Chapter 241: Another Kind of Conquest (Second Update)
Fang Yuxin thought that after Lan Ruo and the mutant rose were together, they would have a pleasant conversation between the same kind. But she soon discovered that she was too naive!
As soon as Lan Ruo entered the cage, she forcefully occupied the very center position. The mutant rose did not dare to approach it and was driven to the corner like a wronged little wife.
Then, Lan Ruo twisted her body and struck several poses, as if she was deliberately showing off. Seeing that the mutant rose in the corner was shaking even more violently, she suddenly rushed towards the mutant rose like lightning!
What followed was a game of chase. The mutant rose was not slow at all and kept running, but it couldn't break free from the cage set by Fang Yuxin. Lan Ruo was biting on it tightly, as if she was going to catch it in the next moment!
After chasing each other for a while, the mutant rose seemed to be aroused with anger and stopped running away. Instead, it turned around and rushed towards Lan Ruo!
Lan Ruo didn't even run away, but went straight to meet him.
All of a sudden, Fang Yuxin could only see a pink and green ball of light and a white ball of light shaped like a crystal orchid fighting back and forth. After fighting for a while, the two sides suddenly came together again, as if they were whispering, and stood close to each other.
Then, probably because they didn’t communicate well, they started fighting again. Not long after, the two of them came together again to “whisper”.
After several times, Fang Yuxin finally heard Lan Ruo's voice: "Master... Master! It... It agreed..."
Fang Yuxin was relieved. If the mutant rose didn't agree, she was really worried that it would continue to fight with Lan Ruo. They were now communicating completely with their minds, and this group of thoughts was equivalent to their souls. If they were injured, it would not be easy to make up for it, and it would also limit their future development.
After all, she had just encountered this mutant rose, and although she wanted to tame it, Lan Ruo was more important to her. She didn't want Lan Ruo's soul to be damaged because of this mutant rose.
She sent a message to Lan Ruo and asked, "Lan Ruo, are you injured?"
Lan Ruo felt her concern, and the thoughts she conveyed back were actually a little shy: "Lan... Lan Ruo is not... not hurt! Lan Ruo is... very powerful! Help... help the master!"
Fang Yuxin smiled slightly and let Lan Ruo return to her body. When Lan Ruo's body returned to her wrist, she immediately sent a stream of wood energy to it. This was the wood-type true energy she had refined, and the energy was very pure. After Lan Ruo received it, she immediately sent back a happy thought.
The mutated rose sensed the pure wood energy released by Fang Yuxin, and suddenly became anxious. It took the initiative to try to communicate with Fang Yuxin with its mind: "I... I want it too... Give it to me... Give it to me quickly!" This voice was much more overbearing than Lan Ruo's obedient voice.
Fang Yuxin did not give it wood energy, but transmitted a message: "As long as you recognize me as your master, I will naturally give you wood energy in the future."
The mutant rose didn't put on airs and ignored him this time. She quickly replied, "I recognize you as my master! I recognize you as my master! Give it to me! Give it to me now!"
Fang Yuxin stopped being polite and started the master recognition ceremony directly. Because of the cooperation of the mutant rose, the ceremony went very smoothly and ended quickly. As soon as it was over, the mutant rose asked again: "Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"
Fang Yuxin thought about it, raised his wrist, revealing Lan Ruo on it, and asked the mutant rose: "Can you shrink your body like Lan Ruo? Then I can take you away."
This mutant rose was probably really anxious. As soon as Fang Yuxin finished speaking, it immediately changed. The huge body quickly shrank, and finally turned into a pink-green light that shot towards Fang Yuxin and landed on Lan Ruo on her wrist.
Fang Yuxin took a closer look and found that the mutated rose had shrunk even smaller than Lan Ruo's original body. A pink rose flower with two emerald green leaves was attached to the "white jade bracelet", with a slender flower stem attached, which was wrapped around the "bracelet" twice. There was a pointed root at the end of the flower stem, which was tightly attached to the inside of the "white jade bracelet".
After the mutant rose shrank, its entire body became the same as Lan Ruo, crystal clear like jade. The pink rose flower was only the size of a thumb, with a diameter of only about ten millimeters, like a beautiful pink diamond carefully carved, crystal clear, and gorgeous. The green leaves and flower stems were as bright as jade, and they did not look out of place on the "white jade bracelet".
As a result, the originally plain and low-key "white jade bracelet" suddenly became enchanting and gorgeous. However, Fang Yuxin thought about it and felt that this was probably the best place, otherwise she would feel that such a rose flower would not be suitable anywhere.
Perhaps the mutant rose thought so too, so she chose to be with Lanruo.
After the mutant rose found a place to live, it started to ask Fang Yuxin again: "Spiritual energy! I want spiritual energy! Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"
It barked so loudly that Fang Yuxin had no choice but to give it some water first, and then sent a message to Lan Ruo: "Lan Ruo, will it hurt you if it's wrapped around you? Will you feel uncomfortable?"
