The Law of Food Raising - 7

Chapter 7 - Maturity

For a moment, Wei Chen and others seemed to see flowers blooming behind her, in brilliant purples and reds. A burst of fragrance hit him, the pressure on his body relaxed, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

The familiar breath slowly soothed Samus rioting power, and his chaotic consciousness gradually became clearer. By the time Hua Duo came to his side, the external pressure had been completely restrained, like a tamed beast, quietly leaning against the girl's softness. 

A chill ran down Hua Duo's spine, feeling that part of the spiritual energy in her body had been sucked away.

Della stared at Hua Duo in shock, unable to believe how easily this girl calmed the out-of-control Samus. Can her frail little body stand up to Samus' strength? The most incredible thing is that Samus, in this case, he didn't hurt the girl at all!

While Guze breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a cold sweat for Hua Duo. Just now, as long as Samus lost control a little bit, the little girl's blood might be splattered on the spot!

He quickly bandaged his fingers and walked to Samus with Wei Chen.

Samus turned a blind eye to them, only looking at the flower blossoms, his eyes were terrifyingly deep, as if he wanted to devour her soul.

Guze and Wei Chen looked at each other and smiled bitterly to themselves. I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune, but Hua Duo’s future is probably destined to be bound by Samus.

"So, she is the girl you are planning to adopt?" In the bedroom, Della looked at Hua Duo with a curious expression.

Samus was leaning on the bed, playing with the ends of Hua Duo's hair, and said lazily, "Hmm."

"Where did you pick up this treasure?" Della pulled Hua Duo over, smelled her, and squeezed her. Oh my God, she feels so good!

Hua Duo covered her face and frowned.

"Ah, just be my adopted daughter!" Della shouted excitedly, "I will definitely love you well!"

Displeasure flashed in Samus' eyes. He stretched out his hand to pluck Hua Duo out of her arms, put it into his own territory, and said coldly: "She is mine."

"Tsk, the little cutie just fell into the hands of the devil." Della complained with regret.

"Cousin Della, I leave her affairs to you." Samus said, "I hope that in half a year, Hua Duo will become a member of the Oya family and have a formal identity."

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Della happily agreed.

"However," Samus added, "this matter will be kept secret for the time being. I don't want Hua Duo's existence to be discovered too early, so as not to attract unnecessary prying eyes."

"I understand this." After all, it was related to Samus' safety, and she had a sense of discretion in her heart. It was obvious from what had just happened that the problem of the parasitic vine was likely to fall on this little girl.

"Thank you very much." Samus thanked him firmly.

"Don't thank me too early." Della smiled maliciously, "There is one more thing I didn't tell you. In order to regain Kavos, the royal city held a meeting for a vote, and on the other hand, secretly encouraged the Bran family to marry you."

"Marriage?" A trace of ridicule flashed in Samus' eyes.

"Yes." Della folded her long legs and said ambiguously, "They are very sincere this time. The one who is planning to marry you is the youngest daughter of the Bran family, Abbey, a famous beauty in the royal city."

Samuel looked indifferent and had no reaction to the name. No matter who wants to marry him, there is only one purpose, and that is to take over Kavos after his death.

Do they really think he will agree to this marriage?

Della added: "Abbey will arrive in Kavos in a while, and she will be accompanied by several ladies from other families. Just be prepared to 'choose a wife'."

Samus frowned, with a sinister look on his face.

Hua Duo shuddered, and Samus subconsciously restrained his breath and touched her head comfortingly.

Della was secretly surprised. Did her cousin really regard her as his "daughter"? Why does she feel like something is wrong?

Before leaving the room, Della glanced at them again. Samus' possessive posture and doting eyes were too obvious. Should she warn her slow cousin? She thought about it and decided to forget about it. Hua Duo is very cute, but firstly she is too young, and secondly her origin is unknown. In this extraordinary period, it is better not to cause unnecessary complications. It's good to be an adopted daughter. The Oya family can raise an idler, but Samus cannot marry a weakling.

"My Lord, are you not going to tell Miss Della that Duoduo can cultivate natural plants?" Wei Chen asked.

"Well, the less people know about this matter, the better." Samus said solemnly, "Unless I die, how long can this matter be hidden?"

Wei Chen nodded to express his understanding.

Samus looked at Guze again: "Is your hand okay?"

Guze moved his fingers and replied: "It's not bad. I'll be fine after a few days of recovery. It's just a broken bone."

"I didn't expect that the parasitic vine would make me lose control so much when it became active." Samus looked at the girl in his arms. If it weren't for her, he would probably go completely crazy.

"In the future, you'd better not let Duoduo stay too far away from you." Guze said, "Drug control will cause backlash, but Duoduo's natural aura is different and can completely suppress the spread of the parasitic vine. I will try my best to develop a solution to reverse the effect of the parasitic vines, I hope Duoduo’s magic can really cultivate natural plants.”

