The Dragon Who Loved Eating Trees (2/5)

The realm divisions after the Immortal Realm!

Cang Lan and Jian Wuji exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. This was the purpose of their trip. They hadn't held out much hope, since while the Mysterious Bookstore was powerful, its reputation was mainly based on the magical books, not the extraordinary cultivation levels of its staff.

For example, cultivators who have already entered the Immortal Realm all believe that their strength is roughly the same as that of the employees in the Mysterious Bookstore who have also entered the Immortal Realm.

So Cang Lan and the others actually came here to discuss the realms above Immortal with Ma Feifei, but now, he's brought up the realm classification directly, which has completely exceeded their expectations.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Cang Lan and Jian Wuji bowed in thanks, their faces full of curiosity.

Ma Feifei understood and didn't linger. After some polite exchanges, Ba Jiu escorted Cang Lan and Jian Wuji away, while Ma Feifei lay on the rocking chair and began to daydream.

As I was writing, my upper and lower eyelids started to droop.

Then Ma Feifei fell asleep.

However, in the Book Garden twenty miles Zhenbei, something unexpected happened to Ma Feifei.

"This tree is growing really well."

"It smells so good..."

"It smells better and better..."

I really want to take a bite.

"But these are all meant to be sold, I can't eat them."

Yun Qingyang stood in front of a tree that was already as tall as herself, looking at the sapling growing strong, her eyes filled with Covet. Several times she reached out to touch the sapling, but she restrained herself and withdrew her hand each time.

"I can't eat it, I can't eat it!" Yun Qingyang shook her head violently, trying to convince herself that this was meant to be sold for money, and that she could get lots and lots of Spirit Crystal from it. If she ate it, she would lose all of them.

Two servants stood beside the sapling, slowly pouring water at its roots to nourish it and help it mature. Hearing Yun Qingyang muttering to himself, their eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"Ding ding ding~~"

The saplings began to radiate golden light. Yun Qingyang turned her head and saw that tender leaves were sprouting from the originally bare branches. One by one, they slowly covered the treetops, the buds tender and green, a truly beautiful sight.

Yun Qingyang stared at the newly sprouted green leaves, her eyes filled with Covet. She put her index finger in her mouth and murmured, "These leaves are so beautiful."

Just then, the two servants finished watering their basins and turned to run off to fetch more water. Yun Qingyang glanced at their backs before looking back at them.

"I only ate a leaf, it should be fine, right?"

"Hmm, it's alright, there are so many leaves, it'll be fine."

Thinking of this, Yun Qingyang picked a leaf and put it in his mouth.

"Hoothoot ~"

"I can't taste anything, let me have another one."

"Hoothoot ~~"

This is the last piece!

"Hoothoot ~~"

"The last piece..."

"Hoothoot ~~"

"..."

Ten minutes later, two servants returned with water.

"Huh?" A servant looked down at his feet, then looked up at his surroundings, his face full of confusion.

"Where is our tree?" Another servant's face gradually showed a look of horror. This tree was their responsibility, and if it disappeared, they would be fully responsible.

"Look!" one of the servants suddenly tugged at the clothes of another servant and pointed in a direction.

Another servant looked in that direction, a look of shock on his face.

In the direction the two servants were looking, a woman was crouching on the ground, the small tree in front of her had long since disappeared, and she was holding a handful of leaves in her hands, which she was constantly stuffing into her mouth.

Seemingly sensing the strange looks, the woman glanced up at the two of them discreetly, then silently turned away...

"This..." The two servants looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Two hours later, Ma Feifei was awakened by Nightmare!

"Whoa!" Ma Feifei sat up from the rocking chair and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That's strange, I had Nightmare again today," Ma Feifei said with lingering fear. He hadn't slept well at all, feeling groggy and plagued by Nightmare, often accompanied by the sensation of sleep paralysis, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhang Caicai, pour me a cup of tea." Ma Feifei looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun was already setting. Judging by the time, it should be almost five o'clock. Usually, the Bookstore would be closing up shop by this time.

"Shopkeeper, your tea." Zhang Caicai brought over a steaming cup of tea, placed it on a small table, and greeted her with a smile.

Ma Feifei took the tea and drank a sip, instantly feeling incredibly comfortable. He put down the tea, stood up, stretched, glanced at Zhang Caicai, and asked, "Didn't you go hunting for ingredients at Nine Heavens Mountain today?"

Zhang Caicai shook her head and said, "We already have plenty of ingredients. We don't need to hunt for more until we finish eating them all, otherwise it will affect their freshness."

Ma Feifei nodded. He didn't know much about cooking, but he did know that the fresher the ingredients, the more delicious they would be.

"Hey! Since you're all alright, then I'll take you to a nice place!" Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Where is it?" Ba Jiu popped up and asked curiously. He had an adventurous spirit towards unfamiliar places, but he had already explored the area around Dubian Town. Where could he find such a good place?

"Hehe! Just follow me, I guarantee you'll be amazed." Ma Feifei didn't say anything more, keeping everyone in suspense, and then walked outside first.

"Keep up."

Zhang Caicai and Ba Jiu exchanged a glance, then called Mu Qingyi to follow along. They were also very curious about the wonderful place Ma Feifei had mentioned.

Coincidentally, Ma Feifei also met Chang Kong's family on the way. They had entered the Nine Heavens Mountain to hunt spirit beasts today. It was said that Chang Kong believed his cooking skills were no less than Zhang Caicai's, but his family disliked him, so he insisted on showing off his skills. After finishing up at the Mysterious Bookstore, the whole family gathered to go to the Nine Heavens Mountain to hunt for ingredients.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei exclaimed, "What kind of dish is he making?!" He then spoke mysteriously to them, piquing their curiosity, and they all wanted to follow Ma Feifei to see what this wonderful place was.

Ma Feifei was naturally very proud, and looking at the ever-growing tour group around him, he felt extremely honored.

Soon, they arrived at the Pokémon competition venue, which was shrouded in Mist.

"Isn't this the Pokémon competition venue?" Zhang Yunji asked.

"But what is this Mist? It's completely enveloping the venue, and I can't even Detect what's inside," Chang Kong said, frowning.

"Really! Even with my culinary skills, I can't Detect this Mist. It's all a blur of white." Zhang Caicai was also very curious, wondering what this Mist was and how it could have such magical effects.

"It seems to be a kind of formation as well?" Ba Jiu said thoughtfully. He had already entered the Immortal Realm and was also an auspicious omen, so he had an innate understanding of this Mist that was different from ordinary people.

"Let's go, let's go, you'll be very surprised in a moment." Ma Feifei didn't care, waved to signal everyone to stop talking nonsense, and took the lead in stepping into the Mist.

The crowd looked at each other, their curiosity growing stronger, and then followed them inside.
