Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Inducing the Growth of Man-eating Flowers
Seeing Su Jin’s excited expression, Lu Hao also curiously took the box of seed gift set and looked at it.
“Did you find Man-eating Flower seeds?” asked Lu Hao.
“Yep! It should be it. I’ll try it in a bit!”
Su Jin’s cheeks flushed with excitement, which made Lu Hao want to pinch them.
“What? There really are Man-eating Flower seeds? Let me see!”
Lin Xiuyuan got up from the lounge chair when he heard that. He had only heard of the Man-eating Flower, but had never seen it, let alone its seeds.
...
Su Jin passed around a bottle of very small seeds for everyone to look at.
“They just look like ordinary seeds. Xiao Jin, why don’t you grow them so we can all take a look?”
Lu Guanhai was also curious about what the Man-eating Flower looked like.
“I can, but the Man-eating Flower… Its smell might be a bit unpleasant,” Su Jin cautioned, the Man-eating Flower, also known as the Corpse Flower, some people call it the Stink Flower, because it emits a stench. She had smelled it in her past life, and it was indeed somewhat disgusting…
“It’s okay, girl. If it stinks, I’ll just create a breeze to blow the smell away,” said Nie Qing, also wanting to see what the flower looked like. He had never heard of a flower that could eat people.
“Xiao Jin, when you actually grow that flower, it won’t really eat people, will it?”
Lin Yunguo was still somewhat apprehensive, as the name of the flower was quite frightening.
“It won’t, Grandpa. To this day, there’s no evidence that Man-eating Flowers actually eat people. Those are all just rumors.”
The usual Man-eating Flowers naturally wouldn’t eat people on sight, but the ones she grew, they would be in tune with her thoughts; it would eat whatever she instructed.
Seeing that no one objected, Su Jin carefully poured out a seed from the bottle and began to grow it.
The speed at which Su Jin grew plants was very fast; the tiny seed germinated, stretched, and grew at a visible rate, until a brownish-red small flower bloomed at the top. It was then that Su Jin smiled, as the appearance of the flower was undoubtedly that of the Man-eating Flower.
The brownish-red small flower quickly became larger and thicker. Although there were only five petals, each petal was 40 centimeters long, and the entire flower’s diameter had been grown by Su Jin to over one meter!
As the petals grew larger, a stench gradually filled the space. Nie Qing couldn’t help but create a gust of wind, which made the air feel slightly fresher.
There was a huge hole in the center of the flower surrounded by petals, but due to distance, everyone couldn’t see what was inside.
Nie Qing couldn’t help but float up and glance down into it, only to see a ring of dense serrations around the hole? Looking further down, it was a dark brownish-red. Since the smell from above was too strong, he quickly covered his nose and flew back down. freewebnøvel.coɱ
“It stinks so much, girl.”
Nie Qing was on the verge of tears and thought that perhaps it was better to let Su Jin put it away; the smell was too offensive.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine in a moment.”
Su Jin tried attaching the green vine in her palm to the Man-eating Flower. Xiao Cui seemed to accept it cheerfully, even shaking its large petals a few times.
Everyone watched in amazement as the small piece of vine that Su Jin had produced landed on the Man-eating Flower and then disappeared. Then, the Man-eating Flower started to shake like a Venus Flytrap, with the orifice in the center of the petals even symbolically closing twice.
Lu Hao wondered, could it be true that the special ability Xiao Jin mentioned before, the one that was alive, was real?
