Chapter 924 - 511: The Temptation of the Beauty Fruit (Double - )

So this matter is extremely strange, clearly each girl is drinking on her own, yet everyone’s understanding of alcohol is different.

If you ask Miss Lu, she would say alcohol tastes good because it actually tastes bad.

If you ask the girl in yellow, she would say she doesn’t like drinking.

If you ask Ah Qing, Ah Qing would smile; she can’t really say she likes it, it’s just that after coming to Flower Moon Building, she’s gotten used to it. Rather than saying she likes alcohol, it’s more accurate to say she likes this kind of ordinary girl’s life, one she has never experienced before, at Flower Moon Building.

And if you ask Yun Qian, she would say she really loves drinking, because what she drinks is not wine, it’s joy, it’s her husband’s breath, it’s a quarter of an hour.

Just like Xu Chang’an drinks not because he enjoys drinking, but because he needs the courage that alcohol provides.

It seems that amongst the girls who often drink, none of them actually like it for the taste of the alcohol, yet they insist on liking it.

Only Shi Qingjun purely drinks for the sake of drinking, who should be able to savor the taste the most, is instead the most muddled one... It can only be said that alcohol is indeed very magical.

"Ah Bai, you’re right... but that’s how alcohol is, if it lacks feelings, it really doesn’t have much taste," Zhu Pingniang said, suddenly remembering something.

Eh?

Did she forget something?

Beauty Fruit?

And what about the Beauty Fruit!

She likes the Beauty Fruit so much, that even Qinling once said that Zhu Pingniang’s willingness to taste the Beauty Fruit planted by Xu Chang’an is a reason she regards him as one of her own, or something like that.

Because of the special nature of the Beauty Fruit, not only does it contain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but more importantly, during the cultivation process, the taster can feel the emotions of the grower when cultivating the Beauty Fruit.

The Beauty Fruit is very rare, its characteristics determine that the flavor of the fruit born from different Spiritual Qi grooming methods varies, but ultimately, the emotions it contains are the essence of the Beauty Fruit.

So, when Zhu Pingniang is willing to eat the Beauty Fruit he grew, willing to feel his mood... of course, she sees him as one of her own.

And the reason why Qinling says her carefully cultivated Beauty Fruit is not liked by Zhu Pingniang... isn’t it because when Zhu Pingniang eats the fruit Qinling gives her, she can feel Qinling’s affection for her with every bite...

How can Zhu Pingniang face her elder daughter?

But Xu Chang’an is different.

Zhu Pingniang just remembered that she’s eaten so many dishes made by Chang’an, but the main event, the Beauty Fruit, hasn’t been served yet.

"Ah Bai, since both you and I aren’t there, Chang’an... shouldn’t eat all those fruits at this time." Zhu Pingniang swallowed.

She’s very curious about the taste of the fruit planted by this ’mysterious person’ Xu Chang’an.

You know, what she cultivates is emotion.

Maybe, the things contained in Chang’an’s fruit could greatly enhance her cultivation.

"Fruit? What fruit, what are you talking about?" Li Zhibai did not understand, pointing to the table full of dishes: "You rolled all these over here, isn’t that enough to eat?"

"No, I’m talking about the Beauty Fruit, didn’t Chang’an bring down the Beauty Fruit he planted this time? I really want to taste its flavor." Zhu Pingniang spoke rapidly: "Given the secrets on Chang’an, there must be extraordinary things in there."

"What extraordinary things could there be?" Li Zhibai said, subsequently lowering her eyes.

Beauty Fruit?

She has always remembered.

The Sect Leader asked her from the start to go to Xu Chang’an and request some Beauty Fruits to send over, and now... have they finally matured?

But why does the Sect Leader want to eat this Beauty Fruit?

Li Zhibai has never paid attention to such things that can’t be used in medicine.

"Probably something extraordinary? After all, there are so many secrets on Chang’an." Zhu Pingniang waved her fist: "Besides, even if there’s no secret, Chang’an’s talent for cultivation is excellent, that bunch of women at Hundred Herbs Garden have been eyeing her all along... Just the taste must be something I’ve never tasted before."

"Then..." Li Zhibai held her wine glass, and asked: "Go back and eat now?"

"Seems like there’s no rush either." Zhu Pingniang blinked.

