Chapter 14

Liu Hao felt the abnormality of his pet beast and looked down to ask: "What's wrong?"

Jinrui let out two more 'ao ao' sounds, locking its gaze tightly on Little Peach.

Seeing this, Ge Bai tried to move Little Peach forward a bit.

Jinrui became even more excited, leaning out more than half its body, stretching its hands far out, trying to reach the peach.

Ge Bai pulled Little Peach back again.

Who would have thought that the little monkey would leap up, preparing to pounce on Ge Bai.

Liu Hao hurriedly grabbed it, and Ge Bai also reacted quickly, retreating two steps rapidly.

Big Willow was paying attention, and seeing this, it jumped out and yelled: "This damn monkey wants to eat Little Peach?"

At the same time, a Willow Whip was whipped between Liu Hao and Ge Bai.

It knew Liu Hao and Ge Bai were good friends, so it was still very restrained.

Ge Bai was stunned; eat the peach? That wouldn't do.

She looked at Liu Hao and repeated Da Liu's question in confusion.

"The monkey wants to eat Xiao Tao? This peach can't be eaten; mine is a Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree seedling, it just transformed like this."

Liu Hao was so nervous that sweat was about to drip down; he hugged Jinrui tightly and said urgently.

"Jinrui, look clearly, she is a spirit plant, not a fruit peach."

The little monkey being held down was a bit pitiful; it looked longingly at the peach, then at Liu Hao, and let out two 'ao ao' sounds at him.

The human and the pet were still communicating.

Ge Bai looked at them helplessly.

Da Liu was very nervous, but Xiao Tao didn't react much.

After thinking about it, Ge Bai still took out a bottle of seedling nutrient solution for her peach.

The peach was like it had no heart or lungs, happily stretching out its leaves to hug the nutrient solution, extending a small root to insert into the nutrient solution, and sucking on it milkily.

Da Liu and Ge Bai felt their hearts melt looking at such a cute peach.

At this time, Liu Hao and Jinrui had also communicated clearly.

"Bai Bai, Jinrui doesn't want to eat the peach; it just thinks Little Peach smells very good and wants to hug Little Peach."

Liu Hao explained, but his arms holding Jinrui didn't loosen at all.

Also, who wouldn't want to hug such a cute peach?

Ge Bai looked at the peach: "Xiao Tao, do you want Jinrui to hug you?"

"Tao Yao~" Xiao Tao said milkily that anything was fine.

Da Liu was on the side, violently whipping its willow branches: "No! A clumsy monkey can't hug Xiao Tao!"

Ge Bai really didn't know where Da Liu got such a strong protective instinct.

She held the peach with one hand and stroked Da Liu soothingly with the other.

"Okay, okay, I know, I won't let it hug the peach."

Saying this, she walked forward two steps and said to Liu Hao.

"Don't hug it; my Little Peach and Big Willow aren't very willing, just let Jinrui touch it."

Jinrui seemed to understand, blinking its big eyes and nodding vigorously; it looked extremely honest, but it still couldn't help but let its eyes drift towards the peach.

Liu Hao was still a bit worried, holding the little monkey firmly, and lowered his head to instruct it again.

"Jinrui, Little Peach is very small, just touch it gently."

Jinrui looked at its Beast Master, its head nodding like a pestle pounding garlic.

Ge Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud seeing them like this.

Little Peach was sucking on the nutrient solution and really didn't take it too seriously.

Da Liu, however, had already gathered spirit power in its willow threads, ready to beat the monkey at any time.

Jinrui carefully reached out its hand and touched the soft Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao even extended a tender bud and touched it.

Jinrui immediately pulled its hand back and rolled around happily in Liu Hao's arms.

Was it that fond of peaches? Ge Bai was shocked.

Liu Hao held his forehead helplessly: "I didn't know Chuan Golden Silk Monkeys liked peaches so much? I've never heard of it."

While complaining, Liu Hao didn't forget to communicate with his Jinrui; after all, the little monkey's reaction really wasn't very normal.

"Ji! Jiji!" Jinrui gestured and danced as it spoke to him.

Liu Hao understood only half of it, and Ge Bai was just watching the fun, but Da Liu understood.

Honestly, Ge Bai couldn't figure out why there was no language barrier between spirit beasts and spirit plants.

This 'Liu Gu Liu Gu' sounded quite different from 'Jiji Jiji'.

Big Willow snorted coldly, "As if he needed to say it, who doesn't know Little Peach is fragrant!"

Hearing Da Liu say this, Ge Bai picked up Xiao Tao and sniffed it hard; she didn't feel anything, it was just the sweet scent of a normal peach.

