Chapter 304: Ice Coffin

Chapter 304: Ice Coffin

Xiao Mao was the most calm and steady of all the siblings, but even he did not know how to handle Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao was the strongest in their group. He was also the spirit in control of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, so he could kill them with a mere thought, but fortunately, he had a somewhat good mind.
Xiao Bao would say many hurtful things, and he would show his disdain and dislike for the whole world, but he was also the one they could depend on the most.
While being sarcastic and hurtful, he would still bandage their wounds and ensure that they would heal as soon as possible.
To Xiao Mao, this was not a big deal, as he had gotten familiar with this little troublesome spirit, but looking at the adorable Jiaojiao, the Cloud Leopard finally felt that he had to protect her more.
Hence, Xiao Mao looked at the Golden Emperor Vine that had almost grown root on top of his head, and decisively followed the two small girls towards Xiao Bao's wooden hut.
The young boy had, naturally, noticed them long ago. As the spirit of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, he knew everything that was happening within this small dimension, but he was also feeling conflicted.
He had been alone for thousands of years, and every time he had a master, he would be treated as a tool spirit at most. Only his creator and Bai Rouyun looked at him as a real person with independent thoughts and a personality.
It was also due to this that, although unwillingly, he had approved of her being his mother. At least a mother was better than a master, and he could not help but feel more and more connected to Bai Rouyun as their time together increased.
He had certain theories and thoughts running wild in his mind, and after hearing Jiaojiao mention the myth of a legendary immortal fairy, his heart began trembling.
When the strange episode from before happened, his core almost shook in disbelief, and even now, he had to gather his mind that was in disbelief and shock.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Bao would have stayed back with the purpose of showing his disdain for the world, but today, he was not staying in the hut because he wanted to show off his arrogance, but because he was truly shocked to the core.
"Xiao Bao, are you okay?"
Bai Rouyun had followed behind the others, and looking at the absentminded expression on the small boy's face, she could not help but feel worried. Had anything happened to him that could cause such disarray in his mind?
"Mother?"
It seemed that the voice had dragged Xiao Bao out of his chaotic thoughts, and he looked at the young woman in front of him with some complex emotions within his eyes which were hard to understand.
Bai Rouyun did not understand these complex eyes, and she furrowed her brows as she tried to touch his forehead. Although this young boy was a spirit, she could not help but wonder if he could get sick, but he seemed to be physically alright.
"That thing that entered my body before, did it have some sort of influence on you? Have you been damaged in any way?"
Bai Rouyun had been very happy after getting another daughter, but she did not forget her previously adopted children. Upon seeing Xiao Bao's clear discomfort and loss, she almost panicked as she worried about him.
Xiao Bao raised his head, and his eyes, which were usually full of arrogance and disdain, suddenly seemed fragile. They seemed to contain a certain kind of hope and yearning that he dared not believe in.
"I am okay."
Finally, the little boy seemed to gather his mind, and his head lowered a little as he straightened out the many chaotic thoughts that had wrecked havoc in his head.
"Can you follow me for a moment? I have to test something very important."
Having begun suspecting certain things, Xiao Bao seemed to have decided to test it out right away, and although Jiaojiao had appeared, he did not pay her much attention.
The dragon girl was indeed cute and adorable, but to Xiao Bao, the current matter was much more important than acknowledging a new sister.
"Of course I have time."
Bai Rouyun could sense that this was an important matter, and she was serious as she answered Xiao Bao. She quickly turned around and rubbed the heads of both Xiao Jin and Jiaojiao.
"Xiao Mao, you have to look after your two adorable younger sisters. I have to go somewhere with Xiao Bao."
Although Bai Rouyun was eager to see what this arrogant little spirit had prepared for her, she still made sure that the others were well looked after as well.
Xiao Bao was waiting for her to finish speaking, after which he willed the surroundings to change. As he was the spirit connected to the Primal Chaos Pagoda, he was able to control it according to his will, and teleporting the two of them was no problem at all.
As the surroundings turned clear once more, Bai Rouyun found that she was somewhere she had never been before. The Primal Chaos Pagoda was likely much larger than she had ever guessed, and according to Xiao Bao, there were different worlds in each level she accessed.
The first level was suitable for planting plants, but she had still not entered the second level to compare the two.
However, this place was clearly not the area she was used to visiting. Could it be that the second level had been unlocked?
"This is actually below the pagoda. It is an ice cave and created purely to keep the soul fragment of the creator at peace."
As Xiao Bao spoke, he looked at an ice coffin that was placed on a beautifully carved table, also made from solid ice.
