Chapter 020
The little man put the writing board on the coffee table, carried the marker, and walked up to it with a groan.
Cheng Hui looked at the marker that was taller than the little man, and then looked at the little man again.
Emmm...okay.
He first asked, "Why don't you tell me your name first?"
When the villain heard this, he puffed up his cheeks in displeasure.
Cheng Hui: ??? No, can’t I even ask my name?
Seeing that he had no intention of changing the question, the villain pursed his lips and wrote the two words "Xiao Tong" on the writing board with a marker in a wronged manner.
Cheng Hui: ...
Isn't that a nice name? Why would he be upset? I don't understand.
"Then Xiaotong, what is your relationship with this space?"
Xiaotong blinked his eyes, as if he didn't understand.
Cheng Hui decided to try a different approach: "Do you know how to control this space? What special effects does this space have? For example, can it adjust the flow of time, or is there a spiritual spring or something like that?"
Xiao Tong held his chin, thought for a while, and shook his head.
Shake head?
Cheng Hui's heart suddenly sank. It's over. This space doesn't even have the standard features. Could it be that this is just the simplest storage space?
"Then do you know what's special about this place?" He still didn't give up.
Xiao Tong nodded very vigorously this time. Cheng Hui was very happy and said, "Can you take me to see it?"
Xiao Tong threw the marker away, and the writing board and marker disappeared into the air. Then he ran to Cheng Hui, grabbed his sleeve and climbed up with all his might.
Cheng Hui was so amused that he quickly grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him up, and put him on his shoulder.
Xiao Tongyi was a little confused at first, but when he came to his senses and saw his position, he immediately smiled widely, and then... continued to pull Cheng Hui's hair online.
Cheng Hui: ...well, quite ambitious.
He didn't care that the little man climbed over his head, so he simply dragged him up by his feet.
After Xiao Tong stood on it, he let out a cheerful cheer and ran back and forth above his head several times, as if he had conquered some extraordinary peak.
"Are you really that happy?" Cheng Hui couldn't help but laugh in his heart, feeling that this little Tong was just like a child.
Xiao Tong had a lot of fun and finally got satisfied. He stood on top of him, holding a strand of hair on each side with both hands, to lead the way for him.
To turn left, pull the left one; to turn right, pull the right one; to go straight, pull with both hands. Xiao Tong successfully treated Cheng Hui as his mount and brought him to the vicinity of the snow-capped mountains.
Following Xiaotong's guidance, Cheng Hui quickly found a cave. After passing through the cave, he came to a valley. As soon as he entered the valley, Cheng Hui was shocked by the situation in the valley.
There is a tree in the center of the valley. Anyone who sees it will be attracted by it.
It was a magical tree, from its trunk to its branches and leaves, all of it emitted a faint glow.
The streams of light in the sky were spinning rapidly around the tree. Whenever a stream of light fell on the tree, it would combine with a leaf to form a short-lived black hole.
There were countless black holes all over the tree. Cheng Hui looked at those black holes unconsciously and was attracted to them unknowingly.
He seemed to have seen through those black holes and seen wonderful worlds. Those worlds seemed to have developed in their own way, and each had its own unique features. Just when he wanted to explore the universe further, he suddenly felt a huge crisis, as if he was about to face the crisis of death.
Cheng Hui: ???
Before he could even react, he felt a huge force hitting his forehead.
In an instant, it was as if thousands of hammers were hitting his head hard. He screamed and fainted on the ground.
"ah!"
Xiao Tong screamed and fell down as well. It took him a long time to climb out of his hair.
He looked around in confusion, then looked at Cheng Hui lying on the ground. He was stunned for a moment, then screamed and crawled to Cheng Hui's face. He slapped him hard on the face, but found no response, and immediately became worried.
He lifted one of Cheng Hui's eyelids with force, but as soon as he loosened his grip, the eyelid fell back down.
Xiaotong: ...
He pursed his lips, a look of pain on his face, then reached out into the air and pulled out a white porcelain bottle.
He opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, took a deep sip, and looked very happy. But he soon came to his senses, poured out the pills with great effort, and then stuffed the pills into Cheng Hui's mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a stream of clear water that quickly merged into Cheng Hui's body.
After a while, Cheng Hui woke up slowly and looked at the clear sky above. For a moment, he had the illusion that he didn't know what day it was.
Fortunately, he quickly recovered, stood up, and looked at Xiao Tong with a puzzled expression: "Is this what you call special? What's so special about it? Did it almost cost me my life?"
Xiao Tong looked away guiltily, then pointed at the bottle confidently, saying he'd tried to make amends. "Who knew you were so foolish? Observing from afar would be fine, but you actually wanted to use your spiritual sense to explore the universe beyond the black hole? You're lucky the black hole didn't kill you when it annihilated you!"
