Chapter 399 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS The Easily Fooled Cultivator 2

Jiang Zhiyi reached out and straightened her hairpin, then turned to look at the person not far in front of her.

The young man had his black hair tied up high, wore a white robe, held a long sword in his hand, and had a wide belt with auspicious patterns around his waist. He was tall and handsome.

His lips curled slightly upward, his expression a half-smile, and his eyes held an undeniable air of domineering arrogance.

That makes him look incredibly arrogant.

She recognized him at a glance.

What's puzzling is what he just said... Who is Stupid Radish? Who is Stupid Radish?

Her?

Is she a radish? Is she stupid?

"What are you yelling about? You're blind!" Jiang Zhiyi said without any politeness, summoning a water balloon and throwing it at him.

Meng Qizhou raised an eyebrow. This water balloon came on strong, it didn't look like it was going to wash his clothes.

He casually swung his sword twice, and the sword energy shattered the water sphere in the air, instantly turning it into countless water droplets that fell in front of him.

A mist rose in front of them.

"You little imp, you've got quite a temper." He wasn't angry for the time being. "I have something to tell you. Help me wash off the dirt, and I'll give you this spirit stone as payment later, how about it?"

Jiang Zhiyi looked at the glittering spirit stone in his hand and was somewhat tempted.

This blind man is quite generous.

If she takes this spirit stone, she'll definitely be able to buy a lot of good things when she goes down the mountain.

"Alright then," Jiang Zhiyi agreed.

A gentle breeze began to rise, and the clear, cool stream water transformed into countless droplets that surged forward.

Soon, the dust and bloodstains on his clothes dissolved into the water and rolled off the ground with the water droplets.

They were quite quick in their movements.

Meng Qizhou was about to praise her, but the next moment, he sensed that her spiritual power seemed to be somewhat out of control.

In an instant, his clothes were torn to shreds, and pieces of tattered cloth were scattered all over the ground.

"You—" Meng Qizhou's face immediately fell. He summoned an earthen wall in a spell to block Jiang Zhiyi's equally surprised gaze.

He had thought she was just an ordinary little spirit from the mountains, but he never expected her to do something so frivolous and rude.

He's a complete pervert!

A malevolent female demon!

Looking at the tattered cloth on the ground, Meng Qizhou felt utterly helpless.

He hadn't planned to stay on the mountain for long anyway. His bundle only contained magic talismans and some food, while his change of clothes were at the inn at the foot of the mountain. Now he really had no other choice.

He had no choice but to use magic to piece together the scraps of cloth, barely managing to cobble together a garment that could cover his body.

The person who was just dressed in fine clothes now has to dress exactly like a beggar on the street.

But before he could finish dressing, another commotion broke out outside the earthen wall.

"Ah! You bastard!" Jiang Zhiyi was stunned for a long time before she finally reacted and couldn't help but shout.

The voice was very loud.

The birds and animals in the nearby woods were startled and hurriedly flew into the air.

Jiang Zhiyi covered her eyes.

She just saw everything... things she should have seen and things she shouldn't have seen.

Her eyes are not clean!

Even though she thought that, she couldn't help but peek through her fingers, but the earthen wall blocked her view and she couldn't see anything.

"You scoundrel! You lecher!" She had no choice but to turn around, cursing and shouting, "You hypocrite! I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Meng Qizhou had never encountered anything like this before.

He was even angrier now; this stupid radish actually dared to turn around and blame him.

He didn't want to say much more to her.

Today I must teach her a lesson and make her kneel down and kowtow to him to admit her mistake.

He drew his sword, and a sharp sword aura rushed straight towards her.

Jiang Zhiyi sensed danger and instinctively dodged to the side, but the thick earthen wall in front of her was instantly shattered by the sword energy.

Knowing she couldn't beat him, she hid for a while and then immediately transformed back into a small fruit.

Her father had told her that they were not good at fighting, and that they would transform into their true forms when they encountered danger.

Their true forms are protected by spiritual power, and unless they encounter a powerful cultivator, there are very few people in this world who can harm them.

Looking at the timid little fruit in front of him, Meng Qizhou realized it no longer looked like a radish.

Although it is still chubby and fair-skinned, it looks incredibly cute and even has a faint golden glow.

