Everyone held their breath and waited. A lightning bolt as thick as an arm descended from the sky and struck Dongfang Mian's light cocoon. It disappeared halfway through the strike. After waiting for a while and seeing that no more lightning bolts were coming, Dongfang Mian came out of the light cocoon.
"It's not as scary as I imagined," Dongfang Mian said.
“You are far more terrifying than I imagined,” Cai Lin exclaimed. “Perhaps it is because you are both a supreme bloodline and a god recognized by the Heavenly Dao. You are probably the only one in the Three Realms who possesses both of these qualities at the same time.”
"Hmph, if it weren't for its unparalleled talent, how could it be worthy of this dragon fruit?" Cai Lin said, holding the dragon fruit in his hand.
Dongfang Mian flicked him and said, "You, you're about to be refined and you still talk so much."
"Who said I, the Dragon Fruit, am going to be refined? I am a Dragon Fruit recognized by the Heavenly Dao. You country bumpkins actually want to refine me? You just want this little dragon to become a dragon, don't you? As long as you take me with you for a few hundred years, she will definitely be able to transform from a dragon into a dragon. I, the Dragon Fruit, also have many amazing abilities that you bumpkins wouldn't even dare to dream of," the Dragon Fruit said proudly.
“Oh, we really are country bumpkins. I think waiting a hundred years is too long. Cai Lin will eat it right away,” Dongfang Mian said.
Cai Lin smiled and said in agreement, "Great! I'm so happy! I'm about to become a real dragon."
As Cailin put the dragon fruit into his mouth, the dragon fruit cried out in fright, "Stop it! You bunch of country bumpkins, you're wasting a good thing!"
The terrifying fact that it was about to be eaten greatly fueled the dragon fruit's will to survive. With a flash of red light, the dragon fruit disappeared from Cai Lin's hand and then reappeared on her shoulder.
"Hahaha, you bumpkins didn't expect this, did you? This Dragon Fruit has recognized me as its master, so you can't eat me now! Hahahaha, you truly live up to your name, Dragon Fruit! It is because of your unparalleled wisdom that you have gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao!" Dragon Fruit laughed heartily.
Dongfang Mian and Cai Lin exchanged a smile, relieved that they no longer needed to watch over the silly dragon fruit for fear of it running away. Just as the dragon fruit had said, it was the only dragon fruit in the entire Three Realms that had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Keeping it by their side was far more beneficial than directly refining it. However, the dragon fruit seemed a bit dim-witted; it had already recognized Dongfang Mian as its master without much effort.
“Let’s go find Hua Qianxun,” Dongfang Mian said.
"Okay, this way." After obtaining the dragon fruit, Cai Lin's attitude towards Dongfang Mian underwent a complete 180-degree reversal. She affectionately put her arm around Dongfang Mian's arm and reminded her not to be scratched by the poisonous plants, acting as intimately as if they were biological sisters.
"Ha, woman," Aju, who had been completely healed by Dongfang Mian, sneered.
"Hey, what are you saying, Ancestor of All Beasts? Hurry up and follow, or you'll get struck by lightning again!" Cai Lin said.
"Don't think that just because you've taken my body you'll get my obedience. I'm only staying there for a month!" Ah Ju said angrily.
"A month? You're dreaming. I already have the Dragon Fruit, which is unique in the Three Realms. Who needs you, you stinky tiger? Go wherever you want, just don't show up in front of me and get in my way," Cai Lin said.
"That's right, you dare to compare yourself to me, Dragon Fruit? Shameless! Pah! Get lost!" Dragon Fruit on Cai Lin's shoulder chimed in. Although it wasn't willing to acknowledge me as its master, Dragon Fruit felt that this master was more to its liking.
"Where are we going now?" Dragon Fruit asked curiously.
“We’re going to pick Tianliang flowers,” Dongfang Mian replied casually.
Dragon Fruit cried out in a terrified voice, "Heavenly Flower! You might as well eat me!"
