Facing the transaction proposed by Moon Laurel Fairy Tea, Zhu Ziyang immediately agreed on behalf of Jiang Nannan. This was because, from any perspective, this transaction was a sure win for Jiang Nannan.
"That's great!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, delighted, "Then it's happily decided! When you are able to absorb a 100,000-Year Soul Beast's spirit ring, be sure to come find Cha Cha!"
"Okay! I understand!" Jiang Nannan gradually accepted the impact of this matter and said with a smile.
"Alright, you can now choose an Immortal Herb, Cha Cha will help you pick it, and then you can leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, in a good mood, "I'm afraid if you stay too long, you might be noticed by others."
"Can we discuss it?" Jiang Nannan looked at Zhu Ziyang, and seeing him give her a wink, she immediately understood and said.
"No problem, but you only have three minutes!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said.
"Brother, do you have any requests?" Jiang Nannan immediately turned around, moved closer to Zhu Ziyang, and asked.
"I do have some ideas, but I want to hear Nannan's opinion first." Zhu Ziyang showed a thoughtful expression, then looked at Jiang Nannan, the girl's face flushed, which was due to excitement.
"My opinion?" The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this, then lowered her head, deep in thought. A few seconds later, she looked up at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Brother, how about we both say the Immortal Herb we want at the same time, and then compare them in detail?"
"No problem." Zhu Ziyang smiled slightly and agreed.
The two looked at each other, gazing into each other's eyes, then spoke at the same time:
"Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower!" × 2
Upon realizing they had the same idea, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan both couldn't help but smile knowingly. Zhu Ziyang instinctively put his arm around the girl's waist and softly said, "Nannan, we truly have a telepathic connection!"
"Hehehe~" The girl giggled, feeling Zhu Ziyang's warm embrace, but her beautiful eyes held a different thought. Jiang Nannan understood that Zhu Ziyang chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower for Ma Xiaotao; this was one of their purposes in finding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. And her choice of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower was also for Ma Xiaotao.
The girl had her own considerations. She had witnessed Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao's ambiguous relationship and, despite her reluctance, she couldn't say much. After all, Ma Xiaotao's Spirit defect was well-known, and she couldn't stop Zhu Ziyang from suppressing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire; doing so would put her in the wrong.
Therefore, she chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower. She was very clear that the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower could completely cure Ma Xiaotao's Spirit defect. As long as Ma Xiaotao used the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower and resolved her Spirit defect, then she would no longer be able to use the excuse of suppressing evil fire to entice her Ziyang-ge. At the same time, she could leave a more perfect impression on her Ziyang-ge. Thus, killing two birds with one stone!
Although the girl was well protected by Zhu Ziyang, she was not a naive and innocent sweet girl. She had always been working hard to improve herself, whether in cultivation realm or in cunning intelligence.
However, Jiang Nannan's idea was excellent, but it could not contend with the unpredictable twists of fate.
"Have you decided which Immortal Herb to choose?" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea immediately asked when she saw Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan turn around.
"Yes, Cha Cha, we want a Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower." Jiang Nannan said with a smile.
"Oh my, you really know how to choose!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea exclaimed in surprise when she heard Jiang Nannan's words, "To choose Kui Kui, who is the furthest from Cha Cha, is really troublesome!"
"What? Can't we choose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower?" Jiang Nannan's heart sank a little when she heard this, and she said.
"It's not that you can't, it's just a bit troublesome." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea swayed her branches and said, "How about this, stretch out your hand."
"Why?" Jiang Nannan asked, looking puzzled.
"Oh, just stretch it out! Cha Cha won't hurt you!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea's flower swayed, her voice filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction, as she said.
Jiang Nannan had no choice but to comply, stretching out a hand towards Moon Laurel Fairy Tea. Seeing this, Moon Laurel Fairy Tea actually extended a branch directly, controlling it to land on Jiang Nannan's hand. Jiang Nannan, somewhat bewildered, looked at Moon Laurel Fairy Tea with confusion.
"Here, this flower of Cha Cha's was meant for you anyway. Pick it off, and then you can go pick Kui Kui." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, her voice tinged with reluctance and a slight tremor, "Be gentle, okay? Cha Cha is very afraid of pain."
