"It's actually rolling them around?"
The Myna bird stared in shock.
Fang Chen was astonished too. At that moment, he felt as though the Heaven Mending Goddess truly had a mind of her own.
He called to her again. "Senior? Senior? Miss? Miss?"
But the Heaven Mending Goddess ignored him.
Fang Chen frowned slightly and fixed his eyes on the Black Stone in her hand. He sensed a subtle connection forming between them, much like the connection he shared with his Life-Bound Treasure, though this one was still faint.
"How strange!"
Fang Chen could not help muttering.
"What is it?"
Seeing the puzzlement on Fang Chen's face, the Myna bird could not help asking.
"I can feel a subtle connection between me and the Black Stone now," Fang Chen said at once.
"A connection?"
The Myna bird looked at Fang Chen in surprise.
Fang Chen nodded slightly, watching the Heaven Mending Goddess roll the Black Stone around in her hand. He could feel his connection to it growing stronger. "Yes. The connection keeps getting stronger!"
The Myna bird's eyes lit up. "That's good news! Try lifting the Black Stone and see if you can move it."
"Lift it?"
Fang Chen frowned, then nodded. "I'll give it a try."
With that, Fang Chen approached the Heaven Mending Goddess. Until now, he had only summoned her Manifestation for Artifact Crafting, Alchemy, or battle. He had never imagined it could show signs of life, but the way she was behaving now made him wonder whether she truly possessed a mind of her own.
Fang Chen had never thought to approach the Heaven Mending Goddess before. As he drew closer, he felt his spiritual perception growing sharper. With it, his connection to the Black Stone strengthened as well.
Rustle, rustle...
