Liu Huihe was in a good mood today. When Fang Shen was about to go to the mountain, she spent a long time in her bedroom changing her clothes.
She came out with a pretty dress, but it seemed a bit tight for her well-developed body.
She affected embarrassment for a while before speaking, "Well, I bought this dress years ago. I must have gained some weight. Could you please wait there for a moment? I'm going to get changed."
"Come on, we are not on a date! You look pretty in the dress. Let's go," he said with a smile.
"Really?" She showed a row of teeth and followed him, moving towards the mountain behind the village. She adjusted her dress from time to time on the way to the mountain.
Some villagers saw them and gossiped about them.
Fang ignored them, but Liu was a little ashamed. She dared not raise her head, but followed him in silence.
After they arrived at the mountain, she was much more relieved as there was no villager here.
While climbing the mountain, he turned on Clairvoyant to check the environment.
He found many Chinese herbs, but was not interested in them at this moment.
After a short while, they arrived at the place where he had been hit by lightning.
Turning around, he saw Liu panting for breath. It was hot summer. She was bathed in sweat and the wet dress clung to her body.
A warm current coursed through his body; he swallowed hard.
His mind flew back to pictures he had seen before: she was a young woman married to Jianghai Village ten years ago; she wore mourning and was drenched in tears after her husband died…
He sighed and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, before investigating the surrounding environment.
There was a dying tree where he had been hit by lightning. According to the elder people in the village, the tree lived for thousands of years.
There should be many trees of the same age on the mountain, but the rest were felled for woods. This tree was the only one left, but it was withering recently.
To his intense surprise, the dying tree came alive again! It sent up countless new shoots, while the several remained leaves didn't turn yellow. Instead, the leaves became crystal green as if they were carved from top quality emeralds.
With the Clairvoyant, he clearly saw the roots of the tree had extended to dozens of meters under the ground.
The main body of the tree was full of energy!
There was also rich energy in those crystal green leaves!
He may be sure that once the tree produced fruits, there would be much more energy in the fruits.
Liu came up to him. Seeing him staring at the tree, she also let her eyes settle upon it. "Wow, how beautiful these leaves are!" she yelled out in astonishment.
After saying that, she ran towards the tree and reached out her hand in an attempt to took a leaf off.
She grabbed a leaf and pulled it back. However, the leaf remained on the branch. She pulled it harder and even the branch gave, but the leaf was still on the branch!
She blushed with embarrassment. She knew she was a weak lady, but she couldn't believe that she was too weak to take a leaf off the tree.
