Chapter 186 - I Cannot Save The World
Chapter 186 - "I Cannot Save The World"
Bai Rouyun knew that the Cloud Leopard would be extremely shocked when encountering the Primal Chaos Dimension, but she also knew that Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin would take care of it.
While the two children emerged in front of the Cloud Leopard, they were gentle and refined, but their auras were significantly different, and the Cloud Leopard could not help but frown as it felt that something was very different.
These two children in front of it were not humans nor beasts; they were spirits!
Spirits were extremely rare to encounter in this world, and they were even rarer to encounter on this continent. The Cloud Leopard only knew about spirits as its mother had told it about them before, and it had always loved listening to legends and tales of the world beyond the mountain forest.
Spirits were not born like beasts and humans; they were created by nature.
There were different ways to create a spirit; these two seemed to be artifact spirits, meaning that at the time that the artifacts came to be, nature made a spirit which belonged to the artifact itself.
These were not the only kind of spirits that existed; there were evil spirits, elemental spirits, essence spirits, and so on.
These two small spirits were quite interesting, and the Cloud Leopard looked at them without disguising its admiration and curiosity.
Sensing that the Cloud Leopard liked it, Xiao Bao’s face turned slightly arrogant and happy. He was clearly excited about being recognized for being a spirit. It was good that someone understood his magnificence, and not just kidnapped him to be their son.
"Xiao Mao," the voice was immature and cute, but there was a power contained within that caused the Cloud Leopard to look at the child with confusion.
"I have decided that you should be named Xiao Mao." The child, Xiao Bao, looked at the Cloud Leopard without being able to hide its gloating.
Bai Rouyun had named him Xiao Bao, which meant Little Treasure, and the cauldron spirit was named Xiao Jin, which meant Little Gold.
Even the Golden Emperor Vine was named Xiao Hua, which meant Little Flower, so why should the Cloud Leopard be spared having such a humiliating name? Hence, Xiao Bao took it even further and named it Xiao Mao, which meant Little Cat.
While it was a Leopard, it felt that it was just a cat in the end. Hence the name was fitting for him.
Xiao Mao, which had accepted his name, shook his head, and smiled slightly. While he knew that the name was meant to be an insult, he felt quite good. He never had a name before, and no matter how childish it was, it brought some warmth to its heart.
Bai Rouyun could sense what was happening within the Primal Chaos Dimension, but she merely shook her head in amusement.
As she turned around, she found that Little Chu was leaning against the cave wall, looking at her with a bit of a smile on his face, and some amusement in his eyes.
"Why do you have such a hobby of looking after anyone who is alone?" he asked gently.
He had seen her protect the orphaned children back in the Imperial Capital, and he knew that she had taken care of Qin Huiling when she was all alone and had nowhere to go.
Now, she even took care of this Cloud Leopard so that it would not be alone any longer. While it was not a bad companion, it was not really an ideal companion either, so choosing to bring it with her could actually not bring her many benefits.
Even so, it did not seem as if Bai Rouyun was not regretting her decision; in fact, she seemed extremely pleased and happy. The smile on her face could not be extinguished, and Little Chu helplessly shook his head.
"Being alone is a horrible feeling," Bai Rouyun said gently. "While I am not in a position to save the world, and help anyone who feels lonely, I do not mind doing my best to help at least those whom I come across. As long as they are worthy of my help, then I will help them."
Little Chu could not help but smile when he heard her gentle words. He truly felt that Bai Rouyun was a wonderful person.
She was not someone who thought she could change the world or stop everyone’s suffering, but she still did what she could to help others, purely because she wanted to help them.
She was also not just a gentle person, who would be taken advantage of, she would be ruthless and act without mercy, but even so, she could not be considered evil.
A person like this, which was so real, was truly refreshing to be together with. Her positive mindset infected others, and her gentle and friendly personality was enough to cause all around her to be happy.
Together, the two looked around the cave, but they found nothing of interest before they slowly made their way out of it once more.
Bai Rouyun was still unable to battle, so Little Chu went first and ensured that nothing unexpected would appear to cause problems.
As they left the cave, Bai Rouyun noticed that Little Chu was standing in front of her in a defensive position.
His eyes were alert as they surveyed the surroundings, and his muscles were taut.
Bai Rouyun narrowed her eyes as she heightened her senses. She could sense that a group of people was moving towards them, but as to the strength of the group, and the amount of members, she did not know.
However, noticing the solemnity in Little Chu’s expression, it was evident that the advancing party’s strength was relatively high. He was an Innate Realm, Blue Tiered expert, on the verge of breaking into the Indigo Tier. To make him alert, their strength was evident.
