Chapter 299: Little Treant
“Chirp!!!” The white squirrel joyfully leaped onto Qiao Mu’s shoulder and lightly rubbed against her fair neck.
In a rare move, Qiao Mu reached out to pat its soft white fur. She recalled her earlier words and could not resist asking again with a furrow of her brows, “Qiuqiu, you didn’t answer me! When can I open the main planet?”
“Master, Master, I’m here.” Qiuqiu’s giddy voice rang from next to her feet.
Qiao Mu looked down in search of the voice and saw a cute little treant waving its branch at her.
The little treant only reached Qiao Mu’s waist in height, two branches forming two slender arms, and its two round, black-bean-like eyes were embedded in its trunk. There were four or five newly-grown leaves growing from its small, sharp head, swaying back and forth with the shaking of Qiuqiu’s branches.
“Qiuqiu!” This was Qiao Mu’s first time being in such close proximity with Qiuqiu in physical form.
In the past, she always used her inner sight to look at Qiuqiu in her dantian and perhaps using her mystic conscious to approach it at most.
“Yes, Master! I’m Qiuqiu, Master! My main body can’t move from the Star Domain, but I can break off my branches to use them as a doppelgänger and help Master manage Paradise Planet.” The little treant pulled on the corner of her clothes with a hop and easily climbed onto her arm before jumping onto her left shoulder, kicking away the white squirrel in the b.u.m and tyrannically dominating Qiao Mu’s left shoulder.
“Master, Qiuqiu misses you a lot! Master, long time no see! You keep getting prettier.” No matter what, sucking up would not be the wrong move, so Qiuqiu lavished its master in praises as soon as it got onto her shoulder.
The little stoic was unmoved and expressionlessly glanced at the treant from the corner of her eyes. “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Qiuqiu’s round eyes immediately drooped down, and its head slouched as an ashamed and hesitant expression washed over its face.
You’re a treant! Aren’t you a bit too expressive?!
“Tell me. I can handle it.” Qiao Mu was used to Qiuqiu’s unreliability already, so this was not a strange sight for her.
Qiuqiu looked up and blurted out a string of words like a rocket fire, “Although Master advanced to level-seven cultivation already, it’s just a tiny step in the path of cultivation. So we can’t gain access to Fish Orchid Planet right now, let alone the main planet.”
“Hold on, Fish Orchid Planet?” Qiao Mu had learned how to grasp the main point from the undependable sapling’s words.
“Hm? What did you say, Master?”
“You mentioned Fish Orchid Planet just now.”
“Fish Orchid Planet? Did I mention Fish Orchid Planet? What’s Fish Orchid Planet?” Confusion enveloped Qiuqiu’s beany eyes.
Look! What was there to say to a dim-witted tree? It managed to immediately forget what it said three sentences ago!
Qiao Mu was too lazy to insult it. It helplessly held it in front of her and poked the leaves on its head. “How many planets were activated in my star domain besides the main planet? I’m talking about before.”
“Are there other planets besides the main planet?” Qiuqiu looked at its little master in puzzlement.
Qiao Mu took a deep breath, repressing the lava-like fury that was about to erupt. Her face was stoic as her lips purposefully pulled into a stiff smile for the treant. “Qiuqiu.”
Ahh, Master’s expression is a little scary!
“How old are you?! Why do you have such a bad memory?!?!?!”
Qiuqiu replied sullenly, “I-I also don’t remember my age…”
The little treant was flung away, making a perfect arc in the air.
However, it soon ran back to Qiao Mu in tears and hugged Qiao Mu’s feet as it cried out vigorously, “I remember, I remember! I remember, Master! We also triggered this Paradise Planet besides the main planet!”
Ha ha…
