Chapter 364 Playing Dirty

"Jealous, Brittany? Want to try it too?" Daniel teased.

"Get lost!" Before Brittany could even finish cursing, Daniel grabbed the old root and waved ittowards her. Just like before, he let go at the last moment.

"Smack!" The root tapped Brittany’s behind lightly.

"Ah!" Her cry was just as pleasant as Aiden’s had been, adding to Daniel’s amused state.

Daniel, holding the root, grinned cheekily at Brittany, "You scream quite beautifully!"

"Freak! Jerk! I'll kick you to death!" Brittany, enraged, kicked at Daniel with her high heels severaltimes. Given the tickling level of her attacks, Daniel naturally felt nothing.

Aiden snatched the root from Daniel's grip and looked at him with curiosity, "What’s the deal withthis old root?"

"It's no ordinary root; it’s a Millennium Spirit Root."

"Millennium Spirit Root?" Taking over the conversation, Brittany eyed Daniel curiously, "What'sthat?"

"A Millennium Spirit Root comes from a Spirit Tree that grows in places rich in spiritual energy,mostly found in the Spirit Realm, which doesn't exist in the human world. A Spirit Tree typically livesfor a thousand years, with those surviving five thousand years being an extreme rarity.

"Unlike other trees, after living for five thousand years, a Spirit Tree starts to grow in reverse. Ittransitions from expanding in girth to shrinking with each layer until it becomes just a root. After tenthousand years, it turns into this Millennium Spirit Root."

Daniel's explanation was straightforward, but after hearing it, Brittany scoffed dismissively. "Yeah,right!"

With a scornful laugh, she mocked, "You think I’m kindergarten-level gullible, don't you? Trying tofool me with that kind of tall tale?"

Meanwhile, Aiden put away the Millennium Spirit Root and the Blood Ganoderma.

Noticing something amiss, Daniel queried, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? These two items are quite valuable. What if you waste them? So, I need to storethem with me for safekeeping."

Aiden was about to play dirty; after all, playing dirty is second nature to some.

"Why should I leave those two items in your care?"

"Because you harassed me! You took advantage of me just now! Hence, I have to keep thesetreasures safe!"

"You're shameless!"

"I'm shameless? So what?"

"It's fine, actually. It's all good if you want to do that!"

Aiden gave Daniel a light kick, then said, "Considering your repeated disrespect towards me, I willkeep these treasures indefinitely. Until one day when I forgive you, only then will I return them toyou!"

"Fine! If Aiden wishes to safeguard these two treasures, then they’re yours to guard. After all, I'm inno hurry to use them; we've got time."
