Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691 Yingzi(2)

"Yingzi, how did you follow me?" Yuan asked her with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"I followed your shadow," she calmly responded.

"My shadow…?"

"How much do you know about shadows?" she asked him next.

"Honestly, not much."

Yingzi proceeded to explain, "Most believe that shadows are universal for everyone. While that is somewhat true, it's different for us, Shadow Dwellers."

"Just like how everyone has a different soul, their shadow is also unique to them. However, only those born in the shadows like us Shadow Dwellers can see the difference."

"That means as long as I enter your shadow, I'll be able to emerge from your shadow, no matter where that may be."

"With that said, I wasn't certain I would be able to follow you, and I acted on a whim. But I'm glad it worked. This world may be small, but it has a lot of delicious scents."

"…"

Yuan stared at Yingzi with a worried gaze. While he was confident that Yingzi wouldn't cause any trouble for him or Earth, this incident exposed a loophole—a risk that he wasn't even aware of before.

If Yinzgi was able to follow him from the Primal Expanse through her own abilities, there was a chance the same could happen again. This meant that Earth wasn't completely safe from unexpected invasions.

'I will need to be more wary of who I log out around. I should let the others know this too.' Yuan thought inwardly.

It'd be disastrous if someone dangerous were to follow him back to Earth, after all.

He looked at Yingzi and spoke a moment later, "Um, Yingzi. I trust you, and I don't mind your presence here, but you'll need to be extra careful in this world. As you know, this world is very small and fragile. If someone like you were to use your abilities, it would fall apart."

She nodded, "I am aware. I won't do anything to your territory."

"Thank you. By the way, are you feeling okay? This world doesn't have any Chaotic Essence."

He figured that if humans were unable to cultivate in the Primal Expanse, those from the Primal Expanse would have the same issue if the roles were reversed.

"I guess it does feel a little uncomfortable since I have never been this deprived of chaotic essence, and I won't be able to replenish my chaotic essense if I use them, but it doesn't have any detrimental effects on me."

"That's good. Anyway, since you're here, is there anything you want to do? I'll show you around."

Without hesitation, Yingzi replied, "Food."

"I figured." Yuan smiled.

"Alright, give me a few minutes to shower first."

"What is a shower?" she asked.

"It's when we clean ourselves with water."

"Why? You don't look dirty."

"We can shower even if we're not dirty."

"Is it common for humans to shower?"

"Very. Pretty much everyone showers."

"Okay. I will shower with you," Yingzi declared.