"I believe in her." His girl will definitely not let him down.

"Chi Xiao." Della left Samus' room and happened to meet Chi Xiao who came after hearing the news. She put her arms around his neck, leaned into his arms, and said charmingly, "We haven't seen each other for a few months, miss me?"

Chi Xiao expressionlessly took her off his body and started to walk towards Samus' room.

"Don't worry." Della hugged his arm, "Samus is fine now and is cultivating a relationship with his...'adopted daughter'."

Chi Xiao paused and said, "Miss Della, please get out of the way, my time is precious."

"You really don't miss me at all?" Della pressed him against the wall, hooked his collar, and gently bit his Adam's apple, "Remember, you are the man I, Della, recognize. Don’t ever get rid of me in your life.”

"Okay." Della let go of her hand and said lazily, "You go ahead, I'm leaving."

Chi Xiao stood up straight, looked at Della's retreating back, his eyes darkened slightly, then turned around and walked straight towards Samus' room.

Della did not stay in Kavos for long, and returned to the Royal City two days later.

Half a month later, new grape vines covered the trellis, and the lush greenery added infinite vitality to the cold courtyard.

Standing under the pergola, Samus felt refreshed.

Hua Duo couldn't help but pick off a grape leaf, wipe off the dew on it, and put it directly into her mouth.

"You can also eat leaves?" Samus raised her chin and frowned, "Are you hungry?"

Hua Duo's mouth moved and her eyes curled up, indicating that it tasted good.

Samus poked her cheek, picked a grape leaf, put it into his mouth and chewed it.

Suddenly, he made a move, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Grape leaves themselves have no special taste, but the spiritual energy contained in them has obvious nourishing effects, which is not available in any processed food.

If the leaves alone have this effect, he can't imagine the amount of benefits the fruit would have.

Samus looked forward to it even more.

Hua Duo didn't think too much about it. As a rabbit that had been hungry for almost two months, it felt so good to finally eat something! She almost burst into tears!

"How long will it take for it to mature?" Samus asked.

Hua Duo held out ten fingers.

Samus said: "I will sleep here for the next ten days."

Hua Duo: "..."

Five days later, the grape vines were full of fruits. The purple fruits were plump and round, as beautiful as pearls. They hung in bunches on the vine branches, exuding a light fragrance, purifying and refreshing the turbid air around them.

Samus, Wei Chen, Chi Xiao and other key figures stood under the scaffolding, looking at the gratifying grapes in front of them, their joy was beyond words.

During this cultivation, Hua Duo followed up the whole process and spent a lot of spiritual energy. Therefore, the spiritual energy of this grape is the most abundant in the first crop. When it is promoted and planted for the second time, the quality will decline. However, its genes have successfully returned to their ancestors and will not mutate again unless there is an accident.

【Black grape, edible plant, grade E, medium quality, good fecundity, rich nutritional value, suitable for consumption. Efficacy: beautify the environment, purify the air, and supplement nutrition. (There is a 45% chance of advancement)】

Probability of advancement? In other words, this grape has a 45% chance of advancing from E-level to D-level?

Hua Duo thought to herself that it seemed necessary to continue nourishing it with spiritual energy in the future. Grapes are rich in nutrients and have certain medicinal value and nourishing effect. After the level is improved, not only the aura will be more abundant, but the vitality will also become more vigorous.

In addition to grapes, three other wild plants that Wei Chen found, namely, watercress, orchid leaf, and thorn melon, were also successfully cultivated and have just been transplanted into the yard.

*Watercress - Edible

*Orchid Leaves - Edible

*Thorn Melon - Edible

With the experience of grapes, Hua Duo is even more handy, because they are all E-class plants, and the success rate of cultivation is very high. It's just that the growth cycle of thorn melon is relatively long and it is not suitable for promotion for the time being. However, watercress and orchid leaves are easier to mature than grapes. Of course, the premise is that Hua Duo continues to nourish them with spiritual energy.

Hua Duo will personally handle the first batch of plants used for breeding. After they are promoted to a small scale, she will no longer have to worry about it.

"Lord," Guze said very quickly, "The elements contained in grapes can effectively inhibit the growth of parasitic vines and calcify them to resist damage and improve immunity!"

Samus: "...The conclusion is?"

"The conclusion is that as long as it is eaten for a long time, it can at least ensure that the parasitic vine will no longer spread!" In other words, as long as there is sufficient nutritional intake, Samus' life is guaranteed. This is entirely due to the natural plants cultivated by Duoduo, and her current importance is on the same level as Samus.

"Very good." The recent good news came one after another, and Samus was in a very happy mood.

But his good mood did not last long and was ruined by a troublesome incident. Letters from several families in the Royal City indicating their intention to marry were delivered to Kavos, along with five young and beautiful noble ladies.
