However, they were quite clever and did not drool on Luo Bingbing.
Luo Bingbing also understood that they wanted to eat the fruit in her hand, so she gave them two pieces and let them go outside the cave to find a place to enjoy the fruit separately.
Because Luo Bingbing knew this...
Its feathers were very colorful, all bright red, and the feathers on its tail were particularly long, comparable to its body.
It stood quietly there, its head nestled under its wings, eyes closed, seemingly in a deep sleep, yet to awaken.
Luo Bingbing quietly approached it, but upon getting closer, she couldn't help but be stunned and thought, "How does this bird resemble the phoenix from Chinese mythology in the Twenty-First Century?"
While remaining vigilant, she circled around the large bird, carefully examining it.
Slowly, the more she looked at this large bird, the more familiar it seemed.
Suddenly, she remembered that the Snow Spirit Fox would mutate and grow larger after eating that red fruit. Therefore, this Phoenix should also undergo significant changes after eating that fruit.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that this large bird in front of me is the Phoenix?"
Even someone as calm as her couldn't help but gasp in surprise, pointing at the large bird and muttering to herself, "This... this... this is just too incredible!"
After a moment, her heart finally calmed down.
So she began to channel her Inner Strength and activated her Ability to sense and detect whether this large bird was indeed the Phoenix she had encountered before.
The result was clear; the large bird before her was indeed the evolved Phoenix, and its evolution was due to that small red fruit.
At this moment, Phoenix had grown up and was now an adult phoenix.
It was also fast asleep, just like Snow Spirit Fox, and was still in the process of evolution.
Seeing that both little creatures had transformed into large beings and were still sleeping and evolving, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel quite speechless.
She took out a small, red fruit from her pocket, looked around, and thought to herself: since Snow Spirit Fox and the phoenix before her showed no signs of waking up, why not try eating one of the fruits herself to see if her Power would increase significantly.
Thus, Luo Bingbing left the area where the phoenix was located and moved to the center of where Snow Spirit Fox and the phoenix were, which was outside the cave entrance.
Luo Bingbing slowly sat down on a large rock and brought the small fruit to her mouth, gently taking a bite. She found the fruit to be very fragrant and delicious.
The red fruit was not bitter at all; it was sweet and tasty, prompting Luo Bingbing to eat it eagerly.
Before long, she had completely consumed the Red Fruit.
Although the Red Fruit was incredibly delicious and she wanted more, she remembered that ancient texts had already recorded that such red fruits were only effective when consumed for the first time, immediately unleashing their special effects.
Therefore, she thought that since she had already eaten one, having another would be ineffective for her. It would be better to keep the two fruits in her possession to give to others or to make into pills for future use.
Just as Luo Bingbing's thoughts wandered, she suddenly felt a surge of intense heat rising rapidly within her body, as if it were going to melt her from the inside.
She realized that this was a reaction triggered by the fruit she had just eaten and knew that her inner strength was continuously increasing.
So she immediately closed her eyes, guiding her inner strength through her major meridians, allowing it to circulate and transform into her own power.
Luo Bingbing's inner strength continued to surge forth as she kept guiding, transforming, and controlling it.
As night fell, the internal energy within her ceased to rise, indicating that the fruit Luo Bingbing had consumed had been fully absorbed.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the moon quietly hanging above the treetops, realizing it was already evening.
Secretly raising her Power to its peak, she swiftly pushed forward with a palm strike, and Luo Bingbing watched as the towering tree she struck instantly toppled over.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Wow! This century-old Power is truly impressive!"
Little One noticed that neither the Snow Spirit Fox nor the Phoenix had come to find her and guessed that they must still be asleep.
Thus, she headed towards the nearby location of the Snow Spirit Fox to check on it.
When Luo Bingbing reached the side of the Snow Spirit Fox, she saw that it still had its eyes closed and had not yet awakened. Thinking of leaving to check on the Phoenix instead, she was just about to turn away when the Snow Spirit Fox suddenly opened its eyes.
Upon opening its eyes, it saw Luo Bingbing, who was turning to leave. It quickly dashed towards Little One and leaped onto her small shoulder.
However, since the Snow Spirit Fox had grown larger while Luo Bingbing's shoulders remained small, it couldn't balance itself on her shoulder and soon fell to the ground.
Feeling quite wronged after falling, the Snow Spirit Fox let out a whimpering sound as if protesting to its Young Mistress.
Luo Bingbing had intended to leave, but when the Snow Spirit Fox suddenly jumped onto her shoulder and then fell off, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Her lips curled into a smile as she watched the Snow Spirit Fox tumble down.
Upon hearing the protest of the Snow Spirit Fox, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but bend down to pick it up. However, since the Snow Spirit Fox had already grown to weigh several dozen pounds, it was quite a struggle for Luo Bingbing to lift it.
After managing to pick up the Snow Spirit Fox, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Damn fox, why did you have to grow so big and heavy? It's really uncomfortable to hold you now; I preferred when you were small! Forget it, I've lifted you this time, but I won't do it again."
To her surprise, as soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, the Snow Spirit Fox quickly shrank back down to its original size.
Seeing this, Luo Bingbing was taken aback. Before she could gather her thoughts, a melodious and sweet child's voice reached her ears.
"Master, you can't do that! I can shrink down and even perch on your shoulder, so you can't just toss me aside."
Luo Bingbing looked around and confirmed that there was no one else in this Mountain Valley. She felt puzzled; the voice clearly belonged to a person, yet there was no one in sight.
The Snow Spirit Fox noticed the expression on its Young Mistress's face and realized that this Little One still didn't know it was the one speaking.
So, the Snow Spirit Fox spoke again to Luo Bingbing: "Master, it's me talking! There’s no one else here."
Hearing the voice again, Luo Bingbing turned towards it and saw that the Snow Spirit Fox was indeed speaking.
At that moment, Luo Bingbing became flustered again and stammered while pointing at the Snow Spirit Fox: "You... you... you can talk!"
The Snow Spirit Fox scoffed at its master's words and replied nonchalantly, "What's so surprising about that? I have many more abilities!"
"Why did you suddenly shrink? And how can you speak human language now?" Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and asked.
Feeling quite proud after hearing her question, the Snow Spirit Fox said, "It's because of that red fruit you gave me. I've already completed all my inheritance and evolution ahead of time. So, Master, you can't just leave me behind; I can help you with many things now!"
"What can you do?"
Snow Spirit Fox listened to the words of Little One and quickly ran towards a small tree not far away. Upon reaching the tree, it gently blew a breath towards it.
Suddenly, a miracle occurred; the once vibrant little tree was immediately covered by a layer of thin ice.
After blowing on the small tree, Snow Spirit Fox swiftly turned back to Luo Bingbing and said, "Master, you should go take a look!"
Thus, Luo Bingbing slowly walked towards the little tree.
When she arrived beside the tree and saw that a layer of thin ice had formed on its leaves and branches, she was momentarily stunned and mechanically asked, "Little one, did you do this just now?"
"Yes! Master, what do you think? I'm quite capable, right?"
Hearing Snow Spirit Fox's childish words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile slightly and said lightly, "Indeed quite capable. Alright! As long as you remain this small, I will take you with me wherever I go."
Upon hearing her words, Snow Spirit Fox happily jumped up and said, "Oh yeah! Master, I love you to death."
Hearing this from Snow Spirit Fox, Luo Bingbing felt a chill run down her spine. She raised an eyebrow at Snow Spirit Fox and said, "Alright, since you're awake now, let's go see if your companion Phoenix has woken up!"
