Nangong Zhuo was stunned by Qin Shaobai's question, and then he subconsciously said,"Then what do you think this is?"”Qin Shaobai looked at him deeply and said with a serious expression," Before that, you have to tell me where you got this tree and how it grew.”Seeing that the two of them were talking about the tree, Jiu Xuan remembered Qin Shaobai's instructions. He squatted down and began to feel around the tree. Ru Mochen was attracted by Qin Shaobai and the others and didn't notice Jiu Xuan's actions. Nangong Mengdie looked at Jiu Xuan curiously with a hint of craftiness in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
After doing everything according to Qin Shaobai's instructions, Jiu Xuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw a person smiling at him. This person was none other than Nangong Mengdie! Seeing her, Jiu Xuan, who was about to stand up, was so scared that he squatted down again. Nangong Mengdie saw Jiu Xuan's frightened expression and couldn't help but cover his mouth. She chuckled and said," You're really interesting. I'm not a fierce tiger or a wild beast. Why are you so afraid of me?"”
Hearing her bell-like laughter and looking at her smiling face, no matter how he looked at it, she looked like an innocent and beautiful girl. Jiu Xuan couldn't help but shiver. He cupped his hands towards Nangong Mengdie and apologized," I've made a fool of myself in front of the ninth princess. I was born in the mountains and haven't seen the world so I've been flustered when I saw girls since I was young. Please forgive me for my rudeness."”As he spoke, he stood up. At the same time, he thought to himself," If you were a ferocious tiger or a wild beast, it would be fine. At most, I would just kill you with a sword. However, you are not. That's why you are even more terrifying."”
Nangong Mengdie seemed to be amused by Jiu Xuan's words. She circled around him a few times and kept making clicking sounds as if she was sighing about something. Seeing her like this, Jiu Xuan felt a little scared and asked in a trembling voice," Ninth Princess, why is there something wrong with my body?"”As he spoke, Jiu Xuan looked at his clothes, as if he was really afraid that there was something wrong with them.
Nangong Mengdie couldn't help but laugh out loud. She laughed,"You're such an interesting idiot. Are you really a Dao Cultivator?"”Jiu Xuan was stunned by Nangong Mengdie's words. He touched himself and whispered," I'm really a genuine Dao Cultivator. If I lie, I'll be struck by lightning."”After he finished speaking, Jiu Xuan saw Nangong Mengdie's crafty expression and thought that it was bad. He hurriedly said," Let's listen to Shao Bai introduce this tree. I'm very curious about it. Aren't you curious?"”
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't curious. Nangong Mengdie came here to see the Cloud Mist Tree, but it was impossible for her to agree. She looked at Jiu Xuan and said playfully," But compared to this Cloud Mist Tree, I'm more curious about you."”These words stunned Jiu Xuan. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Nangong Mengdie had already walked to Qin Shaobai and the others 'side. Looking at her, Jiu Xuan cursed in his heart and then slowly walked to Qin Shaobai and the others' side.
At this moment, she heard Qin Shaobai's cold voice." If you're not willing to tell me the origin of this tree, then there's no need for us to continue chatting. If we can't even be honest with each other, then what's the point of talking?"”Nangong Zhuo only listened quietly to Qin Shaobai's taunts. He didn't refute or explain anything. This made Jiu Xuan anxious. He couldn't help but say," Big Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. Is there something inconvenient?"”
Hearing this, Nangong Zhuo frowned helplessly and sighed." I won't lie in front of you. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't explain it either."”These words made Jiu Xuan and the others confused. Ru Mochen couldn't help but say," Big Brother, you didn't say anything about the origin of this tree before. I thought you had something difficult to say. Now that you say it, you can't explain it. What's going on?"”
Nangong Zhuo nodded and said," Yes, it's precisely because of this that I didn't let people cut down this tree. Later, I found that this tree grew very, very slowly. It was only last year that this scenery appeared. That was when this tree could emit a strange fragrance, and the tree was surrounded by clouds.”Upon hearing this, Qin Shaobai nodded and slowly said," I can't be wrong. It's indeed it. But it's strange. Why would it appear here?"”
? Hearing Qin Shaobai talk about the effects of the Cloud Dream Tea, Jiu Xuan and Ru Mochen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air." How can there be such a heaven-defying thing?" they sighed.”Nangong Mengdie and Nangong Zhuo didn't feel anything. After all, they didn't know anything about cultivation. However, Qin Shaobai's words confused Nangong Zhuo. He couldn't help but ask," Then what's the direct connection between this Cloud Dream Tea Tree and this bewitching thing?"”
Seeing Nangong Zhuo's anxious look, Qin Shaobai smiled and said," Don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly. If I tell you quickly, you'll be even more confused." Just as Jiu Xuan and the others had said, the Cloud Dream Tea Tree was a heaven-defying item. There was only one tree in the world, and it would not be fixed in one place. Every time it appeared, it was random and there was no pattern to be found. Under such circumstances, someone mistakenly entered the periphery of the Soul Ruins. He saw a few bewitching leaves that looked exactly like the Cloud Dream Tea Tree inside. He was excited and picked the bewitching leaves, preparing to sell them.”
Hearing this, Jiu Xuan said with some doubt,"Could it be that these two look exactly the same? There's no difference at all?" Then how did you tell that it was confusing?”This was also where Ru Mochen and the others were puzzled. Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Qin Shaobai shook his head and said," Actually, there are still differences. Although both trees have a strange fragrance and it seems similar at first glance, there are still differences when you smell it carefully.”
At this point, Qin Shaobai saw that Ru Mochen looked like he wanted to ask something, so he hurriedly said," Let's continue talking about that person. That person took the bewitching leaves out and sold them as Cloud Dream Tea leaves. After the person bought them, he fell into a deep sleep and his cultivation kept falling. Later, his family found the person who sold the bewitching leaves. Under his lead, everyone saw the Soul Ruins for the first time. After seeing the bewitching leaves, they had evil thoughts and killed that person in the Soul Ruins. They also began to sell the bewitching leaves.”
Nangong Mengdie asked naively,"Why would you sell something that you know is harmful?"”Qin Shaobai looked at her and sighed faintly.”Then, he continued," As that family sold more and more Bewitching Heart, the world also discovered these different Dao Comprehension Tea leaves. Once consumed, one would fall into a deep sleep, and their cultivation would continuously decline. Their vitality would gradually be destroyed, and for a time, people were worried. This tea was called Bewitching Heart Tea. Later, when people found the real culprit and saw this tree in the Soul Ruins, they called it Bewitching Heart. Moreover, when they saw the mature Bewitching Heart in the depths of the Soul Ruins, they realized how correct the name was.”
