Chapter 20 The 20th Mom
After seeing the dentist, Baichuanmu took Xiaoxia Youjie shopping. There were many things to buy, such as paintbrushes, school bags and other school supplies.
She also planned to buy a small shoulder bag for Xiao Xia Youjie to carry the curse jade. Xiao Xia Youjie could only hold one curse jade in one hand, and he could put a few in the big pocket on the front of his clothes, but it was far from enough.
Because there are many more cursed spirits in this world than she imagined!
For example, right now, they were walking out of the dentist's office when Xiao Xia Youjie stopped and pointed at a trash can and said, "There's a cursed spirit over there!"
This cursed spirit was not very strong. Xiao Xia Youjie just waved his hand from a distance and pinched it into a cursed spirit jade.
"Hmm... it's so weak, much weaker than the spider curse spirit," Xiao Xia Youjie couldn't help but say as he looked at the curse spirit jade in his hand, "but it's obviously not small, as big as a cat or a dog."
Bai Chuanmu thought for a while and said, "It may be that Xiaojie has become stronger. Generally, larger creatures are stronger, but it's not necessarily the case... but the closer they are to humans... Xiaojie, you have to remember that if you encounter a cursed spirit that can communicate with you, you must be careful. It's best to run away as soon as possible. You can't deal with them now."
"Communicate?" Xiao Xia Youjie tilted his head, puzzled, "But most cursed spirits can talk? Little Fish, Little Eyes, Cats and Dogs are all like this. Some of the words they say make me feel uncomfortable and weird. But after I tamed them, they talk less. But cats and dogs like to meow and woof."
"It's 'communication', not 'speaking'. Most of them are just muttering some words, and those words are usually the reasons for their occurrence, that is, negative emotions. After they are tamed by you and under your control, they can be regarded as... breaking away from the past?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Xia Youjie nodded thoughtfully, looked at the Curse Jade in his hand, and put it in his pocket. Now there were only two Curse Jades in his pocket.
Bai Chuanmu was still worried, and reminded him again: "Xiao Jie, remember, you must be careful of the curse spirits that can communicate with you and have a certain degree of wisdom."
"I will," Xiao Xia Youjie said seriously. He paused and hesitated for a moment, "But... that kind of cursed spirit is more powerful... If I can tame it, I can also become stronger quickly, right?"
Baichuanmu smiled and rubbed Xiaoxia Youjie's head: "Take your time, don't be too anxious, you can't become a fat man in one bite, you have to accumulate little by little."
Xiao Xia Youjie blinked his eyes: "Little by little, it adds up to a lot..."
After they walked a few steps, Xiao Xia Youjie saw another cursed spirit lying on the tree, and he waved his hand and pinched it into a cursed spirit jade. There were also a few cursed spirits on the heads of the students passing by, and Xiao Xia Youjie pinched them into a few cursed spirit jades as well.
When passing by a small alley, Xiao Xia Youjie discovered that there were two cursed spirits in it again. This time he needed to fight. Xiao Xia Youjie waved his little fists, and in Baichuanmu's perspective, he tried hard to fight wits and courage with the air. He obtained two more cursed spirit jades.
"Mom, my pockets are full." Little Xia Youjie came back holding two curse jades.
"Let me help you, Xiaojie," Bai Chuanmu half-knelt down, "Although mom can't see the Curse Jade, you should be able to put it in my pocket, right?"
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded, grabbed the Curse Jade and put it in Baichuanmu's pocket: "Okay... eh!?"
The moment Xiao Xia Youjie let go, Bai Chuanmu felt a chilly breath, and half of his body became heavy.
Xiao Xia Youjie widened his eyes and quickly reached forward with his little hand. Bai Chuanmu vaguely heard a light "click" sound and the strange feeling disappeared.
The slight sound was very clear to Xiao Xia Youjie.
He put the curse jade into his mother's pocket. As soon as Xiao Xia Youjie let go, the curse jade quickly changed back to its original shape. This scared him. A blue-black flame ignited on his hand. He grabbed it hard and crushed the curse jade to pieces.
Its body turned into black and gray smoke, slowly dissipated with the wind and disappeared completely.
"Hmm?" Baichuan Mu said doubtfully. The uncomfortable feeling just now and Xiaoxia Youjie's reaction made her quickly guess what was going on. "It seems... I can't help Xiaojie install the Curse Jade?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips. He was still thinking about what happened just now. "Do I have to keep touching it? But the Curse Spirit Jade I put in the Poké Ball yesterday is fine..."
"Maybe there is a distance limit?" Baichuanmu guessed. She was not sure. In the comics, Geto Suguru would always eat the cursed spirits immediately after he formed them into cursed spirit jades. He would not save them for too long.
"Well, that should be it? And it was not turned into the Cursed Spirit Jade again by me. I seem to have accidentally... killed it... just now..." Xiao Xia Youjie lowered his eyes.
"It's not killing, it's exorcising," Baichuanmu pinched Xiaoxia Youjie's face, "When a sorcerer encounters a cursed spirit, they usually exorcise it. Xiaojie is different. You can tame the cursed spirit. This is a very rare and powerful talent."
Xiao Xia Youjie raised his head, blinked his eyes, and said excitedly: "Wow - so... I'm awesome? Can I become super awesome?"
Baichuanmu smiled and said, "Of course! Our Xiaojie is the best!"
"Hmm~" Xiao Xia Youjie looked very happy. He glanced at the Curse Jade in his hand, then looked at his bulging pockets. "Then I... Mom, if my pockets can't hold any more, can I eat a few Curse Jade now? Actually, there's no need to prepare delicious food and then let me eat the Curse Jade. I'm very strong. I can keep a good mood even if I eat unpalatable food."
"No! This is very necessary!" Baichuanmu held Xiaoxia Youjie's shoulders, looked at him with sharp eyes, paused, and when she spoke again, her voice sounded a little aggrieved, "Because mom is an ordinary person, and I also want to help Xiaojie, but I don't have the ability to make the Curse Jade delicious. At least... at least let me feed Xiaojie some delicious food after he eats the Curse Jade? That way mom will feel very accomplished, just like fighting side by side with Xiaojie."
Xiao Xia Youjie immediately said: "Yes! I understand, actually...actually, mom has always been fighting alongside me, and mom is also super powerful."
Baichuanmu chuckled and rubbed Xiaoxia Youjie's head. This child was too gentle. Only by saying this could she make Xiaojie remember this "necessary process" deeply.
"Hmm... I lost a Curse Spirit Jade. Now it's okay. I can get it."
His pockets were full, and Xiao Xia Youjie's two hands were occupied by the Cursed Jade. In that case, he couldn't hold his mother's hand.
However, just as they walked out of the alley, Xiao Xia Youjie turned around and saw another cursed spirit on the shoulder of a passerby.
He could only let go of his mother's hand and reach out to pinch the cursed spirit into a cursed spirit jade. Looking at the cursed spirit jade in his hand, he narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.
Xiao Xia Youjie: =~= I can’t hold my mother’s hand anymore…
Bai Chuanmu was shocked when he saw Xiao Xia Youjie's squinting eyes!
Baby! My baby has big watery eyes! Is Xiaojie starting to evolve into squinty eyes now? ! (Wrong
