âDo you still remember the last time I said that there was a big demon in the ancient alley of the Xicheng District that raised the harm-free tree?âMing Ze restrained his emotions and explained,â Other than the pest free wood, there are other plants in his house, such as the tung tree.â
âWhatâs that?â Ji Jing asked curiously.
âThe paulownia tree is a tree that grows by the river. Its leaves and fruits can be used as medicine. Eat the fruit of the tung flower tree, and your overdraft of ling power will recover very quickly.âMing Ze said simply.
What Ji Jing didnât know was that the paulownia tree was now as rare as the trouble-free tree. Many humans and little demons wanted a fruit but couldnât get it. Using its fruit to recover spiritual power was simply a luxury like installing a pure gold toilet bowl.
âI see.â Ji Jing exclaimed, but would the big monster agree?â
âDonât worry, he owes me a lot of things. This is a rare opportunity for him to repay his debt, so he will definitely agree.âMing Zeâs tone was very firm.
The great demon Xicheng District did not like anything else. He liked to plant all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees, especially rare species. However, there were only a handful of people or demons who could find those rare species in this world, and Ming Ze happened to be one of them.
Therefore, he always asked Ming Ze to help him find the seed. However, he promised every time how he would repay this favor in the future, but it was difficult to fulfill it every time. After the second time, he owed Ming Ze more
and more debts.
Walking the Demonic Path was much more convenient than traveling with humans. Soon, the two of them arrived at the ancient alley in the Xicheng District.
âYo, rare guest!â Before Ming Ze could knock on the door, the door was opened by a long-haired man.â Whatâs the matter that made you come personally?!ââ He welcomed Ji Jing and Ming Ze into the house.
âI want to ask you for two fruits from the tung tree.âMing Ze led Ji Jing into the house naturally, skillfully passing through the first floor and into the backyard.
Ji Jing looked around curiously. The style here was somewhat similar to Ming Zeâs house. They were both buildings that had stood for hundreds of years, and every corner was marked by the accumulation of time.
The biggest difference was that this house had a huge backyard. This courtyard was surrounded by a large area of plants. It couldnât even be called a backyard simply. It was more like a small forest. Sitting in the courtyard was like having a picnic by the forest.
âOh! If you want fruits, you can say it well. There are quite a lot of fruits this year.âThe man followed behind the two of them. He didnât seem to mind Ming Zeâs hurry and carelessness. He only looked at Ji Jing.â But, arenât you going to introduce this little Taoist priest?â
âHello, my name is Ji Jing. Iâm Ming Zeâs friend.âJi Jing introduced herself generously.
She was not wearing a Daoist robe, but the man seemed to have seen through her identity at a glance. Great demons were indeed not simple. Ji Jing secretly thought.
âHello, hello! Just call me Liang Xiao.â Liang Xiao laughed heartily and sized up this friend that Ming Ze had brought along.
Friends? Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows in his heart. This was the first time he knew that Ming Ze valued friendship so much.
How could a friend make Ming Ze come to him personally? He didnât really believe it. To Ming Ze, this person was probably more than just a friend.
â This is the paulownia tree.â Liang Xiao casually picked up a pot of flowers from the corner of the courtyard and placed it directly on the table.â It used to live next to Redwater. But now that the water has dried up, I can only transplant it to my yard.â
âSo itâs so small.â Ji Jing was very surprised. The name â paulownia tree sounded like a tall tree, but it was so small?
The red water irrigation is like this. âLiang Xiao waved his hand indifferently.â Heâs not as tall as before, so he canât bear many fruits in a year. Here, thatâs all. You guys eat sparingly. âLiang Xiao took out a small cloth bag that contained three to four small fruits.
âSo itâs so preciousâ¦â Ji Jing picked a few round fruits that looked like chestnuts.â Mingze, you donât have to give me such precious fruits, do you? I can rest for a few more days..â
