Chapter 203: Becoming Stronger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Ling had planned to rush back to the rock mountain as soon as possible, but Huanhuan was too weak for him to fly with her. The lack of oxygen and strong wind at high altitudes would hurt her body.
He found a large tree nearby and built a small cabin on it. He planned to rest here for a few days and return after Huanhuan recovered from her injuries.
There wasn’t much room in the house, just enough for two people to move around. The floor was covered in a thick animal hide blanket, and there was a small brazier in the corner.
Xue Ling even specially hung some flowers on the wall as decorations.
However, after taking a look, he felt that the flowers were not good-looking. He pulled them off and threw them aside. Then, he plucked a few fiery feathers from his body and arranged them into a beautiful flame shape. He hung them on the wall for decoration.!!
His feathers were indeed the most beautiful!
Huanhuan lay on the blanket with a pillow made of leaves behind her.
The lotus leaned in front of her and rubbed the back of her hand affectionately. “Mom~”
Ever since this little flower entered the Sea of Illusions, it had fallen into a dormant state. Now, it was finally alive.
Huanhuan touched the pink bud. “Be good~”
Xue Ling turned around and saw her interaction with the lotus. He felt at home.
This was a small nest he had built himself. The three of them lived here together.
In order to prevent Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye from worrying, Huanhuan wrote that she had been saved by Xue Ling on the stone slab and placed it in the shared ring space.
She received a quick reply from Bai Di.
He asked Huanhuan where she was.
Huanhuan didn’t know where she was. She asked Xue Ling, “Where are we?”
Instead of answering, Xue Ling asked, “Why are you asking this?”
Huanhuan waved the slab in her hand. “Bai Di wants to take me back.”
Xue Ling said, “Tell him there’s no hurry. I’ll take you back when you’ve recovered.”
It was a rare opportunity for him to be alone with the little female. He wasn’t going to send her back so soon.
He had to confirm his status first before going back.
He didn’t want to work for nothing!
Huanhuan didn’t think too much about it. She conveyed Xue Ling’s message to Bai Di.
Bai Di must have guessed what Xue Ling was thinking. After receiving Huanhuan’s message, he didn’t urge them to go home. Instead, he reminded her to take care of herself. Everyone missed her.
Huanhuan missed them too.
She really wanted to go back!
Huanhuan touched the wound on her chest. The system was blocking the pain. She couldn’t feel it now, but the wound was healing very slowly. Even if she took medicine, it wouldn’t do much.
Not only that, but because she had soaked in seawater during her period, her period was especially turbulent this time. She had been experiencing stomach cramps all day.
Fortunately, the system helped block the pain so that she wouldn’t be tortured by menstrual cramps.
Xue Ling lived every day in the smell of blood mixed with sweetness. His body became especially hot, and he felt especially uncomfortable.
If not for the fact that the little female was injured, he would have pressed her down and had sex with her!
This feeling of needing release but not being able to do it was too tormenting!
Huanhuan naturally noticed his abnormality.
To be honest, she was even more nervous than Xue Ling.
She clamped her legs together every day and wrapped herself tightly in a blanket. She kept her eyes on Xue Ling’s every move, afraid that he would suddenly lose control and go wild.
Perhaps it was because Xue Ling looked so miserable that Huanhuan couldn’t help but pity him.
She suggested carefully, “Why don’t you go out and find a place to settle it with your hands?”
Xue Ling stared at her fair face, and his voice became hoarse and low. “Do you think I haven’t tried? It’s useless. I can’t find release.”
Huanhuan sympathized with him even more. “But it’s not a good idea to keep holding it in. What if you damage your body?”
“What else can I do? Are you going to help me resolve this?”
Huanhuan quickly refused. “No, no. I can’t do that sort of thing. You’d better find someone else!”
She paused, then remembered something and quickly said, “Don’t you have a sweetheart? You can ask her for help! Anyway, you have wings. Even if she lives far away, it shouldn’t take long for you to fly over.”
Xue Ling’s thin lips curled into a terrifying smile. “If you don’t want to help me resolve this, shut up!”
“But—”
“If you say another word, I’ll do you now!”
Huanhuan was so frightened that she shut her mouth and did not dare to make another sound.
In the end, Xue Ling couldn’t take it anymore and flew out with a burning desire.
Huanhuan guessed that he had gone outside to find a place to vent.
She stayed in the house alone. She was bored, so she called the system out.
“Didn’t you say that I can become stronger after awakening the Divine Wood seed? Tell me, how am I stronger now?”
System 438 asked with a smile, “Don’t you think your skin has become smoother?”
Huanhuan touched her face and felt it carefully. “It seems to have become smoother… No! Why do I want my skin to become smoother? I want to become stronger!”
“Appearance is a woman’s most powerful weapon. If you look prettier, doesn’t that mean you’re stronger?”
Huanhuan: “…”
‘Here, stick your face over here.
‘I promise I won’t punch you!’
The system said, “In the future, you’ll become more and more beautiful and tempting. How awesome is that?”
Huanhuan gritted her teeth and asked, “Don’t tell me that the only use of the Divine Wood seed is to make me look better?!”
If that was the case, she would drag the system out of her mind and beat it up!
The system said, “There are many benefits. It can help you heal wounds faster, it’ll give you the ability to communicate with plants, and it’ll let you make a master-servant contract with plants. In the future, if the divine tree blooms, you can even have an immortal body.”
Huanhuan pointed to the wound on her chest. “I don’t see any signs of rapid healing.”
“The prerequisite for rapid healing is that you have to have the ability to communicate with plants. The plants have to offer a portion of their vitality to help you heal.”
Huanhuan asked, “Then how can I communicate with plants?”
“How would I know? I’m just a system without a physical body.”
Huanhuan: “…”
At this moment, she especially wanted to kill the system!
She cried angrily, “You liar! Give me back my 10,000 points!”
The system said, “Don’t be agitated. Although I don’t know how you can communicate with plants, others do.”
Huanhuan had great distrust for it now.
“Nonsense! Let’s see how you can fool me again!”
The system said, “I’m your father. My heart aches for you. Why would I fool you?!”
