Among the five paranoid male protagonists, who do you want me to choose?

While thinking, Yu Zhao suddenly felt an itch on the back of his neck. He was busy and had no time to care about anything else, so he scratched it casually, thinking it was caused by the wet hair ends.

However, I didn't expect that the itch would only go away temporarily, and then slowly creep up to my waist again.

This time she couldn't ignore it anymore. She looked down and saw a tiny piece of spiritual plant, the kind that glowed like stars, soaking in the water, and it seemed to be growing out of the cracks in the rocks.

As it got closer, Yu Zhao could see clearly that it was a new light green bud, full of vitality. It slowly climbed in the water, sliding across her skin inch by inch, and finally landed on her right arm and wrapped around it. The small leaf continued to move, and its target seemed to be the amber stone.

The itch on his arm was intermittent. In order to verify his thoughts, Yu Zhao placed the amber stone on his right hand on his left hand.

The glowing spiritual plant seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then continued to grow and climb, from the right arm through the neck and collarbone, slowly climbing up to the tip of the index finger of the left hand.

The spiritual plant fell on Yu Zhao, as if leaving a pattern on her body.

Suddenly discovering this interesting little thing, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I had no clue when studying the amber stone just now, but now I have a little idea. This spiritual plant is also related to the amber stone.

Just as she was thinking about taking the spiritual plant back with her, she grabbed a handful of the tender buds on her fingertips, but she couldn't move them. Instead, she pulled the skin on her fingertips. Yes, this thing was clinging to her tightly like ivy.

The spiritual plant seemed to be deliberately taking revenge on her for bullying it just now. The tender buds moved slightly to wrap around the amber stone, and then slightly tightened its vines, leaving a faint red mark where the vines were.

It was just the kitten scratching its itch. Yu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little thing was quite vindictive, as if it were alive.

Wait, alive...

Yu Zhao lifted the layers of veil and glanced sideways at Leng Quanyi who was still soaking in the water. The girl lay on the edge of the stone with a peaceful smile on her face, her thick black hair floating in the water.

She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her forehead. She was really crazy and overthinking. How could the vines be a person?

What she didn't see was that the girl's body underwater, covered by her black hair, had undergone a different transformation. Her flesh and blood body had transformed into a glowing spiritual plant, which passed through tiny cracks in the rocks and swam silently in the two hot spring pools.

Yu Zhao took a deep breath and exerted some strength with his arms, but these glowing spiritual plants did not move at all. Instead, they gradually shrank as if they were enraged.

At this time, I finally felt the sensation of my skin being squeezed, which was different from the minor itching just now.

"You hurt me, let go." Yu Zhao looked at Mengya and his tone became a little heavier.

The spiritual plant did not move and remained indifferent.

She moved her hand, slowly approaching the Jinghong Sword beside her. Although it was very close, she could not touch the handle.

The tender bud even provocatively branched out into another branch, pushing the Jinghong Knife further away.

Yu Zhao: “…”

I really deserve a beating!

This is the first time I feel that a spiritual plant deserves a beating. I really want to chop it up and use it as firewood.

As if it had discovered something interesting, the spiritual plant suddenly stopped moving, then rolled up Yu Zhao's neck with the amber stone, landed on her lips, and dragged the stone to trace the shape of her lips. The vines wrapped around her neck and arms also slowly loosened.

"You two, time's up."

Suddenly, a female cultivator's voice was heard outside. Yu Zhao responded and looked down, only to be surprised to find that the spiritual plant that had been glowing just now had disappeared without a trace.

She dug up the stone that was suspected to be the root of the spiritual plant with her bare hands. After turning over several stones, she found nothing but overflowing hot spring water.

But the red marks on the arms are still there.

Picking up the amber stone from the hot spring pool, Yu Zhao stood up, wiped off the water and put on his clothes. At this time, Leng Quanyi also walked out and raised her hand to hand it to her.

The two walked out together.

Seeing the female cultivator beside her handing her a cup of warm milk, Yu Zhao asked, "Are there any spiritual plants in the hot spring pool?"

The female cultivator uttered a sigh of surprise and said gently, "Junior sister, you must be talking about the Moonlight Vine. It's only found in premium hot spring pools and is used for massage. However, they are very naughty and will occasionally run into ordinary hot spring pools to hide."

