Although Ling Mo lost the competition, Rong Zi was quite satisfied with the result.
The stronger Xiaobai is.
The more she spent those spirit stones, the more it proved that it was worth it.
With Xiaobai and Lingmo in charge, the master and apprentice can now hold their heads high when they go out, no longer needing to be subservient.
What's so special about Yun Qin having a senior brother at the Nascent Soul stage?
She has disciples at the Nascent Soul stage!
If she dares to act recklessly in front of her again, she'll have Ling Mo slap her away and let her experience the pleasure of being tortured!
...
"What...what do you want to do?"
That night, Little Sunflower huddled in a corner, trembling as she watched Rong Zi approach with a malicious look on her face.
Is this woman finally going to take action against it?
Waaah...
It knows.
Anyone who stays will absolutely not escape this fate.
Rong Zi squatted down in front of Xiao Kuihua with a smile, "How about we make a deal?"
"What do you want to discuss?" Little Sunflower asked warily.
"I want to pick a few of your petals." Rong Zi held up four fingers. "Just four."
How can we just let it go after consuming so many of her spirit stones?
We have to recoup some of our losses first...
Little Sunflower's eyes widened when she heard this.
It quickly covered its petals with its leaves, resolutely refusing, "No, absolutely not, I won't do it!"
It only has thirty petals in its entire life, and Rong Zi wants to pluck four of them?!
Without the petals, it became an ugly monster.
This was even more unacceptable to it than losing its life.
Seeing that it wasn't cooperating, Rong Zi tugged at its leaves and said, "You're going a bit too far! You've eaten so many of my high-grade spirit stones, you can't just eat them for free, can you?"
"No way!" Little Sunflower pushed her hand away, stubbornly sticking out her sunflower head and angrily saying, "I have no petals, but you can take my life!"
Rong Zi rested his chin on one hand, pondered for a moment as if he were serious, and then nodded in agreement with what it said.
"That's okay too."
Little Sunflower was taken aback. "Wh...what?"
Rong Zi remained calm. "Since you think four petals are more important than your life, then you can take care of it yourself. It will save me the trouble."
“It’s not too late for me to take your petals after you die, and I can get thirty petals at once, which is a good thing for me.”
The little sunflower was shocked, its leaves trembling as it pointed at Rong Zi.
"You...you...how could you be so cruel?"
To get its petals, she actually wanted its life?
Rong Zi blinked and asked in return, "Didn't you say it yourself? You have no flower petals, but you can take my life?"
"I'm saying this to make you compromise and stop trying to take my petals, not to make you want to kill me!" Little Sunflower was furious, her voice filled with gritted teeth.
Sitting not far away, Gu Xiaochui, who was eating a piece of dried monster meat, suddenly chimed in.
"Then your plan may fall through."
Ling Mo lost to Xiao Bai today, and was somewhat discouraged.
As soon as the competition ended, he went into seclusion to cultivate.
Rong Zi now only has two apprentices, Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing.
Upon hearing Gu Xiaochui's words, Xiaokuihua looked past Rong Zi and towards him.
With a piece of jerky dangling from his mouth, Gu Xiaochui continued, "You might not know this, but our master loves to eat everything, except for being taken advantage of. You've squandered so many of her spirit stones; if you can't create some value for her, you might really lose your life!"
His tone was light and casual, but it sent a chill down Xiao Kuihua's spine.
How did she end up in the hands of such a little devil?
I want to cry...
Seeing that Gu Xiaochui was eating with relish, Yun Jing took a piece of jerky from his hand and took a bite.
He joined in trying to persuade Little Sunflower.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: while our master is still easy to talk to, you'd better give in as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Yun Jing paused slightly, then waved the dried meat in his hand at Xiao Kuihua.
"Do you see this monster meat?"
"This may be your fate."
These two fellow disciples, working in perfect harmony, made Little Sunflower's roots tremble.
Given Rong Zi's personality, she might actually be capable of anything.
Although it shouts, "I have no petals, but you can take my life," it is actually afraid of death deep down.
Having lived for ten thousand years before gaining sentience, it didn't want to just die like that.
Little Sunflower looked distressed and hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking Rong Zi.
"Really only four pieces?"
Seeing that it had agreed, Rong Zi's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "Of course, I, Rong Zi, always keep my word. I said I would only pick four leaves this time, and I will definitely not pick more."
Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing nodded in agreement.
"Our master is a man of his word and would never lie."
After they finished speaking, Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing exchanged a glance.
They won't lie.
But the key point is that this little sunflower isn't a person...
Besides, their master only said that they would only pick four leaves this time, not that they wouldn't pick any next time.
It has to be said.
After hanging out with Rong Zi for a long time, Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing were more or less assimilated by her and became increasingly like dogs.
...
In the end, Little Sunflower reluctantly gave in.
Worried that Rong Zi might do something bad, it still took matters into its own hands, its face full of pain, and carefully plucked off its four petals.
To avoid looking too ugly, the little sunflowers were picked selectively.
One petal is picked only every eight or nine petals.
At least, on the surface, it doesn't look like there's a noticeable gap from picking four leaves in a row.
It won't be too ugly.
With a smile on her face, Rong Zi took the four petals of the little sunflower and, like petting a puppy, lovingly rubbed its sunflower head.
"Good girl~"
The little sunflower covered her eyes with a leaf, burst into tears, and then ran away looking pitiful.
Seeing this, Yun Jing hesitated before saying, "Master, Little Sunflower..."
"It's okay, you won't die from crying."
Rong Zi gave three petals to him and Gu Xiaochui, and explained them to them.
"These two petals are for you. The other one will be given to Ling Mo after he comes out of seclusion. Once you absorb the petals of the Illusionary Sunflower, your spiritual senses should be significantly enhanced."
Before coming to ask Xiao Kuihua for petals, she inquired in detail about the uses of Huan Kui from Jun Moyao and also found a book that recorded the Huan Kui plant.
It must be said that this little sunflower is extraordinary.
It's quite peculiar.
The seeds of the Illusion Sunflower can transform people at will, just like the sunflower itself; the principle behind this is actually a high-level illusion technique.
Its petals, however, are the nemesis of all illusions and magic.
If a person absorbs its petals, not only will their spiritual consciousness be greatly nourished, but they will also be able to see through most illusions in the future.
It's practically comparable to Sun Wukong's fiery eyes.
With such a wonderful thing right in front of her, if Rong Zi didn't take it, she wouldn't be Rong Zi.
