Xiao Cao's Secret
"Unknowingly, Xiao Cao has helped me so much. On the other hand, I haven't helped Xiao Cao much."
Ye Fei looked at Xiaocao's weak appearance and his heart was instantly filled with guilt. Unfortunately, Xiaocao was a spiritual creature of heaven and earth that had taken human form. She was different from a human, so he couldn't help Xiaocao heal.
What should he do?
Seeing Xiao Cao lying in his arms and continuously weakening, Ye Fei was very anxious. In his anxiety, he suddenly thought of the first time he saw Xiao Cao injured.
"At that time, I remember that after Little Grass was injured, she had to absorb a Saint grade spirit spring water to recover. But in this vast desert, there isn't even a drop of water. Where would I find a Saint grade spirit spring for her?" Ye Fei frowned.
In the end, he thought of a solution. "Since there isn't a Holy Spirit Spring, I don't know if I can replace it with a Spirit Stone. Moreover, the spiritual energy in a Spirit Stone is more abundant than a Holy Spirit Spring."
Coincidentally, when he was gambling with Shen Tu Ming, Ye Fei won all of Shen Tu Ming's 50 kilograms of high-grade Spirit Stone.
At this time, Ye Fei couldn't care less. He hurriedly opened Shen Tu Ming's interspatial ring and took out the huge high-grade Spirit Stone. He asked Xiao Cao, "Xiao Cao, take a look at this. Can it help you recover?"
"Yi?"
Xiao Cao looked up and saw that Ye Fei was actually giving her such a precious thing. She quickly waved her hands to show that she didn't need it.
In the end, the Holy Bodhi needed these Spirit Stones to mature. These Spirit Stones were related to a lot of candied haws.
Xiao Cao repeatedly gestured to show that she didn't need it. However, how could her longing eyes hide from Ye Fei? Ye Fei couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed her little head and said, "Xiao Cao, you really don't need to replenish your spiritual energy?"
"Yi!"
Xiao Cao firmly waved her little fist. She had promised to help Ye Fei cultivate Saint Bodhi. If she said so, Xiao Cao would definitely do it.
"Is that so? That's a pity. Originally, I wanted to wait until you were healed and then take you to eat the delicious candied haws. It seems that I should wait until you are healed. "Ye Fei pretended to put away all the candied haws in the beast mark space.
In any case, Ye Fei had studied the beast mark for a long time. He had long understood the principle of entering and exiting the beast mark space. This made Xiao Cao very anxious. A layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She was afraid that Ye Fei would really take away her treasure.
In a hurry, Xiao Cao could only take a bite out of the huge Upper Level Spirit Stone. He even took a big bite out of it and swallowed it.
"Damn, Xiao Cao, your teeth are so good. You are simply eating spirit stones like rice." Ye Fei couldn't help but tease Xiao Cao.
When Xiao Cao heard this, her face suddenly turned red. She quickly covered her face with her small hands. She looked like she had lost a lot of face.
In the end, no matter how young Xiao Cao was, she was still a little girl. When her secret of eating was suddenly discovered, she felt a little uneasy. It was as if she was afraid that Ye Fei would dislike her for eating too much and then not want her anymore.
Thus, Xiao Cao looked at Ye Fei bashfully and pushed the spirit stone back. She indicated that she was already full after eating a small piece.
Ye Fei suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had long suspected that Xiao Cao was clearly a Lingzhi child, but she ate candied haws as if they were her staple food. Every day, when she was free, she would stuff a lot of candied haws into her mouth.
It could be said that she liked to eat them, but if she ate tens of thousands of candied haws day and night, no matter how delicious the food was, she would get tired of it.
However, Xiao Cao just didn't get tired of eating candied haws. The first thing she did every day when she woke up was to eat as much as she could. There were two possibilities for this. The first was that Xiao Cao really had no resistance to candied haws.
The second was that Xiao Cao was simply too hungry. Just like humans, once they were hungry, they would even eat dirt, not to mention other things.
"Now it seems that Xiao Cao is also like this. This little girl, she actually hid the fact that I was hungry all this time. She only ate candied haws that were completely useless to her." Ye Fei suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. In fact, he should have thought of this earlier. Since Xiao Cao was a spiritual creature that had taken human form, what she needed the most was spiritual energy.
And the thing that gathered the most spiritual energy was spirit stones.
Once she ran out of spirit stones to eat, Xiao Cao would starve and even become weaker. Unfortunately, he didn't notice this until now. Because Xiao Cao was too weak, he accidentally exposed this secret.
"Xiao Cao, tell me, do you need a lot of spirit stones to eat your fill?" Ye Fei's expression was very serious.
"Yi!"
Xiao Cao hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she was very easy to feed. She didn't need spirit stones at all. She just needed to eat candied haws to fill her stomach when she was hungry.
"Is that really the case, Xiao Cao? Do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Ye Fei's expression became even more serious, but his heart was filled with warmth.
This time, Xiao Cao didn't say anything. She only lowered her head uneasily and pinched her fingers with a bashful expression. Ye Fei naturally understood Xiao Cao's uneasiness.
In the end, spirit stones weren't ordinary things. There were no more spirit stones left in the Tianwu Continent. The remaining spirit stones were even rarer. For someone like Xiao Cao, who ate spirit stones for food, and a large amount of spirit stones at that, even those super aristocratic families couldn't afford to raise her.
Normally, when a cultivator encountered a spiritual creature like Xiao Cao, their first reaction was definitely not to raise Xiao Cao and let her grow. Instead, they would kill her and refine her like a spiritual medicine or even directly refine her into an elixir.
This was the same as ordinary people. When there was enough food, they would catch some kittens and puppies and raise them as pets. But once there was a famine, even if they couldn't bear it, the first ones to be eaten would be these pets.
Ye Fei understood that Xiao Cao's uneasiness was definitely because of this. That was why she had been enduring her hunger and didn't let Ye Fei feel that she was a burden. He wouldn't abandon her, nor would he hurt her.
"You're really a smart girl. But Xiao Cao, don't worry. In my eyes, you're not a tool or a pet. You're my friend, my companion. Even if the whole world abandons you, I won't abandon you!" Ye Fei held the weak Xiao Cao with an incomparably solemn expression.
"I will definitely let you grow up like a normal girl. I will protect you and not let anyone bully you. So in the future, you don't need to hide anything from me. If you're hungry, just eat as much as you want. It's just a spirit stone. It's not like I can't afford to raise you."
As he spoke, Ye Fei pushed the spirit stone back to Xiao Cao. Xiao Cao didn't refuse this time. She just hugged the spirit stone with red eyes and glanced at Ye Fei again.
"Eat it. If you're not full, don't think about eating candied haws in the future." Ye Fei had a smile on his face as he lovingly rubbed Xiao Cao's ponytail.
Xiao Cao smiled happily and finally ate the spirit stone without worry. It was obvious that Xiao Cao was really starving. She finished the hundred kilograms of high-grade spirit stone in just a few bites.
With the nourishment of sufficient spiritual energy, Xiao Cao's tired spirit recovered. Even the green leaves that she had lost and her wounds were quickly healing.
