Chapter 18: "Little White Lotus (3)"
When a baby is born into this world, contractual spirits will form a bond with the human soul and the contractual spirits will sleep in the soul and only awaken at the age of fourteen. No known method except in the event of death, can separate them.
One can only form a bond with one contractual spirit for life, so no matter how useless her own contractual spirit is, she has no other choice in the matter and even more so to throw it out.
"The Spirit World." Little Lotus replied bitterly.
"That's where you're from?" This was the first time she's heard of this place.
Little Lotus nodded, as if afraid of Jun Wu Xie disliking him, in a well-behaved manner he added: "Before the awakening, the contractual spirit will stay in the spirit world, if the person dies, we will go back there again. That place is terrifying, I've just managed to escape, please, do not throw me back, please? "
She'd like to, but could she do that?
"I ... I can prove to be useful, please wait!" A sudden determination seemed to have possessed Little Lotus when he finally let go of her leg, his small frail body quivering as he stood up, lifted his tender little arm straight out in front of Jun Wu Xie.
"Ah?" Jun Wu Xie asked with big innocent eyes looking at him.
Little Lotus snorted, his tender little face with a painful expression looking at her, he mustered up his courage and finally shouted: "Eat!"
"...." What's there to eat?
"I am a special lotus, if you eat my petals, it can purify your blood and remove all impurities within it." Little lotus declared with vigor and pride.
Jun Wu Xie eyes lit up when she heard that. No one knew better than her, how rare was it to purify one's blood? Even if a medicine is amazing, there was still a limit. To be able to condition the human body and to improve the physique was possible to truly cleanse the body of all impurities was akin to being reborn!
In her previous world, despite technology and medicine being very well developed, many Scientists were still researching genes and how they affect the human body, but still have not found any suitable methods.
If what Little Lotus claimed was true, then he really is important!
In order to determine if little lotus was speaking the truth, Jun Wu Xie held onto his little tender arm…although she knew the little guy in front of her was in fact a white lotus, the appearance of him in human form made it difficult for her to act any further. She brought his arm to her lips and looked at him, he was already bawling with huge teardrops falling.
"...." She really wasn't a monster.
Softly sighing, she put his tender little arm down.
Although the little lotus was 'determined' to be useful to his mistress, when he saw that she had put his arms to her lips, he couldn't control his own fear and tears started falling on its own. When the expected pain did not come, he had mixed feelings – he was really very happy not to be eaten but… his mistress will feel that he is really useless and abandon him.
"I…I am really not afraid of pain….." Little Lotus weakly declared.
Jun Wu Xie glanced over to his red and watery eyes.
"...…" Little Lotus was instantly discouraged.
" Well…... although it hurts….. but it will grow back." Little Lotus softly said.
"Your petals are part of your body?"Jun Wu Xie clarified.
Little Lotus nodded.
So if I want to pluck a petal, I am actually pulling your arm?"
Little Lotus nodded again.
Jun Wu Xie was completely silent.
Just when she finally found a use for this little fellow, it kind of turned into 'cannibalism' which no matter what, it had crossed her bottom line and it was not something she would do. Hence, he had reverted back to his useless status.
"Ah! I have this!" Little Lotus suddenly exclaimed as he touched his little apron and held out his small clenched fist.
He slowly opened his hand revealing five small seed quietly lying on his palm.
"What are these?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
"These are lotus seeds!" Little Lotus blinked a few times.
"Although the effect isn't as great as eating the petals, consuming it can strengthen the bones, purify the bone marrow though its unable to renew the tendons and flesh." he slowly trailed off.
'Only five?" Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows. Having such an effect is pretty good too.
"I'm left with five for now. I can produce one once a month, the others ate them all up, I could only save these five seeds." Little Lotus explained timidly.
"They?" Jun Wu Xie found it really hard to understand his manner of speaking. However once a month is still good.
After keeping the five lotus seeds safely, Jun Wu Xie thought about her own little lotus. Although he had no fighting ability his ability to sense seems quite good and these lotus seeds although they are not at the same level as elixirs, it can significantly improve a person's constitution. This is what she needed most now!
Whether it was herself ,Jun Xian or Jun Qing, they all needed to improve their body's constitution.
Conditioning drugs can only achieve a certain effect, there will still however have some side effects and targeting the bones were one of the hardest to achieve. These lotus seeds have solved the first major step!
With strong bones as the base, conditioning the rest of the body is simply child's play to her.
With a contractual spirit meant that she could start cultivating in this new world, even tough little lotus was unable to fight, at least she could start cultivating and rely on herself!
Little Lotus was waiting anxiously at the side waiting for some kind of affirmation from Jun Wu Xie as he fiddled with his fingers when she finally nodded at him.
Knowing that he would not be abandoned, Little Lotus gave a wide smile as tears started trickling down. He vowed in his heart to be a good contractual spirit and do his utmost for his new mistress.
She started studying him in earnest as she found that various parts of his body have different effects. His flesh and blood could practically make one's physique reborn, even his tears have the effect of conditioning the blood.
It can be said other than its zero combat abilities, it could be considered a priceless treasure.
