The golden fruit

"Oh~"

Qian Ye looked out the door, his face almost turning green. Good heavens, five beautiful women were staring longingly in his direction.

Then he looked at Zi Yan, who was still sitting on his lap, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face. No wonder the door could be kicked open from the outside. The person outside must have heard the little girl crying and kicked it open to see the scene in front of them.

She was none other than Queen Medusa, and the other four standing behind her were immediately recognizable as the four elders of the snake people.

However, after the four of them took the Rejuvenation Pill given to them by Qian Ye last time, the four elders have become stunningly beautiful women who are about twenty years younger.

If they weren't standing together, they would be five beauties.

After realizing what had happened, Queen Medusa stormed into the room, went to the bedside, and immediately picked up Zi Yan from the bed.

She glared menacingly at Qian Ye: "Why... are you bullying Yan Yan?"

"This..." Qian Ye was speechless, unable to defend himself, so he simply remained silent.

"Sister Sha Sha, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Queen Medusa, Zi Yan felt a little embarrassed, as this matter was somewhat related to her. She had come to ask Qian Ye for a gift after hearing that Qian Ye had given her a jade bracelet.

Speaking out would be a slap in his own face, so he remained silent.

"Brother Ye, you won't even spare Yan Yan?" Queen Medusa questioned again.

Qian Ye, upon hearing this, felt that if she didn't clarify things with her, she would really have to take the blame. "Sha Sha, don't worry, things aren't actually as you imagine. Why don't you ask the girl?"

"Oh?" Queen Medusa turned her gaze back to Zi Yan with suspicion. "Is what he said true? Don't worry about Yan Yan, I will stand up for you."

Zi Yan quickly shook her head, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up. "It's like this, Sister Sha Sha, I ran out of my pills, and when I asked him for them, he wouldn't give them to me and even yelled at me, so I cried."

Hearing this, Queen Medusa breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qian Ye: "It's just pills. If you have any, give some to Yan Yan. She's not an outsider, why be so stingy?"

Uh~

That girl, she really knows how to shift the blame!

Qian Ye smiled and didn't expose the little girl's lie, "Alright, I'll give it to her right now."

After saying that, he took out a bottle of pills and gave it to her. Zi Yan took it and became happy. At the same time, she thanked Qian Ye in her heart for not exposing her lie in front of Queen Medusa. Brother Qian Ye is so good to her. Was she too rude just now?

It's not that I'm being unreasonable, it's just that I trusted him too much and relied on him too much. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even bother with them.

Zi Yan took the medicine bottle, opened it, poured the pills into her mouth, and ate them with a "crunch".

Queen Medusa shook her head upon seeing her expression, unsure of what to say to the little girl.

"By the way Sha Sha, is there something you need?" Qian Ye said, looking at the four beautiful elders at the door.

Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter!

Queen Medusa composed herself and glanced at the doorway. "It's nothing serious. The elders heard you were back and wanted to see you and give you a welcome-back dinner. 🐸👊 ♞💲"

"I see."

"How?"

"Very good."

"See you tonight?"

"Okay, see you tonight."

Queen Medusa didn't say much, took Zi Yan's hand and went out the door, leaving with the four elders.

Qian Ye shook his head, lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and overslept.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Qian Ye opened her eyes and was startled to meet a pair of purple eyes. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was none other than Zi Yan. Sure enough, this little girl wouldn't give up until she got the gift!

"Girl, when did you get here?"

"Hehe, I arrived a while ago but I didn't want to disturb you since you were sleeping so soundly," Zi Yan said with a nonchalant laugh.

Qian Ye closed his eyes, helpless against this little girl. He could only rub his forehead and get out of bed.

This girl, however, jumped out of bed and leaped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging to him.

Qian Ye didn't want to talk about her; she didn't resemble a dragon at all, she was clearly just a little gorilla who would always attach herself to herself. "Girl, the gift I mentioned to you earlier was yourself, so you misunderstood."

"How so?" Zi Yan asked calmly.

Qian Ye smiled and continued, "Haven't you always wanted to grow up? Of course, you're already a thousand years old, no younger than anyone else. It's just that when you ate the Body Transformation Grass, you were still Dou Wang, not yet a Dou Huang, so your body was small. As long as you don't break through to Dou Huang, you'll never grow up. So, I can help you break through to Dou Huang and grow up. Isn't that a gift of yourself?"

Ah~

Zi Yan was overjoyed, ecstatic. Growing up was her lifelong dream, and now someone was finally helping her. How could she not be happy? She hated the Body Transformation Grass, which had prevented her from growing up even after she had transformed. "Brother Qian Ye, you're so good to me."

"You're mine, if I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?" Qian Ye rolled her eyes in annoyance and patted her little head.

"Brother Qian Ye, do you have any way to help me break through?"

"Okay, come with me somewhere."

"Where?"

"You'll see when you get there." Qian Ye smiled, grabbed her hand, and suddenly a flash of light enveloped him, even Zi Yan, and he vanished from the spot.

Seconds later.

Zi Yan opened her eyes and found herself in another place. She glanced around, not knowing where she was. In front of her was a big tree, under which was a small wooden house. On the left and right sides were two small peach trees, with fruit on them, including green peaches and ripe, bright red peaches, each as big as an adult's fist.

Then they returned to the big tree ten feet away. The tree was golden from top to bottom, even the leaves, fruits, and flowers were golden.

This is naturally within the All Things Storage Ring, and those peaches are from the Spirit Peach Tree, while the golden tree is the Heavenly God Tree.

The fruit of the Heavenly God Tree can grant one the Heavenly God Rank simply by consuming one.

However, this is Fruit of the Plane, from the Immortal Domain of the Perfect World. Regardless of its usefulness, giving her one is not a problem.

So Qian Ye picked a ripe, golden fruit from the tree and held it in her hand. "Girl, let's go outside."

"Are you leaving already?" Zi Yan looked around the space, intending to explore further, but she hadn't expected him to leave after picking just one fruit.

"Yeah, we just came in to pick some fruit, don't overthink it." After saying that, Qian Ye grabbed the little girl's hand, and then, in a flash of inspiration, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

When Zi Yan opened her eyes again, she was back in Qian Ye Ye's room. She gave her the fruit and said, "Eat this, and maybe you can break through."

"What kind of fruit is this? It's so powerful!" Zi Yan happily accepted it, but felt it wasn't that easy. After all, what kind of fruits and elixirs hadn't she tried? How could just one fruit be enough to help her break through?

But regardless of whether she believed it or not, she couldn't ignore Qian Ye's words; perhaps she really would break through after taking it.

Without asking any further questions, she was never one to gossip. She opened her mouth and took a bite.