She was holding Xiao Tao and studying it when Liu Hao finally communicated with Jinrui and got the same explanation.

Fragrant?! Ge Bai remembered.

Her spirit sense moved, she opened the Spirit Plant Cultivation Manual, and flipped to the page for the Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree.

【Variety: Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree】 【Spirit Power Value: Zero Tier First Level (7/100)】

【Skill: Enchanting Peach Scent - Entry (12/100)】

The spirit power value had increased a bit, which was normal.

But why had the points for the skill Enchanting Peach Scent also increased?

Ge Bai hadn't expected Xiao Tao to practice any skills at all, let alone teach it.

But she remembered very clearly that when she contracted it, the skill bar said Enchanting Peach Scent - Entry (0/100).

Did Xiao Tao automatically emit the Enchanting Peach Scent whenever it appeared? Would this skill level up by itself? Ge Bai couldn't believe it.

But at this moment, she saw the manual change again.

【Skill: Enchanting Peach Scent - Entry (13/100)】

Silence, silence was the background color at this moment.

Ge Bai looked at Xiao Tao expressionlessly; during this time, Xiao Tao had been held by her, and she hadn't felt anything unusual at all.

Xiao Tao was hugging the nutrient solution, and seeing Ge Bai looking at it, it also blinked its eyes at Ge Bai.

"Tao?"

It was the same confused little milk peach as always.

Seeing it like this, Ge Bai figured she wouldn't get anything out of it, so she looked at Da Liu.

"Can you also smell Xiao Tao's fragrance?"

"I can smell it, Peach Demon Mother is always this fragrant."

"Xiao Tao's scent is much fainter."

"But whether Peach Demon Mother is fragrant usually depends on her mood."

"Xiao Tao is just always fragrant."

Ge Bai heard this and realized Xiao Tao was really emitting the Enchanting Peach Scent all the time.

Wasn't that a 'lie-down-and-win' peach?

Ge Bai grabbed Da Liu and continued to ask.

"Do you have any special reaction when you smell Xiao Tao's fragrance?"

Since it was a skill, Enchanting Peach Scent definitely had a buff effect.

Da Liu shook its willow threads and shook its head.

"No special feeling."

Ge Bai wouldn't give up; was it because Xiao Tao's fragrance was faint that the effect wasn't obvious? "What about when you smelled Peach Demon Mother's fragrance before?"

Da Liu recalled seriously.

"It felt very pleasant? Actually, Peach Demon Mother was rarely fragrant; when she was fragrant, the surroundings would become very lively, spirit plants would wake up, and there would be more spirit beasts."

Da Liu tried hard to recall, but couldn't think of anything else.

Seeing this, Ge Bai didn't force it and let it go for now.

She would find time to ask Peach Demon Mother later, or wait until Xiao Tao was older and ask her herself; that might be more reliable.

It was a good thing that Xiao Tao could level up its skills while lying down and swaying.

"Bai Bai, what variety is your Little Peach? Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree?"

Ge Bai turned and placed Little Peach between Big Willow's branches.

Big Willow also touched Little Peach with its willow threads, adjusting the angle of the branches to ensure it sat steadily on the willow tree.

"It's a Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree; there should be fruit from this kind of peach tree on the market. Why don't you go buy some of these peach fruits for it to eat and try another day."

Liu Hao nodded, firmly remembering the name.

Just as the two were talking, Da Liu took Little Peach happily into the distance, continuing to practice the Willow Whip and Wind Blade on its own.

Ge Bai also pulled Liu Hao and walked out two steps.

Liu Hao couldn't help it and fixed his gaze on Da Liu again.

Seeing him so curious, Ge Bai didn't hide anything.

"Da Liu has awakened offensive skills, it's just that it doesn't know many yet."

Saying this, she compared it to what Da Liu was practicing and explained the two skills, Willow Whip and Wind Blade.

Liu Hao was stunned: "Ge Bai, your Weeping Willow is one of a kind."

Ge Bai smiled and was modest.

"I guess so. What about Jinrui? What skills has it awakened?"

Liu Hao said indifferently: "Just two, Dodge and Dash, which are things most Chuan Golden Silk Monkeys know before the first tier."

"Our Jinrui is almost a year old, and it has mastered both skills quite well; it should be close to Proficient."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, as if he remembered something.

He looked down at Jinrui in his arms, which was staring at Da Liu without blinking, and then looked at Da Liu in the distance, which was whipping out Wind Blades and Willow Whips with a 'whoosh' sound.

"Bai Bai, how about we let Jinrui and Da Liu try to spar?"
