Chapter 1735: The Fragrance Requiting Peach Blossom
“What’s this for?”
The two branches looked withered and dark yellowish. It looked just like your ordinary dead branch. There was nothing special about it.
But after he caught the branch, he immediately noticed that the stench clinging to his body was slowly being absorbed into the dead branch. In fact, the dead branch was slowly becoming green and vibrant over time as if it was returning to life. Soon, green leaves grew out of its surface, and pink, delicate peach blossoms bloomed. They looked as pretty as young women.
After the peach blossoms bloomed, a thick but clear scent spread in the air. The scent smelled better than even peonies or wintersweet.
Just a short while later, the stench clinging to their bodies had been fully replaced by the scent of peach blossoms.
“Is this... the Fragrance Requiting Peach Blossom?”
The Fragrance Requiting Peach Blossom was the flower of a Fragrance Requiting Peach Tree. There was a saying called, “Requite evil with good.” In this case, it was requite stink with fragrance. Hence the name.
The Fragrance Requiting Peach Tree was a miraculous tree that only grew in smelly places. It nourished itself via absorbing stenches to bloom the prettiest and most fragrant peach blossoms. It was abn unintentional yet wonderful reflection of the idiom, “Requite evil with good.”
The most incredible thing about the tree was that even a single broken branch or yellowed leaf could return to life as long as it appeared at a smelly location.
The dead branch he was holding could only be the branch of the Fragrance Requiting Peach Tree.
“Where on earth did you find a Fragrance Requiting Peach Tree?”
Ye Qing was pleased as a matter of course. The presence of this branch would keep him from smelling like a dumpster for years to come.
