Please, I Really Don't Want to Fall in Love With My Teacher!

Chapter 52: The Fruit of the Spirit! Xiao Qingge's choice!

Li Ran rubbed his chin as he looked at the fleeting figure of Yue Jianli.

"Truly white~ but the problem is rather small and needs more development..."

It was exactly as he expected.

Yue Jianli was extremely strong. He was not at all on the same level as Song Qingsong.

That torrential rain sword was definitely not his strongest trump card, but it was enough to cut ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators into meat paste.

"The sword is also quite famous, and the quality is very high. At the very least, it was not inferior to the Spear of Yun Ling, perhaps only slightly inferior to the spear."

Li Ran looked down and looked around. There were broken walls and ruins all around.

He could not help but shake his head. "The power of female destruction is terrifying. A good medicine garden is reduced to this ..."

Li Ran felt he had forgotten something. "Where is Sun Qing ?!"

He had forgotten this girl, he would not be killed by the sword, right?

Li Ran patrolled around the shattered ground.

"I'm here!" Xiao Qingge stuck out her head from the hiding place behind the withered tree.”

Li Ran sighed in relief and landed in front of him.

Although his face was covered in dust, he was not injured at all. His clothes were not hurt.

"Your luck is good enough, how else can you avoid such heavy rain?" Li Ran said in surprise.

Xiao Qingge smiled and said, "I noticed when you started fighting, so I hid behind this Spirit Fruit Tree. No matter how crazy Yue Jianli was, he would subconsciously avoid hurting this immortal matter."

"Smart." Li Ran gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe, I am an expert in hiding," Xiao Qingge replied proudly.

To be able to survive alone for five days in the Grand Myriad Mountain Range, one had to rely on his adaptability and sixth sense.

"You just said that this is the Spirit Fruit Tree?" Li Ran asked.

"M." Xiao Qingge nodded. "According to the Eternal Records, the Fruit of the Spirit is full of life, yet grows on withered trees. It can be broken down into the meaning that one's life and death are related to one another."

"As for this Spirit Fruit Tree, within a radius of a hundred meters, not even a single spirit herb could grow. Perhaps because the Spirit Fruit Tree had taken vitality from the surrounding place." He was not someone who would rush into the secret realm and had made enough preparations.

"You know quite a lot ... Then do you know how to unplug this thing?" Li Ran asked.

"Spirit Fruit is different from other immortal materials, it does not require any techniques, even humans can easily harvest it ... It's just that he has a small requirement for pickers." Xiao Qingge replied.

"What terms?" Li Ran said curiously.

Xiao Qingge became a little embarrassed as she declared in a timid tone, "Spirit Fruit abounds in Yang's essence. It can only be plucked from a place where one's Yin essence still exists. Otherwise, most of its medicinal properties will disappear. …”

"It has a terrible request?" Li Ran judged Xiao Qingge. "Can you do it?"

"Otherwise, I'll catch Yue Jianli and make him pick the fruit."

The girl had a cold expression on her face. She was clearly not interested in men, and her vital yin was, for sure, whole.

"Alright, please start your show."

Huu~ Xiao Qingge calmed down and carefully plucked the fruit.

As soon as the fruit left the branch, the entire withered tree collapsed and instantly turned into ashes.

The mission is complete.

As for where the dust would fly, it would all depend on luck if the next living Spirit Fruit could appear.

Xiao Qingge held the Spirit Fruit in her hand; she could feel the vigorous life within it.

This is what he risked his life to find. It was also the key to whether he could recover his talent and restart the cultivation path.

He looked at the fruit and then Li Ran. He stretched out his hand and said, "Here we go."

"Aah?" Li Ran was stunned. "Isn't this what you're looking for? Why did you give it to me?"

Xiao Qingge shook her head. "This fruit of the Spirit is not mine, it is yours."

"If it wasn't for you, I would have turned into a corpse in the wilderness. I won't have a chance to enter the secret realm, and I won't be able to reach this level."

"Therefore, this Fruit of the Spirit should be yours."

Li Ran scratched his head and said, "But you are picking this fruit."

"Without me, you will have another method to pluck the fruit," Xiao Qingge replied. "It has nothing to do with me."

Li Ran smiled, "Alright, then it's mine. Can't I give it to you?"

After hanging out with Xiao Qingge for the past few days, she witnessed her unyielding spirit despite being on the verge of death several times. Even this made him gasp in awe at his persistence and strength.

Even if it was from the fruit of his success, this fruit should still be his.

Xiao Qingge went silent for a long time and said in a serious manner, "I still can't stand it."

"Why? Aren't you risking your life for that?" He really can't understand.

Xiao Qingge stuffed the spirit fruit into her hands, her eyes filled with gentleness.

"The inheritance is about to happen, a fierce battle is inevitable. Even though you are very strong, this is the legacy of the ancient emperor. You cannot underestimate the severity of the trials to come."

"Song Qingsong was smart and cunning, Yue Jianli had his secret. What if something unexpected happens ..."

"You can save your life at a critical moment if you keep the Fruit of the Spirit."

Li Ran looked at the gentleness in his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt a bit awkward. "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Qingge smiled and gently pressed against her chest. He listened to a strong heartbeat.

"Only if you live, all the things I've done will matter."

"If you made it out of the secret realm, and this fruit has not been used, then come to Wuyang City to find me."

“I'll be waiting for you..”
