Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 423 Revisiting the Prajna Fruit

Yun Han leaned weakly against Ning Xuan's chest. So close, he could smell the fresh scent of Ning Xuan's shower gel. He raised his arm and draped it over Ning Xuan's arm. Ning Xuan's arm was as smooth as ice and as delicate as jade. He looked at his arm and Ning Xuan's arm intertwined, and deep inside, he felt as if hot magma was boiling.

"This is called the nuptial cup ceremony. It's a ritual for couples in our area. After drinking this wine, you become one with the same fate, sharing joys and sorrows." Ning Xuan whispered in Yun Han's ear as she looked at him looking miserable.

Yun Han's ears were burning hot, and his whole body was burning hot. He and Ning Xuan touched foreheads and drank the nuptial wine. The cool wine slid down their throats and into their stomachs. The wine was mellow and spicy. After taking a sip, tears streamed down Yun Han's face.

He had long realized that he had fallen for Ning Xuan. If he hadn't fallen for Ning Xuan, he could have faced her treatment with equanimity no matter how she treated him. But once he fell for her, he couldn't help but have expectations of her.

Ning Xuan once provided high-level potions to the Tianwei Legion without regard for personal gain, protecting his subordinates, and showing him unreserved favoritism. In their interactions, her enthusiasm and gentleness were unreserved, causing him to become involuntarily immersed in her and fall in love with her.

He thought Ning Xuan treated him differently, which is why he had high hopes that she could reconcile with his family.

"Why are you crying? Does your body still hurt?" Ning Xuan retracted the vines, wiped away Yun Han's tears, looked at him gently, and gazed at his body.

"It hurts." Yun Han held Ning Xuan in his arms. He wasn't particularly sad, but tears kept flowing down his face.

Yun Han felt like a captured prey, unable to escape no matter how much she struggled.

"Alright, why are you being so delicate? Come on, I'll take you to take a bath, and then we'll go to sleep." Ning Xuan picked up Yun Han and carried him to the bathroom.

Di Youlin returned to his courtyard and had just finished taking a shower when his personal communication device rang. Di Youlin answered the call, and Di Jingtian's holographic image appeared. "Son, you really are alone in your room tonight. I told you you wouldn't be favored tonight, but your mother didn't believe me."

Di Jingtian's voice carried a hint of disdain, and his face wore a mocking expression.

Wen Yuebai pushed Di Jingtian away unhappily, "Our son is incomparably handsome. Ning Xuan's lack of affection for our son is due to her blindness. However, as long as she is not blind, she cannot possibly fail to see our son's beauty."

“Youlin, listen to your mother. Girls Ningxuan’s age like men with good figures who are affectionate, gentle and considerate. You have the looks, but that’s your temperament. Ningxuan has a strong personality and she definitely likes to go along with her. You must have left a bad impression on her at first. To change that impression, you need to spend some time getting to know her better.”

"Where would you find so much time? Youlin, have you asked about the Prajna Fruit? I only just found out that Ning Xuan has a lot of Prajna Fruits. These are really good things. Prajna Fruits can break the genetic lock in the body a second time. These are divine objects that can only appear in the Chaos God Realm. Can you get some from Ning Xuan?" Di Jingtian asked expectantly.

"Father, how did you know that Ning Xuan had the Prajna Fruit?" Di Youlin asked.

Upon returning from the Nova Planet, Ning Xuan instructed everyone who knew about it to never mention the fruit, nor to reveal any of their gains from the Nova Planet. Even now, more than a year later, Ning Xuan herself has not used any of the resources she obtained from the Nova Planet.

“Do you remember Guo Jia? He’s a member of the Guo family and the next successor of Starry Sky Academy. He said he watched Ning Xuan steal those fruits. Now that the seven major families know Ning Xuan has the Prajna Fruit, her situation will be very dangerous. Since you’ve chosen to be with her, don’t go to the army for now. Stay by her side and protect her. It’s easier to build a bond of shared hardship in times like these,” Di Jingtian said.

"Father, they should know about my relationship with Ning Xuan, right? Aren't they keeping it from you? Aren't they worried that you'll tell me this? Could there be something wrong with this?" Di Youlin asked suspiciously.

"What's there to hide? Since they're planning to go all out and cause trouble, how could they possibly escape my notice?" The seven major families have close ties with each other, yet they also guard against one another. If any of them makes a large-scale move, it's impossible for them to hide it from the others.

“Youlin, tell your father the truth, did Ning Xuan use the Prajna Fruit on you contractors? Lan Xin, your strength suddenly increased, did he use the Prajna Fruit?” Di Jingtian asked.

Lan Xin was just an ordinary half-orc slave before, but suddenly her strength increased greatly and she began to stand out, which aroused suspicion from all sides. When Guo Jia released the news that Ning Xuan had the Prajna Fruit, those who had long been suspicious connected the two things.

"I'm useless anyway. As for the others, I don't know." Of course, Di Youlin knew, but he couldn't say.

However, just by looking at Di Youlin's appearance, Di Jingtian could guess that Lan Xin's sudden increase in strength was probably directly related to the Prajna Fruit.

Since the Prajna Fruit can break the genetic lock, could we replicate Lan Xin's experience to enhance the strength of others?

Although success is not guaranteed, and failure could lead to death, it cannot be denied that this is a treasure capable of defying fate, especially for those who are on the verge of collapse due to genetic defects and have no other way to save them. This thing can change their destiny.

"Youlin, don't go back to the army yet. You must win Miss Ning's favor as soon as possible. You can also tell her that the major families know about the Prajna Fruit and tell her to be careful," Di Jingtian instructed.

He really wanted to meet Ning Xuan and see if he could exchange some resources for the Prajna Fruit from her. However, he also knew that the value of the Prajna Fruit was beyond what ordinary treasures could measure.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I know what to do," Di Youlin said earnestly.

“Youlin, your mood is much better than before after you linked with Ningxuan,” Wen Yue said, her eyes reddening.

Even when Di Youlin's mental sea didn't collapse, his temper was always terrible. After all, he had been affected by mental pollution and excessive alienation value since childhood. On the contrary, after establishing a mental link with Ning Xuan, his restless mental sea was calmed down by Ning Xuan, the mental pollution was cleared, and his mind felt a peace he had never experienced before. He was no longer troubled by splitting headaches.
