Chapter 108 Immortal Fruit Gathering
Chapter 108: The Wonderful Fairy Fruit Gathering
After resting at the inn for a night, Liu Yu and his companions continued their journey, full of energy. That day, they arrived at a mountain shrouded in ethereal mist, where they heard a grand celestial fruit festival was being held.
Upon hearing about the magical fruit, Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Let's go take a look, maybe we can try some!"
The group climbed the winding mountain path and finally reached the summit. There, they found the Immortal Fruit Festival in full swing, with a dazzling array of rare and exotic fruits on display, emitting an enticing aroma.
Liu Yu rushed to a stall and saw a bright red fruit that looked like an apple but wasn't. He picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and then spat it out with a "whoosh".
The stall owner next to him said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Sir, this fruit needs to be cooked before you can eat it. It's no wonder it doesn't taste good if you eat it raw like this!"
Liu Yu smiled awkwardly and quickly put the fruit down.
They continued walking and came to a huge stage where a celestial being was introducing a magical fruit that, it was said, could greatly increase one's magical powers.
The immortal was holding the celestial fruit, speaking animatedly, when suddenly a small bird flew over and snatched the fruit away. The immortal was so anxious that he jumped up and down on the stage, while the audience below burst into laughter.
Liu Yu laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "This immortal is so unlucky!"
Just then, Xu Xian saw a pale yellow fruit, shaped like a peach, and smelled especially fragrant. He was about to reach out and take it when a child snatched it away first.
The child took a bite of the fruit, but frowned and said, "This fruit isn't sweet at all, it's not tasty!" Then he threw the fruit away.
Liu Yu picked it up, took a bite, and said, "It's quite sweet! This kid is so picky!"
As they strolled around, they came across a competition area where a contest to eat magical fruits was being held. The contestants had to eat the most magical fruits within a set time.
Liu Yu volunteered to participate. When the competition started, he wolfed down the fairy fruit and ate more than half of it in no time.
But as he was eating, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, clutched his stomach and cried out, "Oh no, I've eaten something bad!"
Everyone burst into laughter. It turned out that the kind of magical fruit he was eating couldn't be eaten in large quantities, or it would upset his stomach.
Xiaoqing quickly helped him to the side to rest.
After resting, Liu Yu and the others continued their stroll. They saw a stall selling a purple fruit that was said to grant dreams.
Liu Yu didn't believe it and said, "There's no such thing as a magical fruit. It must be a scam."
The stall owner said, "You can try it if you don't believe me. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay."
Liu Yu bought one with some skepticism, ate it, closed her eyes, and wished for lots and lots of money.
He opened his eyes, but nothing had happened. He said angrily, "It was a lie after all!"
Just as she finished speaking, a pile of leaves suddenly fell from the sky. Liu Yu said, "What's this?"
Xu Xian laughed and said, "You wished for lots and lots of money, and these leaves are also 'money' (front)!"
Liu Yu shook her head helplessly.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen discovered a blue fruit, which the stall owner said could make people smarter if eaten.
Liu Yu quickly said, "Then I'll have to eat a few more."
He ate several in one go, then said smugly, "I'm definitely super smart now!"
He had just finished speaking when he bumped into a tree and got a big bump on his head.
Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Is this the result of you becoming smarter?"
Liu Yu touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
The Immortal Fruit Gathering was drawing to a close. Although Liu Yu and his friends made quite a few jokes, they had a lot of fun.
They left the mountaintop and continued on their journey.
As they walked, they came to a small town. A temple fair was being held in the town, and it was bustling with people.
Liu Yu saw a mask stall, picked up a Sun Wukong mask, put it on, and began to imitate Sun Wukong with exaggerated gestures, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
A child ran over and said, "Big brother, you acted so well!"
Liu Yu said proudly, "Of course!"
They continued strolling through the temple fair and saw a juggler performing a bowl-balancing act. The performer carefully walked around with more than a dozen bowls balanced on his head.
Liu Yu cheered loudly from the side, but the noise was so loud that it startled the artist, causing all the bowls to fall and shatter.
The artist looked at Liu Yu helplessly, and Liu Yu said apologetically, "I'm sorry!"
Just then, colorful balloons floated into the sky; it turned out to be a balloon vendor hawking his wares.
Liu Yu bought several balloons to give to Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen, but accidentally let go, and all the balloons flew away.
He jumped up to try and grab it, but he couldn't reach it no matter what he did, which made everyone burst into laughter.
After visiting the temple fair, they went to a restaurant for a meal.
Liu Yu ordered a large table of dishes and ate with great relish. Suddenly, he discovered a bug in one of the dishes and shouted, "Boss, how come there's a bug in this dish?"
The boss came over, took a look, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll get you a different one."
Liu Yu said, "You have to give me a discount on this meal!"
The boss had no choice but to agree.
After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and continued on their way.
As the sun set, their figures gradually disappeared into the afterglow, leaving one wondering what interesting things awaited them ahead...
