”That is a copper fruit; they tend to grow in the tangled depths of Thorn Forest. Where did you get this from?” Yu Yan looked surprised.
”I collected them from a vine that was growing in the Jade-Scale River,” Han Sen said.
”You are incredibly fortunate. The seeds must have been carried along the stream somehow, and grew along the banks of that river,” Yu Yan hypothesized.
”Would you accept this in exchange for your wind beast?” Han Sen asked again.
”Yes, that sounds like a fair deal. Had I tamed it, its sale would go for more than one single copper fruit. Alas, I failed, so one will do. It is a fair exchange, I would say. Go on, take what remains of the beast.” Yu Yan accepted the copper fruit and allowed Han Sen to take the beast away.
Han Sen removed the coins that were weighing down the beast. Due to the injuries it had received, it couldn't move or attack with or without them. With Golden Growler carrying the wolf, Han Sen returned home for the day.
Han Sen wanted to see if he could tame the beast. If it had indeed come from Thorn Forest, it had to be knowledgeable about the area. A companion such as that would be invaluable when the time came for him to enter that place.
If Han Sen could tame it successfully, entering Thorn Forest would be a far safer trek. If he failed to tame it, progress would be slow.
Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming returned home before Han Sen. They saw a couple of bowls laid out, filled with meat.
”Looks like San Mu saved it for us. Oh well, I suppose we should eat it.” Chu Ming heated the contents of the bowls up for them to eat.
”Our basic geno points are full, though. 'Tis a waste to eat it; don't you think we should save it for San Mu?” Qu Lanxi said.
”It's just meat. We'll give him other meat, next time we cook.” Chu Ming tucked into the meal as soon as he said this.
The Coin Toad was ugly, but after being skinned and prepared properly, its flesh was soft and succulent. It was better than the average toad or frog.
After downing a mouthful, Chu Ming stopped still and said, ”What the hell?”
”What's wrong with that meat? Is it raw?” Qu Lanxi asked, in confusion.
”This... this... this is ordinary flesh... I just had a bite and lo and behold, my ordinary geno points increased!” Chu Ming was so shocked that he struggled to get his words out.
”No way. Are you certain?” Qu Lanxi could not believe it, and she believed he was pranking her. But when she tried it, she too froze.
”See? This is ordinary flesh! By the sanctuaries, San Mu killed an ordinary creature! How is such a thing possible?” Chu Ming ate more and more of the meal, and his ordinary geno points went up in tandem.
He finished the stew, and just like Han Sen, his point total went up by three.
Qu Lanxi looked confused, struggling to comprehend how Han Sen had managed to kill an ordinary creature.
