Chapter 56 - The Radishs Manifestation (1/2)

The three arrived at the forest. The moment they landed, Radish’s entire body began to emit red light and elongate. The Vegetation Spirit Qi around it began to surge. Lonemoon quickly set up a defensive array formation and a Spirit Qi condensing array formation. Radish’s entire body had become red and the Vegetation Spirit Qi around it was becoming thicker. The rich Spirit Qi had already caused the plants within a radius of several meters to mature at rapid speed, growing into a dome surrounding the radish.

The three of them were forced to retreat about ten meters. From where they stood, they could no longer see the radish’s body. They could only see the plants around it forming a dome that they could not look into. The sky began to darken, lightning flashing across it.

“It’s about to transform,” Lonemoon reminded the other two. He turned around and set up another array formation around the group.

In the next moment, there was a loud crack of thunder and a streak of lightning lit up the sky, striking the plants beneath it. Half of the forest seemed to have been burnt by that lightning strike. Yet bolts of lightning still continued to fall, streak after streak, each one more powerful than the last. Only several seconds had passed before they realized that the dome of plants had mostly been struck down. A cloud of dust continued to hide the radish’s body from sight and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

9,981 streaks of lightning struck the ground before the clouds began to clear up. The forest now began to lighten up once more. The ground where the radish had been standing was now black and there was a big pit in its place.

“It was burnt?” Shen Ying couldn’t stop herself from asking. There were no signs of any life.

“Master, it’s alright,” Yi Qing answered. “Before the Vegetation Spirit takes form, it is unaffected by anything that happens in the natural world. The Lightning Tribulation does the least harm to these spirits.”

Indeed, the next moment, the once black land where Radish stood turned back to green just like in springtime. A moment later, flowers began to bloom from the grass which had sprouted, the ground becoming covered in red and purple.

A figure emerged from the pit, using its hands and legs to crawl out. It looked like a fifteen to sixteen-year-old teenage girl who wore a green robe, her long hair reaching the ground. She had a gentle face and was strikingly beautiful, looking like she was a perfect creation of heaven. The flowers around her suddenly seemed pale in comparison. Even Qi Chengyu couldn’t compare to her beauty.

The sun and moon seemed insignificant compared to this girl—she was now all that mattered.

The group of three was stunned, their heavy breathing in sync. All of them were amazed at the human form that the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth took. Her smile was sweeter than a thousand flowers and her giggle sounded extremely pleasing to the ears.

“Little Missy, I’ve taken form… Aiya!” But before she could finish, she tripped. Her perfect form fell to the ground and she began to roll toward the group of three, stopping right before their feet.

The three of them frowned: “…”

Faintly, they heard sounds of that perfect image cracking.

Ah! It’s indeed the radish.

-_-|||

“Little Missy…” It raised its head pitifully and hugged her thigh out of habit.

Shen Ying frowned in disgust and took a huge step back. “Get lost! You’re so gay!”

“…”

“Hey.” Shen Ying smacked Lonemoon’s arm. “Is it a guy or a girl?”

“How would I know?” Lonemoon scanned the radish and continued, “Spirit herbs mostly don’t have genders. Naturally, once it takes form, it could take on either gender.”

“A human demon?” Shen Ying hesitated. She took another step back in disgust.

The radish was stunned. Its entire body went limp like a shriveled eggplant and its eyes began to well up. It no longer had the glamor and beauty it had before.

The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he looked at the human-radish in front of them whose tears were now flowing. He began to explain, “It just took form and it’s not used to walking, so that’s why it’s behaving this way. It’ll be alright in a few days.” He couldn’t help but step forward. He offered a hand to the radish and said, “Stand up.”

The radish’s expression became cold. It smacked Lonemoon’s hand away and shouted, “Get lost, Ugly!”

“…”

It turned back to Shen Ying and continued to cry, “Wa… wa… Radish needs Little Missy to carry it up before it can stand.”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”
