Morning Star

The implication was that if she dared to run, he would kill her. After all, there were many young men and women from noble families who were killed by monsters while out training in these wild mountains and ridges.

After hearing this, she paused, thought for a moment and then understood.

She turned back and glared at him angrily, gritting her teeth and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Master Mo. I will look for you nearby. I won't leave you alone."

Finally, she gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, then walked out of the cave, angrily pulling out a large leaf from the side to use as a shelter from the rain.

She remembered that she saw two fruit trees on the way to the cave. She was in a hurry to get to the cave and just took a quick look. Fortunately, the road was not very far, otherwise she would have gotten lost.

After walking for a few minutes, I finally arrived under the two trees.

Looking up, the fruits on the tree look plump and juicy.

The two fruit trees are one tall and one short, and their fruits and leaves are different colors.

The leaves of the taller trees are bigger, and their fruits are red, as red as blood. The leaves of the lower trees are smaller, and their fruits are white, as white as snow.

She didn't know whether the fruits on the two trees were edible, so she just reached out and picked whatever fruits she could.

In just a short while, he picked a lot and put them on the ground.

He looked up at the rainy sky, put the fruit on the hem of his clothes and took it back with him.

Inside the cave, Mo Xinglan was wondering where she could go to pick fruit when it was raining so hard outside. Then the man limped back with the fruit in his clothes and a large leaf.

She came to him, squatted down, and placed the fruit on the leaves spread on the ground.

I asked reluctantly, "Can these fruits be eaten?"

She did pick the fruits, but she still felt a little guilty because it was the first time she had seen such fruits in the wilderness.

He looked at the girl in front of him whose clothes were already soaked, and then looked at the fruit on the leaves.

I didn't bother to pay attention to her reluctance and simply answered with one word: "Yes."

Snow fruit is ripe and edible, and is a top-quality spiritual fruit with high medicinal value, and is generally in short supply.

This blood-red fruit has two forms. When it is red, it is called Zhuguo, which is an immature period. It tastes sour and contains toxins. Eating just one by mistake will cause a person to fall into a coma, and eating too much will cause a person to slowly die in a deep sleep. When the color of Zhuguo turns yellow, it is called Huanglongguo. At this time, the fruit has no toxins and becomes a high-quality spiritual fruit with high medicinal value. It is also in short supply.

The two fruit trees often grow together.

These are all known to the world, and she, who grew up in a cultivation family, couldn't possibly not know them. But she had to ask him.

Chujiu did not doubt Mo Xinglan's answer.

She lowered her head and found the largest, most juicy, snow-white fruit among the fruits. She wiped it on her clothes and handed it to him: "Here, it's for you."

Looking at the fruit in front of me, and then looking at the pile of fruits, I found that this one is the best one among the pile and has the highest medicinal value.

Some wonder why she would give him the best.

"What are you staring at? Take it." Seeing that he didn't respond, she pushed the fruit towards him again.

"I'm not hungry." He turned his face away.

This was the first time someone had treated him like this since his mother passed away, and it made him very uncomfortable.

And this person was Chujiu, whom he hated.

Chujiu refused to give up, so he moved closer and put the fruit directly on his lips.

His lips suddenly felt cold. He lowered his eyes to look at the snow fruit beside his lips, then looked at her in confusion, but he had no intention of eating it.

Chujiu frowned, moved closer to him, and said in a forcing tone: "Take it. If you don't eat this fruit, it will be unfair to me for enduring the pain in my legs and running out to pick the fruit in the heavy rain. Hurry up, don't dawdle."

"..." He didn't want to eat at first, but because of what she said, he felt he would be at a loss if he didn't eat.

Without hesitation, he took the fruit from his lips and took a bite.

Seeing that he finally agreed to eat, Chujiu smiled with satisfaction and took a snow fruit to eat.

As soon as he took a bite, his eyes lit up and he stared at the fruit in his hand as if he had discovered a new world: "This fruit is so delicious! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious fruit."

Then he looked up and asked him, "Do you know what kind of fruit this is?"

He paused for a few seconds, as if to observe whether she was serious or lying. After confirming that she really didn't know, he explained: "Snow fruit, a top-grade spiritual fruit."

"Top-grade spiritual fruit? What's it used for?" Chujiu asked after taking another bite.

Another stupid question, and he didn't even know what it was for. When she asked him this, he always felt like she was playing a trick on him.

"Why aren't you talking?" After waiting for a long time without getting an answer, she looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just eat yours."

Is she really stupid or is she just pretending? But if she is pretending, she looks too good.

