"Let's." Tian Yang nodded.
Kulas then led them to the back of the palace, where a flower garden of massive, unknown plants was growing. As they walked through the garden path, Kulas explained, "This is where I grow my tea leaves."

Ren Xia frowned at his ominous words and quickly said, "You'd better tell us, especially since you fed it to us."
Kulas let out a laugh. "I grow them in special soil—soil that's been infused with my blood."
"Your blood, again? Do you consider it some kind of universal treasure that improves everything it touches?"
