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. The refined sunflower was lonely and bored from day to night. The only fun he had was when he scared humans.
One night, the moonlight was dim. It was a perfect night to scare someone.
On the narrow path next to the sunflower field, there was a Xiao Daoshi (Small Priest). His hand held a sword nervously as he walked down the path. Xiao Daoshi’s footsteps were fast as he watched his surroundings tensely.
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 fiend spun their flower heads towards the Xiao Daoshi in unison.
Xiao Daoshi nearly fainted in fright.

Crying and screaming, Xiao Daoshi (Small Priest) ran madly back to 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 next morning, the little priest woke up and found that there was another person in his bed.
It was a young man with a beautiful face and skin as white as jade. Locks of long ink-colored hair flowed on the sheets like a black river.
The little priest froze, staring openly at the man.
The young man smiled and sat up. The blankets fell away from his body. “What is it?”
Xiao Daoshi came out of his daze. Xiao Daoshi’s face turned red, “Who are you? Why are you naked?”
The young man, “Have you seen sunflowers wear clothes?”
As soon as he heard the word ‘sunflower’, Xiao Daoshi was scared.
The young man saw Xiao Daoshi’s reaction, “Don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Daoshi prepared himself to fight, “You, are you a monster?”
The young man openly confessed, “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 searched the bed for the sword that he would placed there each night, but came up empty.
With a wave of the young man’s hand, the sword that Xiao Daoshi was looking for appeared in the young man’s hand. “You left too quickly last night. This fell in the sunflower patch.”
Xiao Daoshi received 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, “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, “…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: “I will go and look for a larger one for you.”
The young man smiled, his eyes curving into crescents, “Good.”
Xiao Daoshi paused, “Hold on, why is it me who has to find clothes for you?”
The young man, “Then I won’t wear them. It’s more comfortable to bathe naked in the sun.”
Xiao Daoshi, “No wait, I will find them for you, I will find them.”

Dressed properly, the young man sat in the yard and started to quietly meditate in the sun.
Xiao Daoshi quietly sneaked out the door. He rushed over to his Shixiong (Older Disciple Brother) ‘s place. “Shixing, something’s wrong! Something bad happened!”
Big Brother, “What happened?”
Xiao Daoshi, “I got entangled with a flower demon!”
Big Brother quickly tried his best to comfort his little disciple brother, “Hey, don’t panic. First tell me what this flower demon is like. These days there are 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.”
Big Brother, “This is you pranking 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!
Big Brother, “….Xiao Daoshi…do you really believe that ordinary sunflowers turn their heads from the west to the east at night, and slowly twist their heads from east to the west during the day?” [T/N: This is referring to sunflowers always facing the sun’s direction in the day]
Xiao Daoshi. “Then, Big Brother, you believe me!”
Big Brother, “I have never heard of sunflowers that can acquire a spirit. Moreover, monsters who suck spirits have a dark 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. He said he just needs sunlight.”
Big Brother bursted out laughing, “Then why aren’t you going back to water him?”
Xiao Daoshi, “…”
Big Brother: Don’t prank me right now.This brother is busy.” [T/N: ‘This brother’ is Big Brother referring to himself in third person.]
Xiao Daoshi could only leave with his head down.

After taking half a step, Xiao Daoshi paused and turned back.
Big Brother, “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?
