Jun Moyao nodded, "Of course, but each of Huan Kui's melon seeds can only transform a person once, and the transformation process requires Huan Kui to operate it personally. The effect lasts for twelve hours, after which it becomes invalid."
That's quite remarkable.
The twelve two-hour periods are equivalent to a day and a night.
In such a long period of time, she can accomplish so many things!
Seeing Rong Zi's reaction, 'Cai Niu' transformed back into her sunflower form, nervously covering her little sunflower seeds with her leaves.
"Since I gained sentience, I've only grown one melon seed a year. I've been saving them for over two hundred years, and I've only managed to collect a little over two hundred. Could you... could you please not eat my melon seeds?"
Little Sunflower's words sounded so pitiful.
Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any moment.
Rong Zi looked at its aggrieved expression and thought of the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones it had squandered.
My heart instantly turned to stone!
She leaned over, rested one hand on the table in front of her, and tapped Little Sunflower's head.
"I still have over two hundred days' worth of spirit stones saved up. Did you ask for my permission before you ate them?"
Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, gone just like that!
Just thinking about it now makes her feel a sharp pain in her heart!
Little Sunflower choked for a moment, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Waaaaah... My sunflower seeds are like my children, you... you're so cruel, how could you eat my children?"
Rong Zi: "..."
When she couldn't win an argument, she cried and pretended to be pitiful. This little thing, who clearly doesn't have a brain, is surprisingly clever...
Rong Zi was driven crazy by its crying, and warned with a stern face, "If you cry again, I'll pluck all your children and turn them into caramel melon seeds!"
Little Sunflower trembled in fright.
It clutched its sunflower seeds even tighter, its head drooping, trying to hold back its tears with each sob.
Seeing that it was really pitiful, Yun Jing reached out his little hand and touched the petals around its head. He frowned and looked at Rong Zi.
"Master, it looks so pitiful."
Hearing Yun Jing's words, Xiao Kuihua subtly moved closer to him, continuing to hug herself pitifully.
Rong Zi met Yun Jing's gaze, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.
Jun Moyao interjected at the opportune moment, saying, "Yun Jing, don't be fooled by it. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Illusionary Sunflower is a plant. Besides its transformation skills, its other specialty is acting and playing the victim."
Yun Jing blinked in surprise.
Is it fake?
Jun Moyao squinted and glanced at the little sunflower in front of him.
"Judging from how round and plump your melon seeds are, you must have used this trick to swindle treasures from monsters or humans quite a few times, right?"
Huan Kui has a huge appetite and can change its form at will.
Therefore, in order to fill its stomach, it usually transforms itself into a cub of a monster.
Even humans.
It uses this to trick others into handing over the rare and precious materials it desires.
This phantom sunflower has been sentient for over two hundred years.
Over the past two hundred years, the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm has been opened countless times.
Moreover, judging by how skillfully this Illusion Sunflower feigns pitifulness, it must have tricked cultivators out of quite a few things every time the secret realm opened...
After all, as long as you transform into someone's companion or fellow disciple, it's not difficult to swindle something.
Rong Zi grabbed Little Sunflower.
"Oh, so you're putting on a play with me here?"
I've never seen anything like this before!
She never imagined that one day she would be fooled by a small sunflower!
Now that she'd been found out, Little Sunflower stopped pretending and started flailing about in Rong Zi's hands.
"Ahhh! Let me go! I'm warning you, don't you dare touch my sunflower seeds!"
Rong Zi held it tightly and said in a low voice, "If I were you, I would definitely be more pragmatic."
Little Sunflower was taken aback.
Rong Zi's lips curled into a meaningful smile as she slowly continued speaking.
"If you don't resist, I might just occasionally pick one of your sunflower seeds. But if you stubbornly refuse, I might get angry and pluck all your sunflower seeds at once!"
Little Sunflower looked at the smile on her lips and was truly frightened this time.
Its melon seeds...
She didn't want her face to become just a bunch of ugly, sunflower seed-like dents!
Seeing that the sunflower's leaves were drooping, Rong Zi smiled and touched its petals.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had behaved this way from the beginning?"
Little Sunflower: ...I feel wronged, but I dare not say it!
Seeing this, Jun Moyao continued to explain the information about the Illusionary Sunflower to Rong Zi.
"Besides the melon seeds, the petals around its head are also extraordinary."
"The ray-shaped flowers on the outer edge of the Illusion Sunflower's head will not wither. In terms of nourishing spiritual consciousness, almost nothing can match it. Even if your spiritual consciousness is exhausted, as long as you eat a petal of it, you can restore your spiritual consciousness to its best state in an instant."
"At the same time, the petals of the Illusion Sunflower are also the nemesis of all illusions."
“When we were trapped in the illusion array in the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm, if we had known that you had the Illusion Sunflower in your ring, things would have been much simpler. We wouldn’t have needed the help of a Nascent Soul cultivator to easily break the illusion array there.”
Rong Zi listened silently, her eyes gradually brightening as she watched Xiao Kuihua.
Tsk tsk tsk!
This little one is a treasure from head to toe!
Little Sunflower felt her whole body goosebumps under Rong Zi's gaze.
It stared intently at Jun Moyao, wishing it could rush forward and bite him to death!
