The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

?(?ˉ???ˉ???)?"

The morning light shines through the crimson clouds, caressing every blade of grass and tree in the mountains. The creatures in the forest follow the slowly moving morning light, and the vitality is revived.

The morning light climbed up the clouds, where two beautiful girls sat, a cute panda cub, and a little squirrel poked its head out from a few pine and cypress trees.

Hua Chao specially brought Maomao to the Qunyunpan this morning. The little guy slept very soundly last night and was not very noisy.

Perhaps it was because the bamboo house that Lingmi had woven for it made it feel safe, so after eating and drinking, it was put in and it slept until the early morning. If Xiaowo hadn't called it, it might still be sleeping in now.

Hua Chao continued to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body. After several attempts, he felt that there was still no change. It seemed that the "Nine-Ring Spirit Stone" was still unable to control it.

I gave up my spiritual power, but the "Nine-Ring Spirit Stone" did not give up my mortal body. There is nothing to force, just let nature take its course.

Just know that it is there, and let it choose when it wants to merge with its new body.

Hua Chao took a deep breath, breathing the morning sunshine deeply into her lungs, letting it continue to move deeper and deeper.

The entire chest cavity is slowly filled with the smell of sunshine, and then continues to sink, allowing the morning light to enter the belly.

Gradually, his entire abdomen swelled, allowing the masculine energy of the rising sun to fill every cell in his body.

Hold your breath and let the great power in your body flow and gather in your dantian.

Lean your mouth slightly and open it to slowly let out the breath that has turned into foul air.

Let the turbid air gradually exit from the Dantian, force out all the turbid air in the body, empty yourself and let the last trace of turbid air exit the body.

It repeats itself over and over again, and I hold my breath and calm down again and again.

When the mind and body are united and there is not a single distracting thought, you are the only one left in the whole world.

Hua Chao slowly opened his eyes, regulated his breathing, and calmed his mind.

When I turned around, I saw Ling Mi teasing Xiao Wo. It seemed that she had stopped playing with Xiao Wo a long time ago.

When I looked again, little Maomao was still like a little child, sitting quietly and meditating.

Hua Chao felt like laughing when she saw Xiao Maomao. He wanted to cross his short legs but couldn't. They could only hang half on the edge of the cliff, swaying gently.

The chubby body looked like it had some difficulty sitting up. He sat up naturally with his bear back stretched out, and his chubby little white butt firmly controlled the body that wanted to shake.

The pair of little paws imitated Hua Chao's movements very well. The hands were folded and placed naturally in front of the body, with the tips of the bear paws facing each other, as if touching but not really.

Its obsidian pupils can't be seen through a pair of large black circles around its eyes.

Hua Chao stopped smiling, it seemed that the little guy was really meditating.

"Hehe... Could this be a giant panda that wants to practice? Judging from its posture and demeanor, it seems that I can't compete with it. Could it be that I have a real iron-eating beast?"

When this thought came to her mind, Hua Chao was also shocked. What on earth was going on? How could her little Maomao be such a terrifying ancient beast?

It is such a cute and soft little creature. It is just imitating itself. It is so smart that it can imitate anything.

Seeing the little guy's serious look, Hua Chao couldn't bear to disturb him, so he got up and walked to the pine tree.

"Maomao really looks like that. Just looking at his cute and chubby back makes me want to laugh." Ling Mi laughed in a low voice.

"Maybe it just thinks this is fun. Maybe it has fallen asleep now. Let's not disturb it and let it rest for a while!"

As he was speaking, he heard Maomao humming softly behind him.

"嘤嘤......"

Hua Chao was just about to turn around when there was another sound of falling.

"Bang..."

Hua Chao was so scared that he turned around hastily. When he looked again, he saw Xiao Maomao lying on his back, rolling on the edge of the cliff, unable to get up.

"Hahaha……"

The two couldn't help it and ran to Maomao laughing.

Lingmi ran over first, picked up Maomao and helped him brush the dust off his body.

"Ouch! You are so chubby that you can't even sit steadily. Why are you trying to imitate your sister Hua Chao and sit like that? Look at the little nest. Wouldn't it be better for you to play with it under the tree?"

Hua Chao caressed Maomao's big head lovingly.

"Okay! Stop talking about it. It's a good kid, a hardworking panda, and an ambitious panda, right, little Maomao!"

"Haha! Sister, just spoil it! I think there's nothing bad about little Maomao in your eyes!"

"Of course, Maomao is my sweetheart!"

"Woo..."

Ling Mi shuddered.

"Sister, when did you become so cheesy? Why did your voice become so cheesy? I want to leave. I won't listen to you and Maomao talking anymore. I can't stand it!"

Lingmi took small steps, picked up the backpack and trotted into the cave.

Xiao Wo chased closely behind her, but failed to jump into her backpack.

"Haha... Maomao! Is your sister Lingmi jealous?"

…………

On the river in Shelong Village, Hua Chao and Ling Mi were sitting on a boat. This was the village ferry. Today they wanted to take a look at the other side of the river.

I want to see what interesting things are happening over there and find out about Yang Shilin's whereabouts.

The mountain that Xiaowo pointed out to Hua Chao a few days ago is just across the river. Even if there is only a little hope, we should give it a try.

Sitting on the wobbly boat, Hua Chao curiously reached out her hand to touch the river water, letting the water flow through her fingers.

It’s a long-lost feeling. I really want to turn over and jump into the river and swim happily.

But now that I am a mortal, I would sink if I entered the water. How could I play freely in the water like before?

Hua Chao's eyes were slightly sore, her vision was blurred, and a line of clear tears flowed down, dripping into the river.

Hua Chao raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Looking at the water plants and small fish swimming in the river, she really envied them for being so happy and free.

Suddenly, Hua Chao saw something flashing in front of his eyes. It seemed that something was floating on the water. At a glance, Hua Chao knew that it must be some aquatic creature entangled in water plants.

If we don't save it, it will be swallowed by the water plants in no time.

Hua Chao hurriedly called out: "Boatman, please stop!"

When the boatman heard Hua Chao calling him, he stopped the boat in a hurry.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

"There's something moving over there, I want to go check it out."

After hearing that, Ling Mi stopped playing with Xiao Wo and looked in the direction Hua Chao pointed.

"Hey! ... There's something moving. Boatman, let's go take a look!"

"Oh... okay!" The boatman shook his head helplessly. Although the boat was his, the two beautiful ladies had spent a lot of money today. There was no reason for him to disobey his employer.

The old boatman had no choice but to row the boat and gently move the boat closer to the direction Hua Chao had pointed.
