Jiang He reached out and grasped, drawing another Doom Shroom to him from the distance.
The Doom Shroom had quite a temper. It expanded upon contact with Jiang He's palm, its two tiny red eyes spitting fire as if it was about to expand.
Jiang He carefully sensed the energy ripples within and tried to guide and suppress it with his spirit, only for the expanding Doom Shroom to shrink.
"Interesting."
Jiang He smiled and stuffed the Doom Shroom into his System Backpack.
He did the same, bursting with his powerful spirit to suppress the Doom Shrooms and prevent them from exploding. Soon, he put every Doom Shroom in the mushroom shed into his System Backpack.
After that, he glanced at his System Backpack.
In the Backpack where the Doom Shroom was kept, a cartoon version of the Doom Shroom appeared, followed by the number 1380 * 1380.
"1380 Doom Shrooms … If I plant them properly, I could definitely grow a bunch of heavyweight weapons."
Satisfied, Jiang He turned to Zhou Xiaolan and asked, "Do you want to awaken?"
Zhou Xiaolan nodded, but then shook her head and quickly said, "Mister Jiang, I'm just pointing you in the right direction. I wouldn't dare to ask for too much."
Jiang He could not help laughing.
He had heard her conversation with Wang Jingwu before.
For most people, it would be too much to ask for such a thing after pointing him in the right direction.
But it was not worth mentioning to Jiang He.
He took out a tomato with a turn of his hand and handed it to Zhou Xiaolan, saying, "I've told you before that I'll reward you for pointing me in the right direction. Consider this tomato your reward."
Zhou Xiaolan did a double take.
She was a little disappointed.
She was a little girl who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and this was how he thanked her?
She was not asking for anything since Wang Jingwu had agreed to take her in as his personal disciple, and that was the greatest reward she had gained from leading the way.
Still, she should thank him, shouldn't she?
Once she remembered Wang Jingwu's instructions, Zhou Xiaolan knew that the tall, handsome and charismatic youth before her was not to be offended. Hence, she promptly accepted the tomato with both hands and forced a smile at Jiang He.
Were all important people this stingy?
Tomatoes …
Who cared about that!
I'll throw it away later!
Jiang He appeared to be able to read Zhou Xiaolan's mind, but his smile remained and he said, "Eat it."
Zhou Xiaolan: "…"
"Eat it."
Seeing that Jiang He was so determined, Zhou Xiaolan could only open her mouth and take a small bite of the tomato …
In her heart, she had originally rejected it.
But when he really took a bite …
Bang!
An explosive feeling spread in his mouth.
That feeling was too special and too stimulating. It was as if what she had swallowed wasn't a tomato, but a mouthful of flames. The feeling of the flames spreading in her mouth simply made Zhou Xiaolan unable to stop.
She ate the entire tomato in a few bites.
Wiping the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, Zhou Xiaolan's eyes lit up. "Mr. Jiang, your tomatoes … where did you buy them … Whoosh!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly spat out a flame.
In the next instant, Zhou Xiaolan let out a cry of surprise and fell to the ground.
She arched her body and clasped her hands in front of her abdomen. She cried out in panic, "So hot, so hot …"
Afterward …
Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Scorching flames rose from her body.
Zhou Xiaolan's clothes were instantly reduced to ashes.
Jiang He exhaled …
Whoosh …
After blowing away all the ashes that had covered Zhou Xiaolan's body, he carefully examined her body and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, these flames were awakened by herself, so they didn't burn her skin. In fact … they didn't even burn a single strand of hair."
"But this little girl has developed quite well. She's quite round."
The flames over Zhou Xiaolan's body were still burning.
Even her skin was turning bright red … and there was a certain unusual beauty about her.
Jiang He resisted the urge to take out his phone and take a few photos for his collection. After all, Zhou Xiaolan was naked at the moment, and if he took a photo with her permission, it would be considered artistic, but without her permission, it would be considered a candid photo, which was against the law.
Being a law-abiding citizen, Jiang He would never do something against the law like that.
Though Zhou Xiaolan had fainted, her awakening was still ongoing. As someone who had been there, Jiang He felt that …
Zhou Xiaolan, who was not even a martial artist, would need at least an hour to complete her awakening. After all, the Blazing Tomato was no ordinary item, and it was normal for it to take a long time to awaken since it was an A-class item.
After waiting for several minutes, Jiang He suddenly felt hungry.
It was already three in the morning, and he did not have supper today. How could he not be hungry?
Jiang He took out his grill grill and barbecued some of the Blue King Drake's meat, munching on sunflower seeds as he did so, occasionally taking a sip of rank-nine Origin Fluid to moisten his throat. Unwittingly, over an hour had passed.
Zhou Xiaolan, who was lying naked on the ground, finally completed her awakening and slowly opened her eyes.
She appeared a little lost.
Who am I?
Where am I?
