Chapter 4053 Blooming
In a continuous dense forest.
A girl was half-crouching, looking intently at a bush in front of her.
The shrub is more than two feet high. There is not a single leaf on the earth-grey branches. It is full of large and small black spikes, shining with a metallic luster. It is hard to recognize at first glance. Among the dense thorns, there are three taels hidden. There are small flower buds, the buds are dark green, translucent and moist, like jade beads.
Overall, it looks a bit uncoordinated.
"Sometimes it's hard for me to imagine how you ended up on it, Xiang'er."
The girl shook her head unconsciously, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, "Generally, companion vines would not choose this kind of host, right? I myself find it ugly and troublesome, with so many thorns."
The branch in her hand trembled slightly, "It hasn't bloomed yet or matured. You'll know later."
The girl seemed thoughtful, "Are you sure it will bloom today?"
"I have followed Su Hexiang for tens of thousands of years, so I naturally know."
Xiang'er smiled and nodded, and said with emotion, "This is all due to your careful care, master. You have been caring for me day and night for hundreds of years. No one else can do it."
The girl said matter-of-factly, "These are my people, how can we not be careful?"
She was suddenly startled, "Xiang'er, I seem to smell a little fragrance!"
Xiang'er shook, "I've sensed it too. You have to keep your eyes open. The flowering and maturation process of Styrax only takes ten breaths. If you miss it, you won't be able to see it."
One person and one vine stared closely at the bush, not daring to blink again.
After a few breaths, the small flower bone cracked a crack, and then bloomed. The folded pure white petals unfolded piece by piece, from small to large, completely revealing its beauty. At the same time, The indescribable fragrance slowly spreads, light and hazy, clear and elegant, and there is a layer of strange mist in the air, enveloping everything around you into a dream woven by the fragrance of flowers, making you happy.
Before I could see its full picture clearly, the fully opened petals quickly merged into the mist.
The green mist turned into drizzle and fell on the shrubs bit by bit. The original gray branches and black spikes slowly changed their color and appearance in the drizzle.
However, after a few breaths, the originally unattractive bush took on a completely different look.
Every branch and every piece of bark has become crystal clear, full of vitality and vitality, as if it were a work of art carved from the best jasper, with extra life injected into it.
The delicate fragrance that originally permeated everywhere was completely absorbed by the shrub. No matter how far or near, everyone could feel it. The charm brought by that unique fragrance was difficult to describe in words.
"Have you finished reading it?"
Xiang'er shook the branches and leaves, and said proudly, "Master, this is the real Styrax. She was in an immature state before, but this is not yet a complete body. She will grow up and gain spiritual wisdom. No, Like other Wood tribes, they still need opportunities and resources. As long as the mature Su Hexiang grows to a certain level, he will definitely gain spiritual wisdom and become a real Wood tribe. Isn't it very powerful?"
"I was dumbfounded."
The girl retracted the wings that she had automatically opened due to surprise, shook her head slightly, and said with self-deprecation and pride, "I know that our Su Hexiang family grew up like this, but knowing is far inferior to seeing it with our own eyes. Now I understand why Su Hexiang grew up." It has disappeared, who wouldn’t want to own such a treasure?”
"Yes."
Xiang'er's pride began to slowly disappear, "So most Su Hexiang will not survive the time when they become the Wood Clan. At their most beautiful moment, that is, during the period after they mature, they will be used by practitioners and other Kill the race, turn its body into a magic weapon, or even a work of art just for viewing... Alas, being too beautiful is a bad thing. It might be better if it keeps its original appearance until it has strength and then changes."
The girl was still very calm, as if she had seen through and said indifferently, "But that's not Su Hexiang. Our clan is so stubborn."
Xiang'er hesitated slightly, "That's right."
The girl looked at the palm of her hand and said, "Xiang'er, don't you consider being a companion on it? If you grow up with her, it might be better for you, right?"
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Xiang'er shook the branch dissatisfied and slapped the girl twice, "Once the companion vine chooses a host, they will not be separated until death. I am committed to you, master. As for her, you don't have to worry, nothing here will hurt her. She is so outstanding, there will definitely be creatures begging her to allow her to accompany her, and it may be a good story by then. The environment here is better than any newborn styrax."
"The rest of the way is for her to walk by herself."
The girl Xiao Su stood up with a smile and flapped her wings a few times, "It's time for us to go, Xiang'er."
Xiang'er said in surprise, "The flowers have just finished blooming. Are you leaving now?"
Xiao Su frowned, "I've been here for hundreds of years, what's there to miss? Are you still reluctant to let it go?"
"No, Master."
Xiang'er thought for a while and said, "I thought we had to stay a little longer. After waiting for hundreds of years, it's finally time to harvest, shouldn't we enjoy it a little longer?"
"This is not enjoyment, and now is not the time to be satisfied."
Xiao Su shook her head, "I have done everything I can do for her. I have spent too much time on this. Now I want to do something for myself and this family."
"Home?"
Xiang'er thought of something and hesitated slightly, "Master, have you already..."
"Isn't it clear yet? With my tribe here, it is naturally my home. I won't waste time looking for it anymore," Xiao Su said with a smile, "What do you think I'm talking about?"
Xiang'er nodded the leaves and said, "I understand. In other words, the master plans to make Xianshu City his home."
"That's not a bad thing to say."
Xiao Su nodded slightly and frowned, "But I always feel that you have other intentions."
"I didn't mean anything else."
Xiang'er shook the branches and leaves, "Master, what are we going to do? Your Excellency seems to have gone to the fairyland..."
Xiao Su said flatly, "If you don't go to him, we will go to the devil world."
Xiang'er thought of something, "Devil world? Master is going to seek revenge on Hishan?"
"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Su shook his head with an indifferent expression, "I have no grudges or grudges against Hishan, so why go to him to seek revenge? I went to the Demon Realm because I felt that the Demon Realm might be our Xianshu City. The biggest enemy I will face is that it is best to know their situation as soon as possible. Besides, I also need to practice my magic power, and the devil world is the best choice."
Xiang'er hesitated and said, "Go alone? Or should we wait for the adults to come back? I'm a little worried."
Xiao Su chuckled, "Isn't there still you? Are you scared?"
"Me? I will go wherever the master goes," Xiang'er hesitated, "I'm afraid that he won't trust you."
Xiao Su was stunned for a while and then said, "Don't think about him for everything. He is too busy to do anything himself. What I can do, I have to do it myself. This has always been the case before."
