Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 210: Peach Trees’ Garden

After entering the village, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t immediately go to the peach trees garden.

Instead, they went to a small restaurant and drank wine while listening to gossip.

"Wang Dazhi was finally caught." Someone sighed.

"He is really unfortunate."

"He caused his own misfortune." Another snorted in disdain.

How dare he get drunk and brag about the token? That kind of stupid person deserves what he gets."

"I agree. The Yunshan secret realm is about to open. Who doesn’t know that all the big forces are looking for entrance keys? Which casual cultivator dares to announce that they have a key? Wang Dazhi did something stupid."

"Enough about Wang Dazhi. I just saw Young Master Mu and young Miss Xie at the village entrance."

"Is what you said true?"

"What’s the point of lying to you?"

"Who is young master Mu and young miss Xie?"

"How come you don’t know about them?" Someone excitedly said and quickly continued.

"The Mu family from the Martial Arts Tower City and the Xie family from the Talismans Tower City have always been enemies. Who knew the sixth young master Mu and the second young miss Xie would suddenly fall in love?"

"Young master Mu Jingchen and young miss Xie Yuehua? How is this possible? Aren’t they cultivation maniacs? Where did they find the time to fall in love?"

"I am not clear about the details but the outcome is there. Neither their families nor sects support the relationship."

"Come to think of it..., the sixth young master is a disciple of the Hanging Garden Sect and the second young miss is a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect. These two sects don’t have a good relationship."

"The relationship has gotten worse since the last inter-sects’ competition."

"Why did they come to Taoshu village?"

"I heard the sixth young master and the second young miss are very determined. Neither their sects nor families can do anything about them. In the end, the two sides came to a compromise."

"What compromise? Hurry up and tell us."

"Young master Mu and young miss Xie were asked to come to Taoshu village. If they get the love peach, their sects and families will leave them alone. However, if they don’t get the peach, they will immediately separate and never have anything to do with each other."

"This test is not simple."

"It’s indeed not simple but if they pass, their future life will be blessed."

"What are the requirements for getting the love peach?"

"Who knows!" Someone sighed and shrugged.

"All the couples who got it were just walking around in the peach trees garden when they were suddenly pulled into another space. The love peach tree is in that space."

"Just walking around? Were they confessing their feelings or talking about love?"

"It’s nothing like that. According to records, some couples were talking about love, others were arguing..., there is even one that was fighting. No one really knows how the love peach tree chooses the couples."

"What about the favoured couples? Where are they now?"

"Most have gone to Tianxuan continent, others have fallen, and the most recent is still in our Tianqi continent."

"Still here? Who is it?"

"It’s the city lord and madam of Sword Tower City."

"Is that true?"

"I have heard that the city lord and madam of Sword Tower City have a good relationship but I didn’t know they ate the love peach. How envious!"

"If only I can eat the love peach."

"What is a person who doesn’t have a taoist companion talking about? How dare you have such an unrealistic dream?"

"Are you looking down on me?"

"Isn’t it true that you don’t have a taoist companion?"

"Why are you looking down on me when you also don’t have one?"

"I am different from you. The only reason I don’t have one is because I am not looking for one."

"Who are you trying to fool? Don’t we know your virtue?"

"Okay. Stop arguing."

After listening to this, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu looked at each other.

"I didn’t expect to encounter Romeo and Juliet this time around." Shen Xu sighed.

"Romeo and Juliet?"

[They are a famous fictional couple from my original world. Unfortunately, they had a tragic ending.] Shen Xu said and quickly described the plot of Romeo and Juliet.

[Do you think the sixth young master and second young miss will have a tragic ending?]

[Who knows?] Shen Xu shrugged.

Because he was in love and had a good relationship with his husband, Shen Xu naturally wished that all couples would eventually get married and achieve a happy ending.

However, for most, love and marriage weren’t simple.

Let alone the cultivation world, even Earth was a difficult place to maintain a relationship.

After that, the two left the restaurant and went to the entrance of the Peach Trees Garden.

Many cultivators were gathered at the entrance when the two got there.

However, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu had always minded their business so they didn’t linger around to ask what was going on.

Soon after, they paid the entrance fee and passed through the protective formation to enter the garden.

"It’s so beautiful here." Shen Xu exclaimed, turning his head every which way.

"It smells good and it looks nice."

"Shall we walk around?" Zhen Yuan asked, holding his wife’s hand with a doting look.

"Mmh." Shen Xu agreed.

The trees on the outer circle of the Peach Trees’ Garden were all common peaches.

However, these common peach trees grew better and smelled better than those planted in other places.

"Brother Yuan, I want to eat one."

"Good." Zhen Yuan said and immediately picked a peach.

After that, he wiped the peach and gave it to Shen Xu to eat.

However, the double didn’t take the peach.

Instead, he took a bite and pushed the peach towards Zhen Yuan’s mouth.

"Try it. It’s very delicious."

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard this.

Although he didn’t like sugary things, he liked everything his wife gave him.

Following that, the two took turns to eat the peach and before they knew it, they were down to the core.

"It’s more delicious than I expected." The double said and stood on tiptoes to kiss the corner of Zhen Yuan’s lips.

"Is it because we shared it?" Zhen Yuan teased and Shen Xu didn’t deny it.

"Food tastes better when you share it with the person you love."

After that, the two shared peaches while walking towards the centre of the Peach Tree Garden.

From what they knew, the Peach Tree Garden was a concentric circle.

The outer circle had the worst quality peaches and the grade of peaches improved as one neared the centre.

This was true.

After eating a common peach, the two shared a pink jade peach, a clear-skin peach, ..., and eventually ate a three-pattern peach when they reached the centre.

"The peaches are not particularly precious but they are so delicious. There must be something special about Taoshu village that makes the peach trees grow so well." Shen Xu said in a curious voice.

Along the way, he had Zhen Yuan threw peach cores in the Chaos Flame Space.

However, he didn’t know if the resulting peach trees would produce peaches as delicious as the ones in Taoshu village.

[Don’t worry.] Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

[The Chaos Flame space is the most powerful treasure I have ever encountered. Even if it doesn’t produce better peaches, the quality won’t be worse than Taoshu village.]

[I hope.] Shen Xu nodded with an expectant look.

One of the reasons he was anxious about the peaches was because Zhen Yuan liked peach wine.

Knowing that, Shen Xu was naturally eager to get better quality peach trees, fruits, and blossoms.

"Thanks for your hard work." Zhen Yuan suddenly said and Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

"We are taoist partners."

"I am lucky to meet you."

’So am I.’ Shen Xu thought, squeezing Zhen Yuan’s hand with a happy smile on his face.

At this time, the two heard a commotion and couldn’t help but frown.

Turning around, they saw a large group of people following behind a male and female cultivator.

"What are they doing?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but wonder.

[The couple is sixth young master Mu and second young master Xie.] Zhen Yuan stated and the double’s eyes widened in surprise.

Mu Jingchen was handsome and heroic and Xie Yuehua was beautiful and also heroic.

They simultaneously looked like an unlikely match but also a good match.

Looking at the two, Shen Xu was a little curious and couldn’t help but wonder if they would get a love peach.

However, his interest was limited to a little curiosity but he wasn’t invested in the outcome.

Thinking of this, he turned around, smiled at Zhen Yuan and prepared to share another peach.

However, before his hand touched the peach, the surroundings suddenly changed.

"This..." Shen Xu muttered, looking at the unfamiliar peach trees’ garden.