Right now, having drinks with Ah Bai seems most important?

Thinking this, a sudden huge sense of guilt surged up in Zhu Pingniang’s heart.

She... she actually hesitated!

At the prospect of the Beauty Fruit Chang’an planted with his own hands, she actually, for a moment, wanted to abandon the drink with Ah Bai and rush back to eat the fruit.

How could she think like this.

Clearly, Ah Bai is more important.

Clearly...

Zhu Pingniang thought, and suddenly felt she is really a mean woman, earlier when Li Zhibai was ignoring her, she couldn’t wait to give her entire heart to her.

But here Li Zhibai just indulges her a bit, and she’s already getting smug, not cherishing it.

"No... no rush." Zhu Pingniang said with difficulty, forcing a smile: "The seeds I gave to Chang’an, the ones I asked him to plant, even if Yun Qian wants to eat, he would definitely leave some for me... wouldn’t he?"

"That’s right." Li Zhibai nodded, not only would Xu Chang’an leave some for her, but also for herself as the teacher.

Or rather, if they aren’t there, Xu Chang’an wouldn’t even serve dessert.

That’s why Li Zhibai doesn’t understand why Zhu Pingniang is in such a hurry for a few fruits, is it necessary?

"Don’t you trust him?" Li Zhibai asked.

"No... it’s just, I really want to taste this Beauty Fruit he cultivated for the first time." Zhu Pingniang twisted her fingers together, eventually, it was the guilt in her heart that overwhelmed her.

First, have drinks with Ah Bai, then go back for the dessert.

"Ah Bai, try this wine, and then, after a while, let’s return to the banquet." Zhu Pingniang coughed: "The girls’ performance will also start, you should check out their skills... just in time, maybe your old acquaintance is performing on stage."

Seeing Zhu Pingniang write ’want to go back and eat fruit’ all over her face, Li Zhibai sighed gently: "Where would an old acquaintance of mine be performing on your stage."

Zhu Pingniang thought she had misspoken in her haste, it’s not an old acquaintance, but the one who succeeds them.

"Doesn’t matter, as long as you understand." Zhu Pingniang said.

"..." Li Zhibai gently rubbed her brow with her fingers.

She just doesn’t understand.

Oh well, it was just a misunderstanding about some matters regarding the Sect Leader.

"Tong Jun."

Raising her hand to pour Zhu Pingniang a cup of wine, Li Zhibai asked: "What’s so special about this Beauty Fruit that you like it so much? I haven’t heard you mention it before."

"Why would I discuss this with you." Zhu Pingniang shook her head.

Li Zhibai really doesn’t have a good impression of the Hehuan Sect, and this thing she found from the Hehuan Sect back in the day, she naturally wouldn’t chat about it with her.

Except for when she gave a lot to the Sect Leader, just to determine its essence.

Zhu Pingniang explained: "After the Beauty Fruit is cultivated, it can’t boost cultivation, the taste is average, the process of channeling spiritual qi for growth is extremely cumbersome, the only noteworthy thing is its beauty-enhancing effects for mortal women... but the girls on Muyu Peak naturally maintain their looks, so they don’t need this."

It’s quite useless.

"But you know how it is with the Hehuan Sect’s cultivation technique, they like those kinds of things." Zhu Pingniang pursed her lips.

She can taste the emotions of the person who cultivated the fruit within the fruit, and the unique Spiritual Power circuit of the Beauty Fruit ensures that the more passionate the emotions of the cultivator while channeling spiritual qi, the better the taste of the fruit.

After explaining this characteristic to Li Zhibai, Zhu Pingniang continued: "So Ah Bai, you understand why I want to taste it, right... for a remnant of the Hehuan Sect like me... this thing is an absolute treasure."

Of course, mainly because it was planted by Xu Chang’an, perhaps it has some mysterious effects — like ascending in daylight, something.

Stop dreaming.

"In any case, I really like it."

"Hmm, I understand."

Li Zhibai thought she understood why Zhu Pingniang liked the Beauty Fruit, and at the same time... also somewhat understood why the Sect Leader would be interested in the Beauty Fruit.

She knows the Sect Leader is gradually losing emotion in cultivation, so... the Beauty Fruit holds significant meaning for Shi Qingjun, who once lost emotions.

Hmm.

Must reserve a few for the Sect Leader.
