Chapter 182 Iron Simpleton: My Filial Piety Has Changed Its Nature
"Your Majesty, please look at this item."
Hailbo took out two Ginseng Fruits, and Bailuo laughed upon seeing them, "So this thing really exists."
The Ginseng Fruit from 'Journey to the West', something Bailuo had seen on TV shows since childhood.
Bailuo never imagined that one day, he would actually come across it.
"You already have legendary quality, so this is of no use to you."
One can break through legend and have almost infinite life.
The two abilities of the Ginseng Fruit were of no significance to Hailbo.
As such, all that was left was its deliciousness.
"I'll take one."
Bailuo said, "As for the remaining one, do as you wish with it. If you want to eat it, eat it; if you want to give it to someone, it's your decision."
"This!"
Hailbo exclaimed, "How could I do such a thing? It's far too precious!"
With legendary quality, it could almost trade for a whole city on the Miracle Mainland.
"The statue was the verbal reward, the Ginseng Fruit is the actual reward."
Bailuo said, "Treat it like gold and treasure, kid."
Patting Hailbo on the shoulder, Bailuo picked up a Ginseng Fruit and floated it in front of him, wrapped in Miracle Power.
"It does look quite cute."
In front of his own minister, Bailuo was very casual, "Does it change when it encounters gold, wood, water, fire, earth?"
"About that, your subject was about to explain," Hailbo said, "The King of Aolai asked me to convey the characteristics of this item; it must not come into contact with the five elemental substances."
"Hmm, I know."
Bailuo inspected the Ginseng Fruit carefully.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this fruit really smells delightful."
And truly, just the fragrance alone was probably more enticing than all the fruits one could pour out of a pocket combined.
No way around it, one is a mortal's crop, the other is an Immortal's fruit from mythic tales.
If one were to compare, the Ginseng Fruit was something not even Immortals could eat, possessed only by the most revered Greater Gods as a rare and exotic treasure.
"Your Majesty, this, this fruit..."
"I never jest; if I said I'm giving it to you, then it's yours! Do as you please!"
With a wave of his hand, Bailuo turned and left.
The remaining fruit, Bailuo planned to give to Iron Simpleton.
The girl was quite the glutton, and with such an unusual fruit, she would surely be delighted.
Of course, Bailuo was also aiming to improve Inya's potential.
Her potential was indeed strange.
Although her compatibility with the Avalon World was 150%, her progress in learning the Fighting Saint Method wasn't good, which felt like a deception of potential.
If the Ginseng Fruit could guarantee elevating someone's potential to legendary.
Should Inya consume it, as long as she broke through to a legend, even without attaining miracles, Simpleton could still gain eternal life.
In that case, Bailuo would also be at ease.
"This..."
Hailbo stood there, looking at the Ginseng Fruit in his hand, "Such a treasure, it feels useless for me to have it."
So whom should he give it to?
Eat it himself?
That's a joke!
Hailbo was not a glutton, and besides, how could anyone waste such a treasure just for the sake of their appetite?
"Right."
Hailbo found Cat Lulu, his potential was sufficient, but Cat Lulu was after all originally a cat, "Cat Lulu's soul is not complete, its potential and quality cannot compare with humans, it's a significant drawback."
To put it simply, the psychological age of fairies was very young, akin to that of children.
What's scarier is that this mindset could stay the same for ten years, or even decades, without much change.
Hailbo was terrified of the King of Aolai, but Cat Lulu just stood there foolishly like a little pet, and that was the reason.
Because Cat Lulu saw herself as Hailbo's little sidekick, an animal companion.
Just like the relationship between Kristin and her Immortal Hawk.
But this meant that Cat Lulu would no longer be able to grow stronger, she was doomed to be constrained within her current power, unable to break through.
"For, for me?"
Cat Lulu looked at the Ginseng Fruit Hailbo handed over, astonished, "Are you really giving this to me?"
"I initially didn't want it, but His Majesty still gave it to me."
"Out of everyone I know," Hailbo laughed, "It seems Lulu, you need it the most."
"We were on a mission together; my merits also include half of yours," Hailbo said, "Alright, don't be so formal with me, eat it quickly."
"This month, I've been under your care, Lulu."
Perhaps the Ginseng Fruit was extremely precious, but in Hailbo's eyes, it was just a fruit after all.
When compared to the companionship shared in adversity, the Ginseng Fruit wasn't much.
"Meow! Hailbo~~~"
Cat Lulu was moved, but before she could speak, Hailbo went on, "Also, we had an agreement, if you get stronger and we face danger, the two of us as legends, if we can't win, at least one can escape."
"Going on a mission should definitely be done in pairs; just me alone is too frightening, so next time, we go together as well," Hailbo laughed, "With you, at least I have a companion."
A companion?
What does he mean, someone to accompany me in death?
And one escapes while the other is left behind, is she Cat Lulu just bait?!
Ah!!!
Clutching the Ginseng Fruit, Cat Lulu was furious, "Give my sentimentality back, Hailbo you cad!!!"
Looking at the Ginseng Fruit again, it suddenly lost its appeal.
So, to eat or not to eat?
Cat Lulu thought, there's no cost to eating!
"Meow!"
Hailbo you cad!
"Sputter sputter, sputter sputter sputter!"
Cat Lulu bit into the Ginseng Fruit, the fierce look in her eyes as if she was taking a bite out of Hailbo.
"Eat it slowly, eat it slowly, no one is competing with you,"
Hailbo was oblivious, thinking Cat Lulu must be turning her joy into appetite, overly excited, "Eating so fast is such a waste."
'Cat Carriage!'
