Because of Xia Xiao's caution and the request of the four spirit beasts, during the time when he was washing his bones, they all entered a deep state, using their full energy to pull out the medicinal power that was impacting Xia Xiao's body, allowing them to remain in Xia Xiao's body and help him reshape his body.
So when Xia Xiao entered the forest, Ju Mang did not come, and he walked alone in it. However, the scene in his eyes was so vivid that even if Ju Mang woke up, he would not know what had happened.
In the past, there were many flowers in the Wood Element Space, all of which were small daisies or dandelions, with the former being rare and the latter being more common. At this moment, what appeared in Xia Xiao's eyes was a strange flower that he had never seen before. This flower had the shape of a snow lotus, but the petals were not white, but the same color as the leaves, extremely green, and full of vitality, as if filled with it.
The flowers are constantly spinning, like wind blowing through the trees, causing the leaves to sway and rustle. It is mysterious and charming, making you want to explore its secrets.
There are a lot of flowers like this, growing in every corner of the forest. They look ordinary, but the fluctuations emanating from them make them look like some kind of magical medicine. However, he can't remember what kind of magical medicine looks like this, and why would it grow here?
Xia Xiao squatted under a big tree and finally noticed the peculiarity of these flowers. They would only bloom when he passed by or stayed, and after he left, they would close their buds tightly, just the opposite of mimosa. Xia Xiao looked back and saw that it was exactly as he thought.
As a grown man, he also had expectations for beautiful things, but this kind of place was still suitable for Ah Zhu. But it was a pity that she had no chance to see these flowers.
Reaching out his hand, Xia Xiao poked the extremely elastic petals with his fingers, which was like touching a few balls of jelly, and his mood suddenly improved. Was this a favor bestowed upon him by the Great Wilderness after he had his bones washed? If so, it was too thoughtful. But he vaguely felt that it was not that simple, because the flower that was being rubbed in his hand suddenly moved.
The flower that had previously taken root in the ground jumped up, and its roots turned into two short legs. It blinked a pair of huge and bright eyes and looked at Xia Xiao, with some blame in its eyes, and waved a pair of soft little fists.
"The little guy has quite a temper."
As soon as Xia Xiao opened his mouth, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that everything had finally returned to normal, and these difficult days were coming to an end.
The elf-like flower in his hand grew from the ground and felt like a steamed bun made by Ah Zhu. But when Xia Xiao looked at it, he finally understood why the little guy hit him. It turned out that he had rubbed the petals a little too hard, causing its face to turn slightly red. But it was so cute. It kept struggling in Xia Xiao's hand, making his palm slightly itchy, and then Xia Xiao gently put it on the ground and walked towards the altar.
Little Mantou followed Xia Xiao, struggling with his short legs to keep up. However, when he jumped up and punched, he was knocked far behind by Xia Xiao's unintentional movement. Little Mantou bounced on the ground many times, puffed up his cheeks when he stood up, and rushed forward again, but Xia Xiao had disappeared. He gave up the chase and lay on the ground with his pink tongue sticking out. He was exhausted after running for so long.
The altar was located at the innermost part of the forest. In the past, it was surrounded by dense trees, with only a small piece of grass bathed in the sun. But now the grass was occupied by countless flowers. Seeing Xia Xiao coming, they all bloomed, and the faint green glow made the forest more peaceful. However, Xia Xiao was full of questions, and he still didn't know where these flowers came from.
Could it be Ju Mang's fault? Probably not. Based on his understanding of Ju Mang, even if he did such a thing, he would have discussed it with him in advance.
He raised his foot, but before he put it down, countless small flowers had already run away, leaving a place for him to stand. Xia Xiao walked up to the altar, where Ju Mang was still suspended, not awake, because the last bone washing had not been completed. Only when Xia Xiao woke up would they open their eyes that had been closed for a long time.
Ju Mang, who had entered a very deep state, had a stern expression on his face, but it did not prevent him from being handsome. The countless flowers under him were like his believers, blooming at this time, emitting crystal light. Although it was not so bright in the sun, it gave Xia Xiao an excellent feeling, for some reason.
Suddenly, Xia Xiao thought of the other three rows of space, walked down the altar, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Many small steamed bun-like flowers looked around, but Xia Xiao had already reached the vast ocean.
Xia Xiao was full of energy in the Wood Element Space, like a lush tree in the sun, full of vitality. When he arrived in the sea, his hair fluttered like seaweed, diving into the depths with his fast-moving body. Compared to the forest, it was slightly cooler here, but he had adapted to it the moment he arrived, like a fish returning home.
Before reaching the altar, Xia Xiao discovered flowers in the water. These flowers did not grow on the seabed, but had tentacles like jellyfish, floating in the water, adding a lot of vitality to this sea. Originally, this place was vast and monotonous, with only Xiaoyu and three big fish, but now there are countless flowers, like Kongming lanterns under the night sky, rising from the dark sea to the bright sea surface. Some also sank from the sea surface, carefree, and innocent as if they would stay in childhood forever.
Xia Xiao leaned over to take a look. The flowers here had bodies, but they were covered with sea-colored long skirts, which seemed translucent, but one could still see their slender bodies and delicate limbs. Compared with the flowers in the forest, they were less energetic and more gentle. The little hand stroked Xia Xiao's face, and then the dancer shaped like the sea twisted her body in the eternal song, and soon went away, never to stay.
