Chu Ru only ate one of the flowers. After enduring the excruciating pain like having her tendons snapped and bones broken, her entire body was soaked in cold sweat, and water could be wrung out of her clothes.
She took a look inside her body to check her condition.
The shattered spiritual veins had recovered a bit, but the dantian was still in a mess.
The Bone - Spirit Flower can only exert its greatest effect when refined into a medicinal pill. Eating it raw like this, if those alchemy cultivators knew about it, they would surely be so angry that even their coffins would flip!
They would curse loudly: It's like a cow chewing on peonies, a waste of precious things!
Chu Ru didn't care. Anyway, her most precious asset was her soul power, and the physical body wasn't the most crucial. After all, it was just a shell.
The Bone - Spirit Flower nourishes the soul. Once her soul is strengthened, she has ways to improve her physical cultivation!
She didn't plan to waste the remaining half of the flower. After she got out, she would find a alchemy furnace and refine it!
Just as Chu Ru was about to pull up the remaining half of the Bone - Spirit Flower with its roots, a feeling of being spied on came to her mind. There was a living thing hiding in the dark and staring at her.
Or rather... staring at the half - flower in front of her!
Chu Ru calmly stretched out her hand. The moment she touched the Bone - Spirit Flower, a thing in the dark shot towards the Bone - Spirit Flower.
Chu Ru's hand movement suddenly changed. With a snarl of a beast, she grabbed a ball of fur. Looking closely, Chu Ru raised her eyebrows. "A fox?"
Struggling in her palm was a white - furred little fox.
It was more like a ball of fur than a fox, especially its tail!
It was just like a big cudgel!
Together, it was like a dandelion with a fur cudgel!
The round silver eyes showed caution and fear, and the pink nose added a touch of cute simplicity.
Because there was so much and thick fur, it was impossible to see its legs clearly...
Chu Ru let out a hiss.
This fur... this tail...
She swallowed.
It must feel great to stroke!
As she thought this, she didn't hold back and started stroking it.
In an instant, she felt completely at peace.
She had no resistance to fur - balls.
A thousand years ago, when Chu Ru was still Chu Yihou, she often wandered in the demon territory and stroked all kinds of demon tails, but she had never seen a tail more beautiful than the one in front of her...
The little white fox was being stroked by her as if its life was in doubt, and it was making "squeak - squeak" noises.
"Why is there a living thing in the forbidden area?"
Chu Ru's smile looked a bit strange. She had been awake in the forbidden area for some time. If there were any living things in this abyss, she wouldn't have missed them with her perception.
Not to mention that her dear family members had set up a barrier here to suppress her. Unless one had a pass token, any living thing that came down would be killed.
The origin of this fox was quite interesting.
Chu Ru concentrated her mind to investigate and confirmed that the fox under her palm was indeed an ordinary fox, not a demon. This made it even more suspicious!
However, it seemed that the fox's internal organs were injured.
"Do you want this flower?" She asked with her eyes lowered, not caring whether the fox could understand her or not.
The little fox stared at her, and its big eyes were filled with great fear.
This sister is so scary!
So perverted!
She's stroking its tail!
In the dark, the woman grinned. "The fur feels quite smooth. It should make a nice scarf."
Her voice was clearly smiling, yet there was a bone - deep coldness.
The fur on the fox suddenly bristled.
"Oh, so you can understand human language."
The woman's voice became playful again.
The woman's cold, slender finger tapped on its nose, and a petal was placed beside its mouth. The little white fox seemed confused.
Chu Ru said indifferently, "One petal is enough. You'll explode if you eat the whole flower."
The little white fox bit the petal and swallowed it whole. A shrewd glint flashed in its big eyes, and its small claws scratched at Chu Ru's hand, trying to take the opportunity to escape!
Before its small claws could reach.
The hand that was pinching its vital point suddenly exerted force.
"Squeak!" The little white fox was directly pinched unconscious in shock and anger.
"You ungrateful little thing. I gave you something to eat, and you still want to scratch me?"
