Fire Lord Sofie 62 Why Are All The Spirit Fruits Named So Badly!?

The spirit garden market was filled with disciples from the sect walking around the place. The entire place was filled with all kinds of stalls, selling everything from spirit herbs to spirit pills. Going from one stall to another. The disciples present created a lively environment as they chatted with each other and bought spirit pills and herbs from the stalls.

Sofie took in the lively scene and immediately focused on a small building standing towards the centre of the spirit garden market.

The small building, unlike the stalls, was a building and not a stall. This alone represented that what was being sold there was of higher quality than the stalls, but in the end, there were still quite a few buildings and even some bigger than the small building Sofie had focused on.

"Let's go there!"

Pointing at the small building enthusiastically, Sofie grabbed hold of Yang Meng left arm and started dragging him towards the small building.

"Spirit Fruit Paradise?"

Glancing towards the sign hanging above the entrance to the small building, Yang Meng soon understood why Sofie suddenly became excited all of a sudden… Out of the many small buildings at the spirit garden market. Only one had spirit fruit in its name…

The building itself was decorated in a somewhat cute fas.h.i.+on, with red, blue, pink and yellow flowers sitting in flowerpots hanging from the side of the small building. More than a place to buy spirit fruits, it gave off the vibe of a place where you bought spirit herbs instead of spirit fruits. The only thing giving away that the place sold spirit fruits was its name.

Entering the small building with Xiao Yao quickly following behind both of them. Sofie and Yang Meng were both marvelled at the many spirit fruits that were neatly lined up inside the building.

Looking at the surrounding spirit fruits, Sofie attentively observed the small signs below the spirit fruits.

"Low mortal-grade death energy fruit, 200 mission points. Mid mortal-grade lake spirit fruit, 1500 mission points… Wh what is this!? Why are they so expensive! And none of them sound delicious...!" Feeling depressed to the extreme upon reading the prices and names of the spirit fruits, Sofie could not help herself from blurting out her thoughts.

""…""

The surrounding disciples who were inspecting the spirit fruits and buying them at the moment all turned speechless and looked to see who complained about the spirit fruits… To be honest, most of the disciples were not shocked because someone complained about the high prices, something like that was quite normal and happened from time to time… But someone complaining about the name of the spirit fruits not sounding delicious enough, that was new…

The disciple standing and selling the spirit fruits at the moment shook a bit upon hearing how the spirit fruits did not sound delicious enough.

Turning around like the rest of the disciples, he looked at the little girl, who he presumed to be a new disciple.

The girl in question had no idea how much she had confused the surrounding disciples. All she could do was lament at the fate of spirit fruits, whoever named spirit fruits should be struck down by the heavens to atone for their sins.

It's a fruit, okay? Why did you have to name a fruit something like 'Death refinement spirit fruit'? How do you expect me to eat something like that? What about 'Soul splitting spirit fruit'?

Feeling her resentment rise by the minute the more spirit fruits she saw, Sofie was just about to feel all hope was lost for the future of spirit fruits, when she saw it.

[Low mortal-grade sweet orange spirit fruit, 50 mission points]

Looking at the name that actually sounded like a something a fruit had, Sofie also saw the cheap price and immediately made her way to the fruit.

Beneath the sign of every spirit fruit, a small description of the spirit fruit and its use was written. Looking beneath the sign of the sweet orange spirit fruit, Sofie immediately spotted the small description of the spirit fruit.

[Sweet orange spirit fruit: A spirit fruit that tastes like oranges, but a little sweeter. The uses of the spirit fruit are close to nothing and the spirit fruit can be considered mostly useless.]

Light slowly appearing in her eyes, Sofie quickly grabbed the sweet orange spirit fruit under the eyes of all the surrounding disciples and made her way to the counter.

"I want this!"

"…"

"h.e.l.lo…? I want to buy this!"

Hearing no response from the disciple standing at the counter, Sofie tried calling out to him again.

"Y-yes, it will be 50 mission points." Returning from his bewildered state, the disciple quickly took out some weird magic tool and handed it to Sofie.

"You have to touch it with your sect badge and transfer 50 mission points like how Yue Wan transferred 50 mission points to us!" Seeing the confused look on Sofie's face, Yang Meng quickly moved in from the side and whispered to her in a low voice so the nearby disciples couldn't hear him.

"Ah!"

Seemingly thinking about something for a moment, Sofie took out her sect badge and held it up against the weird magic tool. Following this, the magic tool let out a weird clicking sound and the disciple standing behind the counter quickly took it back again.

"Thanks for your purchase~" Saying so in a voice not befitting of him, the disciple behind the counter tried his best to give off a business smile.

"!"

Sadly, for the disciple behind the counter, this only resulted in Sofie being scared at the sudden change. Causing her to draw away from the counter at record speed, warily looking at the disciple behind the counter one last time before turning her attention to the spirit fruit in her hands.

"… D-did I do something wrong?"

Not knowing why Sofie suddenly drew away like a frightened animal meeting a predator, the disciple turned around and asked another disciple sorting out spirit fruits behind him.

"That was your own fault… Never do that voice ever again, it doesn't suit you and never will…"

The disciple sorting out spirit fruits looked up at the disciple standing at the counter and shook his head while reprimanding him for his earlier mistake.

The sketchy smile on his big face, coupled with that cutesy speech and manly voice… Anyone would run upon encountering something like that…

…

As the man standing behind the counter felt like breaking into tears at any given moment, Sofie had placed her full attention on the spirit fruit in front of her and had already forgotten the creepy disciple from earlier.

The sweet orange spirit fruit was not orange in colour, but completely yellow with a few red spots on its skin.

Inspecting the spirit fruit with all her might, Sofie could not find out how she was supposed to eat it.

Maybe I should just eat the entire thing?

Thinking this, Sofie closed her eyes and under the shocked gazes of the surrounding disciples, stuffed the entire spirit fruit into her mouth, chewed on it for a bit and swallowed.

Fully satisfied upon tasting the sweet taste of oranges, Sofie let out a satisfied burp before turning towards Yang Meng and smiling. Encouraging him to try one as well.