"Where are you from?"
The flowers that exist in both spaces must not be simple. Moreover, Xia Xiao saw that Xiaoyu was still trapped in that extremely deep state on the altar, which could not be her doing.
A few months later, Xiaoyu had grown up. Xia Xiao couldn't help but stare at her, and after a sigh of regret after not seeing her for a long time, he gradually became surprised.
Xiaoyu was two or three meters tall before, and still had a girlish demeanor, but now her feminine features were extremely prominent, with her white and tender breasts so full that they were almost visible even without a plain cloth. The lines of her waist were also amazing, with a curve that was eye-catching. Her little face was much more mature, but her expression when she closed her eyes was still a little timid.
Her long hair was like waves, fluttering with the sea water, enough to stir the sea and make it messy. Among them, there were a few strands of sea blue hair, trying to change her timid image, but such things should not be forced, what kind of personality, what kind of things should be done.
The flower could hardly speak, it just whimpered. Xia Xiao didn't understand what it said, but when he looked into its eyes, he saw only purity, nothing else, not even himself reflected in its eyes.
This feeling, as if seeing an endless abyss and sea of clouds, made Xia Xiao fall into deep thought for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot and came to the edge of the fire space.
Xia Xiao was very familiar with the steps of climbing mountains, so he walked up and stood at the crater, looking in. There were also some flowers in the burning and boiling slurry, but they were no longer the green of the forest, nor were they the colorful and dreamy colors of the jellyfish in the sea. Instead, they were the same red as flames, no different from molten lava.
Holding up a large flower with flames as petals, Xia Xiao was surprised by its extremely high temperature. However, he frowned not because of these characteristics of the flower, but because the flower not only spit fire at him, but also made him feel a little hot. Throwing it away, the large red flower fell into the molten lava with a plop, and the splashes of molten lava turned into some funny things.
Xia Xiao was in a hurry to go to the Gold Element Space. When he stood on the periphery, he saw similar flowers in the Earth Element Space which had not yet awakened. They looked like bud-shaped stones growing on the earth.
It might be the work of the spiritual medicine. Xia Xiao had absorbed a lot of pills made from spiritual medicine during this period. But after having them, would he not be poisoned in the future? Xia Xiao felt that it was possible. Although poison was considered as wood, there were poisons in all things in the world and in the five elements. If he could be immune to all poisons in the future, then the past few months were worthwhile, and it was reasonable that his vitality cultivation did not improve.
There was a lot of vitality in the elixir, but for safety reasons, Xia Xiao used that vitality to restore his body. He was young, so he couldn't have too many hidden diseases. His internal organs and tendons had to be intact. Everything was going as planned, and Xia Xiao was quite satisfied. He just needed to know the reason for the flower.
The flowers in the gold space were the most domineering. Like the other three flowers, they were constantly spinning, but their petals were black and purple blades. When they bloomed, they looked like some kind of hidden weapon that could be shot out, which made Xia Xiao feel cold behind him. As long as it was not something harmful to him, Xia Xiao would not mind having more. On the contrary, the more, the better.
Looking at the constantly rotating blade, the space in front of Xia Xiao's eyes twisted. It was time for him to go back, as Howard and Azhu were still waiting.
When Xia Xiao opened his eyes, Ah Zhu still didn't dare to move forward. But the hint of joy in Xia Xiao's eyes made Howard, who had scanned Xia Xiao's body, pat Ah Zhu's shoulder and said softly:
"He's already well, go ahead!"
Ah Zhu was a little confused. She was still afraid, but Xia Xiao was already walking towards her. She looked at Xia Xiao. Was he really okay? If he was, she would rush over to hug him. She might have worried that Xia Xiao would push her away before, but now she felt that Xia Xiao would never do that again. Ah Zhu walked forward slowly, biting her lip, and wanted to ask, but she couldn't speak because of excitement.
Spreading out his hands, Xia Xiao made a gesture that was convenient for hugging and asked:
"Don't you want a hug?"
He had a smile on his face. When Ah Zhu saw it, he couldn't help it and rushed over and hugged Xia Xiao.
This was the way Xia Xiao had thought of returning. In the past few months, he had been like a dead man. Now that he was finally back, he could finally stop restraining his emotions and stop being so cautious. But the one who was really cautious was Ah Zhu. She burst into tears in Xia Xiao's arms.
Xia Xiao knew that Ah Zhu had suffered a lot of grievances and was very worried, so he put his hand on the top of her head and stroked it gently.
"It's all right. It's all right."
Ah Zhu cried like a child and lost consciousness. In the past few months, only Howard knew how much she had done. No matter how busy she was every day, she would look at Xia Xiao for a long time. Howard said that Xia Xiao could not sense it and let him do his own thing, but Ah Zhu did not want to. She wanted to accompany Xia Xiao. Now, the person she was with can finally come back to accompany her.
Feeling the warmth in Xia Xiao's arms, Ah Zhu couldn't stop crying for a long time, and finally cried loudly, with big tears falling down. She could only cry like this when Xia Xiao was well, and she was usually very strong.
Perhaps, this means leaving the grievances and sadness to the person you like, not losing your temper with him/her, but releasing and venting all your emotions when facing the person you like.
