Chapter 219: Willow Seed

Chapter 219: Willow Seed

Chu Feng lay motionless on the ground, looking very peaceful, as if he had been out for a while.

"Uh, really out cold?"

Shaohua shook her head. Young people these days, their bodies are so frail!

Actually, this couldn't be blamed on Chu Feng. He was quite brave, daring to run off to Kunlun Mountain alone, knowing it was dangerous. He wouldn’t have been scared by a mere whisper.

The real reason he passed out was because someone had unconsciously used a bit of Spiritual Might, which was like using Mystic Arts against a mortal. The effect was naturally outstanding.

Shaohua looked around and saw that the little Yellow Ox had also fainted. For the moment, she ignored the two of them and walked into the Pavilion, acting as if she owned the place.

Soon, she sat down in the study on the second floor, her beautiful eyes scanning the room. She casually picked up a few books and started flipping through them.

"These writings and some of the content in the books seem very familiar. Interesting, what kind of world have I ended up in?"

She sat by the desk, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, feeling that the mist surrounding her had not only not dissipated but had become even thicker and more profound.

There was no doubt that her origins were extraordinary. After all, who in their right mind could have been grown from a seed?

The mist not only enveloped her but seemed to shroud the entire expanse of history, making one feel a deep sense of unease.

"Well, since I’m here, I might as well settle in. I should bury those two first, I suppose." Shaohua thought for a moment and decided to stop pondering.

There’s always a way when you get to the mountain, and the boat will naturally find its way under the bridge. With no clues at the moment, why trouble oneself needlessly? That wasn’t something to worry about now.

She carried the young man in one hand and the little Yellow Ox in the other, and walked out into the adjacent Orchard.

This place was on the eastern edge of the town, rarely visited by anyone, making it very convenient.

Both the man and the ox were still unconscious, unaware of their surroundings.

At noon, the sun was high and warm, casting a pleasant glow.

The Yellow Ox was the first to wake up. With some inherent strength, it opened its eyes slightly but immediately felt a heavy weight on its body, as if something was pressing down on it, and it was scared into closing its eyes again.

Oh, great, they said the Earth had just started to recover, so how could such a terrifying person appear? Just seeing the back of this person, one could feel that Immortal Presence, so light and ethereal.

Not long after, Chu Feng slowly woke up as well. However, his condition was even worse than the Yellow Ox, who was serving as a cushion. Most of his body was buried in the ground.

"Where am I?" He shook his head, trying to move, but suddenly realized he couldn’t.

He looked down and was immediately stunned, his eyes wide with confusion.

He tried to calm himself, and a familiar golden glint caught his eye. Turning his head, he saw the Yellow Ox lying on the ground not far away.

As his gaze moved up, he finally saw the "culprit"!

It was a woman in a green ancient dress. Her face was obscured, but the perfect figure alone was enough to spark endless imagination.

There was no need to think; this was definitely a stunning beauty. Wait a moment, what did he just see?

Chu Feng was shocked. He realized that the mysterious woman was holding his communicator, looking very serious and engaged.

Most importantly, it seemed like she was talking to someone!

His face turned stiff, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He felt a headache coming on. How would he explain this to anyone?

If it was a call with his friends, what would they think? He had just broken up with the school goddess, and now another woman was using his communicator. His reputation was ruined!

And that was the best-case scenario. If it was his parents on the other end, he would want to die.

He was still feeling the aftereffects of whatever happened, his head dizzy, and the woman’s voice was too low to hear clearly.

Chu Feng felt depressed and helpless. Each second felt like an eternity, especially being buried in the ground. He had no chance to interrupt.

If he angered the mysterious woman, it wouldn’t just be a matter of losing face; it could be a matter of life and death.

He knew the stakes all too well.

Finally, the call ended, and Chu Feng felt a great sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

It didn’t matter anymore.

Then he saw the mysterious woman turn around, waving his communicator with a smile. "You’re awake, congratulations, you’re now a girl!"