Fang Yuxin was worried that the mutated rose would parasitize Lan Ruo like a parasitic plant, so he asked this question.
Lan Ruo sent out a cheerful thought again, saying: "Lan Ruo is fine, it didn't hurt Lan Ruo."
Fang Yuxin was relieved after getting the answer. But she still reminded him, "Be careful, if you find it bullying you, be sure to tell me." When she said this, she sent another stream of wood energy to Lan Ruo, which made Lan Ruo very happy.
However, the mutant rose was wrapped around Lan Ruo. Although it did not hear the communication between Fang Yuxin and Lan Ruo, it sensed the wood energy that Fang Yuxin gave to Lan Ruo. It was immediately dissatisfied: "Why does it have more? I... I only have this much? No! You have to give me more!"
Hearing this, Fang Yuxin suddenly understood why the mutant rose chose to live on Lan Ruo. She felt embarrassed, but she still gave the mutant rose a more refined wood energy and sent it a voice transmission: "From now on, you will be called Hongfen."
The mutant rose did not object to this and seemed to like the name very much.
Fang Yuyang looked at the Lan Ruo and Hong Fen on Fang Yuxin's wrist with a strange look. He couldn't accept that the ferocious mutant rose had turned into this cute little one. If he hadn't witnessed everything with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to connect the two together!
His gaze made Fang Yuxin feel awkward. Fang Yuxin looked at him silently, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Brother, time is running out, let's continue to look for supplies."
Fang Yuyang then retracted his gaze, nodded, stopped thinking about it, and went into the two-story building with Fang Yuxin. Because of Hongfen's presence, the supplies in the building were well preserved. The family must be well-off, the granary was full of food, and the family also built a vegetable cellar with sweet potatoes and potatoes in it, which did not go bad.
Fang Yuxin put away the things, went into the house to collect some remaining usable supplies, and then left the building with Fang Yuyang.
There were no more unexpected incidents afterwards, and they searched the remaining houses very smoothly, collecting all the usable supplies inside.
After finishing all these, the brother and sister went to reunite with their parents. Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe stayed where they were just now and did not leave. However, the red mastiff had woken up from its evolution and was silently guarding Qu Qianhe.
The Red Mastiff is a very loyal and brave animal. It will not wag its tail and beg for mercy to its owner like other dogs do, but once it identifies its owner, it will become the most loyal companion and guard the owner.
Qu Qianhe was worried that its body could not bear it, so he did not feed it the Fire Crystal continuously. After it absorbed the Crystal and completed its evolution, Qu Qianhe gave it some purified Crystal Cores to devour, allowing it to recover its strength.
When Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang arrived, its strength had already recovered. When it saw the brother and sister approach, it immediately raised its head and looked at them vigilantly with its dark eyes.
It was not until Qu Qianhe sent a message to tell it that the two people coming were its young masters that it lay down obediently again, still staring at the two of them with its eyes.
Just as no one else had arrived yet, Qu Qianhe said, "Xinxin, it looks like it hasn't eaten for a long time. Give it some raw meat."
Fang Yuxin nodded, thought for a moment, took out a fresh pig's hind leg, and threw it in front of Honglie. Honglie was the name of the red mastiff, which was given by Qu Qianhe. Its fur was as red as fire, so this name was very suitable.
Honglie sniffed at the smell of meat. He glanced at Qu Qianhe and saw her nod encouragingly before he sniffed the meat. After finding that the meat was fresh and there was nothing wrong with it, he opened his huge mouth and ate it without hesitation.
It was originally huge, and after the mutation, it grew to more than two meters tall, with sharp teeth that had amazing bite force. It quickly ate all the meat on the pig's hind legs, then bit the bones, chewing them up and swallowing them.
It ate a whole pig's hind leg in less than three minutes. After it finished eating, it licked its mouth with its tongue and looked at Qu Qianhe expectantly, clearly wanting more.
This time, without Qu Qianhe's words, Fang Yuxin took out another pig's hind leg and threw it in front of it. Hong Lie had probably accepted Fang Yuxin's identity as the "little master" and was no longer polite. He simply ate the pig's hind leg.
Qu Qianhe specifically sent a voice message to ask it, and when it said "it's full", she didn't let Fang Yuxin feed it anymore.
After a while, Chen Qiao and his five companions and Bai Ye and his six companions appeared one after another. Chen Qiao walked up to Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang and reported the situation, saying that he had already found and packed all the useful items and was just waiting to set off.
Bai Ye and the others were in a similar situation. When they were digging for Yuanshi, they also paid attention to the supplies and cleaned out all the usable things.
After discussing it, the two sides decided to continue on their journey. However, this time, when they were halfway there, it started to rain.
