The two did not walk for long in the underworld. In less than a quarter of an hour, they saw a light ahead, which grew brighter and brighter, looking like an exit. At the same time, a faint purple divine power floated over from the other side.
"We're here!" Yuhao exclaimed with delight, quickening his pace forward. "I wonder where the exit is... Oh dear!"
Before he could finish speaking, the two of them suddenly felt a force pushing them forward from behind. A blinding white light followed, and before they could even adjust, their feet suddenly gave way, and they plummeted straight down. They then realized that below the exit was a cliff.
Holy crap! She knew that Underworld Envoy was unreliable!
Youyou instinctively wanted to fly on her sword, but Yuhao, who had come out first, was one step ahead and made a hand gesture. Instantly, a transparent bubble enveloped the two of them, making them float in the air, which alleviated their falling trend.
"That was close." Yu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew the exit would be in a place like this? "You Tiannu, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Youyou glanced around and saw only a misty white fog below, with only the stone walls visible beside her. "Where is this place?"
“I can’t tell right now either.” Yu Hao shook his head, and while using his magic to fly downwards, he said, “Why don’t we go down and take a look first? Maybe we can recognize it… Huh?!” He suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.
"What's wrong?" Youyou asked casually.
"Not good." His face stiffened, and he hurriedly turned his head and said urgently, "My main body sensed the clone. I'm going to be taken back. You Tiannv, you little..." Before he could finish speaking, he disappeared in an instant, along with the bubble spell.
Huh?
Holy crap! No way, not again!
MMP!
Youyou felt a sudden emptiness beneath her, followed by a whooshing sound in her ears, and then she plummeted straight down again. This time it was even faster; having already fallen a considerable distance, she didn't have time to use her sword to escape, and was about to crash headfirst into the ground.
At the crucial moment, the little flame perched on her shoulder proved reliable. It flew out with a whoosh, igniting a crimson flame that instantly formed a huge fire net, catching the falling Youyou perfectly.
Youyou felt her body stop, and a warm ball of fire enveloped her as she slowly landed. The next moment, her feet finally touched the ground, and she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, little flame."
The fire net that had enveloped her tightly shook in response, then shrank back to the size of a small flame. The fire net also fell away, revealing a large area of charred medicinal fields outside, and a figure beside it with rolled-up sleeves, her face covered in soot and her whole body emanating a burnt smell...
Youyou: "..."
Little Flame: "..."
Turning around, they realized they were standing in a large, scorched medicinal herb field. Judging from the marks around them and the scorching heat emanating from the ground, it was clear that a small fire had just started it. The person in front of them, whose face was covered in soot, was suspected to be the owner of the medicinal herb field.
The situation suddenly became awkward...
Perhaps she should try to justify herself.
"I...I'm sorry!" Youyou felt guilty and apologized honestly, "I just fell from up there, and I panicked and didn't notice..."
The man with the soot-covered face froze for a moment, then exhaled a puff of smoke, as if only then realizing what had happened. He looked down at the herb field, and after a long pause, he said in disbelief, "My...my divine herb!"
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." She really didn't do it on purpose.
"You little god!" The man's anger flared up instantly, and he pointed at her furiously, saying, "You've destroyed the divine herb that I've nurtured for hundreds of years! Give me back my divine herb!" With that, he made a move to attack.
Youyou felt a pang of guilt and was about to explain when the little flame beside her suddenly turned into a big flame and was about to pounce and bite her.
"Little flame!" She immediately pressed it back down; after all, they were indeed in the wrong.
"What? You burned my divine herb, and now you want to fight me?" Sure enough, the other party became even angrier.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was all my fault!" Youyou quickly apologized. "I didn't know I would fall here. How about... I'll compensate you?"
"Compensate?!" The other party glared at her from head to toe, still unable to contain his anger. "Hmph! What can a little god like you, with barely any divine power, possibly offer to compensate? That's a divine herb I've nurtured for hundreds of years!"
"I..." Youyou subconsciously reached into her storage bag and casually pulled out a fruit she had picked from the Demon Realm. "Would the Moon-Eating Fruit work?"
"What rubbish... Moon-Eating Fruit!" The other person's previously disdainful expression suddenly froze, and they stared wide-eyed at the fruit in her hand. "Is it a Moon-Eating Fruit from the Demon Realm?"
"Uh, yes."
His expression grew even more shocked, and he immediately took the fruit and examined it closely. "It really is a Moon-Eating Fruit! You actually have such a thing!"
“Um… the Moon-Eating Fruit is a demonic fruit, and it’s also tainted with my aura, so it might not have any effect on other people! How about I…” Youyou reminded her, thinking about whether to replace it with something else. The gods don’t care about things from the mortal realm, but she still has divine artifacts.
"Who said I wanted to eat it!" He looked at the fruit in his hand with excitement. A flash of white light appeared between his hands, and the fruit slowly dissolved. In no time, only a golden seed the size of a thumb remained. "What do you know, you little god? This thing is called the Moon-Eating Fruit in the Demon Realm and the 'Extreme Sun Fruit' in the God Realm. Both the fruit and the leaves have miraculous effects."
His anger vanished instantly. He glanced at her and said, "Fine, since you sincerely apologized and offered this precious seed, I won't pursue the matter of you burning my divine herb."
"Thank you, Divine Lord." You You breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, get out of my herb field!" The other party immediately waved for him to leave, and even made a hand seal to return to his original form. Only then did You You see clearly that the other party was a man, and he was carrying a very strong divine power, so his cultivation level was obviously not low.
"If the 'Sun Fruit' hadn't become extinct in the realm of gods, I wouldn't have let this go so easily." The man glared at her again, then continued muttering, "I wonder if this seed can even survive?"
"How about I give you another one?" Youyou added, just as she was about to step back, and took out a few more fruits. "I also have something I want to ask the God Lord."
"Huh?" The other person was taken aback, glanced at the fruit in her hand, and then looked at the seeds in his own palm. "No, how many 'Moon-Eating Fruits' do you have?"
"Not many," Youyou replied while taking out more fruit. "Just... twenty or thirty!" She had almost forgotten about the ones she had put in the bag earlier.
"..."
Twenty or thirty!
This isn't even a lot; you've practically plucked all the Moon-Eating Vines from the Demon Realm!
And where did she, a minor deity who doesn't seem to have much divine power, get the Moon-Eating Fruit from?