Chu Feng felt dizzy and a strange pain in his lower body.

"I’ll take you on!" he shouted, struggling to get up, ready to fight to the death.

"Just a joke, young man, don’t get so worked up." Shaohua remained seated on the Yellow Ox, chuckling.

"."

Chu Feng wanted to curse. His face turned green. Could she really joke about something like this?

"Why did you ambush me and bury me in the ground?" he asked, trying to stay calm, showing his bravery.

At this, Shaohua got angry, coldly snorting and asking, "Who was it that buried me in the ground yesterday and was about to fertilize me?"

Chu Feng nearly fell over from shock.

What was this? Could this mysterious woman be the sprout from the seed he brought back?

Yesterday, when he had the sudden idea to borrow fertilizer from the Yellow Ox, he had fantasized about growing the Queen Mother of Heaven or the Goddess of the Nine Heavens from the ground.

Heaven help him, he had only said it in passing, but today, he had actually grown an Immortal.

Now he was just thankful he hadn’t really fertilized the seed; otherwise, his fate would have been much worse, probably ending up as fertilizer himself!

"Hey, Immortal Lady, I really didn’t mean it. Nothing happened, right?"

Chu Feng was extremely embarrassed and then said nervously, "Considering how far I traveled to bring you back, please let me off the hook."

With someone like her, he had no choice but to be humble.

Besides, if this woman really was the Azure Seed, it was too terrifying, beyond his comprehension and impossible to fight.

"Alright, let’s call it even", Shaohua finally said after a long silence, her eyes moving away from the communicator.

She stood up and gracefully walked away.

"Phew~" Chu Feng let out a long sigh, seeing the Yellow Ox quickly get up and calling it to help him.

"Moo!" The Yellow Ox grinned, looking disdainful.

"Wait, don’t leave yet. That woman is extremely mysterious, coming from the Kunlun Immortal Seed. She might be the Queen Mother of Heaven or the Goddess of the Nine Heavens."

Chu Feng started to talk, trying to convince the young ox, "She’s in my house now. We need to form an alliance and work together; we might get great benefits!"

The Yellow Ox’s eyes darted around. It had a secret past and didn’t feel safe being alone with the mysterious woman. Reluctantly, it started digging Chu Feng out with its hooves.

The two of them left the small forest and resolutely entered the courtyard.

No matter what, the mysterious woman hadn’t harmed them. Plus, there were two more seeds in the flower garden. Who knew what else might grow from them?

But unfortunately, when they returned, Shaohua was already holding the two seeds, clearly very interested in them.

One seed was round, with a wrinkled surface, relatively plump, and slightly yellow.

The other seed looked like an enlarged version of a willow seed, but it was dry and deformed, lacking vitality.

Chu Feng watched this, his heart aching, and wanted to shout: Let go of those seeds and let me handle it!

After all, one seed had already grown a person, so the other two might also grow Immortals.

"Everyone gets one", Shaohua flicked her finger, tossing the yellow round seed to Chu Feng and keeping the willow seed for herself.

Chu Feng was overjoyed, never expecting to get it back. He quickly caught the seed and put it in his pocket, then pushed the approaching Yellow Ox away, making it snort in anger.

When he lost both seeds, he was furious; but now, getting one back, he felt much better.

Seeing the mysterious woman seemed reasonable, Chu Feng mustered the courage to ask whom she had been talking to.

He couldn’t let this go unresolved.

Shaohua extended her hand, her white, slender fingers gleaming in the sunlight, and deftly operated the communicator before showing it to Chu Feng.

"Lin Nuoyi?!" Chu Feng felt like crying, feeling his life had lost its luster, and he did a standard face-plant.

How would he explain this to his ex-girlfriend?

No, this was something that couldn’t be explained at all!

"Are you close to her?" Shaohua tilted her head, asking.

"She’s my ex-girlfriend", Chu Feng gritted his teeth, his face dark.

