After finishing the barbecue, Feng Qinghuang asked Xiao Hua for a general understanding of the secret realm. However, Xiao Hua said that the secret realm would change randomly after each person entered, and it wasn't quite sure. In any case, it was a matter of life and death for everyone.
However, no one has ever dared to break it off and take it away.
"Little Flower, I just picked that section because I thought its color was the prettiest, but I never expected it would end up bringing you back. By the way, how can a broken flower and branch still survive?"
The little flower swayed in the wind: "Master, you don't know, we man-eating flowers are very resilient. You can break off any of them and throw them on the ground. As long as there is soil and water, we can survive."
Feng Qinghuang thought for a moment: "Then can all of you man-eating flowers talk?"
Little Flower swayed from side to side: "No, none of them can do that. Only I can, and I can understand everything they say. I've been able to speak since I was conscious. They say I'm their king. What does king mean, master?"
Feng Qinghuang was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected that this flower would be the king of man-eating flowers, but the little flower wasn't as ferocious as people said.
"What the king means is that you are their head, their leader. So why are your little minions so quiet when I take you down?"
At this moment, Feng Qinghuang was a little scared, because she had never expected there to be man-eating flowers here. The thought that her unintentional actions might lead to her being devoured sent a chill down her spine.
Little Flower shook even more violently: "Because I went with you willingly, otherwise, let alone break us, we could have swallowed her whole if we even bumped into her."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled and touched the petals: "Oh, you think you're so great? So, are you man-eating flowers only found in that one area or are they everywhere?"
Little Flower tilted her petals and thought for a moment: "They should be everywhere in this secret realm, but I've always been in this area, so I don't know."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Then, when we encounter man-eating flowers again, Little Flower, you must protect me well."
The little flower straightened its stem: "Don't worry, master, with me here, they wouldn't dare."
Feng Qinghuang touched the petals: "Hmm, alright, let's get ready to rest. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
Xiao Hua nodded, forming a wreath around Feng Qinghuang's right wrist.
Feng Qinghuang jumped onto a tree branch, tapped Tuanzi's head, and woke it up.
Tuanzi groggily raised its head, tilted its head to look at Feng Qinghuang, seemingly not quite understanding why it was being called.
Feng Qinghuang patted its little head: "Your master needs to rest now, you need to keep watch at night."
Tuanzi looked around, nodded, and rested her hand on her wrist, indicating that she should rest.
With Tuanzi keeping watch, Feng Qinghuang took out a cloak from her spatial storage, covered herself, and leaned against a tree branch to fall asleep. However, in this secret realm, she wouldn't truly sleep soundly; she would retain a sliver of spiritual energy to monitor the situation outside.
Meanwhile, the treasure-hunting beast had already fallen asleep on Feng Qinghuang's shoulder.
The night in this secluded place is tranquil and beautiful. Moonlight pours down like water, sprinkling the ground, casting dappled shadows on the trees, and chirping insects and birds on the lawn—everything is so peaceful and serene.
However, the dangers deep within this forest remain unknown and unknowable to anyone.
The next morning, after waking up, Feng Qinghuang jumped down from the tree branch and looked around. Nothing should have passed by last night, because the area was the same as last night, without much mess or other traces.
Feng Qinghuang took out some pastries and water from her spatial storage and placed the dumpling and small flower from her wrist on the tree stump. The treasure-hunting beast Xiao Bao then went over to eat with her.
Feng Qinghuang took out a damp handkerchief, casually wiped her face, and then hurriedly finished her breakfast.
After the little animals finished eating, she used the handkerchief she had just used to wipe their mouths and paws, not wanting to get herself covered in crumbs or anything like that.
"Alright, all done." After wiping, Feng Qinghuang casually tossed the handkerchief into her spatial storage, intending to destroy it once she left the secret realm.
She has memories of the future, so she can't pollute the environment or litter.
Feng Qinghuang stretched out her left and right hands: "Tuanzi, Xiaohua, come up here."
Tuanzi and Xiaohua nestled gracefully in Feng Qinghuang's arms, while Feng Qinghuang picked up Xiaobao and continued walking into the secret realm.
Feng Qinghuang tapped the treasure-hunting beast's nose: "Little Bao, don't disappoint me. No matter how well you train in this secret realm, the more treasures the better. Rare and precious materials, medicinal herbs, divine beasts—anything is fine. Understand?"
Xiao Bao held Feng Qinghuang's finger and nibbled on it, as if it were something delicious.
Feng Qinghuang sighed, "Oh, you little glutton, I don't even know if you understood! Can't you give me a response?" She could understand the magical beasts she had seen before, but this treasure-hunting beast was completely incomprehensible to her!
At this moment, Xiao Hua spoke up: "Master, this treasure-hunting beast is probably at a low level, just like Tuanzi. You need to form a contract with it to understand what it means."
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "Forget it, let's not form a contract with it since its level is too low. Let's wait until it becomes conscious before forming a contract with it. Because I don't know if it will agree or not, we can't form a contract like this."
Back when Tuanzi was a child, she had a contract with them. At that time, her cultivation level wasn't high, and she didn't understand beasts very well. But now she knows that beasts also have their own wishes, and they can't be forced.
