"Did you finish?" Di Tian said looking down at Bai. "When will you be able to purify Myriad?"
Bai closed his palm, the flame-like aura disappearing completely "I am a little tired now. But there won't be any problem with doing it tomorrow. It would be far easier now that I am more familiar with it"
Tian nodded "You can take this room as yours. I will come to find you tomorrow. Meanwhile, as a repayment, you're free to roam around the fortress but evade going to Lingling's area" He said before leaving.
Now that he was alone, Bai finally observed the room that it seemed to have become his. Like all in the fortress, the walls and ceiling were formed by vines and trunks. The ground was formed by soft green grass. The room had two chairs and a table made from wood and a comfy bed made by what it seemed to be leaves "Plants spirit had it easy to make constructions" Bai smiled to himself.
"It's not so easy" From the ground a red and violet petalled rose sprouted, from it leaving Mei "It requires a lot of control and strength, followed by a gigantic and continuous source of vitality" Mei puffed her chest "It's only because of the incredible combination of Mei and Lili's power. That Greeneye is unnecessary."
"I'm glad that you're like always" Bai chuckled "It seems that growing didn't change you."
"Don't laugh at Mei, Bai!" Mei puffed her cheeks "Mei didn't grow is only a weakening. When Mei recover Mei will return to my usual and beautiful form. Mei hates being like this."
"I don't think that it looks bad on you. It's simply a more adult figure, you are beautiful" Bai said smirking.
Mei glanced at Bai with a death glare "Bai!" However, she quickly calmed down. She looked down and shily said "Sorry, Bai"
"I already said that there's no need. I even obtained benefits helping you, like this room"
"Mei could have killed you all. Mei's vision turned red and voices were whispering Mei to kill you" Mei said with a sad tone "If Mei wasn't stopped by Greeneye, Mei would have lashed with all the others, even destroying the base. Truly thanks for stopping Mei even risking your life"
Bai approached Mei. Then, he flickered his finger over Mei's forehead "Ouch!" complained Mei putting her hands over her forehead, it was more an instinct act as in this avatar she wouldn't be able to feel pain "What are you doing, brat?!"
"This is more like Mei" Bai smiled "A Mei that don't complain is not a real Mei, only try to not use the force" This gained Bai another death glare.
"I see that you're getting along" Lingling's avatar had appeared from the wall "I'm glad."
"Like Hell, Mei could get alone with a filthy human. Hum!" Mei looked away.
From the door, a yellow light flashed, Chenxiang appearing over Bai. She launched towards Bai hugging him "I was so worried that anything could have happened, Bai" She leaned her head over Bai's chest with some tears in her eyes.
Bai smiled at her with a lovingly look. He lifted her chin and kissed her.
"Tock! Tock!" Tang San and Xiao Wu knocked at the door that was already opened "Maybe we bother. Do you want some intimacy?"
Bai broke the kiss, keeping Chenxiang in his arms "I doubt that it's possible in this place" He said turning towards Mei and Lingling. This caused the at the room except the two to laugh.
"You're not wrong, but it's for security" Lingling tried to explain only for more laughs to come.
"Now that you are all here. Mei wants to also apologize to you" Mei interrupted seriously "Sorry for the outbursting, lashing towards all of you" Mei bowed a little.
"You were controlled, so no problem at all. It wasn't you" Xiao Wu said swinging her hand like if it didn't matter at all. The others making similar answers.
"Now that I think why did you get angry?" Bai asked "I know that it was for the ants' aura but there should be something that upset you."
"Oh, that?" Mei said her tone becoming a bit angrier "It was mostly due to him!" She glanced at Tang San "As I already knew youe relationshio with the ant, Bai"
"What have I done that can upset you?" Tang San asked confused.
"It's not your actions. It's Ah Yin, I can sense your resembled with her. What is your relation with her?"
"She is my mother" Tang San answered "What did she wrong you?"
"She is a traitor" Mei said "She was part of the Flowery Garden but run away. You know how difficult to cultivate grass is?" She said angrily "I put a lot of effort and resources to make her grow as for us flower spirits the grass under us is extremely important." She even became more furious "But when she reached 100.000 years and was time to repay the community, she decided to reincarnate as a human and run away! All the resources wasted!" Mayi complained.
Tang San was shocked by the news. He hadn't communicated much with her mother, not growing with her, so he never knew about her origins before becoming human. Listening to Mei's story, it was normal for her to be angry at his mother. It might have some hidden reasons behind, but for Mei, it was clearly treason.
Tang San kneeled on the ground facing Mei "I apologize for my mother. And I would receive any punishment that you considered fair in her name."
"Mei already attacked you with the intention to kill you, there's no need for more" Mei said coldly. "Anyway, I'm not a flower that will push the blames of parents to their sons. You had never done anything bad to Mei, so sorry for before." Then she looked at Tang San's eyes and made a sad smile "I'm glad that at least she found happiness away from us, even having a child".
Tears started filling Tang San's eyes, even he didn't know why "Could I at least help in anything?"
Mei made a thoughtful look while looking up and down at Tang San "You are also a Blue-Silver Grass Emperor. You can help to grow and making stronger the grass from Lingling's place."
"It will be my honor!" Tang San finally stood up.
"I will inform Tian and the other beasts and plans to let you enter. Don't worry about" Mei stopped for a second and her face turned a little red and asked shily "Could you explain some stories about sis Yin?" Mei eyes open widely realized what she called Ah Yin "Nothing of sis, ignore it. Mei's only a little curious about her, Mei's not worried at all." she tried badly to justify gaining a chuckle from everyone "Don't laugh?!" She shouted puffing her cheeks.
"I don't know much about mother, but I will explain it all" Tang San smiled "Would you explain stories about her with you?"
Mei crossed her arms "If there no other option"
Tang San smiled and left the room.
Mei was about to disappear but she seemed to realize something as she turned towards Chenxiang and Bai "I will be glad if you would also help us, Light" She said referring to Chenxiang "Your light will be helpful for our growth, much better than the normal sun. I will also give you permission to enter Lingling's place" She started sinking in the ground "For you Bai, Mei already obtained your intent, there's no need for you to help so don't came" Mei looked away "But I won't complain if you want to talk with Mei." She said before disappearing underground
"We are all tired, I will let you alone" Lingling winked at Bai and Chenxiang before disappearing leaving them alone.
Chenxiang looked at Bai and charged at him kissing him, her tongue invading his mouth, both falling to the bed. She broke the kiss and looked at Bai's eyes "Will you find it strange if I say that knowing that we could be seen makes me a little horny?" she said with a completely red face, very embarrassed.
"It would only make you more special" Bai answered kissing her "I love you, with all of you. Moreover" Bai then whispered at her ear "I found it sexy" Chenxiang became redder kissing him again.
That night some moans could be heard from Bai's room while at Lingling's place, Lingling couldn't sleep that night, her face completely red.
