Chapter 130 - Perks

I stare at Little Bun for a minute before nodding my head and saying "No, I didn't know. How do you know?" Little Bun looks at me strangely and says "All cultivators have storage spaces... yours is just a little different. You have fox blood... so your space will be a little different. At least that's what I can tell by our contract."  

I nod my head taking in the information before asking him "So... what does it do?" Little Bun nearly falls over as he looks at his Master with conflicted feelings. His pretty master was worse than a child at times... how does she not know these things?

Little Bun looks at me and sits on his tiny butt as he says "You can store things there. Want to save a book for later? Just place it in your space. If you want it later, just pull it out. You can even store food but nothing living can go in there. Living things will die."  

I nod my head again as I say "That's actually petty cool. Why will living things die though?" I frown at him as Little Bun gives a tiny sigh while saying "Living things need air to breathe. Storage spaces don't have that." 

My frown deepens as I look at the odd stone and small puddle. Could I store some of this water? It's refreshing and tasty. It would be nice to have some on hand. I look back to Little Bun and ask "So, how do I place things in my space?"

Little Bun scratches his head and says "I don't really know... spirit beasts don't have storage spaces so my information on it is a little lacking." I look back at the water and try to focus. Maybe it's like using my powers? I look at the water and mentally tell it to my space.

Nothing happens so I swipe my hand over it while willing it into my space. Within a second, the odd rock and puddle were completely gone! I look over to Little Bun with large eyes but when I see his tiny mouth drop open in shock, I start to panic.

"I... I didn't want the whole thing! I just wanted some of the water!!" I say with growing panic. Little Bun snaps his mouth shut and says "Put it back!" I try to pull at the odd rock but it wouldn't budge! My panic rises as I fight with it but it was like the damn thing had grown roots!

"I can't... I can't put it back." I say in a soft voice. Little Bun binks at me and says "Maybe it's okay then?" I give him a strained smile as I say "Right... it's not like anyone will know that the peeing rock is missing..." Little Bun snickers but he suddenly freezes.

"Wait... I've never heard of anyone bringing in a spirit water source into their spaces. It shouldn't be possible..." Little Bun says scratching his little belly. Hmmm... I wonder if I can bring in other things as well? I quickly pull air to me as I begin filling the space. 

After a few minutes, I walk over to a tree and do the same. I then crouch down and put in a large patch of the ground. I look at the large hole and missing tree with a tinge of guilt but when I see how much nicer my space became, I instantly forget about it.

This is so cool!! I feel like I'm creating a new little world. My thoughts come to a screeching halt with my last train of thought. Creating a new little world... has this somehow carried over as well?? That's what I was in charge of... creating the worlds inside the games... 

Was it that, or was it because of sharing Zhen's blood? I bite my lip and decide to ask Zhen before jumping to any other conclusions. I turn around and scoop up Little Bun but after I take a few steps, I freeze. I can't leave the courtyard... I promised to stay here.

I can't cause any more trouble... I look down at Little Bun to see him watching me with large eyes. "Master, I'm hungry." I giggle at the tiny thing and decide to head back to the room. Having something to eat wouldn't be so bad.

As we both eat, I can't help but smile in satisfaction. My foundation was stabilizing even now as we sit and eat. At this rate, my foundation will be stable by tomorrow! Then I can continue cultivating! I look over to Little Bun stuffing his cute chubby cheeks with food and slip into my thoughts. 

"Bun, you said you got stronger with my blood and the water... do you need more blood to become stronger?" I ask with worry. Little Bun pauses and looks at me with confusion before shaking his head and saying "I guess I should have worded it differently. It wasn't really your blood that made me stronger. It was the connection you and I share now."

"As you grow stronger, so will I! Also, anything that has spiritual power or energy, I can eat and become stronger." I smile and nod my head as I silently vow to get this little cutie as many spiritual things he needs. 

I put my chopsticks down and watch him stuff his cheeks as I ask "What can you do?" Little Bun freezes and looks at me with large watery eyes as he says "I... I.. I can eat well!" I try to fight my smile but I was failing measurably. 

"Well, why don't you try something. I didn't know I could do things until I tried for myself." I say with a warm smile. Little Bun quickly chews all his food before looking at his pretty master. "Master is right. Bun will try to do... something!"

I want to scoop up his tiny little body and snuggle him close to my cheek but I restain myself as I nod my head and say "Good Luck!"
