Chapter 480: Displaced Anger
“Little Treasure, you’re Master’s good child. You’ve already grown to be so big and so beautiful. Master only hopes that you will be well. Right now, both your spirit and your body are unable to control the f.u.xi Greatsword, so you must absolutely remember not to summon it out. Good child, both Master and your Aunt-Master miss you very much…”
As the projection dissipated, her voice still lingered by her ear.
The little stoic lay there blankly without moving. As her nose tingled in grief, one sentence kept reverberating in her head:
Master, Aunt-Master! Don’t abandon Little Treasure! Don’t abandon Little Treasure; Little Treasure will be obedient!
“Master!!” The sapling’s voice suddenly sounded with a trace of anxiety and alarm. “What is going on? How did you get in this miserable wreck when I only just entered closed-door cultivation for a little over a month?”
“Qiuqiu, the sect master died. Murong Xun also died. Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, and the others also died. Even Big Treasure has died. I don’t have anything left anymore.” The little stoic said pitifully as she hugged Big Treasure’s round head.
“How is it possible that you don’t have anything left? Regardless of what the future holds, at least you still have me, Qiuqiu! No matter where Master goes, Qiuqiu will accompany Master!” Qiuqiu cried out with an aching heart.
“Master, don’t be afraid and don’t worry. First return to Paradise Planet, and Qiuqiu will also bring your senior sisters there too, okay?”
“Okay.” Qiao Mu’s voice was dry, and she nodded gently.
Even if there were only a bunch of broken limbs, she still wanted to bury them properly.
She’ll bury them on the Peach Orchard Slope in Paradise Planet. That area was encircled by a jade lake and looked out across a peach grove. Her senior sisters would certainly like the scenery there very much, right…
“Master, your conscious is just about exhausted. You have to rest well and recover properly!” After the sapling carried Qiao Mu back into Paradise Planet, it crouched beside her. The two black beady eyes on its trunk gazed at her in deep concern.
“I want to lie here for a while. I don’t want to think about anything or talk about anything.”
“Master.”
“Where’s the holy water?” Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something and redirected her attention.
“After the holy water fused with you, it would also receive a potion of my power. It should have pretty much finished absorbing by now. I’ll go drag it over.” The sapling was considerate and secretly sent it a message: Master is in a very bad mood right now, so you have to be careful.
Ever since Qiao Mu fused with the holy water’s essence, the two little ones were able to form an indirect connection.
“Gurgle!” The little water blob shrunk itself into a small, solid ice bead and hopped docilely into its little master’s hand.
Ever since its essence completely fused with its master, Lady Holy Water had obtained benefits from the sapling, so it entered closed-door cultivation.
After leeching off the sapling’s power, both it and the sapling had simultaneously advanced into the mid-toddler stage now.
“Masta, you can now summon out Dottie with a simple thought, and Dottie will attack with liquid and solid water forms at will.” The little ice bead abruptly transformed into a water blob, quietly gliding about Qiao Mu’s palm.
Yet Qiao Mu stayed expressionless, and all of a sudden, she threw it away with a flip of her hand. “Leave. Starting now, I’m not your master. Leave my mystic domain, and go wherever you wish.”
The little water blob morphed into a bulb-headed water doll with a plop. It strode over abruptly and leaped to Qiao Mu’s side, crying out pitifully, “Why, Master? What did Dottie do wrong? Master, don’t be angry!”
