Chapter 112: Mandala Flower
“Next, are you leaving?” Shi An’an asked, feeling a bit reluctant in her heart. Sigh, her little cub, gone…
Xiu looked at Shi An’an and saw the reluctance on her face, feeling inexplicably happy in his heart.
“Not yet for now. My optical computer, mecha… everything is lost. I need to find them and contact my people before I can leave.” Xiu looked at Shi An’an. “So…, I still need to trouble you for a few days. Is that okay?”
“Sure, no problem. Tomorrow I’ll go find your things with you. Don’t worry, I’m fast at finding things!” Shi An’an assured Xiu.
“Good, thank you.” Xiu smiled lightly.
“Then…, can you change back to Tudou?”
“Okay.”
The next second, Xiu turned back into that milky cute little Tudou.
Shi An’an saw it and couldn’t help but pick it up. However, when she picked it up, she remembered that her Tudou was a person!
“Um… sorry, habit, haha…” Shi An’an put Xiu down again.
“I’ll go out first. Do you want to come out?”
“Okay.”
“Oh, right, I was just making essential oil, so everyone fell asleep. You…” Shi An’an thought for a moment and handed him a bottle of mint essential oil. “Later, if you can’t help it, just use one drop of this, and it’ll be fine.”
Xiu took the essential oil. “Thank you.”
Shi An’an and Xiu left the room together. Xiu looked at everyone sleeping soundly and smelled the fragrance permeating the air. Indeed, there was an urge to sleep, but his current mental power could fully resist it.
Xiu told Shi An’an and went to search nearby before leaving.
Shi An’an watched Xiu’s departing back and gradually calmed down.
She hadn’t asked about Xiu’s identity just now, out of consideration for how he had risked his life back then to block the lightning tribulation for her.
He had blocked the lightning tribulation for her, and she had healed his body for him. They could be said to owe each other nothing.
She also didn’t want to know his identity. After all…, once he left, there would be no interaction between them anymore.
Given the Federation people’s hostile and vigilant attitude toward the Empire, they probably wouldn’t come to the Federation in the future, and she wouldn’t go to the Empire either, so knowing his identity or not didn’t matter to her.
As long as he posed no danger to her or her family, she wouldn’t make a move against him.
Shi An’an withdrew her gaze, composed her mood, and looked at the surrounding destroyed green plants and vegetables.
She took out seeds and restored the place to its original state.
Shi An’an looked around and also checked the seed vault brought by her eldest cousin. In the category that could be used for medical purposes, she saw several green plants that could cause illusions.
There weren’t many of these seeds, so Shi An’an took two seeds of one kind and catalyzed them to maturity on the spot. After taking the seeds, she continued catalyzing…
She stopped only after obtaining a lot of seeds.
She rose into the air, and Shi An’an scattered circles of seeds around the residence and the outskirts of the forest.
Then she began to catalyze the seeds; these all had the effect of making people fall into illusions.
Shi An’an crushed spirit stones and scattered them.
These green plants grew even more lush. Shi An’an infused more spiritual power into them. She wondered if there might be green plants like Xiao Ju that could develop spiritual intelligence on their own…
“Got it!” Shi An’an found a mandala flower growing exceptionally brilliantly, and the surrounding flowers lowered their heads in its presence.
Shi An’an landed and came before this mandala.
Sensing Shi An’an’s arrival, this mandala happily shook its flowers.
Shi An’an used her wood spiritual root to infuse it with some more spiritual power.
The mandala flower, having absorbed the spiritual power, became even more enchanting, and its fragrance grew stronger. Shi An’an felt a momentary daze.
“Stop!” Shi An’an came back to her senses and quickly wrapped herself in spiritual power.
The mandala flower tilted, not understanding what she meant.
Shi An’an squatted down and gently stroked the mandala’s flowers. The mandala’s flowers also nestled in Shi An’an’s palm.
“You need to restrain your fragrance a bit. Your fragrance has an illusion effect. There are other people living here; you need to protect them. If strangers approach…”
Shi An’an gently and slowly explained to the mandala flower until it understood.
Sure enough, after understanding, the mandala flower restrained its fragrance and also commanded the other ordinary flowers to restrain theirs.
Shi An’an satisfiedly touched the mandala flower and took out a spirit stone from her space button, handing it to it.
The mandala flower sensed the rich spiritual energy in the spirit stone and happily hugged it with its leaves, burying the spirit stone in its soil.
Shi An’an thoughtfully placed the spirit stone properly for it and covered it, then looked at the U Yu Jade and illusion mushrooms behind. These two hadn’t produced conscious spiritual plants.
But having one green plant with spiritual intelligence was already very good. After instructing the mandala flower a bit more, Shi An’an left.
Actually, these plants inherently had the effect of causing illusions, even coma or poisoning, but they couldn’t release that effect on their own.
The reason she planted them here was that if someone or star beasts really attacked, she could catalyze these plants and let their illusion effects fully play out…
Of course, she hoped she would never need to use them.
Shi An’an guarded everyone at the residence. She sent everyone back to their rooms. Second Brother had also finished installing the monitoring system and went back to his room to rest.
With some rare free time, Shi An’an scanned with her spiritual sense toward the distance and saw Xiu. Xiu was still searching nearby for his optical computer.
Shi An’an withdrew her spiritual sense, checked the time, opened her optical computer, and contacted Lin Xi.
“Brother Lin, long time no see. How have you and Eldest Brother been lately? How’s the situation there? When can you come back?”
After sending the message, Shi An’an closed her eyes to rest and waited patiently.
Edge Star
Lin Xi had just been replaced by his friend on the battlefield and hadn’t left yet when he received the little girl’s message.
When he saw the message, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying to his friend, “It seems your little girl has something to ask me.”
“Who?” Shi Anfeng calmly arranged the troops, preparing to deliver the final blow to these star beasts.
“An’an, of course. With my silly younger brother there, how could she contact me!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Don’t know, I’ll ask.” Lin Xi replied to Shi An’an, asking her to say directly if there was anything.
Upon receiving Lin Xi’s reply, Shi An’an didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated her matter.
She wanted to buy the waste ore developed by the Lin Family. If it was spirit stones, she wanted to buy them!
Upon seeing what Shi An’an wanted, Lin Xi immediately agreed and directly had someone contact Shi An’an.
Seeing that Brother Lin agreed, Shi An’an was very happy and kindly asked, “Brother Lin, do you have enough green plants? Have you used up the essential oil? Do you need me to send more?”
