Jiang He could not help shuddering at the sweet and anxious voice beside his ear.
He promptly opened his eyes, withdrawing the flames around his body to find that the vast room was filled with white steam. Sora was standing behind Jiang He, her face flushed and her sexy maid costume drenched in sweat and steam.
"Get out!"
It was too hot here.
The flames around his body had risen when he awakened, and in seconds, almost evaporated all the water in the swimming pool, filling the room with steam.
Sora left.
Jiang He opened the window, and with a gust of True Qi, he sent the True Qi in the room out the window.
Sensing his own condition, he noticed that a scarlet flame had appeared beside the ocean of swords in his mind.
With a thought …
Whoosh.
A streak of flame darted out of his fingertip.
"Fire-type superpower?"
"Still, it doesn't feel that powerful, and could barely handle a rank-six martial artist … probably B-class pinnacle." Jiang He had a general understanding of his fire-type superpower after feeling it out.
It was very weak.
There was no telling how many miles it was weaker than the luminous sword.
Still, Jiang He was very happy.
"Fire-type superpowers are great. It would be much more convenient for me to start a fire out in the wild!"
Of course.
Fire-type superpowers did not only have the ability to start a fire.
It could also keep warm when the weather was cold.
Washing clothes could also be quickly dried. Of course, this could be done with his Nine Yang True Qi …
"Actually, it's quite convenient to grill meat with fire-type superpowers. Still, barbecued meat in the wild is a state of mind, and using fire-type superpowers would be better than buying ready-made meat!"
Jiang He went to his bedroom and changed his clothes.
He went downstairs and picked up his phone from the dining table.
It was fortunate that he had left it on the dining table when he ate, or it would have been reduced to ashes along with his clothes.
Unlocking the screen, Jiang He found two WeChat video call requests and three missed calls, all from Duan Tianhe.
He was about to call back when Duan Tianhe called again.
Answering the call, Jiang He could not help chuckling when he heard that Duan Tianhe was asking about the willow tree on Mount Helan. "Pudgy Jiang, you found that tree too? There's no need to be afraid. That tree is very gentle. It even gave me a few willow branches and half a bucket of Vitality Serum. "
"By the way, Director Duan, I think that since the Essence of Vegetation has a spirit, it's a living life. That big willow tree can't move and won't hurt people. Why don't we spare its life?"
Pausing, Jiang He then added, "The main thing is that I think the willow tree's Origin Fluid is delicious, so I could keep it and get more whenever I want."
On the other end of the call, Duan Tianhe was silent for a long time before smiling. "I understand. Don't worry, Jiang He, I'll send someone to protect your willow tree."
"…"
Jiang He was a little speechless as he listened to the beeping beside his ears.
What does that mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean by 'your big willow tree'?
He made it sound like he was a tyrant. That willow tree grew freely in the Helan Mountains. How did it become his?
"But I still have to give Old Duan a thumbs up. His plan of sending people to protect the willow tree is pretty good …"
Jiang He quietly gave Duan Tianhe a thumbs up.
He knew very well that 'protect' was just an excuse. The willow tree was so powerful that Chen Jingzhou would have a fifty-fifty chance of defeating it even if he came personally, and the people Duan Tianhe sent were not even enough to take down one of the willow tree's branches …
Even so, it was good to watch from afar.
"I forgot to tell Old Duan to have his subordinates be smart, and to notify me as soon as possible if they notice anyone trying to cut down my willow tree …"
"Bleh, bleh!"
"What do you mean my willow tree?"
"It belongs to nature, alright?"
Arriving at the yard, Jiang He took out three willow branches from his System Backpack.
The 'generous' willow tree had given them to him of its own accord. Each branch was around the thickness of a thumb and had long, narrow leaves that resembled swords.
The willow branches contained concentrated lifeforce, and Jiang He found that they were extremely tough when he tried to pull them. He could not break them even after exerting around forty thousand catties of strength.
In the end, it was an item from a rank-nine floral spirit, and one of the crystalline green radiance that the willow tree had nurtured. How could it be broken so easily?
"If I could use this willow branch as a whip …"
Jiang He pictured the scene in his mind.
pia!
If the whip lashed down, someone would probably die.
He could not help shuddering. Glancing at Dumbo, the dog understood and was about to pick up a shovel to dig a hole when something unexpected happened …
Whoosh!
A gust of black wind suddenly blew through the garden, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Even as it stood on its hind legs, Dumbo used its paw to cover its eyes to avoid being blinded by the dust, but when it lowered its paw, it cursed, "What the hell, I'm dripping a shovel?" (Xibei dialect: Tieshovel = shovel)
His pair of doggy eyes were wide open.
The shovel …
The gust of wind that had been standing in a corner … was gone?
Dumbo turned to find that the black panther had stood on its hind legs, its paws clinging to the shovel as if fawning over its master while it dug.
After digging a few times with the shovel, the black panther threw it away and started digging with its paws instead, perhaps finding it unskilled.
Jiang He was speechless.
Were there only a bunch of cats, dogs, leopards, and the like acting cute in front of him every day?
It was already past nine in the evening.
In the dark yard, Jiang He redeemed three composite fertilizers and buried three willow branches in the soil.
Willow trees were extremely resilient in the first place, and as long as it was planted properly, even a finger-length willow branch could grow into a sapling. Even so, Jiang He was a little surprised …
Out of the three willow twigs, only one of them survived.
That single willow branch soon sprouted and grew into a two-meter-tall willow tree. It was only then that its growth slowed down.
Spreading his spirit, Jiang He felt it out and found that the two-meter-tall tree contained profound vigor as well … in fact, there seemed to be an exuberant green light flickering within its trunk, and it would soon develop sentience.
Only then would the willow tree be known as a floral spirit, and possess the ability to guard a home.
… …
Meanwhile.
At the Martial Arts Department (MAD) headquarters in Jingdu City. Jiang He's information was placed on the desk of a man who appeared to be in his thirties.
He could not help chuckling after reading through Jiang He's information. "The kid is quite interesting … Old Zhou, go to Xibei and meet the kid. I've just ascended in cultivation and would like to discuss something with the five Holy Grounds, and he might be useful."
"Minister Wang!"
The middle-aged man who was addressed as' Old Zhou 'twitched and quickly said, "Minister Wang, the five Holy Grounds have a long history and a profound foundation. Now is not the time to fall out with them …"
Minister Wang laughed out loud and said meaningfully, "Old Zhou, look at how ugly your words are …"
"In the end, the five Holy Grounds are factions of the Hua Nation with countless elites. Many alien races are eyeing Earth covetously, and we would have to rely on the five Holy Grounds in the future. I'm only going to visit them, so why would I dare to fall out with them?"
The corner of Old Zhou's mouth twitched.
You're right!
I would have believed it if I didn't overhear your conversation with 'Chief Commander Li' this morning, where you mentioned things like 'nuclear strike' and 'blowing up their ancestors'!
