CH 54

The beast’s white dumpling head is now hairless and looks like a baldy. It sickly lurked in a corner, its gloomy feelings spreading throughout the cave.

Su TingYun had never cried so much in her entire life. If she were to continue crying, she would definitely turn blind.

Her negative state of mind was overwhelming, causing her to have suicidal tendencies. If not for the ring giving timely assistance by transmitting waves of cool energy to soothe her, she might kill herself by smashing her head into the wall.

Only now did Su TingYun know the true might of the beast. It could kill a person without lifting a finger. No wonder E ChangGuang in her prime was suppressed by it in all aspects. After receiving heavy injuries, and losing its memory, E ChangGuang could only hide from it.

In order to preserve her life, Su TingYun could not let the beast continue crying. Contrarily, those slightly sentient purple tongue grass had the appearance of wishing the entire world to be in chaos, were laughing, laughing non-stop.

Although the last words of E ChangGuang sounded unrestrained and straightforward, but after listening to it on repeat, it sounded like a ridicule. Moreover, it sounded like it was taunting the beast, making its already unstable emotions worse.

Su TingYun noticed that the skin that the beast had shed was smooth and shiny, it did not have a single hair. This means that blob shedding its fur should not be caused by the poison. Could it be that it was also molting fur, going through its puberty phase?

If the leaf on its head was its vital point, then it would have fallen off so easily. Unless it was also natural for it to shed dead leaves. In other words, a new sprout should grow soon.

After losing its memory, the beast should be really unsophisticated, if not it would not have assumed that the dead skin was its mother, and would not have cried so melancholily.

Thinking to this point, Su TingYun moved to the beast with much difficulty and said, ‘Stop crying.’

Instantly the beast was enraged, its body turning into a “C” shape.

Su TingYun hurriedly said, ‘You are just growing older, the small leaf that dropped will grow into a bigger one.’

The beast seemed to freeze.

Its sorrowful mood elevated slightly. Su TingYun felt like it relieved a burden from her. She added, ‘After I water and fertilise you, the leaves will grow faster.’

Only by expressing her worth could Su TingYun increase her chances of keeping her life.

Su TingYun suddenly felt a chilly wind blow pass, causing her to shiver all over. She understood that this was a warning the beast had given her, so she gave a timely reply: ‘They will definitely grow out.’

Even if they didn’t grow, she would still find two leaves and stick them onto its head……

Since it was so conscious about the two leaves in its head, she would find two leaves first to act as an emergency disaster precaution measure. The purple tongue grass’s leaves should suffice. However, to Su TingYun, the big purple tongue grass could be considered close to her, and the little ones had also helped and saved her before. It was against her morals to kill them.

There were many trees outside the cave, there were no short of large pieces of leaves. There were even leaves that could be used as her blanket. However, she could not do that as the beast had forbidden her to go out.

There were leaf blades in the crack of the hidden space, so Su TingYun went to pull them out, and then stuck them onto the top of the beast’s head……

It looks similar to the golden pheasant feathers that were inserted into the Beijing opera actors.

The beast immediately turned into a “C”.

The purple tongue grass collectively switched into mockery mode, the volume of their laughter became louder. Those purple tongue grass really were intelligent, who said that they were useless. Although they couldn’t be used to refine medicine, they could be used as a means of intelligence gathering. It was a shame that this method was not well known. If someone could fully control them, no one could hide any secrets from them.

Although the beast had turned into a “C” shape, Su TingYun did not feel any animosity from it. In conclusion it can be assumed that it was a tsundere and it was satisfied with the new hairstyle, it just did not want to show it. Thus Su TingYun let out a sigh of relief, then began to scheme against the beast in her mind.

‘How long have you been living in the forbidden horizon, do you want to see the outside world? Outside……’

What could be used as bait to lure it to the outside world?

‘Big Bai, there are many beautiful leaves outside, there are many colours to choose from, all sorts of shapes and sizes, you could even change a pair daily and they would not repeat!’

