The other Aberrations coveted that little red fragment, and Little Aberration was no exception. But compared to its hunger and desire, it was more worried about Xu Zhi, so it remained rational and did not fight the other Aberrations for it.
This also showed that Little Aberration had indeed grown much smarter after reaching level thirty. If this had happened before, it would probably have already become a runaway horse.
When it heard Xu Zhi tell it to eat the fragment it had been craving, its excitement nearly overflowed. The moment she finished speaking, it opened its mouth without hesitation, waiting for Xu Zhi to feed it.
Even with the situation so urgent, Xu Zhi could not help twitching the corner of her mouth.
This little thing...
Xu Zhi had also considered whether Little Aberration might have problems after eating the fragment, but she truly had no time to think that much. To hell with it—eat first, worry later.
The fragment that no one else could touch floated easily into Little Aberration's pitch-black "mouth" after passing through Xu Zhi's hand. Once she confirmed that her Familiar had successfully swallowed it, the sliver of rationality Xu Zhi had barely managed to summon was pulled away again. She no longer had the strength to pay attention to the outside world.
The fragment inside her, which had only just calmed down after splitting off and losing the [Cup], began to stir again.
Xu Zhi could not tell what the fragment was doing. It looked as though it were charging around aimlessly inside her body, trying to find a way out—or perhaps searching for something. In any case, it was far from settled.
This made Xu Zhi feel awful. The fragment carried scorching heat, as if it wanted to burn her organs to ash.
