Chapter 89 089: Adventure
A faint smile curved Li Yuan's lips. She had given him a gift, a weapon she had designed herself...
This feeling isn't so bad.
The emperor accepted her kindness without any qualms: "Thank you."
...
After arriving in the central region, Yefei and the others were very lucky and found a clear river just a few steps away.
Xie Qin Gui took out a small shovel from his storage belt and carefully dug in the muddy ground at the edge of the river.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei and Li Yuan went to find the Ice Crystal Fruit.
"Li, do you know what the Ice Crystal Fruit looks like?" Ye Fei asked him.
Li Yuan said, "The Ice Crystal Fruit grows in groups of three per plant. Its color is translucent like ice crystals. It is small and light in shape, surrounded by seven curled green leaves. It is guarded by a companion spirit beast, which is usually a level three or higher spirit beast, the Ice Crystal Snake."
Ye Fei frowned: "It's harder to pick it if there's a companion beast... Is this Ice Crystal Serpent easy to deal with?"
"The Ice Crystal Serpent fears fire; if it touches fire, it will melt into a watery liquid."
"Afraid of fire? So the Ice Crystal Serpent really does take form from ice..." Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle. She casually tossed a half-person-tall plant beside her and gently placed a leaf on her palm: "I'm a wood-type spirit master, so I can't condense flames. Can your dark-type spiritual energy help?"
"Hmm," Li Yuan responded indifferently.
"Alright, let's go find the Ice Crystal Fruit." Ye Fei strode forward, as there wasn't much time left before the five days were up.
Only the First Elder, the Seventh Elder, and Huang Rongyu knew about her visit to the Forest of Fireflies. She didn't mind the First Elder and the others spreading the news, but someone was interfering and trying to use this opportunity to kill her.
Right now, the people who want her dead the most are the Ye family members besides Ye Rui, and Su Haochen.
This makes sense – Su Haochen and Ye Ning are already engaged, and Su Haochen must have complained to Ye Ning about something. To stand up for him, Ye Ning discussed with Ye Jingyao about sending experts from the Ye family to intercept and kill her.
She was outmaneuvered this time, ultimately because she was too weak...
Ye Fei clenched her fists tightly, a determined look rising in her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Yuan asked, noticing her serious expression.
Ye Fei lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "The Ye family sent so many experts to kill me, and I only managed to win by a narrow margin by relying on the weapon I designed myself. I'm wondering if I should go out and find more opportunities to train on my own in the future?"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're only thirteen years old and have an excellent physique for cultivation. You have a lot of room for growth," Li Yuan said calmly.
Ye Fei looked at him strangely: "What do you mean you're only thirteen? You're not much older than me, why are you talking so maturely..."
Many times when I'm with him, I get the feeling that he's lived for many years... Ye Fei thought to herself.
Li Yuan curled his lips into a smile, but remained silent.
I will protect you until you become stronger.
Your life was given to you by him, and no one but him can take it away...
The two walked through the forest, each lost in their own thoughts. Fifteen minutes later, the path suddenly widened, and the view opened up before them.
What came into view was a vast sea of pink flowers. Surrounded by green plants and blooming flowers, three ice-colored fruits were wrapped in seven long green leaves.
A faint, slightly sweet floral scent floated in the air. Ye Fei inexplicably felt that the scent was strange, but the next second, Li Yuan covered her mouth and nose: "Don't smell it!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan created a dense shield of dark spiritual energy, protecting the two of them.
"This is a sea of starflowers, whose fragrance contains a slow-acting poison. Once it enters the human body, it will cause the person to vomit blood and die within seven days."
Li Yuan frowned as he explained, turning his gaze to the ice crystal fruit in the center of the flower field.
