Chapter 135: Gluttony Brings Trouble

Page (1/3)

Ji Yin finished the fruit in two bites and plucked another one.

The fruit was fresh and juicy, melting in her mouth with a light, sweet flavor that was not cloying in the slightest. It was simply delicious beyond compare!

Once she swallowed it, she immediately felt invigorated, every trace of fatigue swept away.

“Wasn’t this fruit poisonous?” Ji Yun was still somewhat worried.

“That glutton only pretended it was poisonous so it could keep all these fruits for itself,” Ji Yin explained softly.

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Ji Yin had already eaten two in succession without showing any reaction, they reached out to pick the fruit as well. Those who ate one immediately discovered its effect—their fatigue vanished completely!

Ji Yun tried one too and experienced the same powerful sensation. His entire body felt extraordinarily comfortable.

“Chitter, chitter, chitter!”

The Scarlet Flame Marten promptly scrambled up from the ground.

Had its performance not been convincing enough? This entire orchard was supposed to belong to it alone! One fruit had been taken, then another…

It immediately leaped into the tree and began stuffing fruit into its mouth.

“Everyone, meditate as soon as possible and improve your strength. From this moment onward, you have nearly six hours.”

At Ji Yun’s reminder, those who were still eating immediately swallowed the fruit in their hands, found a place to sit, and began meditating.

Cradling the fruit in her arms, Ji Yin walked over to Ji Shaofeng. “Brother, why aren’t you eating any?”

“I don’t like them.”

“These fruits can increase your stamina.”

“If that is the case, feed one to Young Master Mo.”

“All right.”

Ji Yin immediately took out a fruit and placed it in Mo Chuan’s mouth.

Mo Chuan had yet to awaken. Bored, Ji Yin leaned against a tree and ate another fruit. Only she and the Scarlet Flame Marten had eaten so many that they practically treated them as meals.

Suddenly, Ji Yin sensed someone watching her and turned her eyes toward the source, glaring back without hesitation.

Wuyan stood alone in the distance. The moment their gazes met, he immediately turned his head aside.

Ji Yin smiled and walked over, offering him a fruit.

“I don’t eat such strange things,” Wuyan refused outright.

“Then don’t. I was kindly offering you one, and you still refused.” Ji Yin stuffed another fruit into her mouth. “Why were you secretly watching me? Do you have something to feel guilty about?”

“I have nothing to feel guilty about!” Wuyan retorted at once.

He simply could not understand why Young Master had given the Phoenix Dance Flowing Immortal Skirt to a man!

Nearby, Ji Yun fashioned a simple hammock and called out to Ji Yin, “Rest here for a while later.”

“Oh!”

Ji Yin answered and immediately walked over.

Lying in the hammock, she swayed leisurely while continuing to eat the fruit in her arms.

She did not stop until all the fruit was gone and she was so full that she could not eat another bite. After adjusting herself into a comfortable position, she soon drifted into slumber.

So hot…

Why was it so hot?

Ji Yin could not help tugging at her clothes.

Ji Yun had draped a garment over her, but she pulled it off at once and threw it onto the ground.

Her body felt as though a raging fire were burning within it, accompanied by another indescribable sensation… A desire beyond description.

“Great Demon, what is wrong with you?” the Demon Cauldron had already sensed that something was amiss with Ji Yin.

“I don’t know what is happening. I’m so hot, and my mouth is parched.” Ji Yin continued pulling at her clothes, as though she would not feel comfortable until she had stripped herself completely. Her mind also felt somewhat muddled, and she struggled to remain conscious.

“I need to find somewhere with water.”

Ji Yin stood up, but her legs suddenly weakened, and she nearly lost her balance.
