Elijah's eyes lit up as he saw the spirit plant. Then, with a pained expression, he stepped forward, first taking out a few Tier 1 corpse cores and burying them in the pot.
He then switched to Bella's solidified Tier 2 healing ability and began to heal the spirit plant.
As the healing ability took effect, the previously drooping leaf gradually perked up, and the glowing specks around it became denser.
Seeing this, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief.
He carefully examined the spirit plant and realized that he had never seen it before and had no idea about its effects.
He turned to Abigail, who was standing there like a child who had done something wrong, still covering her mouth and chewing.
"Is it tasty?" he asked.
"Um..." Abigail nodded, then shook her head.
"Is it tasty or not?" Elijah wondered aloud, realizing that wasn't the point. "How did you find this spirit plant? Why didn't you tell me before eating it?"
Abigail finally finished chewing and let out a sigh, lowering her hands. "This grass tried to jump out of my mouth," she mumbled.
Elijah was baffled. Abigail, seeing his displeased expression, explained, "Just now, I felt a strange vibration, and the other zombies noticed it too.
I controlled them and came over immediately.
Then I saw this grass dancing. When it saw me, it tried to run, so I grabbed it. But I accidentally yanked it out..."
"And then you ate it?" Elijah asked.
Abigail nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes!" Continue reading on m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
Elijah sighed, shaking his head. "Well, what's done is done. At least we managed to save it."
He couldn't be too harsh on Abigail since spirit plants had an inexplicable attraction to zombies, and she couldn't resist eating it. "Can you still sense any strange vibrations from this spirit plant?"
"No," Abigail replied, shaking her head.
Elijah pondered this. It seemed the spirit plant had reached a certain stage of growth before displaying those characteristics.
Now that it had been revived, it would need time to grow again before showing such traits.
Elijah, having abstained for two days, could no longer hold back and immediately embraced Lillian.
Lillian softly moaned but didn't resist.
She whispered into Elijah's ear, "Elijah, I want you to promise me that if I become your woman, you will treat Nora like your own daughter."
"Of course!" Elijah responded firmly, then added something that made Lillian laugh. "But I've never been a father or had a daughter, so I don't really know how to treat a child."
Lillian laughed and felt completely at ease. "It's okay, I'll teach you!" She smiled seductively at Elijah and lifted her nightgown.
Instantly, her breathtaking, alluring body was revealed.
Lillian was wearing a set of purple, semi-transparent lingerie that made her porcelain-like skin look even more delicate and radiant.
Elijah's desire surged, and he immediately became assertive.
...
That night, Elijah experienced long-missed fullness and satisfaction. The saying "taste and savor" truly applied, leaving him reluctant to part.
If it weren't for Lillian's worry that Nora might wake up and be scared if she couldn't find her, they would have continued their intimate time.
Even so, Lillian was a bit weak when she left, needing to drink plenty of water before returning to her room. Elijah also fell into a deep, contented sleep.
...
Elijah didn't know how much time had passed, but half-awake, he felt something crawling on him. Sometimes it was near his mouth, other times on his chest.
It was warm and comfortable.
When the thing crawled down to his lower abdomen, Elijah wondered if Lillian had returned.
But as the clumsy movements began to hurt him, Elijah suddenly woke up. No, it wasn't Lillian!
He quickly opened his eyes and saw a woman in cosplay attire leaning over the bed, curiously examining something.
"Abigail? What are you doing here?"
Elijah exclaimed and then broke out in a cold sweat immediately upon seeing what she was holding in her hands.
"Master, you're awake!" Abigail pouted, then continued, "I just wanted to cheer you up. Can you forgive me for eating the spirit plants?"
