Chapter 89 Revenge
After leaving Qingyao Mountain, Jiang Lisheng never picked Xun grass again.
She pouted and said, "Brother Wei, what does the fruit of the Xun grass taste like? I haven't tasted it yet. I have walked all the way through this huge mountain, but how come there are only a few plants growing here? This broken mountain is really poor."
Wei Qinglan turned around and handed her one, "Since you want to try it so much, I'll give it to you."
"Huh? Where did you get it? Didn't you eat everything I gave you?" Jiang Lisheng was puzzled. He clearly saw him eating it with his own eyes. Did he use some tricks to deceive himself?
Wei Qinglan explained, "When I was fighting with those things on the bank of the Jinshui River, I found one and picked it up."
Jiang Lisheng: "..."
The situation was so dangerous at that time, everyone was fighting with swords and blood, but he still had the mood to pick Xuncao fruit? She reached out to take it. Although she was speechless about his not fighting the enemy properly at that time, she was still very happy in her heart. She opened her mouth and took a bite. In an instant, her tongue was stiff because of the bitterness. Her whole face wrinkled into a ball, and she opened her mouth to spit it out.
Wei Qinglan reminded her in time, "Don't waste it."
Jiang Lisheng: "..."
She looked at Wei Qinglan with a stiff face.
Wei Qinglan said seriously, "Don't you want to be beautiful? There is always a price to pay for beauty. This may be the last one on this mountain."
Jiang Lisheng was speechless. Her mouth was full of bitterness and astringency. The taste was so strong that she wanted to faint.
Wei Qinglan stared at her while she ate. "Eat it. You can eat such a small fruit."
Jiang Lisheng was about to cry, her tongue couldn't move, she wondered how he had eaten it without changing his expression earlier. She thought that the rhizome of the grass was bad enough, but she didn't expect the fruit to be even worse. Come to think of it, if the rhizome was so bad, how delicious could the fruit be? She was really stupid.
"Junior Sister Jiang, if you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me." Zhu Wenyin stared at the fruit in her hand that she had taken a bite of. She was seriously injured and knew that eating this could heal her injuries, but she had been chased by monsters since she stepped into Fanggao Mountain. She had no energy or time to look for any Xuncao fruit.
Jiang Lisheng immediately stuffed the fruit in his hand into her hand, and was very touched. "Thank you, Senior Sister Zhu, you are such a good person."
She thinks that her face is pretty good already and she doesn't need to become more beautiful or anything like that, so she'd rather not suffer this pain.
Zhu Wenyin didn't need her to thank him, but instead she should thank her. For a cultivator, as long as it was good for healing and beneficial for cultivation, what kind of suffering could not be endured? That was her, who didn't know how she grew up, and couldn't bear any suffering at all.
Wei Qinglan had no objection. She just stared at Jiang Lisheng, trying not to let her spit out the fruit in her mouth.
Under his gaze, Jiang Lisheng gritted his teeth and swallowed the fruit with a stiff tongue. He almost rolled his eyes from choking and kicked Shan Gao with his feet, "Quick, water, bring me some water."
Shan Gao looked around and said, "There's no water. I can't just turn back and go to the Jinshui River to get you some water, can I? Can you bear with it?"
"Tree, dig a hole under the tree roots and there will be water." Jiang Lisheng urged with a stiff tongue, "Hurry up, I need to drink water."
Shan Gao had no choice but to run to a big tree and dig a hole for her with his claws. He was very strong and soon he dug a big deep hole. Sure enough, after a while, water slowly gathered in the deep hole. He was amazed, "There is really water."
Jiang Lisheng ran over, scooped up some water, and rinsed her mouth vigorously. The clear spring water tasted sweet, and finally made Jiang Lisheng feel better. After she finished her struggle, she turned around and pointed at Wei Qinglan, looking angry, "Brother Wei, you are so petty that you can't even take revenge overnight."
Wei Qinglan chuckled, "It was you who said not to waste it."
“That’s delicious food.”
"The Xuncao fruit is even better. It's much more valuable than the half fish I threw away." Wei Qinglan said slowly, smiling, "You have to lead by example before you can convince others."
Jiang Lisheng was speechless, his hands were shaking, "You are so mean."
"I ate several of them. I didn't want to give them to you, but you always wanted to try them. If I didn't let you try them, wouldn't you always be thinking about them?" Wei Qinglan raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Lisheng was in the wrong, as she was indeed the one who had been thinking about it, so he withdrew his fingers and shut up.
Shan Gao felt sympathetic, "Luckily I swallowed it in one gulp. I didn't taste anything. It's too disgusting, and I don't want to taste it." After saying this, it looked at Zhu Wenyin with its big eyes, who was chewing the fruit without changing her expression and even swallowing the core. It was very impressed, "You woman, you are really not a human being."
Being called a beast and not a human being, Zhu Wenyin didn't want to say anything, after all, she couldn't scold it better.
"Let's go. The next mountain is Xishan. There are jujube trees there. It is said that the jujubes grown there are delicious." Wei Qinglan looked at Jiang Lisheng.
Jiang Lisheng immediately stood up and followed him, muttering, "Although ancient books record that there are dates in Mount Xi, which are delicious and fresh, it is said that there is also a kind of flying fish in Mount Xi that can fly out of the water and fly around the mountain, occupying the entire Mount Xi. It looks like a pig with red stripes. This thing should be difficult to deal with. I'm afraid it's more powerful than Wenwen."
“But if you take it, you won’t be afraid of thunder, and you can also defend against soldiers.” Wei Qinglan said, “In the future, when you refine pills and weapons, it can help you with thunder tribulations. It is a rare and high-quality material.”
Jiang Lisheng whispered, "My master blocked the lightning tribulation during my foundation building. Others experienced nine lightning tribulations, but I was struck by eighteen. Moreover, the lightning tribulations were very powerful, purple-red in color, and almost struck my master to pieces. Later, my master told me that it would be best for me to build my foundation for the rest of my life and not make any more breakthroughs. Otherwise, even if he blocked it for me, I'm afraid that both of us would not be able to withstand the golden elixir's lightning tribulation and would probably be killed by lightning."
Wei Qinglan: “…”
How powerful must the foundation-building thunder tribulation be that could even knock out the leader of the Qingxuyu Sect? Then she really didn't need to ask for the golden elixir.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Jiang Lisheng followed him and walked forward, "But I still want to eat sweet dates. Also, if we want to go to Dayan Mountain to find the exit, we have to continue walking eastward, and we must pass through Dayan Mountain. Hey, a Dayan Mountain and a Dayan Mountain, I wonder what the connection is between these two mountains? The exit is actually in Dayan Mountain, right? Then even if there are flying fish all over the mountain, we have to go, because nothing ventured, nothing gained."
"He doesn't study well, but he has read a lot of books." Wei Qinglan commented.
Jiang Lisheng snorted, "Brother Wei, who are you looking down on? We are both pigs, and maybe Shan Gao is the ancestor of those flying fish."
Shan Gao immediately retorted, "No, our clan has had nothing to do with fish for tens of thousands of years."
"It's over then. Just wait to be torn to pieces by them." Jiang Lisheng had a doomed expression on his face.
Shan Gao also felt that the road ahead was bumpy and he was a little scared.
Wei Qinglan looked at the man and the beast. He was clearly talking about her, but somehow she brought up Shan Gao in one sentence. He held his forehead and thought about what she had just said. Although it didn't make sense, it did make some sense. Could the Xishan with a similar name really have some connection with the Daxishan?