Did the core get replaced?

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you so fierce? I really don't know." Chujiu looked at the snow fruit with only one bite left in his hand and pursed his lips.

"..."

Top-quality spiritual fruits can only realize their highest value when they are refined into elixirs. If they are eaten directly like this, their medicinal value will be weakened.

But I'm afraid they are the only two who would eat the top-quality spiritual fruits to fill their stomachs.

"What kind of fruit is the red one? Is it delicious?" After eating the snow fruit, Chujiu picked up a red fruit.

Mo Xinglan glanced at her and said nothing.

She frowned after taking a bite, staring at the red fruit in her hand with a bit of disgust: "Is it really ripe? Why is it so sour?"

But it was still acceptable. After all, she had picked them in the heavy rain, and there weren't many anyway, so she might as well make do with it... just leave it there.

She should not eat it because it tastes sour, it is probably not cooked yet.

She put the red fruit aside and reached out to take another snow fruit to eat. But for some reason, her vision became blurry, and she shook her head and tapped it with her other hand.

"What's going on? This fruit can't be poisonous, right?" She looked at Mo Xinglan in confusion, only to see that there was an ambiguous smile on Mo Xinglan's face.

Seeing that smile, combined with her current feelings, she finally understood why this guy didn't even remind her. She was fooled, damn it!

She supported herself on the ground with one hand and held her forehead with the other, trying to stay awake and not faint. Looking at the harmless face in front of her, she felt scared and angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "You... did it on purpose."

The man smiled innocently, his eyes curved, but his words were full of sarcasm: "Miss Chu, how does the poisonous red fruit taste?"

"You fucking bastard..." She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite the man to death. But her head was getting more and more dizzy, and her body was getting weaker and weaker.

She went out in the rain to pick fruit for him, and even gave him the biggest snow fruit to eat. It would have been fine if he didn't remind her that the red fruit was poisonous and couldn't be eaten, but now he's gloating over her misfortune. Is this guy sick? Absolutely sick.

Mo Xinglan on the other side picked up a snow fruit and waved it at her with an innocent look: "Miss Chu, don't look at me like that. You ate it yourself, I didn't force it on you."

After saying this, he saw that she seemed to be about to faint from anger, and he felt a little sorry: "But Miss Chu is a little smart. She took a bite and didn't eat it. I thought Miss Chu would be stupid enough to eat the whole thing."

"..." Chujiu's mouth twitched. If possible, she really wanted to pick up a shovel and bury him.

Mo Xinglan looked away with a faint smile on his face and continued to eat the snow fruit in his hand.

Chujiu gritted his teeth and stopped arguing with him rationally. He just took a snow fruit and ate it without caring about anything.

Since it is a top-grade spiritual fruit, it should be able to detoxify, right? Isn't that what those novels all say? Even if she is unlucky and this snow fruit cannot detoxify, she can't just starve to death.

As she chewed, she cursed Mo Xinglan's ancestors in her heart.

After eating two snow fruits and resting for a while, she found that her dizziness seemed to subside and her strength had recovered.

To confirm her idea, she stood up and moved around a few times.

Fortunately, she only took one bite. If she had eaten the whole thing, would she have fainted? Judging from Mo Xinglan's temper, he would definitely not care about her.

But from now on she'd better be on guard against Mo Xinglan.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, but it was still raining. She looked at the cave entrance not far away.

A cold wind blew from the cave entrance and she shivered.

After thinking it over again and again, he took a deep breath and exhaled, then turned to look at Mo Xinglan: "How about we go a little further into the cave? The wind at the entrance is weirdly cold."

Everything is for the purpose of going home, otherwise she wouldn't care whether he lives or dies.

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked outside the cave, and then looked at her: "Miss Chu, aren't you afraid of death?"

He had treated her like that before, yet she could still say those words with such kindness.

Chujiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm scared."

Then she sighed again: "But I can't leave you, a wounded person, here in the cold wind."

If she hadn't been planning on going home, she would have really left him here in the cold wind.

"..."

This time Mo Xinglan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Chujiu turned his face away and didn't bother to pay attention, and started to pick up the fruits on the ground.

Although the red fruit is poisonous, she took a lot of effort to pick it, so who knows, it might be useful someday.

After picking up the fruits, he looked at Mo Xinglan.

He was standing there waiting for her, with his left hand supporting the stone wall and his right hand covering his mouth with his wide sleeve.

Chujiu blinked and remembered to wait for her. It seemed that her method of repaying evil with kindness was somewhat effective.
