Ye Xiao was very confused at this time. This little creature was really very strange.
He again tore off a piece of meat from the roasted bird but this time he didn't threw it near the strange creature. He kept holding the piece of meat and signalled at the strange creature to come near him and eat it.
That strange creature again seemed to hesitate. But then again it started to move forward slowly as if it was afraid that Ye Xiao will attack him. When the strange creature reached near his hand it suddenly pounced at the meat piece, grabbed it and ran back to where it was standing before.
Ye Xiao was again startled by this action of the strange creature.
Although this was very a very small creature and it looked very week too and maybe it was also a new born baby but it has a very high intelligence.
After eating that piece of meat, it again looked at the roasted bird. Ye Xiao again tore another piece of meat, held it in his hand and signalled that creature to come and it. That creature again came near him, pounced at the meat piece and ran back.
This cycle continued over and over again until there was only last small piece of roasted bird was left. This time that strange creature didn't went back. It slowly ate the last piece of meat near Ye Xiao and after eating it again looked at other bird's corpse and then moved its gaze to look at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed bitterly and said, "Although your body is very small, your appetite is not small at all. It will take some time to roast them. Wait patiently."
"Chii chii!"
After hearing what Ye Xiao said, that strange creature looked at the body of remaining birds and tried to say something.
Ye Xiao didn't understand what it was trying to tell him so he again said, "I already told you to wait. It will take some time to roast them. If you can eat raw then go and eat it."
And only one breath later, Ye Xiao's mouth could be seen wide open. He again witnessed a miracle.
When Ye Xiao told the strange creature to eat the body of bird's raw if it can. At the next moment, the strange creature's both hand seemed to convert into two vine and it began to move toward the body of two birds. That vine then wrapped the two body. And just after that those two body transformed into dried up corpses. Only the outer skin and bones left.
Seeing this how can Ye Xiao will not be surprised. This was too much of a coincidence.
"This..... how can this be?"
"Isn't this the power of devouring?"
"This little creature also has the power of devouring. I can't believe it."
Ye Xiao was first startle for a moment and then exclaimed loudly.
He again looked at the strange creature and found no change in it. He sighed a little and then again as if he thought of something, his eyes shone a bright light as he looked at the strange creature.
"Little fellow, do want to follow me? Come with me. You'll get to eat and devour as much as you want." Ye Xiao thought of what will happen if this creature also devoured many other powerful beings and creature. Didn't it mean it also had unlimited potential of growth. He immediately made a decision to let this strange creature follow him and then they will kill and devour together.
What kind of life that would be?
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature thought for a while and then nodded its head.
Ye Xiao was overjoyed when the strange creature agreed to follow him.
"Tomorrow, we will kill some more creatures but those will be no ordinary creature but magical beasts. We will hunt second rank magical beast tomorrow. You can devour all of them. I don't need these low rank magical beast after all. Come here, I will take you to a magical place. You will definitely like that place."
That strange creature nodded its head and then walked forward. Its hand was still converted into vines. Those vines moved toward Ye Xiao's waist and wrapped it and then with its help it moved upward and landed on Ye Xiao's shoulder.
When it's vine wrapped around Ye Xiao's waist, he was first startled. Fearing that this creature will try to devour him. He wanted to shook it off but then realised that it was not the case.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
After that creature landed on Ye Xiao's shoulder, it looked at him. It looked like this creature was ready to go the magical place that Ye Xiao talked about.
Seeing this Ye Xiao also nodded his head and with a woosh sound he vanished from the cave.
_The world inside the Heavenly Pearl._
At the middle of the beautiful grassland, a figure appeared out of nowhere. On the shoulder of that figure was another figure. But this figure was very small.
Ye Xiao looked around him and then asked to the strange creature, "How is it? Isn't it a beautiful place?"
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature cried out in excitement as it looked at a certain direction.
Ye Xiao followed its gaze and found out that it was looking at the direction of forest. Ye Xiao didn't find it strange after all this little creature was related to the trees and forest.
That strange creature wanted to run toward the forest but Ye Xiao caught it and said, "Where are you going? We have to go back tomorrow so that we can hunt more second rank magical beasts. So don't go anywhere for now and stay here."
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature's face was filled with anxiousness at first as it wanted to go into the forest as soon as possible but after it heard what Ye Xiao said, it hesitated a little and finally calmed down with a disappointed face. It lazily jumped from his shoulder and walked toward the beautiful flowers which was blooming in the grassland.
It then sit down on the ground near a beautiful flower with a disappointed face and suddenly as if it smelled something special, it jumped up in excitement. That strange creature hurriedly held the flower near it and smelled the fragrance of flower and started jumping. It continued to do this type of action for a while.
Ye Xiao walked near the strange creature and said, "I knew it you will definitely like this place. Now let me give you a name."
That strange creature suddenly became silent as if it was waiting for Ye Xiao to give it a name.
"How about Little Yellow?" Ye Xiao thought for a while and said.
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature cried in dissatisfaction.
"Oh! you don't like this name. Then how about tree human?"
"Chii chii!"
That strange creature sook its head in disagreement.
"Then human tree?"
"Chii chii!"
"Yellow tree?"
"Chii chii!"
"Yellow vine monster?"
"Chii chii!"
"Then I'll call you little yellow and it is final." Ye Xiao said and after hearing it that strange creature again showed its dissatisfaction but Ye Xiao ignored it.
Seeing that Ye Xiao was not responding to it, it slammed both of its small foot to the ground in anger and then again sat down near the flower, admiring its beauty.
Ye Xiao also walked toward the Jade Lotus. When he went there his mouth again become wide opened.
He planted a single Jade Lotus here but now there was ten of them. And all of them were of fourth rank medicinal herb.
He never thought that not only this grassland has the ability to evolve the medicinal herbs, it also had the ability to multiply it.
It's only been six days since he planted the third rank Jade Lotus here and now after six days there were ten of them and all of them were of fourth rank. It was really very difficult to understand.
After staring at those Jade Lotuses, Ye Xiao entered into the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and started meditating.
In the world of Heavenly Pearl, there was no sun and moon. So night also never descend here but mysteriously there was always light here as if a sun was above one's head.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes as he thought that it was about time to return. He exited the Nine Story Pagoda and came to the Grassland. Here, he searched for Little Yellow and was surprised to find that Little Yellow was currently sleeping on top of the flower and strangely it never fell down from it. And four or five flowers were surrounded it from four sides like a guard.
Ye Xiao went toward it. He extended his hand toward Little Yellow to wake it up but just as its hand was about to touch the Little Yellow, four thorns was thrown toward his hand from the four flowers at lightning speed.
