Cai Niu's smile froze, and she subconsciously shrank her head back into the turtle shell.
"Draw...draw what kind of blood?"
Rong Zi smiled at it, then asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"
...
A moment later.
Cai Niu was being held by one of Rong Zi's front paws, her eyes closed, her neck tilted back, and she was screaming in agony.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Rong Zi swiftly and cleanly made a small cut on its claw, then squeezed out a drop of blood.
Even after all the blood had been squeezed out, Cai Niu was still howling.
Rong Zi rolled her eyes and slapped it on the head.
"What's all the fuss about? I only took a drop of blood. Anyone who didn't know better would probably think I was going to kill you and make turtle soup!"
Cai Niu whimpered pitifully, "Even a drop of blood is blood, and it hurts."
Rong Zi: "How much does it hurt? Believe me, if you howl a couple more times, this wound will heal."
Cai Niu glanced at the small wound on her paw that had stopped bleeding and was somewhat speechless.
It seems... it has healed.
Seeing that it had become obedient, Rong Zi led it to the stone gate.
She looked at the stone gate in front of her and sensed that it was protected by a restriction.
Moreover, the restriction on the stone gate, and the spiritual energy contained within it, seemed to give Rong Zi a vaguely familiar feeling.
Cai Niu stared intently at the two stone sculptures beside the stone gate, then suddenly called out to Rong Zi.
"Master, these two stone sculptures..."
Rong Zi snapped out of her daze, looked down at it, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cai Niu paused for a moment, then continued, "The carving is so impressive!"
"After we return to our sect this time, could you carve one for me in front of our sect as well?" It looked at Rong Zi expectantly.
Rong Zi nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll carve one for you myself when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Cai Niu's expression immediately changed. "Then forget it."
Let the owner carve it.
It was worried that the stone sculpture would turn into a sand sculpture...
Rong Zi narrowed her eyes, twisting its paw, which had a drop of blood on it, and questioned, "What? You don't like my cooking?"
Cai Niu gave an awkward laugh and forced a reply: "How could that be? I just felt... that carving stone sculptures is too tiring, and I didn't want you, Master, to get tired."
Rong Zi patted its little head and said with satisfaction, "It's quite understanding."
After saying that, she changed the subject.
"Don't worry, with you being so considerate of me, I'll take care of your stone carving. When we get back, I promise I'll carve it to be imposing and majestic."
Cai Niu: "..."
Before it could say anything more, Rong Zi had already placed its little paw directly on the stone door in front of it.
"It's settled then."
The drop of blood on Cai Niu's claw was quickly absorbed the moment it touched the stone door.
Immediately afterwards, a faint fluorescent light suddenly appeared on the surface of the stone gate.
With a loud 'boom,' the stone gate slowly began to open to both sides.
