When Little Kali was thrown into this world through the spatial door, Granny’s voice sounded in Shi Xiaobai’s head. She was probably using some sort of psychic communication to briefly inform him about Little Kali.
“Youth, because of you, the pixie queen, Heermann, has decided to confine her daughter for a year. You previously mentioned that you wished for Little Kali to experience a carefree childhood during her time with the pixies, but little do you know that she was never happy among the pixies. Perhaps living in this lush and idyllic environment in the Flower Leaf Pocket World is a better choice for her.
“You do not need to worry about her safety in this world. My will provides her with absolute protection. You also do not need to be responsible for her daily life. As the successor of the World, she needs to have the qualifications needed to inherit this power. She will be tasked with the heavy responsibility of cultivating. Although this child is only six, she’s intelligent and sensible. She will not add to your troubles.
“Cultivate according to your plan. There’s no need to change your plan because of Little Kali. Priority has to be given to changing Fate’s script. Everything else can be left aside.
“However, I wish that both of you do not need to experience the loneliness of fighting alone. Both of you shoulder different missions, but all of them lead to the same goal. I wish that both of you can be companions to one another, and accompany each other on this road of growth.”
“You can call for me at any time. I will satisfy any request that doesn’t garner the attention of Fate.”
Granny probably had her reasons for making such an arrangement despite the risk of messing up Shi Xiaobai’s plans.
Although Shi Xiaobai did not know what the reasons were, he was filled with gratefulness.
He obviously didn’t feel that Little Kali’s appearance here would be a burden on his plans. Nor did he think of this unexpected change as unnecessary trouble.
This was because when he was at his weakest point, the Kali from ten thousand years into the future told him—”You are not weak. You are stronger than anyone.”
“Huaman Brother, have you also been confined?”
The little girl’s eyes had some hints of expectation, but also some hints of worry; she looked like a weak, pitiful, and helpless bunny.
She was only a six-year-old child. No matter how sensible she was, to think that she would live in an unfamiliar world separate from the outside world for such a long period of time would no doubt make her feel fear.
Therefore, she was somewhat delighted when she saw the youth. This was because she was apparently not alone, but on second thought, he was also being confined. That was not something worth being happy about.
The kind Little Kali was placed in a dilemma of whether she should be happy or sad.
“Confined? There’s probably no one in this world that can confine This King.”
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said, “This King is here for travel. Apparently, this world has many fun places, so This King plans on having a great time enjoying them! There are many fun places!”
Little Kali’s eyes lit up slightly. “Are there really many fun places in this world?”
Only then did Little Kali turn her head to survey her surroundings. At a glance, she saw lush vegetation, and the beautiful natural sights imprinted into her eyes. The rich floral fragrance overwhelmed her nose as pleasant chirping lingered around her ears.
Ah, she loved forests the most!
As she was being “confined,” she subconsciously imagined that it would be a boring, bland, and cold world. But when the youth said that there were many fun places in this world they were in, the little girl once again saw the burst of vibrant colors.
“That’s right. This world has many, many, many fun places. This King had come to the pixie forest to enter this world. Now, This King’s wish has finally been fulfilled.”
Shi Xiaobai told a white lie and said with a smile, “However, traveling alone can be a little boring. Little Kali, are you interested in being This King’s companion?”
“Alright! Alright!”
Little Kali clapped her tiny hands in excitement. She had never gone ‘traveling,’ so the term seemed unfamiliar, but it was such a beautiful word.
But…
Little Kali seemed to think of something as her excited looks faded. She drooped her tiny head and said softly, “That won’t do. I’m not here to play. Granny said that if I want to protect Mother and the pixies, I need to become stronger. I need to cultivate well during my confinement. That was what Granny told me. I can’t just think about playing.”
Little Kali held her head down, trying her best to fight off her thoughts of having fun. She didn’t wish to let down Granny’s expectations or disappoint her mother.
“What a coincidence.”
Shi Xiaobai smiled and said, “This King is burdened with the mission to save the world. This King needs to become stronger as well, but cultivation and traveling aren’t at conflict with each other. Cultivation is the path to enhancing one’s strength, while traveling involves proceeding forward down a path while taking in the rich sights and sounds of the path’s surroundings. While growing on this journey and traversing the world, one can become stronger. That is a part of cultivation.”
“Is… that really so?”
Little Kali pouted her tiny lips and racked her brains. Shi Xiaobai’s words were just too difficult to understand.
Shi Xiaobai said gently, “Traveling and cultivation can be done in parallel. While having fun, one can understand the truth behind cultivation. While cultivation, one can understand the joy of having fun. Cultivation shouldn’t be painful, but joyous. Cultivation shouldn’t be boring, but interesting. This is what This King thinks is the best form of cultivation. Little Kali, do you want to give it a try?”
Cultivation and traveling can be done in parallel?
Little Kali’s childlike mind was suddenly infused with many concepts. She wasn’t sure if such an idea was correct, but she could not help but believe the youth from the sincere and confident look in his eyes.
“Yes…”
To a six-year-old Kali, if boring and bland cultivation could be as interesting as having fun, it would be like a dream.
The youth gradually reached out his right hand. “Then, let’s set off!”
“Yea!”
The little girl reached out her tiny hand to hold the youth’s right hand. Her blue eyes gradually lit up as they shimmered like stars.
The loneliness and fear she received from the thought of being confined no longer existed at that very moment. In replacement, there was excitement and anticipation.
Shi Xiaobai looked down at the little girl’s innocent smile and felt a baffling sense of ease.
He did not know if this world had anything fun, nor did he know if it was possible to have a method combining traveling and cultivation together.
It was the best if it existed, but if not, he would create it himself!
