“What are you staring blankly at?”
Feng Jiu glanced at it. She had already taken out pen and paper to take notes. There weren’t many fruits so each one was extremely precious. She would take notes from Old White’s account first and then observe how Old White reacted after eating the fruit.
Old White shook its head: “I’ve forgotten.” At that point, it only had one thought: to finish eating the fruit quickly and not let Master catch it in the act. Where would it have the time to taste the fruit slowly?
When she heard this, deep creases appeared across Feng Jiu’s forehead and she stared at it speechlessly. In the end, she shook h er head helplessly: “Forget it. It’s pointless asking you. I might as well try to figure it out by myself.”
She walked under the tree and looked at the four remaining fruits hanging between the leaves. The green leaves and the red fruits were a dazzling sight and so beautiful, so much so that she was almost reluctant to pluck a fruit off the tree.
Even though the fruit was ripe, the fruit wouldn’t fall off the branches. This was the benefit of the air in this spiritual space. The fruit would remain fresh if it wasn’t plucked from the branch. She should probably not pluck the fruit and first see how Old White reacts to eating the spirit fruit.
Therefore, she left some instructions: “There are four spirit fruits left. Listen carefully, without my permission, no one is allowed to eat the fruit or they will be severely punished.”
Fire Phoenix and the others were fine as they weren’t that interested in spirit fruits. Hence, they nodded in response. After it had stolen one to eat, Old White didn’t dare to steal any more fruit and so it nodded obediently.
“Old White, come over and let me examine you.” Feng Jiu went over to the spirit fountain and motioned Old White to come forward.
Upon seeing this, Old White stepped forward eagerly in an attempt to please its Master: “Master, I don’t dare to steal food again next time. Really, I promise.”
Feng Jiu glanced at him: “Your assurance is not credible.”
When it heard this, Old White looked down. Fire Phoenix and the others behind him couldn’t help but chuckled when they saw this.
It would be strange if Old White’s assurance was credible.
“Strange, why don’t you seem to feel anything?” Feng Jiu examined Old White but found that there was no problem with its body. She couldn’t help but wondered: Could it be that it was just a spirit fruit that supplemented spiritual power?
If it was an ordinary spirit fruit, why did the nest of snakes guard the tree back then, and if not, then why was Old White not responding to it?
“Master, why don’t you eat the fruit too! You will know its effects after eating the fruit too!”
Old White suggested and continued speaking: “However, I found that this fruit was more crisp than other fruits, it was also sweeter and more fragrant than other fruits. The shape of the fruit was also nicer, and then it was gone.”
“Forget it, we will go out first!” She said. She had planned to go out first, and as for the effects of the spirit fruit, they would find out eventually.
“Alright!” Old White wagged its tail as it prepared to go out with her and then go to the wine cellar to steal some a couple of glasses of wine to drink. However, after taking two steps, it felt something was wrong with its whole body.
“Hum!”
It snorted and fell down sharply. Its whole body twitched and frightened Little Black and Cloud Devouring who were beside it.
When she heard the commotion behind her, Feng Jiu turned around and was shocked at what she saw. She stepped forward quickly: “Old White? What’s wrong with you?”
Old White’s body was twitching. It looked at Feng Jiu and said: “Master, I, I might be dying…”
Feng Jiu’s heart sank: “No, don’t worry. Even if you’ve been poisoned, I will save you.”
“Master, I’m dying. My whole body is so uncomfortable, I’m in agony… It feels as if I’m being torn apart, ah…”
It spoke as its body twitched and it broke out in cold sweat. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out directly from its body and blasted Feng Jiu away.
