Chapter 289 Need help
“Every time I come in, I am overwhelmed by this immense power of life.” Turner closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his arms, and fully felt it.
"So he always felt a sense of responsibility and always felt that the decline of the empire was an illusion." He glanced at Jiang Yu and saw a fleeting look of surprise and panic on her face, and he understood.
She really does know everything.
He turned to Jiang Yu, raising his index finger and lightly touching it to his lips: "This is a secret, my lord. Please don't ruin this beautiful dream."
Jiang Yu clenched her fists, suppressing her slightly trembling body. Turner didn't know how much he knew about her background, but he quickly sensed her awareness of the origin of the world, which was truly terrifying.
"Please rest assured." Jiang Yu humbly met Turner's eyes, and upon seeing his approval, immediately looked away and bowed deeply.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and bowed his head in a show of loyalty: "The Jiang family and the Lin family will definitely follow the will of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor."
Turner's smile deepened as he looked down at them and said lightly, "Your loyalty will be forever remembered by the Empire."
Then he turned around and said, "Get up and come with me."
The lush and verdant Mother Tree had built her own fortress and maze. After navigating another cluster of thick branches, Jiang Yu was greeted by an enormous table.
A huge, transparent crystal is carved into the shape of a flowing fountain. On this crystal-clear and sculpted table, five small fertility fruits are delicately placed.
This was the first time Jiang Yu had seen the Fertility Fruit up close. Firstly, the Fertility Fruit was too precious and fragile, and even when she occasionally saw people in the territory carrying them and hurrying by, she was too embarrassed to approach them.
Furthermore, the reproductive fruit is very fragile and private. After being paired with a master, if it comes into contact with too much of the scent of other people, it is very easy for it to become unstable or even die.
Everyone knows the consequences of necrosis. Compared to natural defects, the irreversible consequences caused by acquired factors are more fatal, and almost without exception, they can not escape the fate of being destroyed.
The fruit is not large, only slightly larger than an egg, but it is brightly colored and has various patterns.
Life is destined to be different from the very beginning.
Lin Yi was also attracted, and even his breathing became careful. This fruit seemed to have a pulsating heartbeat. If he ate it, he could have his own offspring.
He couldn't help but get closer and closer, until he was only a moment away from the first fruit. Jiang Yu reminded him, "If you haven't decided to choose it, you shouldn't get too close to it."
Lin Yi then came to his senses. The Fertility Fruit did indeed possess some kind of magic. He only glanced at it, but it was as if an invisible hand pushed him towards it, and he even felt a sense of being immersed in it.
He took a step back somewhat embarrassed and gave Turner an apologetic look. Turner smiled magnanimously and said, "It's alright, General. You should still choose carefully. There is an irresistible connection and attraction between men and fertility, but since this is a one-time opportunity, it's best not to rush things."
Lin Yi turned around and began to examine the five fertility fruits carefully.
The first one was actually pinkish-purple, which looked very dreamy. But he still remembered the feeling that it almost completely captured his mind at first glance, which made him a little scared. The fatal attraction was something he didn't want to have a second one besides Xiaoyu in his life.
But this color might look like a girl's, so Lin Yi hesitated and looked at the second one.
This one was rather unremarkable, with an earthy gold appearance and even the patterns were shallow, barely noticeable unless you looked closely, so Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to it. But when he passed by it and looked at the next one, something strange happened.
Jiang Yu saw Lin Yi stare at her with wide eyes and ask, "Xiao Yu, did you see that? It was glowing, just now."
Jiang Yu looked at the fertility fruit, which seemed ordinary and dull in color compared to the others, and slowly shook her head: "No." But whether it was her imagination or not, the moment she finished speaking, a golden light flashed across the golden-yellow fruit.
Now it was Jiang Yu's turn to hesitate, so she carefully said, "Perhaps it's trying to keep you here."
But... Lin Yi looked at the other fruits behind him, which were crystal clear and sparkling, and thought that the chaotic light was not convincing to him on the surface, but the light that had burst out just now was so dazzling that he could not ignore it.
"Your Highness..." Really conflicted, Lin Yi looked for help at another man present, but Prince Turner quickly took two small steps back under his gaze.
"General, why are you looking at me like that? I can't help you, I'm not even an adult yet! It's really inappropriate!" Turner coughed lightly, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Besides, the connection between the Fruit of Fertility and one's destined partner is not something to be told to outsiders." Turner couldn't help but tease, "You're too excited to remember that your family already gave you instructions on these matters a long time ago."
......
The scene was so awkward that Jiang Yu had to step in to smooth things over and save face for her husband.
"It's alright, Yi, just follow your heart. Whichever one you choose is fate." Jiang Yu looked at Lin Yi encouragingly: "His Highness said that there are no bad fertility fruits among these, so choose with confidence."
"Hmm." Lin Yi seemed to be greatly encouraged and finally made up his mind.
He examined the five fertility fruits in front of him one by one again, and finally stepped forward, picked up the earth-gold fruit, and said, "I've made my choice."
Now Jiang Yu and Turner both saw it: the golden patterns that had suddenly lit up on the originally dull and unassuming fruit.
“It certainly seems perfect.” Turner clapped his hands and turned to Jiang Yu: “Hey, I remember gold is the Lin family’s family heirloom, right? I’m not mistaken, Lord Jiang Yu?”
Seeing that Lin Yi had chosen, Jiang Yu finally relaxed. Hearing this, she laughed out loud from the bottom of her heart: "That's right, Your Highness, Yi and his whole family like gold very much."
"How interesting." Turner watched with amusement as Lin Yi carefully and almost clumsily carried the fertility fruit toward them, then beckoned to a servant.
"Let's find someone to teach this overly stressed young general a lesson. I think he needs help."
