In the end, George just walked away from the last cave and just took a shelter on a tree with large branches, that acts as a canopy.
As the rain won't stop, George decided to make a bonfire and roasted some meat. The meat that he used was a beef, that had been marinated in soy sauce and garlic paste. He also had a few fresh slices of beef that he glazed with just bbq sauce.
He also didn't forget to buy marshmallows on a stick to make some smores. "Mmn.. eating barbeque in a rain is the best!"
The smell of those roasted meat followed the wind to wherever it goes. Fortunately, it was still a daytime, so George wasn't afraid of any ferocious beast, like wolves. As the majority of them was nocturnal.
「Ding! The 10.000 years old ginseng has turned into a plant spirit. I advise host to placed it on the ground.」
George was intrigued by the A.I.'s word. "Why do I have to place it on the ground?"
「Ding! Plant spirits will have their human form, so if you put it on your pocket, your pocket will be torn apart.」
"I see.. A human form, huh?" He wondered what kind of human will the 10.000 years old ginseng will turn into.
As he put the ginseng on the ground, it levitated and stayed in the air for some time. The ginseng that was floating in the air secretes some kind of liquid. A little by little, a strange white liquid kept coming out from it.
The liquid then took a shape of a human, but it wasn't really tall. It was probably only 140 cm-ish of height.
IT MIGHT BE A LOLI! OR A F*CKING SHOTA!! or a really short people, a.k.a people with dwarfism.

George looked at the ginger that was enveloped by a strange white liquid turned into a young girl with a pointy ears. Her petite looks, followed by an innocent looking beauty made all people who saw her, want to steal her with a gunny sack!
All people who liked to read manga or watch anime will know about this kind of human.

"OMAIGAWD! SHE IS SO CUTE AND PRECIOUS!!! I should adopt her as my daughter! Hmm.. What should I call her?" To be honest, George even thinks for a moment to make her his wife, but "I would be very weird to make her my wife, as I'm the famous Agent George from the FBI! And she was a f*cking plant!! so let's change it to a daughter instead." He thought.
"Hi! I'm your father!"
The plant spirit that looked like an elf loli looked at George curiously. "Are you my real father? Then are you also a ginseng?"
George didn't know what to say. "Uhh.. no.. I'm not a ginseng! But, I'm your father!"
"That means you are ginseng too!" The elf loli hugged George tightly. "Papa! What is my name?" she asked curiously with gleaming eyes.
George thought for a moment and said. "Your name is Ma XianZan! It sounds similar to your nickname, little ginseng.. what do you think?"
She nodded in agreement. "It's a cute name! Thank you, papa!"
George heart suddenly melted in warmth. Especially when she called him papa. Even though she wasn't a human, he was really happy when she called him that. He even thanked the A.I. for making him stole the 10.000 years old ginseng with a gunny sack from the Quqiu faction and that middle-aged man.
While patting little ginseng, he said "Is my little ginseng is hungry? Do you want something to eat? Papa will make one for you!"
She nodded shyly. And then George was in trouble when he realized something important. "What kind of food does a plant spirit eats? Is it just water and fertilizer, or is it normal foods that we eat?" He thought.
"Uhh.. what food do you want? I'll promise you that I'll make it for ya!" Smiled George. "Ahaha! With this, I'll not lose my face, while knowing what she liked to eat! Is this what they call dance around the truth?"
But, the little ginseng just said "I'll eat everything that Papa cooks for me! I'll not be picky!"
And at this moment, George realized he f*cked up!
"Umm.. what about this smores? do you like it?" He thought that all kids liked sweet things, but it was a normal kid.. not a plant kind.
When the little ginseng ate the smores, her eyes lit up. "What is this thing? It's so yummy! Papa! I want more!!"
George looked at her in disbelief. "Maybe she eats what normal human eats. And like a normal human, the sugar from our food will turn into other energy. A.K.A the law of conservation of energy! Well.. if she likes it, I'll give her more!" He bought all kinds of candy for her and she blissfully ate it.
"Plants won't get diabetes right? I hope so..!" Well.. he was already racking his brain to think about what kind of food she should have. A vegetable? It'd be cannibalism. Meat? that'd be very weird. Just water and sunlight? How could he make her daughter to just eat like that?
The only thing that he could think of is candy, as all organism needs sugar and it was the easiest thing to be changed to another energy.
"Okay! Come here, my child!" He gently carried his little ginseng with both of his arms and went back to Zhenqiu with his flying artifact, the angel ring. Meanwhile, the little ginseng just continued munching on the candies non-stop until they arrived at the shop.
