Chapter 5491

He gave Maria a hearty thumbs up. “Miss Clark, your intellect is truly remarkable. After your
explanation, I think I can understand Sanshin.”

Turning his attention back to the sprouting seedling, he inquired, “Are you certain this is the mother of
Pu’er?”

Maria’s nod was firm. “Absolutely. Her aura aligns perfectly with the mother of Pu’er’s. Coupled with
recent coincidences, I’m confident this is her.”

Charlie nodded, his voice a hushed murmur. “So, does that mean the mother of Pu’er has become a

Watching in distress, Maria couldn’t hold back her plea. “My Lord, please don’t…”

Maria’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice quivering. “Even if you were to eat my entire household, it
would still be preferable to consuming her leaves. She’s just emerged after three centuries, and you’ve
already taken two leaves. It’s heartbreaking…”

Charlie relented, the leaves safely back in place. “It’s alright. I’ve pulled these off, and they can’t be
reattached. At most, only two leaves have been taken. No more, I promise.”

Maria heaved a sigh of relief, her protest shifting into a soft grumble. “Young master, taste it yourself. I
can’t bear to…”
