Feng Qinghuang felt like she had been walking in the secret realm for a whole day, just walking and walking, without encountering any danger. Except for a flower hanging on her right wrist and a small beast of unknown species perched on her shoulder.
They were all picked up casually on the road, and they looked quite pretty. The flowers were picked by the roadside, their red blossoms and green leaves were especially beautiful, and she wrapped them around her right wrist after picking them up. The small, palm-sized beast was pure white, with glassy eyes that seemed to see right into one's heart; its body was completely free of any other color, so how could she give it up?
Feng Qinghuang knew that time in the secret realm would be different from that in the outside world, so she didn't pay much attention to the time difference within the secret realm. At this moment, she only felt a little hungry, so she found an open space nearby, gathered some firewood, and prepared to roast the meat in the space.
Before leaving, Rong Qi had packed a lot of raw meat, dried food, and snacks into her space. Feng Qinghuang put the little beast on the ground, found a leaf, took out two pieces of pastry and placed them on it, letting the little beast eat some pastries first.
He gathered the branches together, lit a fire, then shaved several clean branches, skewered the meat from the space, brushed it with oil, and began his barbecue journey.
Soon the aroma of roasted meat filled the air. The little beast had finished its pastries and was now drooling as it stared longingly at the roasted meat in Feng Qinghuang's hand.
Feng Qinghuang was overjoyed to see the little beast.
"You know barbecue is delicious, right? But wait a minute, we need to brush on some sauce first."
At this moment, the little flower on Feng Qinghuang's right wrist also moved, stretching its petals towards the direction of the roasted meat.
Looking at the little flower, Feng Qinghuang felt something was strange; it seemed as if the flower was alive.
However, Feng Qinghuang thought it was unlikely, since she had already broken off the flowers; how could they possibly be alive?
Feng Qinghuang released the silver snake from her left wrist, brushed the meat with sauce, and set it aside. She let it eat it itself while she grilled more.
The little beast ran to the opposite side of the silver snake, staring at the roasted meat and, incidentally, at the silver snake.
Feng Qinghuang looked at them amusedly: "You're not allowed to fight, okay? Everyone has one. If anyone tries to take it, I won't want them anymore."
The silver snake and the small beast each bit one end of the meat and began to chew slowly, keeping their eyes fixed on the other side as they ate, afraid that the other might accidentally swallow the whole thing.
At this moment, the small flower on Feng Qinghuang's wrist suddenly fell off and moved towards the silver snake and the little beast.
When it reached them, smelling the roasted meat, it swallowed the piece between the two of them in one gulp. The silver snake and the little beast were dumbfounded. "You're a flower, and you're eating meat? That's too much!"
Feng Qinghuang also saw this and was extremely puzzled. Was this flower really alive and even ate meat?
Feng Qinghuang quickly put the roasted meat in her hand in the usual place and stared at it, wanting to see what was going on with this flower.
But after a long time, neither the two beasts nor the flower moved. The little beast glanced at the roasted meat, then at Feng Qinghuang, and suddenly ran away. It then ran back in an instant, but when it returned, it was holding Feng Qinghuang's roasted meat sauce in its two front paws.
"Oh, so that explains why you weren't eating. Turns out I had to brush sauce on you. You guys are really picky eaters."
Helpless, Feng Qinghuang could only obediently brush on the sauce. As soon as she put it down, the two beasts pounced on it.
Feng Qinghuang pinched the flower between two fingers and lifted it up: "What exactly are you? I understand that Tuanzi and that little beast eat meat, but you, a living flower, actually eat meat? This secret realm is really quite interesting."
The little flower swayed its stem and leaves back and forth, it was anxious, the roast meat was going to be gone. Suddenly, it thought of something and bit Feng Qinghuang's finger, causing Feng Qinghuang to drop the little flower to the ground in pain.
Just as Feng Qinghuang was about to examine her finger, she discovered that there was no wound at all.
Feng Qinghuang was extremely frustrated. What on earth was this thing? It not only ate meat but also bit people.
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice echoed in Feng Qinghuang's mind: "Master, I'm not a toy, I'm a man-eating flower, of course I eat meat."
Feng Qinghuang stared in shock at the little flower on the ground: "Was it you who spoke?"
Little Flower nodded as she ate, "It's me, Master."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled in exasperation. She'd casually picked a flower and ended up with a big shot! So it was a man-eating flower. No wonder, it bit and ate flesh.
Feng Qinghuang tapped Xiaohua's head: "Xiaohua, have you been in this secret realm the whole time?"
Xiao Hua shook her head: "I've been here since I became conscious, for hundreds of years now."
Feng Qinghuang wasn't curious. A few hundred years in the secret realm could be a few decades outside, or even a few thousand years outside; anything is possible.
Do you recognize that little animal over there?
Xiao Hua glanced at the little beast: "If I'm not mistaken, it's a treasure-hunting beast. With it leading the way, we can find any treasure. Master, there are many treasures in this secret realm."
Feng Qinghuang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Hahaha, then this trip to the secret realm was definitely worthwhile. I heard people say that this place is very dangerous when I came here, is that true?"
Little Flower shook its branches and leaves: "That's for others. With Little Flower around, it will swallow anything."
Feng Qinghuang couldn't help but chuckle at Xiao Hua's words. What a boastful tone! But she liked it. Even if there was danger, she wasn't afraid; after all, she was here for training!
