Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Purple Sea of Flowers

  Ye Chen smiled as he looked at the small panda's painful expression, a single bamboo leaf could cause such pain? However, thinking back to those days when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all surged towards this bamboo pole, Ye Chen was certain that this bamboo leaf was not ordinary, it should be very precious.

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, and it didn't seem inappropriate to have such an adorable little bear cat as a pet. Although since the Great Calamity, humans and beasts had been at odds with each other, harboring great hatred, being able to raise a demonic beast as a pet was a very prestigious thing in high society.

  Ye Chen is not a member of the upper class, but that doesn't hinder his understanding of these things. Especially since he obtained the Beast Taming Technique, he has been particularly concerned with knowledge related to beast taming. That's how he knows that humans can still raise demonic beasts as pets.

  Having thought it through, I also accepted the request of Little Panda and picked up that bamboo leaf which made Little Panda feel sore. It was a piece of emerald green bamboo leaf, holding it in my hand gave me a cool feeling, making me feel exceptionally comfortable.

  The bamboo leaves look fragile and delicate, but when held in hand, it's a different feeling. Ye Chen was surprised to find that he couldn't tear it with his hands, of course, this is under the condition that Ye Chen didn't use his internal force. However, even without using internal force, Ye Chen's strength was not small, yet he still couldn't tear open this small piece of bamboo leaf, showing how tough and resilient it was.

  This is a treasure, Yexin's affirmative words in his heart, and then he saw that the broken part of the bamboo pole had grown another piece of bamboo leaves, Yexin was even more certain of his own thoughts, carefully preserving it.

  The most precious things in Ye Chen's hands were the Jīn Lián and those few books, as well as some dan medicine. The comfort brought by the bamboo leaves might be comparable to that of the Jīn Lián, so Ye Chen carefully preserved them.

  Ye Chen stuffed the bamboo leaves into a small box and put it in his bosom. Now Ye Chen's bosom was filled with quite a few things, fortunately those several books were not very thick, otherwise he could only carry them on his back.

  As the little panda left, the spiritual energy in the forest also slowly dissipated. Perhaps it won't be long before it becomes as thin as the surrounding spiritual energy and is no longer so dense and quiet.

  To say where this is, the little panda has no idea at all. As for the surrounding environment, the little panda is not very familiar with it either, so there's basically no way to help Ye Chen. Moreover, the little panda followed Ye Chen, not to guide him on the road.

  Ye Chen didn't know where he was, so he followed his own memories and feelings to walk. He roughly knew the direction of Jian Cheng, so he headed in that direction. On his shoulder sat a small black-and-white panda, and on the panda's shoulder stood a bright green bamboo pole.

  Perhaps Ye Chen's distance was a bit far, and for some reason, he didn't meet anyone after walking for two or three days. Instead, he encountered many dangers, with monsters roaming the deep mountains and dense forests, including various levels of monsters. Ye Chen's first-stage Primordial Realm strength was nothing to be reckoned with, and although he was extremely cautious along the way, he still suffered two attacks from fifth-level monsters.

  The fifth-grade demon beasts, Tianlang Beast and Huilian Beast, were both powerful demon beasts that could cast beast seals. Although Ye Chen's sword aura was sharp, he barely managed to escape in a sorry state. As for the little bear cat, it clung tightly to Ye Chen's clothes, hanging its head with a fearful expression.

  On this day, Ye Chen arrived at a flat ground, the ground was full of purple flowers, as far as the eye could see, the purple color filled the sky, it was very beautiful, like a huge flower field, but here were all purple flowers.

  Facing the eerie scene, Ye Chen has been careful in his treatment. The endless purple flowers along the way also made Ye Chen vigilant, wanting to watch and observe before deciding whether to pass through the flower cluster.

  But the little bear cat seemed to be in a joyful mood, and it jumped down from Ye Chen's shoulder and rushed straight into the purple flower cluster. "Momo!" Ye Chen shouted loudly when he saw the little bear cat rushing towards the flowers. As for the little bear cat's name, Ye Chen had been feeling that calling it "little bear cat" was not habitual these few days, so he gave it a new name. At that time, the little bear cat was not very satisfied and wanted to change its name. Ye Chen changed several names but none of them were satisfactory, finding it troublesome, and in the end still used this name.

  Seeing the little panda go in, Ye Chen, who had been getting along well with Little Panda Momo for the past few days, didn't want the little panda to take risks and hurriedly walked into this purple flower cluster. A wave of exotic fragrance hit his nose, making Ye Chen feel a bit dizzy.

  Yedu's internal energy circulated, expelling the strange fragrance from his body, and he finally came to. Yedu's face was filled with fear, earlier that short period of time, if a monster had attacked, he wouldn't have been able to dodge, it would have been certain death without even a burial place.

  What kind of flower is this? It can actually affect a strong practitioner in the Innate Realm? Ye Chen looked at the weak and fragile flower in front of him with a shocked expression, he didn't expect that this flower could put himself, an Innate Realm cultivator, at a disadvantage. Ye Chen couldn't help but be even more cautious.

  Where is Momo? Ye Chen lowered his head to search for the little panda, the flower cluster was very high, enough to cover the little panda's body. The little panda entered and disappeared without a trace. Ye Chen could only rely on his senses to search, starting from the direction where the little panda had rushed in before.

  This sea of flowers, although beautiful, is not what Yechen likes now. Now Yechen can't wait for this sea of flowers to disappear, and only a few inches of small grass would be good. However, such thinking is so unrealistic, so Yechen can only patiently search for the little panda Momo.

  Little bear ran wildly and bumped into the flowers, causing the place where it passed to shake violently, and also making Yexin's eyes shine brightly. It must be that MoMo was squeezed out while running! Yexin went in the direction of the shaking flowers.

  The little bear cat was very fast, even faster than Ye Chen. However, this sea of flowers seemed to have no end, and after a long time, they were still in the midst of it. "Mo Mo!" Ye Chen shouted.

  As Ye Chen's shout faded away, the flowers that were originally swaying suddenly stopped, and in an instant, they all became still, their purple hue making them look even more eerie. A bad premonition arose in Ye Chen's heart.

  Ye Chen went towards the last place where the purple flower shook, but didn't find any trace of Mo Mo. He then loudly shouted, and only heard a "whoosh" sound, as a black and white striped figure appeared on his body.

  The little bear cub held a bamboo stick in one paw and a purple stone in the other, and with an air of pride, he handed the purple stone to Ye Chen.

  "What is this thing?" Ye Chen saw the little panda inexplicably let out a sigh of relief, and then saw the little panda with a self-satisfied expression, feeling an urge to hit it, but forcibly restrained himself, picked up the purple stone, and asked in doubt, but didn't think that the little panda would answer.

  Although the little panda's intelligence was not weak, it couldn't speak, and Ye Chen didn't understand beast language either. So Ye Chen just thought he was talking to himself, looking at the purple stone in his hand, Ye Chen could feel a powerful force inside.

  This power wasn't overbearing, but rather gentle, much like the legendary Spirit Stone. Could it be that this was actually a Spirit Stone? But wasn't the Spirit Stone supposed to be white? Ye Chen thought to himself in confusion.
