The little girl was called Tutu and didn't have a surname.
The descendants of slaves didn't have the qualifications to have a surname. According to what Li Yunmu knew, her parents had died a long time ago. They had been chased by the armed forces of the landlords while fleeing to Cloud Island.
Thus, Tutu hadn't had a good time on the island in the past two years. The other residents were already having a hard time, let alone a little girl who hadn't even reached the age of seven.
Fortunately, the slaves hadn't lost their virtue. Although they were in a difficult situation, every household still took care of the little girl.
They had allowed her to live until now.
It could be said that half of the reason why Tutu could live until now was because of the care of the residents. The other half was because she pursed her lips and stubbornly said that she had survived by eating insects.
"Elder brother, actually, Tutu is also afraid of you, but …" The maturity of the little girl surpassed that of a seven-year-old. She clenched her teeth and summoned her courage. "But Tutu also wants to be like you, to become a physical flux expert and become formidable like elder brother."
"Why do you want to become a physical flux expert?" Li Yunmu was startled. Although he had thought of something, he hadn't expected that a little girl who was struggling to survive would surprisingly have such ambitions.
At least, the other residents and children of Cloud Island didn't have such ambitions.
The other children followed behind him from a distance, hoping that he would have some candy in his hand.
"I don't know, but I want … I want to eat my fill every day." After saying that, the little girl lowered her head. Her small face was covered in dirt, but her sparkling eyes were still shining.
"You want to eat your fill …" Li Yunmu mumbled.
Looking at Tutu who was still looking at him with hope, Li Yunmu had to admit that his heart was pounding. It was a very simple reason.
It wasn't to become stronger or to take revenge, but to eat one's fill every day.
Perhaps to the little girl, she had never experienced what it felt like to have a full meal.
But Li Yunmu didn't say anything in the end. Although the little girl was filled with hope that he would guide her in cultivation, he wasn't that kind of person.
Li Yunmu wasn't a good person. Although his heart wasn't made of stone, he didn't have any sympathy. There were many girls in the Origin World who had the same fate as Tutu.
It was impossible for him to bring a seven-year-old girl with him just because his heart was throbbing. She was a burden, and he could not be willful.
"You are still young when it comes to cultivation. Alright, this elder brother can only give you this. It will allow you to slowly become more powerful and fill your stomach." Li Yunmu thought for a moment, then finally took out a small pouch and handed it over to Tutu.
This was the croton power grain that he had recently refined in the Astral World. This was the ration that he carried with him, and there were about 1,000 supreme-grade crotons.
If Li Yunmu ate it himself, then even if he wasn't cultivating the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique, he could probably eat it for ten days to half a month.
However, if it was given to Tutu, it would be enough for her to eat for a year.
"Big brother, what is this?" Tutu was very disappointed, but she didn't seem to give up. She held back her tears and asked.
"This is the food specially eaten by flux experts," Li Yunmu explained patiently.
"Flux expert!" The little girl's eyes went wide.
In the little girl's view of life, physical martial artists were already strong enough. Ever since she was young, she had heard from her parents, and from the people on the island. They had always described how strong physical martial artists were, how strong they were, and how they were not afraid of ferocious beasts.
But even though she had heard very little about flux experts, it didn't mean that the people of this world didn't know about their existence.
In their eyes, flux experts were aloof and untouchable characters.
When Li Yunmu had stayed on Azure Dragon Island, the fishermen of the fishing village had rarely seen a flux expert. From this, it could be seen that this small island was even more so.
"Yes, so you must know that you can only eat half a grain in the beginning. If your body feels full, you can't eat anymore. Only when you feel hungry can you continue eating, understand?" Li Yunmu warned her.
Clearly, Tutu hadn't come into contact with such a high level matter, so she nodded her head in confusion.
"Remember, if you want to become formidable and rely on your own strength to fill your stomach, you can't eat too much. Moreover, you can't let a third person know," Li Yunmu warned her again.
This was the simplest method Li Yunmu could think of to change Tutu's fate.
Extreme grade power grain was something that even physical flux experts couldn't eat. If the little girl had it, then even if she didn't have anyone to teach her cultivation, even if she was still young, as long as she ate a small bag of power grain, she would be able to change her fate.
Naturally, the prerequisite was that she would obey his repeated warnings.
"Elder brother, if Tutu eats this power grain, will she grow stronger like a physical flux expert?" Tutu suddenly asked.
"Yes, but only you are allowed to eat it and only you will know about it." Li Yunmu nodded and returned to his residence without paying any attention to the little girl.
"Yes, but only you are allowed to eat it and only you will know about it." Li Yunmu nodded and returned to his residence without paying any attention to the little girl.
Li Yunmu made his decision. If he waited for another two days and the other party didn't come, he would return to his residence.
Today was the seventeenth day since he had arrived on the island. Since Zheng Quan had left a day earlier than him, it had already been eighteen days.
He needed to return to Blue Moon Sect and exchange for more flux points besides the seventy-two flux points. This had always been his goal, and it was a necessary path for every descender to advance to great flux expert.

For the next two days, Li Yunmu didn't enter seclusion. He leisurely strolled around the small island, occasionally fishing at the seaside or diving into the sea to fish out some sea creatures.
He picked all kinds of creatures from North Blue and threw them into the lake in his heavenly world.
Although the majority of saltwater creatures couldn't adapt to fresh water and died not long after, Li Yunmu hadn't underestimated the formidable life forms of the Origin World.
In the past two days, he had thrown more than seventy kinds of sea creatures into the lake. In the end, four of them had managed to adapt and survived. This was an unexpected harvest.
In the past two days, Tutu would appear every day, but the little girl was extremely sensible. She knew that Li Yunmu didn't want to take her with him, and she also knew that he didn't want any trouble.
Because of that, she always stood far behind Li Yunmu and silently watched everything he did.
The only change was in the little girl's complexion. After eating the extreme grade power grain for two days, her cheeks had become a little rosier, and there was a hint of vitality in them.
Li Yunmu couldn't understand why the little girl insisted on accompanying him from afar, but he didn't want to know about it. What comforted him the most was that Tutu had listened to his warnings.
In the past two days, Li Yunmu didn't sense that the residents of the island had learned about the croton power grain.
Finally, twenty days passed.
