Idiot bird!

The vines curled over the rose designed pouch and the little black snake. It seemed to be playing with its spoils.

Removing all the content of the poach using its vines, four bright green pills fell to the ground.

Moving with consciousness, the purple rose herb discarded the little black snake and greedily grabbed the pills on the ground using its vines, feeling the spiritual energy coming from each pill.

This action showed that it found the things inside the rose pouch to be more interesting. For Gao Lan Mei it was good that the herb ignored the little black snake, else Yen Mingjue would rant non-stop.

Shiiii!

Shi!

Zap!

There was the strange sound coming out of the purple rose herb showing its delight with what it found.

After realizing what was going. Those that knew how valuable the pills are would definitely feel that it was a waste to lose them to a plant! 

"Vice-captain! That's the pills!" the dark green Oni masked protector exclaimed. He really wanted to be on the Gao Lan Mei's good side, by shutting up, however, if the pills are eaten by a plant, wasn't that a waste?

"The herb already has it!" he really felt bad about the situation and was itching to do something about it.

The rest of the protectors who learned about the pills that gave the two the chance to increase their ranks eyed the pills as well. Hoping to have a chance to get one in the future. Deciding that they would do their best to be on Gao Lan Mei's good side.

To avoid making the pills go to waste, he dived near the purple rose herb vine and tried to grab the pills but failed as the vines immediately felt the incoming threat and moved its vine holding the pills under its leaves.

The action was like a child hiding its candies from the others.

Seeing this, "Idiot bird! Do not touch it!" Gao Lan Mei abruptly exclaimed. If the herb wanted the pills, it could have it. The higher the herb's degree, the better the benefit was anyway.

The idiot bird, aka, the dark green Oni masked protector was kicked by Gao Lan Mei on the legs while he was on the ground.

Feeling remorse that he failed to save the pills or because he was kicked by the young miss, "I am sorry young miss. I failed," his tone was so disheartening, Gao Lan Mei was not sure of what to say.

Wei Jiayi seemed to ignore the rest, and just gazed at the purple rose herb, on its vines which held the bright green pills, "These pills, are they what I think they are?" He asked, not looking at the Gao Lan Mei but the question was directed at her.

He noticed that the bright green pills were only on earth stage one, but the condensed spiritual energy on it was already exceptional. If he was not mistaken, this was made for spiritual gathering energy.

With a nod, "Yes." Right now, the herb was crushing the bright green pills to its stem, the murmured delight coming from it is heard. By doing this, it seemed that the pills were being absorbed by the herb.

Pointing at the action of the herb, "I believe, with this, you are already an owner as well." The pills surely made the herb happy. If that's not an indication that it accepted Gao Lan Mei, then what would be?

Adding, "All medicine that is from the Purple Rose herb, you will give me half of it." If she got her hands-on pills, surely the quality of the medicine she could produce is also high.
