Wen Ziqing felt a surge of pride when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's jade-like hands instantly turn pink. Is there anything more beautiful than mutual love? Between him and Zhou Yuanyuan, not only did he have feelings for her, but she also had feelings for him.
Wen Ziqing was just proud for two seconds before he felt disgusted by the strange taste in his mouth.
The leaves melted in his mouth, and a warm air flowed down Wen Ziqing's throat and into his stomach. This taste... was strange and made Wen Ziqing feel bitter.
It was fishy, smelly, bitter, and strange. Wen Ziqing wanted to vomit...
Unfortunately, Wen Ziqing couldn't vomit anything.
Could this little rascal be playing a prank on him? Wen Ziqing looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with a bitter face, his eyes full of accusations.
"Brother Ziqing, what's wrong?" Zhou Yuanyuan stared at Wen Ziqing with sparkling eyes. The effects of poisons and antidotes in the cultivation world were immediate. Old Tree was so kind, he wouldn't lie to her, right?
Wen Ziqing felt a little relieved when he saw that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't look like she was playing a prank on him. Just as he was about to speak to her, the warm air transformed from the leaves quickly emanated from his abdomen and spread throughout his limbs. He felt a tingling sensation, followed by a stream of gray sweat pouring out of his body like a slurry.
The sweat had a foul smell, and in less than half a minute, Wen Ziqing had turned into a "mud man".
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan covering her nose and laughing mischievously, Wen Ziqing blushed so much that blood was about to drip out. How embarrassing! Showing such an embarrassing side in front of the person she loved.
Like a breeze blowing by, there was no trace of Wen Ziqing at the place.
"Zhuzhu, follow him and be sure to protect him." Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Wen Ziqing was probably going to take a shower. She was embarrassed to follow him, so she could only send Chaos Pearl to run errands.
"Okay." Chaos Pearl was also afraid of the stench on Wen Ziqing's body, so it didn't dare to follow too closely. It watched Wen Ziqing go towards the back mountain from a distance.
Wen Ziqing quickly left Qingzhu Cottage and soon jumped into the hot spring in the back mountain.
"Holy shit, which bastard fell into the cesspool and disturbed my hot spring bath." Under the spring, Kong Ming was awakened by a foul smell and couldn't help but rise into the air and curse.
"Kong Ming, shut up!" In the spring water, the gray and smelly Wen Ziqing shouted with gritted teeth.
"Oh~! It's you, master? I didn't say anything just now, nothing at all." Kong Ming recognized Wen Ziqing's voice and was so scared that he refused to admit that he had just cursed.
"You broken stone, you are dead. I just heard you scolding your master." The voice of Chaos Pearl sounded faintly in Kong Ming's ears, scaring Kong Ming so much that he screamed "Wow" and flew ten meters away.
"Auntie, Auntie Zhuzhu, can you scare people from behind... No! Scare stones?" Kong Ming couldn't help but frowning when he saw that there was a "witness" beside him.
"Just be content, little stone. Go get some of your master's antidote. You won't get it again if you miss this opportunity!" Chaos Pearl instructed Kong Ming.
"What poison? Am I poisoned?" Kong Ming was a little confused.
"Hehehe... Little Stone, forget about those sticky things..."
Before Chaos Pearl could finish his words, Kong Ming dove headfirst into the stinky spring water. No wonder he'd been soaking in the hot spring for so long, only to feel increasingly irritated. So, the insects' slime was poisonous? Detoxification was good! A little stinky, no matter how bad it got!
Seeing that Kong Ming was fooled by him and believed it, Chaos Pearl laughed secretly.
On this side, the Chaos Pearl was guarding the "handsome man coming out of the bath" for its owner. In the Green Bamboo Cottage, Xiaoyu thought about it again and again and decided to tell Zhou Yuanyuan the truth.
"What? Xiaoyu, are you out of your mind?" In her sea of consciousness, Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Xiaoyu with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.
"Master, I'm telling the truth. Look, the leaves of this green tree are becoming more and more wilted. It must be because it lacks 'spirit'." Xiaoyu stood under the green tree, raised one of her front legs, pointed at the sparse leaves on top of the green tree, and said seriously.
"What spirit?" Now it was Zhou Yuanyuan's turn to be confused.
"Master, there is a 'spirit' in our innate spiritual treasures. Otherwise, how can they be worthy of the name of innate spiritual treasures? For example, I am the innate jade spirit. It is because of my existence that the innate spiritual energy on the spiritual jade will condense and not dissipate." Xiaoyu pointed at herself and said to Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Huh? There is such a saying?" Zhou Yuanyuan still didn't understand.
"Master, this tree lacks the 'spirit', so it cannot absorb spiritual energy. The drop of life essence it lost before cannot be replenished. If this continues, this tree of life will die." Xiaoyu pointed at the jade tree that looked a little wilted, feeling a little anxious.
The Tree of Life! This is a being even more advanced than this innate jade spirit. With the help of the Tree of Life, the master's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. Possessing a Tree of Life is much more cost-effective than owning this broken jade spirit.
"So what? This tree was an accidental find. If it dies, there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't worried at all. She was open-minded. This tree appeared in her mind, and she loved it. If it really withered, Zhou Yuanyuan would just sigh. Many things in this world can't be decided as you wish. If it rains, or if your mother gets married, who cares?
Xiaoyu wiped her eyes, looked up at Zhou Yuanyuan, and said seriously, "Master, let me be the spirit of the Jade Tree! I am the innate Jade Spirit. My innate spiritual energy contains a lot of vitality. With me as the spirit of the Jade Tree, it will surely grow into a true Tree of Life."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little confused. What did Xiaoyu mean? What did it mean to become the spirit of the Jade Tree? Xiaoyu was originally a Jade Spirit! Its body was a piece of jade, and this was a tree. Could the stone and the tree merge? Or... was Xiaoyu tired of being a stone and wanted to become a tree?
No way? Xiaoyu must be very satisfied with its own identity. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a jade stone for millions of years and only now thought of becoming a tree.
"Master, no, that's not the case." Xiaoyu jumped a few times anxiously. The master was really imaginative. How could it not like being jade? It was a jade spirit born and nurtured by nature. How could it be so desperate that it would want to be a tree?
If it weren't for its master, it wouldn't be willing to make such a sacrifice. God knows if Xiaoyu can still retain the memories of the past millions of years after becoming a tree spirit?
