Chapter 84: Planting Peach Blossom Trees
“Hello everyone, since you’ve just arrived today, I should have let you rest first. However, the base’s defenses are still a bit lacking, so I’m having everyone start working now. I hope you won’t have any complaints. Brother Yi, Min Feng, you two go find Grandmother. We’ll prepare a delicious meal tonight to welcome everyone.”
Hearing Sang Chu tell them to go find Grandmother, both of them were stunned. Hadn’t they agreed not to let Grandmother appear before these people?
It was Lu Min Feng who reacted first: “Okay, we’ll go now. You guys carry on.”
Sang Chu nodded.
After the two left, she cut the 8 demon peaches （ large peaches ） in her hand and handed a slice to each of them: “Eat this first, to prevent you from being accidentally injured later.”
The Peach Blossom Tree bears demon peaches, but almost every tree only grows one or two. Demon peaches are what can counteract the bewitching fragrance of the Peach Blossom Tree.
Zhao Xiao’s supernatural ability was strong, so he didn’t seem as restricted as the others: “Boss, what is this thing?”
“Just call me Sang Chu. This is a demon peach, and what I’ll have you plant later is a special kind of peach tree that has a bewitching effect. Once you’re affected by its fragrance, you’ll immediately fall unconscious. This demon peach can counteract that effect. Currently, I only have this one demon peach, so I can only give everyone a slice to temporarily resist the Peach Blossom Tree’s bewitching fragrance. Everyone needs to plant them quickly.
To ensure the safety of the base, I will plant these Peach Blossom Trees around the entire base, and each of you will be responsible for a zone. Please finish as quickly as possible. After you go back, tell your families about this. Demon peaches cannot be accelerated by supernatural abilities; they can only grow on their own. One tree might not even yield one demon peach, so you must not wander around carelessly, lest you be accidentally injured.”
Ma Ya Ru: “Sister Sang, in that case, will we not be going out anymore?”
Her voice was very soft; if the place hadn’t been so quiet, Sang Chu wouldn’t have heard her:
“Yes, under normal circumstances, you won’t go out. Of course, if you want to go out, you can directly find Brother Yi or my brother, Lu Min Feng. After these demon peaches grow, I will give some to them regularly. In the apocalypse, safety comes first. Of course, if anyone feels they cannot accept this, you can speak up, and I’ll have Brother Yi send you out.”
Ma Ya Ru didn’t say anything this time. Xia Han looked at Sang Chu and said, “What about the zombies? Don’t we need to clear out zombies?”
Sang Chu smiled: “Our base is not yet fully operational. As long as no zombies run into the base, we don’t need to worry about them for now. We just need to get all aspects of the base built up. Oh, right, the second floor of the breeding farm is none of your business. No one is allowed in without my permission, understand?”
Everyone nodded, received the Peach Blossom Tree seeds, and the five people dispersed to claim their respective areas and begin planting.
Underground City
Seeing Grandmother Lin and Sang Jing Wen practicing their supernatural abilities, Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng were dumbfounded!
Mu Xue, giggling, led the fair and tender little dumpling, Bai Yu Qi, towards them: “Surprised, aren’t you? Sang Sang brought back good things. Grandmother and Brother Jing Wen have both awakened supernatural abilities, uh, no, it seems they should be called spiritual roots. Ah well, it’s about the same.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “Spiritual roots? Like in cultivation novels?”
Unlike his astonishment, Lu Min Feng looked at the Great White Flood Dragon, Bai Yu Qi, whom Mu Xue was holding: “Xiao Xue, who is this child?”
Xiao Yi Fei then noticed the fair and soft little dumpling: “That’s right, where did this child come from? He looks so small and fair and soft!”
Bai Yu Qi: “You’re the small one, I’m Bai Yu Qi!”
Mu Xue found him quite cute when he pouted, and really wanted to pinch his chubby little cheeks, but she really didn’t dare. Holding his soft little hand was already pushing her luck.
“This is the Great White Flood Dragon. Sang Sang brought back a Shapeshifting Pill, allowing him to transform into a human. It’s just that although he’s very large in his beast form, he’s actually still young, which is why he looks like a child.”
Bai Yu Qi: “I will grow up!”
Mu Xue very skillfully took out Spirit Spring Water and stroked his head, saying, “Yes, yes, drink more Spirit Spring Water to grow up better!”
Lu Min Feng couldn’t help but smile as he watched the interaction between the two.
Xiao Yi Fei looked around; it was as bright as daytime: “This, I wanted to say this earlier, this underground city seems a bit too bright?”
Sang Jing Wen walked over from the newly opened training ground nearby, still holding a Broken Saber: “This is a Dragon Pearl that Sang Sang brought back from the Demon Realm. It’s very bright; almost every house can be illuminated by opening a window. It’s very convenient.”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at Sang Jing Wen and said excitedly, “Brother Wen, did you awaken a supernatural ability too? What is it?”
Sang Jing Wen: “This isn’t a supernatural ability. Tu You said I have an Empty Spiritual Root, with a slight affinity for the Fire Element. So, he suggested I learn Swordsmanship.”
“Empty Spiritual Root? That sounds so powerful!”
Sang Jing Wen smiled: “Actually, it’s the most difficult spiritual root to cultivate. However, I believe that as long as I work hard, it will be fine. By the way, you’re all back, what about the supernatural ability users?”
Lu Min Feng: “A Chu has something to discuss with them and asked us to find Grandmother. She said she’ll be holding a Welcome Banquet for them later. I was wondering why she asked us to find Grandmother, but it turns out Grandmother has also awakened a supernatural ability.”
Grandmother Lin looked at them cheerfully: “Yes, my supernatural ability is also Wood Element. I can help everyone accelerate plant growth from now on. If Sang Sang is holding a banquet, the supplies from outside might not be enough. Wait for me, I’ll go to the warehouse to get some things.”
Lin Mu Xue immediately let go of Bai Yu Qi’s hand and ran over: “Grandmother, I’ll go with you!”
Bai Yu Qi glanced at Sang Jing Wen: “I want to go out too!”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at Bai Yu Qi, with his rosy lips and white teeth, like a New Year’s picture doll, and couldn’t help but squat down and pinch his little cheeks: “Are you really a Great White Flood Dragon? You don’t look like one at all!”
Bai Yu Qi narrowed his eyes unhappily, but his round, big eyes had no destructive power at all; he just looked very cute.
Xiao Yi Fei was not afraid at all. Bai Yu Qi placed his hands on Xiao Yi Fei’s shoulders, let out a long roar, and a strong wind blew into Xiao Yi Fei’s face.
He wanted to dodge, but Bai Yu Qi’s hands gripped his shoulders tightly, making him unable to move.
Xiao Yi Fei’s face was blown out of shape.
Sang Jing Wen quickly said: “Yu Qi, A Yi means no harm, let him go!”
Bai Yu Qi glanced at Sang Jing Wen, flicked his small hand, and directly threw Xiao Yi Fei away. Xiao Yi Fei rolled a few times on the spot and then stood up as if nothing had happened.
“Whoa, you really are! That’s amazing!”
Sang Jing Wen: “Be more careful, come with me to the treatment room.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Since everyone is a supernatural ability user now, let’s all go out. It’s too stuffy to stay in the underground city all the time.”
Lu Min Feng: “Yes, let’s do that. Brother Yi, A Chu said Aunt Jian has woken up. You go see Aunt Jian first. I’ll go help Mu Xue and the others move things upstairs.”
Xiao Yi Fei was stunned: “My mother is awake?”
