Chapter 72 The Angry Little Fur Ball
But as she dug, she suddenly felt something was off; the soil in this direction seemed to smell a bit.
Can soil smell bad?
Lan Yue suddenly thought of a possibility, and her face turned green.
Just as she was about to leave, she sensed something unusual in her spiritual senses, as if she had detected something.
Lan Yue was incredibly excited. So this kind of opportunity that came from going out to train was actually happening to her?
Moreover, according to her spiritual sense, the thing buried in the ground seemed to be human-shaped.
Could this be some kind of top-grade ginseng, a thousand-year-old spiritual plant, that's why it looks so human?
It doesn't matter, since it's already in her hands, she won't complain about any rare or precious materials!
Even a minor character can have her day; she misunderstood the original story!
Once Lan Yue had a target in mind, she quickly dug towards that spot, already deciding in her mind what level of jade box to prepare for the ginseng.
However, when she actually saw the object, Lan Yue fell silent.
This isn't ginseng at all! It's not even a spiritual plant, it's a person!
Moreover, it was a man holding a shovel, already unconscious, and even smelled terrible, as if he was covered in feces.
Okay, as expected, there is a difference between the cannon fodder and the female lead. The female lead picked up the young master of the demon realm, while she was simply an unknown creature covered in poop.
However, she didn't feel any resentment; she just found it somewhat funny.
Lan Yue sighed, resignedly dragging the man out, intending to see it through to the end.
But why does this face look so familiar?
Forget it, let's go outside first and talk about it then.
Lan Yue found a stick in her spatial ring, then tied the person to the stick with a rope, and quietly moved him up a little while using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from a distance).
Feeling the tremors subside, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and jumped out.
Sure enough, the giant monster was no longer outside, but its other companions were nowhere to be seen. They had probably been too close to danger and had scattered and fled.
Lan Yue flung the stick in her hand away, intending to see who this man she had picked up was.
However, just as he lowered his head, he saw another person emerge from the mound of earth. This person was Yuan Shuo, dressed in black.
"You also use Earth Escape Technique?" Lan Yue was shocked. She remembered that Yuan Shuo's sword flying technique was not bad.
"I've been following you the whole time," Yuan Shuo said quietly.
Lan Yue: "Ah, I didn't even notice! Your concealment technique is truly amazing!"
Yuanshuo: "..."
He didn't use any concealment techniques; he just openly followed behind and watched as the person in front picked up someone without even calling out to them.
"By the way, since you're here too, come with me and see who this person is? Why did he faint in the ground?" It was Lan Yue's first time picking someone up, and she was a little excited.
If this person opens their eyes and learns that they were saved by him, will they immediately offer themselves to him?
That's how TV dramas always portray it, so the novels probably aren't much different, right?
Yuan Shuo was silent for a moment, then he took out a gourd, uncorked it, and poured it over the man on the ground.
It was a very small gourd, but when water was poured out, it flowed out as a rushing waterfall, soaking the man on the ground.
It was only after being washed by water that the person's dark face was fully exposed.
Looking at that face, both of them fell silent.
"Is this that Lawson?" Lan Yue recognized him instantly. After all, he was the minor villain who bullied the female lead in the early stages, and she had encountered him in Green Qi Mountain not long ago.
It should be said that the sect leader had encountered this with them.
So how did this guy end up buried in the ground? And why does it smell so bad?
Forget it, who cares?
The fact that this person wasn't crushed to death already shows how magnanimous the sect leader is.
"Did I do something wrong? Should I not have brought him out?" Lan Yue suddenly realized this and was startled.
Could it be that the sect leader personally pushed this person into the mound? If so, wouldn't she have made things worse?
"No, you saved someone, how could that be wrong?" Yuan Shuo shook his head.
"But…" Lan Yue was hesitating when several familiar figures flew over her head; they had been found by the others.
"Lan Yue, I've finally found you!" Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"We just ran away and reunited, only to find you two were missing. We were almost scared to death." Li Bai was also terrified.
For a moment, he thought the two people behind him had been swallowed by that giant monster, and he almost offered incense to Lan Yue.
"It's alright, it's alright. The situation was urgent, so I just used Earth Escape!" Lan Yue grinned.
"If I disappear in a similar emergency in the future, it's because I've used earth magic! We'll meet up again once it's safe!"
"Is earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) really that fun? Why don't you take me with you next time?" Wu Tianyu was itching to try it, thinking that earth-遁 might be a good method in case of danger in the future.
Lan Yue: "You want to try everything!"
Wu Tianyu: "You can use earth magic, but you won't let others try it?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yunxi and her twin sisters pulled them apart.
Lan Yue then noticed that Yun Xi had several bunches of bright red fruit in her hand.
This fruit is so fragrant and sweet, it makes my mouth water.
"Lan Yue, one of these bunches is for you. I flew down to a tree on my sword and saw these fruits." Yun Xi took Lan Yue's hand, handed her a bunch, and fed her two fruits as well.
Lan Yue ate the juicy fruit and was in a great mood.
As expected, Nü'e is the best; she always knows to give her the fruit as soon as it's picked.
After eating about half of it, Lan Yue suddenly felt something was wrong.
How come the spiritual energy within her has increased?
This fruit is strange; it seems to be a special spiritual fruit!
"Chirp chirp!" The little furball standing on Yunxi's back was almost furious.
These are the fruits he led his savior to find! There were only two bunches in total!
He was thinking of giving Yunxi one skewer and keeping one for himself to heal his injuries, but the other skewer ended up in Lan Yue's hands! And she ate so much of it! So much!
The little yellow fluffy ball of fur was so angry that it spat out a tiny spark.
Lan Yue noticed that something was wrong with the little furball and suddenly remembered that Yun Xi had also come to Green Qi Mountain for training in the original story and encountered many special spiritual fruits.
In the original story, the female lead left a portion of it for the little furball so that the male lead could recover from his wounds more quickly.
The bunch of fruit in her hand should be the miraculous Red Jade Fruit, which can replenish qi and blood and even improve one's physical attributes.
Thinking of this, Lan Yue almost choked.
So the male lead's treatment has become this low now?
Lan Yue almost died laughing. In the original novel, the male lead was so arrogant, always arguing with everyone and everything, but he ended up getting the short end of the stick with her.
What is this called? This is called karma!
Since this spiritual fruit is so valuable, Lan Yue felt embarrassed to continue eating it and planned to return it and explain its effects to the female lead.
"I know," Yunxi blinked.
"I know this is Red Jade Fruit. I've heard it's quite effective. Lan Yue, you must eat a few more. If you're not full, there are more here." Yun Xi shook the string of spiritual fruits in her hand again.
In Yunxi's eyes, Lanyue is still not proficient in flying on a sword. Although she is clever and always gossiping, she is actually a bit silly and needs more care.
So when Yunxi got the Red Jade Fruit, the first person she thought of was Lanyue.
Lan Yue fell silent.
However, she was indeed very grateful to the female lead, grateful that the other party thought of her first.
But why did she still feel something was off? Something felt off.
Lan Yue scratched her head and simply put it away.
This is a heartfelt gift from the woman! Let the male lead fend for himself!
After they finished talking, they realized that there was another person lying next to them. The person's eyelids were twitching, and it seemed that he would wake up soon.