Jiang Nannan couldn't help but show a gentle smile and softly said, "Thank you, Cha Cha. I will be very careful."
As the girl spoke, she held Moon Laurel Fairy Tea's branch, and her other hand slowly reached towards the leafy flower on the branch, her eyes filled with gentle affection, yet her movements were as swift as lightning. With a "smack," she plucked Moon Laurel Fairy Tea's flower.
"Ah~ It hurts!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea couldn't help but let out a wail, her voice filled with indignation, "How could you trick Cha Cha? You said you'd be gentle, but you were so rough!"
"Hehe, short pain is better than long pain, right? If I move quickly, you'll only hurt for a little while." Jiang Nannan explained with a smile, "If I moved slowly, I might not have been able to pluck this flower in one go, and then wouldn't you have been in pain the whole time?"
"That does seem to be the case." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea felt that what Jiang Nannan said was very true, completely oblivious to the smile in Zhu Ziyang's eyes. It said, "Alright, with Cha Cha's flower in your hand, you won't be discovered by others when you go to pick Kui Kui. Oh, and you can only pick the small flowers around Kui Kui. The largest flower is Kui Kui's main body; if you touch it, you'll wake Kui Kui, and then both of you will be in big trouble."
"Small flowers?" Jiang Nannan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard this, and she asked, "Do the small flowers of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower have the same medicinal properties as its main body?"
"Of course not!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, "Kui Kui's main body is a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, while her sub-plants are just ordinary Immortal Herbs. How could they be the same?"
"Then can the sub-plants of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower solve Ma Xiaotao's Spirit defect?" Jiang Nannan hesitated, muttering to herself.
"You don't need to worry." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea seemed to have seen through Jiang Nannan's concerns and said, "Our Immortal Herb sub-plants are still Immortal Herbs. The reason sub-plants are born is entirely because our main body's life level has evolved. In actual terms, the sub-plants are the true Immortal Herbs, and we are the Immortal Herb Spirit Beasts."
"Is that so?" Jiang Nannan's doubts in her heart lessened a bit, but she still hesitated.
"I guess you chose Kui Kui to solve someone's Spirit defect, right?" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, "Ten thousand years ago, Kui Kui's predecessor was used by that person to solve someone's Spirit defect. At that time, Kui Kui's medicinal power was similar to her sub-plants, and even inferior to some of her current sub-plants. You can truly rest assured."
"Alright then, I trust you." Jiang Nannan finally relaxed and walked towards the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower located by the Yang Spring.
After Jiang Nannan left, Zhu Ziyang watched her actions nervously. Every time she passed an Immortal Herb, Zhu Ziyang's heart would tense up, fearing that these Immortal Herbs would suddenly attack Jiang Nannan.
"Oh, don't worry! That girl has my flower, so she won't be attacked." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea saw Zhu Ziyang's concern and immediately reassured him.
"I hope so." Zhu Ziyang said with a threatening tone, "If Nannan is really attacked, then you all will be buried with her."
As he spoke, he even demonstratively released some Power of Death. Moon Laurel Fairy Tea felt the Power of Death on Zhu Ziyang's body and instinctively trembled, then stubbornly said, "Just you? We can summon the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls!"
"Ice and Fire Dragon Souls?" Zhu Zi Yang immediately remembered another purpose of his search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and a playful smile appeared on his face as he said, "What is that?"
"Hmph hmph! Those are the remnant souls of two Dragon Kings, hundreds of times stronger than all of us Immortal Herbs combined!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea exaggerated greatly, her tone very proud, completely unaware that her words made Zhu Ziyang's eyes gradually brighten.
"How is that possible? How could there be the Dragon Souls of two Dragon Kings in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Zhu Ziyang questioned.
"Hmph hmph! You're ignorant, aren't you? The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed into such a treasure land precisely because the remains of the two Dragon Kings, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, fell here!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea said, "Do you see those two springs? The remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are at the bottom of the springs!"
"So that's how it is!" Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood, "I see, thank you, Cha Cha!"
"Hehe, good that you know, just don't have any bad intentions again!" she said haughtily. The naive Moon Laurel Fairy Tea was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation; cunning humans always hide daggers in their smiles.
"Of course!" Zhu Ziyang nodded and replied, silently adding in his heart, 'Not now, but next time, it might not be the case!'
