At noon, Xiao Chen was overjoyed to discover that the luminescence emitted from the Little Holy Tree under the ship's side grew more and more intense. The small rainbow tree was engulfed by golden light. When he pulled it back onto the ship, he noticed that it had sprouted its fourth leaf, or to be more appropriate, a bud. The infant form of the golden leaves had already erupted.
These genuinely fulfilling joy and satisfaction was born from watching the Little Holy Tree grow in front of his very own eyes.
The palm-sized tree hadn't grown taller. Its trunk was rugged and strong, almost draconic. Some traces of vicissitude seemed to have added to its appearance. The order of leaves from bottom to top were, Black Jade, White Jade, Green Jade, and a Gold Bud. Obviously, the Golden Jade Leaf could potentially grow out in the Forbidden Sea.
Of course, the happiest one of all was the snow-white, Little Beast.
