Chapter 1156: Family of Three (3)

“This fruit can increase the rate of absorption of your source of life. You should have already sensed this. The reason why this fruit cannot be placed in the interspatial ring is because it is a living being, different from ordinary fruits. Even after it is plucked, it will not wilt and dry up. It will naturally grow and maintain its best state.” Yue Xi patiently explained.

Shen Yanxiao was surprised.

After it was plucked, it was still considered a living being?

That was unheard of.

“How many of these fruits do you have?” Shen Yanxiao finally understood why Tian Bao was not afraid of not selling any fruits. It seemed like these fruits had a very long shelf life.

Yue Xi looked at those fruits piled in the corner and forced a smile. “What you see is everything.”

Shen Yanxiao frowned. Even though there were many fruits, she intended to use them for a long time as they had a special effect. She was afraid that she would finish them very soon. Just a moment ago, she sensed that the effect brought about by the fruit had dissipated, returning her rate of absorption to its original level.

According to Shen Yanxiao’s calculations, the duration of the effect lasted for about an hour.

Even if she only trained for ten hours a day, the fruits in the room could only support her for two to three months.

“Are you unable to get any more of these fruits?” Shen Yanxiao felt that if that was the case, it would be too much of a pity. It was rare for her to find something good, but it seemed her luck was limited.

Yue Xi directly shook his head.

“These fruits belong to the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe. The ones in my hands are merely what I have acc.u.mulated in the past. Now that I have been banished to a cyan-level city, I no longer have the qualifications to obtain any more fruits.”

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Banishment was a punishment prepared for the elves in upper-level cities. Even though the elves could work hard to improve themselves and advance toward an upper-level city, they still needed to abide by the rules of the city. Once an elf committed a mistake, they would be deprived of their source of life by the high-ranked tribes and banished to a cyan-level city.

Banished elves had committed serious crimes.

An elf’s source of life was equivalent to a human’s battle aura and magic. Removing it was equivalent to completely destroying a human’s livelihood, turning them into a cripple.

Shen Yanxiao was curious as to what kind of terrible crime did such a gentle-looking elf commit to be exiled.

Such cruel punishment did not seem to match the elf in front of her.

Yue Xi looked at his children with a bitter smile. He was no longer a complete elf. Without his source of life, his physical strength was inferior to his children.

“Customer, I see that you seem to require these fruits?” Yue Xi asked.

Shen Yanxiao nodded.

Yue Xi hesitated for a moment and looked at Shen Yanxiao with some hesitation. “Perhaps I can tell you the method to obtain them, but can you answer a question first?”

“Sure,” Shen Yanxiao answered decisively.

Yue Xi was silent for a moment. Soon after, he mustered up courage and took a deep breath. “Do you… know of a human named Shen Yu?”
