Chapter 7 - Can or cannot

Little White kept spitting fireballs at the entrance of the cave.

The fireball instantly ignited the branches and leaves Wen Meng used to block the entrance of the cave.

And spread towards the plants growing on the cave walls.

The wind blew into the cave, scattering sparks that fell onto the white shirt Wen Meng had taken off

Burning out one black hole after another.

It won't be long before this place turns into a sea of fire.

Xiaobai wanted to stop, but the fireball had already been swallowed and surged back up to his throat.

It let out a painful, suffocated sound.

"What's going on?!"

The sudden change caught Wen Meng somewhat off guard.

[Chalk had just awakened his abilities and couldn't control them yet.]

[Go and comfort him.]

"What should we do?"

[Put your hand on its head, let it calm down]

Wen Meng did as she was told.

She felt a stream of icy breath flow from her palm into Little White's body.

Xiao Bai quickly calmed down and stopped spitting fire.

However, the situation inside the cave didn't seem very promising.

Burning leaves were continuously stripped from the branches by the flames, slanting in.

Like a shower of meteors.

"Hiss hiss hiss!!!" Little Black was extremely furious.

A few fiery leaves fell where it had walked.

The flames burning also made the land scorching hot.

The temperature inside the cave was rising rapidly.

Hot feet.

Wen Meng quickly packed up the items and put them into her portable storage.

Taking advantage of the fire not having spread yet, she prepared to rush out with Little Black and Little White to find another place to settle down.

Just as she moved the spinning wheel, she felt the earth tremble.

Something was surging wildly beneath the ground.

The burning leaves on the soil turned over, their blue flames enveloped by the glistening beads seeping from the earth.

The blue flame extinguished the moment it touched the orb

There were no flickers of flame, and the leaves no longer rustled.

Water?

Wen Meng stood up, and within the soil of the cave, a layer of transparent substance emerged.

Just like the puddles that accumulate on rainy days, always flooding over Wen Meng's heels.

The groundwater emerged.

They devoured the fallen Mars in its entirety, and only after the temperature inside dropped did they slowly recede.

Is everything okay?

Wen Meng was puzzled.

Where is Little Black?

Above the head.

Xiao Hei, having exhausted his supernatural abilities, could no longer hold on

His eyes rolled back, and he fell directly from the top of the cave onto Wen Meng.

Wen Meng instinctively caught it and discovered that Little Black had fainted.

This is the result of overextending too much mental energy.

An adult anaconda can easily control mountains and great lakes, causing floods to submerge cities.

But Little Black is still in its infancy, and its powers are not that strong yet.

Even just mobilizing the groundwater in this cave area to put out the fire left it exhausted.

However, it managed to get it done after all.

Saved the newly established small family of three.

"Thank you for your hard work, baby."

Wen Meng was deeply moved, holding Xiao Hei in her arms and gently caressing him.

Little Black actually woke up immediately.

The speed was so fast that one couldn't help but wonder if it had been pretending to be weak before

The reason Xiao Hei was able to recover so quickly,

Of course, it was because of Wen Meng's comfort.

She could not only restore the spiritual power of the disaster beasts but also suppress the frenzy in their hearts.

Xiao Bai stared intently at Xiao Hei in Wen Meng's arms.

It feels like it's pretending, but there's no evidence.

However, considering the big trouble it caused just now, it was already quite good that Wen Meng didn't blame it

It also did not dare to express dissatisfaction or seek favor at this time.

Xiao Hei rubbed his head against Wen Meng, wanting to be even closer to her.

Suddenly, he saw the wolf's eyes emit a greenish glow, directed at him.

This is the green light of jealousy.

Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side. So, you have your day too?

Little Black was overjoyed.

The seductive wolf was in a panic.

Xiaobai felt a pang of sorrow in his heart,

That embrace has always been my place.

She loved hugging herself the most, it could feel it.

Xiao Bai's current size is like that of a small puppy, always able to evoke endless tenderness from Wen Meng.

That stinky snake was long and thin, hugging it was no different from hugging a mop.

