Chapter: 5810

"It's fine." Ye Chen said seriously: "Look at how vigorous her life force is. The leaves that were plucked will definitely grow back quickly. We're just helping her prune her branches, aren't we? What's the point of saying it?"

Lin Wan'er said pitifully, "Prince, she's just sprouted out, how can you prune her at this moment...?"

Ye Chen saw Lin Wan'er's eyes well up with tears and helplessly handed over two leaves to her face, saying, "Look, I've plucked them already, can't give them back to her, might as well only pluck these two, too many and I won't pluck at all, that'll do?"

Lin Wan'er sighed wistfully, murmuring with a hint of annoyance, "Then Prince, please taste it yourself, slave girl's heart is unwilling..."

Ye Chen saw Lin Wan'er's childish face writ large with refusal and began to persuade her, saying, "All plucked, won't waste anymore, besides, you're the only one who understands the mother of Pu Tea, relying solely on feeling judgment is useless, you have to taste it to finally confirm."

As he spoke, he handed one leaf to Lin Wan'er's mouth and the other to his own, opening his mouth to say, "Come, let's both take a taste together."

Seeing him persist, Lin Wan'er knew she couldn't resist, so she sulkily glanced at him and opened her mouth to say, "Alright... slave girl will have to taste it then."

Finished, she lightly puffed out her red lips, gently bit off the tender green leaf with a light touch.

Ye Chen saw her eat, and also relaxed, putting his own piece in his mouth and chewing.

He originally thought that this stuff was extremely refreshing, with a scent like tea, and the taste should be very good. However, he didn't expect that after chewing on the green leaf, it would release a small amount of intense and pure spiritual energy!

As soon as he took a sip, that spiritual energy immediately lifted his spirits.

Although the amount of spiritual energy was not much, its purity was unparalleled, and this was an unprocessed fresh tea leaf, which inherently had spiritual energy. Ye Chen had never seen anything like it before.

Lin Wan'er also discovered the peculiarities of this tea leaf at this moment. This tea leaf broke down in her mouth without any bitterness or astringency, leaving a faintly sweet taste that was both refreshing and strange.

She had tasted countless teas in her life, including those produced by Pu Tea's mother, but she had never experienced anything as magical as this.

She asked Ye Chen in amazement, "Why does this tea leaf have such an obvious effect? It's as if I've just taken a sip and my entire body feels invigorated! I remember that Pu Tea's mother's tea leaves didn't have this kind of effect..."

Ye Chen spoke seriously, "It's because this leaf contains spiritual energy."

"Has spiritual energy?! How is that possible?" Lin Wan'er exclaimed. "I've heard from my father that there are many types of plants used to refine spiritual energy in the world, and these plants need to be mixed with other ingredients and refined by an expert before they possess spiritual energy. This leaf is just sprouting out - how can it have spiritual energy?"

Ye Chen said, "Maybe this is because Pu Tea's mother went through a tribulation and was reborn under the thunder, much like our previous conversation about the scatterer of herbs. Perhaps Pu Tea's mother has now become a scatterer in the plant realm."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Aside from Pu Tea's mother, I've never encountered any plant that inherently had spiritual energy."

"Has she really felt that way?" Lin Wan'er exclaimed. "She must have gone through a tribulation and been reborn under the thunder, just like our previous conversation about the scatterer of herbs. Perhaps she has now become a scatterer in the plant realm."

Ye Chen asked her, "What do you think she is now?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "I don't know, but I feel that she's more like rebirth through ashes. She must have left herself a thread of life back then, and then suffered for three hundred years, waiting for the right moment to come along. And after that violent rainstorm, she was able to get a transformation comparable to meeting a dragon in a whirlwind!"

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er frowned, "But I just can't figure out how she managed to leave herself a thread of life under the natural order and withstand the heavenly tribulation."

Ye Chen didn't care about Pu Tea's mother leaving herself a thread of life back then. He was simply watching this sapling and couldn't help but lament, "If we were to take her away and nurture her well, wait until she grows into a giant tree several meters high, every day just plucking leaves to eat and becoming an absolute master!"

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise, "Are you going to take her away?" JrNovels.com
