Lily was walking around in circles in the cave, looking at herself now that she had grown a little bit older, with a somewhat curious expression on her face. It turned out that all children were like this, suddenly growing a lot bigger one day!
Eric knew what Lily was thinking at a glance. Lily's ideas were always strange.
"Lily, children don't grow up suddenly. You are just an exception."
Lily looked at Eric with some confusion: "Then why did I grow so much taller after sleeping?"
Eric put away the chair beside him and extended his hand to Lily: "You will know the answer to this question later. Let's go. You have been staying here for almost a month. I will take you to see other places."
Lily put her hand in Eric's palm, and the next second Eric held her hand and took her out.
After walking a few steps, Lily finally remembered the question: "Why can I know it later? Can't I know it now?"
Eric said without even turning his head: "This is a little difficult to explain. You will naturally understand it when you grow up. Okay, don't talk now. Here, take it and eat it."
As he said this, Eric stuffed a spiritual fruit into Lily's hand.
Lily bit the fruit and held back the question. Forget it, Ajun is just so lazy, if he doesn’t want to say it, then don’t say it!
Eric took Lily by the hand, left the temporary hill and flew into the sky with Lily on a cloud.
After eating the fruit, Lily lay on the clouds and looked down. The prehistoric world was very vast, and Lily was curious about everything. When he saw the prehistoric creatures with strange looks, he would excitedly pull Eric to look together.
Eric took the opportunity to introduce to Lily what those things were.
"Cheng Huang, he is not from the fox clan, he just looks like one, he has no other abilities, just a long life."
"This is a liar. If you encounter one next time, avoid it. They are a family of liars. Be careful not to be deceived."
"Wind-born beasts are good materials for prolonging the lifespan of species with short lifespans, but they are of little use to us."
Lily was amazed when she heard this. It turned out that the creatures in the ancient times were so interesting!
Eric patted Lily's head and said, "If you like, I can catch some and take them back to Zixiao Palace to raise them, how about that?"
Lily immediately looked up: "Is it okay? Wouldn't Jun be annoyed by their noise?"
Eric laughed: "Of course it won't disturb me."
But Lily shook her head and refused: "No, I don't want them to go to Zixiao Palace. Zixiao Palace is my and Ajun's home. We won't support them! Humph!"
Eric was a little surprised. Before, Lily had always maintained a high degree of favor and kindness towards those living beings. He did not expect that she would refuse to bring the living beings into Zixiao Palace on the grounds that Zixiao Palace was their home.
Lily soon forgot about this matter and went to see the scenery below with great interest again.
He was even so engrossed in watching that half of his body accidentally fell from the clouds, and was quickly rescued by Eric.
When they reached a peach forest, Eric stopped and took Lily down with him. Lily looked at Eric in confusion.
Eric pointed to the peach forest in front of him and said, "Here is what I want. Um... Does Lily like to eat peaches?"
Lily had already let go of Eric's hand, stood on tiptoe to pick a peach that was bigger than her head, wiped it with her sleeve, and put it into her mouth.
After finishing the meal, he looked at Eric in confusion: "Ajun, what did you say?"
Eric shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You can eat it. This is a branch of the innate spiritual root Renshui Peach. I will collect the mother plant and bring it back to Zixiao Palace to plant. You will never lack peaches to eat in the future."
Lily's lips were full of juice from chewing the peach. When she heard Eric's words, she didn't object this time. She nodded and said vaguely: "Yes, Jun, take it back. This peach is great!"
A plain white handkerchief appeared in Eric's hand. He bent down and carefully wiped the juice from the corner of Lily's mouth. After Lily finished eating, he condensed a ball of water for Lily to wash her hands, and then took Lily to the center of the peach forest.
In the center of the peach forest there is another huge peach tree shining with golden light. The peaches on the tree are twice as big as the ones Lily picked at the outermost edge. There are only twelve peaches on it. The branches and leaves of the peach tree hang down to the ground, and new roots grow, gradually developing into this peach forest.
Eric stepped forward and touched the trunk of the peach tree, sighing: "The spiritual energy here is barren, no wonder the peaches outside only have a little spiritual energy. If it is delayed any longer, the innate spiritual roots will probably wither due to lack of spiritual energy."
After saying this, Eric turned around and told Lily: "You just play in this peach forest, don't run out, I will come to find you later after I get my things."
Lily knew that Eric was going to do something serious, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Jun, I won't run around!"
Eric was a little worried, so he put another mark on Lily, then sat cross-legged facing the Renshui Peach, and made a hand gesture. A purple light flew out from Eric's hand and connected to the tree trunk.
Lily felt bored after watching for a while, so she squatted on the ground and played with stones. After a while, she stood up and walked around. When she got bored of walking, she ran to the woods to pick peach branches to eat.
But even when she was bored, Lily remembered Eric's words and stayed in the forest.
When she turned to the periphery, Lily's belly was bulging from eating so many peaches, and she came to a conclusion: the closer the peaches were to the big peach tree, the better they tasted, and the peaches on the periphery were not as sweet as those in the center.
Lily's unbridled eating made her so full that she could hardly walk. She touched her stomach, picked a smooth-looking stone and sat down. She burped and her body smelled like peaches.
