Chapter 635: Half-human, half-demon
The moment the Ice Flame Frost Flower was plucked, the lush tree withered and died at a visible speed, eventually becoming like other plants that could not survive in the icy and snowy landscape, completely losing its vitality.
Ye Fei guessed that perhaps it was because the Ice Flame Frost Flower was a spiritual flower, and the spiritual energy it released nourished the tree invisibly, which allowed the tree to still grow luxuriantly in such a cold temperature.
Now that the Ice Flame Frost Flower has been picked, the spiritual energy that nourishes the tree has been cut off, and the tree has naturally withered.
After placing the Ice Flame Frost Flower, Ye Fei sat down on the spot, picked up the little one in one hand: "You guided me here so that I could absorb the ice flame of the Ice Flame Frost Flower?"
Little One: "That's right! After I absorbed the ice flames of the Ice Flame Frost Flower, I was able to speak. Luckily, you human aren't too stupid!"
Ye Fei pinched the little one's cheek in annoyance: "I'm your master. How dare you speak so rudely? Aren't you afraid I'll throw you away in a fit of anger?"
"Ugh, you wretched human! Stop pinching me! Ouch—it hurts!"
"Hey human! Don't go too far! Let me go!"
"Damn it! Sooner or later, I will definitely take my revenge on you! Just you wait!"
Under the little one's incessant protests, Ye Fei finally took pity on him and released his fingers. The little one covered his cheek, which had been pinched so hard, and grumbled, "You stinky human! You bad human! You despicable human! You'll regret what you did today!"
Ye Fei was speechless for a moment. This little thing had become very talkative since it could speak.
If only I could shut him up forever… she thought with a sinister glint in her eyes.
Perhaps sensing the unfriendly look Ye Fei was giving him, the little one was genuinely intimidated and dared not utter another sound.
Mingxu raised an eyebrow as he watched Ye Fei and Xiaobudian bickering.
Ye Fei felt Ming Xu's gaze, turned to meet his eyes, and suddenly remembered the black flames he had just seen him conjure, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you a dual-spiritual-root holder?"
Ming Xu glanced at her, puzzled, then sat down on the snow some distance from Ye Fei, shaking his head: "No."
"Then what are your black flames...?"
"You mean this?" Mingxu slowly raised his finger, and a cluster of black flames ignited at his fingertip. "I am a fire-type spirit master."
Ye Fei frowned: "A fire-type spiritual master? A fire-type spiritual master wouldn't turn spiritual energy into black flames like yours."
Mingxu bent one leg, stared at the black flame at his fingertips, and after a few seconds, he said, "Because my fire spirit root is a mutated spirit root."
Ye Fei was somewhat surprised: "You also have a mutated spiritual root?"
"Also?" Mingxu looked at her. "Do you also possess a mutated spiritual root?"
Ye Fei nodded.
Mingxu gave an "oh," and the atmosphere was silent for a moment. He pointed to his golden eye at Ye Fei and said, "However, my spiritual root has mutated because I have both human and demon blood in my body."
Ye Fei recalled what he had said to those members of the Ming clan earlier and understood: his surname was Ming, he was a member of the Ming clan, and he shared the same surname as his father. His demon bloodline was inherited from his mother—meaning that his biological mother was a demon.
No wonder those members of the Ming clan called him a bastard...
Mingxu didn't see the disdain or contempt on Ye Fei's face, and asked in confusion, "I'm half-human and half-demon, don't you think I have a very humble origin?"
