“The baby is insecure because he has no family. He is so young and already so anxious. When I was his age, I was still snuggling in my mother’s arms and acting spoiled.”
I just felt sorry for him. I also have poison properties, so the poison gas below wasn't fatal to me.
If I knew his tiny body was lying there and abandoned him, how would I be any different from those bastards I despise?
I once lay dying on the decaying earth, but now I can stand here, with you and Yan Lin by my side, not because of myself, but because of the people who chose to stop and save me.
Moreover, the road ahead is long, and we will venture into the upper realm together. Although Baby is wary of us now, who knows if he will become our family in the future?
Just imagine, he's born with a poisonous constitution. How incredible he'll be when he grows up! Imagine your divine beast unleashing its power, and he'll poison thousands! Doesn't that scene feel awe-inspiring?
This was the first time Aju had communicated with Dongfang Mian like this. Initially unwilling, it gradually transformed into a docile kitten through Dongfang Mian's words.
"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you. Okay, go save that little poisoner, but let's make it clear first, if he doesn't listen to me later, I'm going to spank him," Aju said, raising her little paws.
Dongfang Mian smiled upon hearing this and gave Aju a big kiss on the cheek, saying, "I knew our Aju was the kindest."
Orange Cat blushed and turned its little face away, "Don't try that, this divine beast doesn't fall for that."
After opening up about their feelings, Dongfang Mian and Aju began searching for a way to get off the cliff.
"Why don't you just jump off and try it?" Ah Ju said, looking at the cliff.
Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes at it, annoyed. "Why don't you just jump down and try it yourself? Don't they say cats have nine lives?"
"I'm not a cat!"
"I think we should climb down. Come into my arms and I'll wrap ourselves in poisonous spiritual energy. That should be enough to ward off the poisonous miasma," Dongfang Mian thought for a long time and decided that this was the most reliable way.
Without hesitation, Dongfang Mian carried Aju down the cliff. Using her vine-entwining skill, Dongfang Mian swiftly climbed along the vines and quickly approached the poisonous miasma area.
Dongfang Mian held her breath and focused all her energy on releasing her poisonous spiritual energy, but when the spiritual energy came into contact with the poisonous miasma, an ominous sound still emanated from it.
The poisonous miasma was far more dangerous than Dongfang Mian had imagined, constantly corroding her spiritual energy. She suspected that without poisonous spiritual energy, she would be corroded into dust the moment she came into contact with this miasma.
The descent of Dongfang Mian slowed down significantly. During this time, Aju tried to peek out to take a look, but she was pushed back down by Dongfang Mian.
After quite a while, they finally made it through the poisonous miasma area and successfully descended to the bottom of the cliff.
"I'm going to change my clothes because they're dirty. You wait here and don't look," Dongfang Mian said after landing.
Soon, she changed her clothes and came out from the corner to call Ah Ju to continue looking for the baby. Ah Ju noticed that there was a patch of blisters on Dongfang Mian's exposed neck caused by the toxic gas, and the area where it rubbed against her clothes had already broken open.
Seeing Dongfang Mian's nonchalant demeanor, Aju remained silent for a while, saying nothing, but silently leading the way to continue searching for the baby. However, an unintentional raised paw instantly brought a tear to the corner of her eye.
Due to the miasma, almost no animals or plants could survive in the valley. Soon, they discovered something unusual in a cave not far away.
