Chapter 50 I, Ye the Fox, Never Pick Flowers
"Who are you?" The petals of the fragrant Qiluo Fairy Tale opened and closed slightly, her voice still gentle, giving a very pleasant feeling. ♤🎃 6➈𝕊𝕙Ǘ𝓍.𝒸ㄖ𝐦 ♥😳
"Guess?" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
With a gentle sway, a fiery red light suddenly shot out from behind the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, but instead of heading towards Ye Nanxiao, it condensed in front of it into a fiery red flower that resembled its original form but was only one-tenth the size.
"This flower? A 100,000-year-old soul beast?" Xue Di frowned slightly. Ye Nanxiao's cultivation level was not high enough to escape from a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even with Xue Di's help, she would need to use her own source.
"I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast. This is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. I am the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal. You can call me, um, Youyou. Isn't that nice? I specially came up with this name." Youyou said, swaying her flower-like body.
"But you can't touch me anymore!" Youyou said, manipulating the fiery red flower in front of her.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and withdrew his hand from the petals; this talkative flower was quite plump.
"Such rich spiritual energy!" Snow Emperor exclaimed. The two different colored lakes in front of her seemed to have melted into the spiritual energy, which made the rich spiritual energy extremely domineering.
"So, human, what are you doing here?" she asked softly.
Ye Nanxiao scratched his head. "Well, I came here to find a flower, a cockscomb phoenix sunflower."
"Okay, but you have to convince it yourself, and you also have to pass my test. Are you that person's descendant?" Youyou asked.
"That person?" Ye Nanxiao was taken aback.
"Yes, that person left after planting us here. Is he alright? We haven't seen him in so long. He doesn't even come to see us. Really, really," Youyou sighed.
"Oh, it's him. He's doing quite well. I'm considered his descendant," Ye Nanxiao said. Tang San was indeed doing well. As the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan, he was practically one of their own.
"So you're here to pick up a book?" Youyou asked.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head. That book was for Huo Yuhao, and it wasn't very useful to him. His purpose for this trip was just to get the Phoenix Sunflower and see if he could pick the Acacia Heartbreak Red. If he found a corresponding box, he would also take a few more immortal herbs.
"Oh, is that so? Should I test you? But you didn't take the book. How about you prove that you are his descendant?" Youyou asked.
"Yeah, that works too," Ye Nanxiao said frankly.
"Let me think about how to test you?" she pondered.
Ye Nanxiao remained completely calm. He made a chair out of ice and sat comfortably on it, gazing at the fragrant and exquisite immortal products.
"Ah, I've got it! I'll give you a kind of immortal herb. If you don't die, you'll be his descendant. If you die, you'll become fertilizer," Youyou said excitedly.
As expected, Ye Nanxiao had been wondering if this was the test for the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item when he faced it. After all, this thing wasn't very smart, but it was really talkative.
"Have you made up your mind?" Xue Di asked, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Alright, Xue'er, I won't die until your wish is fulfilled," Ye Nanxiao said confidently.
The fragrant fairy said leisurely, "Don't be in such a hurry. I've lived for tens of thousands of years. What kind of storms haven't I seen? Let me take a look at your body first, and then I'll decide what to feed you. Don't worry, it's all good stuff. There's only good stuff here."
As it spoke, a purple light drifted out from its stamen and landed on Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao remained vigilant, but facing the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item, which was comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul beast, killing him would be a piece of cake. There was no need for any underhanded tactics. In any case, Ye Nanxiao's "mind's eye" did not anticipate the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item's actions, so he simply relaxed.
There seemed to be no offensive power within the purple light. After a moment, the purple light receded, and the Fragrant Silk Fairy said to herself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. In that case, then I'll give you that to eat."
As it spoke, another beam of purple light shot out from its flower stamen. This beam of purple light traveled an extremely long distance, spanning more than a hundred meters, and landed in a patch of vegetation far from the Cold-grade spiritual spring.
The purple light paused only slightly before slowly receding. As the purple light faded, Ye Nanxiao clearly saw a fruit appear at the end of the purple light.
The fruit was ice-blue with patterns resembling frost marks. It was very small, and when it landed in Ye Nanxiao's hand accompanied by a purple light, it was only the size of his palm.
Without hesitation, Ye Nanxiao swallowed the fruit. The fruit melted instantly in his mouth, turning into a cool liquid. Ye Nanxiao felt comfortable and refreshed all over.
