In the middle of a sunflower patch, there lived a refined sunflower that had spiritual abilities.
As a freshly refined sunflower that obtained spiritual abilities, he did not have anyone to talk to. The sunflowers beside him did not obtain spiritual abilities, thus they remained ordinary common sunflowers. All day and night, the refined sunflower was lonely and bored. The only fun he had was when he pranked human beings.
One night, the moonlight was dim. It was a perfect night to scare someone.
On the narrow path by the sunflower field was a Xiao Daoshi (Small Priest). He was holding a sword nervously in one hand as he walked down the path. Xiao Daoshi’s footsteps were fast as he went down the path. He looked around his surroundings nervously.
The Refined Sunflower called upon his spirit power and flowed it through the ordinary sunflowers standing around him in the field, “Wake up, little ones.”
The ordinary sunflowers, “…”
Refined Sunflower, “Someone is coming. Its time to give them a big shock.”
Ordinary sunflowers, “…”
The refined sunflower counted down from three, then ordered, “Stare at him!”
At Refined Sunflower’s command, the entire patch of sunflowers, spanning from the mountains to the field, spun their flower heads towards the Xiao Daoshi in unison.
Xiao Daoshi nearly fainted in fright.
Crying and screaming, Xiao Daoshi ran madly back towards his home in the Taoist temple. Rushing into his bedroom, Xiao Daoshi dived into his bed without stopping to remove his socks. He wrapped the blankets around his body tightly and didn’t move.
After lying down for a while, Xiao Daoshi felt a bit more clear-headed. He peeled off his blankets and looked out. The first thing he saw was a sunflower standing on his windowsill, inside a pot that originally had orchids.
Xiao Daoshi blinked a few times to make sure he wasn’t imagining this. He didn’t expect the sunflower standing in the pot to jerk it’s flower head up and look at him.
Xiao Daoshi froze, then passed out completely.

The young man smiled and sat up. The blankets fell away from his body. “What is it?”
Xiao Daoshi came out of his daze. His face turned red, “Who are you? Why are you naked?”
“Have you ever seen a sunflower that wears clothes?”
As soon as he heard the word ‘sunflower’, Xiao Daoshi was frightened.
The young man saw Xiao Daoshi’s reaction, “Don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Daoshi prepared himself for a fight, “You, are you a monster?”
The young man confessed directly, “Yes.”
Xiao Daoshi became more alarmed, “What are you doing here?”
The young man’s face turned dark, “To suck out your spirit.”
Xiao Daoshi’s hands instantly slid on the bed towards the sword that he placed there every night. It wasn’t there.
With a wave of the young man’s hand, the sword that Xiao Daoshi was looking for appeared. “Last night, you left too quickly. This fell in the sunflower patch.”
Xiao Daoshi took the sword from the young man with shaking hands, then pointed it at him, “I, I will destroy you for the good of the citizens!”
The young man let out a huff of laughter, “You don’t need to be afraid of me. I was just trying to scare you. I won’t suck out your spirit.”
Xiao Daoshi cried, “You’re just trying to trick me!”
The young man stepped off the bed, completely naked. “It’s true. I’m going to go sunbathe in the yard for a bit, after which I will be satisfied.”
Xiao Daoshi was stunned, “…You, come back here!”
After some pleading and threats, Xiao Daoshi finally persuaded the young man to put on some clothes before going outside. Xiao Daoshi gave the young man his old clothes to borrow.
The young man put on the shirt and flexed his arms, “It’s a bit tight.”
Xiao Daoshi stared, “I will go and look for a larger one for you.”
The young man smiled, his eyes curving into crescents, “Alright.”
Xiao Daoshi paused, “Hold on, why am I the one who has to find clothes for you?”
The young man shrugged, “Fine, then I won’t wear any. It’s more comfortable to bathe in the sun naked.”
Xiao Daoshi said, “No wait. Wait. I will go get them, I will go get them. Wait here. ”
Properly dressed, the young man sat in the yard and quietly meditated under the sunshine.
At this time, Xiao Daoshi quietly sneaked out the door. He rushed over to his Shixiong (Older Disciple Brother) ‘s place. “Shixiong, something’s wrong! Something bad happened!”
Shixiong, “What happened?”
Xiao Daoshi, “I got caught by a flower demon!”
Shixiong quickly tried his best to comfort his little disciple brother, “Hey, don’t panic. First tell me what kind of flower this flower demon is. These days there are a few plum demons and peach demons in the vicinity causing trouble. I have caught a few, but there are still more on the loose.”
Xiao Daoshi cried, “It’s a sunflower demon.”
Shixiong, “You’re joking with me.”
Xiao Daoshi, “No, it’s true! I passed by a sunflower patch last night, and a large sunflower suddenly turned back to look me. It almost frightened me to death!”
Shixiong, “….Xiao Daoshi…do you really think that ordinary sunflowers turn their heads from west to east at night, and slowly turn their heads from east to the west with the sun during the day?”
Xiao Daoshi. “Then, Shixiong, you have to believe me!”
Shixiong, “I have never heard of sunflowers that can become spiritualized. Moreover, monsters who suck spirits have an evil appearance with blank eyes. What you described doesn’t sound like this.”
Xiao Daoshi hurriedly explained, “That’s because the monster doesn’t need to suck spirits from humans. He said he just needs sunlight.”
Shixiong bursted out laughing, “Then why aren’t you going back to water him?”
Xiao Daoshi, “…”
Shixiong, “Alright, no more jokes for now. This Shixiong is busy.”
As such, Xiao Daoshi could only leave with his head down.
After taking half a step, Xiao Daoshi paused and turned back.
Shixiong, “What is it? Do you have more storytelling abilities to share?”
The wronged Xiao Daoshi sniffed, “Shixiong, can I have the sets of old clothes that you don’t wear anymore?

I was thinking he would have golden long hair instead of black cuz petals are yellow.