I …
Soon, Zhou Xiaolan came to her senses and remembered what happened before she fainted. Her eyes widened in disbelief, she slowly extended her finger … Crack!
A strand of flame shot out from her fingertip.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Zhou Xiaolan leapt up from the ground, appearing very excited. Crying out in excitement, she promptly lunged at Jiang He and hugged him, crying, "Mister Jiang, I've awakened, I've awakened …"
Jiang He was still holding the skewer …
There was no helping it.
He could only circle his hand around Zhou Xiaolan's back and eat the Blue Wyrm King roasted meat on the skewer. Then, he tossed away the metal rod that was piercing through the skewer and freed a hand to push Zhou Xiaolan away. "Young Mistress Zhou, it's inappropriate for men and women to touch each other, please behave yourself."
What the heck?
Can't you see that your clothes are gone?
That pair of huge things are rubbing against my body. How am I supposed to eat grilled meat in peace?
Zhou Xiaolan yelped in surprise when she noticed her embarrassment.
Jiang He was rather speechless, and took out a tracksuit from his System Backpack and threw it at her, while Zhou Xiaolan grabbed it and ran around the corner to change. Jiang He was amused by the sight.
He had seen everything he should and shouldn't have seen, and …
Wouldn't it be enough for her to change clothes three times if she had the time to run around the corner?
What, are you going to show me how to run around naked?
Jiang He had just finished the last few skewers when Zhou Xiaolan returned after changing her clothes. He packed up the grill and barbecue tools, and with a gust of True Qi, he carried Zhou Xiaolan up into the air and flew towards Xi 'an City.
Up in the skies.
Zhou Xiaolan's face was still red.
She could feel the surging fire-type energy in her body, and naturally knew that the tomato Jiang He gave her was extraordinary. Still, she could not ask since Jiang He would not tell her, especially after that embarrassing scene just now …
In minutes, Jiang He had brought Zhou Xiaolan back to Xi 'an City.
Zhou Xiaolan did not follow Jiang He back to the dojo, and instead asked Jiang He to drop her off on the streets.
After leaving Zhou Xiaolan behind, Jiang He returned to the dojo, where Ji Dongxu said that he had prepared supper and invited Jiang He and Zhou Yu. "Grandmaster Ji," Zhou Yu said, "We'll go next time. Minister Wang is recuperating, and the Martial Arts Department (MAD) has a lot of work to do without me."
Zhou Yu did not dare to mention it because Jiang He was busy before, but he could not hold back now that Jiang He was done with his work, and could not wait to fly to Jingdu City.
Soon, a thunderbolt streaked through the night sky and rapidly headed towards Jingdu City.
…
Meanwhile.
Shennongjia.
A figure was taking to the skies by the lakeshore of the Dragoncroc Emperor's lair. He was wearing a black robe that even had a hood …
He wore a mask and was surrounded by a layer of black fog. The black fog hid his figure, making it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Whoosh.
The lakeshore parted, and the Dragoncroc Emperor floated to the surface, its dark-golden eyes scanning the black figure before it somberly said, "Please return, Saint. His Highness has said that he would not work with you."
A neutral yet hoarse voice spoke from beneath the black robes, laughing, "Dragoncroc Emperor, since the prince of your faction is unwilling to work with me … how about we work together?"
The Dragoncroc Emperor was about to refuse when an acoustical voice reached its ears, and it promptly sneered, "Why should I work with you? Your Sky Demon Cult has suffered terrible losses. What right do you have to work with me? "
"Do you think you would know the depth of the Sky Demon Cult?"
It was ironic.
Everyone in the Sky Demon Cult referred to themselves as cultists, and anyone who dared to call themselves a Sky Demon Cult in their face would get into a fight. On the other hand, the Saint, the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult referred to himself as a Sky Demon Cult without a hint of taboo.
What taboo?
The Sky Sage Cult?
What a joke.
It was just that those ignorant fools could not bear to see the outside world calling them disciples of the Heavenly Demon Cult and hearing the word 'demon', which was why they called themselves disciples of the Heavenly Demon Cult and even changed the Heavenly Demon Art to the Heavenly Saint Art.
The Demonic Pool was changed to Holy Pool.
Unbeknownst to them, the extraterrestrial Sky Demons were a race of Sky Demons in the first place and not some Sky Sage Clan. The cultivation method they passed down was the Sky Demon Arcanum, not the Sky Sage Arcanum. Even the name 'Sky Demon Cult' was set by their emissary.
A cold voice brimming with killing intent spoke from beneath the black robes, "Dragoncroc Emperor, let's work together to kill Jiang He. I'll gift you a superior-grade daemonic weapon after we're done."
There was a glint in the Dragoncroc Emperor's golden eyes then and it growled, "I'll work with you to kill Jiang He."
"But I have another condition … all spoils of war belong to me after Jiang He is dead!"
Laughter could be heard from beneath the black robes then. "As you wish."
