Chapter 268: Chapter 268: The Clever Student

Even though she was reluctant to become a leader, she had no choice but to force herself to adapt and take on the role.

Thinking of herself, Bai Junjun managed a strained smile.

Although she had been freed from the responsibility of carrying on The Apocalypse with Polar Bear, she still couldn’t live purely for herself like Li Wenli did.

She had to take care of Bai Sasa, Bai Lingyu, and Xiao Shan.

If she treated the situation like Li Wenli, playing around, and something happened to her, then these three children wouldn’t survive.

So, her life was not just her own, but also theirs.

Because of this, she had to take good care of herself, being cautious and strategic with every step.

Bai Junjun stopped looking at them and turned to go upstairs to the fourth floor, to handle the birds she had caught.

At that moment on the boat, Li Wenli saw the girl in the tree’s expression change from bright to envious and finally to melancholy and loneliness; he was startled and was about to delve deeper when the young lady had already turned and gone upstairs.

Meanwhile, Bai Lingyu was diligently trying to sense the differences in water droplets as per Li Wenli’s instructions, blending the similar parts together.

Initially, he was puzzled, wondering how water could be different.

Li Wenli just smiled and encouraged him to keep feeling.

Bai Lingyu patiently continued to try and eventually, after much groping, he discovered the subtlety.

Bai Lingyu felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, truly seeing the differences within these tiny droplets of water.

The tiny droplets were layered in circles; the outermost layer contained dust and stones, the second layer had less, until the very center which was the purest.

Bai Lingyu’s eyes lit up as he tried to extract that tiny pure part and then merged these tiny extracts together.

However, it took a great deal of effort to form something the size of a small marble.

The marble-sized new droplet fell into his mouth with a "plop," and Bai Lingyu, instinctively smacking his lips, found the taste to be extraordinarily refreshing and sweet.

After drinking it, he felt his whole body become smooth and extremely comfortable.

He turned excitedly to Li Wenli, "Brother, I think I succeeded!"

At that moment, Li Wenli was pondering the loneliness in Bai Junjun’s eyes when he heard Bai Lingyu’s voice and came back to his senses, only to see the little guy beaming with excitement as if he was high.

He hadn’t expected the kid to grasp it so quickly.

This was the advantage of having a pure Special Ability; the speed of cultivation and improvement was several times faster than that of mixed Special Abilities.

He pinched the child’s cheek, "Well done, next time don’t eat the water droplet, put it in a jar."

Bai Lingyu was in a growing phase, and he should be steadily strengthening his own Qi Sea, rather than relying on the Water Spirit’s crystal, as it could cause his foundation to be unstable.

It is like a young sapling in the germination stage which should properly take root; only when its trunk is robust and its roots are well anchored can it stand firm. If it shoots up too quickly with unstable roots, it will only collapse eventually.

Previously, Bai Lingyu did as Li Wenli had instructed, but since it was his first time condensing a crystal, he hadn’t controlled the angle well, and it had fallen directly into his mouth.

Although Li Wenli did not scold him, Bai Lingyu still felt somewhat guilty.

So, the next time he refined a crystal, he was extra careful.

When Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan got up and didn’t see the three of them, they were initially startled before hurriedly rushing out.

Then they saw Bai Lingyu and Li Wenli playing in a little boat below.

Xiao Shan, envious, was just about to ask Brother Fox to quickly come and fetch him when Bai Junjun came down from upstairs, her hands still clutching a clutch of bird eggs.
