Chapter 211: Little Sister Zi Yan at the Herb Repository Can I Have a Bite?
Wu Tian ignored the other herbs and reached straight for the fruit emitting both ice and fire attributes.
However, just as he was about to touch it
He sensed a sudden presence.
His hand paused for a fraction of a second.
And in that instant
A tiny, delicate hand appeared out of nowhere and snatched the red and white fruit right before his eyes.
Wu Tian turned to look at the owner of the little hand and smiled knowingly.
Standing beside him was a small girl, barely reaching his waist.
She wore a pure white robe, and her light purple hair cascaded down to her waist.
Her fair, porcelain like face was stunningly delicate, as if carved from jade.
Two large, black, crystal clear eyes blinked up at Wu Tian with innocent curiosity, carrying an inexplicable charm that stirred something deep within him.
As Wu Tian observed her closely, he noticed that besides the fruit, the girl also held a white lotus that had been growing beside it.
His eyes twitched slightly.
Then, he sighed helplessly.
Meeting this girl was no coincidence
She had always been here.
And in fact
Wu Tian had come specifically to find her.
This little monster was the true menace of the Inner Academy.
With her in the Ri Yan Alliance, no one would dare cause trouble.
Compared to his own deterrence, this girl's mere presence would send chills down the spines of every so called 'genius' in the Inner Academy.
After all
She was the undisputed, unchallenged, and rarely mentioned Rank One of the Strongest Ranking.
The infamous Zi Yan.
Her sudden appearance genuinely surprised Wu Tian.
"As expected from the daughter of the Ta She Ancient Emperor's guardian dragon..."
Even her arrival was beyond what normal people could detect.
Zi Yan blinked her innocent, sparkling eyes at Wu Tian for a moment
Then, without hesitation
She stuffed the white lotus into her mouth!
Wu Tian's eyes widened slightly.
She just ate it?
Even he felt a bit heartbroken watching such a rare treasure being devoured like a common vegetable.
Not to mention the Elder outside he'd probably cry blood.
Zi Yan's delicate little mouth showed zero hesitation.
Her tiny, pristine white teeth chewed away
"Crunch, crunch."
White lotus petals vanished one by one, and Zi Yan looked like she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
A few drops of milky white lotus juice slid from the corners of her rosy lips, making her look even more adorable.
She casually wiped her mouth with her soft little hands, her black eyes sparkling mischievously as she continued chewing happily.
The scene was simply too cute.
Something inside Wu Tian stirred
He suddenly wanted to taste it, too.
And so he did what he thought.
Wu Tian smiled faintly and asked:
"Can I have a bite?"
Zi Yan puffed up her cheeks, her big eyes flashing with rejection, and turned her head away.
Seeing her reaction, Wu Tian's lips curled into a dangerous smirk.
His hand shot out like lightning, aiming to snatch the lotus from her mouth.
But
The moment his fingers moved
Zi Yan's tiny hand also shot out at an alarming speed, instantly clamping down on his fingers.
Despite her hands being so small, her grip was shockingly strong.
It was impossible for someone her size to hold Wu Tian's hand down.
Yet
She did.
And Wu Tian knew why.
Her raw strength exceeded that of most Dou Wang powerhouses.
Even without using any Dou Qi, she could easily pin down his fingers.
Of course
Wu Tian hadn't actually used any force.
He was just playing with her.
Deliberately, Wu Tian pretended to struggle.
He wiggled his fingers, trying to pull away, but
Failed.
Then, he pushed slightly forward
Still stuck.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
His expression was perfect.
A look of helplessness and terror covered his face.
Zi Yan, seeing that she had trapped his hand, licked her lips and spoke in a crisp, childish voice:
"You want to steal my food?"
Her innocent tone didn't match the faint killing intent hidden within her words.
A young girl, adorable beyond words
Yet she exuded an eerie aura.
If Wu Tian wasn't aware of her true identity, he might have actually been scared.
But
Knowing who she really was, she just seemed even cuter.
Wu Tian met her black, crystal clear eyes
And suddenly
His "sis con" instincts kicked in.
Of course
If they were comparing actual age, Zi Yan was thousands of years older than him.
Wu Tian smiled indulgently and said:
"Little sister, is it tasty? Can I have just one bite?"
Zi Yan pouted and refused outright:
"No! I need to eat it to grow big! If I give it to you, I won't grow taller!"
Wu Tian chuckled:
"Little sister, growth takes time. You can't rush it like this it won't help you at all!"
Zi Yan shook her head vigorously and argued loudly:
"Time is useless to me! I don't grow like normal people! Only these herbs can help me grow fast! You're already big you don't need them!"
Wu Tian's eyes flashed mysteriously as he said:
"Even if you eat these herbs, you still won't grow. You're just fooling yourself."
Hearing this
Zi Yan's chewing slowed, and she stared at Wu Tian, puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Tian grinned.
Taking advantage of her distraction
He swiftly yanked his hand free and snatched the lotus from her grasp!
Zi Yan: "!!!"
Wu Tian held the lotus and, without hesitation
Bit into it.
The spot he bit was exactly where Zi Yan had just taken a bite.
For Zi Yan
It meant nothing.
For Wu Tian
It meant even less.
As a true guardian deity
Why would he care about something like that?
The moment the lotus leaf entered his mouth
Wu Tian realized
It was unexpectedly tough.
So
He activated a bit of flame, softening the leaf, and began chewing.
Crunch, crunch.
It was crisp, surprisingly refreshing, and tasted a bit like cabbage.
Almost like a simplified version of "Boiled Cabbage" from his past life.
The only difference?
It lacked broth and that initial burst of rich fragrance.
Zi Yan, pouting angrily, stared at him with expectant eyes.
Wu Tian laughed and said:
"What I meant was, no matter how many herbs or pills you eat, you still won't grow taller."
Zi Yan huffed:
"Liar! You stole my food, and now you're saying I won't grow? You deserve a beating!"
With that
Her tiny fist shot toward Wu Tian's stomach…
