The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 13 The Little Maid's Journey to Immortality 2

Seeing that the water level in the lotus pond had stopped rising, Caihua carefully stepped on the stones to approach the white lotus flower, trying to get a better look at the little person. But the little person rolled over and jumped into the water with a splash.

When Ayaka saw the little figure jump into the water and disappear, she glanced at the dark green bottom of the pool and abandoned the idea of ​​wading into the water to look for the little figure. She cupped her hands in water, brought them to her nose and smelled them. There was a very pleasant smell, like rice harvested in autumn.

Ayaka felt that this water was a treasure—because she felt warm all over as soon as she approached the lotus pond, and the coldness in the cave was dispelled.

"Two immortals, is this drinkable?" Out of caution, Ayaka still asked Lu Renkui and the system.

Lu Renkui was reading the original plot when she heard Caihua ask this question. She quickly turned to the description of the lotus pond in the original plot.

"The closer Jing'an got to the lotus pond, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. When he bent down to observe the pond, the words 'nectar' popped into his mind for some reason."

"Legend has it that the God of Wine brewed wine, and when he made too much, he poured the excess nectar into a place in the mortal realm for mortals to drink. Once, a great figure meditated and cultivated here. This great figure drank the water from the nectar pool every day and planted lotus flowers in the pool. Could this be the nectar pool? Jing'an thought, then knelt down and drank a mouthful of water. The water was very sweet. After only two sips, Jing'an felt that his spiritual power was already abundant, and he was faintly showing signs of breaking through—he had been stuck at the pre-Foundation Establishment stage before."

It seemed to be a good thing, so Lu Renkui told Caihua that she could use the water in the pool to splash her face and wash her hands. It was best not to drink it—after all, children shouldn't drink alcohol, and it was unknown whether too much spiritual energy would be beneficial to ordinary people in this world.

After listening to Lu Renkui's words, Caihua put her hand into the pool water and felt a power flowing through her body. Although Caihua was not a cultivator, she knew from listening to the conversations of the Wang family members and the students of the Wang Family Academy every day that this was likely spiritual energy flowing through her body.

While Caihua absorbed the spiritual energy from the pool water to improve her body, Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM continued to flip through the original plot, trying to find out the identity of the little person who came out of the lotus in the lotus pond. They found it after only flipping through two pages.

The little person who emerged from the lotus pond was a divine being transformed into a spirit, because the lotus had been soaking in this pool of celestial nectar for countless years. Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it transformed into a female form. Since the entire lotus pond was dug up by the male protagonist, Jing An, this lotus spirit recognized him as its master, becoming a powerful weapon on his path of cultivation, and also one of his harem members.

Lu Renkui asked the system WQBYRZM, "Is it okay to leave this lotus spirit here without any major problems?"

"Probably not. The plot describes her as innocent, naive, naive, kind, and adorable. She doesn't seem like she'd harm anyone," System WQBYRZM replied.

“Then let’s just leave it here,” Lu Renkui said.

The two were still discussing the upcoming plot developments. The main storyline had already completely collapsed, and they wondered what measures the other two transmigrators would take to complete this extra mission.

Halfway through their conversation, Ayaka's shrill, tearful scream drew their attention.

"What is that?! A snake, a snake! Don't bite me, don't bite me!"

Ayaka, somewhat frightened, pulled her hand out of the water, trying to remove the small, finger-thick white snake that was wrapped around her palm.

The snake seemed to sense Caihua's fear and quickly stopped crawling up her palm. It rubbed against Caihua's palm twice, then emitted a white light, transforming into the tiny figure that had been on the lotus flower's stamen.

After seeing the little snake turn into a tiny person, Ayaka felt a little relieved. Seeing that the tiny person was completely naked, Ayaka took out a large handkerchief from her body and wrapped the tiny person in it, leaving only the tiny person's head to look at her.

Lu Renkui and System WQBYRZM, through Ayaka's eyes, saw the obedient little figure wrapped in Ayaka's handkerchief and both fell into deep thought.

"So small? I remember the original text described her as an adult woman when she first appeared?" Lu Renkui exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the lotus spirit in front of her, which was probably no bigger than her palm.

"In the original story, the male protagonist only discovered this lotus spirit when he couldn't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Now that the lotus spirit has just been born, it's normal for it to be in child form." System WQBYRZM gave a reasonable explanation after its initial surprise.

Ayaka looked at the little figure; it was so cute that she wanted to take it out. However, taking a spirit born in such a place out might cause trouble. Thinking of this, Ayaka reluctantly put the little figure back into the pond.

Lotus Spirit understood Caihua's thoughts. She broke free from the handkerchief and tightly hugged Caihua's thumb, refusing to return to the pool water, seemingly determined to go with Caihua.
