Cai Lin smiled and said, "I just like talking to smart people."
She pointed at Ah Ju and said, "Considering your kindness and loyalty, I won't ask for more. He can stay and serve me for a month so I can vent my anger."
"What kind of dream are you having..." Aju retorted angrily.
"Deal. Take us to the Hundred Herbs Garden now," Dongfang Mian agreed before Aju could finish speaking.
“A-Mian…” A-Ju silently accused Dongfang Mian of his cruelty with tears in her eyes, but no one paid any attention to him. Even A-Hua thought he should obey and stay.
Dongfang Mian urged the President to return to the boundary and not get involved in this mess anymore, but the President refused.
In the past, the Grand Commander would never have meddled in other people's business and would have focused all his attention on the boundary point. It wasn't because he had developed any special relationship with these people during this time, but because when he heard that two God Lords and one Human Lord from the Hundred Herbs Garden were all involved, he realized that if he didn't go, and something happened to the Lords, the Three Realms would be in chaos, and what use would it be for him to guard the boundary point?
After sending the message back, the Grand Commander was determined to stay by Dongfang Mian's side to protect them.
Dongfang Mian had no choice but to agree. She did not act rashly, but first had Ahua use her new precognitive ability to sense the dangers of the future. After sensing for a while, Ahua said that she felt very good and that nothing dangerous would happen.
But Aju firmly believes they made a wrong choice, and the condition for that choice is that she dedicates herself to a terrifying woman for a whole month.
So Dongfang Mian thought about it and arranged for some ant-clan and insect-clan to go to the Demon Realm to send a message to Yan Lin, so that if needed, he could come and save a few of them.
After everything was arranged, Dongfang Mian and the others set off for the Hundred Herbs Garden. With Cai Lin leading the way, they entered the Hundred Herbs Garden without taking any detours.
It was only a step away, but once you stepped into the Hundred Herbs Garden, all you could see were countless kinds of medicinal herbs, so densely packed that there was no place to put your feet.
“Let’s go. These are the lowest grade medicinal herbs. Even if you don’t step on them, the divine beasts in the Hundred Herbs Garden will. These low-grade herbs are their food,” Cai Lin said. “Don’t even think about taking these herbs with you. The rules in the Hundred Herbs Garden do not allow you to take away any herbs. You don’t want to invite a heavenly calamity just because of a few divine beasts’ food.”
So Dongfang Mian and the others had no choice but to step on it as well, thinking to themselves, "What a sin!"
After passing through the densest area, we arrived at the central area of the Herb Garden. The medicinal herbs here were of significantly higher quality and not as densely packed.
“The further you go into the Hundred Herbs Garden, the rarer and fewer the medicinal herbs become. Hua Qianxun is currently in the deepest part of the entire Hundred Herbs Garden, where only one Tianliang Flower is growing,” Cailin said.
Dongfang Mian seemed to remember something and asked, "Cailin, you said before that there's something here that can turn you into a true dragon? Do you need our help?"
“Yes, there is, but I was just saying I wanted your help. I could never get such a thing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lent the dragon scale to Hua Qianxun,” Cai Lin said.
"Why is that? What do you need?" Dongfang Mian asked.
“It’s a proud dragon fruit,” Cai Lin said.
"A proud dragon fruit?" Dongfang Mian didn't understand. How could a dragon fruit be so proud?
“Yes, it is a dragon fruit recognized by the Heavenly Dao,” Cai Lin said. “Isn’t that incredible? That’s why he is more proud than all other dragon fruits, because refining him can directly transform a jiao into a dragon.”
