Free Web NovelBlack Pearl slurped down non-existent saliva.
“As?”
It looked at Bright Crystal beside it, asking what on earth this was, as it felt incredibly delicious.
Bright Crystal, with a small oxygen tank dangling from its large mouth, rolled its eyes at the foolish Black Pearl.
Did it look like it knew everything?
Without inherited memories, it was an illiterate Zhen Gua, like a chicken without parents.
Mingxi: Was it blaming her for not being a good 'chicken mom'?
Alright, she'd arrange it.
“Mmm mmm.”
I don't know.
But these strange things that Black Pearl had pulled out from who knows where did look rather tempting.
As it watched...
(〃'▽'〃)
٩(º﹃º٩)
Slurp.
“As?”
Little White, can we eat this?
Black Pearl rubbed its non-existent little belly; although it had just eaten a lot of snacks and energy pills, it seemed to be hungry again.
It must be that it hadn't eaten enough before.
Bright Crystal was also hungry.
Wanted to eat.
But it always felt that this matter should be reported to that woman, Mingxi.
After all, that woman had repeatedly warned them that no matter what they found in the wild, even if it was a treasure that could instantly evolve them into Venerable-level pets, they shouldn't eat it casually.
That woman had said: Eating wild vegetables by the roadside brings tears to loved ones' eyes. freёwebnovel.com
Although what was in front of them wasn't wild vegetables, the meaning was the same, and it understood.
So, it had to tell her first!
It glanced at the restless Black Pearl again; this silly child wouldn't do, completely forgetting the woman's instructions.
As expected, it had to be it.
When it comes to pets, comparisons are frightening.
“Mmm mmm.”
Wait, first throw some into the Pet Space.
It was absolutely impossible for it to go up and specifically notify that woman.
But conveying the message this way was fine.
That thing named Guangguang was that woman's most devout lackey, and it would surely deliver the message properly.
“As!”
After struggling to understand Bright Crystal's words, Black Pearl suddenly snapped back to attention.
Almost.
It almost became a bad treasure again.
Black Pearl glanced at the unusually quiet Chiyu beside it.
“Hoo—”
Fortunately, it wasn't lost.
It then turned its gaze to the object glowing softly in the lake water.
It was a section of reddish-brown tree branch, about one and a half meters long, its surface covered with pulsating, vein-like patterns, and its leaves were like imperial green emeralds, vibrant and dripping with color.
Three translucent vermilion fruits hung from the branch.
Inside, one could see a drop of fruit kernel resembling solidified amber, its surface patterns very clear.
Gazing at them, one would uncontrollably feel emotions of joy and longing.
Here, Black Pearl and Bright Crystal reluctantly picked a vermilion fruit and placed it into the Time Realm. There, Guangguang, on whom Bright Crystal had 'placed high hopes,' indeed notified Mingxi immediately.
Because she had just finished a new round of territory expansion.
“What did you say?!”
Mingxi didn't want to appear so startled.
But Guangguang actually told her: “Aninos and Zhen Guai Gui Yan put a jianrong fruit into the Time Realm.”
jianrong fruit is a fruit produced by the Kurong Jianmu Tree, a special energy fruit that presents different true appearances in the eyes of different creatures according to their desires.
What does this mean?
It's simple: every person and every Transcendent creature sees the jianrong fruit differently, and this difference is not false, but absolutely real.
To explain further, the jianrong fruit is an energy fruit born from the rules of reality and illusion.
As for what the jianrong fruit does?
That's a short story!
It's useless!
Well, you can't say that; you should say they only have disadvantages, no advantages whatsoever! Not even a tiny bit!
“Black Pearl, Bright Crystal!”
Upon realizing this, a sharp ringing exploded in Mingxi's mind, and she wished she could sprinkle Sweet Dream One Month into her and the two pets' bond power.
To make them sleep soundly for a month.
She had heard Guangguang mention the characteristics of the jianrong fruit; it was said that even Yama would be unable to move when he saw it, more tempting than Tang Sanzang's flesh.
With Black Pearl and Bright Crystal's willpower...
Unthinkable!
Mingxi didn't bother to consider Chiyu's safety; this was not the time to solve the trolley problem.
She immediately sensed the contract, formed a seal, and directly sent Black Pearl and Bright Crystal back to the Pet Space.
Then she formed the seal again to summon them.
The two pets' eyes were blank, even clearer and more foolish than a certain specific group of people.
“As?”
“Zhen Gua?”
They looked at Mingxi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, their three eyes bewildered, their faces puzzled, and at the same time, a sense of panic that they were in big trouble rose in their hearts.
A storm was brewing.
“Did you eat that fruit?”
Mingxi's voice was exceptionally low, like a knife smeared with arsenic.
Black Pearl and Bright Crystal exchanged glances, shaking their heads in unison to indicate:
“As!”
“Zhen Gua!”
No!
They would absolutely not say that they had just finished dividing the remaining two fruits and were planning to secretly eat them.
Hearing the two pets' replies and sensing their regretful emotions, Mingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
No great disaster had occurred.
And fortunately, they both maintained their rationality and still remembered to put one jianrong fruit into the Time Realm, otherwise it would truly have been...
She composed herself and explained: “I don't know where you got the jianrong fruit from, but this thing cannot be eaten. If you eat it, you will enter a 'life reversal' state, reverting from adulthood to a Pet Egg in a short period, and it's irreversible.”
They wouldn't die.
But it would be a complete waste of their lives.
It was somewhat similar to the situation where Twelve Qiluo's 【Come Here】 ability stripped Beast Tamers of their pets.
After hearing Mingxi's explanation, the two pets immediately broke out ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) in a cold sweat.
Even Bright Crystal, who usually didn't care about anything, was filled with lingering fear.
It didn't want its eight hundred years of earthbound spirit life to be reset to zero like this.
The suffering I've endured, the hardships I've experienced, how could they just disappear for no reason?
Even match-3 games aren't played like this.
Thankfully, thankfully.
I remembered the woman's instructions in time.
At this moment, Bright Crystal's gaze towards Mingxi even held a hint of tenderness.
Thank you for this woman's nagging.
“Where did you get this thing?”
The bottom of Wangyue Lake shouldn't be the environment for the Kurong Jianmu Tree to grow, right?
“Wait, let's go underwater and talk while we look for Chiyu.”
Mingxi hadn't forgotten the innocently abandoned Chiyu; without Black Pearl's control, the Rainbow Bubble wouldn't know where it would drift.
Fortunately, as long as the Rainbow Bubble wasn't broken, Black Pearl could sense it.
Mingxi hurriedly greeted Lin Chen and the other two, not waiting for them to ask for the reason.
She only had time to drop a sentence: “I'll explain when I get back.”
Then, taking Golden Yuanbao, Bright Crystal, and Black Pearl, she operated the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform and descended into the water.
Little Silver Flower, Lan Yue Liang, and Emerald Green were left on the lakeside, responsible for guarding.
The Two-Worlds Rotation Platform pushed aside the clear blue lake water.
“Now you can speak.”
