The Qingqiu Secret Realm is a mystical place that moves around constantly, circulating through different regions of the Spirit Realm.
So for a Spiritual Beast without the Qingqiu Bloodline to enter the Qingqiu Secret Realm is nearly impossible.
Chen Mo never expected that it was actually Senior Qing Yan who took the initiative to meet with Senior Thunder Dragon, and he didn’t know what kind of past the two had.
"However, judging by the amount of electronics Senior Qing Yan brought back to the Qingqiu Secret Realm, it seems that this online romance turned real-life meeting didn’t go awry, and both parties were quite satisfied."
Hmm, thanks to his role as the matchmaker!
"Senior Qingling, do you know what kind of flavors Senior Chun prefers in food?"
On the way, Chen Mo asked.
The Life Ancient Tree, named Chun, was said to be an ancient tree from antiquity that grew over countless years into its current "World Tree" appearance.
Chen Mo’s inquiry about the tree’s taste preferences was naturally to cater to its liking.
After all, he was there to ask the tree for a favor, and Chen Mo planned to use his best culinary skills to "strategize"!
"Likes spicy food, the spicier the better."
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox said with a beaming smile.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
Spicy dishes, that’s his specialty!
In Sichuan cuisine, there’s no shortage of spicy dishes!
Under the lead of the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox, Chen Mo quickly arrived in front of the Life Ancient Tree.
This was Chen Mo’s first time standing before the Life Ancient Tree, whose trunk was like an endless, arching, dark brown wall, stretching beyond sight.
Xiao Jiu and the other beasts were quite emotional, feeling a sense of insignificance in the presence of such a massive Spiritual Beast.
Xinghai’s gaze flickered, for even in its "Gigantic" state, compared to the towering tree, it seemed rather insignificant.
"Whoo—" (When can I grow to such a massive size?)
Its eyes were filled with longing.
"You’re the youngster who helped Qing Yan to produce offspring last time, aren’t you?"
As if sensing Chen Mo’s arrival, a kind and peaceful voice echoed in Chen Mo’s heart, calming his somewhat restless and anxious spirit.
Chen Mo nodded, then said:
"Senior, have you had dinner yet? I just so happen to have made some delicious food."
Saying this, he didn’t wait for the Life Ancient Tree to answer, and from his Space Ring, he took out spicy chicken, Sichuan hotpot, spicy fish slices...
The Life Ancient Tree initially wanted to say I appreciate the gesture, but upon seeing the endless stream of spicy delicacies Chen Mo was taking out of the Space Ring and the scent of spices wafting through the air,
It quickly changed its tune:
Subsequently, the Life Ancient Tree used a clone technique, shaping for itself the image of a green-haired handsome man.
With spiritual power as chopsticks, he elegantly picked up a piece of spicy fish, took a bite, and began savoring it delicately.
The next second, Senior Chun’s clone’s eyes lit up, as if an exclamation mark had appeared above his head.
Then, he couldn’t care less about manners, grabbing a spicy chicken leg with one hand and a spicy rabbit head with the other, gobbling them down like a whirlwind.
It had been a long time since he had tasted food that suited his palate so well!!
In no time, the dozen or so Sichuan dishes Chen Mo prepared were devoured.
Even Xiao Jiu and the other beasts were stunned.
Senior Tree is so down-to-earth!
And for you, a tree, to rave about spicy rabbit head and spicy gugu chicken, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?
The previous "respected elder" lens the Life Ancient Tree had in their minds had shattered.
After enjoying the meal, the Life Ancient Tree gave its highest accolade.
"Tell me! What brings you to me? If I can help, I will do my best to assist you."
The Life Ancient Tree naturally guessed that this human had a request and asked with a smile.
Of course, it wasn’t just because he had just eaten Chen Mo’s cooking.
Well... maybe a little bit.
Most important was the fact that Chen Mo helped the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Qing Yan to continue the bloodline, in a sense, saving the Qingqiu Secret Realm, so the Life Ancient Tree’s fondness for him was quite high.
"Senior Chun, this time I’m here to ask for your help with hatching an egg."
Hearing this, Chen Mo stated his purpose.
This time it was the green-haired man’s turn to be stunned.
Then he saw Chen Mo take out a Spirit Beast Egg from his Space Ring, as tall as he was.
"This Spirit Beast Egg might contain the descendant of the Ancestor Spirit Deer, and it needs the Life Water to hatch. I request your permission to place it in the Life Spring."
Upon seeing the Spirit Beast Egg that Chen Mo had taken out, the Life Ancient Tree was at first puzzled, then let out a sigh.
"I didn’t expect you couldn’t make it through either."
From above Chen Mo, the rustling sound of tree leaves came, with regret and reminiscence in the Life Ancient Tree’s voice.
Could it be that the Ancestor Deer Spirit who left this Spirit Beast Egg was an old "acquaintance" of Senior Chun’s?
While Chen Mo was lost in thought, the voice of the Life Ancient Tree echoed in his heart again:
"In fact, what’s incubating inside this Spirit Beast Egg is not the descendant of the Ancestor Deer Spirit but the Ancestor Deer Spirit itself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was taken aback.
He had thought that what hatched from the egg would be a cute little Spiritual Deer, but instead, it would be an ancestral figure.
If it had a bad temper, wouldn’t he have hatched an ancestor for himself?
Thinking this, Chen Mo even wanted to tell the Life Ancient Tree: perhaps he shouldn’t bother hatching this Spirit Beast Egg after all!
