Chapter 293 - The Silly Plant And Overgrown Cat

"Master, the whole area is the same, so it does not matter where we rest."

Xiao Mao looked around and found that the lush gra.s.s beneath their feet was swaying in the breeze, and there were no signs of any shelter, so they might as well rest where they appeared.

"This gra.s.s smells so good." Xiao Hua looked across the expanse of plants that stretched out in front, and Bai Rouyun could almost hear the drooling sounds as the vines began to reach into the ground below.

The moment its vines dug into the soil, a sigh of comfort escaped the Golden Emperor Vine, and a faint green hue shone around the entire plant.

While Xiao Hua was slowly gaining energy, the surrounding gra.s.s was withering little by little, and the emerald green turned into a sandy yellow.

The green hue that surrounded Xiao Hua slowly increased in depth, and turned from a faint and almost transparent light into a dense mist that could barely be seen through.

The gra.s.s was withering at an increasing speed, and the previously lush surroundings were turning yellow at a rapid pace.

"That is enough."

Bai Rouyun did not stop Xiao Hua from absorbing the nutrients at the start, and she also observed the entire process with curiosity. However, Xiao Hua did not seem to have any intention of stopping again, so she had to make the greedy little plant halt its frantic consumption.

"But, Master, the energy here is so tasty. It is even tastier than that old cat's blood!"

Xiao Mao, who was referred to as an old cat, could not help but shake his head with helplessness. While he was nearly killed by this childish plant before, he did not hold much of a grudge but instead felt that it was a stupid glutton that would kill itself by trying to eat something too powerful one day.

"You have already changed a large part of this area. If you keep eating like this, it is unknown whether you will explode from absorbing too much energy, or if someone else will notice the change in surroundings and attack us first."

Bai Rouyun gave Xiao Mao an approving glance as the Cloud Leopard tried to explain their current situation. In fact, she respected Xiao Mao quite a bit, and after spending time alongside her two companions during the years, she found that this oversized cat had a way too docile temper.

Xiao Hua was playful, but due to its nature, it was ruthless. It did not care about murdering and absorbing the lifeforce and essence blood from others, and even Xiao Mao had been its prey before, but even so, this previous dinner had become a full-time nanny for the stubborn and childish plant.

Although Xiao Mao might seem gentle and docile when together with Bai Rouyun and Xiao Hua, he was not easily bullied either. Throughout the many years of cultivating, they had to temper and solidify their foundations from time to time, and to do so, they needed to battle.

The few times they left the Primal Chaos Dimension, they would enter the depths of the mountain ranges and virgin forests to locate the beasts that had cultivated for countless years to challenge them.

These beasts would usually accept the challenges, as they too wished to improve their abilities in the hope of gaining a chance to ascend, but once, one of these beasts had tried to kill and consume Xiao Hua, after which Xiao Mao erupted with murderous intent and pushed beyond his limits.

It was this time that he managed to break through and become the most powerful of the two, and since then, Xiao Hua had considered this gentle cat as someone who could protect it.

Bai Rouyun could not help but chuckle happily as she witnessed the interaction between her two contracted partners. Both Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua had grown throughout the past years together, but their way of getting along had always been very interesting to watch.

"I have cleared the ground. It is more suitable to stay on now." Xiao Hua clearly understood what Xiao Mao was trying to say, but it was too embarra.s.sed to admit that it might have gone too far, so instead it happily tried to ask for praise from Bai Rouyun instead.

"Thank you." Bai Rouyun happily praised her little plant. Although Xiao Bao was cheerful and good at causing problems, it was also considerate and sweet. Since she considered them all her family members, she would naturally not be stingy with her praise, and this had also helped make their relations.h.i.+p closer.

"Master, why don't we stay in the Primal Chaos Dimension for the night?"

While Bai Rouyun was preparing for their rest, Xiao Hua could not help but ask her something that had confused her for some time. "The Primal Chaos Dimension is much more safe than this outside world."

Bai Rouyun smiled sweetly as she patted the thorned vine that was wrapped around her wrist.

"Although it is safer, we have to face this Wus.h.i.+ Continent at some point. It is easy to enter the dimension and hide, but it will not make us gain a better understanding of where we are, nor will it help us increase our abilities. Sometimes the easiest and safest way might not be the most beneficial for future progress."

Xiao Hua's vine on her wrist seemed to sway slightly as it considered her words, but after accepting the reasons she had given, it happily went to entangle Xiao Mao once more.

Seeing the two cheerful companions, Bai Rouyun could not help but smile as she shook her head and began to withdraw items from the dimension so that she could start a campfire.
