“Let’s observe further. I still think it’s best to prioritize stability in this matter.
First, we need to understand the situation. If it’s not feasible, it might be better to give up directly. The withered heart isn’t absolutely indispensable.”
Mingxi didn’t have such a strong desire.
Even if she did contract a useless Pet, it didn’t matter.
There are countless examples of useless individuals rising to become kings. What’s wrong with her having one more useless Pet?
As the saying goes, don’t bully a poor Pet.
Cough cough.
“Master, you’re acting strange. Why have you suddenly adopted a cautious approach?”
Guangguang was quite puzzled. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Its Master possessed both wisdom and courage, literary and martial prowess, boldness and meticulousness, planning before acting, calmness and thoroughness, decisiveness and sharp execution (ten thousand words omitted here), but she definitely wasn’t the type to plan eighteen steps ahead and be overly cautious.
She also had moments of rashness and impulsiveness when faced with danger, especially when encountering treasures.
But at this moment, she behaved like a scoundrel king who only cared about her life and not about treasures.
She even directly said she wanted to give up.
Is this reasonable?
Could it be that she discovered something it hadn’t?
Guang, the conspiracy theorist, began to ‘listen in all directions and observe all sides.’
Mingxi seemed to be able to read its thoughts. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Guang, don’t you think this matter is a bit strange?”
Guangguang was startled.
“Huh? What’s strange?”
Mingxi never liked to keep people in suspense and said directly, “Don’t you think this matter is a bit too... smooth?”
Guangguang was stunned again.
“Smooth?”
It didn’t think so.
Mingxi continued:
“You should know the characteristics of the jianrong fruit better than I do.
Its allure to Transcendent creatures is powerful, driving Beast Tamers mad, and tempting saints to fall. These descriptions cannot be false.
Let’s not talk about my situation and Golden Yuanbao’s for now.
What about Black Pearl and Bright Crystal?”
After sending Black Pearl and Bright Crystal back to the Pet Space and confirming they hadn’t eaten the jianrong fruit, Mingxi realized something was amiss.
After hearing the two’s description of the whole story, this feeling of unease grew stronger.
According to their accounts, the time from when Black Pearl brought out the jianrong fruit until Mingxi sent them back to the Pet Space was not short.
However, they never laid a hand on the jianrong fruit.
Among them, Bright Crystal even actively picked one and sent it into the Time Realm.
Was this truly something that the two’s disposition could accomplish?
If it had been Golden Yuanbao, Lan Yue, or Emerald Green accompanying Black Pearl today, Mingxi wouldn’t have thought too much.
But it was Bright Crystal.
“Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit off...”
Aninos’s and Zhen Guai Gui Yan’s personalities weren’t bad, but they certainly lacked the ability to endure and restrain themselves.
At least not to the extent of being able to resist the allure of the jianrong fruit.
“And in such a large lake, even if there are no wild Transcendent creatures, there shouldn’t be a lack of ordinary fish, shrimp, and crabs, right?
But look, have any fish, shrimp, or crabs been lured over by these two jianrong fruits? Even if they are just ordinary species, they should theoretically be tempted by the jianrong fruit, right?”
The more Mingxi observed, the more she felt something was wrong.
That’s why she wanted to choose a cautious approach.
“Could it be that this isn’t a jianrong fruit?”
Guang, who was doubting its life, came online. It scanned the fruit in the storage room countless times.
It even used up reward time for a detailed inspection.
The result was nothing.
“Master, this is indeed a jianrong fruit.”
Mingxi hummed.
“So, is the rumor incorrect, or has the jianrong fruit’s allure decreased due to some unknown reason?”
“The possibility of the rumor being incorrect is very small.” Guangguang denied the first possibility, “The database imported to me by the Time Realm has not yet shown any information errors.”
Although it felt it was shoddily made.
The laws of the Time Realm should absorb only the truth.
“So it’s the latter.” Mingxi actually leaned more towards the latter as well.
After all, as a cheat, the Time Realm had indeed never disappointed her.
“Could it [N O V E L I G H T] be because of that Treasure Mirror Elephant Dragon?”
“I don’t rule out that possibility, so I’m reserving judgment on entering the light band space.”
If that Treasure Mirror Elephant Dragon really absorbed some ‘nutrients’ from the jianrong fruit, would it let go of the withered heart?
Would the withered heart still be the same withered heart?
Assuming it was blind and let go of the withered heart, then who could guarantee that it wouldn’t undergo some uncontrollable changes because of the jianrong fruit?
Or, even more seriously, what if that Treasure Mirror Elephant Dragon wasn’t fake as she previously guessed?
What if it truly was a Treasure Mirror Elephant Dragon?
What if it used some special method to survive in that special space?
Then how strong would it be?
Venerable-level?
Divine-level?
Or even Transcendent-level?
Mingxi didn’t want to think about the worst-case scenario, but this possibility wasn’t nonexistent.
When risk and reward were not proportional, she naturally wanted to choose caution and stability.
“Yuan Shi.”
Golden Yuanbao spoke up.
Because Mingxi and Guangguang hadn’t blocked them, it and Black Pearl, including Lan Yue and others on the lake, could hear their conversation.
Golden Yuanbao suggested letting Black Pearl lead it to scout ahead. It would activate its Divine Eye. If a problem was confirmed, it would immediately return and abandon the exploration.
“Wait until Bright Crystal comes back.”
Mingxi hadn’t forgotten her agreement with Bright Crystal.
“Zhen Gua.”
I’m back.
Bright Crystal, holding the danqi bead, quickly swam over.
Its large white eyes rolled with great expressiveness.
It would be strange if it was happy about being criticized for lacking self-control.
It wasn’t like Black Pearl, that silly black fish!
“Cough, our little one has worked hard, our little one is amazing.”
Mingxi awkwardly patted its fur.
“Hmph.”
Jumping onto the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform and spitting out the danqi bead, Bright Crystal stood with its hands in its pockets and its nostrils flared.
It vividly performed ‘disdainful grip.jpg’ and ‘unhappy grip.jpg’.
“As?”
At this moment, it still had to be Black Pearl. It didn’t feel the bleak atmosphere at all.
Mingxi felt it was right to dote on it.
What a thoughtful child.
Mingxi pondered. Golden Yuanbao was fine; it had gradually developed the foresight and self-control of a team leader.
But with Black Pearl’s and Bright Crystal’s personalities, convincing them to give up re-entering the light band space wasn’t a matter of difficulty, but rather a matter of them throwing their promise to the wind and embarking on a spontaneous adventure if not properly supervised after being convinced.
Instead of constantly being on edge, it was better to solve the problem at its root and extinguish their curiosity about the light band space.
So, this adventure was ultimately unavoidable.
“You can go in, but considering that if a battle occurs, the Rainbow Bubble will burst. Black Pearl has Myriad Realms Travel and can leave at any time, but you cannot.”
“So this time, before the Rainbow Bubble bursts, no matter what happens, you cannot make a move, and you absolutely, absolutely cannot actively leave the Rainbow Bubble’s range.”