The spiritual energy flowing around him was extremely abundant and pure, without a trace of impurity.

He used several talismans, but none of them could break through it, and they didn't even cause a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.

Meng Qizhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

This little sprite doesn't seem ordinary; it might just be a rare treasure.

He sheathed his sword and said calmly, "Fine, I'm in a good mood today, I won't argue with you. Stop hiding, change back. What kind of spirit are you?"

Jiang Zhiyi ignored him for the time being.

“If you don’t make a sound, I’ll tie you up and throw you into the outhouse of the inn at the foot of the mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guozi immediately ran towards the stream, but Meng Qizhou quickly bound her feet with the Immortal Binding Rope.

"Let me go!"

Meng Qizhou grabbed her in his hand, "You do have some skill, this protective body is quite powerful. What kind of little spirit are you?"

The little fruit wriggled in his hand, its tone haughty: "You ignorant fool! I'm a ginseng fruit, you're the little monster. Let me go!"

Meng Qizhou was somewhat incredulous.

This ginseng fruit is a rare and precious medicine, dating back thousands of years.

Even though he had spent so many years at the Lingyun Sect, which possessed all the treasures in the world, he had only heard his tutors talk about it and had never seen it in person.

“I don’t believe it,” he said.

The little fruit was so angry that its teeth itched, but it couldn't break free, so it suddenly bit his finger.

Despite the intense pain, he still didn't let go.

At this moment, the jade pendant he always wore reacted.

This jade pendant contains fragments of celestial spirits, which my father obtained by risking half his life during his tribulation. It is said to be a treasure possessed only by immortals in the upper realm.

The fairy spirit seemed to like her very much. The pale blue spiritual energy moved closer to her and even deliberately tried to rub against her golden light.

Now, it doesn't seem fake anymore.

This celestial being is most annoyed by the turbid energy of the mortal realm, and most of the time remains silent. If it hadn't encountered the ginseng fruit, which is also a celestial being, it's unlikely it would have reacted so strongly.

When he went down the mountain to gain experience, the abbot of Lingyin Temple said that he would have great opportunities in the human world.

Could this be his destiny?

Just as he was pondering, the small fruit in his hand suddenly stopped moving and made a "cooing" sound.

He couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you hungry? I won't hurt you. Turn back into human form. I'll get you some food."

He let go and went to get food from his bundle.

Jiang Zhiyi saw that he really had no intention of harming her, so she changed back.

"Eat up." Meng Qizhou handed her the food.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't stand on ceremony and started eating right away, then said, "Now you know how to be scared, right? You'd better not mess with me."

"Are you really a ginseng fruit?"

"Of course."

"Then why are you here all alone?"

Jiang Zhiyi glared at him. "Of course it's a secret."

Looking at the person in front of him with their mouth stuffed full, Meng Qizhou had some guesses in his mind. He figured that the person had just transformed into human form and, being playful and mischievous, had sneaked out.

Now is truly a good opportunity. This ginseng fruit spirit is inexperienced in the ways of the world and is all alone... However, he doesn't know how to break through her protective true form for the time being.

It would be better to befriend her first and then observe how things develop.

"Eat some more, there's plenty more." He generously gave her all the food.

Jiang Zhiyi was overjoyed.

Her father had never allowed her to eat these before, saying they contained impurities. She thought they would taste terrible, but she never expected them to be so delicious.

She couldn't resist eating a lot.

But not long after, she felt hot all over, her spiritual energy kept gushing out, and her stomach started to hurt.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

"What happened?" Meng Qizhou was really surprised.

For an ordinary spirit to cultivate to the point of taking human form would be a major breakthrough in its cultivation. Let alone eating ordinary food, even ingesting deadly poison wouldn't likely elicit such a strong reaction.

He suddenly remembered that the book did indeed say that although the ginseng fruit was a divine object, it was also extremely fragile and precious, and could not withstand the slightest erosion from impure air.

Perhaps it really was his food that influenced her...

"Waaaaah... I'm about to die, waaaah..." Jiang Zhiyi cried pitifully, her teary eyes staring at him, completely ignoring the fact that she had just been greedy and began to turn the tables, "Why did you hurt me?"
