2525 How Dare You Do This?
Based on the information that the Spirit Mother had, he knew just how much Bu Po and his sister loved each other.
He had called Bu Po here for a showdown.
However, now that Bu Po had brought his sister with him, the Spirit Mother felt as though Bu Po also intended to have a showdown.
How dare he do such a thing? Was there someone supporting him?
If he did not have someone supporting him, he would not be brave enough to take the risk of bringing his sister here.
Regardless, he was the Spirit Mother of the Spirit Mother Federation. It was time to have a good talk with Bu Po, the only person to pa.s.s the Spirit Mother’s nine tests!
The most common sights in the desert were insect- and cactus-species plants.
Just one of the elephant cacti’s leaves would be able to multiply quickly in the sand. Within three to five years, it would grow into a giant plant of up to 20 to 30 meters tall!
The elephant cactus had a very similar taste to carrots but lacked the carrots’ refres.h.i.+ng taste. Instead, it had a very sticky texture.
Although its taste was not pleasant, it could still fill one’s stomach.

The elephant cactus was a staple in the diets of the regular people living in the Spirit Mother Federation while sauces made from insects were their garnishes.
During festive holidays, families composed of normal people would kill and eat a camel to celebrate.
The families of better social standing would be able to consume the elephant cacti’s fruits daily.
The elephant cactus’ fruits were sweet but expensive.
Given that only mature elephant cacti produced fruits, the insects that their fruits attracted were good pigments for tattoos when they were ground up. Thus, many of the elephant cacti’s fruits were used to nurture insects meant to be turned into tattoo pigments.
For families with better social standing, eating the fruit once was an extremely luxurious act.
There was no way that the feast of fruits that the Spirit Mother referred to included something like the elephant cactus’ fruits.
The Spirit Mother wanted to see just what was up Bu Po’s sleeve!
…
Bu Po and his sister had been holding hands and standing by the door all this time. Bu Po could clearly sense that the personal attendants who had gone in to give the report had changed their att.i.tude. They were now much more respectful towards Bu Po.
Bu Po immediately realized the attendants’ att.i.tude had changed because theSpirit Mother had a more favorable opinion of him. Otherwise, the personal attendants, who adjusted their att.i.tudes toward people according to their social status, would never have treated him in such a way.
“Lord Bu, the Spirit Mother wants to hold a feast of fruits to receive you. You should consider it an honor to receive such a gift!”
Bu Po did not say anything and led his sister into the room.
He did not care about the honor or this gift.
If the Spirit Mother was honoring him by just putting on a banquet of fruits, then what would Lin Yuan’s treatment of him be considered?
If Bu Po was the same person he was before he joined the Astronomical Parliament and gained his growth, he might believe that the Spirit Mother was genuinely being kind to him and wanted to live up to the responsibility of being a teacher.
But Bu Po had grown.
If the Spirit Mother truly acknowledged his talent, he would have started nurturing him long ago rather than allowing him to be discriminated against and bullied by the other reserve disciples.
In the past, Bu Po had only ever been in the Spirit Mother’s study. This was the first time that he was in the Spirit Mother’s bedchamber.
This paradise-like s.p.a.ce was only being used as a sleeping area for the Spirit Mother!
Ads by PubFuture Bu Po’s mind was blown.
His sister seemed to have fallen under some spell and was dazedly looking around.
She was very cautious of this s.p.a.ce she could not have dreamed of in her wildest fantasies. She even started moving the same side of her arms and legs when she walked.
However, Bu Po soon shook his head. No matter how impressive the Spirit Mother was, he was no match for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan seemed to have the all-seeing eye of a deity and was supporting Bu Po while toying with the Spirit Mother.
In the past, whenever Bu Po met with the Spirit Mother, they would be separated by a curtain. This did not change even during the Spirit Mother’s nine tests.
It could be said that this was the first time that Bu Po was seeing the Spirit Mother’s real appearance.
Bu Po fearlessly walked up and bowed to the Spirit Mother before greeting him.
The Spirit Mother could not sense even the slightest of respect from his greeting.
Suddenly, a beautiful smile spread across the Spirit Mother’s face. He grabbed a fruit that Bu Po had never seen before and tossed it to him.
“It looks like you don’t feel any respect for me as your master! Regardless, we are still technically master and student. So let’s sit and have a chat!”
After addressing Bu Po, the Spirit Mother turned and smiled at his sister. He gestured at her to do as she pleased and not be held back by etiquette.
At that moment, Mountain Ridge Source’s calm voice echoed in Bu Po’s ear. “Go ahead and eat. These fruits aren’t poisonous. But don’t eat them too quickly. They contain spirit qi, which you need. If you eat too much of it, the spirit qi will run wild in your body and scatter!”
Bu Po picked out from the plate the same fruit that the Spirit Mother had tossed to him and gave to his sister, saying, “Sister, eat this in small bites. This fruit is good for you!”
Bu Po pulled out a chair for his sister to sit on before he sat down himself.
The Spirit Mother looked shocked.
The fruit he had tossed to Bu Po was called the Spirit Stimulating Fruit, which he had personally cultivated.
Why did Bu Po act as though he was familiar with this type of fruit?
The Spirit Mother gave Bu Po this fruit because he wanted to trip Bu Po up. This would give him the leverage to control the negotiation.
The Spirit Mother already found it ludicrous that a young boy was trying to come up with schemes. Yet, this young boy did not fall for his trap.
Just as the Spirit Mother was about to continue testing Bu Po, the latter asked calmly, “Lord Spirit Mother, did you ask to see me because you want to teach me something? I’m here now!”
The Spirit Mother’s eyes flashed, and he fixed them on Bu Po’s eyes.
“Little Po, in every way that counts, I am your teacher. You can’t escape from this fact. Why else would a teacher look for his student? It can only be to teach him. Are you willing to give me this chance?”
Bu Po chuckled, and his laughter was filled with the innocence and vigor of youth. However, his gaze did not falter at all.
“I’ve waited for so long for you to finally be willing to teach me. It’s my privilege! Thank you for showering me with your love! But I would like to ask, if I do give you this chance, what will you be able to teach me?”
Bu Po had steadily parried the Spirit Mother’s test move.
