Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Strong Externally, Weak Internally.

Bai Junjun steered the small boat directly to the site of the Small Cedarwood.

To her surprise, after soaking in the water for two days, the little guy had shot up from the bottom and now protruded half a meter above the water’s surface.

You should know the water was about four meters deep, which meant the little Miaomiao had grown over four times its original size.

The growth rate was insanely fast.

Bai Junjun realized right away that she couldn’t let the little plant soak any longer. If it weren’t bad enough that the Water Spirit could be drained dry, the real trouble would be if she couldn’t lift the little plant out of the water.

So Bai Junjun hurriedly connected with its leaves.

Just then, the Small Cedarwood, which had been happily shooting up, gave a violent shudder before its entire body began to protest.

It felt aggrieved! It was discontented! It had finally managed to grow taller!

Hadn’t it refused her?! Why did this persistent spirit come back again!!!

However, no matter how reluctant the Small Cedarwood was, it had no choice but to accept its fate.

After all, this person could connect with it and even control its body.

Whine, whine, whine...

And just like that, Bai Junjun once again drew the water from inside the Small Cedarwood. This time, however, she was surprised to find that the energy inside the Dawn Cedar was not as abundant as before. It seemed to have been diluted like the trees around it had been, a bit swollen in appearance.

This was not a good sign.

The water was essentially like a growth enhancer; although it made the species grow as big as giants, internally they were hollow with no substantial nourishment.

Bai Junjun wasn’t sure if the Water Spirit was playing tricks or if it was a side effect of the Spiritual Spring, but either way, this change made her more determined to not let the Small Cedarwood stay here.

If only she had known, she would have carried it to the jungle with her from the start.

Bai Junjun had no choice but to ruthlessly extract all of its energy.

The Small Cedarwood, which had its water forcefully pulled out, gradually shrank back to its original height of one meter.

"???" The Small Cedarwood looked on bewildered, having grown only to end up lonely.

It didn’t want this!!! Miaomiao wanted to grow tall!!!

Bai Junjun held up a bottle filled with Water of Flora and smiled in satisfaction.

"You, don’t just focus on growing taller. For trees, the taller they grow, the faster they die! Don’t you know that thunder prefers to strike the tall, foolish ones? Storing internal energy is much more important."

"..." Many tall, sky-reaching trees felt offended.

Thus, Bai Junjun, carrying the basket on her back, returned to the treehouse.

By then, Bai Sasa had already searched all over the third floor. The doors and windows were tightly closed, nothing was missing, and even the straw mats were left just as they had been when they left.

So everyone just had to lay out the mats again to live there. They had just finished all this when Bai Junjun came up carrying the Small Cedarwood.

Bai Sasa had carried the Small Cedarwood for more than half a month and had grown quite attached to it, feeling both surprised and happy to see her older sister pick it back up.

Bai Junjun had said before that since the Small Cedarwood was soaking in the creek, they need not worry about it.

During the flood, Bai Sasa had thought the Small Cedarwood must surely have perished. Who would have thought it was still doing well, and even the baskets and framed soil were intact?

Having just said goodbye to the Mosquito-eating Plant, the children still felt a void in their hearts, but now with the Small Cedarwood, they found some solace.

Thus, everyone was very enthusiastic about caring for the Small Cedarwood, even sharing the water from their own cups with it.

The Small Cedarwood, which had just had the Magical Wood Water drawn out of it, was wilting when it suddenly perked up upon drinking the Water of Flora provided by Bai Lingyu and others, its leaves brightening considerably.

Of course, this water was no ordinary water either. It was fetched by Bai Junjun just a while ago, all from the precious thousand-year-old Water of Flora from the jungle.
