Chapter 420: Cloud-like Spirit Fruit
Ye Fei answered her without hesitation: "As a wood-type spirit master, there should be no one who doesn't like such a blessed land full of wood-type spiritual energy."
Ling strolled leisurely into the herb garden, turned around, and spread her hands: "All the herbs here were personally cultivated by Qingzhu. You helped His Highness the Holy Emperor, making you our great benefactor and a distinguished guest of the demon realm, so you can freely choose any herb you desire!"
Ye Fei was both amused and exasperated: "Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"
"You don't dare?" Ling tilted her head and stared at the girl.
Ye Fei shook her head: "Since you said that everything in this herb garden was cultivated by Qingzhu, I would feel bad even if I just took away a small sprout."
Ling looked directly into the girl's eyes. After a long while, she smiled, then walked over and gently pinched her cheek: "Oh my! You really are—too cute!"
The vast herb garden was planted with countless medicinal herbs, each one a rare treasure that would drive any human being mad with greed, yet she showed not a trace of greed.
It's no wonder that His Highness the Holy Emperor, who so vehemently hates humans, would show her a gentle expression.
Ling patted her head like she was comforting a child: "It's okay! Qingzhu didn't object, so you can go and get it without worry!"
Ye Fei couldn't refuse Ling's request, so she had no choice but to agree.
The herb garden covered a large area, and Ye Fei didn't miss any of the herbs. She walked around, stopping occasionally, and would sometimes squat down to carefully observe the growth of a herb.
Ling soon noticed that every time Ye Fei took a step forward, the immortal herbs and flowers she passed would quietly extend their leaves or vines to tug at her hem.
That's a plant's way of actively approaching and showing affection.
She was completely baffled. Although it was true that this human girl was a wood-type spirit master, it was indeed strange that she could be so liked by immortal herbs and spirit flowers.
She quickly found the answer.
As Ye Fei walked for a long time in the herb garden and was about to reach the end, a strange force suddenly rushed straight towards her.
It was just as that power completely locked onto Ye Fei that she sensed a strange fluctuation within her mental space.
She closed her eyes slightly to sense everything within her spiritual space, and finally discovered that the source of the unusual fluctuations was the Cloud Spirit Flower planted on the black soil.
"Huahua, what's going on? Why did the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower suddenly..."
"Because the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower sensed the presence of its kind here." Flower's cool voice rang in my ears through the contract.
A kind of Cloud-like Spirit Flower?
Ye Fei looked around the vicinity but couldn't find any medicinal herbs similar to the Cloud-like Spirit Flower.
She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ling behind her: "Are there Cloud-Vast Spirit Flowers growing in this herb garden?"
“Cloudy Spirit Flower?” Ling tried hard to recall, then walked straight ahead, squatted down and parted the lush vegetation.
Ye Fei looked over and saw Ling holding a small pink fruit: "This is the Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit, the fruit of the Cloud Misty Spirit Flower. Is this what you're looking for?"
"The fruit of the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower?" Ye Fei was surprised. "Normally, plants flower before they bear fruit, but I don't seem to have seen any Cloud-Vast Spirit Flowers here..."
Ling shook her head and said, "The original form of the Cloud Misty Spirit Flower is the Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit. It bears fruit first and then blossoms. The Cloud Misty Spirit Flower grows from the fruit."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Ye Fei: "When the flower blooms, the fruit will wither, and it takes hundreds or even thousands of years for the flower to bloom from the fruit. At present, it is unlikely that we will see the Cloud Misty Spirit Flower and the Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit coexisting at the same time."
