Chapter 278.1 - The Little Thing Who Is Asking For It
She had not really paid much attention to it.
The seed….. Where did it go?
Qing Yu was still feeling puzzled when her gaze slowly turned to look at the little red toddler. She reeled back in shock like she had just thought of something and then blinked her eyes incredulously. “You…..”
The little toddler’s large eyes looked back at her as his head nodded slowly, his voice delighted as he said: “That’s right that’s right. I am that little seed. Mistress finally remembers me!”
It all suddenly dawned upon Qing Yu.
It seemed like she had come to realize when that seed had gone missing and understood why the little thing was being so angry that she did not remember him.
Because he had only been a living creature that did not have its own body, no mouth to speak with, but possessed its own consciousness to understand the words she said and had been able to respond to her.
Everytime that she interacted with Little Burrow in the past, the little thing had actually always appeared, seemingly trying to attract her attention, and she had always been rather amused, comforting the little thing a little.
Back then, Qing Yu had just thought that he was just a strange and mysterious little sprite.
But after she underwent her tribulation and died, the little thing had disappeared.
Thinking about that, Qing Yu could not help but look at the little toddler in surprise. “When….. did you come to grow yourself a body?”
“I just grew up and would naturally grow myself a body. I only had my spirit consciousness before and the spirit energy I absorbed was thin and weak, hence my cultivation advanced very slowly. That is why I look so strange now!” The little toddler seemed a little embarrassed as it said with his head hung low.
Qing Yu nodded her head with a smile. “I see, I see. But….. what kind of a species are you really? A flower? Weed?”
She remembered that he had been a seed, but she really did not have any idea what kind of a seed he was.
“I am most definitely not such a lowly being like a common plant or whatnot!” The little toddler pouted his lips in indignation.
“Then what are you? Qing Yu asked with an upraised eyebrow.
The little toddler blinked his eyes and then puffed his chest up with pride. “I am a Earth Fire Devil Vine.”
Earth Fire Devil Vine?
It was said to be a strange and unique plant that grew among the lava at the world’s core, it’s life force highly tenacious and resilient, and does not die easily.
They fed on lava and hence had strong and sturdy bodies. If their long vines lashed out and whipped on a person’s body, it would inflict indescribably excruciating pain.
It was called the devil vine because though the Earth Fire Devil Vine itself was a docile kind of plant, but when it came into contact with human bloodstream, it would undergo a ferocious transformation, to gain terrifyingly destructive powers.
Because it was such an evil and devilish plant, when it was first discovered that the Earth Fire Devil Vine had such an unstable and violent characteristic, it was fully eradicated and rooted out completely by people. Otherwise, at the wild and ferocious rate it was able to propagate and its propensity to attack and slaughter humans if it drank blood, Heavens knew what kind of a terror they would have brought.
