Chapter 1537 Five Fruits
"Why, why did another one bloom?"
Not only me, but Mu Yunxi and others were also stunned when they saw the flower bud that emerged from the belly button of the female corpse.
"Old Mao, you said before that it takes a hundred years for the red spider lily to bloom and bear fruit... Is it possible that five hundred years have passed, so five red spider lilies have already bloomed, but these five flowers have been trapped in the body of the female corpse. Now that the coffin has been opened, the red spider lilies have sensed the Qi and drilled out of the body of the female corpse?"
Hearing this, Mao Buhui touched his chin, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Only the successive leaders of the Hundred Flowers Alliance know the most about the red spider lily, and the rest of us don't know. I've never seen it before, but...if it's really as you said, then it should have five flowers and five fruits, but why are there only two?"
As if responding to Mao Buhui's words, almost as soon as his voice fell, the female corpse trembled again, and then the two private parts under her lower abdomen bulged up, lifting the gauze clothes high, and through the gauze clothes, you can see that there are actually two more red spider lilies drilling out of the female corpse and are slowly blooming.
"Oh my god!" Mao Buhui was stunned. "This Fairy Feihua was wise all her life, like a banished fairy. I don't know how many people of her time admired her. Who would have thought that five hundred years after her death, she would end up with... her reputation ruined!"
"Don't look at her without permission!"
Mu Yunxi glared at the three of us grown men. I coughed awkwardly, then pointed at the nose of the female corpse and said, "Another flower has come out. Here, let's not look anywhere else, just look at the two flowers at the mouth and nose."
"Yes, yes, we won't look around." Mao Buhui nodded hurriedly, but his eyes kept glancing down.
Just as I said, at this moment, five red spider lilies actually emerged from the body of the female corpse. As the five flowers bloomed, the tightly wrapped stamens slowly opened like the heart of a flower, and then a blood-red, small fruit that looked like a drop of blood was revealed in front of everyone.
"Could this be the legendary...fruit of the red spider lily?" Wang Zhenhong stared at the blood-red fruit with eagerness, and reached out to take it.
"Be careful!" Just as Wang Zhenhong's hand was about to touch the fruit, I suddenly frowned, because my intuition told me that this thing should not be touched easily.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Wang Zhenhong was shocked, and his hand reaching for the red spider lily also froze in mid-air.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!" I said and looked at Mu Yunxi. Seeing this, Mu Yunxi stretched out her hand and grabbed the fruit.
However, when her palm was about to touch the fruit, the red spider lily seemed to have sensed something and closed directly.
"No, it seems that only people in Guanghan Palace can take this thing." Mu Yunxi shook her head.
"It should be like this. Only people who practice special skills can touch it, such as the Falling Flowers Without Trace that is the same as the Feihua Fairy." Mao Buhui also nodded.
I didn't care too much about the discussions of the crowd, because at this moment, I almost focused all my attention on the flower bud, and I don't know why, there seemed to be a faint voice in my heart telling me to pick the fruit of the red spider lily!
The next second, I suddenly raised my palm, and under everyone's astonished gaze, I gently stroked the red spider lily.
As I stroked it, the red spider lily swayed, and the stamens that had just closed unexpectedly reopened again, and I, without any hindrance, directly plucked the fruit.
Almost at the moment when the fruit was plucked, a sharp cry of "ah" was heard, and then, the originally extremely beautiful red spider lily withered in an instant, turned into powder, and dissipated with a "whoosh".
"Qian Yu, how could you touch it?" Wang Zhenhong looked puzzled, while Mu Yunxi glared at me fiercely, and Mao Buhui just laughed evilly.
"Because Qian Yu and Luo Hua Wu Hen are..." When he said this, Mao Buhui extended his two thumbs and touched them together. Wang Zhenhong understood instantly and couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that only Qian Yu can pick the fruit of the red spider lily." After Mao Buhui finished speaking, he looked at the fruit in my hand: "I just don't know, we can't pick it, but can we touch it?"
After saying that, he grabbed the red spider lily fruit from my hand.
Everyone looked nervous, and they were relieved when they saw that Mao Buhui was not in trouble and the fruit did not disappear.
"Old Mao, you are too casual. This is the fruit of the red spider lily. If it really disappears, the loss will be huge!" Wang Zhenhong couldn't help complaining, but Mao Buhui grinned and said, "Hehe, it didn't disappear, did it? Besides, if it really disappeared, there would be no need for the Feihua Fairy to carry the red spider lily with her. Even if it would trap herself to death, she would not let others take it away, because others can't touch it at all. So you think I seem to be quite reckless, but in fact I know better than anyone else. I'm very careful."
"Yes, very careful, you little dog!" Wang Zhenhong made a rare joke, but Mao Buhui's face turned black, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm very fierce, if you don't believe me, ask Chunya."
Everyone ignored Mao Buhui and looked at the remaining four flower buds.
Next, I picked the remaining four fruits one after another, and Mao Buhui returned the fruit in his hand to me.
When all five fruits were picked, the female corpse began to tremble violently. Then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the face that was originally as white as cream withered rapidly, and the body also slowly withered. In just a moment, the Feihua Fairy, who was originally like a sleeping beauty, turned into a skeleton. However, unlike the
other skeletons, the corpse of Feihua Fairy exuded a faint glow, and the bones were much whiter than those of ordinary
people. "She is worthy of being the white, rich and beautiful girl of Guanghan Palace. After death, her body decayed, and even her bones are whiter than those of ordinary people..." Mao Buhui said in a low voice.
I looked at her unhappily, then took a deep breath, bowed to the corpse, and said, "I am Zhang Qianyu, and I am already married to Luohua Wuhen. Today, I came here by chance and got this thing. I will not keep it to myself. I will return it to Zhao in its entirety and to Luohua Wuhen, the heir of Guanghan Palace. Please rest in peace."
Fairy Feihua seemed to have really heard my words. As I finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a cold wind suddenly rose, and the dry bones in the coffin turned into powder and dissipated into the void.
