Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

#335 - As beautiful as you

Xu Ming's gaze turned towards the little Chaos beast.

The membrane enveloping the little Chaos beast slowly dissolved.

The little Chaos beast lay there on the grass ball, sound asleep; you could even see its belly rising and falling with each breath.

Xu Ming followed Shixin to the little Chaos beast's side, Shixin blinking as she looked at it.

Xu Ming was curious and reached out a finger to poke it.

Hmm, the feel wasn't bad.

Soft and fleshy.

How should he put it? It felt a bit like a meat bun, but softer and more substantial.

Xu Ming couldn't help but poke it again, and then again.

Honestly, if you could hold a Chaos beast like this in your hand and knead it non-stop, it would definitely be very stress-relieving.

Just as Xu Ming was about to poke it a few more times, Shixin grabbed Xu Ming's hand, pouting her little mouth: "Don't bully it."

"Alright," Xu Ming retracted his hand. "This guy doesn't seem to be awake yet, but it should be soon. Don't put it in the storage bag these days; the spiritual energy in the storage bag is too thin, which isn't conducive to its development."

"Mmm, mmm," Shixin nodded earnestly, very obedient.

Xu Ming took another careful look, separating the Chaos beast's legs.

He wanted to see if the Chaos beast was male or female.

In the end, to his disappointment, Xu Ming couldn't tell.

Could it be that Chaos beasts don't have genders?

Xu Ming thought that should be the case.

Legend has it that Chaos beasts were born in the early days of Chaos.

In the beginning of Chaos, gender certainly didn't exist; it was only later that male and female slowly appeared.

So it's normal for Chaos beasts to have no gender.

"Don't bully it!" Seeing Xu Ming constantly pawing at the Chaos beast, Shixin picked it up.

"I'm just curious," Xu Ming smiled, feeling that Shixin had a kind of love for small pets.

When one of his friends raised kittens before, she was also like this, afraid of them being bullied, let alone him, someone who wanted to draw his sword at the Chaos beast at the slightest provocation.

"Have you thought about naming it?" Xu Ming asked.

"Name?" Shixin shook her head. "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's name it after it wakes up."

"Whatever you want. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up in the second half of the night; I'll keep watch, and you can rest."

Xu Ming yawned, sat back in his previous position, and leaned against the rock wall to sleep.

Although the ground was hard and the rock wall was hard, Xu Ming had often lived outdoors since entering the Blood Floating Pagoda and had developed a good habit of falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

However, in the second half of the night, Shixin didn't wake Xu Ming and continued to keep watch.

Xu Ming had guessed that Shixin would do this.

Xu Ming woke up on his own.

Opening his eyes, he saw Shixin looking at the Chaos beast from left to right, a vivid picture of a little girl getting a kitten, the novelty still hadn't worn off.

Shixin even took out her handkerchief and covered the little Chaos beast with it.

It could only be said that as long as it was a girl, they basically had no resistance to this kind of pet cub, and sometimes their maternal instincts would overflow.

It's just that…

People raise kittens and puppies, but Shixin raises a Chaos beast.

Those kittens and puppies at most would only bare their teeth at others, but this Chaos beast was different. If it wasn't taught well, this Chaos beast would be an existence that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Forget it, looking at her like this, she won't sleep tonight either."

Under normal circumstances, she was like waiting for a chick to hatch from an egg; unless the excitement passed, she wouldn't sleep.

Xu Ming yawned and continued to close his eyes to sleep.

Early in the morning, Xu Ming once again smelled the aroma of roasted corn.

Honestly, Xu Ming didn't want to eat roasted corn anymore, but looking at her handing over the corn with that expectant little expression, Xu Ming could only continue to nibble, otherwise, he always felt like he was wasting her kindness.

"Let's go."

Xu Ming stretched and walked out of the cave.

"Oh woo…"

Shixin hugged the Chaos beast and trotted to catch up.

"Where are we going?" Shixin asked.

"I don't know either," Xu Ming said truthfully.

Xu Ming really didn't know where he should go.

Logically speaking, he had already obtained enough great opportunities.

And a person's luck is conserved; he had obtained so many opportunities, it was probably about time, and there probably wouldn't be any more great opportunities coming his way this time.

He was just waiting for the Rootless Secret Realm to open.

But this Rootless Secret Realm wasn't opening.

So he couldn't just keep waiting in the cave, right?

"The Rootless Secret Realm seems to have a lake, right?" Xu Ming asked.

Shixin, holding the little Chaos beast, blinked her eyes, her golden eyes revealing pure foolishness.

"Alright, you don't know either… Then let's go to Azure Dragon Lake and take a look. After all, as a 'famous scenic spot' of the Rootless Secret Realm, we should still go and see it, otherwise, we won't have the chance in the future," Xu Ming decided.

"Oh woo," Shixin nodded, feeling somewhat indifferent.

"And if nothing unexpected happens, my two friends should also be heading to Azure Dragon Lake," Xu Ming thought, stroking his chin.

Now that Three Tastes Cave was gone, and the Bodhi Mountain Master Fruit was also gone, there was still a desert and Azure Dragon Lake left. There was nothing good to go to in that desert, but Azure Dragon Lake had beautiful scenery.

"You have friends too?" Shixin looked at Xu Ming in surprise.

Xu Ming's eyebrows twitched: "What are you saying? What's wrong with me having friends? Isn't that normal? And my two friends are very beautiful."

Shixin: "…"

Xu Ming took out the map and walked in the direction of Azure Dragon Lake.

Shixin held the little Chaos beast in her arms, but Xu Ming's words kept echoing in her ears—"My two friends are very beautiful."

Shixin didn't know why she cared so much about that sentence.

This feeling was strange…

Just as Xu Ming was concentrating on studying the map in his hand, Shixin freed a hand and gently tugged on Xu Ming's sleeve.

Xu Ming turned his head and glanced at Shixin: "What's wrong?"

Shixin raised her clear eyes: "How beautiful are your two friends?"

"Uh…"

Xu Ming thought seriously, and then gave the most objective conclusion.
