Li Dai ate and drank her fill, then hugged the Little Milk Dog and lay down on the ground to look at the stars.
Uh...
Though tonight there didn't seem to be many stars, you could count them on the fingers of two hands.
The Little Milk Dog watched her look so engrossed that its mind began to wander.
Could those twinkling things be some kind of treasure? No wonder it thought so.
In the Cultivation World, whether among demon cultivators or human cultivators, what could attract them if not heavenly treasures!
"Woo-woo-woo..." What was that? If it really was some rare treasure, it wanted it too! Why hadn't it noticed before that treasures were hanging in the sky?
Li Dai stroked the restless Little Wangcai, her mind drifting somewhat: "Be good, don't make a fuss!"
Perhaps sensing her low spirits, it really did quiet down.
She just muttered to herself, saying things it didn't understand at all.
"The universe is so vast, the Milky Way is so huge, there are so many people on Earth. You tell me, why do those who don't want to transmigrate end up doing so, while those who want to don't?"
"Woo-woo-woo..." Whether you want to wear clothes or not, you have to wear them! This was the experiential wisdom a little companion who had once taken human form had told it.
It said that when they were beasts they didn't have to wear clothes, but when they were humans they had to, otherwise it would be scandalous!
Li Dai couldn't understand what her Wangcai was saying, but she could feel its response, and that was nice...
Ugh—and it was a good thing she didn't understand what it was saying, or she would have vomited blood from anger. Even a cow's head and a horse's mouth couldn't have had such vastly different trains of thought!
Of course, at this moment Li Dai's heart was warm and touched! This Wangcai was just like the one from her past, so considerate; whenever she was in a bad mood, it would nuzzle her to comfort her.
"Since there are stars here too, are two different worlds perhaps in the same parallel spacetime..."
If that really was the case, she wouldn't be greedy; she only hoped that one day she would attain boundless divine powers, enough to tear through the void and go back to take one look at her mother, just to fulfill this wish!
The Little Milk Dog narrowed its eyes upon hearing her latter words.
What two worlds? What parallel spacetime? It understood the literal meanings, but put together, they made no sense.
However, that seemed very important to Daidai, so the Little Milk Dog kept those words in mind, believing that one day it would understand!
Hmph—considering future roast meat, it had found a way, so it would reluctantly help her out.
Li Dai didn't know what the Little Milk Dog was thinking. Tonight she seemed very quiet, very silent!
Actually, she wasn't a sentimental person; on the contrary, she had been extremely optimistic from childhood to adulthood. It was just that the events of recent times were simply too fantastical, and she always had the feeling of being in a dream. Yet she clearly knew it wasn't a dream. Tonight, she would consider it a farewell to her past. She knew that to step onto the immortal path, one must not be too obsessed with anything; otherwise, forget about becoming an immortal—you'd most likely die in your inner demons. Since she had chosen to cultivate immortality, she wouldn't allow those past people or events to become her inner demons. As for whether she could go home, she could only temporarily hide that thread of yearning in her heart and let everything take its course. Forcing things was never good; she understood all this!
Having figured these things out, Li Dai felt her spiritual platform grow clear, and her consciousness sea churned and rolled.
Without even cultivating, she had actually experienced an epiphany! This truly shocked the Little Milk Dog.
"Woo-woo-woo..." Ying-ying-ying, Daidai is so amazing! Should we roast a rabbit to celebrate?
Li Dai still didn't understand what had happened to her. Although she didn't understand, she knew it was a good thing! With this epiphany, her thoughts naturally became a bit more transparent.
Lowering her head to look at the Little Milk Dog's sparkling little eyes, she couldn't help laughing: "You're happy for me too, right?"
"Woo-woo-woo..." Mm... mm...
The Little Milk Dog nodded repeatedly, its dark, glossy eyes filled with anticipation.
Naturally, Li Dai couldn't understand that it was anticipating eating meat; she thought it wanted her to praise it.
As for her own Wangcai, she was never stingy with her praise.
"You are truly super considerate and cuteness overload! I love you to death! Be good~"
With that, she placed it against her face and nounced it back and forth.
And the Little Milk Dog completely froze! Heavens, it had just been confessed to!
A beast that had lived for thousands of years, confessed to for the very first time. How bashful—its white, fluffy fur couldn't help but take on a pale pink tint.
"What's wrong? Burning up so badly, are you sick?" Sensing that her Wangcai's body temperature was higher than usual, Li Dai grew somewhat worried.
"Woo-woo-woo..." I am not running a fever at all! I am a dignified Holy Beast, how could I get sick like some fragile mortal chicken!
"Woo-woo-woo..." I am... I am...
Seeing the Little Milk Dog acting so abnormally, completely unaware that it was her unintentional remark that had caused trouble, Li Dai grew even more worried.
"Wait here, I'll take you to cool down!"
Then, while the Little Milk Dog was still immersed in the joy of being confessed to, it was abruptly tossed into the water.
It shivered with the cold! In an instant, any lingering romantic notions vanished completely.
"Woo-woo-woo..." Ying-ying-ying, too ruthless, its glass-like beastly heart was shattered into eight pieces in an instant.
The Little Milk Dog declared that it would never love again.
