Lilly's eyes widened with shock and awe as she beheld the precious Elixir Fruits in Nitish's hands. She could hardly believe her eyes, realizing the significance and rarity of these fruits in the world they inhabited. The weight of their value pressed upon her, and she turned to Nitish with a mix of curiosity and disbelief.
"Nitish, how did you come across these extraordinary fruits?" Lilly asked, her voice filled with wonder. "And how many of them did you consume?"
Nitish's gaze softened as he regarded Lilly, understanding the whirlwind of emotions that must be coursing through her. He took a deep breath, preparing to share the tale of his encounter with the Elixir Fruits.
"Lilly, my dear, during my explorations of the Azure Continent, I stumbled upon a hidden grove deep within the heart of the forest," Nitish began, his voice tinged with excitement. "There, I discovered an uprooted tree, shrouded in mystery and protected by enchantments. It bore these Elixir Fruits, a treasure sought by all the races of this land."
Lilly listened intently, her eyes locked on Nitish's face. The significance of his discovery was not lost on her, and she marveled at the lengths he had gone to in order to bring such wonders into their lives.
Lilly explained that these are elixir fruits which grows from elixir tree which bears fruits once in 10 years and it can increase your life by 1 year and also cures all diseases and if you eat a certain number of fruits it can make you immune to all diseases and poisons and asked him how many fruits he had eaten.
"As for the number I have consumed," Nitish continued, a sheepish grin playing on his lips, "I must confess, it's been around a thousand fruits."
Lilly's eyes widened in disbelief, her jaw dropping open. She couldn't fathom the enormity of Nitish's actions, the sheer number of Elixir Fruits he had consumed. The implications of such an act left her speechless, her mind struggling to comprehend the possibilities.
Her shock overwhelmed her, and she found herself succumbing to a wave of dizziness, her vision swimming before her eyes. Sensing her distress, Nitish reacted swiftly, giving her a gentle slap on the cheek to bring her back to consciousness.
Lilly's eyes fluttered open, her cheeks flushed from the unexpected touch. As her senses returned, she realized she was still in Nitish's embrace, his concerned gaze fixed upon her.
"W-What happened?" Lilly stammered, her voice filled with confusion and embarrassment.
"You fainted, my dear," Nitish replied with a hint of amusement. "The shock of my fruit consumption seemed to overwhelm you. But fear not, you are safe, and I am here with you."
Lilly blushed at the memory of her fainting spell, feeling a mix of mortification and gratitude for Nitish's quick thinking. She glanced around the cave, her eyes landing on a cluster of saplings that had sprouted from the cave floor.
"What are these saplings, Nitish?" Lilly inquired, her curiosity piqued. "I don't recall seeing them before."
Nitish's eyes sparkled with pride as he explained, "These saplings are the result of my endeavors to bring the knowledge of Earth's cultivation into the Azure Continent. Using the principles I learned on Earth, I managed to plant and nurture these saplings, coaxing them to grow within the sanctuary of this cave."
Lilly's astonishment grew, and she reached out to touch one of the saplings gently. She marveled at the resilience and adaptability of life, even in the depths of this mystical realm. The connection between their worlds, forged through Nitish's actions, filled her with a sense of wonder and appreciation.
As their fingers brushed against the delicate leaves of the sapling, a renewed sense of purpose welled within Lilly. She realized that just as Nitish had brought a piece of Earth's knowledge to the Azure Continent, she too had the potential to contribute in her own unique way.
"Nitish," Lilly began, her voice filled with determination, "I want to learn. I want to understand the ways of this world and find my own strengths. I want to stand beside you as an equal, capable of facing any challenge that comes our way."
Nitish's eyes filled with pride and admiration as he listened to Lilly's words. He saw in her the resilience and courage needed to become a formidable force in their shared adventures. He knew that together, they would grow stronger, learning from each other and discovering the depths of their potential.
"Lilly, my love," Nitish responded, his voice brimming with affection, "I will be by your side every step of the way. Together, we will explore this world, hone our skills, and overcome any obstacle that dares to stand in our path. Your strength lies within, waiting to be unleashed."
Lilly's heart swelled with gratitude and determination as she gazed into Nitish's eyes. They shared a silent vow, a promise to support and uplift one another, as they embarked on a journey of growth and discovery.
With renewed purpose, Nitish and Lilly embraced the possibilities that lay ahead. They nurtured the saplings together, tending to their needs and watching as they grew stronger with each passing day. The cave became a sanctuary not only for their love but also for the seeds of a future where their bond and their shared knowledge would shape the world around them.
Hand in hand, they stood at the threshold of endless possibilities, ready to face the wonders and challenges that awaited them. Their love, fortified by their shared experiences and the power of the Elixir Fruits, would be the guiding light on their extraordinary journey through the Azure Continent.
