Chapter 129 - Thats New (1/2)

I get off Ren and dust my hands off but when I turn around, I see Chyou standing behind us with her mouth open in shock as she stares at us with large eyes. I clear my throat and say ”He's gonna need some help. Maybe even therapy.” I hook my thumb over my shoulder and walk off.

He always knows how to piss me off. It's like a special talent of his! I try to forget him and his hateful attitude as I walk towards the back of the courtyard. I need to find the natural lake/pond thingy to help stabilize my foundation. Only then can I start cultivating again.

After ten minutes or so of walking, I finally find the... puddle? It was so small! I walk over to it and look at it with a frown. A puddle! It was large enough to maybe fit two people at best! I look up to the slow drip and find it's coming from an odd-looking rock.

The odd rock was just randomly sticking out of the ground and came up to my hips but at the very top, water can be seen slowly trickling down the rock and into the ”puddle” Hmm... I squat down next to it and frown.

Was this really what he was talking about? I look around the rest of the courtyard but I don't find anything else. I sigh and say ”Whatever.” I look around once more before standing up and scratching my head. Do I just sit in it? Or am I supposed to drink it?

This would have been a good thing to ask beforehand! Whatever! I'll just do both! I take my shoes off and walk into the puddle. It was somehow warm... hmmm. I sit down in the water and face the odd rock. I bring both my hands up and begin filling my hands up with the water.

Little Bun stirs when he smells the water and instantly pops his little head out to see. I look down at the cute little thing and say ”Good morning sleepy head. Would you like some water?” Little Bun squeaks in excitement and crawls over to my hands.

He jumps on top of the odd rock and starts licking it up with his tiny pink tongue. I giggle at the cute sight and say ”Hey now, leave some for me!” He ignores me and starts licking faster causing me to laugh. I was only joking but this greedy little thing... too cute.

After a couple of minutes, my hands are full of crystal clear water. I bring it up to my face and sniff it before shrugging. If little Bun's drinking it, it should be fine, right? I bring my hands up to my mouth and take several sips. I wait a few seconds but when nothing else happens, I drink the rest.

I sit in the puddle and wait but after several minutes, I still don't feel anything. Should I drink more? The water actually tasted pretty good... I shrug again and decide to drink more. After five handfuls I give up. Nothing's happening!!!

I sit in the puddle and start feeling like an idiot. Watch this not be the right one... watch this just be a peeing rock and it's little pee puddle. Which, I just drank! Irritated, I lean forward and press my forehead against the peeing rock.
