With Xiao Ding's large size, the cafeteria felt empty without him.
They usually chatter away during meals, but today the kids all kept their heads down and ate very quietly.
The atmosphere was heavy and sad.
Xiao Jia didn't know how to comfort everyone. She looked around and realized that Hoshino hadn't come to eat.
Where is Hoshino?
The babies raised their heads and shook them.
"I don't know!"
Sometimes he comes to eat, sometimes he doesn't.
Meimei said, "Hoshino has been spending time with Xiaoding lately, he must be very sad."
Shanshan said, "I don't think so. He must have been stealing food in the cave. Xiao Ding said he ate the Vermilion Bird dish made by the headmistress in the cave last time."
Meimei argued, "No, he'll definitely be sad. He even plucked your hair for Xiao Ding."
Shanshan got angry, "Don't say these things while we're eating! You're making me lose my appetite."
They're such little kids; they started arguing in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Jia was about to try and break up the fight.
Shanshan wasn't angry anymore, but asked Meimei sadly, "Could it be that I plucked Xiaoding's hair, and before his new hair grew in, his father got angry and took him away?"
Meimei turned her little body to the side, wrapped her little arms around him, and patted him gently to comfort him, "No, don't blame yourself, Brother Shanshan. This has nothing to do with you. Maybe even Xiaoding's father has never seen what Xiaoding looks like when he grows hair."
The two made up quickly.
It seems I don't need his persuasion anymore.
During the time he was in the Core Formation stage, everyone seemed to have matured a bit.
Xiao Jia felt a pang of sadness.
After he awakened from Core Formation, he did consider leaving the Hundred Beasts Garden.
The newly built breathing room is more suitable for demonic beasts before they reach the Core Formation stage.
After forming the core, which is equivalent to the Golden Core stage of a cultivator, one will find their most compatible attribute, cultivate their natal spell, and find their natal magic weapon.
This requires a special training ground for spells of the corresponding attributes, as well as a lot of refining materials.
But right now, even the training grounds for the monsters in the wild haven't been built yet, and the alchemy furnace is just a fire pit made of mud by the little fairy boy, making it difficult to create sophisticated magical artifacts.
The martial arts techniques of the Hundred Beasts Garden are from a thousand years ago and have not been updated for too long, so they are somewhat unsuitable for the current situation.
However, he won't leave!
No matter how dilapidated this place is, it is still his home. As the first demon beast cub to form a core, he must help the headmistress manage the Hundred Beast Garden!
He put the food that Hoshino hadn't eaten on a plate and took it to Hoshino's private cave in the back mountain.
Inside the cave, the dim light of the spirit stone lamp illuminated two shadows.
Hoshino was talking to the little fairy boy: "I need to use the storage ring. I need to go find Xiao Ding."
Xiao Jia: "..."?
