The little white dumpling was talking about talent and such, but Sheng Ning didn't listen carefully.
Because right now she's desperately tugging at the little one in her arms.
She had only raised her hand towards the little creature, and it had rushed straight into her arms.
Not only that, it kept burrowing into its own arms.
Sheng Ning hugged it with both hands and pulled its body out.
The little thing got anxious, making "cheep cheep cheep" noises and struggling to wriggle its limbs, trying to hide in her arms.
Although, but.
That's so easy to misunderstand!
Seeing that she couldn't pull the little one away, Sheng Ning looked up helplessly and saw that her senior brothers were all staring at her and the little one in her arms.
Her eye twitched, and she said, "I don't recognize it."
Xie Wenxuan cursed under his breath, "So, Fellow Daoist Sheng, it's because of a different constitution."
"Throughout this journey, it has been Fellow Daoist Sheng who has led us forward and overcome countless difficulties."
When Sheng Ning heard Xie Wenxuan say that his constitution was different, he stopped breathing.
They were afraid of hearing anything about the owner of the stone coffin from him.
Fortunately, the other party only mentioned that she led them forward.
With a slight twitch of her lips, Sheng Ning chuckled, "Perhaps it really is because my constitution is different."
"But there's not much difference. This little thing is probably just missing its mother?"
Watching the little creature snuggle into her arms, Sheng Ning turned her head and whispered to the little white ball, "Is there any way to stop it from moving?"
"Yes," the little white ball of fur nestled on her shoulder, "you just need to absorb it."
"You're right, it really does miss its 'mother.' You've been looking for a totem, haven't you? Here it is. As long as you absorb it and let it return to your spiritual root, everything will be perfect."
Sheng Ning: ......
ha?
No one in the world has ever seen what a totem actually looks like.
All they knew was that the totem was created by the creator god who, in order to save all living beings, sacrificed his entire life, and his soul shattered into several pieces, which became the totem.
Those who possess the totem can become the new savior.
Before seeing the so-called totem, Sheng Ning had also imagined what the totem would look like.
Perhaps it's a leaf, or perhaps it's a parchment scroll.
I never imagined that this totem would actually be a living creature that could run and fly.
Moreover, the creature tried to burrow into her arms, presumably wanting to return to her body.
Feeling a mix of emotions, she looked up at the crowd before her.
Apart from the Invincible Sect, which was instructed by their master to come and find the totem, the remaining Dingtian Sect and Taixu Sect were also ordered by their sect leaders to come and find the totem.
If she tells them that the totem she's holding is the one they're looking for, the little one in her arms might be taken away.
But if she doesn't tell anyone, and secretly absorbs the totem into her body, the Dingtian Sect might be okay, but the Taixu Sect will probably cause trouble again...
The conflicted look in Sheng Ning's eyes was too obvious.
Even Xie Wenxuan could see her inner conflict.
Su Daiyuan stepped forward and asked telepathically, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
Sheng Ning told him that the little thing in her arms was the totem, "Senior Brother, how about we make another fake totem?"
After all, no one has ever seen what a real totem looks like.
Su Daiyuan was astonished that the totem was actually a living creature.
After hearing his junior sister's words, he suppressed his surprise and finally nodded, "Let's do it that way."
Totems cannot be created arbitrarily.
Even though no one had ever seen the totem, those present were all direct disciples of major sects and would not be easily fooled.
After much deliberation, Sheng Ning finally managed to retrieve a chemical formula blueprint from his armory.
She applied her spiritual power to the blueprint, then tossed it into a pile of withered branches and leaves. Only after confirming that no one had seen it did she feel a little relieved.
"Master Kongwu just calculated that the totem is here. Everyone, why don't you spread out and search for it first?"
The cave is large, but not empty.
Perhaps because towering trees grow above the cave, their roots are intertwined and spread throughout the cave, making it easy to bump into them if one is not careful.
When Sheng Ning said that Master Kongwu had calculated that there was a totem in the cave, everyone immediately became extremely alert, their faces solemn, determined to be the first to find the totem.
"I'll go look in the northwest corner."
"Then I will go south."
"Could they be in that pile of dead wood? I'll go take a look."
"The totem! This time I must find the totem, so that the Dingtian Sect can flourish and crush the Taixu Sect underfoot!"
......
As she watched the people in front of her walk one by one into different parts of the cave, Sheng Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief while holding the little one in her arms.
Kong Wu and Qin Chuan stood still.
She first gave the former an apologetic smile, and when she turned her head, her gaze fell on Qin Chuan's eyes.
The latter only glanced at her before turning to look at the little thing in her arms.
Sheng Ning pursed her lips and was about to take a step back when she heard Qin Chuan's voice in her ear.
"I won't steal it. Some things are meant to be yours."
After saying that, before Sheng Ning could be surprised, he turned around and walked towards the northeast corner.
Even though there was nothing there, he still earnestly searched for the so-called 'totem' in order to fit the performance.
"Does Benefactor Sheng require the care of this humble monk?"
Sheng Ning had just used the void as a pretext, and the other party not only didn't mind, but also said they would take care of her and let her absorb the little thing in her arms.
Looking down at the little thing that had already burrowed its head into her body, Sheng Ning chuckled, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Kongwu."
Sheng Ning did not choose to absorb the totem in this cave.
Instead, they ran into the cave they had just arrived at.
With no one around, she settled down and sat cross-legged.
After she closed her eyes, Kongwu, who was standing beside her and holding the relic, slowly opened his eyes, his red pupils staring straight at her back.
Inside another cave.
Yu Ye and his group practically turned the entire cave upside down, but they still couldn't find the so-called totem.
Holding a dead tree, Yu also infused it with spiritual power. With a flick of his wrist, he easily overturned the pile of dead trees in front of him.
"Is the totem really here? That old bald monk isn't lying to us, is he?"
"After all, junior sister is naive and young, making her the easiest to be deceived."
Fang Chong and Guan Yunchuan searched for the totem not far from him.
Hearing his muttering, the two of them simultaneously looked up at him.
When the two turned back to look at each other, their expressions were filled with unspoken emotions.
Anyone who has ever been in contact with Sheng Ning should know that Sheng Ning's intelligence is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Only Yu Ye thought that his junior sister was naturally kind and easily deceived.
Guan Yunchuan raised his hand to gently touch his forehead and nodded to Fang Chong, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fellow Daoist Fang."
Fang Chong chuckled and said, "My junior brother Xie has also made quite a few jokes, thanks to everyone's understanding."
After they finished speaking, they both fell silent.
After a long while, soft sighs echoed from the two inside the vast cave.
