Bright-Soul Spirit Spring, Childish Nuwa

With snow falling heavily and a cold wind howling, Wu Chu felt that Zhen Yuanzi's mood at this moment must be just like the cold wind—utterly chaotic.

Hong Yun is causing trouble for Zhen Yuanzi again.

Having a friend like this can be very comforting at times, but it can also be very frustrating at others. It's like a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Of course, Zhen Yuanzi could refuse, since it was just a suggestion.

Unfortunately, Zhen Yuanzi never rejected Hong Yun.

These are true best buddies.

Although they said they didn't want to, their actions told a different story.

The Spirit Treasure Earth Book was summoned by Zhen Yuanzi, and its powerful aura instantly swept out in all directions, covering the entire Purple Jade Mountain Dojo. Countless earth elemental forces, along with the power of the earth veins, were sent by Zhen Yuanzi into this valley to increase the fertility of the flower field.

Unfortunately, Nuwa had not yet found the Nine-Heavens Resting Soil at this time; otherwise, borrowing some of the Nine-Heavens Resting Soil from Nuwa would have been enough to fertilize the Flower Valley.

Afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi summoned the power of wood element to envelop the flower field, and set up an array outside the flower field to bind the earth and wood elemental forces within the Flower Valley.

In the blink of an eye, the flower field was enveloped in a misty atmosphere, giving it an ethereal and otherworldly feel. The flowers in the valley swayed and danced, displaying a joyful and exuberant appearance.

Seeing this, Hong Yun took out a Fish Drum, flicked it with her Fish Drum, and with a thud, a string of crystalline droplets flew out of the Fish Drum, floated into the air, and then turned into a mist, sprinkling onto the flower field. The flowers, shrouded in the mist, became even more joyful, dancing without wind.

"What is this?" Wu Chu asked curiously.

Hong Yun introduced it to Wu Chu, saying, "This is a spiritual spring that I found by chance during my travels. It is very beneficial to the Primordial Spirit, so I named it the Bright-Soul Spirit Spring."

Wu Chu's eyes widened, and he asked, "Does it work on other living beings?"

In the flower field, hundreds of flowers swayed, like smiling faces expressing their gratitude to Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun. Wu Chu could even hear a few weak "thank you"s coming from among them, which felt a bit like a hallucination, but Wu Chu believed there was nothing wrong with his ears.

Hong Yun smiled and said, "It should have some effect! Why don't you give it a try?"

Seeing Hong Yun's directness, Wu Chu hesitated for a moment. But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of strengthening his Primordial Spirit and gave it a try.

The result is that there is an effect, but it is not very obvious. It may be more effective on plant creatures, just like the Primordial One-Qi Pure Spirit Spring, which is clearly biased towards plants.

It seemed that Wu Chu had been tricked into drinking Bright-Soul Spirit Spring, Hong Yun laughed heartily as if he had gotten a great deal, displaying a rather mischievous side.

Zhen Yuanzi then explained on Hong Yun's behalf, saying that this was just Hong Yun's personality and that Wu Chu shouldn't mind, and that he should do what a good buddy should do.

It's obvious that Zhen Yuanzi's personality is far less carefree than Hong Yun's.

Wu Chu smiled nonchalantly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formality. Fellow Daoist Hongyun is also a friend of mine, and there's no need for such politeness between friends. Besides, this Bright-Soul Spirit Spring has been somewhat useful to me, although the effect isn't very obvious."

Hong Yun laughed at Zhen Yuanzi, "I knew you weren't the kind of person who couldn't take a joke. You just like to meddle in other people's business."

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Even jokes have to be interpreted in the context of the person. Fellow Zhen Yuanzi's actions are a sign of his maturity and composure, and he can prevent such petty people from getting away with it. It's a blessing from Heavenly Dao that you have such a thoughtful friend as Fellow Zhen Yuanzi. To say that he's meddling in other people's business is simply a case of not recognizing a good person's heart."

Upon hearing Wu Chu's words, Zhen Yuanzi seemed to find them deeply relatable and began to pour out his Water Comes to Wu Chu, "Now you know my worries, right? This fellow always likes to make jokes in inappropriate situations, it's driving me crazy."

The intense homoerotic tension was palpable, leaving Wu Chu only able to sigh.

After chatting and marveling for a while, Wu Chu saw Hong Yun sit down by the flower field and talk to the flowers. Zhen Yuanzi also began to set up the magic array. Wu Chu then turned around and went to the lake covered by heavy snow to look at the giant tortoise that looked like a small island.

In fact, most of the giant tortoise's body was covered by heavy snow, and thick icicles could even be seen hanging down around its carapace. Its eyes were closed, and you couldn't feel any breath from it; it stood there like a statue.

As for the Red Giant Fish, in Wu Chu's perception, its body was frozen in the ice layer of the lake and had long been covered by heavy snow, but its aura was still very stable.

At that moment, a burst of laughter came from the top of the tree.

Wu Chu, filled with curiosity, soared into the sky, only to be met with a snowball flying straight at him, hitting him squarely in the face and slamming him off the clouds.

Holy crap!

Wu Chu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, because he saw that the one who threw the snowball was none other than the Little Fox from Qingqiu.

But just as he tried to dodge, his body suddenly became unresponsive.

When the Little Fox saw the snowball hit Wu Chu's face, it still looked completely innocent, staring with its big, cute eyes, and asked Little Moon Spirit somewhat nervously, "Senior, why didn't he dodge?"

Little Moon Spirit was also stunned, while Nuwa just kept giggling.

Hearing Nuwa's gloating laughter, Wu Chu knew that it must have been this woman's doing. How childish of a future ancestral god of the Human Clan to do such a thing!

The Little Deer Cub, which had been sealed away for decades and had just been released, hopped and skipped to the edge of the Summit of the Sacred Tree, where it saw Wu Chu crash into the snow below, creating a large crater.

Big Dog A Qiu also lay on the edge of the treetop looking down. Now, A Qiu, perhaps because he hadn't eaten for decades and was immersed in the Dao Resonance to comprehend the Dao, had finally slimmed down his fat body and had a bit of the demeanor of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf Clan, but no matter how you looked at him, he looked more and more like a Siberian Husky.

Coming to her Little Moon Spirit hurriedly ran downstairs, just in time to see Wu Chu crawling out of the snow with a speechless expression. "A Chu, Brother A Chu... are you alright!"

"Ptooey, ptooey..."

Wu Chu spat out the snow water, shook his head, and looked at Nuwa looking down from the treetop with a hint of resentment. He really wanted to say, "How can you be so childish?"

At the top of the tree, the Little Fox, looking down at Nuwa, tilted its head and asked Nuwa beside it with a bewildered expression, "Senior, why... why is this happening?"

Nuwa laughed and said, "Little Fox, don't worry, just think he's teasing you! Your master has a very good temperament and is easy to talk to."

"I... I... it seems the senior hasn't agreed to accept me as a disciple yet."

"You don't need to worry. Now that you're here, he wouldn't possibly drive you out of Purple Jade Mountain, would he?" Nuwa's lips curled slightly. "He wouldn't do that."

"..."
