Chapter 653: Chapter 647 Purple Fruit
Just as she was secretly delighted, she suddenly discovered that Ye Xuan was no longer by her side.
When she located where Ye Xuan was, he had already reached the Immortal Spirit Grass, plucked it, and stored it in a jade box.
This guy, he actually took the Immortal Spirit Grass while she wasn’t paying attention.
“You… you shaless bastard!”
Zuo Shi was stunned for a mont, and then reacted, imdiately becoming furious.
“How am I shaless when I fought hard to get this? Shouldn’t it belong to ?”
Ye Xuan grinned as he spoke.
“You!”
Zuo Shi was at a loss for words and could only watch helplessly.
“Senior Sister Zuo, do you rember the bet we made earlier? Does it still count?”
Ye Xuan walked over with a aningful look in his eyes.
“Of… of course it counts.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Shi panicked, realizing he still rembered their bet.
“So, shouldn’t you fulfill the terms of the bet now?” Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a teasing smile as he continued to approach Zuo Shi.
“How… how should I fulfill it?”
Zuo Shi swallowed hard, unsure of what conditions Ye Xuan would propose, considering she had previously stated she would agree to any condition.
“Well… let think, since Senior Sister looks quite good, how about you marry ?” Ye Xuan pretended to ponder for a few seconds then casually suggested.
“What? Absolutely not!”
Zuo Shi’s pretty face drastically changed, and she imdiately refused, blushing.
“Just kidding, look at how nervous you are. If I really wanted you to marry , you should be thrilled.” Seeing Zuo Shi’s flustered expression, Ye Xuan finally spoke the truth, smiling lightly.
“Are you playing with ?”
Hearing this, Zuo Shi’s face changed again, and she was so angry that she stomped her foot. Just as she was about to burst out, Ye Xuan suddenly tossed the jade box containing the Immortal Spirit Grass to her.
“What are you doing?” Zuo Shi was stunned, not quite catching on.
“This Immortal Spirit Grass is for you as a thank you for helping just now. And, of course, it is also an apology for my earlier offense.”
Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.
“For ?”
Zuo Shi was sowhat incredulous. The Immortal Spirit Grass was hard-won by Ye Xuan, and now he was giving it to her for free? Was this the sa detestable scoundrel?
“Don’t give it back to .”
Ye Xuan glanced at Zuo Shi, seemingly becoming impatient, and reached out to take back the jade box, but Zuo Shi dodged him.
“Who said I didn’t want it? Free stuff should never be turned down. You’re giving this willingly, so don’t regret it later.” Zuo Shi quickly stored away the Immortal Spirit Grass, which would greatly benefit her Cultivation.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan finally smiled. The Immortal Spirit Grass indeed had a decent supportive effect for Martial Venerate Experts, but the effect wasn’t too significant. If it were sothing exceedingly rare, he wouldn’t have given it away so easily. He had his reasons for gifting the Immortal Spirit Grass.
“So, Senior Sister Zuo, should we consider our accounts settled then?” Ye Xuan spoke with a cheerful smile.
Zuo Shi’s delicate hands played with the Spiritual Lotus Seed, unable to hide the gleam of delight in her eyes. Then she raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a beaming smile, “You’ve done well this ti, I’ll let it slide just this once and not hold it against you.”
Ye Xuan smiled and responded, “If that’s the case, I’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay.”
Having obtained the Immortal Spirit Grass, Zuo Shi held no further resentnt towards Ye Xuan. Additionally, since Ye Xuan would still be a part of the Moon Spirit Association, their relationship was now even closer. As for Ye Xuan’s previous offense, she also bore so responsibility. If she hadn’t been so unreasonable, none of that would have happened.
With that, Ye Xuan bowed his hands and turned to dart away swiftly.
Zuo Shi watched his retreating figure, contemplating for a mont before swiftly turning and leading her people in another direction.
However, the departing Ye Xuan didn’t imdiately leave the valley but went to another place within it.
“The other hidden treasure, it should be right here.”
Ye Xuan landed, surveyed the surroundings, and muttered to himself.
He had previously felt that the phenonon that had occurred could not be caused only by a single Immortal Spirit Grass; surely, there were other treasures. Having used the Shennong Qi Observation Skill, he had found this place.
This treasure should be even rarer than the Immortal Spirit Grass.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have freely given the Immortal Spirit Grass to Zuo Shi.
After a ticulous observation, Ye Xuan’s eyes sparked with recognition, and eventually, at the foot of the mountain, he found a one-ter-tall purple Spirit Plant. Its main stem was purple, and its leaves were aqua intermixed with purple hues. Among those branches, vividly colored purple-red fruits conspicuously hung.
“It’s the Purple Fruit.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, and a smile crossed his lips—his intuition hadn’t been wrong after all.
The Purple Fruit was indeed more valuable than the Immortal Spirit Grass, especially since there were three fruits on it, greatly enhancing its value.
The advantage now was the absence of others; unlike earlier, there was no need for a fight to the death. He could just quietly make a fortune. No one was there to compete with him for the pickings.
Ye Xuan stepped forward and plucked the three Purple Fruits in succession, silently placing them into a box.
“Not a bad harvest.”
A smile graced his lips. If the disciples from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land knew about his three Purple Fruits, it would likely cause quite the storm.
Just as Ye Xuan finished collecting the fruits and was ready to leave, suddenly, a noise resounded from behind.
Soone was there.
Ye Xuan’s expression tensed, and he spun around. Unexpectedly, a mysterious figure in dark clothes had appeared not far behind him. The man of average looks and sowhat thin build emitted a potent and unfathomable aura.
Ye Xuan couldn’t discern the real cultivation level of the figure, but he surmised that this man surely was a Saint of the Martial Saint Realm; otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared so stealthily and undetectably.
“How strange, soone arrived even before .”
The man in dark clothes, evidently surprised to see Ye Xuan, asked, “Who are you?”
A wary look flashed across Ye Xuan’s face, conceivably, his earlier action of collecting the Purple Fruit had been witnessed by this man.
“My na is Ling Hanye. Junior brother, rest assured, I’m rely passing by and an no offense.”
The man in dark clothes calmly smiled at Ye Xuan, showing no intention of aggression, “That was Purple Fruit just now. It doesn’t serve much purpose for soone at my level. I presu the junior brother understands this, so there’s no need to be so nervous.”
The sudden appearance and profound strength of this senior brother was a normal reaction for Ye Xuan. He sowhat lowered his guard but remained cautiously vigilant. Though the man was a disciple from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, complete trust was out of the question since even if he killed him there and disposed of the evidence, no one would know who did it.