Before the fruit's effects could take hold, Ye Nanxiao looked at Youyou and asked, "Can I go find the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower now?"
"Hmm? Aren't you scared?" The enormous, gloomy body shook its head.
"Aren't we going to eat this? The poisonous ones would have died long ago." Ye Nanxiao said casually. As soon as he finished speaking, a chill burst out from Ye Nanxiao's body. Ye Nanxiao immediately controlled the chill and suppressed it back into his body.
"Well, okay, you win. You're really brave. You're the first one to be this brave," Youyou said.
"Wait, Youyou, I want to see him." A cool voice rang out.
"Hmm, star anise? Is there something you need?" Youyou shook her many petals.
Ye Nanxiao looked towards the Frosty Spirit Spring following the sound. The top of the white herb resembled a large, octagonal white flower, with tiny, shimmering stamens in the center like ice crystals. It emitted no fragrance. And its location was precisely at the center of one side of the Frosty Yin Spring.
Eight-cornered Ice Grass! Ye Nanxiao was very curious about why this immortal herb wanted to find him; it had delivered itself to his door before he had even started looking for it.
"Human, do you need a spirit ring?" Octagon's words shocked Youyou.
The enormous flower-like body of the fragrant fairy plant shook wildly as it anxiously cried out, "Eight-cornered bird, what are you thinking? Do you despise me? After all these years, how can you treat me like this? I'm so heartbroken! I cried, I really cried!"
Ignoring the grumbling Fragrant Fairy Herb, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass continued speaking to Ye Nanxiao, "I want to go with you. You are of the ice attribute, right? I can feel the pure chill within you."
"Why?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass with interest. "I haven't even started trying to trick you, and you've already fallen for it? A freebie?"
"The aura emanating from you is even more comfortable than that of the Frosty Spring, and there is also a very strong chill within you," Bajiao said coldly.
A stream of light emerged from between Ye Nanxiao's brows, and the Snow Emperor appeared beside him, coldly looking at the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and saying, "This person belongs to me."
"This is! The aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, no, it's even stronger than the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast! Human, who exactly are you?!" The words of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin carried a hint of fear. The aura emanating from Xue Di caused all the soul beasts here to tremble. Among them, Liehuo Xingjiao trembled the most violently, its cabbage-like body completely shrinking.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was not afraid of the Snow Empress's pressure at all. Although her words were a little unnatural, she still stubbornly said, "How you decide is not your business, Snow Maiden."
Xue Di turned her head and stared at Ye Nanxiao. A 100,000-year-old soul beast offered itself as a sacrifice. Such a great temptation seemed to give Ye Nanxiao, a soul master, no reason to refuse. However, Xue Di still felt uncomfortable.
Xue Di understood that Ye Nanxiao would lack soul rings in his future cultivation, so she was very conflicted. It was rare for a 100,000-year-old soul beast to come to her door, and it was also of the ice attribute. Logically, Ye Nanxiao should accept it.
However, the thought of having other beasts in her little den, which she had occupied for so long, still made Xue Di feel uncomfortable.
Ye Nanxiao understood what Xue Di was thinking just by looking at her expression. He smiled and realized that Xue Di sometimes acted like a spoiled girl.
Faced with the immense temptation of a 100,000-year soul ring, Ye Nanxiao admitted that he had considered it for a moment, but then he took into account his current situation.
Holding Xue Di's small hand, Ye Nanxiao looked at her tenderly and said, "I choose your choice, and your choice is my choice."
Ye Nanxiao handed over the decision-making power to the Snow Emperor, which silenced the fragrant herbs and other immortal plants.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass fell silent. The human in front of it had an exceptionally high level of composure. Although the presence of the Snow Emperor within Ye Nanxiao surprised the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, it was even more surprised by Ye Nanxiao's concern for the Snow Emperor.
This action greatly shocked all the immortals watching the show, and at the same time changed their opinion of Ye Nanxiao quite a bit.
Snow Empress gripped Ye Nanxiao's large hand tightly and said to the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, "We still need time. We will meet again. I will welcome you next time we meet."
Ye Nanxiao smiled at the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and said apologetically, "My Empress has spoken."
"We'll meet again," the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass said, then fell silent.
"Yes, but the situation is special right now. You are very powerful and beautiful, but my physical condition is currently special," Ye Nanxiao said.
After saying that, he stood up, took Xue Di's small hand, and led her to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, asking, "Where is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower?"
