Just as it was about to charge at the zombie, a Wind Blade appeared instantly, hitting it and producing a crisp sound.
The sound was like jade striking, very crisp and pleasant to the ears.
Fang Yuxin watched the entire process and then, to her surprise, she discovered that the Wind Blade hadn’t harmed it; instead, it was easily blocked by the scale-like leaves on its body.
However, although it wasn’t injured, Yu Yang’s attack had angered it. Its body suddenly lifted, resembling a snake, raising its flower bud high with the spiral teeth inside aiming toward Yu Yang.
The teeth kept rotating, looking like they were ready to attack at any moment.
Fang Yuxin thought for a moment and flicked a soybean-sized glob of Wood Element Spiritual Energy at it. The Mutated Crystal Orchid cautiously turned its bud toward her, but as the glob of Wood Energy approached, it seemed to sense something and didn’t evade; instead, it actively shot out its bud and swallowed the glob of Wood Energy.
The action carried a somewhat eager intent.
As the Wood Energy was swallowed, the bud was aimed at Fang Yuxin. She then felt a faint and blurry thought: "want... more..."
Although the Mutated Crystal Orchid was still a parasitic plant, its growth also required Wood Element Spiritual Energy. After swallowing the glob of Wood Energy, it recognized the benefits the Wood Energy brought and greedily wanted more.
Fang Yuxin, feeling the weak thought, could finally sense it. She flicked another soybean-sized glob of Wood Energy and sent a thought through her Spiritual Sense to the Mutated Crystal Orchid: "Recognize me as your master, and I’ll give you more Wood Energy."
However, although the Mutated Crystal Orchid had fortunately developed a semblance of thought, it was very weak, weaker than a one-year-old infant. It couldn’t understand Fang Yuxin; after a long attempt to communicate and several more globs of Wood Energy, she finally managed to subdue the Mutated Crystal Orchid and sign a contract with it.
She pricked her fingertip and squeezed out a drop of blood, then used her thoughts to shape the blood into a Blood Talisman. As the Blood Talisman merged into the body of the Crystal Orchid, the contract was established.
Afterward, the body of the Mutated Crystal Orchid rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a flash of white light that shot toward Fang Yuxin, coiling around her wrist. Once shrunk, due to its translucent body and white color, it resembled a Mutton Fat Jade bracelet. Its scale-like leaves also became fitting, resembling delicate engravings on the bracelet.
The bracelet was cool to the touch, emitting bursts of vegetative fragrance, and was unspeakably fitting on Fang Yuxin. Looking at it in this form, no one could guess that it was once a ferocious Mutant Plant.
Even Yu Yang and Shang Jinxiu, who had witnessed the entire process, found it utterly unbelievable!
They quickly approached Fang Yuxin, with Yu Yang walking ahead. Before he even reached Fang Yuxin, he asked anxiously, "Xinxin, won’t there be any problems wearing it on your body?"
