A night passed. Taiyang rose, and sunlight spread across the Great Wilderness, driving away the darkness that had shrouded it.
Little Nonpoint slept soundly with a dog in his arms.
Make no mistake: Meng Chuan had tossed Little Nonpoint aside long ago. The boy was not sleeping in Meng Chuan's arms.
The dog really was Stone Village's Big Yellow Dog.
When Taiyang's rays touched Little Nonpoint, he woke.
Eyes still closed, the little fellow stretched.
That stretch shoved Big Yellow Dog far away.
It woke Big Yellow Dog, who gazed at Little Nonpoint with aggrieved eyes.
Last night you insisted on grabbing me. Now that you've slept with me, you've pushed me away.
"Huh? Why am I sleeping outside?" Little Nonpoint rubbed his eyes, sat up, and looked around.
Everyone was still immersed in cultivation.
"Chief Grandpa looks younger again. Uncle Lin Hu and Uncle Flying Flood Dragon have entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and Sister Leopard and Aunt Tiger have reached the Blood Moving Realm too."
Little Nonpoint sensed their auras, his little face brimming with smiles.
With cultivation, everyone's health would keep improving. They would not fall ill and would always be strong and fit.
Nothing like Bei Village stealing their prey and bullying the villagers would ever happen again.
No one could bully them.
And with cultivation, everyone would live longer and could stay with him longer!
Everyone was doing better and better. He was so happy.
If only Stone Village could become as powerful as the Heaven Mending Pavilion someday.
Little Nonpoint savored the thought. With Willow God as their Sacrificial Spirit, if everyone grew strong, Stone Village would surely surpass even the Heaven Mending Pavilion!
Then everyone could live somewhere good, safe and sound.
Little Nonpoint only wanted everyone in the village to stay with him