The Snow Empress did not refuse the request for the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Instead, she chose to wait until Ye Nanxiao had absorbed all of her power before returning to find the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Ye Nanxiao's body could not currently accommodate the power of a second 100,000-year-old soul beast, as the Great Fox was still there.
As for why Huo Gua could withstand so many soul beast sacrifices, firstly, you need a torso skeleton, and secondly, a million-year-old insect baby.
As for Xue Di's soul bone, Ye Nanxiao has not yet fully integrated and absorbed all of Xue Di's original power. After he has fully absorbed it, Ye Nanxiao will have the opportunity to nurture and condense the most suitable one for himself.
At that time, Ye Nanxiao's own strength will definitely increase several times, or even more.
The Fragrant Fairy Flower raised a petal and pointed towards the Blazing Spirit Spring, saying weakly, "It's over there. Go find it yourself."
"Thanks." Ye Nanxiao pulled Xue Di toward the direction indicated by the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item.
"Hmph, a little blade of grass dares to try and steal my man? Get in line!" the Snow Empress said domineeringly.
"It's not about stealing a man, she just wants to follow me," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly, unable to do anything about Xue Di's occasional arrogance.
"Hmph, I don't care, no one can take you from me." The Snow Empress leaned down and stared at Ye Nanxiao, saying each word clearly.
"At least not now," Xue Di added in her mind.
"Where's Nannan?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile.
"Uh, humans are different." Xue Di immediately lost her empress aura and quickly turned her head away.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and walked to a fiery red immortal herb.
The tips of the leaves resemble the crest of a rooster. Upon closer inspection, one can discover its unique feature: the veins are a reddish-gold color, and the temperature around the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower is quite high.
However, with Xue Di by her side, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower trembled all over.
Ye Nanxiao asked symbolically, "How about I let you follow the descendants of the Evil Fire Phoenix?"
The Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower swayed slightly, and Ye Nanxiao, without hesitation, nodded in a mock manner. Then, his hands turned white as jade as he carefully picked the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower. As for the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower's response, it was undoubtedly an agreement.
Ye Nanxiao placed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into a jade box and put it into his ring. He then addressed the Fragrant Silk Fairy, saying, "I, Ye, never steal flowers. We're all civilized people; we should be reasonable, right? The Cockscomb Flower agreed!"
As he spoke, Ye Nanxiao looked around, and no one voiced any objection.
"There are still love-sickness herbs here, right?" Ye Nanxiao asked, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, but are you sure you want to pick it?" said the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. "I don't know how many there are, but since you know about this immortal herb, you must also know the conditions for obtaining it, right?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded. "By the way, can I take a look at that book? Anyway, I've passed your test, so don't worry, I'll just look at it and won't take it with me."
"Oh, here you go." A purple light rose from the huge stamen of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Flower, and the purple light fell into Ye Nanxiao's hand and turned into an antique book. The book was pure white and made of some unknown material. The book itself was soft, somewhat like silk, but much tougher than silk, and had a faint warm feel to the touch.
There were no words or signature on the cover, so Ye Nanxiao turned to the first page of the book.
Seeing that it was an introduction left by Tang San, Ye Nanxiao immediately searched for information about the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass: "The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass only loves those who are truly in love. Never force it! Remember! Remember!"
After reading Tang San's last sentence about the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass, Ye Nanxiao returned the book to Youxiang Qiluo Immortal.
Ye Nanxiao's decision was not impulsive, because if nothing unexpected happened, there would be more than one Acacia Heartbreak Grass, and Ye Nanxiao wanted to test himself.
"Why?" Xue Di asked, puzzled.
"I've discovered that there's more than one person in my heart, and I want to see myself clearly." Ye Nanxiao's expression was relaxed, but Xue Di saw that Ye Nanxiao clenched his fists.
Xue Di did not stop Ye Nanxiao, but only said to him, "If you are in danger, I will help you, regardless of whether you can pick it off or not." After saying that, she walked to the side.
Ye Nanxiao had always been confused. Having lived two lives, he was initially happy to come to this world because he could see the people he liked, but the plans never went according to Ye Nanxiao's wishes.
"Nannan." Ye Nanxiao murmured as he approached the dark, large rock and looked down at the small white flower that appeared so frail it seemed a gust of wind could blow it over.
The white flowers resemble peonies, but are more delicate. They have no fragrance, no other decorations, not even a single leaf. All that remains is a faint crimson, a sorrowful crimson.
