Grown Up 10 Years

Su Xiaolu could feel that all her meridians had become stronger. A water ball had appeared in her sea of consciousness, and her spiritual ball had become much stronger.

This fruit was good stuff. Su Xiaolu immediately plucked another one. The fruit would soften in her hand. This could not be stored. Su Xiaolu’s wish to bring the Heavenly Treasure back and share it with her family had failed.

She entered the Space. In the Space, the fruit continued to soften. Su Xiaolu was afraid that it would break, so she quickly left the Space and picked up the sleeping Mantis Shrimp from the ground.

She opened Mantis Shrimp’s mouth and stuffed the Heavenly Treasure fruit into it.

!!

In his sleep, the Mantis Shrimp felt as if it had swallowed a pool of spiritual spring water, waking him up.

He opened his eyes and saw Su Xiaolu gently feeding him the divine fruit. Mantis Shrimp was extremely touched.

“Xiaolu, have you eaten?”

Mantis Shrimp asked obediently.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “I ate one. I’m so full now.”

“Xiaolu, thank you.”

Mantis Shrimp rubbed against Su Xiaolu’s palm. He knew that he had not chosen the wrong person. He did not tell Su Xiaolu that in order to help Su Xiaolu, he had used his Connate ability. After that, he would be very weak and ordinary people could kill him.

If Su Xiaolu did not give him a Heavenly Treasure like this, it would be very difficult for him to grow up.

Su Xiaolu had given it to him personally when he was unconscious.

Su Xiaolu touched Mantis Shrimp’s head and smiled without saying anything.

The Mantis Shrimp began to grow up. In front of Su Xiaolu, it doubled in size.

If Mantis Shrimp was a dog, then the current him would be the coolest dog in the world. He had long limbs, a perfect waist, and black fur that shone under the light.

“This fruit can’t be stored. After plucking it, you have to eat it quickly. What a pity.”

Su Xiaolu told Mantis Shrimp that there were still ten more on the tree. She wouldn’t be able to eat any more after eating one. She was too full.

“Heavenly Treasures are all like this. Let’s stay here and leave after eating.”

Mantis Shrimp looked up and said.

She could continue eating when she was hungry.

In any case, there was abundant spiritual energy here and it was a good place to cultivate. Su Xiaolu could cultivate while she was not eating fruits.

Su Xiaolu nodded. She had the same intention.

She closed her eyes and sat on the ground to expirate spiritual energy to cultivate.

Mantis Shrimp entered the Space to eat the Interface Stone.

Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and did not notice the passing of time.

When she felt hungry, she woke up. She got up and moved around before releasing Mantis Shrimp from the Space.

Mantis Shrimp looked at Su Xiaolu and said in surprise, “Xiaolu, you’ve grown up.”

Only then did Su Xiaolu realize that her clothes were shorter.

How could she grow up after cultivating?

Su Xiaolu didn’t think too much about it. She asked Mantis Shrimp, “Are you hungry?”

Mantis Shrimp nodded in embarrassment. “A little.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Then let’s eat it.”

The Mantis Shrimp approached the fruit, but it shrank back. Under Su Xiaolu’s watch, a big blister swelled up in the Mantis Shrimp’s mouth.

“Xiaolu, it’s so hot—”

Mantis Shrimp felt a little aggrieved. He also realized that he couldn’t pick the Heavenly Treasure Fruit.

Su Xiaolu was a little surprised, but she went to pick it. Since there was nothing wrong, she gave it to Mantis Shrimp.

“Eat it. I’ll pick it for you.”

Su Xiaolu let Mantis Shrimp eat it. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t pluck it, as long as she could.

After eating the fruits together, Su Xiaolu was once again washed away by a powerful force.

She burped comfortably and contentedly.

Mantis Shrimp burped too.

They continued to cultivate.

When Su Xiaolu woke up the third time, the Mantis Shrimp was still unconscious. He had eaten half of the interface stone in the Space.

Su Xiaolu had no choice but to eat first.

This repeated until they finished all the fruits on the tree.

Su Xiaolu ate a total of nine, and Mantis Shrimp ate three.

When she first grew up, she thought that it was because she had eaten fruits, but every time she woke up to eat fruits, her clothes would be shorter. Moreover, her chest had also grown. Su Xiaolu realized that what increased was her age.

She did not know how much time had passed in here, but she was certain that she had passed her teenage years.

After eating the last fruit, she cultivated for a while before setting off to return.

Her clothes were short, so she simply let go of her sleeves.

She had looked at herself in the water curtain. She was very beautiful. When she pursed her lips and did not smile, she was a cool beauty.

The water-element mark on her heart had already turned blue, as if a surging sea was stored inside.

Ever since she lost consciousness near the Heavenly Treasure, she had no concept of time. The desert was as hot as ever, so the weather was difficult to distinguish.

...

However, no matter how hot it was outside, Su Xiaolu felt refreshed.

She began to hurry because she wanted to get out. She wanted to know how much time had passed. She wanted to go home.

Mantis Shrimp woke up and wanted to leave the Space.

After leaving the Space and accompanying Su Xiaolu for two days, Mantis Shrimp suddenly asked shyly, “Xiaolu, I can take human form now.”

Su Xiaolu immediately looked expectant. “Then are you willing to do it? I really want to see what you look like.”

The current Mantis Shrimp could be compared to an ox. It was strong, mighty, and domineering. Its eyes were golden, and it looked at people as if it could captivate them.

Since he could take human form, Su Xiaolu preferred him as a human.

Mantis Shrimp had said that he could do it previously, but he didn’t like it.

Su Xiaolu did not know if he had changed his mind now. She was looking forward to it.

Mantis Shrimp looked at Su Xiaolu and slowly transformed into a young man in black under Su Xiaolu’s gaze. The young man was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His pupils were golden.

He smiled at Su Xiaolu, revealing his cute white teeth. He actually had canine teeth.

...

“Xiaolu.”

Mantis Shrimp was a little embarrassed. He was happy and a little shy when Su Xiaolu looked at him like that.

“It’s a little different from what I thought. If you take human form, I can’t call you Mantis Shrimp. I’ll give you a new name.” Su Xiaolu thought that Mantis Shrimp’s face should be dark, but he was also very fair, handsome, and super good-looking. If she called him Mantis Shrimp, it would make people laugh.

“Sure, I want my surname to be Su too. Give me a name.”

Mantis Shrimp agreed happily. He liked to be with Su Xiaolu, so he naturally wanted to have the same surname as her.

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Then I’ll call you Su Kuo. Kuo means vastness. You’ve inherited so many things and were destined to be extraordinary. What do you think of this name?”

Su Kuo. Mantis Shrimp read it for a moment and nodded with a smile. “Okay, my name is Su Kuo.”

“Little Kuo, how many years do you think we’ve been inside?” Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo and asked. She looked melancholic. “I feel like it’s been many years. Father and Mother must miss me very much. I want to go home too.”