Chu Ru grabbed the fox's tail and lifted it up, shaking the dust off its fur. This cudgel - like tail was really beautiful.
Even two thousand years ago, she had never touched such a beautiful tail!
"It's a pity it's inconvenient to take you with me..."
Chu Ru thought to herself. The origin of this little fox was rather special, and she actually wanted to keep it with her. However, she was sure to cause a commotion when she went up.
Anyway, the little fox had eaten the Bone - Spirit Flower petal and wouldn't wake up for a short time.
Chu Ru put the little fox back on the ground.
"You're cumbersome to carry. I'll come back for you after I get my revenge, little cutie."
She picked the remaining half of the Bone - Spirit Flower and stretched her limbs.
"It's time to leave this damned place!"
...
Not long after she left.
A figure appeared in the forbidden area.
The white clothes were spotless. His eyes were as deep as a ghostly abyss. He was of unattainable holiness, yet he had a gorgeous and rich face, as if he had gathered all the colors in the world. But there was no ripple in his eyes.
He was like the cold snow in a desolate land, unable to give birth to the slightest spark.
The only hint of worldly desire was a small red mole on his earlobe, which added a bit of charm to him for no reason.
The man looked at the place where the Bone - Spirit Flower had originally grown. It was already empty.
A little white fox was lying beside it.
The man looked down at the little white fox. When his gaze fell on its tail, which had been stroked into a fluffy mess, his eyes froze for a moment.
"Wake up."
The cold and deep voice contained spiritual power. This was the art of speech - spirit.
The little white fox's body trembled and it woke up instantly. When it saw the man, its eyes immediately became pitiful. The next moment, it directly transformed into a soft and chubby porcelain - like doll, with a cudgel - like big tail dragging behind its buttocks.
"Wow, Daddy~ Baby has been bullied~"
"Baby is not clean anymore~ Baby is so dirty~"
The little doll wailed in a babyish voice, holding onto the man's thigh and not letting go.
The cudgel - like big tail pounded the ground wildly, kicking up clouds of dust. It cried with snot and tears, as if it had lost its chastity.
Although he looked like a three - year - old human baby.
"Be quiet." The man's voice was emotionless, like it was mixed with frost and snow.
The little baby instantly fell silent.
Its mouth was wide open, seemingly howling, but it couldn't make a sound.
Seeing that snot was about to fall, it grabbed the man's hanging robe sleeve and was about to wipe its snot.
A well - defined finger pointed at the center of its forehead.
This stopped the little baby's unseemly action.
The little baby sniffed hard and sucked the snot back.
Its big, wet eyes looked at the other person pitifully, and its tail wagged behind it like a broom.
But the other person was too cold - hearted and wasn't moved by the baby's cuteness at all.
After the little baby's emotions stabilized, the man withdrew the art of speech - spirit and gave his voice back to him.
The little baby sobbed, "Daddy, I was really bullied. There was a perverted bad sister who stroked my tail. She even made the fur on my tail split!"
"My head can be cut off, but my tail can't be stroked. Wuwu, I've lost my dignity~"
The man showed no expression on his face and looked down at him. "You left the Demon - Suppressing Division without permission and came to this forbidden place. I haven't punished you yet."
The baby sniffled and pouted, "I wanted to see if I could get in. But this forbidden place isn't that powerful. I got in easily!"
The little baby wouldn't say that he had almost died.
The man glanced at him.
With just one look, the little baby shrank his neck and said obediently, "I was backlashed by the forbidden area's barrier. I almost died. The perverted sister saved me, and she even fed me a flower petal."
The little baby looked flustered, but he couldn't control his mouth. After saying that, he immediately covered his mouth. His expression became bitter again, and he said coquettishly, "Daddy is so bad. He actually used the truth - telling technique to control me!"
The man ignored him and looked into the distance thoughtfully.
The black fog in the forbidden area was thick and there was no sunlight, but it didn't seem to affect his vision at all.
There was blood soaked in the dark brown soil.
Chu Ru's blood...
"Did she take the Bone - Spirit Flower?"