Xiaobai thought, today was the first time he felt flames surging within his body

I ate too much just now and couldn't control myself for a moment.

This will never happen again!

It felt as if the flame had merged with its own body,

Practice a few more times, and you'll be able to control it effortlessly!

Under Wen Meng's soothing care, Xiao Hei fully regained his energy

Not only that, its water-based abilities also improved.

The ability level increased from level 1 to level 2.

The controllable water area has been further expanded.

To know exactly how big it is, you have to put it into practice.

Wen Meng felt a furry head resting against her ankle.

Looking down, it was Little White.

Xiao Bai's eyes were filled with grievance, looking pitiful, with its tail drooping.

Like a puppy that has done something wrong, begging its owner for forgiveness.

Wen Meng sighed. Her supernatural ability had suddenly awakened, and it just so happened to be in a cave.

It wasn't that it wanted to do this.

If outside..

It's even worse outside.

Setting fire to the mountain, you'll rot in prison.

Wen Meng suddenly envisioned a scene of a great fire spreading across the mountains.

In the forest, life breathes, roars and shouts, and wherever it reaches, it returns to oblivion.

The human world is nothing more than a purgatory.

She remembered, it seemed to be mentioned in the book,

The largest imperial forest park on the Emperor Star once experienced a once-in-a-century wildfire.

The female protagonist Wen Xin and the male protagonist Huo Xiao developed a deep bond while rescuing people from a mountain fire.

Could that wildfire be related to a disaster beast like the Chalk?

Without thinking too much, Wen Meng squatted down,

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Wen Meng was referring to the fact that Xiao Bai had just awakened his superpower.

The house was almost completely burned down.

"Hiss—?" (Huh? You're a bit biased, Mom.)

The elbow has bent all the way to outer space.

Under Xiao Hei's disdainful gaze.

Xiao Bai felt even more aggrieved and took two steps forward, its nose touching Wen Meng's knee.

Rubbing with an adorable little wolf face.

The seductive wolf is at it again.

And Wen Meng was like the deluded and foolish king

"I could tell at a glance that it wasn't his fault."

The black anaconda was already used to it.

Forget it.

Burning it a few more times doesn't matter,

It is the guardian spirit of my mother.

With it there, the flames could not reach Mom.

Water overcomes fire, an unchanging law of nature.

This guy's superpower was completely restrained by it.

Your brother will always be your brother!

Little Black, with his nostrils flaring at Little White, strutted arrogantly.

The little chalk-white face sidled to the other side,

Just one eye could see the high, coiled black anaconda.

What are you so proud of?

Xiaobai gritted its teeth; it had its own trump card.

It's too early to say that now!

The turmoil of the great fire burning down the house had passed.

Wen Meng helped clean up the mess

She found a branch outside that had been struck by lightning to use as a broom

Use the wilted leaves from above, which had withered due to lack of water, to sweep out the remaining ashes from the hole.

Fortunately, the flames did not reach the trunks of those three trees.

Only left charred marks on some of the snowflakes.

This is inevitable because it has grown so lush!

Wen Meng watched the black snowflakes curl up into a ball, burning in the fire.

Isn't this just black dye!

Sure enough, after picking those black snowflakes and putting them into the spinning machine, I clicked on manufacture.

Wen Meng received a pair of fluffy black slippers.

The regeneration speed of the snow fluffs is very fast, and they don't need any fertilization at all.

These three trees only need water and sunlight to grow.

Just now, Little Black had manipulated the underground water to surface, allowing the three plants to drink their fill.

No need to water for a short period.

Wen Meng looked at her straw bed and the bare cave.

It's time to decorate their little home!

One by one, the household textiles were spat out,

The loom clattered on without pause, working from daylight into the night.

It can not only be used to make clothes, but making quilts and blankets is actually simpler

It just needs more snowflakes.

Wen Meng drew a blanket and set the material to have a velvety texture.

The finished blanket feels very much like coral fleece.

She spread the blanket on the meadow and then lay down.

The long-lost sense of satisfaction instantly filled her heart.

It was as if she had returned to the bed in her dormitory.

