After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 279 Green Silk Bracelet

Looking at the colorful jewelry in the shop, Shen Xu was a little dazzled. Although he wanted to give Lin Qingxiang a piece of jewelry, he had not yet decided which one to give her.

"Brother Zhong, do you have any suggestions?"

"That depends on where Miss Lin stands in your heart. Different places require different gifts."

"What position?"

Shen Xu hesitated. He felt more guilty towards Lin Qingxiang and couldn't bring himself to make any promises to her.

"Let's be friends!" Shen Xu said slowly. He couldn't add any more constraints to himself.

Zhong Wei gave Shen Xu a deep look, and then said, "In Yunyang Kingdom, if you want to give jewelry to a female friend, then a rattan bracelet is a good choice, but it must be made by hand."

He Yu looked at Zhong Wei with some surprise.

A rattan bracelet? What a strange custom, but for someone with the essence of wood, making a rattan bracelet is a piece of cake.

Moreover, based on his experience on Earth, giving a girl a bracelet as a gift is unlikely to cause any misunderstandings.

Are there any requirements regarding the material?

"Of course, the better it looks and the more durable it is, the better."

In a deserted spot in the south of the city, Shen Xu took out an ancient tree seed and planted it in the damp soil in front of him.

He collected many seeds of various trees in the ancient forest, and the one he planted this time was a seed of the golden sandalwood.

This tree grows extremely slowly, which makes its wood exceptionally dense and sturdy. The inside of the branches of the Golden Sandalwood is golden yellow, with regular blue threads scattered throughout, making it exceptionally beautiful. Even in ancient forests, there are only five or six trees, making it a very precious tree.

"Don't tell me you're planning to plant trees at this time! They'll never grow!" Zhong Wei looked at Shen Xu's behavior with great confusion.

"Just watch." Shen Xu smiled, then began to use the power of wood to stimulate the growth of the seeds in the soil. He didn't need the trees to grow very tall; a single seedling could be made into a bracelet.

So, to the astonishment of Zhong Wei and He Yu, two tender buds broke through the soil's barrier and slowly emerged from under Shen Xu's palm. They then grew rapidly in the wind, reaching a height of one foot in just a short while, and the trunk became as thick as a finger.

At this moment, Shen Xu was covered in sweat. This was his first time trying this ability, and he hadn't expected it to consume so much of his Wood Essence and Soul Power.

With gritted teeth and a ferocious expression, Shen Xu controlled the relatively uniform part of the sapling in front of him, bending it into a perfect circle. After doing this, he collapsed to the ground.

"Is it that difficult?" Shen Xu gasped for breath, his mind drifting to the vines that Qing Yun used to bind the Earth Demon Bear.

"Shen Xu, are you alright?" Zhong Wei's concerned voice came through the phone.

"It's okay, just lie down for a while."

Looking at Shen Xu lying on the ground and the sapling bent into a perfect circle in front of him, Zhong Wei patted his face again before he could barely believe that everything in front of him was real.

After a while, Shen Xu felt his energy had recovered somewhat, so he rubbed his head and sat up, only to find that Zhong Wei and He Yu were sitting around the sapling just like him.

"Although I'm very curious to know how you did it, I know you definitely won't tell me," Zhong Wei said with some regret.

"Why can't I tell you?" Upon hearing this, the two of them looked at Shen Xu with a hint of surprise.

"I can do this entirely because of my talent," Shen Xu said with a smile, but the smiles on both of their faces instantly froze.

"Haha, I'm not kidding you guys anymore. Actually, it's based on the Dao. If you want to know more, go ask the Ancient Methods Research Association!"

"The meaning of the Dao?" Zhong Wei murmured, frowning.

“Grandpa said that most people in the Blood Central Realm have lost the ability to comprehend the Dao,” He Yu suddenly said.

"Why?" Zhong Wei asked immediately.

"Grandpa didn't say."

"There's probably a trade-off between gains and losses!"

Shen Xu reached out and cut the wooden ring in front of him, then used his water-related abilities to disperse the water within it.

Finally, peeling away the dried outer skin revealed the golden interior of the ring, with delicate green lines forming a magnificent pattern on it.

After slightly polishing the cut edges at both ends of the ring, Shen Xu examined it carefully in the sunlight, and a dazzling and beautiful wooden bracelet appeared before his eyes.

He didn't expect the results to be so good. It turns out that as long as the ingredients are good enough, even someone who can't cook can become a master chef.

Zhong Wei and He Yu were also amazed by the splendor of the wooden bracelet in Shen Xu's hand, and then they couldn't help but look at the seedlings in front of them.

"Heyu, do me a favor!" Shen Xu suddenly said.

……

Inside the Mojinfang store, Lin Qingxiang was looking out at the crowd outside. Although she already knew that Shen Xu would not come to see her again, she still hoped to see him again.

"Sister, don't look anymore. Your husband has done something so big, he'll definitely hide for a few days. He'll definitely come back to find you after a few days, otherwise where could he go?" Lin Xi looked at Lin Qingxiang with some helplessness.

"You don't understand." Lin Qingxiang's eyes revealed an indescribable sadness.

"It's almost evening, we don't need you here, you should hurry back to the academy! Your studies are important."

"Sister, our family is already a fourth-rank noble family. No matter how hard I try, it's impossible for me to get a third-rank noble family on the battlefield in a short time. Besides, President Gu has already taken you as his student. It's not certain whose studies are more important!"

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Qingxiang was stunned. Unknowingly, she had become the most important person in the Lin family.

Suddenly she noticed a child carrying a longsword almost as tall as himself walking into Mojinfang. This was very strange!

So she took the initiative to walk up to him, squatted down, and gently asked, "Where are your parents?"

"Someone asked me to give you this sword." He Yu handed the long sword he was holding to Lin Qingxiang.

"For me?" Lin Qingxiang asked, somewhat puzzled, after taking the sword.

"He said this sword was a gift from you, and he's returning it to you now."

"Is that so?" Lin Qingxiang looked at the long sword in her hand and smiled bitterly.

"But he also asked me to give this to you; he made it for you himself." He Yu held the wooden bracelet from his pocket in front of Lin Qingxiang.

"This..." Upon seeing the exquisite wooden bracelet before her, Lin Qingxiang couldn't help but cover her mouth, her emotions instantly stirred, but she calmed down after a moment.

"That guy probably doesn't know the meaning of such a bracelet!" Lin Qingxiang couldn't help but smile.

"Please tell him that I really like his bracelet, but I still hope that one day he can put it on me himself." Lin Qingxiang picked up the wooden bracelet and put it on her right wrist.

He Yu looked at Lin Qingxiang with a strange expression, then took out several porcelain bottles and handed them to Lin Qingxiang, "He also gave these to you. He said the contents inside can help you cultivate."

"You really can't completely let me go." Lin Qingxiang looked at the porcelain vase in front of her and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

“Tell him I will come to him, no matter how far away he is.” Lin Qingxiang’s voice was full of determination.
