"How's it doing?" Ling Ling asked.
"It's pretty good. It can eat and sleep well, but it's missing some Essence of the Moonlight. It's going to take years to gather the Essence of the Moonlight on its own, so the leaves of the Moon Mulberry Tree are the best solution," Yu Shishi led Lingling and Apas into the house.
After entering the house, Apas discovered that there was a large wooden bed in the room. It was surrounded on all sides like a baby's crib. There were some mini mulberry trees planted in the bed.
A translucent, moon-white silkworm was lying on one of the mulberry trees. Its round eyes were staring at Apas curiously.
"It's not afraid of me?" Apas exclaimed in surprise, staring at the tiny creature.
"Its level is higher than yours," Ling Ling said.
"What is it? It seems to be brimming with an ancient energy, but why is it so tiny? It's like a baby …" Apas reached out her hand, trying to touch the plump silkworm.
Yu Shishi was on alert. She did not stop the little silkworm when she realized it was not behaving strangely.
The person Ling Ling had brought with her would not harm the little Moon Moth Phoenix.
The Moon Moth Silkworm was actually the Moon Moth Phoenix. It had gone through a new reincarnation, meaning that it would turn into a silkworm before it evolved. Yu Shishi had been taking good care of it, hoping that it would grow and evolve into a real Moon Moth Phoenix soon!
"It's so itchy …" Apas giggled. The little silkworm had already climbed onto her palm. It seemed like it liked the place, too.
Little creatures like the Moon Silkworm that were brimming with energy were able to sense the danger of nature. As such, they would often be frightened when Apas stepped into an environment. To Apas' surprise, the Moon Silkworm was bold enough to climb onto her hand even though it could sense her Medusa's presence. Was it not afraid that she would suck all of its energy dry?
Apas soon discovered many other little green silkworms in the house apart from the little silkworm. Even though they were not as noble as the little silkworm, they were not ordinary creatures, either!
"Mm, I've liked raising silkworms since I was young. I would go to a village far away to pick mulberry leaves and observe their growth carefully, until the day they evolved into pupae …" Yu Shishi said with a smile.
"Do they grow quickly?" Apas asked.
There were many strange pupae in the desert, but most of them were ugly and violent when they grew up. They were nothing like the little moths! Apas still had the heart of a young girl. She preferred these clean and beautiful little elves!
"Very quickly, you can watch them grow from eggs the size of sand into little silkworms in just a day or two. Before that, you can use mulberry leaves as a bedsheet and let them sleep lazily on the leaves. They will nibble on the leaves when they are hungry and make soft noises … They are weak, but they grow quickly. You just need to give them a little wooden box and some mulberry leaves, and they will grow quickly even if you don't pay attention to them!"
"Do you know what's the most fascinating moment of raising these little creatures?" Yu Shishi asked when she saw how engrossed Apas was.
Apas quickly shook her head, as if she was really curious about it.
"They aren't very pretty when they are still silkworms. They only know how to sleep and eat every day, but once they evolve into pupae, they will transform completely. They will have wings and dance under the moonlight. They will linger around the trees, lakes, bushes, and rocks. The brighter the moonlight, the brighter they will be … If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have thought these beautiful Moonlit Fairies were once silkworms! "Yu Shishi said.
Apas was eager to try raising silkworms when she heard Yu Shishi describing the joy of raising them in person.
"Can I raise a few of them?" Apas asked.
"You can't raise little Moonlit Fairies, but you can choose from them. They want to be accompanied by their masters too … I always pick some innocent kids from Fanxue Mountain and let them adopt these little Moonlit Fairies. They are proud to have these little Moonlit Fairies," Yu Shishi said with a smile.
Fanxue Mountain was private property. There was a strict rule that forbade anyone from harming the blue moths and the Moonlit Fairies. It provided these little Moonlit Fairies with a safe environment.
Yu Shishi was not the only one protecting the little Moonlit Fairies. Many people who had adopted the little Moonlit Fairies were doing their best to protect them too. As such, Yu Shishi was more than willing to let them adopt a few Moonlit Fairies if they really liked the Moonlit Fairies.
The number of Moonlit Fairies had increased too. Yu Shishi was unable to take care of them all on her own.
"Can I choose them myself?" Apas asked.
"Of course, it's difficult to tell their lineage and talents before they evolve. Some Moonlit Fairies are extremely strong when they grow up!" Yu Shishi said.
…
Apas chose a few Moonlit Fairies that she liked and placed them in wooden boxes. She was as careful as a little girl who had just received a present.
"They might still be a little afraid of your presence, but don't worry, they will grow closer to you after feeding them for a few days," Yu Shishi said.
Yu Shishi stroked the Moonlit Fairies that Apas had adopted, trying to soothe their fear of Apas.
"Many people in Fanxue Mountain are raising Moonlit Fairies now," Ling Ling said.
"Yeah, if the Moonlit Fairies can grow and evolve smoothly, they will give birth to more Moonlit Fairies with outstanding lineages when they evolve. Fanxue Mountain's security level will rise again!" Yu Shishi agreed.
"Mm, I'm looking forward to seeing them evolve too," Ling Ling reached out her hand and stroked the tiny Moonlit Fairies.
…
Apas was overjoyed. She finally had a pet that she liked. She could watch them evolve day by day. She was looking forward to seeing them beating their wings and flying into the sky.
From the looks of it, Ling Ling wasn't that annoying after all. She had introduced him to a very special and interesting older sister.
"Remember to leave a hole in the box after covering them with mulberry leaves … I seriously doubt these precious Moonlit Fairies can survive more than three days in your hands," Ling Ling said calmly, glancing at Apas, who was grinning like a retard.
"Don't you worry, I'll make sure they live longer than you," Apas said.
"Humph!"
