Qiuqiu extended its hand to give a yawn. “Masta, I’ve sealed the essence earth inside your mystic niche. Slowly assimilate it, just like what you did with the essence water before. However, this time, the process will probably take you two to three months.”
“Are you also planning to go into seclusion and prepare for advancement?” Qiao Mu’s eyebrows twitched, immediately sensing something.
Qiuqiu nodded. “Not only do I have to go into seclusion. Lady Holy Water and this dirt clump also have to, too.”
“Master, this time, I might take a much longer time than before. You have to take care of yourself, make sure nothing happens!”
Qiao Mu curved her lips slightly while still wearing an impassive expression, yet a hint of bitterness gushed through her heart. “What can happen to me?”
“You said the same thing last time, and in the end, didn’t something happen to you?” Moreover, it was a major event; the Holy Water Sect was uprooted pletely!
Hearing this, Qiao Mu’s eyes cooled down bit by bit, ever so slowly. She spat out in a chilly voice, “Never will that kind of thing happen again.”
Eventually, those who hurt her shall repay this debt of blood in kind.
After giving a sigh, Qiuqiu continued speaking heartfelt words. “Master, I won’t be able to pull you inside Paradise Planet during these three to four months, and neither can you e inside yourself. You have to be much more careful, you must not get hurt again and make me worried!”
Qiao Mu walked up to the little treant and carried it up, messing up the four to five tender leaves on its small head. “Don’t worry. This time, no one can hurt me again.”
Qiuqiu nodded cutely. “Mhm. Then take the white snakelet out with you.”
Qiao Mu shook her head. “Let it rest here properly. It’s not showing any signs of waking up. Perhaps it had overextended itself too much earlier.”
“Caw, caw!” The little chick flapped its wings and flew onto Qiao Mu’s shoulder. It thrust out its chest and put on an air of disdainfully looking down upon the world.
Look! At crucial times, you still had to rely on your Great Lord Qingluan!
Qiuqiu shook its head sleepily. “Fine, then bring Qingluan out with you. Be more careful, Master.”
“Master, you have to take care of yourself!” Strutting its stubby legs, the water child tugged at a corner of Qiao Mu’s skirt and raised its head as it cried out cutely.
“You guys all don’t have to worry. What can happen with me looking after Qiaoqiao?” Mo Lian jumped down from the stone block on the side, sweeping a glance at the little treant and the water child, before going up to hold Qiao Mu’s small hand.
Qiao Mu turned to meet his gaze.
Qiuqiu nodded repeatedly. “Master, if I can successfully advance to the late-toddler stage and step into the adolescent stage, perhaps, we can open up the other planets inside the Star Domain.”
“Really?” Qiao Mu’s heart leaped in joy.
“Perhaps, but at the very least, I have to enter the adolescent stage to open up the other large planets, ah…” Qiuqiu laid down tiredly at the foot of the longeval tree. “Master, let me send you all out. Be more meticulous, and don’t let Qiuqiu worry.”
“Qiuqiu, I’m also bringing Chirpy out with me. Leaving it by itself in the treehouse for several months, with no one to take care of it, I’m not reassured.”
“Mhm, okay.”
“Qiuqiu, I’m also not in a hurry to open up those planets. Gauge yourself properly, and don’t be greedy nor impatient when advancing.” Qiao Mu’s lips parted, and she patted the sapling’s head. “I’ll be waiting for you all.”
Qiuqiu nodded before shaking its two branches, sending the two people, Qingluan, and the little white squirrel out together at once.