Then she made a plush quilt and pillows.

To have good sleep is to have a healthy body.

Wen Meng always believed in this principle.

This body was almost exactly like her own, the only difference being that the original owner's body seemed softer.

The firmness of the muscles is related to regular exercise.

However, with her current level of physical activity, if she continues living here for a while longer,

Her figure would eventually become exactly like her own..

One day passed quickly.

Wen Meng lay down on the simple little bed covered with coral fleece

The flashlight hung around the tree,

Wen Meng discovered that it had a voice control function, allowing her to adjust the brightness and direction without getting out of bed.

Adjust the brightness to the gentle mode for night reading.

Cover yourself with a soft, fragrant blanket, then place the laptop on your lap.

This truly is the most relaxing moment of the day.

Before going to bed, let's take a look at the study course.

If she ever had the chance to return to the Imperial Star, she still wanted to fulfill her dream of going to college.

After all, she had worked hard for three years to get into a prestigious university that would bring honor to her family

In the end, before the school term even started, I washed my face in the morning and found myself transported into the book, feeling a tinge of regret in my heart.

Wen Meng is currently self-studying the senior year curriculum of Emperor Star High School.

Little Black came up from behind and gently wrapped around her neck

She also poked her little head out, curiously looking at the computer screen.

Wen Meng had long been accustomed to Xiao Hei's presence, but Xiao Bai's movements when getting into bed were a bit loud.

It suddenly leaped up, its little paws reaching forward, step by step approaching Wen Meng.

I want to sleep together.

Its gaze was clear and resolute.

The first night, it was rejected by Wen Meng and curled up alone at the entrance of the cave

After a night of cold wind, the bitterness in my heart was unbearable.

However, it was all self-inflicted.

Today, it mustered up its courage once again.

"Woo woo ah—" (I want to sleep in your arms.)

It softly cooed twice at Wen Meng.

The round eyes did not blink.

Even if it is rejected again, it does not regret it

No matter what, I have to give it a try!

Wen Meng sensed its meaning,

The body moved inward a bit, creating some space, and patted the spot below the left arm with a hand.

Receiving approval, Little White's excitement was beyond words.

"Come on."

Lying down in Wen Meng's arms, close to her warm and soft body.

So comfortable!

Xiao Bai's heart bubbled with happiness.

Seeing Wen Meng completely absorbed in watching that glowing screen, Xiao Bai curiously looked over as well.

The growth rate of the disaster beast accelerated once more.

Wen Meng was tired of studying and discovered that there were actually some movies to watch on the computer.

Most of them are love stories, only the setting has been changed to the Star Realm.

This helps her to better understand the world.

In terms of the plot, it was just as melodramatic as the place she used to live.

It seems that it's the same everywhere.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After watching for two hours, she felt a bit tired and yawned.

Getting ready for bed.

But then he found that the two little disaster beasts were both stunned.

It wasn't until she closed the computer that she seemed to come to her senses.

Could it be that they were also watching TV with me just now?

Wen Meng felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Suddenly, Little Black opened his mouth and uttered a syllable.

"Ma, ma—"

Wen Meng felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"What did you say?"

"Mama."

When Xiao Hei recited the second tone, his pronunciation became much clearer.

It had grown accustomed to the pronunciation techniques of humans.

Living long enough to see this, even snakes have started talking!?

And disaster beasts are inherently intelligent creatures, so it is not surprising that they can learn human languages.

Wen Meng immediately turned to look at Xiao Bai.

"You... you can't do it either, can you?"

To be honest, she was a little excited in her heart.

Xiao Bai can do it, of course it can.

It had learned long ago.

And he prided himself on having an intelligence far superior to that of the big black snake!

But unfortunately, that call for "Mama" had already been preempted by the stinky snake

No matter how sweetly it spoke, Wen Meng would never feel the initial sense of surprise again.

So, it deliberately took a detour.

Wen Meng called it Little White, where "Little" probably meant cute.

The little white wolf opened its mouth,

Shouted at Wen Meng—

"Stepmom."