"No worries, you’ve already broken up. Why dwell on it? Cut ties and move on. Don’t give up the whole forest for one tree!" Shaohua sighed.

"Are you really from a seed?"

Chu Feng was skeptical. This woman seemed to know a lot, more than an ancient person should know about modern times.

Moreover, he hadn’t noticed before, but now he realized her Mandarin was even more standard than his, which was ridiculous!

"As real as it gets!" Shaohua lifted her chin, not intending to explain further.

Seemingly sensing his doubts, she casually slapped the edge of a decorative stone in the courtyard. The next moment, the stone, which was about half a person’s height, turned to dust.

"Immortal Lady, you’re mighty!" Chu Feng exclaimed.

Good grief, if that slap had landed on him, he would have been bruised all over!

"Want to learn?" Shaohua smiled, tossing the communicator back to Chu Feng. "Go get me a communicator, and I’ll teach you something."

Chu Feng had no choice but to comply. He was also excited; if he could learn some Immortal techniques, it would be a huge gain.

"Moo moo moo!" The Yellow Ox called out, clearly wanting one too.

Following the principle that it’s better to do less, Chu Feng agreed, though he wouldn’t get the Yellow Ox a good one, just a used one from a secondhand store.

Seeing Chu Feng leave, Shaohua quickly called the Yellow Ox over, gently patting its head. "Little Yellow, do you know any techniques or spells? Teach me one to fool that boy."

She had forgotten much and didn’t remember any techniques or spells. Her ability to shatter the stone was purely due to her strength. Noticing the Yellow Ox’s extraordinary nature, she decided to take advantage of it.

"."

The Yellow Ox opened its mouth, feeling dizzy. Wasn’t this supposed to be a powerful ancient being? How could she be asking for techniques and spells from it?

It seemed inappropriate.

But the terrifying force on its head told it that if it didn’t agree, its skull would shatter.

The Yellow Ox stood on its hind legs, moving gracefully and nimbly. Once it changed its stance, it was both swift and elegant, not at all like a regular ox.

Its movements were agile, and its hooves moved in a powerful, yet fluid, pattern, creating a strong wind and a thunderous sound, exuding a fierce aura.

Shaohua watched, her beautiful eyes capturing every detail. She instinctively seemed to have practiced this technique a thousand times in her mind.

Just by observing, she grasped the essence, no need to practice; she understood the true meaning.

"What is this technique?" she asked.

"Great Bull Demon Fist!" The Yellow Ox couldn’t speak, but Shaohua understood its mental message.

Indeed, it fit her certain preconceived notions.

She closed her eyes, composed herself for a moment, and then moved. Her actions were as smooth as flowing water, her delicate and light punches seemingly summoning an ancient ox standing tall in the vast universe.

The Yellow Ox was stunned, its jaw dropping. It had only mastered this technique to a small degree, but someone could learn and fully understand it just by watching once?

"No, the core of this technique is resonance, specifically the power of resonance. Quite interesting", Shaohua didn’t need to complete the technique; she already understood everything.

She waved her sleeve, her demeanor calm and composed, and gently rubbed the Yellow Ox’s head, finding the sensation pleasant and developing some affection for it.

"Moo moo!" The Yellow Ox was very cooperative, acting very obediently.

"Hmm, this outfit isn’t quite right. I should change."

Shaohua looked at herself, recalling the women’s clothing she had seen on the communicator, and transformed. Her green ancient dress turned into modern attire.

It was summer, so she naturally changed into summer clothes.

Simple pants, a T-shirt, her figure was perfect, her long, black hair flowing over her shoulders, her skin as white and smooth as ivory, her eyes bright and beautiful, still looking like a celestial being.

These clothes were a manifestation of the Heaven-Earth Resonance, woven from the morning light and Primordial Violet Qi, a Radiant Robe, not an ordinary item, but a precious treasure that could change at will.
