Chapter 335: As Beautiful as You

Ming’s gaze shifted towards the little Chaos.

The membrane enveloping the little Chaos slowly dissolved.

There lay the little Chaos on a clump of grass, sound asleep. You could even see its belly rising and falling with each breath.

Ming followed Shixin to the side of the little Chaos, who blinked repeatedly at it.

Ming, curious, poked it with his finger.

Hmm, not bad texture.

Soft and squishy, like a meat bun but softer and more substantial.

How to say this? It felt somewhat like a meat bun, but better in softness and fullness.

Ming couldn’t resist poking it again and again.

Honestly, if you had this Chaos in your hand to squeeze endlessly, it would be extremely stress-relieving.

Just as Ming was about to poke it some more, Shixin grabbed his hand, pouting, “Don’t bully it.”

“Alright,” Ming withdrew his hand. “This guy doesn’t seem fully awake yet, but it should be soon. Don’t put it back into the storage bag these few days. The spiritual energy in there is too thin, which isn’t good for its development.”

“Okay,” Shixin nodded seriously, very obedient.

Ming took another careful look and separated the little Chaos’ feet.

He wanted to check if the Chaos was male or female.

In the end, much to his regret, Ming couldn’t tell.

Could it be that this kind of ferocious beast has no gender? Ming thought it must be so.

It’s said that the chaotic beasts were born during the initial opening of chaos.

At the start of chaos, there was no concept of gender; only later did male and female distinctions arise.

So, it’s normal for Chaos to have no gender.

“Don’t bully it,” Shixin said as she picked up the Chaos after watching Ming constantly fiddling with it.

“I’m just curious,” Ming chuckled, sensing a certain care for small pets from Shixin.

A friend of his once raised a kitten like this—always worried about others bullying it, let alone someone like him who might draw his sword against Chaos.

“Have you thought of a name for it?” Ming asked.

“Name?” Shixin shook her head. “Not yet, I’ll think of one when it wakes up.”

“Whatever, I’m going to sleep. Wake me up in the second half of the night, I’ll keep watch while you rest.”

Ming yawned and sat back in his previous spot, leaning against the rock wall to sleep.

Though the ground and rock wall were hard, ever since entering the Blood Floating Pagoda, Ming often slept rough and had developed the good habit of falling asleep instantly wherever he was.

However, Shixin didn’t wake him up in the second half of the night and continued to keep watch.

Ming woke up himself.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Shixin examining the Chaos left and right, like a little girl who’d just gotten a kitten, her sense of novelty not yet faded.

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

It can only be said that girls generally have no resistance to such baby animals, sometimes even experiencing an overflow of maternal instincts.

Only, people usually raise kittens or puppies, but Shixin raised a Chaos. While those kittens and puppies might only bare their teeth at others at most, this Chaos is different—it could be a world-destroying existence if not properly trained.

“Never mind, judging by her behavior, she won’t sleep tonight.”

Normally, she’s like waiting for a chick to hatch from an egg—unless the excitement wears off, she won’t sleep.

Ming yawned and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Early in the morning, Ming smelled roasted corn again.

Honestly, Ming didn’t want to eat roasted corn anymore, but seeing her expectantly handing over the corn, Ming could only continue munching, otherwise, he’d feel like wasting her goodwill.

“Let’s go.”

Ming stretched lazily and walked out of the mountain cave.

“Uh…”

Shixin holding the Chaos ran to catch up.

“Where are we going?” Shixin asked.

“I don’t know.” Ming told the truth.

Ming really didn’t know where he should go.

By all accounts, he’d already received enough great opportunities.

And luck is conserved—a person gets what they deserve. Having received so many opportunities, he guessed he’d used them all up, and this time there wouldn’t be any more big opportunities coming his way.

All he had to do was wait for the Rootless Mystic Realm to open.

But the Rootless Mystic Realm wasn’t opening either.

He couldn’t stay in the mountain cave forever, could he?

“Isn’t there supposed to be a lake in the Rootless Mystic Realm?” Ming asked.

Shixin holding the little Chaos blinked her golden eyes, revealing clarity and innocence.

“Alright, you don’t know either… Let’s go check out the Bihulu Lake then. After all, as one of the ‘famous attractions’ of the Rootless Mystic Realm, it’s worth visiting. Otherwise, there won’t be another chance later,” Ming decided.

“Uh…” Shixin nodded, seemingly indifferent.

“And if nothing unexpected happens, my two friends should also be heading to Bihulu Lake,” Ming mumbled, stroking his chin.

Now that the Sama Cave and the Bodhi Mountain Lord Fruit were gone, there was still the desert and Bihulu Lake. The desert wasn’t worth visiting, whereas Bihulu Lake had beautiful scenery.

“You have friends too?” Shixin looked at Ming in surprise.

Ming’s eyebrows twitched: “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t it normal to have friends? Moreover, my two friends are very pretty.”

Shixin: “…”

Ming took out the map and started walking towards Bihulu Lake.

Holding the little Chaos, Shixin kept hearing Ming’s words—”My two friends are very pretty”—echoing in her ears.

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

This feeling was strange. And just as Ming was intently studying the map in his hand, Shixin freed one hand and gently tugged at Ming’s sleeve.

Ming turned around and looked at Shixin: “What’s wrong?”

Shixin lifted her clear eyes: “How pretty are your two friends?”

“Eh…”

Ming thought carefully and then gave the most objective conclusion.

“As pretty as you.”

“Uh…” Shixin nodded.

Ming: “Are you okay? Why ask this suddenly?”

Shixin shook her head: “I don’t know, just asking.”

“Alright.”

Ming continued walking forward.

Shixin looked at Ming’s back, hugging the little Chaos tighter.

“What’re you spacing out for? Let’s go.” Ming turned around and looked at Shixin.

“Huh…”

Shixin ran to catch up.

Under the dappled tree shadows, the corner of the young girl’s mouth curved sweetly.
