Chapter 177.1: Fruit of the Sacred Tree (1/2)

Mu Ye didn’t speak and simply pointed at the wooden ladder, indicating for her to climb up and see for herself.

The ladder looked pretty sturdy so she started climbing it. When she was halfway up, Mu Ye couldn’t stop himself from reminding her, “Use qinggong.”

She always ended up forgetting that she knew qinggong.

When she gradually got near the end of the ladder, she leaped up and landed on a branch nearby.

“Wah, does this still count as a tree? It’s way too magical!”

Tang Doudou stood on the enormous tree branch. The beautiful scene above her was completely different from what was below her. Rainbow-colored leaves glowed with faint radiance like the immortal trees of the legends.

There were all sorts of fruits hanging in between those leaves. Their colors were all very bright and as far as the eye could see, no two were identical.

“How magical!” She couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.

Mu Ye nodded. “Nan Maner said that these fruits were really good, so I picked some.”

Could he not bring up this subject?

Her tongue was still slightly numb right now!

“Ahem, really? Have you eaten any?”

“I haven’t.” He was worried that she would be really hungry when she woke up so he immediately went down to give them to her as soon as he picked some.

Tang Doudou was speechless. Suddenly, she saw a rainbow-colored leaf drop onto Mu Ye’s shoulder. She reached over and picked it up. “How could rainbow-colored leaves exist? It really doesn’t follow common sense!”

“Perhaps it’s related to the soil,” said Mu Ye.

“The soil?” Tang Doudou was a good child of the new age and knew that the things required for plants to grow were not simply soil and sunlight.

However, she didn’t investigate deeply into this question because the question of how this tree became like this really didn’t have much to do with her. She wasn’t an explorer so she wasn’t that interested in the reason why. Hence, she just gazed at it for a while. Once she looked enough, she said goodbye to Mu Ye and returned to her room to wait for Nan Maner to bring her food.

Mu Ye watched until her head disappeared from view. Nan Maner had mentioned that the medicinal bath was made from these fruits, so he thought they would help her recover. Why did her facial color turn so bad when he brought them up?

Could it be because the fruits didn’t taste good?

He pulled off a nearby fruit. After a moment of thought, he bit down. His cold expression instantly crumbled as a red flush crawled up his neck.

He finally understood why Tang Doudou would make such an expression when looking at the fruits.

Unexpectedly, they’ve already been stuck on this crappy tree for three months.

Filtered sunlight shone through the dense leaves. Tang Doudou was bored stiff as she lay on the tree, counting the days. She then gave a long sigh.

Mu Ye was sitting not far from her, his expression the same as always.

“Hehe, the Alliance Head and the Leader of the Demonic Sect disappeared at the same time for so long. The Jianghu has probably turned into porridge from the disorder by now, right?” Tang Doudou smacked her lips, before suddenly speaking, as she looked towards the expressionless Mu Ye.

Mu Ye nodded. “They’ll think that I took you.”

“Then search the entire country for our tracks.”

“In the end, they wouldn’t find anything.”

“They’ll definitely think that we took each other down! Haha!” Tang Doudou started laughing. After interacting with Mu Ye for these past months, she discovered that this iceberg was actually only cold on the surface. At times, he was actually quite fun.

But it was seriously thanks to her careful guidance!
