After Ruan Shu opened the car window wider, he placed a large coconut inside, and then another one, and another. Ruan Shu hurriedly arranged the coconuts in a fluster.
"No more, the car can't fit anyone else," she said.
Forced to squeeze in among the coconuts, Ruan Shu waved her hands frantically.
The coconut tree seemed to understand and stopped producing more coconuts. Instead, it rubbed against her like a small animal.
"Can you stop attacking my brothers?" "Shall I call them back?" Ruan Shu tentatively negotiated with it.
Before she could comprehend whether the coconut tree had acknowledged her, the rain of leaves on the battlefield ceased.
"What's going on?" Ruan Qingran and Yu Sheng both frowned slightly.
Suddenly noticing the situation on Ruan Shu's side, Yu Huan cursed loudly.
"Damn, how did the attack range of this coconut tree increase so much!"
Yu Sheng and Ruan Qingran turned their heads and saw the coconuts from the coconut tree falling into the floating car; their expressions changed dramatically.
Ruan Qingran instantly transformed into his star beast form. With a roar, all the creatures on the private island were startled; birds and beasts flew, and even mutant plants shrank into quails.
At this point, they no longer cared about the coconuts and shot out like arrows.
A powerful spiritual force flew towards the leaves of the coconut tree.
Sensing the danger, the coconut tree instantly retracted its leaves. Despite its efforts, half of its leaves were cut off by the spiritual force, prompting it to quickly flee with the remaining coconuts.
Provoking it was not a good idea.
Ruan Shu still held a few leaves in her hand, looking dazed and confused, not understanding what had happened. The qilin beast rushed to the front of the car.
"Brother… brother?" Ruan Qingran heard his sister's voice and regained his composure. He turned to see his sister sitting in the car, looking fine and unharmed.
He suppressed his overwhelming aura and controlled the scattered spiritual force.
If Ruan Shu hadn't called out in time, the coconut tree would probably have been cut down by now.
"Ruan Shu, are you okay?" Yu Sheng and Yu Huan also rushed over, relieved to see her unharmed.
Ruan Qingran also returned to his human form. The three of them nervously checked on Ruan Shu, confirming that she was unharmed, before noticing other items, such as the leaves in her hand and the large lump of coconut in the car.
"What... is going on?" Yu Huan was dumbfounded. After working hard to pick coconuts, they now had a large pile of coconuts in the car.
There were exactly seven, each the size of a basketball. Fortunately, their car was large enough to fit them all.
What about the leaves in her hand?
Ruan Shu honestly explained what had just happened.
The three of them were puzzled. Was it really the same species they had encountered?
But…
"These were brought by the coconut tree itself?" Yu Sheng asked. "It even knocked on the door politely, didn't directly attack my car, and didn't attack you?"
"It even shamelessly rubbed against you and twisted happily like a braided hair?" Ruan Shu was at a loss.
"I didn't mean it that way, but if you interpret it like that, it seems fine," she said.
Yu Huan was indignant. "Brother!" You didn't tell me that this coconut tree is so unpredictable. Why?
They hadn't even had a chance to pick a coconut, and it had brought back seven large coconuts on its own!
Yu Huan was still puzzled, circling around Ruan Shu, unable to understand.
Yu Sheng warned his brother with a glance. "Don't scare her."
"Alright, alright, I'm just curious." "What should we do with these coconuts we brought back this time?" Yu Huan asked.
The coconuts were large and full of coconut water.
He looked at the obedient white lump. "Ruan Shu, since the coconut tree gave them to you, how do you want to distribute them?"
Ruan Shu looked to her brother for help.
She had never done this kind of thing before.
In her previous life, even though she had lived for more than ten years, her life had always been very simple, almost transparent. She had a weak presence at home and at school. She was so transparent that she felt inferior; with no friends around her, not even her desk mate liked to talk to her.
When it came to selecting class leaders, she had never been one, not even a small group leader.
In her previous world, studying was probably the only thing she had, because the knowledge she acquired was truly hers. Apart from that, she had to rely on her younger siblings even to watch TV, and no one cared about her preferences.
Yu Huan had already knocked on his head. "Don't think too much." Perhaps Ruan Shu is drawing attention.
But he was also puzzled, even more shocked than his brother. But he and Ruan Qingran exchanged a glance and didn't say anything.
Yu Huan grumbled, "But that's not a person!"
"Plants are the same."
While the two brothers argued, Ruan Shu was concerned about her brother.
"Qingran, are you okay?" She had just felt it. Was that Qingran's spiritual power? The force was so strong that it even managed to sever the leaves of the coconut tree from a considerable distance.
Ruan Qingran looked down at the little girl, showing genuine concern. He smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I'm fine." Spiritual power is our weapon. Although there is a risk of contamination every time we use it, it won't cause any trouble with just one or two uses. "Don't worry."
He knew what Ruan Shu was worried about. She was probably still scared from the last time her father frightened her.
After searching for so long, he still hadn't found anything that could stabilize his younger uncle's spiritual power.
The coconut tree's reaction was peculiar, but it seemed typical for plants to have their own preferences, didn't it?
Yu Huan said, "Normal, my ass." I've lived for so long, and the most a mutant plant can do for a person is not to attack them actively. Even the lowest-level mutant plants would react strongly if someone picked things from them.
He had never seen a mutant plant actively give its fruits to someone, let alone heard of it.
Yu Huan rubbed his chin as he observed Ruan Shu, who was growing increasingly uncomfortable and moving closer to her brother.
Ruan Qingran embraced her slender shoulders and leaned against her, making her feel more at ease.
"I don't know either."
Don't ask her; she really doesn't know.
Yu Sheng warned his brother with a look.
"Don't scare her."
"Alright, alright, I'm just curious." "What should we do with these coconuts we brought back this time?" Yu Huan asked.
The coconuts were large and full of coconut water.
He looked at the obedient white lump. "Ruan Shu, since the coconut tree has yielded them, how do you plan to distribute them?"
Ruan Shu looked to her brother for help.
She... she had never done this kind of thing before.
In her previous life, although she had lived for more than ten years, her life had always been very simple, even transparent. She had a weak presence at home and at school. She was so transparent that she felt inferior; with no friends around, not even her desk mate liked to talk to her.
