Chapter 41 Shocking! The original male protagonist makes a dazzling appearance...
"What are you all standing there for? Let's go dig some dirt!" Lan Yue looked at the group of people next to her who had suddenly stopped, and was a little puzzled.
Li Bai shuddered, fearing that his abnormality would be discovered and that the immortal artifact would secretly record it, leaving him with no one to blame but himself.
He quickly picked up a shovel and started digging in the soil, wielding it with great effort.
The spirit plant beside it was incredibly curious. It finally stopped keeping its face down, blinked, glanced at the pit, swung its little legs over, and curiously stepped into the pit.
Finding the pit quite nice and perfect for itself, it simply jumped in, burying itself completely inside, feeling happy and peaceful.
Li Bai: "..."
He stared at the pit and the seedling of the spiritual plant, feeling somewhat speechless.
But Li Bai didn't dare say anything more, afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would break the little guy's heart and make him cry even more until he was bald, which would be a sin.
He quietly moved to the other side of the land and dug very quickly this time, wanting to finish as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when they were halfway through digging, the rootless fruit tree sapling next to them blinked its bright eyes and came looking for them. It looked at its old, rough hole, then at the much larger hole, and immediately stomped on the old hole in disgust. It quickly moved to a new spot and lay down very peacefully.
Li Bai: "???"
So this little spiritual plant is treating itself like a laborer, huh?
Could it be that this little guy is holding a grudge? Is he still fussing about being called bald?
But he really spoke without thinking, hurting the young spirit of this plant.
Li Bai could only swallow her grievances.
It's just a pit, right? Take it all, have it all!
When Li Bai dug out a bigger, wider, and prettier pit, the rootless fruit tree saplings over there lit up and quickly ran over, swinging their short little legs.
Li Bai swiftly grabbed its branch, and the rootless fruit tree sapling dangled in the air, looking utterly innocent.
"I'm dying of laughter! Senior Brother, look how destined you two are! Why don't you take it back and raise it?" Lan Yue stood by, holding a small shovel, laughing uncontrollably.
However, despite her sincere advice, both the person and the spirit plant turned their heads away, as if they disliked each other.
"You live in my cave, and you still look down on me?" Li Bai was rather displeased to see the other party's disdain.
Rootless fruit tree seedling: "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
Angry (jpg)
The little seedling even stomped hard on the hole in the ground beneath it a few times, and then jumped out with a squeak.
If it were in human form now, it would probably spit out a curse.
Li Bai's heart was shattered. He felt that there was no love left in him, and even a small spiritual plant was disgusted with him!
He was about to speak when Lan Yue stopped him in time: "Wait a minute before you speak. If it starts crying sadly, all the leaves on its head will fall off! After they fall off, it will probably cry itself to death, and then our Nanling Sect will lose a spiritual plant that has developed intelligence!"
Li Bai swallowed back all the words he was about to say. He looked at the spirit plant that was proudly hanging on Lan Yue and felt utterly exhausted.
Is his status now at its lowest? Even a spiritual plant dares to bully him, how outrageous!
When it grows up, won't it be riding on my neck and pooping?
Just thinking about this scene sent chills down Li Bai's spine.
"Forget it, what can I do? I'm the senior disciple of Spirit Sword Peak. I'm one with the sect. The sect's loss is my loss. For the sake of the sect, I'll let it go."
Seeing Li Bai's helpless expression, the rootless fruit tree sapling opposite them even happily swung its branches like a swing.
Everyone: "..."
Li Bai: Whatever makes you happy.
"By the way, Yuan Shuo, are you feeling better? You look quite well, have you recovered?" Li Bai decided not to argue with the little spiritual plant, and turned to ask the silent boy in black beside him.
Yuan Shuo was stunned for a long time before he realized that the person was talking to him. He glanced at Lan Yue and then nodded.
But after nodding, he stopped talking and silently swung his small shovel, digging a hole.
Li Bai: So aloof.
It seems the atmosphere of Lingyue Peak still depends on him! So this is the difficult responsibility of the senior brother!
"Yunxi, how's that spirit sword you got from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? Master said it's incredibly powerful and can improve with your cultivation level." Li Bai turned to talk to Yunxi beside him, feeling utterly worried about her.
Yunxi was also taken aback. Unlike Yuanshuo, she didn't remain silent. At least she gave him some face and replied with two sentences: "Yuxi is with the sect leader. He said he wants to decorate it properly so that I won't lose face when I take it out."
Yunxi always refers to herself as the sect leader in front of outsiders. After all, she hasn't seen him for so many years. After enduring more than ten years of hardship, she is still somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly learning that she actually has a biological father.
"Your ancient sword is called Yuxi, which is a rather nice name." Li Bai appeared to be admiring it on the surface, but in reality, he was crying his eyes out inside.
Is this really the generosity of the sect leader? Since he felt this ancient sword wasn't presentable enough, he went and decorated it himself!
The minerals that can be compatible with the ancient sword must be extremely rare materials, which are beyond the reach of ordinary disciples like them.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi smiled. She did indeed like the name, and from the moment she received the ancient sword, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
She finally understood why Lan Yue was in such a hurry when she decided to choose another spirit sword.
So this is the difference between the natal spirit sword and other spirit swords, which is why Yunxi has always been very grateful to the other party.
As the group dug the pit, Li Bai would occasionally speak up, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, showing that his efforts were somewhat effective.
Yuan Shuo, standing nearby, was engrossed in his work, completely undisturbed by the outside world.
Looking at the earnest boy, Lan Yue felt a little guilty. Elder Yuan must have brought his nephew here to recover from his injuries, but she had people watering the ground for half a day yesterday, and now she even brought people to dig the ground!
That's really not fair!
"Why don't you rest for a while, we can dig it up." Lan Yue said softly. She finally had a change of heart and felt that she shouldn't keep being a capitalist. At least she should offer some words of comfort to the people involved.
However, Yuan Shuo thought that Lan Yue didn't like him and felt that she wanted to exclude him, so he took a few steps back and dug even more diligently. Before long, a beautiful pit had been formed.
Yuan Shuo looked over with bright, sparkling eyes.
Lan Yue felt a pang of pain in her heart, looking at the state of the child she had ruined.
However, Yuan Shuo insisted, and she had no choice but to accept it helplessly.
Lan Yue sighed inwardly and skillfully opened the system. She wasn't being lazy; she was thinking about her cultivation. Using the Three Realms Gossip System to eat melons could also increase her cultivation!
[Lan Yue: Wow, what am I seeing? The male lead has actually appeared! It's been so long since the female lead appeared, and now the male lead has finally shown up! This is their first meeting!]
The male lead has appeared? Where is he?
As soon as this thought came out, even Li Bai and Yuan Shuo looked around curiously.
Yunxi, standing to the side, was somewhat bewildered. Wasn't this supposed to be their first meeting? Why hadn't she, the female lead, even met anyone?
