Chapter 282: Chapter 283: Little Tyrant Flower and Ugly Tyrant Flower
The rice here grows in a strange way, enclosed within a plant that resembles a bean pod. For convenience, Su Tang has named it Rice Pod.
Before leaving, she specifically instructed the cubs, who spent their days frolicking in the valley, to harvest all the Rice Pods within the valley; the Collection Team would take care of gathering the ones outside the valley.
Rice Pods grow on a plant similar to a vine, but it’s unclear whether the vine is a perennial or if it will die after a designated season.
Therefore, Su Tang did not dare to let anyone touch the vine that grew the Rice Pods, deciding that it would not be too late to do so once it was confirmed that rice could give rise to Rice Pods.
...
All of the undiluted concentrated Growth Liquid was poured near the Tyrant Flower Seed.
It did not take long for Su Tang to notice some looseness in the lightly buried soil. Immediately after, a small sprout climbed out of the ground.
The tender green sprout, much like the grass on the village chief’s head in the cartoon Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, looked extremely delightful!
Excited, Su Tang slapped Gaiyin’s arm, "Look Ayin! It has grown so quickly! How amazing!"
Gaiyin simply nodded calmly, "Hmm, things from the Holy Temple are indeed extraordinary!"
Su Tang could not help but shrug.
Would Gaiyin cry if he knew that the Holy Temple was in fact the System he had previously kicked?
Having confirmed that the Tree-man concentrated Growth Liquid was indeed effective, Su Tang couldn’t possibly supervise it the whole time, so she instructed Gaiyin to build a fence out of branches nearby to prevent the Gugu Beasts and Long-eared Beasts from accidentally trampling on the sprouts.
Once the task was completed, the two wandered off into the valley again.
The Tyrant Flower Seed was eagerly absorbing nutrients and growing rapidly, a feeling that felt absolutely marvelous.
One leaf after another slowly unfurled and its height continued to grow. The feeling of sunlight shining on its branches and leaves made the flower extremely content.
More than half a day later, the Tyrant Flower had finally transformed from a flower bud into a true Tyrant Flower!
The fiery red petals stretched out, swaying in the breeze, feeling particularly at ease.
Suddenly, the Tyrant Flower noticed that its nutrients were rapidly being drained and immediately became anxious!
After scanning its surroundings, it finally discovered another slightly ugly Tyrant Flower outside the fence!
The Tyrant Flower was extremely curious, it did not expect to find another Tyrant Flower here. But, it was really ugly! What a disgrace to the reputation of the Tyrant Flowers!
The petals twitched slightly, transmitting a message to the Tyrant Flower outside the fence.
"Where did you come from? Why are you stealing my food! And you are so ugly～"
The ugly Tyrant Flower received the message and was first startled, before finally discovering the small Tyrant Flower within its leaves and branches.
"When did you start growing here? I’ve never noticed a second Tyrant Flower here before."
The ugly Tyrant Flower contracted its petals, its stems threaded through the gaps of the fence.
Since the fence was only meant to keep out the Gugu Beasts and Long-eared Beasts, the gaps were quite large!
If Gaiyin had known that this seed was a Tyrant Flower, would he still have bothered with a fence? It was debatable who would eat who!
The little Tyrant Flower cried out in surprise, "Wow! You are so powerful! You can even walk!"
The ugly Tyrant Flower stopped near the small Tyrant Flower, sinking its roots into the soil and sighed in comfort.
"You haven’t answered my question yet, when did you start growing here?"
