”It said it was willing to come with us.” Zhang Xiaoloong said simply.
In fact, he knew clearly that the reason the Spirit Grass King had such an expression was probably because it felt the divine power from him.
When he was treating Yang Jingjing just now, besides applying the ointment, he also used a bit of divine power to heal her wounds. He was afraid that they wouldn't be able to recover as soon as possible and would affect their journey down the mountain.
However, if he were to use his God Power directly, he would have to be afraid of Yang Jingjing. Moreover, the effects of the Nine Deaths Soul-Returning Grass were not bad.
This Nine Lives Soul Grass clearly had its own intelligence, and it might not be able to sense other divine powers, but it was the closest divine power to the Hundred Herbs Sect, so it would definitely not recognize it wrongly. That was why it immediately showed its intimacy.
Of course, it would be too exaggerated to say that it was because it knew Shennong's God Power. However, since the Spirit Grass had its own intelligence, it couldn't be wrong to feel the benefits of this God Power.
”Then, can we bring this Soul-Returning Grass back?” Yang Jingjing was no longer afraid. On the contrary, she looked forward to it.
A spiritual herb was undoubtedly a fatal attraction to someone like her, who was born with a strong curiosity.
”Wait a minute,” Zhang Xiaoloong stopped the other party, ”If we want to make a move on this 200 year old Spirit Returning Grass King, no matter what, we have to show some expression.”
Yang Jingjing did not understand for a moment. There were many ways to express her feelings, but it was just like giving money to a gift. Some of the darker ones even offered temptations that no one could resist. However, as far as a medicinal plant was concerned, what sort of explanation could confusion have?
She didn't ask because she knew Zhang Xiaoloong would tell her soon.
However, Zhang Xiaoloong's words made her even more confused. She squatted down and gently caressed his body. He touched one of the Nine Deadly Soul-Returning Grass, and a moment later, he moved his hand to the other one, all the way until the last one was the Grass King.
Yang Jingjing didn't pay attention to it at first, but after repeating this action three or four times, she was shocked to find that the Nine Deaths Spirit Grass leaves were brighter than before, and their vitality seemed to be more exuberant.
If it was just by looking at it this way, it might have been her misconception. But the contrast between the ones that she had touched Zhang Xiaoloong and those that she had not touched, immediately showed the difference between the two.
At the time, she didn't realize how big of a difference there was between these stalks of Nine-Deadly Soul Grass, so Zhang Xiaoloong's reason must be correct.
Her curiosity had already reached its peak, but at the same time, she also knew that if that was really the case, then this must be Zhang Xiaoloong's greatest secret. Since the other party was willing to display it in front of her, it was already trusting of her.
Zhang Xiaoloong was naturally using the Shennong Tripod's godly powers. Just like Yang Jingjing had thought, towards the Nine Deathly Soul Grass, he should be the one who wants it the most.
The Spirit Returning Grass King once again shook its branches. Even Yang Jingjing could feel that it was expressing its gratitude to Zhang Xiaoloong.
She shifted her gaze to Zhang Xiaoloong, but suddenly found that his expression wasn't good. Before he could say anything, his body tilted and he fell to the ground.
”Xiaoloong,” Yang Jingjing ignored her wound and hurriedly tried to help him up, ”Don't scare me!”
At the top of the mountains, there were some herbs that seemed to have become essence. When Zhang Xiaoloong fell down, she suddenly felt very scared.
Fortunately, after trying to breathe, he realized that there was nothing else for him to do. It was more like a person who had overworked himself and fell asleep.
