Seeing that she was really angry, Fan Xing quickly looked at her seriously.
Then he pulled Xia Beinian to kneel down and kowtow.
"Lord Kang, how are you! It's been so long! You've become even more adorable! You're the cutest baby we've seen in a thousand years!"
Wu Hua's habit of enjoying flattery hasn't changed at all.
It raised its hand towards the two of them: "Get up! No need to be so polite, hehe~"
The two stood up and showered Wu Hua with compliments, making her immediately feel flattered.
Finally, Xia Beinian continued to flatter Wu Hua, while Fan Xing pulled Qin Luo aside to reminisce.
Qin Luo recounted her experiences leaving Qiugui County once again.
Fan Xing cried several times after hearing this, not only for her, but also for Mu Feng, Shui Ying, and Niu Niu.
Qin Luo initially wanted to question her about the storybook, but seeing how badly she was crying, he decided against it.
It's perfectly normal for adults to look at those things; it's her own fault for not checking, so you can't blame her.
She had just finished reflecting on her actions when she heard Wu Hua clamoring to buy osmanthus cake.
It turned out that Xia Beinian had told it that the osmanthus flowers bloomed exceptionally well last year, and every household had dried many of them.
The food they made was absolutely amazing, and Wu Hua couldn't resist it.
Flattery can't compare to the aroma of delicious food; it absolutely must go and try all the dishes made with osmanthus.
Qin Luo had actually used the osmanthus flowers from her space to make food before, but the taste wasn't quite right, so Wu Hua forbade her from wasting the osmanthus flowers again.
Qin Luo figured they'd already finished reminiscing about the past, so she took Wu Hua's hand and prepared to go shopping.
Fan Xing and Xia Beinian also wanted to go along, and the two souls—one human, one beast, and two spirits—set off towards the market.
Wu Hua ate in front, Qin Luo paid behind, and if they bought too much, they had it delivered to the Divine Stone House.
Fan Xing also sent a telepathic message to the guards of the Divine Stone House, instructing them not to obstruct the merchants from delivering goods.
The guards were all very surprised.
"Why is Lord Shenshi in such high spirits today? He even went out shopping?"
Another soldier chimed in, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see the adult's friend has arrived?"
"That's right. The adults went to pick them up in person, so they must be extremely important people. I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed at the Divine Stone House at night, let alone go shopping with us!"
The soldier was right; that very night, Qin Luo and Wu Hua slept in the Divine Stone House.
Qin Luo stored the osmanthus cakes, osmanthus wine, osmanthus spices, osmanthus wine, and other osmanthus-based foods and supplies she had bought during the day into her spatial storage.
Wu Hua also took Fan Xing and Xia Beinian into her spatial dimension. The two souls were suddenly transported to a different location, giving them a fright.
Seeing Qin Luo and Wu Hua enter afterward, I instantly felt relieved.
Only then did I have the mind to look at what the space looked like.
After being introduced by Qin Luo, Erhun first greeted Tengteng Titi and Su Junli.
After that, I browsed around the space as if I were at home.
Seeing the fully planted fields, Fan Xing was incredibly envious.
"Sister, you are so lucky! Just looking at these plants makes me feel good, let alone eating them! It's a pity I'm just a soul now, I can't enjoy any of these delicacies!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo led her and Xia Beinian to the Bodhi tree and patted the trunk of the tree.
Then the chanting from the Bodhi tree enveloped the two souls.
Fan Xing looked at the Bodhi tree with curiosity.
"I didn't realize! This tree is a manual media player! That's a great feature! It makes me feel so much more carefree!"
Xia Beinian nodded in agreement.
"It's Buddhist chanting, which can cleanse the soul and mind. We've gotten a great deal!"
Then, she bowed to the Bodhi tree. It was the first time Titi had been thanked so sincerely, and she shook the branches shyly.
Qin Luo told them to enjoy themselves under the Bodhi tree while he took Wu Hua to wash up.
Su Junli observed Fan Xing and Xia Beinian slowly from the side.
After realizing how different they were from me, the glimmer of hope that had just begun to grow in my heart was extinguished once again.
He then became irritable, and his soul gradually became unclear.
Sensing his emotions, Tengteng quickly wrapped herself around him, comforting him as if soothing her own child.
Titi also enveloped him with Sanskrit chants, and after a moment, his consciousness cleared.
He felt his earlier thoughts were despicable, and he saw Fan Xing and Xia Beinian.
He even wondered if he could stay by Qin Luo's side like them.
Perhaps because the time of departure was drawing closer, his mind became somewhat hazy due to his obsession.
You must control yourself, or the consequences are unimaginable...
Tengteng seemed to understand his thoughts, and used her lightning-based power to trap him under the Bodhi tree!
Fan Xing and Xia Beinian, who were confused, looked at Su Junli standing in the circle with great curiosity.
Since Qin Luo didn't elaborate, only saying that he was a close friend they were about to see off, the two souls didn't pay much attention at first.
Judging from the plants' attitude towards him now, it's probably more than just a friendship.
Fan Xing transformed into the Soul of Bagua, but the soul's greatest fear was the power of lightning, so he could only move to a short distance outside the circle.
"Hey, Soul! What's your relationship with my sisters?"
Su Junli ignored her and focused on being washed.
Ignoring his attitude, Fan Xing continued, "You wouldn't happen to be her dead childhood sweetheart, would you? She hid you here? Wow~~ A love story between a human and a ghost!"
Upon hearing this, Su Junli's consciousness began to become confused again.
Sensing his anger, Titi immediately isolated him from the outside world and then sent Tengteng to fetch Wuhua.
Qin Luo had just finished bathing Wu Hua and was getting dressed when Tengteng came over.
It didn't dare let Qin Luo know, and just continued to pester Wu Hua to play as usual.
Seeing that the two were having a good time, Qin Luo greeted them and went to take a bath.
As soon as she left, Tengteng wrapped itself around Wuhua and started climbing. Wuhua sensed his intention and didn't resist.
Upon reaching the Bodhi tree, it used its life force to knock Su Junli unconscious and placed him behind the Bodhi tree.
He instructed Tengteng not to remove the lightning power, as it didn't know why Su Junli had suddenly developed two consciousnesses.
One wanted to leave, the other didn't.
Moreover, this unwillingness to leave is particularly strong, almost consuming his main consciousness. Could this be the drawback of the second mutation?
Its tiny head was contemplating big questions, and it just couldn't figure them out.
It wasn't until Fan Xing, that chatterbox, spoke up that it remembered to ask her.
"Fan Xing, how many times have you mutated?"
Fan Xing answered honestly, "Once! What's wrong with that?"
"Have you seen multiple mutants?"
"Of course, they are divided into two types: one type has a strong main consciousness, which will directly devour the newly formed consciousness when it undergoes multiple mutations; the other type has a weak main consciousness and is devoured by the new consciousness!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua was somewhat worried.
"What would happen if the main consciousness were devoured?"
"They will become tyrannical, stop at nothing to achieve their goals, gradually lose their humanity, become unable to distinguish right from wrong, and see everyone except themselves as their adversary!"
"What if, after being devoured, he really wants to be with someone?"
"Then he'd snatch her away, monitor her constantly, and turn her into his plaything..."
As she spoke, she realized something was wrong, and her hand pointing at Su Junli began to tremble uncontrollably.
"He...he...he...he's mutated multiple times? Is he about to be devoured by his own consciousness?"
