Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 130: Demon Plants Forest 9
Chapter 130: Demon Plants Forest 9
After recuperating for one month in the space, Shen Xu returned to normal.
At this time, he looked at Zhen Yuan and suddenly chuckled.
"What’s the matter?" Zhen Yuan asked.
"You and I are in the same realm." The double happily exclaimed.
Hearing this, Zhen Yuan smiled and rubbed his wife’s hair.
"My wife is the most talented."
"Do you know you married a treasure?"
"I know. I thank the heavens every day." Zhen Yuan said with a solemn expression.
"Good." Shen Xu smiled and pulled Zhen Yuan out of the Chaos Flame Space.
"I miss the outside world." He said.
"We still have nine months to explore the secret realm." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.
Now that Shen Xu had advanced, the two were not in a hurry to get anywhere.
They only wanted to leisurely walk around until it was time for the secret realm to close.
"Brother Yuan, what about the other law pillars?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.
"One has disappeared." Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu nodded.
"Xiao Weimin probably found the wood spirit." The double said.
"It’s likely."
"Shall we slowly head towards the last treasure?"
"Mmh." Zhen Yuan immediately agreed.
"Which direction?"
"Still South."
After that, the two headed south.
Along the way, they killed demonic plants and collected spirit grasses and spiritual fruits.
Two months passed in this way.
On this day, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu were walking along a spring when they saw three female cultivators.
The female cultivators were unfamiliar but they wore the emerald green robes of the Dry Mist empire’s royal family.
Seeing the three, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.
"It seems other cultivators have begun to enter the inner forest." He said.
"They..." Zhen Yuan started but stopped mid-sentence.
"Why did they escape in such a hurry?" He wondered, and Shen Xu chuckled in amusement.
"How can they not escape?" Shen Xu said and soon continued.
"The most powerful among the three is a late-stage foundation establishment realm cultivator. Contrary, your revealed cultivation is the peak stage of the foundation establishment realm while I am at the early stage of the golden core realm. Although they can’t see my cultivation, they can easily guess since my aura is still unstable. They probably think we will do something to them."
"They are thinking too much."
"Yes, in this case. However, it’s not uncommon for male cultivators to molest female cultivators."
After meeting the first group, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan continued to meet more.
Unfortunately, they didn’t meet Lin Xiang.
"I wonder if she is doing okay." Shen Xu muttered with a worried expression.
"We gave her many self-defence items. She should be fine." Zhen Yuan said.
"I hope so."
One month later, the two were walking through a forest when they heard a loud buzzing.
"Are those bees? How can there be bees in the demon plants forest?" Shen Xu asked in an incredulous voice.
"Do you want to take a look?" Zhen Yuan asked, and Shen Xu immediately nodded.
Soon after, the two found a colony of more than fifty thousand bees.
"Ordinary honey bees." Shen Xu was a little disappointed.
However, he soon regained his enthusiasm.
"Brother Yuan, we should be able to get some honey and royal jelly if we follow them back to their hive. Do you want to go?"
"Okay." Zhen Yuan agreed but had a thoughtful expression.
"What’s the matter?"
"Should we take a few bees into the space?" He asked.
"Good idea." Shen Xu nodded and soon continued.
"Our spirit grasses and spiritual fruits will grow better if we have bees. We will also have a steady supply of spiritual honey."
After deciding, the two secretly followed the honey bees.
However, the bees did not return to their hive.
Instead, they flew to a flower valley.
"Our luck is not bad." Shen Xu happily exclaimed.
"Although honey bees are not very aggressive, we should try to stay away from them when harvesting the spiritual flowers and spirit grasses." Zhen Yuan reminded.
"I know." The double nodded.
With that, the two people walked into the Flower Valley.
At a glance, the flower valley had millions of flowers and spirit grasses.
However, most were duplicates.
Knowing this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t take everything.
Instead, they transplanted a few stalks from each type before moving to the next.
Seven days passed in this way.
During the seven days, the two transplanted more than two hundred types of flowers, herbs, and weeds.
At the same time, they closely observed the honey bees.
When they first saw them, Shen Xu thought they were just ordinary honey bees.
However, after days of watching them, he realised some were not ordinary.
"Brother Yuan, I am not wrong. Look at that one, it has white spots." He said, pointing at a bee.
Unfortunately, when Zhen Yuan looked, the bee had already flown away.
However, he didn’t need to see the bee to confirm what he already knew.
"The current bees are ordinary, but their ancestry is not." He said.
"What do you mean?"
"These bees have a powerful ancestry. Unfortunately, over time, their blood has been diluted so much that we can barely see the traces."
"Traces?" Shen Xu muttered, his eyebrows creased in a frown.
"I have seen white spots, green spots, blue spots..."
"There is a compendium of monsters in the space library. Haven’t you read it?" Zhen Yuan asked, his lips curled in a doting smile.
"I have read it, but..., aren’t they extinct?"
"They are indeed extinct, but some of their descendants still manifest traces."
"Brother Yuan, if these bees can return to their ancestor..." Shen Xu said, his eyes gleaming from excitement.
Seeing the excitement, Zhen Yuan sighed and hugged the person.
"It’s not impossible, but it’s difficult."
"I know, but..." Shen Xu started, but a female voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, we finally found you." The voice said, and the two turned to look.
Seeing the person, Shen Xu sighed, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
