Chapter 407 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator (10)

Meng Qizhou didn't dare to move, afraid of waking the person on top of him.

This is going to be a problem.

They had a minor incident similar to this when they first met.

It was clearly her fault, but I still vividly remember how she turned around and scolded him.

Because it was inconvenient for her to be away from home these days, she had been keeping her original form as a ginseng fruit, so he didn't have many concerns and had been sleeping with her every night.

This is indeed a difficult situation to handle now.

Meng Qizhou took a deep breath and carefully tried to push Jiang Zhiyi away.

He slowly reached out and gently pushed her arm, but to no avail. He had to use a little more force, trying his best to ignore the delicate and soft feeling coming from his hand.

Sudden.

She let out a soft moan, clearly about to wake up.

Meng Qizhou's heart leaped into his throat, and he immediately stopped moving.

There was no time to do anything, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Jiang Zhiyi stretched and rubbed her head down. Why does it seem like there's hair here?

She opened her eyes.

I realized that I had turned back into human form!

She's not dressed yet!

Jiang Zhiyi's cheeks flushed red, and soon even the tips of her ears turned red.

In the past, when she transformed into human form, she always wore an outer garment, which only required more spiritual energy to maintain.

Last night I must have been in a daze and unconsciously transformed into human form, which is why I was naked.

She didn't have time to think much before quickly transforming back into Little Fruit.

Little Guozi snuggled in the blanket for a while before slowly raising her head.

Seeing that Meng Qizhou's eyes were closed and he hadn't woken up yet, she immediately felt relieved.

That sudden movement startled her so much that she couldn't stay awake anymore.

She sat up abruptly, landing right on his chest, and then slapped his face hard with her chubby paw.

"Time to get up!"

Meng Qizhou was stunned; this damn fruit was quite ruthless.

He didn't react for the time being and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Little Fruit slapped him again, defiantly saying, "Wake up! Even the speckled pigs in the inn's pigsty are awake, and you're still sleeping. Are you going back today or not?"

Meng Qizhou then slowly opened his eyes.

Afraid he would punish her, Xiao Guozi quickly jumped off the bed, shouting, "Get up!"

Like a fleeing hare, Little Fruit quickly slipped out of the house.

...

A mountain path somewhere.

Little Fruit lay there staring at the scenery outside the carriage.

Although the scenery was quite beautiful, it looked somewhat terrifying. The mountain path was only wide enough for one carriage to pass at a time; beyond that were sheer cliffs, making it extremely dangerous.

She stared intently at the clouds in the distance.

Meng Qizhou, however, was already used to it and saw nothing to see, so he continued drinking his tea.

Normally, he would take the back path or use his light-footed skills to climb the mountain and return ahead of others.

But now that she has such a little burden with her, and she is worried that she will not be able to walk, she has no choice but to take a horse-drawn carriage like most people.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently a few times.

The little fruit tilted forward uncontrollably.

"Ah—" She was startled and immediately shrank back, accidentally bumping into Meng Qizhou's chest.

"What are you afraid of?" Meng Qizhou chuckled, reaching out to pick up Xiao Guozi. His voice was low, yet it possessed a clear and bright quality unique to young men. "With me here, do you think you can fall out?"

Foolish fruit.

He muttered to himself.

"Hmph." Little Fruit was in a good mood and too lazy to argue with him. She turned to him and started telling him what she wanted, "I want to live in the biggest and best house, I want lots of pretty clothes, and my teacup has to be made of translucent jade..."

She made demands one by one.

At first, Meng Qizhou kept these things in mind, thinking they were all acceptable. However, as he listened more and more, he felt that something was amiss.

"I want more..." Little Fruit kept talking the whole way.

"That's enough, that's enough, take a rest." Meng Qizhou quickly offered her some food to calm her down.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she wanted to live in the Heavenly Palace. Why would she have so many fancy requirements?

“Once you return to the sect, you must be more obedient…” he instructed her while watching her eat.

After watching for a while, Meng Qizhou frowned.

I've been feeding and caring for her every day, but she still seems to have lost some weight compared to before.

strangeness.

He pinched Xiaoguozi's cheek and carefully wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth. "Eat it obediently."

"No!" Little Fruit retorted instinctively, though she didn't stop eating.

Meng Qizhou looked at her with a stern face, and Xiao Guozi simply moved away from him, refusing to pay him any attention.

He forcibly moved the bad fruit back to face him, saying, "If you don't behave, you won't get any."

She let out a soft sigh.

They're not easy to raise.

Never mind, I'll find some good things to nourish her after we get back this time.

Two hours passed.

The group stopped to rest.

Meng Qizhou left for a while, and then told Xiao Guozi to stay in the carriage and not to run around.

Little Fruit was bored by herself and couldn't stand it for long.

She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out several times, but Meng Qizhou still hadn't returned.

She was about to jump out of the car to find someone.

Suddenly, a withered, skeletal hand reached in from outside the curtain and grabbed her.
