Chapter 2568: Why Would They Need You to Find a Pet?

“Planet Omega’s artificial intelligence system can accurately locate every single ant on the planet. Why would they need you to find a pet?”
Ning Shu laughed. “I’m just kidding. Why are you so serious today?”
“Don’t take on any more dangerous missions in the future,” Alviss said. “A lot of those who go never return.”
Ning Shu nodded. “I know. I still need to become a mecha pilot.”
She couldn’t bear to die just yet.
“Didn’t you say you were a summoner?” Little Grass, who was still in her pocket, said contemptuously.
Alviss looked around and asked Ning Shu. “Did you hear anything just now?”
Ning Shu shook her head calmly and picked her ears. “Hear what? I’m going to rest.”
Alviss had a puzzled expression on his face for a bit. However, he didn’t stay hung up on this topic.
Ning Shu returned to her room and locked her door, then took Little Grass out of her bag.
It turned into a human form, still in the shape of a little loli. It was barefooted, but it had bell anklets around its ankles.
Little Grass raised her chin and looked at Ning Shu, then snorted.
Ning Shu touched her head. “Why haven’t you grown up at all?”
Little Grass glared at Ning Shu. “Who are you to ask that? I don’t know you.”
Ning Shu: What a nasty temper…
“This ghastly place has no spiritual energy at all. I grew taller in the past, but now I ended up shrinking back,” Little Grass said, still glaring at Ning Shu.
“How did you get here?” Ning Shu asked in curiosity.
“I don’t know, I passed through a crack and came here. I couldn’t find the way back,” Little Grass said.
A crack between planes?
“Where’s your former master?” Ning Shu asked.
“Dead. Do you have any idea how much time has passed? I’ve lived for hundreds of years,” Little Grass said, frowning.
Ning Shu sighed. “So you’ve been this size for hundreds of years, then.”
Little Grass raised her chin. “I’m still better than you. Look at you now! You’re short and ugly, humph!”
Ning Shu looked at Little Grass, who was now a pale and delicate little loli. “Are you angry at me?”
Little Grass squinted her eyes at her. “Am I not being obvious enough? I really want to whip you.”
“What do you actually do, anyway?” Little Grass asked. She seemed a little curious. “Do you just… run around different worlds?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Yup, that’s exactly what I do.”
This time, she had been transported into this task world. When this task ended and it was time for her to accept another task, she would be transported into a different one again.
“Why?”
“So I can live,” Ning Shu answered.
Little Grass snorted. “I forgive you, then. Are you going to leave again this time?”
“Just like how I occupied and left your master’s body back then, I will also leave this body one day,” Ning Shu said matter-of-factly. Little Grass had lived for hundreds of years. After some thought, she would be able to understand the meaning of what Ning Shu said.
Little Grass frowned. “Really? Then, it’d have been better if we never met.”
Ning Shu felt that Little Grass had grown much more temperamental compared to the Little Grass that she used to know. Little Grass had been so innocent and nice before.
Little Grass had now been corrupted!
“Take me with you,” Little Grass said. “I don’t want to stay in this shitty place. It doesn’t have any spiritual energy.”
“I don’t think there’s a way for me to take you away,” Ning Shu said. If only she had the strength to do it, though, she would be able to take Little Grass away…
“Oh,” Little Grass muttered softly. She looked aggrieved.
“This is an interstellar plane, so technology rules above all here. It’s normal that this plane doesn’t have any spiritual energy. If you cultivate Unsurpassable Martial Arts techniques, though, you should be able to absorb a certain, different form of energy that exists here. You know Unsurpassable Martial Arts, don’t you?”
“Of course I do,” Little Grass immediately said. “That form of energy, the one that can be cultivated with Unsurpassable Martial Arts, conflicts with the energy in my body, though. That’s why I had to absorb other forms of energy.”
Ning Shu wondered why she didn’t experience the same conflict when she had cultivated, then. Could it be because the original host’s body had never absorbed spiritual energy before? Perhaps the body indeed could only absorb one type of energy, and perhaps the only energy that Ning Shu had cultivated since she arrived here had been that form of energy.
Ning Shu spread her hands in helplessness. “I have no solutions to offer you, then.”
She gave Little Grass some nutrient solution. Little Grass took a sip and shook her head. “It tastes bad.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes and said, “Just drink it.”
