Ji Ruo had never expected that what convinced Mountain God Wood was actually the line, "Great Xia has plenty of fertilizer."
As the saying went, people were iron and food was steel; skip a meal, and you'd feel weak.
By that logic, the relationship between Plant Demons and "fertilizer" was pretty much the same.
Ji Ruo had no idea what "fertilizer freedom" meant to these Plant Demons who wanted nothing to do with the world.
"Pinky Promise?" Mountain God Wood asked, puzzled.
Ji Ruo explained, "It's a way we humans make promises. Once we've made a Pinky Promise, we can't take it back!"
"Good! Pinky Promise!"
Mountain God Wood extended a slender branch, and he and Ji Ruo hooked their pinkies.
Ji Ruo happily hooked pinkies with Mountain God Wood. "Pinky promise~ Hang yourself~ A hundred years, don't change!"
[Congratulations, young host! You have triggered a functional achievement: Pinky promise, hang yourself, a hundred years, don't change!]
[Skill acquired: Pinky Promise!]
[Pinky Promise: When both parties consent, a "promise" can be made by hooking pinkies. While the "promise" is in effect, your relationship with the target remains fixed at "friendly." If you fulfill the promise, your favorability will increase permanently!
The precise increase in favorability depends on the content of the "promise" and the time limit for fulfilling it.]
[Note: Whatever you do, don't break your promise~ Kids who don't keep their word will be disliked by others~]
[Note: If you've made a promise, you have to keep it~]
[Note: Pinky promise, hang yourself, a hundred years, don't change!]
"Then it's a promise!"
Ji Ruo said happily, "Grandpa Mountain God Wood, you can control the Earth Vein, right? Could you please let Aunt Wind God Falcon out? We can leave what happens next to her."
"Sure!"
Just then, dazzling light
