Ruoruo smiled and pulled a bunch of bottles out of her pocket: "It's my first time meeting everyone, this is a gift I brought for you. These little candies are especially delicious, would you like to try some?"
The Wutong clan member responsible for watching over the cubs' eyes flickered slightly, and took out a pile of snacks: "Little sister, you are a guest, how can we eat the guests' snacks? Try some of our Wutong clan's delicious food, these are especially suitable for cubs."
Ruoruo already knew that the Wutong tribe was still wary of them and wouldn't easily accept anything she gave them.
She wasn't disappointed at all; instead, she relaxed and smiled. As a result, the older sister who was looking after the cubs gave her snacks, and she sat down with the cubs to share them.
Then she took out a candy from the bottle, ate one, and shared one with the older girl.
The adorable little girl obediently shared her snacks with her, her big, watery eyes full of trust and anticipation: "Thank you for sharing the snacks with me, sister. These are my favorite snacks, and I'll share them with you too. I'm an alchemist, and I made these candies myself. You should try them, they're really delicious."
The girl from the Wutong tribe found it amusing. This little guy was so small, yet he already knew about alchemy. He probably just took some materials and rolled them into some candy beans to play with, being coaxed by the adults.
When they were little, didn't they sometimes mix wild grass and mud together, burn it, and play with it as if it were their own elixir?
To fulfill the cub's expectations, she accepted the candy.
The next moment, her pupils contracted slightly, and her gaze was immediately drawn to this so-called candy.
This candy is actually a medicinal pill.
The slightly translucent appearance of the pill indicates that it is already considered a top-grade pill.
She quickly returned the pill to Ruoruo: "Little sister, this is not a candy, it's a top-grade pill, extremely precious. Don't give it away so easily, return it to your parents."
This must be because I, the little girl, mistook the top-grade pill for candy and took the wrong one.
However, Ruoruo directly poured out another pill, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and ate it: "This is a candy bean. It's so fun to eat. It's sweet and makes you feel very comfortable."
The girl guarding the cub caught her breath and hurriedly reached out to grasp Ruoruo's wrist.
How can you eat such premium snacks like that? If your meridians are damaged by the spiritual energy, won't people think that the Wutong Clan is deliberately harming their cubs?
However, upon closer inspection, she discovered that the spiritual energy within the little girl's body had only become slightly more active, without any sign of agitation.
"Big sister, what's wrong?" Ruoruo looked at her innocently.
"This..." The girl guarding the cub was puzzled and couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it be that she was mistaken, and that it really was just a candy bean with some ordinary medicinal herbs dissolved in it?
Ruoruo tiptoed and popped another candy pill into her mouth: "It's really okay, it tastes really good, and it can even make your spiritual energy flow more smoothly."
The cub stuffed a pill into her throat, and before she could spit it out, the pill had already melted down her throat.
An extremely gentle and comfortable spiritual energy spread through her meridians, sweeping away the fatigue of guarding the cubs all day.
She couldn't help but let out a soft, comfortable hum, and in the warm sunlight, she almost fell asleep with her eyes closed.
However, the effects of the pill wore off quickly, and she opened her eyes, looking at the pill in Ruoruo's hand with some surprise.
This doesn't seem to be a top-grade elixir, but rather a kind of spiritual food infused with medicinal herbs that has conditioning effects.
The Longevity Clan are masters of crafting spiritual herbs. Unlike outsiders who only know about brewing medicinal soups and taking pills from spiritual herbs, they process spiritual herbs into food to nourish the body.
The candy in the little girl's hand is undoubtedly one of them.
So when Ruoruo distributed candy to the other cubs, she didn't stop her anymore.
It's perfectly normal for kids to share snacks, especially since these snacks are good for their health.
Before long, the young phoenix tree cubs, having eaten the candy beans, waited for the branches to start basking in the sun: "Oh dear, why have my leaves grown so much again?"
"I feel like my head is a little heavy."
Several cubs began to whisper among themselves.
Ruoruo looked at the sapling that had grown taller and had a more lush canopy after consuming the pills she had specially refined, and her eyes curved into crescents with satisfaction.
"Maybe the candy was too delicious, so everyone's leaves have grown too much. I'll pick some off for you."
Ruoruo, relying on her ability to transform into a kitten, nimbly jumped onto their tree canopy and began to remove the excess leaves without any hesitation.
The cubs also have a habit of helping to remove the bruised leaves; to them, these leaves are no big deal, just like removing one or two hairs from their hair.
Moreover, now that my hair is growing wildly, I feel even less of a sensation.
Ruoruo happily stuffed a large storage box full of divine wutong leaves.
With these sycamore leaves, she can go back and try to make medicine for her brother!
After an afternoon, Ruoruo returned home with a full load of goodies.
After dinner, just as Ruoruo was about to start refining pills, the parents of several cubs came looking for her.
"I didn't hurt the cubs!" Ruoruo nervously stuffed all the paulownia leaves she had just taken out back into the storage box. "But I cut a little bit of their hair, and I swear I didn't even change their hairstyles, so how could they have been found out?"
First, they applied a hair growth promoter, then cut the hair back to its original style. How did these parents notice the difference?
However, these parents weren't there to cause trouble. Instead, their eyes lit up when they saw Mo Yunlan: "Young Master Yunfei, we've heard you're an alchemist in the mortal realm, right? Thank you for taking care of our cubs today. Do you still have the candy your junior sister gave the cubs this afternoon? We'd like to buy some."
"Huh?" Ruoruo quietly peeked half her head out from behind the door.
These parents don't seem to be here to settle scores with her, do they?
“I heard from our cubs that they grew taller after eating your candy beans this afternoon.” One parent looked at Yun Fei with shining eyes and admiration. “Although your human race is weak, some of your ingenious ideas are really useful, and you are also very good at raising cubs. I didn’t expect that even the cubs of our Longevity Clan could be raised so well.”
"Yes, I have to chase after my child to feed him every day. He only likes to eat snacks, but he ate two extra bowls of food when he came home tonight."
The parents all chimed in, and Ruoruo finally understood.
She said that she only fed the cubs good medicine, and the only side effect was that they would grow more leaves. Moreover, she plucked the leaves back to the way they were before, so no one would notice.
[Second Brother, we can't give them candy, otherwise they'll find out I pulled their kid's hair.] Ruoruo transmitted her voice, sounding a little guilty.
Having learned the whole story, Mo Yunlan chuckled lightly. Tsk, wherever he goes, he's always cleaning up after his own brat.
He only knew that Ruoruo had a way, but he never expected it to be this kind of way.
