The early summer was abuzz with cicadas.
It was the peak growing season for the Deep Blue Divine-Given Seed.
From a distance, Dragon Cypress saw its seventh broadleaf already unfurling.
"Azure!"
Dragon Cypress maneuvered the Dominating Throne closer, slowing down and hovering above the water's surface.
"Dragon Cypress!" Ink Orchid pointed with its claw.
Gazing directly below the third broadleaf, they saw the deep blue veins dotted with tiny green spots.
At first glance, it looked as though some pest insects had attached themselves.
With a sweep of spiritual power, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid ecstatically exchanged thoughts using Mental Power.
"Azure is bearing fruit!"
Dragon Cypress asked, "Azure, are you bearing fruit?"
"Yes," Azure replied.
"When did the flowers bloom?" Dragon Cypress continued.
"After you and Ink Orchid left."
Dragon Cypress was speechless. Their trip had taken a total of twenty-one days.
Azure obviously could not specify the exact day.
