Chapter 415 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator (18)
The next day.
"Awake?" Meng Qizhou sat on the edge of the bed and took Xiao Guozi, who had just opened her eyes, out of the quilt.
The little fruit looked drowsy and rubbed its eyes with its paw, clearly not fully awake yet.
She yawned and instinctively leaned limply against him, without any strength at all.
Meng Qizhou patted her gently, and thinking of what happened last night, he spoke to her tentatively in a flattering tone, "It's getting late, what would you like to eat later?"
He knew her personality; although she was quite petty, she would usually forget about things completely the next day. She would only hold a grudge if she was truly hurt or if the matter wasn't resolved for her.
I imagine the situation is similar now.
If he acts more amiably, she probably won't hold it against him.
only……
Today's situation was clearly different from usual, and Xiao Guozi did not calm down as he had expected.
She wouldn't give him a friendly look at all, and just said fiercely, "I won't eat!"
Their attitude was very firm.
She pushed him away forcefully.
"I will never forgive you! I will never eat your food again!"
She'd let the previous petty squabbles slide; she was magnanimous and wouldn't hold grudges. But he dared to call her ugly last night—that was a grudge she wouldn't let go of!
This is an incredibly important matter!
Extremely serious!
"Hmph!" Little Fruit rolled her eyes at him disdainfully.
Meng Qizhou took a deep breath.
It's been confirmed, but they're still angry, very angry, and it seems unlikely they'll be appeased anytime soon.
He said no more and made the decision for her regarding the question.
"If you're not hungry, then eat whatever you like... I'll have someone prepare... a coarse flour bun, a bowl of brown rice porridge, and a bowl of well water."
He casually mentioned a few things.
Although Xiao Guozi protested by saying she wouldn't eat, she actually had her ears perked up, listening carefully to him reciting the menu.
Upon hearing his words, Xiaoqiao's ears immediately drooped, and her face turned very pale.
Steamed buns? Brown rice porridge? Well water?
This is absolutely not something that the noble ginseng fruit should eat!
Can't!
"I won't eat!" Little Fruit snapped at him, then prepared to climb back into bed.
"I'd rather starve to death!"
Then came a series of pitiful whimpers.
She really couldn't resist being teased. Meng Qizhou shook his head helplessly, then grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Just kidding, you can have whatever you want to eat."
He paused for a moment, feigning hesitation, and said, "I've already had the kitchen prepare quite a few dishes, including your favorite steamed jade pastry and jade flower cake... Would you like some?"
The little fruit rolled its eyes a few times, but didn't say anything.
"Are you really not going to eat?" Meng Qizhou made a move to leave. "If you're not going to eat, I'll have them distribute the food to the other disciples..."
Little Guozi swallowed hard and looked at him longingly.
His eyes were full of threat.
It was as if she was saying: If he dares to leave, she will never make up with him again!
...
Half an hour later, at the table.
The little fruit was being eaten with great relish, and a smile was on its face.
There were many dishes on the table, and she wanted to try a little of each one.
Meng Qizhou helped her pack her things. "After you finish eating, you'll transform into human form, and I'll take you to school. You're not allowed to run around or cause trouble. You can leave in the evening, and I'll come pick you up then."
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I will naturally study as well, but I won't be in the same place as you. I will visit you when I have some free time at noon."
Little Fruit was about to refuse when a loud commotion suddenly broke out outside.
What's that noise?
The gossipy man and woman exchanged a glance and immediately reached a tacit understanding.
Meng Qizhou picked up the little fruit and headed straight for the door.
He stopped a disciple outside the courtyard to inquire about the situation.
Only then did they learn that the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Master Lingyin, and Chu Jin'an had unexpectedly rescued a ginseng fruit spirit from the miasma in the back mountain early that morning.
As everyone knows, ginseng fruit is an extremely rare and precious substance, seen only once every thousand years.
The area outside the main hall is now crowded with people who want to see the ginseng fruit, and many others are on their way to see the spectacle after hearing about it.
"Senior Brother Meng, I'll stop here. I'm leaving now. I want to go and take a look too." The disciple hurriedly departed.
Meng Qizhou stopped in his tracks, quite surprised.
Meanwhile, the little girl who was snuggling against him and tugging at his collar in a huff also poked her head out, her round eyes darting around a few times, her gaze full of curiosity.
What happened?
How did a ginseng fruit suddenly appear?
