Chapter 7 of Waste Summoner: The Rebellious Little Evil Consort

Previously: Yun Bei was poisoned with a substance that suppressed her talent, and the Heavenly Eye became her contracted companion.

The Heavenly Eye paused before speaking with astonishment, "Clearly, someone has concocted this poison specifically for you, designed to suppress your talent without harming you..." In the land of Cangyun, talent tests are conducted once a year, so children within the year of age would participate. She had taken the talent test at six months old, which meant someone had poisoned her before she was six months old.

"Heavenly Eye, what is my talent?" She was eager to know what kind of talent she possessed that warranted such effort to poison her.

"Want to know your talent? It's simple, contract with me first..." The tone of the Heavenly Eye was slightly mischievous.

After a moment of contemplation, Yun Bei decisively agreed, "Okay!" Regardless of the outcome, what did she have to fear if the worst was to die again? A surge of strong conviction rose from the depths of her heart, piercing into her mind and exploding with intense white light that blinded her.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself on a vast grassland, in front of her stood a lush fruit tree. The lowest branches bore white fruits, above them were slightly larger green ones, and further up were red, gold, and black fruits, stacked like a pyramid. A gentle breeze brought a faint fragrance.

"What are these fruits? Can I eat them?" Yun Bei casually plucked a white fruit. It felt soft and slippery to the touch, and its sweet scent tempted her to take a bite.

"These are Five-Color Fruits, of course, you can eat them..." Without hesitation, Yun Bei popped one into her mouth, the taste was refreshingly sweet and sour.

"Delicious..." As she reached for another, her gaze suddenly froze. The red marks from the whip on her arm were slowly fading.

"The white fruit can heal decay and regenerate flesh and bones. As long as you're not dead, one can extend life, two can regenerate flesh, and three can heal... No matter how severe the external injury, three fruits will have you jumping around again... The one you just ate was the third one..." No wonder her wounds healed so quickly; it was all thanks to the white fruit.

"What about the other colored fruits? What are their effects?"

"The others you don't need for now. I'll tell you when we have time. Aren't you eager to know what your talent is?" A giant mirror suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing before Yun Bei.

"What do you see in this mirror?" Everything in the mirror was also shrouded in fog, indistinct and unclear.

"Does seeing mist count?"

"Close your eyes and look with your heart..." The voice of the Heavenly Eye suddenly became stern.

Yun Bei did as told, closing her eyes and slowing her breathing, using her intuition to sense everything in the mirror.

"Red... The mist in the mirror turned red... No, now it's yellow, now green, now gray... Now it's sky blue..."

Yun Bei abruptly opened her eyes to find the mirror still shrouded in haze, devoid of any color.

"Why is this happening?"

"The mirror reflects everything your spiritual power perceives... Red is for fire, yellow for metal, green for wood, gray for earth, blue for water... You should now understand what you saw, right?" The Heavenly Eye spoke calmly.

"Elements..." Yun Bei's breathing quickened, "Am I an Elementalist?"