The beast was at a loss, Su TingYun had named it Big Bai. Even the tone of her voice sounded like a grandma coaxing a child.

Although the beast said nothing, Su TingYun saw its head slant. It gave the impression that the beast understood what Su TingYun was saying.

I am also a pill master, let me take a look at your mother.’

Looking at the lack of reaction from Big Bai, Su TingYun went to take a look at the pile of dead skin. She found out that the skin Big Bai shed was like a ball, other than the hole which was used as the entrance for entering and exiting, the rest of it was intact and in good condition The texture of it was also very comfortable, slippery and soft, the only difference it had from Big Bai was its colour.

If she were to inflate it, wouldn’t it be considered a balloon? Big Bai is very dumb, it should be able to fool it.

Su TingYun used manage wind technique and blew into the dead skin. Within a short amount of time, the dead skin became really swollen, becoming a big blob, filling up the entire cave. Thinking back to the time where Big Bai went into the skin, it did not try and expand it to its largest size. After it filled the dead skin with air, she tore off a section of her pants into a strip and tied the opening of the skin shut.

Big Bai did not have a reaction amidst all the commotion, furthermore it even produced a joyous mood, causing Su TingYun’s mood to improve without reason. Feeling all happy inside, she forgot her fear towards it.

In the end, she even found the longest pair of leaves and attached it onto the head of the black balloon. That black balloon was not like Big Bai who can contract and absorb items. Su TingYun even took quite the effort to secure the leaves so they would not fall off.

Looking at Big Bai stare unhappily at the strip of cloth, Su TingYun could only say: ‘Your mother is injured, this strip is to dress the wound.’

‘After she recovers from her injury, how about we go to the outside world to explore?’

After a long time, the white blob nodded its head.

Su TingYun was bursting with joy, ‘There is a seal here, I want to go outside and take a look around and find a way to deconstruct the seal, can you let me out?’

Big Bai hesitated for a moment before nodding. This time however, its body shot out some muddy substance that attached itself onto Su TingYun’s arm. Su TingYun wanted to rub it off but was stopped by it.

This should be some sort of tracking technique?

Su TingYun brought an object shaped like a granule of feces and exited the cave. After walking for a while, she realised that the surrounding wild beast were avoiding her. Only then did she know that the thing Big Bai placed onto her body was actually for repelling wild beasts.

After walking for a distance, Su TingYun switched into Li XinMei’s body, she wanted to keep her body into the bracelet, but the granule just would not come off and could not be smeared onto Li XinMei’s body, so she could only carry her own body on her back.

Soon after Su TingYun routed spiritual energy into her eyes, making use of the universal formation eyes to gather information of the forbidden horizon.

E ChangGuang used three thousand years to find an exit. The pair of eyes she was using originated from E ChangGuang. Therefore this time, Su TingYun quickly saw a path of light. She traced the light with much difficulty progressing. Following the stream of water over the narrow slit ever the horizon, and finally she saw a loophole made near the water.

The surface of the water was clear, using mental energy to probe, the light could be seen tens of zhang below the surface.

Su TingYun threw a leaf into the water first to check for danger. After knowing that there was no reaction, Su TingYun placed her hand into the water intending to test the water temperature. As it turns out, after submerging her hand, the spiritual energy protecting her hand was frozen solid, and frost started to form on her arm at a visible speed. Her entire hand was frozen into the water, unable to pull it out.

Su TingYun ended her possession and returned into her own body and used her pill flame to roast the water surface. Then taking advantage of the ice surface loosening to pull Li XinMei’s hand out. After finishing all that, primordial spirit had been exhausted, her brain felt like there were needles piercing it.

The exit is beneath the water’s surface, but the water was really strange. With her current cultivation, her spiritual energy would only last an instant before running out. In other words, she would freeze to death in the water the moment she enters it.
