NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74: Two owners
Hearing Wei Jiayi's insult, she could just stare at him flatly, "Heh, thank you I guess." Of course, this prince would not do anything without benefit.
After both of their blood started to be absorbed by the Purple Rose herb, the bud blossomed further, its petals became more lustrous and the smoke around it lessened.
The vines of the herb that originally were not moving, started to sway around, like a dance, reaching out to their hands that were currently still together.
Wei Jiayi removed his hand to avoid being included with the first step of ownership. He just shared a little of his blood since he had a massive amount of spiritual energy which Gao Lan Mei did not have.
Despite doing so, one of the vines from the Purple Rose herb still followed his hand and curled on his wrist, "Tsk. Stop! She will be your new owner!" He commanded, but then there was no response from the herb. How bothersome!
The vine was still wrapped around his wrist securely. It did not show any signs of letting go. The more he moved or tried to remove the vine, the tighter it's grip got.
"What's going on?" Gao Lan Mei frowned, eyebrows come down in a knot. It was seldom that an enchanted creature wanted to have two owners!
Seeing that Wei Jiayi was preparing to cut the vine, "Do not hurt it!" they were in the middle of the transfer of ownership if the herb became indignant of her, there was a high chance that she would be refused as an owner.
"I know!" he exclaimed through clenched teeth. If he hurt the Purple Rose herb, there's a very high chance for it to become hostile.
The herb which did not listen to him anymore would surely get pissed and he would not be able to control it. At the time, the herb would need to be destroyed completely.
If the purple rose herb was destroyed, no one would benefit. The medicines created from it were priceless!
Yes, the herb was still not of a higher degree, but the older it got and more it cultivated, the higher the benefit would be.
Thinking about this, if both of them owned the herb, there was really no downside. Aside from the fact that he needed to see her whenever he needed the herbs. Anyway, it was near impossible for Gao Lan Mei to change ownership without external help.
Gao Lan Mei was very much aware of the challenges of getting acknowledgment from an enchanted herb without spiritual energy, that was why the little black snake was waiting to help.
It seemed that it was not needed anymore. Since the Purple Rose herb had already decided by the way its vines wrapped on their wrist, there was no need to dilly dally. If she could use it, that worked perfectly for her.
The others who were seeing what was going on did not know what to do. They also could not go closer unless instructed.
Gao Lan Mei watched helplessly at the vines that swayed around them. Then two vines went into her sleeves. The movement made her giggle. "What is it doing?" the vine skin made her ticklish, wanting to move away.
"Who knows." Wei Jiayi said flatly. Since he was the original owner, the vines were not searching for anything. The vines inside Gao Lan Mei might have found something interesting, wanting it as an exchange token.
The vines did get out of her sleeves with a pouch and a snake after a short while. The snake made Wei Jiayi wonder. "What is a snake doing there?" he blurted out.
Ignoring him again, she asked instead, "Are these its exchange tokens?" It seems that the herb already got its tokens without going inside the storage house.