"Hey! Kid! I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have grown so big? Where is your brother?"
Not long after sitting down, Lily suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. Turning around, she saw a person she had just met not long ago standing outside the peach forest.
Tongtian followed Eric all the way to the peach forest. After watching Eric leading the greatly changed child in, he also wanted to follow in, but found that he could not get in. This peach forest seemed to be some kind of innate spiritual root with its own protective barrier, which blocked him outside.
After walking around outside and not hearing any sounds from Eric and Lily, Tongtian was really curious, so he just squatted outside and waited. Not long after he squatted, he saw Lily coming out. Eric was not there. Since Eric was not there, Tongtian immediately showed up and greeted Lily.
Lily tilted her head and said, "Are you the one who snatched the treasure from Ajun last time?"
Tongtian was unhappy and said dissatisfiedly: "You kid! How can you talk like that? Do you know the rule of first come first served? What do you mean I am trying to steal the treasure from you? It is obviously you who are stealing the treasure from me and fellow Taoist Grace Simon!"
Lily thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. Lily was a polite child and immediately changed her words: "I'm sorry, my Ajun stole your things, but the things should belong to my Ajun, otherwise how could it grow when my Ajun arrived?"
Tongtian was speechless for a moment. Didn't he have to thank the other party for coming and giving birth to his baby after his things were robbed?
But this is not important. He is very curious about the cub. Although this cub grows very fast, he originally wanted to go to the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan to catch... and ask a cub to come back and take a look. But when he thought about the fact that there are only a few cubs left in the Dragon and Phoenix Clan, Tongtian was embarrassed to catch other people's cubs.
So Tongtian thought about it and decided to follow Eric, intending to study this ready-made cub.
"Kid, what's your name?" Tongtian asked Lily while sitting cross-legged outside the peach forest.
Lily felt that this person didn't look like a bad person, so she answered honestly: "My name is Lily, and I'm from Ajun's family!"
Tong Tian was excited when he heard Lily's honest answer. He waved his hand and said, "Come closer, kid. You are too far away. It's a little difficult for me to talk."
Lily was bored, and Eric was busy with work and forgot to give her some "toys" to play with. Now that there was someone talking, it was just right, so Lily moved closer to the edge of the peach forest. However, she remembered what Eric said not to leave the peach forest, and she refused to move until she was one meter away from the outside of the peach forest. She sat down and threw a peach to Tongtian.
Tongtian took the peaches and thanked him with a smile: "Xiao Lily, why are you alone? Where is your master, I mean your Ah Jun? What is he doing in there?"
Lily immediately looked at Tong Tian with vigilance: "I don't want to tell you what Ajun is doing! Are you trying to steal Ajun's treasure again!"
Tongtian was somewhat speechless and emphasized again: "I never stole your Ah Jun's treasure. It was your Ah Jun who stole my treasure!"
However, from Lily's words, Tongtian also confirmed that there were indeed treasures in this forest, and they might have been taken away by the man in this child's family.
Tongtian rolled his eyes and said to Lily: "Little Lily, there are only peaches here and nothing else. Are you bored?"
Lily put her hands on her chin and nodded in distress: "Ajun forgot to give me something to play with. It must be because I lost the gourd last time, so Ajun didn't give me anything to play with this time!"
"Hmph! It's all that fat little bird's fault!" Lily said as she waved her fist. She was very resentful of Samuel for stealing her gourd, even though the gourd was supposed to have belonged to Samuel.
Tongtian listened to Lily patiently and continued to coax her: "Little Lily, do you see that mountain?" Tongtian raised his hand and pointed to a tall mountain surrounded by fairy air not far away.
Lily looked in the direction of Tong Tian's hand, nodded, and asked, "I see."
"Xiao Lily, that mountain is really fun. There are many interesting little animals on the mountain, and there are delicious yellow plums. Do you want to go and play?"
Tongtian asked with a very sincere expression.
Lily was a little hesitant. She wanted to go, but her husband Ajun said that she could not leave the forest.
Tongtian saw Lily's excited expression and immediately added fuel to the fire: "Little Lily, look, that mountain is not far away. Isn't your Ah Jun busy? It may take three or five days to finish. How about I take you there to play, eat the plums, and then send you back immediately? I promise that your Ah Jun won't find out!"
Hey, take the cub back first, and then he will have the final say! He has raised so many furry creatures, but he has never raised a human-shaped cub!
Tongtian had a wishful plan in mind.
Lily's eyes lit up when she heard this. This person was right. If Ajun couldn't finish it in three or five days, wouldn't she be bored to death? The mountain was so close, she would be able to come back quickly after going there, and Ajun wouldn't find out! Thinking of this, Lily asked Tongtian:
"May I have your name?"
Tongtian introduced himself when he saw something interesting was going on: "My Taoist name is Shangqing, you can call me Brother Tongtian, do you want to go? Come out and I'll take you out to play!"
Lily stood up and walked out of the peach forest, with his hands behind his back, saying: "Daoist friend Tongtian, we agreed that you would take me back after playing for a while!"
Tongtian also got up from the ground, patted his clothes and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Lily's waist, and quickly left the peach forest with Lily.