Cheng Hui was obviously unaware of Xiao Tong's inner complaints. He glanced at the big tree with lingering fear, then immediately looked away.
He didn't dare to get close to it until he figured out what it was.
"Ah!" Xiao Tong puffed up his cheeks unhappily, very dissatisfied with Cheng Hui's performance.
He pulled Cheng Hui's finger, indicating that he should follow him.
Cheng Hui hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
He knew nothing about this space, and the only person who could help him was Xiaotong. Since the other party wanted to guide him, he was willing to take the risk and give it a try.
Otherwise, without Xiaotong, he might be in even greater danger if he wandered around on his own.
Xiao Tong did not trick him and took him directly to the tree. Whenever Cheng Hui wanted to look up at the black holes, Xiao Tong would shout in time to remind him not to look.
Cheng Hui was attracted to the tree unconsciously several times in a row, and became more alert to it.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with this tree, but the things he’s involved with might be too high-level. With his current strength, it’s not a good thing to touch it easily.
"Ah!" Xiao Tong took him to the roots of the tree, and he noticed that there were several fruits growing there.
These fruits have different colors and shapes, but they give people a very mysterious feeling and exude a vast and ethereal atmosphere.
"You want me to come and see this?" Cheng Hui did not reach out to pick it up. The lesson he had learned before made him clearly realize that things in the world of cultivation are not so easy to get. If you are not strong enough, you may not be able to enjoy the good things alive.
"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Tong pointed at the fruit closest to him and gestured to Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui looked at it for a long time and could barely guess what was going on. Xiao Tong seemed to want him to pick the fruit and eat it, and then go somewhere and bring him something back.
Cheng Hui: ???
Cheng Hui refused to do this.
Are you kidding? He won’t eat it if he doesn’t even know what it is!
Even if Xiaotong had no bad intentions, he had no intention of eating it.
What if? What if Xiaotong misjudged his strength? Good intentions often lead to bad consequences. Anyway, he definitely wouldn't eat this tree until he figured out what it was!
Xiao Tong pursed his lips, probably because he saw Cheng Hui's firm attitude, so he could only puff out his cheeks and sulk.
Cheng Hui rubbed his little head with his fingers and comforted him: "Don't worry, when I become stronger, I will help you find the things."
"Yeah!" Xiao Tong nodded and raised his hand to high-five Cheng Hui to make an agreement.
Cheng Hui had no choice but to stretch out his fingers and give him a high five, and then he saw Xiao Tong running to the roots of the tree, rummaging through a pile of fallen leaves, and it took him a while to find a relatively complete leaf.
He ran back with the leaf in his hand and put it in Cheng Hui's hand.
"For me?" Cheng Hui was a little flattered. He had just rejected Xiao Tong's proposal, and now he was giving him a gift.
Xiao Tong nodded and gestured for him to put the leaf on his forehead.
Cheng Hui did as he was told, and the leaves quickly turned into a stream of silver light and merged into his body.
He just felt his mind was clear, and a little starlight seemed to bloom somewhere.
He instinctively used his spiritual sense to touch the starlight, and then felt his throat was extremely itchy. He coughed twice reflexively, and ended up spewing out a small stream of flame, which hit Xiaotong's face.
Xiaotong: ...
Repaying kindness with hatred! Σ( ° △°|||)︴
"Hello... cough cough, sorry... cough cough..." Cheng Hui couldn't help coughing continuously. Every time he coughed, a small flame would come out. It took a while to calm down.
Xiao Tong stared at Cheng Hui blankly with his mouth wide open. He conjured up a mirror and looked at the little man with a dark face and burnt hair in it. His eyes filled with tears and he burst into tears again.
Cheng Hui: ...
I just... feel quite guilty.
He quickly comforted him with kind words, and after a long time, he finally managed to stop Xiao Tong from crying.
Xiao Tong sobbed and wiped away his tears. He stretched out his hand and created a screen, shielding himself behind it.
Then Cheng Hui saw a few pieces of clothes hanging on the screen, which were the shirt and shorts that Xiaotong had worn before. Then the sound of water came from behind the screen again.
Cheng Hui: ...the preparations are quite complete.
After Xiao Tong had tidied himself up and changed into a clean suit, he finally came out from behind the screen. However, it seemed that his charred hair could not be changed. His originally cool hairstyle turned into a head of small curly hair.
Cheng Hui: ...Hold it in! Don't laugh! I'm a professional!
Xiao Tong glared at him angrily. Cheng Hui suddenly realized that Xiao Tong, who had been a little chubby, had returned to normal. He had actually digested all of the magic fish gold?
"Ah!" Xiao Tong was about to say something, but suddenly frowned, pointed outside angrily, and pushed Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically and he immediately left this space.
