Chapter 39 (1/2)
Lin Naoi was sharp and concise Her voice was flat and insipid, and her tone was distant
Chu Feng placidly answered, inviting her over for dinner
Lin Naoi paused for a split second before replying with a si up her call without further conversation
Chu Feng was taken aback by the abruptness He still wanted to address a few things on the phone, but regrettably, the call had ended before he could say a word
He wanted to bring up the woet all his answers from Lin Naoi, and he also wanted to talk to her about the recentaround him lately However, the call just ended before he could address any of these He did not call back either
If they were to ht as well leave all his queries then
”What the…”
Chu Feng saw the line of words Yellow Ox had jotted down He was taken aback
”Rare soil Mingled with secret blood”
The sentence was short and concise, but it pro to raise many questions ”Isn't it just a chunk of ht ”Where does this 'rare soil' come from?”
And blood? Blood of what creature?
Chu Feng was baffled Curiosity compelled him to question Yellow Ox closely
Yellow Ox explained that the fraginally soils mixed with blood, but the essence of the sacred blood died off in the end, leaving the soil to condense to a ether with the rest of the stone box
”So the blood belonged to a sacred creature?” Chu Feng tried to make a detailed inquiry to make sense of these all
Yellow Ox told hied to a mystical and elusive creature full of power and skills However, no-one could have guessed hoerful or how skilful the creature actually was
Having learnt this, Chu Feng picked up a nib of the shattered stones, pulverizing the style He then tasted the fine particles with his own mouth
”Puff!”
Chu Feng spat out that pinch of poithout a second of hesitation He tasted no blood, for all there as an insufferable taste of bitterness that was overpowering enough to instantly nuue
However, Yellow Ox see's struggle with the bitter taste at all It fixated on the stone box that was held in its front hooves, reluctant to divert its attention away from it
”Wake up!” Chu Feng waved his hands in front of Yellow Ox
The calf was finally able to collect itself It clouted and hammered the stone box with its front hooves, as if it were looking for certain things In its eyes, the box contained so far beyond its ordinary appearance
All in all, the box had once contained the blood of a sacred creature This itself could
Boom!
At last, Yellow Ox put to use of its De Style and drew its powerful hooves onto the stone box with an explosive force The box was sent to the air before it penetrated through the yard wall, leaving a gaping hole on the concrete wall
”What on earth are you doing?!” Chu Feng flamed in fury
With a passive sort of suilty conscience, the calf followed Chu Feng out of the yard to check on the stone box
The box came out safe and sound Not even a scratch and dent had been inflicted on it
Yelloas not satisfied With a cheeky grin on its face, the calf thumped and pounded its front hooves on the stone box with a fierce force The calf see the stone box
However, the continual pounding see to the box itself
Yellow Ox bared its bovine teeth in agony The beating on the box seee to the formidable ox than to the box This was also the first ti from a miserable loss
”You deserve it!” Chu Feng mocked
Yellow Ox refused to accept its lost as final The calf asserted that the box ed with some sorts of hidden mechanism All in all, it had once been in the possession of a sacred creature, so perhaps there were secrets left with it
Chu Feng'sat one corner He wanted to tell him that the secrets were the seeds, but he held it back Chu Feng did not want this calf to seize his beloved seeds as its own possession as a result
But clearly, he had underestimated Yellow Ox
Having failed to discover anything noteworthy from the box, the calf suddenly came to the realization of the very existence of those three seeds
Then, at the blink of an eye, Yellow Ox disappeared in sight and ran into the yard where the parterre was located
”Oh crap!” Chu Feng lost no time and chased after the calf
As expected, the extraordinary intelligence of this calf granted it the ability to link the box to the seeds Chu Feng had discovered It was guarding the parterre while carefully scrutinizing every detail of it by the ti had reached the yard The look on its face showed how eager he wanted to get rid of all the pesky weeds that had been sha seeds
”Stop! Don't mess with my parterre I kept the weeds there to cover up the secrets so that seeds, once they sprout, won't stand out,” Chu Feng exclaimed
Yellow Ox nodded its head as a fored on its face It pointed at hi him to stand away from the parterre so that the seeds would not be somehow spoiled by accident
Chu Feng was rendered utterly speechless by the calf's set of demeanors
