Chapter 581 Fruit Spirit 1
This is a world imbued with spiritual energy. Humans cannot cultivate, but fruits can become spirits.
From the moment a seed falls to the ground, through the process of taking root, sprouting, and bearing fruit, it is no different from a normal fruit. However, the fruit absorbs spiritual energy and has the opportunity to become a fruit spirit, which can then transform into a human.
Not every fruit has the chance to become a fruit spirit; the probability is very, very low.
It all depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might plant a seed and it will become a fruit spirit. If you're unlucky, you might plant fruit your whole life and still not grow a single fruit spirit.
Fruit spirits possess a superior appearance compared to humans, and have the same lifespan as humans.
Their reproductive capacity is stronger than that of humans. In addition, they will awaken a talent the moment they transform into human form. Different fruit spirits have different talents. Some fruit spirits will rise to the top in one step by relying on their powerful talents and enter the court, or become the right-hand men of the city lords and live the life that everyone yearns for.
Some fruit spirits may have mediocre talents, but their lives are still much better than those of ordinary people.
Guoling has two opportunities in her life to choose her gender.
The first time is the moment it transforms into a human; it can become a male or a female whenever it wants.
The second time is when they have a sweetheart. If the sweetheart is a man, they will become female; if the sweetheart is a woman, they will become male.
The original owner was a watermelon.
It was born in the Gou family's orchard.
From the moment it took root, sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit, it was always the young lady of the Gou family who took care of it. Gou Min'er was a chatterbox, and every time she came to water and fertilize it, she would praise it, saying that out of all the melons on the vine, it was the biggest and roundest.
The original owner fell deeply in love with this beautiful young lady, and so one day, it transformed into a human.
A handsome man with black-green hair.
As an adult, he also possessed a talent: freezing.
In his second year as an adult, after realizing he had fallen for Gou Min'er, he expressed his love to her.
Gou Min'er did not disappoint him and happily accepted his confession. The two soon became husband and wife.
Gou Min'er sewed clothes for him by hand, cooked for him, and cared for him with great concern. All of her actions showed that she loved the original owner very much. Later, she even became pregnant with the original owner's child.
But an accident happened. When she was six months pregnant, the two of them went out shopping and were robbed by bandits. There were too many of them and the original owner was no match for them. Gou Min'er took a knife for the original owner to protect him. When they were sent back to the Gou family, the baby in Gou Min'er's womb was about to be lost and her life was hanging by a thread.
The original owner was heartbroken and held Gou Min'er in his arms, praying to God to save his wife. He was willing to give his own life for his wife's life if possible.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Gou family immediately stepped forward to confirm, "Are you really willing to exchange your life for Min'er's?"
The original owner naturally said he was willing.
Gou's father then said, "I have heard a legend that if Guo Ling is willing to offer the spiritual pearl in her heart to her beloved, her beloved will be brought back to life."
I don't know if it's true or not.
Upon hearing this, the original owner immediately cut open his chest with a knife, and then, enduring the pain, pulled out the red spirit pearl and put it into Gou Min'er's mouth. As soon as the spirit pearl entered her mouth, Gou Min'er did indeed come back to life, and even the wounds on her body disappeared. However, the original owner died on the spot because he lost the spirit pearl.
It's possible that he didn't die of natural causes, and instead of immediately disappearing into the world after death, he lived for three more days as a soul.
The events of those three days caused him excruciating pain and drove him to madness with hatred.
Gou Min'er was not pregnant at all; the child in her womb was fake, and she did not love the original owner of the body. The person she truly loved was Bai Yunyi, the young master of the Bai family.
The reason he pretended to be friendly with the original owner was to trick him out of his spiritual pearl.
The Gou family ancestor had been researching the path to immortality, but humans cannot cultivate in this world, and it is very difficult to achieve immortality. So, his family had been studying those fruit spirits, and after a long period of research, they discovered some patterns.
Why can only one fruit in a large field become a fruit spirit?
Small seeds, slow germination, small leaves, or even vines that are not thick enough will not become fruit spirits.
In other words, in the same melon patch, the one that grows the best, has the greenest leaves, the largest flowers, and produces the most fruit is the one that can become a fruit spirit.
The reason why fruit spirits can become fruit spirits is because they have a spirit pearl inside their bodies.
Even if a fruit spirit cultivates after transforming into a human, it will only have the same lifespan as a human; it cannot live forever.
The spiritual pearls within their bodies change with the spiritual energy within them. When they are at their strongest, their spiritual pearls are also at their strongest. When their bodies decline, their spiritual pearls are gradually depleted.
Even in the event of an accidental death, the spirit orb will simply dissipate.
Only when a spirit willingly gives its spirit pearl to someone else can the person who consumes the spirit pearl have their lifespan extended.
After learning this secret, Gou Min'er took care of that orchard every day. She not only "cultivated" feelings with the original owner, but also with many fruits. However, only the original owner successfully transformed into a human.
So she wove a dense web of love to win the heart of the original owner, and then staged a robbery to save her, making the original owner, this fool, willing to die for her.
She really succeeded. The original owner's spiritual pearl made her more beautiful and younger. As for whether it made her immortal, the original owner didn't know, because it dissipated after three days.
When Ning Yan arrived, the two were sitting in a pavilion. Gou Min'er was sitting opposite him, and there was no one around. Gou Min'er's maid had already been sent away.
Ning Yan was genuinely curious, truly curious, about the Fruit Spirit?
Never heard of it!
The key point is that she is now a man, a handsome man with dark green hair!
Fortunately, I still have reason, so I'll hold back for now.
"Ah Yan, will you come with me to the banquet the day after tomorrow? If it weren't for the invitation from the City Lord's Mansion, I wouldn't be able to attend such a banquet. You know, I would never be interested in another man."
Gou Min'er is a great beauty. Even compared to Guo Ling, she can be described as pretty. In addition, the Gou family is one of the major families in the area, so many people pursue her.
Ning Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Okay, as long as you have any requests, I will definitely accompany you."
"But..." She glanced at her outfit, then said with a troubled expression, "I'm afraid that going out with you will embarrass you."
Once Guo Ling becomes a human, she can register her household registration. The name on her original household registration was Ning Yan.
Gou Min'er was dazzled by the smile. Ning Yan, how did he suddenly become so handsome?
He was still wearing those cheap clothes, and he looked like a simple, rustic guy.
"How could that be? Take these and buy some pretty clothes."
Gou Min'er hurriedly took out a bulging purse from her body and handed it to Ning Yan.
