Chapter 69: Cherry Blossoms Falling on the Snow Mountain (1)
Translator: 549690339
A few ‘strong’ tree demon brothers formed a circle and surrounded the Rock Dragon Lizard’s eggshell that Aunt Jing Lan had brought.
Inside the eggshell were all kinds of demon beast meat that had been processed long ago, as well as all kinds of ‘seasonings’ that the tree demon brothers had contributed.
Ji Ruo stood right under the eggshell, raising both of his hands high up. His iron palms were extremely white, and the flames seemed to have solidified. A layer of extremely hot white halo condensed on Ji Ruo’s palms, sticking to the bottom of the eggshell and acting as a human-shaped stove.
Now, his Iron Palm had already surpassed the scope of the regular Iron Palm and could be considered a higher level martial technique. However, to save trouble, Ji Ruoruo called it Iron Palm.
Gu Xing Zhou was speechless.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen someone use Iron Palm to cook hotpot!
Moreover, wasn’t it a little too ridiculous for a high school student to be able to practice the Iron Palm to the acme of perfection in the martial examination?!
However, when he thought about what Ji Ruo had done in this martial examination, Gu Xingzhou felt that it made sense…
“Poof
The water in the pot had already boiled. The meat pieces, various spirit herbs, and spirit fruits were rolling in it, and the fragrance spread everywhere.
“Meow meow -(Smells so good!)”
Luo Qian kept circling Ji Ruo, unable to wait any longer.
“Aunt Jinglan, Teacher, it’s almost ready. You guys eat first. I’ll cook for a while.”
Ji Ruo stood at the bottom of the pot and smiled.
“Rosie, you go eat too.”
At this moment, there was no other material on the top of the mountain that could be used to make a fire. The tree demon brothers were all good trees. How could they be used to cook hot pot?
Auntie Jing Lan and the two babies were not humans, so they did not know what politeness meant. The three foodies could not wait any longer and started eating.
Da Bao and Er Bao were scalded by the boiling soup, and they kept chirping.
However, he couldn’t resist the alluring delicacy. He ate and drank while squealing.
Rosie hurriedly ran over and hopped up to get it, but she could not reach it no matter how hard she tried.”Meow, meow, meow -(Give me some! Eat some! I can’t reach it!”
Aunt Jing Lan used a breeze to lift him up and brought him to the side of the pot.
The three birds and one cat ate happily.
Gu Xing Zhou picked up a stone the size of a human head and forcefully dug a groove in it with his palm. He then found a tree demon brother and broke off two small branches to serve as chopsticks. He scooped a bowl of meat soup and went to Ji Ruo’s side.
“Classmate Ji Ruo, you’ve been working hard. I can’t let you keep cooking here, so I’ll feed you something first.”
The eggshell of the Rock Dragon Lizard, the flesh and blood of a four-star demon beast, and a large number of spirit herbs and spirit fruits as ingredients. The essence contained in this pot of food was something that even the Ancient Star Continent was envious of.
However, he knew very well that all of this was Ji Ruo’s credit. Moreover, Ji Ruo was only in the Qi Meridian Realm now, so the benefits of eating these things were much greater than those of the Ancient Star Continent. In a sense, being weak was equivalent to having a high upper limit.
“Thank you, teacher.” Ji Ruo did not refuse.
He was also greedy.
Suddenly-
The ground beneath Ji Ruo’s feet started to move, and the earth wall rose up, surrounding Ji Ruo and Gu Xing Zhou.
The Sacred Mountain Tree’s deep voice sounded, “”Little Ruo, you guys go ahead and eat. I’ll cook for you.”
Half of the earth-overturning dragon’s corpse had already disintegrated, and the appearance of the Sacred Mountain Tree had changed greatly.
Its body became even larger, and its roots spread along the earth veins to more than half of the Myriad Beast Mountain. Some pink gradually appeared in the veins of the twisted tree trunk. The divine tree of the mountain was evolving. At this moment, its life form was between the plant-type demon and the flesh-type demon.
