Chapter 1707: Tasted Of Nothing
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
As the thick and pure aura emanated from the spirit fruit, the fruity scent was so strong that it had to stop itself from pouncing on the fruit and taking a bite, hence, its saliva was drooling and dripping down three feet below.
At this moment in time, it didn’t care that it was the only one who hadn’t advanced and was no longer feeling down about it. At this moment in time, all it wanted to do was taste the fruit and see what it tasted like. Ever since Master had moved the tree into s.p.a.ce, it had its eye on it. It had watered the tree and waited for the fruit to turn from green to red. It didn’t realise the fruit had ripened during this period of time when it hadn’t paid much attention to it.
It was just like human beings as they watched their little daughter in law grow up and finally it was ready to take a mouthful. As it looked at the bright red colour of the fruit, it swallowed its saliva and opened its mouth as it moved forward. It grabbed one of the fruits with its horse’s mouth and pulled it off the tree.
Today, no one could stop it from eating the fruit!
“Crack!”
“Mmm! So sweet! So fragrant! What a strong spirit fruit flavour!” As soon as it bit the fruit, the rich flavour of the fruit burst into its mouth with the sound of the crack. As if it was afraid that the fragrance would be lost, it closed its mouth quickly.
As Feng Jiu caught up to it from a distance, she saw Old White standing under the bottle tree with its back facing her. The horse’s head was slightly lowered and she could see its mouth chewing and she glared at him immediately: “How dare you Old White! I have clearly instructed that the fruit from this tree cannot be eaten, have you not heard a word I have said?”
Upon hearing the voice behind it, though frightened, Old White chewed faster and unexpectedly swallowed the pit of the fruit. It could feel that the pit of the fruit was stuck in its throat, unable to move up or down and it couldn’t breathe.
“Neigh! Neigh neigh neigh!”
Old White had lowered its head and tried to spit the pit out. However, the pit was stuck and it couldn’t help but knelt down on its hooves and neighed in distress.
Feng Jiu was taken aback by what she saw and stepped forward quickly: “Look at you now, the result of stealing food to eat!” She placed one hand on its chin and supported its head while the other hand moved around its throat and pushed the pit out.
“Huh! I’m saved!”
Old White collapsed on the ground with its four hooves facing the sky. It looked at its Master and three little beasts around him and grinned: “Master, that fruit is so fragrant, very sweet and crisp, it was delicious!”
“What do you mean delicious!”
Feng Jiu slapped its head: “I only have five of those fruits and I don’t even know what kind of fruit it is, and yet you ate one just like that, are you just intent on ignoring my instructions?”
“Master, you can’t blame me. The fruit flew into my mouth, I’m telling the truth.” It glanced at her wildly and lowered its head not daring to look at her.
“This spirit fruit tree was guarded by a nest of snakes and you just ate the fruit. If something happens to you, don’t ask me for help.” She snorted and crossed her arms over her chest.
It wasn’t so much that she couldn’t bear to let it eat the fruit. It was just that she didn’t know what kind of fruit this spirit fruit was and what effect it has. Back then, the nest of snakes were protecting the tree vehemently and she hadn’t yet figured out what effect the fruit had. Now, it had just eaten the fruit so casually.
Since it had already eaten the fruit, it was useless to say any more. Therefore, she took a deep breath and said: “Hurry up, while you can still remember, tell me what did the fruit taste like, and after eating the fruit did you feel any difference or change in your body?”
When it heard that, Old White was stunned. Yes, it had eaten the fruit, but it only knew that the fruit was sweet, fragrant and crisp. Anything else no longer mattered!
