Chapter 27: Little Cai Lin, Suck It Up!

Wu Tian's efforts turned out to be quite tragic. Medusa, no should be called Little Cai Lin though she had opened her small mouth to take in his finger, the little critter simply wouldn't suck.

"Little Cai Lin, come on, suck it! It's tasty, suck it up! You'll grow after you suck!" Wu Tian spoke gently to Little Cai Lin.

However, Little Cai Lin just held Wu Tian's finger in her mouth and shook her little head at him.

"Little Cai Lin, you think it's too little?" Wu Tian blinked and then extended another finger, "How about two fingers now? That should be enough, right?"

Little Cai Lin blinked her cute and confused big eyes and shook her head firmly, seemingly rejecting Wu Tian's offer. It was as if she was saying, "My owner seems a bit dumb, I can barely handle one, and you give me two?! That's deadly!"

Little Cai Lin's rejection made Wu Tian feel quite frustrated. As a colorful devouring python, shouldn't she love the energy from celestial fire?

Why won't she suck? Is it because the energy from the Qing Lian Earth Heart Fire is too violent and strong for her right now?

Is it because the essence of my celestial fire is too intense, so Medusa doesn't dare to absorb it?

Or is it because there's only so much essence in my celestial fire, and if she sucks it, my body will become weaker? So maybe Medusa's subconscious is stopping her from sucking?

There could only be these two reasons: My body is formed from celestial fire, and if it weakens, some parts might become frail and insubstantial.

It would be okay if it's just the fingers weakening, but if other 'precious parts' weaken, then I, the mighty Guardian Spirit, would really have to resort to cross dressing, or become a prominent figure in men's clothing.

Wu Tian felt his mood reverting to the time Medusa told him he was inadequate. Indeed, he still isn't enough. Medusa is waiting for his energy, and yet his essence isn't sufficient.

Regardless of the reason, Little Cai Lin isn't absorbing my celestial fire essence now. It seems I need to find some milder energy source, but where can I find such celestial fire energy?

Ah, I've got it!

A brilliant idea struck Wu Tian; he remembered a magical item he found while searching for the Qing Lian Earth Heart Fire a treasure known as the Earth Core Lotus Seed.

The energy of this lotus seed is slightly less intense than his own, so maybe Little Cai Lin could handle it!

With this thought, the ring on his finger shone, and he pulled out a delicate little jade bottle containing the Earth Core Lotus Seed.

As Wu Tian tipped the bottle, a richly glowing green lotus seed appeared in his palm.

Curiously pinching the somewhat soft lotus seed it was the first time he was handling it since Medusa had retrieved it previously Wu Tian felt its intriguing softness, which could turn slightly hard when pressed a bit harder.

It's amazing how this soft, tender, and delicate little thing contained such immense energy. And to think it needs a hundred years to form is just terrifying.

Wu Tian playfully thought, being a body formed from celestial fire, if he also matures for a hundred years, would he produce a lotus seed? Well, that's something only the next century will reveal.

With a sigh of admiration, he looked at the Earth Core Lotus Seed between his fingers and said to the little creature beside him, "Little Cai Lin, this is a lotus seed born from celestial fire, also known as the essence of the fire spirit. It has another name, but you can drop the first two characters and reverse the last two to get it! Right, that's the name.

Okay, you don't understand shaking your head, no big deal, as long as someone understands.

I'm telling you there's strong energy in here, not as strong as mine, but still potent. So, would you like to absorb this essence of the fire spirit?"

Little Cai Lin, again bewildered by Wu Tian's words, cocked her tiny head and blinked her big eyes at the Earth Core Lotus Seed in Wu Tian's hand, then shook her head and nodded.

This time, it was Wu Tian's turn to be confused. What does that mean? Should I eat it first and then share it with her? But once it enters my body, the lotus seed will assimilate with my celestial fire energy, rendering it useless. It seems she needs to absorb the Earth Core Lotus Seed herself.

"Alright then! If you feel confident, go ahead and eat it, but remember, don't overdo it, suck it up!"

Little Cai Lin flicked her tiny tongue, nodded, and opened her tiny white mouth to nibble on Wu Tian's palm, then took the Earth Core Lotus Seed into her mouth.

As the essence of the fire spirit, the lotus seed was potent. Upon contact, Little Cai Lin's small body suddenly turned bright red like a volcano, and white steam rose from her tiny frame, appearing quite alarming.

Just having the lotus seed in her mouth caused such a reaction; one could only imagine what direct absorption of Wu Tian's celestial fire energy might do would she turn from a little colorful snake into a little black snake?

As Little Cai Lin swallowed the lotus seed, the intense and fiery energy burst forth, causing her body to begin transitioning from red to black.

Seeing Little Cai Lin struggle, Wu Tian quickly took out another treasure from his ring, the Qing Lian Platform.

He placed the scorching Little Cai Lin on the platform, and her body's color slowly eased from turning black.

However, she continued to writhe in pain on the platform, and distressingly twisted into the platform's seed holes!

Helpless as her tiny colorful devouring python body was still too small, just a few centimeters long, even though she was greatly stimulated, she couldn't grow or stretch long enough to avoid falling into those holes.

And endlessly, she kept falling into one hole after another there were eleven holes on the platform! From one seed hole to the next, even Wu Tian had to admit it was impressive.
