When Ji Yuan had returned from his 'scouting' several hours later, the Goddess Ai Tina and Xu Yifei were still in each other's embrace; they were still talking quietly and their countenances were still wet.
It was obvious to him that they were still being emotional.
He did not exactly go too far away as this dense iron forests were too dangerous with many weird spirit plants and the lurking presence of profound beasts.
Ji Yuan knows it better than picking any spirit plants here even though they may be valuable; it is because there is a symbolic relationship between the spirit plants and profound beasts here. Trying to approach or even plucking a spirit plant in this place will sure to provoke reactions from all the profound beasts in this vicinity.
And he was not too greedy and also unprepared to fight the dangers that he had purposely caused due to his own greed.
