Then it used the second-to-last branch to pick it up, and then the ones on the second branch also fell off.
This process repeated itself, causing the twigs to rustle and the jade stones on the branches above waist height to fall off, until finally it began to vibrate wildly with a "buzzing" sound.
Ji Fengyao looked at the trembling sapling and seemed to hear its pitiful cries, so she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The little creature's actions are just like the story of "monkeys picking corn" on Earth.
Hearing Ji Fengyao laugh, the sapling trembled even more violently, as if it was angry at her unscrupulous robbery that had stolen its jade.
"This jade is your food," Ji Fengyao asked, leaning closer to the creature in a tone that suggested she was abducting a child, knowing it had some intelligence.
"Buzz! Buzz..." The sapling trembled violently, then trembled gently twice more.
Ji Fengyao didn't understand for a moment whether it was true or not, so she coaxed, "Do you prefer to eat this jade or the spiritual mist I gave you? Shake it once if you like the former, and shake it twice if you like the latter."
"Buzz!" The sapling's branches and leaves suddenly trembled twice with a firm shake.
In a moment of excitement, two more pieces of jade fell, leading to a chaotic flurry of picking up and dropping more pieces.
"This little thing doesn't seem very bright," Ji Huo laughed, amused.
"Buzzing...!"
The sapling trembled wildly, as if it wanted to swing its branches to lash out at the raging fire, but dared not.
After all that commotion, less than one-tenth of the jade it was holding remained.
The sapling was so angry that its branches and leaves withered, and it trembled softly with a "buzzing" sound, looking very sad.
"How about this, you make a pact with me and become my spirit pet, then I will transplant you into a space full of that spirit mist; as long as you are obedient, you can eat spirit mist whenever you want in the future, what do you think?" Ji Fengyao coaxed the sapling with a smile.
"Buzz!" Upon hearing this, the sapling immediately straightened its branches and leaves, regaining its vitality.
Ji Fengyao knew it had agreed, so she quickly made a hand seal, cast a master-servant covenant mark, and pushed it onto the sapling.
The sapling didn't flinch; instead, it proactively stretched out a few slender branches, guiding the wedge mark downstream.
The mark stopped at the center of the sapling's rootstock, flickered a few times, and then completely merged into it.
Ji Fengyao felt that she had established a strange connection with the sapling, a connection she also had with the Extreme Fire.
However, her connection with Jihuo is much deeper.
“I’m going to try to take you into the Spirit Mist Space. Don’t resist.” Ji Fengyao gently grasped the trunk at the base of the sapling. After thinking for a moment, she added, “If that doesn’t work, I might have to pluck a leaf from you and take it in first, so that the space can get used to your presence before taking you in.”
The little sapling, "Good," is not yet fully developed in its intelligence and cannot speak, but it can convey its emotions and general meaning to Ji Fengyao.
With Xiaoshu's permission, Ji Fengyao closed her eyes, thought of a corner of the large garden by the water, and silently said, "Go in."
Unexpectedly, she easily took the sapling into the Tower of Life.
But instead of taking root in a corner by the water as she had imagined, it took root in the middle of the pond in the large garden.
A gentle rustling sound emanated from the branches and leaves.
The sapling grew from a little over one meter tall to a tree over three meters tall in an instant!
The branches and leaves, as green as jade, were crystal clear and shimmering with a radiant glow, clearly indicating that they were no ordinary specimens.
"Wow! A big tree! I love it!" Little Thirteen exclaimed, clapping his chubby little hands on the grass nearby.
