“Qiuqiu.” Qiao Mu fondled his small head dotingly. “Don’t be so naughty, okay? Do you know how sad I’ve been during this time? Hurry and wake up.”
The little boy suddenly started trembling all over, and his voice was particularly feeble. “You, you also want me to disappear too.”
Disappear?
Could it be that this seed fragment of Qiuqiu’s had already engendered its own consciousness?
This was a bit troublesome.
!!
Qiao Mu furrowed her brows as she looked down at the toddler nestled obediently in the crook of her arm.
His large eyes were moist and tinged with grief. Furthermore, his gaze also showed his distrust.
Qiao Mu set him down and crouched down in front of him. She patted his head. “You didn’t go all out when you were attacking me inside the barrier, right.”
Previously when Madam Zhang had used a divine weapon to trap her inside the defensive barriers, Qiuqiu would definitely have been able to hit her spot on, even as a seed fragment.
This went to show that deep in his heart, he was unwilling to hurt her.
Even though he had a faint consciousness, he was still a part of Qiuqiu’s main body.
“Sister, I’ll disappear if I return.” The toddler’s tears started falling from grief.
Qiao Mu held his small head in her arms and patted him while comforting, “How would that be? You and the main body are of the same origin. You all were originally one. After you return, it is just that you become him, and he becomes you.”
“Besides, we’ll be able to play together!” Qiao Mu righted his small head and told the toddler seriously, “Otherwise, I can only find a hole to bury you in and leave you to become an unmanly tree.”
The little tree blinked pitifully. “Wh-What do you mean by unmanly tree?”
“You have lost the power that originates from the main body. Even if I plant you, you will only take the form of a toddler even after centuries, milleniums, and even more. You know this too, right?”
Tears gushed from the little boy’s eyes as he crouched into a ball on the ground. He asked pitifully, “Will returning hurt?”
Qiao Mu rolled her eyes and picked up that toddler. “Recall all these vines.”
“Sister, can you remember my name? I, I am Little Two.”
Qiao Mu: …
“Could it be that Qiuqiu has multiple seed fragments?” Qiao Mu mumbled to herself. From this, could it be that there was a Little Three, Little Four, Little Five…
The boy sniffled. “Will Sister think of me after I return?”
Qiao Mu sighed in amus.e.m.e.nt. “You and Qiuqiu were originally one. Sister naturally likes thinking of you.”
The boy wiped his tears. “In the future, if you encounter Little Three and them, will you kill them if they don’t return?”
Qiao Mu was startled. She shook her head speechlessly. “Naturally no.”
“Then, then what if I don’t return today?”
“I said I’ll dig a hole and bury you!” Qiao Mu clobbered his forehead. “You think I’m a h.o.m.ocidal maniac? I won’t hurt those I treasure. Qiuqiu and you are also those whom I treasure.”
The little boy’s face suddenly shone radiantly as he leaped into Qiao Mu’s arms and cried, “Sister!”