Moonlight Vine...

The massage force was a bit too strong, and it felt more like she was being strangled to death. Yu Zhao couldn't help but complain.

Seeing someone interested, the female cultivator pulled out a pot of spiritual plants from a drawer. Inside the red ceramic was a tiny plant, delicate and soft, its branches and leaves trembling like tender buds.

Yu Zhao reached out and touched it. The leaves shrank into a ball like a mimosa, looking very timid. "Uh... why isn't it glowing?"

"It will glow only when it grows up. This kind of spiritual plant never glows when it is young."

Her answer was completely different from what Yu Zhao had seen.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Zhao still spent a huge sum of one hundred spirit stones to buy it.

Along the way, Yu Zhao was tirelessly teasing its leaves. Every time his fingertips touched them, they would shrink together, then open up, and shrink again, over and over again.

Returning to her residence, she placed the potted plant on the table. Seeing that Little Black Fish was still sleeping, sprawled out, she didn't call him to wake up. As soon as she stepped out of the door, Leng Quanyi slowly approached from behind, emitting a strange fragrance that captivated her heart.

"Did you...see anyone in the hot spring pool?"

Yu Zhao, who was walking in front, stopped in his tracks. Caught off guard, the girl behind him was distracted and hadn't noticed the figure in front of him, so he bumped into her back. Forces act reciprocally, and Yu Zhao felt like he'd been hit hard on the back, the kind that felt like a dirty punch.

Grinning in pain, she rubbed her back twice and said, "I only saw the moonlight vine crawling around."

It's like practicing iron head kung fu.

Hearing this, Leng Quanyi didn't ask any more questions. With a downcast expression, he just rubbed the amber stone with his fingers, "You soaked for two more hours."

"What do you mean?" Yu Zhao pinched her face and looked down at her from the steps.

Leng Quanyi below stared at her closely and said sternly, "You took my amber pendant for two hours, you owe me..."

She was suddenly stunned, and then began to count on her fingers, thinking carefully about how much difference there was.

Yu Zhao: “…”

I am very relieved that I have finally found someone like me who is not educated.

Even when they reached the main hall, Leng Quanyi still hadn't figured out what was going on, and the look in her eyes became even more confused.

At this moment, Yu Zhao definitely couldn't let her go. He smiled and leaned forward to ask, "How much is the difference?"

Leng Quanyi closed her eyes, unable to utter a single word. Soon she raised her eyes, looked at her calmly, then silently extended two white fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.

"Do you understand this number?"

Following her beautiful and slender fingers, Yu Zhao fell silent. He didn't expect her to throw the problem to her. Sometimes this was indeed a way to solve the problem.

Now is the time to test her conscience.

Yu Zhao lowered his eyelashes, took a step forward, raised his hand in a familiar manner, put one hand directly on her shoulder, chuckled softly, and used a roundabout way of speaking.

"Look, I've worked so hard to take care of you these past two days...you tell me..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the amber eyes stared at her for a long time before finally continuing.

“It costs extra money.”

Yu Zhao continued, "But given our relationship, we're all just friends, so these two things cancel each other out, right?"

Feeling that something was wrong, but not finding anything unreasonable for the time being, Leng Quanyi's brain was working rapidly. After a while, he nodded silently.

"That's right." Yu Zhao curled his lips and said casually, "I like smart people like you."

like……

These two words were like a sledgehammer, hammering hard into a corner of her heart. Leng Quanyi looked at her in a daze. Her rationality gradually returned, but her eyes were a little confused. Her mother had also said the same thing to her father.

Now that someone has said this to her, what should she do?

No one taught me.

Yu Zhaoren is pretty good. He can run very fast with her on his back, and he will take her with him when he encounters danger, which is a plus.

There were noisy sounds all around her, but her heart was beating like thunder. She couldn't tell whether it was because of the noise and the irritability, or for some other reason.

After a while, the pounding heart gradually calmed down, and the girl's eyes gradually focused. She turned her head and grabbed Yu Zhao's wrist as he was about to leave. She applied a little force, almost making him fall into her arms.

"I can't answer you yet."

This nonsense made Yu Zhao a little confused, and his pupils trembled. No, she asked a question just now?

Just as he was about to speak, Leng Quanyi let go of his hand first, looking like an old monk in meditation.
