Within the secret forest.
Sunlight shone through the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.
A young maiden with leaves still caught in her hair stood up and looked through the jungle to an open space nearby.
“This should be the world in the secret realm. Qing Han, can you feel what is it that is summoning you?”
Next to the young maiden stood a beautiful and fair little lady, her facial features delicate and pretty, just like a porcelain doll. So beautiful that it was hard to forget.
“After entering the secret realm, I could no longer feel anything. Mother, when will we leave this place? I’m a little hungry.” Little Qinghan raised her head, staring at Feng Ruqing with eyes wide open.
Feng Ruqing pondered for a moment, then took out a Grade-5 spirit herb and threw it to Little Qing Han.
She herself took out a few pieces of Divine-Spirit Fruits and gently took a bite. The juice flowed into her mouth, lingering there for a bit.
Compared to other spirit herbs, the Divine-Spirit Fruit, although only a Grade-1 spirit herb, tasted so good that it caused the spirit beast to lose their minds.
“Mother, is this Divine-Spirit Fruit that delicious?” Little Qing Han swallowed the spirit herb that Feng Ruqing gave her at one go, then stared at the Divine-Spirit Fruit in Feng Ruqing’s hand with great longing. Brother Fu Chen said that the Divine-Spirit Fruit’s grade is too low, it’s not suitable for us as food. I have never eaten it, but why do all the spirit beasts love the Divine-Spirit Fruit so much?”
To humans, the Divine-Spirit Fruit could relieve fatigue, but for the spirit beasts, naturally, they would not need this ability.
Therefore, in their eyes, the Divine-Spirit Fruit was just a sweet juicy fruit.
“Would you like to try?” Feng Ruqing raised her hand, plucked a Divine-Spirit Fruit and passed it to Little Qing Han.
Little Qing Han swallowed her saliva, looking troubled.
Brother Fu Chen said that they were of noble status, low-grade spirit herbs were not suitable to be their food.
But…
She really wanted to eat it…
Little Qing Han could not resist the temptation of delicious food. She raised her hand and took the Divine-Spirit Fruit. Her little mouth took a bite and the juice burst out, stimulating her taste buds.
Fragrant and sweet!
Yummy!
“If I had known earlier that the Divine-Spirit Fruit was so tasty, I wouldn’t have eaten grass on an empty stomach with Brother Fu Chen. Brother Fu Chen said the lowest grade spirit herb that is suitable to be our food has to be at least Grade-3!”
“…”
‘You have already starved for more than a thousand years and are still so picky about food?’
She really could not understand what the spirit herb was thinking.
“Creak, creak!”
A sound came out from next to Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing turned her head to the side and saw a huge stout rabbit!
Yes, this rabbit was very stout, so tall that it almost reached her waist.
Little Qing Han’s eyes were sparkling. She swallowed another mouthful of saliva, but still, she drooled.
‘What am I supposed to do, I really want to eat it…
‘How to make barbecued rabbit meat?’
“Creak!”
The huge rabbit tugged at Feng Ruqing’s clothes, ears dropping, both hands in a position of pleading, staring at the Divine-Spirit Fruit in Feng Ruqing’s hands with its big blue eyes.
“You want to eat it?”
Feng Ruqing laughingly looked at the big rabbit. “Too bad this is only a secret realm. I can’t bring you back to my princess’s manor. Never mind, I won’t be calculative with you. This Divine-Spirit Fruit shall be given to you for free.”
With clear eyes, the big rabbit accepted the Divine-Spirit Fruit Feng Ruqing had handed it. However, it did not eat the Divine-Spirit Fruit, but carefully kept it away, then continued to stare at Feng Ruqing.
