Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Space Upgrade (2)_1

Situ Xin thought that since she had obtained the Jade Token from the "Phoenix Nest," perhaps she could learn what problems the "Phoenix Nest" was experiencing from it. Just as she was about to search the Jade Token, the previously burning Phoenix Birthmark on her body began to gradually cool down.

"Huh, why did the temperature of this birthmark suddenly drop?" Situ Xin, noticing this, no longer cared to check the Jade Token. She waited for the Phoenix Birthmark on her body to slowly return to normal temperature. "Now that the birthmark has cooled down, let’s see if I can enter," thought Situ Xin, focusing her attention on entering the space.

Situ Xin was fully prepared to be obstructed, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she was already inside the space. No sooner had Situ Xin entered than she heard the roar of a tiger. "Ah, Baibai," she worried for Baibai and followed the sound in search of it. When she found Baibai, she saw a huge White Tiger stretching lazily, looking rather comfortable.

The sight of Baibai in such a state infuriated Situ Xin, Baibai was sleeping in comfort and contentment while she was outside the space, worried sick about it. However, after another thought, she realized she was misplacing her anger. Baibai likely did not know about any developmental stages specific to White Tigers, so Situ Xin forcibly suppressed her anger.

"Master, you’re here. Baibai missed you so much." In that period, Baibai was in a semi-hibernative state due to its development. Although it was awake at times, its consciousness was not as clear as usual. Furthermore, it used to talk and chat with Situ Xin every day. But during this time, the interactions between them were almost nil. Now that Baibai was fully awake, it looked at Situ Xin as if it hadn’t seen her in a very long time.

While speaking, Baibai lunged towards Situ Xin. Observing Baibai, who had become more than twice its original size, and its motion to pounce on her, black lines appeared on Situ Xin’s forehead. "Baibai, you stop right there."

"Master, why? Don’t you like Baibai anymore?" Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Baibai immediately halted and looked at Situ Xin with pitiful tiger eyes, wearing an expression as if saying ’my master is actually rejecting me, I’m so heartbroken, so hurt.’

Situ Xin felt as if she had committed a grave error. "Baibai, why wouldn’t I like you? Just look at your current size, and then look at me. Do you think I could withstand it if you pounced on me, that I wouldn’t be squashed?" Situ Xin gestured at Baibai’s size, then her own, as she said so.

"Eh." After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Baibai also paid attention to its own size, then looked at Situ Xin. "It’s true, I forgot I’ve grown much larger than before," it said.

"So, Baibai, can you still change your size at will like before?" Situ Xin asked, noticing Baibai’s size now taller than herself by a head, thinking of future instances when Baibai would have to follow her out of the space.

"Yes, I can," Baibai nodded affirmatively.

"By the way, Baibai, do you know what just happened to the space? Why was the Phoenix Birthmark on my chest burning fiercely, and also, why was I prevented from entering the space?" Now that Situ Xin had seen Baibai was alright, she recalled the recent anomalies.

"Master, I know. When I awoke just now, my mind had many more memories," Baibai said proudly.

"Alright, then tell me about it," Situ Xin found a place to sit, waiting for Baibai to elaborate.

"Alright, Master, my constant drowsiness was due to my development," Baibai began, only to be interrupted by Situ Xin. "I know that, get to the point," she cut in.

"Master, don’t rush me, it’s related to what I’m about to say later. Since you know about my development, you should also know that we White Tigers, during our development stage, besides being sleepy, need to absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, especially at the most critical moment of our development. If there is a lack of Spiritual Energy, it could be life-threatening," Baibai started. After seeing the impatience in his master’s eyes, urging him to get to the point, Baibai quickly changed the subject, "When I was at the most critical stage of my development, I absorbed a massive amount of the space’s Spiritual Energy, and it was fortunate that there was sufficient Spiritual Energy in this space for my successful development. The absorption of a large amount of Spiritual Energy in the space temporarily caused insufficient Spiritual Energy within it. The space automatically closed the entrance when the Spiritual Energy was lacking. As for later, after I developed, or rather, after a successful advancement, the immense Spiritual Energy that came with my successful development rapidly filled the entire space, replenishing what was previously depleted and reopening the entrance. Master, haven’t you noticed that the Spiritual Energy in this space is much denser than before?" Baibai looked at Situ Xin expectantly for praise.

However, at this time, Situ Xin was thinking about Baibai’s advancement and the details about the Spiritual Energy, barely noticing Baibai’s expression. "Baibai, based on what you’re saying, then the Spiritual Energy in this space can be depleted, used up?" she asked.

"Yes. But no, the Spiritual Energy in this space won’t run out and can’t be exhausted. This space can generate Spiritual Energy by itself. Today’s incident occurred because my advancement required a great deal of Spiritual Energy, suddenly exceeding the space’s capacity, resulting in this situation. However, in the end, my successful advancement greatly benefited this space," Baibai added.

"I see. Well then, Baibai, it’s fortunate that I had some foreknowledge and sent you into the space early. Otherwise, keeping you outside would have spelled disaster this time," Situ Xin now thought about the terrifying consequences if she hadn’t placed Baibai inside the space earlier.

"Indeed, I really owe it to you this time, Master," Baibai agreed. White Tigers are a rare and noble breed, so they require stringent living conditions. If not for the existence of the "Phoenix Nest" space providing sufficient Spiritual Energy, Baibai wouldn’t know where it would be by now.
