In a dense forest.
A young girl squatted and looked at the bushes in front of her intently.
The shrubs are more than two feet high, and there is not a single leaf on the earthy gray branches. They are full of large and small black spikes, shining with metal-like luster, and they are not good at first sight. Among the dense thorns, there are three or two hidden. The tiny flower bones are aquamarine green, shining and moist, like jade beads.
Looking at it as a whole, it is a bit uncoordinated.
"Sometimes it's hard for me to imagine how you are associated with it, Xiang'er."
The girl shook her head unconsciously, with a trace of puzzlement in her eyes, "Generally, companion vines don't choose this kind of host, right? I think it is ugly and troublesome, with so many thorns."
The branch in the palm of her hand trembled slightly, "It hasn't bloomed or matured. You'll know it later."
The girl seemed thoughtful, "Are you sure it will bloom today?"
"I have followed Su Hexiang for tens of thousands of years, so naturally I know."
Xiang'er smiled and nodded, and said with emotion, "It all depends on your master's careful care, and you have been taking care of it day and night for hundreds of years, and no one can do it if you change it."
The girl naturally said, "This is my clan, how can I do it without thinking?"
She suddenly shook, "Xiang'er, I seem to smell a little scent!"
Xiang'er shook, "I can feel it too. You have to keep your eyes open. The process of Su Hexiang's flowering and maturity is only ten breaths. If you miss it, you won't be able to see it."
One person, one vine, staring at the bushes, never daring to blink again.
After a few breaths, the small flower bone split a seam, and then bloomed. The pure white petals that fold together spread out one by one, from small to large, fully revealing its beauty. At the same time, The unspeakable scent slowly diffused, light and hazy, clear and elegant, with a layer of strange fog in the air, which caged everything around in the dream of floral fragrance and became happy.
Before it had time to see its full picture, the fully opened petals quickly melted into the fog.
The aquamarine mist turned into drizzle, and it fell on the bushes little by little. The original gray branches and black spikes slowly changed their color and appearance in the drizzle.
However, after a few breaths, the originally inconspicuous bush has completely changed into another look.
Every branch, every piece of bark, becomes crystal clear, full of vitality and vitality, as if the finest jasper-carved work of art is also infused with life.
The fragrance that was originally permeating everywhere was completely absorbed by the bush, and one could perceive it regardless of distance. The charm of that unique fragrance was hard to describe in words.
"Have you finished reading it?"
Xiang'er shook the branches and leaves, and said proudly, "Master, this is the real Su Hexiang. She was in an immature state before, but this is not a complete body. She will grow up and gain spiritual wisdom. Like other wooden tribes, opportunities and resources are needed. As long as the mature Su Hexiang grows to a certain level, she will inevitably gain spiritual wisdom and become a true wooden tribe. Very powerful, right?"
"I look silly."
The girl put away the wings that opened automatically because of her surprise, and shook her head lightly. She laughed and said with pride, "I know we Su Hexiang grew up like this, but knowing it is far better than seeing it with my own eyes. I now understand why Su Hexiang was born. Who doesn’t want to own such a treasure if it’s gone."
"Yes it is."
Xiang'er’s pride began to slowly disappear, “So most of Su Hexiang will not survive the time when they become Mu clan. At their most beautiful moment, that is, the time after maturity, they will be caught by practitioners and others. Killing the race, turning his body into a magic weapon, even an artwork only for viewing... Alas, too beautiful is a bad thing. If you keep the original appearance until you have the strength and then change, it may be good."
The girl was still very calm, as if she was indifferent after seeing through, "But then it's not Su Hexiang, our clan is just that stubborn."
Xianger stopped slightly, "That's right."
The girl stared at her hand, "Xiang'er, don't you consider the companion on it? If you grow up with her, it might be better for you, right?"
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Xianger shook the branch dissatisfiedly and beat the girl twice, "Once the companion vine chooses the host, it will not separate until death. I will decide you, Master, as for her, don’t worry, there is nothing here that will hurt her. She is so outstanding, there will definitely be creatures who beg her and allow her to accompany her. It may be a good story at that time. The environment here is better than any new born Su Hexiang."
"It's the rest of the way, she will walk by herself."
Girl Xiao Su stood up with a smile, flapped her wings a few times, "We should go now, Xiang'er."
Xiang'er said in surprise, "I just finished blooming, are you leaving now?"
Xiao Su frowned, "I've been here for hundreds of years, so what is there to miss, don't you have to make it?"
"No, master."
Xiang'er thought for a while and said, "I thought we had to stay for a while. After waiting for hundreds of years to finally reach the harvest, shouldn't we enjoy it for a while?"
"This is not enjoyment, and now is not the time to be satisfied."
Xiao Su shook his head, "I can do everything for her, UU reading , I have done it. I have spent too much time on this, and now I have to do something for myself for this family."
"Home?"
Xiang'er thought of something, she was slightly stagnant, "Could it be that master, you already..."
"Isn't it clear? There are people here, so naturally it is 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 bit a little leaf, "I understand, that is to say, the master intends to treat Xianshu City as a home."
"That's not bad."
Xiao Su nodded slightly and frowned, "But I always think you have other meanings in it."
"I don't mean anything else."
Xianger shook the branches and leaves, "Master, what are we going to do? My lord seems to have gone to the fairy world..."
Xiao Su said flatly, "Don't find him, let's go to the Demon Realm."
What did Xiang'er think of, "Devil Realm? Is the master going to seek revenge from Xishan?"
"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Su shook his head, with a calm expression, "I have nothing to do with Xishan nor complain, what revenge can I go to him? I went to the Demon Realm because I think the Demon Realm may be our Xianshu City For the biggest enemy I will face, it’s best to know their situation early. Besides, I also need to practice magic power. The Demon World is the best choice."
Xiang'er hesitated, "Go alone? Or wait for the adults to come back? I feel a little worried."
Xiao Su chuckled, "Isn't there still you? Are you scared?"
"Me? Wherever the master is, I will go," Xianger stagnated, "I'm afraid he won't worry about you."
Xiao Su was stunned for a while before saying, "Don't think of him about everything. He is too busy to do it. If I can do it, I have to do it myself. It was the same before."
