CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 409: THE SECRET BEHIND THE GUARDIAN BEAST

"I have one more question, and if you answer it correctly, I’ll let you live here," Wang Cai said, knowing that he couldn’t get any useful information from the Tentacle Monster.

"Go ahead." Hearing that he could live here, the Tentacle Monster’s face immediately showed a joyful smile, and its many small eyes widened into two heart shapes.

"Are you male or female?" Wang Cai asked resolutely.

"Pfft!" Mu Can, who was anxiously recovering his Spiritual Power, almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard Wang Cai’s question, wondering why he had been talking for so long only to end up here.

"I am female, not female in the sense you mean," the Tentacle Monster shouted aggressively, waving its small tentacles. As its body shrank, its tentacles also became as thin as hair, hanging there like hair.

"So, you are female, oh no, female," Wang Cai grinned, no one knowing what he was laughing at.

"This dog, can’t be just a dumb dog, right? Has it never seen a female dog? Why is it smiling foolishly at an octopus?" Mu Can was puzzled, having known Wang Cai for some time and never seen him in such a state before.

"From now on, you will be ranked fifth here. I’m the boss, Panda Xiao Fúqì is second, Big Bird Xiao Hóng is third, and that silly Treant is fourth. There’s also a Housekeeper in this world, who usually hides somewhere and doesn’t need to be bothered," Wang Cai thought and then said.

"Wang Cai Uncle, I’m not dumb. I’m just a bit slow," the Treant said, looking unhappy upon hearing Wang Cai scold him. Although he was quite afraid of this Uncle Wang Cai, he still spoke up.

"Alright, alright, just go and cool off," Wang Cai waved his hand, signaling everyone to go about their business, and he too prepared to leave the Reincarnation Pearl. There were five more Heavenly Pillars like this outside to conquer. Later, he planned to pull all the Guardian Beasts inside to the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer to collectively build this New World. Just the thought of it was thrilling.

"Ah? So what should I do?" Now it was the Tentacle Monster’s turn to be perplexed. How come his experiences after entering here were nothing like he imagined? Not only was there no torment, but he even joined a group. Although he didn’t mind living here, he should at least understand what was happening.

"Just do whatever, you can’t leave here anyway. For now, just find a small lake to soak in. We’ll need your strength for building this world later," Wang Cai instructed.

Initially, Wang Cai wasn’t sure how to deal with the Tentacle Monster. In the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer’s new world, there were no other creatures, and now that an octopus was pulled in, Wang Cai couldn’t bear to just kill it. Moreover, those who could enter the Reincarnation Pearl were definitely trusted by Mu Can, and the Tentacle Monster certainly wasn’t among them. Thinking this, he couldn’t kill but also couldn’t release. It was better to let it live here.

"Done?" Mu Can looked at Wang Cai with a playful gaze, watching him until Wang Cai felt uneasy and then diverted his gaze.

"Yeah, I just thought of something," Wang Cai said.

"Tell me."

"How about we pack up all these Heavenly Pillars and take them with us? Do you know why I wanted to keep this Tentacle Monster?" Wang Cai asked mysteriously.

"Yeah, isn’t it because the Tentacle Monster is female?" Mu Can looked as though he saw through Wang Cai’s intentions. All of Wang Cai’s little tricks were under his control.

"Woof! Do I look like that kind of person? I wouldn’t be moved even if it were a beautiful female fox spirit," Wang Cai approached Mu Can and bit him, then asked frustratedly.

"You are exactly that person. Tell me, did you decide not to mind even when she sprayed that stinky juice on you after you knew the Tentacle Monster was female?" Mu Can, bitten by Wang Cai, unusually didn’t get angry but calmly shook off the crease in his clothing caused by the bite and spoke slowly.

"Woof! I was initially going to kill it, but then I thought of something. It has nothing to do with whether it’s female or not, hehe, if you beg me, I’ll tell you why," Wang Cai suddenly grinned smugly, making Mu Can want to punch him right on his dog head.

But after thinking about it, Mu Can restrained his impulse. Wang Cai’s head was so hard that a punch might hurt his own hand without affecting Wang Cai at all.

"Beg me, if you beg me, I’ll tell you. I’ll remind you, it’s regarding the development of your new world," Wang Cai looked all smug.

"No," Mu Can shook his head, no longer looking at Wang Cai, he directly sat down cross-legged, starting to recover his depleted Ice and Fire Attribute Spiritual Power lost during the fight with the Tentacle Monster.

"Aren’t you curious, not even a bit?" Wang Cai still appeared all knowing.

"No," this time Mu Can closed his eyes as well.

"Woof! Damn, you’re ruthless, just open your eyes, and I’ll tell you," seeing Mu Can ignoring him, Wang Cai immediately became anxious.

Mu Can was no longer the same Mu Can, so Wang Cai rarely had the opportunity to act as a teacher in front of Mu Can anymore. Finally, he found something to show off about, so he definitely couldn’t miss this chance.

Unfortunately, no matter how Wang Cai tried to tempt Mu Can, Mu Can remained unmoved, completely ignoring him.

"What should I do, this lad is growing too fast. At this rate, my status isn’t guaranteed," Wang Cai murmured as he paced back and forth next to Mu Can.

Mu Can chuckled inwardly but still didn’t respond to Wang Cai.

Wang Cai’s worries were baseless as far as Mu Can was concerned. Even if Mu Can grew rapidly, Wang Cai remained his most important partner, indispensable.

"Alright, just tell me what you discovered," Mu Can said without opening his eyes, knowing that Wang Cai was pacing around him, feeling that his Spiritual Power was almost fully restored.

"Alright." Seeing Mu Can interacting with him, Wang Cai immediately sat down in front of Mu Can.

It turns out that Wang Cai discovered something on the Tentacle Monster. Each Guardian Beast sealed within the Heavenly Pillars had a special characteristic, one that could accelerate the growth of the new world in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer.

Like the characteristic of the Tentacle Monster, it could speed up the condensation of Water Attribute Spiritual Power in the new world and even spawn life in the oceans of the new world.

"Accelerate world evolution?" Mu Can grew interested, the world within the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer being closely linked to his power. The more developed the world, the more stable Mu Can’s power would rise.
