The Chaos Pearl actually wanted to follow Zhou Yuanyuan closely. Although it couldn't compete with Boss Xiaoyu for favor, it had to at least consolidate its position as the "number two spiritual treasure", right?
Unfortunately, no matter how Chaos Pearl flirted, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't allow it. The Zhou family's defenses were at their weakest right now. Ouyang Xin had already boarded a train north that afternoon to cover for Wen Ziqing. Wen Ziqing was unconscious again. Since Zhou Yuanyuan had promised Ouyang Xin that she would protect General Zhou, she couldn't let him be in any danger. Oh, no! Even without Ouyang Xin's involvement, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't let her great-grandfather be threatened in the slightest.
Chaos Pearl could only watch Zhou Yuanyuan leave.
After Zhou Yuanyuan left, the Chaos Pearl flew around the house and courtyard several times, looking for any "enemies" who would dare to tamper with its aunt Zhuzhu's body. Of course, it found nothing. An hour later, the Chaos Pearl thought, how could the days that used to be so comfortable be so boring without its master?
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Chaos Pearl decided to fly to the rooftop to bask in the moonlight and wait for Zhou Yuanyuan to return home. Chaos Pearl remembered his master's words: "The higher you stand, the farther you can see." Chaos Pearl figured that by lying on the rooftop, he would be the first to spot the car carrying his master home.
Moonlight is also one of the energies that the Chaos Pearl can absorb. Unfortunately, the energy of moonlight is too little for the Chaos Pearl. Hmm... To use Xiaoyu's words, it's not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth. However, it's better than nothing.
Chaos Pearl had only been lying on the roof for a dozen minutes. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he was startled by a timid voice.
"Grandma Zhuzhu..., Grandma Zhuzhu..." It is worthy of being the Kongming Stone, the sound of calling has its own echo.
"What?" Chaos Pearl then remembered that it was not the only spiritual treasure in the house! There was also Kongming. Although Kongming was not the master's spiritual treasure, Kongming's master said that he belonged to his master. In this case, Kongming became its little brother!
The Chaos Pearl flew up, ready to go see what Kong Ming was thinking about. The Chaos Pearl and Kong Ming each served their own masters, and if they were too far away, the Chaos Pearl wouldn't be able to hear what Kong Ming was saying. If Kong Ming hadn't spent most of the day in the Chaos Pearl's trial world, the Chaos Pearl wouldn't have been able to hear Kong Ming's call through Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness.
"Aunt Zhuzhu, I have a favor to ask of you." Kong Ming's voice was somewhat flattering. There was no other way, since he needed a favor from Zhu now.
"Speak." Chaos Pearl was still as majestic and domineering as usual.
"Aunt Zhuzhu, could you please transfer some spiritual energy to my master?" Kong Ming carefully negotiated with Chaos Pearl.
"What? You're so bold! How dare you ask me to expend my energy?" To output spiritual energy, the Chaos Pearl had to consume its own energy. This was something the stingy Chaos Pearl could not tolerate.
This broken stone is so outrageous. The spiritual energy of Aunt Zhuzhu is a very precious thing. Even the owner didn't ask it for spiritual energy! Has this broken stone become so bold?
After the Chaos Pearl jumped up and down in the air for a few times, it became more and more angry. With a "whoosh", it flew into Wen Ziqing's room through the window, ready to settle the score with Kong Ming.
The Chaos Pearl's menacing appearance frightened Kong Ming, who was hiding in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness.
"Grandma Zhu... Aunt Zhu, I... I have a courage of stone, I don't... I don't have that kind of courage of a dog." Kong Ming was afraid, but he would still argue with reason. It was a spiritual treasure, but being called a dog by the Chaos Pearl was too much, right?
"Hey! Boy, do you want to be beaten? Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you are hiding in your master's sea of consciousness." Chaos Pearl was so angry that it wanted to smash Wen Ziqing's head when it saw Kong Ming dared to talk back.
The Chaos Pearl would never admit to being jealous. The Sea of Consciousness! It was where it wanted to be. Unfortunately, its master's Sea of Consciousness had become the domain of Xiaoyu, the boss. The Chaos Pearl no longer dared to compete with Xiaoyu for favor, and could only bully Kongming, who was treated "comparable" to Xiaoyu.
"Stop... stop, stop, stop!" Kong Ming didn't know that he had aroused the jealousy of the Chaos Pearl. Seeing that the Chaos Pearl was about to hit Wen Ziqing's head regardless of anything, he screamed in fear, and his nervous voice broke.
Before Kong Ming could even scream, the Chaos Pearl had already stopped moving. The Chaos Pearl wasn't stupid. Who was Wen Ziqing? The future man of its master. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's concern for Wen Ziqing, the Chaos Pearl wouldn't do anything to harm him! It was just trying to scare Kong Ming.
"Grandma Zhuzhu, please, give some of your spiritual energy to my master! Kongming wouldn't want your spiritual energy for nothing. I'll trade it for Soul Water." Kongming was nearly frightened to death by the Chaos Pearl. Wen Ziqing was unconscious, unable to automatically create a spiritual energy shield. Without the protection of a spiritual energy shield, a cultivator's body was extremely fragile. The Chaos Pearl's powerful blow would surely shatter Wen Ziqing's brain.
Soul water? This is a good thing! Chaos Pearl recalled the rare delicacy in his memory. After slurping his saliva, he thought about how to exchange it.
"Stone boy, how much spiritual energy do you want?" Chaos Pearl was afraid of being cheated, so he asked Kong Ming to tell him the number first.
"Aunt Zhuzhu, I don't know how much spiritual energy it will take." Kong Ming thought for a moment and said honestly.
"Hey! Are you trying to tease me? I'll beat you to a pulp!" the Chaos Pearl raged. This broken stone was cunning. Fortunately, it was smart enough to ask clearly. Otherwise, once it agreed, the broken stone would have told it a huge amount, exhausting it to death. Every action of their spiritual treasures was governed by the laws of nature; once promised, they couldn't go back on their word.
"Aunt Zhuzhu, this is what happened. Several silk threads appeared above my master's sea of consciousness, suppressing the transmission of spiritual energy in his dantian. I don't know how much spiritual energy is needed to prevent my master's sea of consciousness from continuing to degenerate." Seeing that Chaos Pearl was about to get angry again, Kong Ming quickly explained what he knew.
After He Jingjing fed Wen Ziqing the "Awakening Pill," Kong Ming noticed several thin threads appearing in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness. These threads were initially transparent, but then some turned pink, and others gray. The pink and gray threads intertwined like a small lattice mesh, shrouding the large lake within Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness.
Although Kong Ming didn't know what those gray and pink lines were, his intuition told him that Wen Ziqing's abnormality was probably related to these lines that suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness. What made Kong Ming even more anxious was that as time passed, the large lake in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness was slowly shrinking.
