was a symbol of status and identity—it wasn’t something that would casually be revealed. She then asked Hongning if she truly liked Jinxiu. Hongning didn’t know what it meant to “like” someone. Shaoyao explained it to her, and after hearing it, Hongning said she had all those feelings—she truly did like Jinxiu.

Jinxiu came to see Hongning and said he wanted to help her ascend to immortality, stating that demons were condemned by all and must be eradicated. Hongning said Jinxiu should come with her to visit her homeland—her people weren’t the evil ones others made them out to be. Jinxiu taught her the spirit-summoning technique and told her to visualize the form she wanted to transform into.

But Hongning said that what she always pictured was Jinxiu, so she couldn’t turn into anything else. Hongning practiced hard and eventually managed to transform into Jinxiu’s appearance. When she came out, someone saw her. However, no one noticed anything unusual. Lu Yao came with some flower nectar. Hongning had a bit and remarked that Lu Yao’s eyebrows looked very nice. She asked Lu Yao to come closer so she could take a better look. Just then, Jinxiu arrived.
