Natural God's Gift

Azure Maple Lord carried Fourleaf and replanted it beside the God-given Lucky Clover Seed.

Azure Maple Lord instructed, "Little Fourleaf, you are now a fourth-stage spider. Your fate-bound Lucky Clover and Morning Glory have also passed the initial stage, the time when they are most likely to wither and die.

God-given seeds that have awakened a soul dislike other insects getting close to them.

There are no animals in my territory that can harm your fate-bound seeds, so I won't always be here to watch over you."

"I will protect my fate-bound seeds!" Fourleaf understood that the lord-level spider wasn't its nanny; it had its own tasks. It was already very good of it to guard the God-given seeds for half a year.

Azure Maple Lord said, "When you have time, have Tiger Cane take you to plant the God-given Mangrove Seed."

"Okay." Fourleaf agreed. The God-given Mangrove Seed needed to be planted by the sea. After the fifth stage, the God-given Rapeseed Flower Seed also needed to be planted. It would have a large area to watch over.

In the future, there might be God-given Date Palm seeds. Looking further ahead, it would have other fate-bound seeds. As a small spider, it would really be too busy. How did other spiders manage?

Fourleaf asked, "Azure Maple Lord, do God-given seeds dislike other spiders being near them?"

Azure Maple Lord: "After a God-given seed awakens a soul, it instinctively rejects other beings near it. It fears that other animals will harm it."

Fourleaf: "Then why isn't the God-given Sea Soul Fir Seed afraid of us?

Azure Maple Lord: "The Sea Soul Fir is already a king-level God-given seed. We can't harm it.

Moreover, after countless years of baptism, its wisdom has reached an extremely high level. It can distinguish between good and bad insects itself."

Fourleaf quickly said, "Can I also teach the God-given Lucky Clover Seed how to distinguish between good and bad insects?"

Azure Maple Lord: "You can, but the God-given Lucky Clover Seed is in the enlightenment stage, so you need to be patient."

Fourleaf raised its small pedipalps and waved them excitedly, "I will definitely teach Lucky Clover that Azure Maple Lord and Mountain Lord Tiger Cane are good spiders!"

Azure Maple Lord:

"Wait until you've finished your classes at Hundred Fruit Forest before you say Mountain Lord Tiger Cane is a good spider!"

"Ah? What's wrong?" Hearing Azure Maple Lord say this, Fourleaf suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's nothing," Azure Maple Lord didn't want to say more, but gave it a look with each of its eight eyes, letting it figure it out for itself.

Fourleaf asked timidly, "Azure Maple Lord, Mountain Lord Tiger Cane won't hang me up and beat me, will it?"

Azure Maple Lord: "Who knows? I only know that you and Bai Zhi secretly left the kingdom, and it was very angry, and hung up Ze Xie and spanked its butt until it was swollen."

"Ah?" Hearing Azure Maple Lord say this, Fourleaf's heart immediately turned to ashes. Ze Xie was just an accomplice and was already so miserable, so wouldn't its butt and Bai Zhi's, as the main culprits, be beaten to a pulp?

After Azure Maple Lord finished speaking, it leisurely left, leaving only the despondent Fourleaf lying under the Lucky Clover.

After Azure Maple Lord left, the God-given Lucky Clover Seed dared to convey its mental energy. It didn't understand what Azure Maple Lord and Fourleaf were talking about, and emitted a confused mental thought: "Fourleaf, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," the God-given Lucky Clover Seed didn't understand anything, and it was useless to tell it anything.

Fourleaf refocused its attention on the Lucky Clover. It saw that the soil below the God-given Lucky Clover Seed was a little dry, and said actively, "Lucky Clover, do you need me to water you?"

Lucky Clover: "Water? What is water? Why water? I want primal stones."

Fourleaf: "Uh—"

Lucky Clover was still in the enlightenment stage, and everything needed to be taught.

Fourleaf went to the temporary nest it had made to guard the Lucky Clover before Azure Maple Lord arrived. It rummaged around inside for a long time and found a bamboo tube.

It carried the bamboo tube and ran to a nearby stream to fetch a tube of water to show the God-given Lucky Clover Seed: "Lucky, this is called water. It's too hot in the kingdom in summer. I'll give you more water to cool down."

With that, it poured a tube of water onto the roots of the Lucky Clover. The originally dry soil was instantly soaked.

"Water, I want water, I want lots and lots of water." The God-given Lucky Clover Seed felt the coolness of the water transmitted to its trunk, allowing it to feel a coolness it had never felt before in the hot summer, and its soul began to rejoice.

The God-given Lucky Clover Seed urged, "Fourleaf, give me more water."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll give it to you." Fourleaf carried the bamboo tube and continued to shuttle back and forth between the stream and the God-given Lucky Clover Seed.

The water in the stream was mountain spring water that flowed down after the ice and snow on the mountains where the Abyss was located melted. It not only didn't have the saltiness of seawater, but also had a hint of sweetness.

Since the God-given Lucky Clover Seed awakened its soul, it hadn't rained in the kingdom. Azure Maple Lord was afraid of scaring it by getting too close, so it hadn't watered it much recently. This was the first time it had been watered, so it was no wonder it was so excited.

Fourleaf ran back and forth more than a dozen times, fetching more than a dozen tubes of water, exhausting itself until it was panting. It only rested under the tree after the soil around the roots of the Lucky Clover was completely wet.

Lucky Clover seemed to be addicted to being watered. Even though it had already been watered enough, it was still urging:

Fourleaf, I still want water, I still want lots and lots of water."

"No," Fourleaf refused decisively, "I've already watered you enough today. If you water too much, your roots will rot."

"Rot?" The God-given Lucky Clover Seed asked a question common to those in the enlightenment stage.

Fourleaf shushed it, "It means your roots will break down, then they won't be able to absorb nutrients, and then you'll die."

"Will I die?" The God-given Lucky Clover Seed panicked, "Then why did you water me? I don't want water anymore, take the water away quickly."

Fourleaf: "...—

"Watering appropriately can ensure your growth. If there is no water, you will wither. Water, soil, and sunlight are all indispensable parts of a plant."

The God-given Lucky Clover Seed felt confused, "Watering will kill me, and not watering will make me wither? So should I water or not?"

Azure Maple Lord said that God-given seeds that have just awakened their souls need to be taught well, so Fourleaf patiently explained, "You can't not water, and you can't water too much. I will control the amount of water you get."

God-given Lucky Clover Seed: "Don't hurt me."

Fourleaf: "How could I hurt you! We have a soul bond and are one. Hurting you is hurting myself."

Hearing Fourleaf say this, the God-given Lucky Clover Seed finally felt much more at ease.

"Fourleaf, didn't you just say there were primal stones? Give me some more."

"Primal stones are very expensive and must be saved for critical moments. You can usually absorb natural primal force." Fourleaf was thinking about whether it should move its nest next to the Lucky Clover, so that it would be easier to take care of the God-given seeds.