The green leaves on his head were also gradually turning pink.
“Thank you, Grandpa Shenmu!” Ji Ruo said happily.”
He and Gu Xing Zhou left the ‘pot’ and the ground at the bottom of the pot split open under the control of the Sacred Mountain Tree, revealing the boiling lava below. This was volcanic cuisine!
In a daze, Liang Shixian felt the pain quickly subside, and then an indescribable warmth wrapped around him.
Was this death?
He thought to himself.
What a warm feeling. If this was the ending, it didn’t seem too bad…
He sighed.
Liang Shixian suddenly heard a strange sound. “Little rabbit, be good Open the door
“Meow Meow Meow
“Chirp Chirp Chirp
Liang Shixian was a little confused. How could he still hear Ji Ruo’s children’s song when he was already dead…No!
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
“Ya! Class monitor, you’re awake!” Ji Ruo came over in surprise.” I thought you were going to sleep a little longer. Quick, we haven’t finished our hotpot yet. Class monitor, you made it!””
“I, I didn’t die?”
“What do you mean by dead or not?” Liang Shixian was speechless.
Ji Ruo’s face was serious.”
Bah!”
Ji Ruo smiled.
Liang Shixian subconsciously touched the place where he had been pierced. Other than the tear on his clothes, his skin was smooth to the touch. Where was the wound?
He suddenly froze and looked down at his hands.
It grew back?
Other than her skin looking a little pink and fair, there didn’t seem to be any changes?
“My wounds, my, Done?”
“Ahem.” “Liang Shixian, congratulations on surviving the disaster,” Gu Xingzhou suddenly said.”But there’s something I want to…”
“Teacher, let me do the talking.”Ji Ruo smiled awkwardly and said seriously to Liang Shixian, “Class monitor, I have two pieces of good news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?” Liang Shixian was speechless.
He was a little confused.
“Wait for me to think it through…Normally, shouldn’t it be good news and bad news? What do you mean by two pieces of good news?”
“That’s not wrong.” Ji Ruo nodded.”
Liang Shixian pursed his lips.”
“The good news is that I’ve already checked you. Of the two feathers that penetrated your body, one passed between your liver and gallbladder, while the other removed your appendix.” Ji Ruo smiled. Class monitor, you’re truly treating each other with all your heart! Class monitor, you can show off with this when you go back.”
Liang Shixian subconsciously looked down at his abdomen and was silent for a moment.
“What about my appendix?”
Ji Ruo clapped his hands.” This is another piece of good news. Grandpa Shanshen Mu gave us a few Life Fruits just now. I fed you one and your injuries recovered quickly…” The good news was that there were two appendages in the class monitor’s stomach! Are you happy?
Liang Shixian:
What was there to be happy about!
He was originally quite happy to know that he was not dead.
Although he had completed his responsibility, who would want to die if he could live?
However, Ji Ruo’s sudden act had made his emotions a little incoherent…
Two appendixes…
While Liang Shixian was feeling depressed, Ji Ruo suddenly took out a large piece of eggshell with a smile on his face. The piece contained the feast that Ji Ruo had carefully prepared for Liang Shixian. It was the best part of all kinds of four-star demon beasts. Even the spirit herbs and fruits used as ingredients were plucked from the Sacred Mountain Wood.
Ji Ruo didn’t know when Liang Shixian would wake up, and Aunt Jinglan’s family’s appetite was too big. Ji Ruo was afraid that Liang Shixian wouldn’t be able to eat, so she prepared it in advance.
After all, Liang Shixian had saved Ji Ruo 1.3 times in this martial examination.. He didn’t manage to save her last time, so it didn’t count.
“Here, class monitor, eat quickly. They’re all good things. I specially saved them for you.”
“Ji Ruo…” Liang Shixian hesitated.
He still had a wild appendix in his stomach. Could he eat it?
