Vol. 1 - Chapter 9 - As Long as You Like It
The family of three spent a blissful morning feeding each other.
After eating the porridge, Luo Ruying felt that she was much better and
had regained her strength.
She told Ning Yechen that she would like to take a walk.
Since this was going to be their home from now on, she had to ensure
that the place was secluded and safe enough.
Also, she wanted to check out the back of the mountain, where Ning
Yechen had claimed to have found the heavenly plants and herbs, and see
if it was true for herself.
She was curious and suspicious about how such rare heavenly plants and
herbs could grew in the Mortal Realm.
Luo Ruying had already recovered. Since she wanted to take a walk, Ning
Yechen was happy to oblige.
After the three of them left the wooden house, Luo Ruying scrutinized
the surroundings.
The wooden house was located in the vast forest and surrounded by
mountains. When she looked up, she could see towering mountains around
them. It was a very secluded place.
The only disadvantage was that it was isolated from the outside world.
There was no sign of other humans, and there were no towns or cities
nearby.
Luo Ruying felt it was all right.
If she could spend the rest of her life living peacefully here, it would
not be bad.
"Dear, let me show you the back of the mountain." Ning Yechen reached
out his hand to Luo Ruying.
Luo Ruying hesitated slightly before she placed her hand in Ning
Yechen's. She carried Luo Hongye with her other hand.
Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying's slender hand and walked leisurely to the
back of the mountain.
At the back of the mountain, there was an unusual scene.
With two trees as the border, the vegetation between them was lush and
abundant. At a glance, she could see numerous heavenly plants and herbs
giving off a soft glow.
Outside these trees, the vegetation was no different from those found in
an ordinary forest.
Luo Ruying was surprised by the huge difference between them. It was the
same forest, but they looked completely different!
Ning Yechen smiled. He held Luo Ruying's hand and crossed the boundary
marked by the two trees.
After crossing the boundary, Luo Ruying could sense herself crossing an
invisible barrier.
Inside the barrier, there were tens of thousands of heavenly plants and
herbs everywhere. Small flecks of spiritual energy filled the air,
looking as dazzling as stars. The place was full of an astonishing
amount of spiritual energy!
It felt as though she was cleansed by the spiritual energy and bathing
in it!
Luo Ruying opened her beautiful eyes in shock.
The density of the place's spiritual energy could compare to that of the
Heavenly Realm!
It was no wonder that all these rare heavenly plants and herbs could
flourish here!
It was inconceivable! It made no sense for a place like this to exist in
the Mortal Realm.
After the initial shock passed, Luo Ruying fell into deep thought.
From the moment she crossed the barrier, she felt that an elder must
have set up a formation here and used spiritual energy to grow these
heavenly plants and herbs!
The formation had been set up to seal and gather spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy could only enter the barrier but not leave. As for
humans and animals, they were free to enter and exit.
To be able to arrange such a large formation to gather spiritual energy,
this person must have a high cultivation!
Strangely, the other party had only arranged the spiritual energy
gathering formation without any defensive formations. This person did
not take any precautions whatsoever!
Isn't that elder worried that the medicinal garden he carefully planted
will get ruined by people and monster beasts? Luo Ruying found it
puzzling. Which elder would come to the Mortal Realm to do this?
"I wasn't lying, right? I told you I got those herbs here," Ning Yechen
said proudly to Luo Ruying.
He had transplanted numerous heavenly plants and herbs and planted
countless seeds. He had spent over a century to make this medicinal
garden flourish to this extent on the mountain.
Luo Ruying nodded.
She finally believed Ning Yechen's words.
She did not expect to find a medicinal farm containing heavenly plants
and herbs on the back of the mountain.
He was lucky to discover the work of an elder.
Luo Ruying curiously examined the plants with surprise on her face.
Even in the Heavenly Realm, many of the herbs here were hard to come by!
"Thousand-year-old blood ginseng, ice cicada heavenly grass, drunken
flower...
"Gosh, there's even a seven-colored glass flower!"
Luo Ruying walked up to a colorful flower, looking amazed.
The flower had seven colors, and its petals gave off a glass-like
luster. The color seemed to flow like water on the petals, looking
gorgeous.
Seven-colored glass flowers were able to cleanse the body and marrow and
lay a good foundation for the user. Consumption would ensure that the
user's cultivation would rise in leaps and bounds. It could also help
cultivators who had reached bottlenecks easily make breakthroughs!
Even in the Heavenly Realm, many immortal sects would look for
seven-colored glass flower petals for their progeny and disciples!
However, there was a complete one right in front of her!
Luo Ruying looked at the cute and well-behaved Luo Hongye in her arms
and reached her hand out to take the seven-colored glass flower, but she
pulled it back at the last moment.
Even though she really wanted Luo Hongye to take it, she could not do
it.
An elder had carefully planted the seven-colored glass flower. If she
took it without asking, it would offend the elder.
Just as Luo Ruying was hesitating, Ning Yechen reached his hand out to
pick the seven-colored glass flower.
He held the seven-colored glass flower in front of Luo Ruying. "Dear,
this is for you."
"You... you... How could you pluck the flower?" Luo Ruying asked in
shock.
This was a seven-colored glass flower. After plucking it, it would only
survive for three days. In three days, it would wither and disappear!
Even with the roots intact, who knew how long it would take for the
seven-colored glass flower to grow back.
This was bad. They were done for.
In contrast to Luo Ruying's anxiety, Ning Yechen was smiling calmly.
"Don't you want the flower?"
"Yes, I do. But..." Luo Ruying did not know what to say to Ning Yechen
for a moment.
He was a mere mortal, so he understandably did not know the flower's
value.
Moreover, he had plucked it for her.
If anyone was to blame, it was her for not stopping him in time.
"As long as you like it, that's enough." Ning Yechen held the
seven-colored glass flower in front of Luo Ruying once more.
Compared to making his wife happy and their child's future, he didn't
care about a mere seven-colored glass flower.
Luo Ruying sighed softly. She took the seven-colored glass flower and
placed it in Luo Hongye's mouth.
Since the seven-colored glass flower had already been plucked, there was
no turning back.
If it was not taken now, it would go to a complete waste.
If the elder came back, she would use some heavenly treasures to make up
for it.
Luo Hongye ate the seven-colored glass flower, and a bright
seven-colored light radiated from her. Moments later, her skin became
silky and unblemished!
This was just the initial effects of taking the flower. Its effects
would slowly continue throughout her body, changing her meridians and
physique!
After eating the flower, Luo Hongye stuck her tongue and pouted
aggrievedly. "Daddy, Mommy, this doesn't taste good."
Luo Ruying did not know what to say after hearing Luo Hongye's words.
In the Heavenly Realm, countless people dreamed about obtaining a
seven-colored glass flower...
But the girl did not like the taste.
