Chapter 56: Tudou
“Lele?”
Shi Lele repeated what she had just said again.
Sheng Rong thought about it and glanced at Xu Li and the others, comforting, “It should be fine, perhaps it’s a good thing for An’an!”
In the following time, Xu Li and the others kept guard here, not letting anyone come over.
Shi Anxin and the other three returned to their respective teams, coming over to check when they had time.
Lin Xi and He Rui also learned about this and came over from time to time to ask Xu Li about the situation.
However, Shi An’an showed no movement at all. In the middle, Xu Li went in once and found Shi An’an still standing there motionless, while the little guy was lying at her feet sleeping.
When Xu Li entered, it immediately became alert and watched him vigilantly.
However, although Shi An’an showed no movement, the protective shield was filled with energy (spiritual energy). As soon as Xu Li entered, he felt refreshed all over. If it weren’t for the little guy constantly driving him away, he would have wanted to stay inside and not leave.
Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Shi An’an opened her eyes, looking at the planet in the distance outside the starship, still a bit dazed, not knowing where she was at the moment.
“Awoo… meow~”
Xiu noticed Shi An’an waking up right away. He originally wanted to howl, but the awoo at the tip of his tongue turned into a meow.
Xiu was Tudou. During this half month by Shi An’an’s side, thanks to the spiritual energy overflowing from her body, he accidentally healed his mental power.
He now fully remembered that before, after his mental power collapsed and he beat unconscious everyone following him, he had escaped.
Due to his body and mental power, his body instinctively reverted to its ancestral form, degenerating into a newborn cub.
Although he had degenerated into a cub, he was instinctively attracted to the energy on Shi An’an’s body and had been following her.
As for why he wasn’t detected as an Empire person when he was caught for examination.
It was probably because of his bloodline. At five years old, he had awakened his second form, the Atlas lion with 80% bloodline purity.
He had the highest bloodline purity in the Imperial Royalty, and after so many years, his bloodline purity had now reached 95%, his combat power also at its peak, unmatched in the Empire.
However, as his second form grew stronger, his mental power became more unstable.
Whenever he couldn’t control it, irritability and mania filled him, making him unable to resist destroying everything.
And this collapse actually made him revert to ancestry directly. Now he felt his mental power had recovered a lot, but his body showed no signs of recovery.
Currently, he could only continue staying by Shi An’an’s side in cub form.
“Tudou.” Shi An’an looked down and saw Tudou, then came back to her senses.
“…” Hearing this name, Xiu felt a sense of powerlessness. It was too awful! He absolutely could not let any Empire person know that the famous God of War had a name like Tudou!
Little did he know, ever since he went missing, the Imperial Royalty was going crazy.
If it weren’t for the parliament strongly stopping him, the Empire King would have led troops into the Federation to search for him.
Now the situation between the Federation and the Empire was delicate. No one wanted to break the current balance first. It wasn’t fear of each other, but after the Insectoid Race was finally exterminated, humanity had just caught a breath, and they still had to continue attacking the star beasts…
In short, the current situation was not easy to describe, but also easy to break.
Shi An’an picked up the little guy. “Eh? You’ve gotten heavier?”
Being held like this by a female for the first time, Xiu stiffened his body, not daring to move.
“Ah, you’ve actually promoted!” At this time, Shi An’an happily discovered that her body was filled with spiritual power, and her cultivation level had actually promoted to the mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.
Shi An’an was a bit puzzled why she had promoted. Wasn’t she just chatting with Lele?
“Lele?” Shi An’an turned her head and found the surroundings protected by the protective shield. She looked down at her optical computer and discovered that half a month had already passed, and they were about to arrive at Capital Star!
“Tudou, did I… have enlightenment?”
Shi An’an couldn’t believe it. In the Cultivation World, she had envied those geniuses who could easily have enlightenment and improve their cultivation level.
She never expected that in Interstellar, she could also have enlightenment. Recalling it, this feeling was really super great!
“An’an?”
Xu Li entered the protective shield again to check Shi An’an’s state and found her holding Tudou and smiling. His heart rejoiced, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Xu.” Shi An’an turned back and smiled, greeting Xu Li.
“You scared us. You’ve been standing here without eating or drinking for half a month. How are you? Hungry?”
Thinking that Shi An’an hadn’t eaten or drunk for half a month, Xu Li immediately took out the nutrient solution he had prepared long ago and handed it to Shi An’an.
Shi An’an took it. “Thank you, Brother Xu, for guarding me all this time.”
Xu Li shook his head. “This is what we should do.”
“An’an!” Shi Lele had just arrived here and saw Shi An’an talking with Xu Li and the others, extremely happy.
“Lele.” Shi An’an turned her head and saw Shi Lele running toward her, so she also got up and walked over.
“An’an, you finally woke up! You scared me to death…” This half month, Shi Lele had been worried day and night.
Shi An’an smiled and comforted Shi Lele. “I should thank you. If it weren’t for what you said, making me have a new view on green plants, I wouldn’t have had enlightenment, and my cultivation level couldn’t have improved…”
Shi Lele heard that it was because of what she said that An’an had enlightenment, and she immediately felt proud inside.
“Then you have to listen to me more in the future.”
“Okay!”
“Awoo!!!” Xiu saw Shi An’an being held by someone else, looking displeased, and howled at Shi Lele.
“Tudou, half a month without seeing you, did you miss me?”
Sure enough, Shi Lele’s attention was diverted. She let go of An’an and went to hug little Tudou.
Xiu nimbly dodged and disdainfully glanced at Shi Lele. He wasn’t someone anyone could touch!
“Tudou, why did you run? Come let me pet you…” Shi Lele chased after Tudou.
“Awoo!” Xiu irritably roared at Shi Lele.
“An’an, what’s wrong with Tudou? Why won’t it let me touch it…” Shi Lele still couldn’t touch Tudou and felt a bit discouraged.
Shi An’an looked at the also angry little Tudou. “Maybe it’s grown up and has its own ideas…”
Shi Lele looked at Tudou. “Indeed, it seems a bit bigger in size than before.”
“Right, I’ll tell Xin Xin that you woke up. Xin Xin was also worried about you…” Shi Lele patted her forehead and said.
“An’an, we’ll arrive at Capital Star tomorrow. Then we’ll leave directly.” Xu Li walked over and said to Shi An’an.
They were going directly back to the Ninth Legion. This journey was to escort Shi An’an to Capital Star.
“Okay, during this time, thanks to your help.” Shi An’an solemnly thanked Xu Li and the others.
Thanks to the little cutie who corrected me, hehe, already adopted, thank you very much!