Gu Xing Zhou seemed to have noticed Liang Shixian’s hesitation. He coughed dryly and said, “Liang Shixian, eat. I’ve checked your body. There won’t be any problems. Your appendix…After he went back, he would go to the hospital for surgery to take it out.”
“Alright then.”
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, the sky had already turned bright.
Unlike the Myriad Beast Mountain of the past, the sun and moon of the Myriad Beast Mountain had been refined by the demons on the top of the mountain using some kind of secret treasure. Although there was a distinction between day and night, there was no sun or moon rising into the sky.
Now that those guys were dead, the sun and moon were no longer restrained, and the morning sun shone brightly.
Ji Ruo looked at the sky and knew that it was time for him to leave.
“Grandpa Shenmu, Auntie Jinglan, and Da Bao and Er Bao, it’s about time. We have to go back.”
“Chirp -(Master, where are you going?) “Da Bao asked blankly.
Qiu Xingqiao also said,”Chirp Master, Master, aren’t you going to play with us?”)
Ji Ruo smiled and rubbed Da Bao’s head.””Of course, I’m going home. Master hasn’t been home for a few days. Look, Master’s clothes are tattered.” Da Bao and Er Bao Bao were a little disappointed.
“Chirp -(Then Master, will you still come and play with us in the future?)
“Of course, you guys are my disciples!”
Aunt Jing Lan said,”Chirp -(Little Ruo, come and play often when you have time. You are always welcome here.)”)
“Don’t forget our agreement.”
At this moment, the Divine Mountain Tree had completely refined the
Earth-overturning Dragon’s corpse and controlled the entire Myriad Beast Mountain’s earth veins. Its roots spread throughout the entire Myriad Beast Mountain and quickly combed through the earth veins.
It had fused into the Myriad Beast Mountain’s secret realm and became the living symbol of the entire secret realm’s earth vein. Its realm had risen, and it was only a Star Tribulation away from reaching the five-star level.
The green leaves on the tree turned into pink cherry blossoms. They were both plant demons and flesh demons.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Mountain God Mu. I won’t forget it.”
Ji Ruo picked up Luo Qian and placed her on top of his head. Together with Liang Shixian, they smiled and said goodbye to all the demons.
Gu Xing Zhou didn’t interrupt. The smile on Ji Ruo’s face made him slightly dazed.
The pure happiness that came from the bottom of his heart made Gu Xing Zhou sigh. To be able to get along so well with the demon race, the legendary pure heart of a child was probably only so much, right?
He knew very well that Ji Ruo’s future was limitless.
As he thought about this, Gu Xing Zhou suddenly laughed.
“Child, I hope you can continue to be happy like this.”He thought to himself. Suddenly, Ji Ruo took off his watch and said, “Before we leave, let’s take a photo together.”
The young man asked the Mountain God Tree to extend its branches, held up his watch, and pulled Gu Xingzhou and Liang Shixian to his side. He let Aunt Jinglan and her family stand behind him, bringing the huge Mountain God Tree and the seemingly endless tree demons into the shooting range. He showed a pair of scissors hands and a bright smile appeared on his face.
“Everyone, say it together, eggplant
“Rustle
“Chirp
“Meow
The Sacred Mountain Tree shook its crown, and its pink leaves rustled as if it was waving goodbye.
Countless pink cherry blossoms fell on the snow that had not completely melted on the mountaintop.
Cherry blossoms fell on the snow and ice all over the mountain.
Kacha.
The image was frozen by his watch. Ji Ruo took back his watch, turned around, and waved his hand.”Then, goodbye, everyone!”
The exam was over!
Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian’s bodies were suddenly swallowed by a blood-red vortex and left the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm.
“Chirp
Aunt Jing Lan’s family was quite reluctant to part with her.
The tree demons on the mountain rubbed the leaves. The rustling sounds were filled with sadness.
The first volume, Martial Examination (crossed out), Spring Outing, finished!
