"You seem resistant. I remember you don't dislike peaches."

In the gentle breeze, Lin Qiye held the peach as if it were a hot potato, unsure whether to give it or not.

"These peaches are hard to come by, this is your good fortune. I don't want them, you should eat them," Jiang Shiyuan said helplessly.

She knew Lin Qiye was thinking of saving the peaches for her. Honestly, there was only one peach the size of an egg. How could she possibly take it?

Lin Qiye lowered his eyes, his mood clearly not as pleasant as before, but he still forced a smile, "Although you have no memory now, we are still boyfriend and girlfriend, there's no need to be so formal."

“Whether you have memories or not makes no difference. If you had two, you could share one with me, but you only have one, so you really don’t need to share with me.” Jiang Shiyuan’s expression was very serious.

She wasn't that domineering, nor was she that self-satisfied. Even if Lin Qiye offered it to her, she would absolutely not accept it.

Lin Qiye sighed, a strange sense of loss welling up inside him.

When you like someone, you can't help but want to give them the best of everything, and he was no exception. However, Jiang Shiyuan had her own bottom line, which always left him speechless.

What can we do if she doesn't want it? We can't force her to have it, or a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

This isn't the first time; he wants to give his girlfriend a gift but can't seem to get it to her. He's definitely not a very good boyfriend.

"Hurry up and eat..." Jiang Shiyuan saw Lin Qiye's gloomy expression and felt helpless, as if she had let him down. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only urge him dryly.

“I understand. I was just thinking that you were injured in Takamagahara and often felt pain. Perhaps eating the peaches would make you feel better.” Lin Qiye was also a stubborn person, and he explained again, unwilling to give up.

Jiang Shiyuan almost died at Susanoo's hands because he absorbed the faith of Takamagahara and she was protecting him as they left together. He had explained this to her when she first felt the pain from the sword wound.

Although he frequently used the [Miracle] to nourish Jiang Shiyuan's body during this period, one can tell from Andre's fate that his body had been cut open by a sharp blade, and the wounds left by the [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi] were not so easy to heal.

In other words, Jiang Shiyuan's healing abilities are strong, and his "miracle" constantly nourishes her body, which is why her body looks no different from before.

If one were to eat a peach of immortality, a divine fruit associated with longevity, it would certainly be of greater help in healing injuries.

Having said all that, refusing now would seem ungrateful, so Jiang Shiyuan looked conflicted.

Besides, the two had already been declining each other's offers for a while. She glanced silently at Yang Jian and Nezha, who were pretending to chat not far away, and said, "Fine, actually I'm also very curious about the taste of the peaches. Can you share a bite with me? I just want to taste it."

"Okay!" Lin Qiye felt touched, like a child who didn't want to eat finally graciously taking a bite. He immediately agreed and placed the peach in Jiang Shiyuan's hand.

"Do you have a knife?" Jiang Shiyuan asked helplessly, weighing the peach in her hand.

"You can eat it directly, I don't mind." Lin Qiye glanced at Jiang Shiyuan's lips casually, coughed lightly, and explained in a way that only made things worse, "The knives on my body have all been exposed to blood, they're not hygienic."

"Ah, this..." Jiang Shiyuan hesitated again. Wouldn't this mean letting Lin Qiye eat what she left over?

She didn't mind eating from the same dish, but eating from the same peach...

Something feels wrong.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Lin Qiye emphasized again, speaking with conviction, "Eat quickly, the spiritual energy hasn't dissipated yet, it's the best time to eat. It would be a pity if the spiritual energy dissipated."

Jiang Shiyuan hesitated for a moment, then, seeing that Lin Qiye really didn't mind, she didn't say anything, put the peach to her mouth, and said, "Then I won't be polite, I'll take a bite..."

She swore she had never been so 'elegant' in her life, taking a very careful bite of a peach before eagerly returning it.

Lin Qiye: “…”

Looking at the peach that had only suffered a superficial injury, he wondered if Jiang Shiyuan had really eaten it.

"I've already tasted it, it's quite sweet." Jiang Shiyuan savored the sweet taste and was somewhat surprised. The peach looked green and small, but it tasted surprisingly sweet.

"...You actually tasted it?" Lin Qiye was incredulous. That bite was so perfunctory, and Jiang Shiyuan even said it was sweet. Could she have been lying to him?

Jiang Shiyuan was speechless. What did he mean by "actually tasted it"?

She feigned anger and frowned to stop Lin Qiye from asking any more questions, "Hurry up, you're taking so long to eat a peach, Yang Jian and the others are waiting over there!"

“...Alright then.” Lin Qiye sighed, knowing that if the stalemate continued, Jiang Shiyuan would not compromise any further, so he had no choice but to obediently accept the scolding.

As soon as the peach was brought to my lips, its unique peach aroma filled my nostrils. Taking a bite, the deliciousness of the peach itself was secondary; the key was a surge of pure energy that slid down my esophagus, forming a warm current in my stomach.

The peaches from the Three Thousand Years Old are indeed small, and can be eaten in just two bites, but they contain a great deal of energy.

"The peaches can enhance your strength, but with your current level, you can't fully digest them in a short time. It will take at least a day."

Not far away, Yang Jian saw that Lin Qiye and Jiang Shiyuan had finally stopped refusing and eaten the peaches, so he stopped his awkward conversation with Nezha and turned to remind Lin Qiye.

"Just focus on absorbing the peaches of immortality. She and I..." Yang Jian's gaze swept lightly over Jiang Shiyuan before he continued, "We will both be here to protect you."

“That’s right, don’t worry.” Jiang Shiyuan readily agreed.

……

Green peaks rise one after another, and cranes flutter gracefully in the air.

On a certain immortal mountain within the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, Lin Qiye began absorbing the peaches of immortality, while Yang Jian sat quietly not far away, protecting him.

Jiang Shiyuan sat alone at the white jade table in the courtyard, lost in thought over the plum branches that had been there all day but still looked vibrant.

Finally, she calmed down and had time to think. She couldn't wait to see if this plum blossom was the one Wang Zhaojun wanted.

However, this is the Jade Pool Wonderland after all, and the Queen Mother of the West is here. It wouldn't be good if the system panel were summoned and noticed.

After thinking for a moment, she stood up, found a spot nearby with a great view, sat down cross-legged, suppressed her restlessness, and closed her eyes to meditate.

If things can't be done for the time being, there's no need to worry about it anymore.

The Yaochi Immortal Realm is rich in spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation. She tasted the peach and could feel how immense the energy inside was. Once Lin Qiye finished absorbing it, his strength would definitely improve significantly.

Regardless of the outcome of the fight, at least in terms of strength, she has fallen behind and needs to work harder.

As Jiang Shiyuan closed her eyes, the surroundings became completely quiet.

Time passed quietly.
