Yun Wu moved the eggshell aside, stood up and stretched out a little, finding that both her strength and spiritual power had been fully restored.
So she decided to figure out a way to get out of this place.
However, it was at this moment that she discovered that those willow twigs were rooted in her waist.
After scanning her body with spiritual power, she gasped in amazement.
It turned out that it was the branch in her abdomen from which those twigs sprouted.
That branch rooted in her flesh had turned into a seed sprouting a lot of green shoots, which took root near her Dantian and was growing as the golden-red pearl spun.
What was that exactly?
These twigs had sprouted from her flesh. Would she be occupied by it and become a tree some day?
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt.
She couldn't help wondering whether there was a way to extract that weird branch out of her.
If she were still in her last incarnation, maybe she could extract it with a surgical operation, but in this exotic world, who else could perform a surgical operation like that apart from herself?
However, before that, she believed she had better figure out a way to get out of here first.
While Yun was contemplating with a frown on her face, that chubby little thing in the eggshell behind her took a few sniffs around, tilted its head and looked up at her, as if contemplating as well.
It knitted its little eyebrows and then released them.
After quite a while, it crawled out of the eggshell clumsily, toddled on its little plump legs to Yun Wu's feet, stretched out its claws and pulled her pant leg.
Yun Wu lowered her head. When she saw that little creature who had just told her she was ugly, she knitted her willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows and gave it a gentle kick, as if she disliked it.
"Go play. Leave me alone."
That chubby little thing lost its footing due to that gentle kick and rolled away. It almost fell off the willow twigs.
Yun Wu flicked a glimpse at it. Seeing that it was okay, she ignored it.
Racking her brains, she wondered how she could get out of this pit.
She remembered that she had been falling for a very long time after she fell into this bottomless pit, which meant that this place was probably very deep underground. How long would it take her to climb out of this pit? Would she make it?
However, at this moment, she felt that something was pulling her pant leg again.
Lowering her head, she saw the little creature looking up at her with big, liquid eyes.
The expression on its face was different from the previous disgusted one. This time, it stared at her piteously.
"Mom!"
Yun Wu nearly threw up on hearing the word.
Mom?
What was wrong with this chubby little thing? Did it really think she and it were of the same species? It called her mom?
"Listen, little fatty. I'm not your mother. Don't call me that." Upon these words, Yun Wu raised her foot, planning to get it off her pant leg.
But it tightly grabbed her pant leg with its little claws, clamping its chubby short legs on her feet.
"Mom…"
It called her again in a piteous babyish voice, excitedly rubbing its delicate little face against her shank, as if it finally managed to find its mother.
It really thought she was its mother?
Yun Wu was briefly transfixed with embarrassment. Then she goggled at at the chubby little thing clinging to her feet, the corner of her lips twitching.
It kept rubbing its face against her shank. Finally, Yun Wu couldn't help bending over and pulling it off her foot, glaring at it, "Little fatty, I told you I'm not your mother. You–"
However, before Yun Wu could finish her sentence, that little creature in her hands slid along her arm to her chest like a loach.
