Chapter 52

The two returned to the fortress, lay down on the bed preparing to rest, but their bodies were so excited they could hardly fall asleep.

Li Qingxuan felt Li Feifei's fiery figure, his body involuntarily reacting; hearing Li Feifei say it was still her first time, he grew even more excited.

After enduring the initial pain, the two gradually became immersed, their affection blazing like fire, lasting five or six hours until Li Feifei was exhausted, whereupon Li Qingxuan reluctantly stopped.

The two simply cleaned up, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep; when they woke again, it was already three o'clock the next afternoon.

After a simple meal, the two entered the greenhouse; Li Feifei's legs still trembled slightly, she held onto the greenhouse's metal frame to barely steady herself, and a faint blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.

Li Qingxuan, seeing this, instinctively reached out his arm to support her, his voice low and concerned: "Are you alright? Do you want to rest a bit longer?"

"Stinky Little Brother! It's all your fault!" Li Feifei said angrily, then took a deep breath and straightened her back.

Although her movements were still a bit stiff, her eyes had regained their usual brightness: "My legs are sore, but we shouldn't waste time; let's hurry and see how our treasures are doing! The Bodhi Fruit should have grown again, right?"

Her thoughts had completely flown to that patch of new green, especially that miraculous Bodhi Tree.

Yesterday's Accelerated Growth effect let her taste huge benefits, and it filled her with an unprecedented desire to improve her Spirit attribute.

Li Qingxuan supported Li Feifei, his steps slow but firm as they headed toward the deeper part of the planting area.

As expected, before they even got close, they saw the Bodhi Tree's familiar canopy shrouded in a soft halo.

Five plump, round Bodhi Fruits, glowing with a faint golden light, hung silently; their fresh fragrance seemed a bit richer than yesterday's, refreshing the heart and spleen.

"Great! With these five, I can stimulate more areas!" Li Feifei's eyes lit up, almost shouting for joy, and her discomfort was instantly diluted by great joy.

Li Qingxuan stepped forward quickly, gently and skillfully plucking the five fruits one by one, holding them carefully in his hands.

The warm, jade-like feel and the gentle Life Energy within made him also feel a sense of ease.

He turned and handed all the fruits to Li Feifei: "Here, today's share."

"Mm!" Li Feifei nodded firmly, receiving this weighty hope.

She couldn't wait to pick up one, taking a light bite as if savoring a delicacy.

The cool, sweet juice instantly spread in her mouth, that familiar warm current surged straight to her mind, washing away the weariness deep in her soul, and the slightest Spirit fatigue vanished at once.

She could clearly feel her Sea of Consciousness becoming clearer and more stable, as if reinforced and expanded by an invisible force.

"Feeling... even better than yesterday's effect!" she said, savoring it and delightedly telling Li Qingxuan, "It seems... the foundation of her Spiritual Power is more solid?"

"Very likely." Li Qingxuan attentively observed her state changes, especially the subtle difference in her eyes: "The effect of the Bodhi Fruit is cumulative, continually nourishing the origin; the improvement is not just in numbers, but also in the thickness of the foundation and mastery of ability. Quick, look at the Control Panel."

After eating one, Li Feifei, hearing that, immediately summoned her personal Control Panel with her thoughts. She saw the Spirit attribute column, the number had jumped from 59 to 69!

【Name: Li Feifei】

【Age: 26】

【Gender: Female】

【Constitution: 9】

【Spirit: 69】 (average adult value is 5)

【Occupation: Spiritual Plant Master】

【Ability: Bountiful Harvest: Used before harvesting crops, harvest +20%】

【Accelerated Growth: Currently usable on plants in land area of (Spirit/10)*100 square meters, shortening plant maturation time by 10 days, each area can be used once per day】

【Evaluation: A gorgeous woman, rapidly growing】

"69 points!" she exclaimed, pointing at the Control Panel, her voice slightly rising with excitement, "Brother Qingxuan, quick look! The evaluation has changed too!"

This meant she could apply her ability to the entire wheat field at once, still having spare energy, and efficiency would greatly increase!

"Hurry up and eat the remaining Bodhi Fruits!" Li Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a gleam; he carefully examined the information on the Control Panel: "Each use of the ability shortens plant maturation time by 10 days; Feifei, you are truly my lucky star!"

A huge joy welled up in her heart; Li Feifei felt her whole body filled with strength, even the soreness in her legs lessened somewhat.

She couldn't wait to quickly eat the remaining four Bodhi Fruits, feeling wave after wave of stronger warm currents surging through her body; although her Spirit attribute did not increase further, her Sea of Consciousness became more full and abundant, her state better than ever.

"I'm full of energy now!" Li Feifei moved her limbs, eager to try, "Today I'm much stronger than yesterday! Brother Qingxuan, I want to try Accelerated Growth again!"

Li Qingxuan did not immediately agree, but cautiously observed her complexion and eyes, confirming that the signs of weakness had truly vanished, leaving only abundant vitality, before nodding and saying: "Good! Let's first target the lettuce and carrot patch; their area is small, only a few dozen square meters, so we can test your increased consumption and effect. The wheat field is large, we'll leave it for you to use later."

"Mm! I'll listen to you!" Li Feifei readily complied, immediately directing her gaze to the lettuce and carrot seedling area.

One day passed, these seedlings, nourished by the Spirit Spring and a suitable environment, quietly grew a bit taller, verdant and lush.

She walked to the field's edge, focused her Spirit, and activated the Accelerated Growth ability again.

This time, without yesterday's heaviness, her Spiritual Power flowed like a gentle stream, smoothly and steadily emanating from her brow, precisely covering the target area.

Hum—

In the air, a faint resonance seemed to arise; the selected lettuce and carrot seedlings were instantly enveloped by a layer of more solid, richer silver-green light than yesterday's, like a tangible mist, slowly descending and gently embracing each seedling.

The miracle happened again!

Under the watchful, unblinking eyes of the two, the tender lettuce leaves, as if smoothed and stretched by an invisible hand, unfurled at a visible speed, becoming wider and thicker, with veins clearly protruding, their color rapidly deepening from light green to dark green.

The carrot's feathery compound leaves shot up rapidly, becoming dense and upright; although the growth of its underground root stem was invisible, the surface slightly bulged, obviously also swelling quickly.

In just a few seconds, when the halo faded, the lettuce and carrot seedlings that had still been at the sprouting stage had all simultaneously entered the mature stage!

The lettuce leaves overlapped layer upon layer, almost covering the furrows; the carrot's stems and leaves grew lush like a small shrub, foretelling the vigorous growth of its underground root stem.
