"A vessel..."
Chi Xiao repeated the word calmly. She did not even ask Xu Le what kind of vessel he meant.
Clearly, she had already anticipated his idea of a vessel, or even knew about it very well.
"You know about this?"
"I've spent far more time in the Mother Tree Realm and in contact with the Mother Tree than you have. There's nothing strange about me knowing these things."
Since Chi Xiao had put it that way, Xu Le could only spread his hands.
"Does it worry you?"
"Worry me about what?"
"Being eroded by Ancient Yin Duo Energy, eventually becoming a vessel for some kind of rule and turning into a new Child of Guyinduo."
Faced with this question, Chi Xiao merely shook her head slightly.
"There's no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet. Rather than worrying about them, I might as well work hard to improve myself. If I become strong enough to handle everything, I won't need to worry."
"Hardcore!" Xu Le gave her a thumbs-up.
Chi Xiao actually had a point. If she could deal with the Children of Guyinduo herself, or even the Gundo Mother Tree...
Then there would be nothing to worry about.
Chi Xiao had been following that approach all along. Her strength might still fall short of the Children of Guyinduo.
But Xu Le felt she could already brush the hems of those beings' clothes.
"I wonder whether those Children of Guyinduo were once just ordinary humans like you and me."
Xu Le could not accept that remark from Chi Xiao. Ordinary humans?
You count as an ordinary human?
There's showing off, and then there's this.
"Ahem, perhaps they weren't human," Xu Le added.
He was not sure about the others, but at least three Children of Guyinduo
