Su Xiaobai's sharp gaze swept over the scene, lingering on the beasts before shifting to the golden trunk of the colossal tree. His tone was calm but wary as he murmured, "Drugged, maybe. Or just overwhelmed by the spiritual energy."
Xiao Hei tugged at his wrist again, eyes gleaming like burning coals. There was something playful in her expression, but it carried a knowing edge—mischievous, as if to say, 'Returning the spiritual water I took to hatch, with interest, no less. Let's see if this helps you form your Core.'

Su Xiaobai's lips curled into a faint smirk as his thoughts began to spiral into a fictional story of his own. The scene before him—the glowing tree, Xiao Hei's insistent tugging, the spiritual energy thick enough to choke a demonic beast—was just too perfect.
