Chapter 405 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator (8)
The sharp sword energy rushed straight towards her.
Little Fruit was furious and only thought about how to open the door, completely unaware of the strange thing behind her.
The quilt covering her was instantly torn, and scraps of cloth and cotton fell to the ground.
A golden light flashed, blocking the attack for her.
Although the little fruit was not injured, it was still pushed forward by the sword energy.
She fell to the ground, her chubby paws scraping against the floor.
It hurts so much.
"Ouch—" she cried out in pain.
Pei Zhengqing took a few steps forward, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.
I didn't expect it to be so good at protecting itself, but it doesn't seem to have any offensive power. It's small and short, and now it's lying there crying.
"Senior brother!" Meng Qizhou immediately came out of the house upon hearing the commotion.
He stood in front of the little fruit.
"Senior brother, don't do it, this isn't a monster."
He picked up the little fruit that was lying on the ground.
Large tears streamed down her face, her hair was covered in cotton wool, and her chubby hands were red and raw in some places.
Unlike the deliberate crying earlier, she is now whimpering softly, looking genuinely sad and aggrieved, quite pitiful.
"Good girl," he said, instinctively.
Little Guozi cried even harder, and then raised her hand as if to complain, showing him her wound.
Pei Zhengqing temporarily put away his sword.
The two people and one fruit went back inside.
"This is a ginseng fruit?" Pei Zhengqing looked incredulous upon hearing Meng Qizhou's explanation.
Little Guozi is still crying. Although medicine has been applied to her hand, she keeps saying it hurts.
Meng Qizhou held a peeled spiritual fruit to her lips and fed it to her little by little, which calmed her down temporarily.
The little fruit smacked her lips, only eating the sweetest part of the fruit. Occasionally, some juice would accidentally get on her lips, and Meng Qizhou would considerately wipe it clean for her.
Pei Zhengqing frowned subtly and asked, "Could it be that you've been deceived?"
Meng Qizhou shook his head and said, "It's a ginseng fruit. I found it in the mountains, so there's no mistake. Besides, the Immortal Jade Pendant likes it very much and has been playing with it a lot these days."
Thinking of the strange golden light he had just seen, Pei Zhengqing fell silent and remained quiet.
He examined it carefully for a while.
This spirit is brimming with celestial energy and possesses profound spiritual understanding; it certainly seems to be a treasure obtained by condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but...
Does it look a bit silly?
However, it's not surprising. Given his junior brother's personality and cultivation level, he could only have managed to seduce such a foolish fruit.
It would be strange if he weren't stupid.
Although it's a bit slow, dull, and delicate, it's still a ginseng fruit, and keeping it will definitely be of great use.
The abbot of Lingyin Temple had said that his junior brother would have a great opportunity this time he went down the mountain, and now it has indeed come true, but...
A trace of worry flashed through Pei Zhengqing's mind again.
On that day, the master interpreted the divination in front of everyone, and afterwards the master dismissed everyone, leaving only the abbot and the master in the hall.
He turned back halfway to look for the lost sword tassel, and by chance overheard the abbot saying that the divination he was performing for Meng Qizhou today was a yin-yang divination, which has two aspects.
There are countless cultivators in the world. Some have exhausted their wealth, some have lost their families, and some have spent their entire lives in poverty... all for the sake of the path of cultivation, enduring countless hardships.
Such a tremendous benefit is not so easily obtained.
Great opportunities also mean great calamities.
Blessings and misfortunes come together.
However, there was nothing they could do. Who could know what the future held? They could only take it one step at a time.
If one deliberately avoids opportunities out of fear of calamity, it may backfire and lead to undesirable results.
After a while.
Meng Qizhou stood up, holding the little fruit. "Senior brother, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest. We still have to travel tomorrow."
Just moments ago, Little Fruit was sulking and gnawing on a spirit fruit, but now it has softly nestled against his chest and fallen asleep.
Her face was rosy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, giving her a satisfied look after a good meal.
Her right hand gripped his clothes tightly, her breathing was even, and her body trembled slightly.
Although this fruit is usually a bit noisy, troublesome, and mischievous... it is indeed very cute most of the time.
"Hmm." Pei Zhengqing nodded, glanced at him, and didn't forget to instruct, "Since it's a ginseng fruit, then you should take good care of it. Just tell me about this, and don't tell any outsiders in the future. It's better for you to keep such a treasure hidden to avoid causing trouble."
"Senior brother, don't worry, I know."
Meng Qizhou naturally understood the crux of the matter, and he did not intend to tell anyone except those close to him.
“I won’t keep her around for long. Once this fruit has healed her wounds and her spiritual power is fully restored, I will kill her and devour her cultivation.”
He said this without the slightest hesitation.
The little fruit sleeping soundly in my arms stirred slightly.
