Chapter 1046 - 4: Want to See You

"I... am called Tianmiao." The chubby radish tidied its little radish leaves with tiny hands and said in a soft voice.

"That’s a lovely name. Did you choose it yourself?" True Monarch Hanshan asked with a smile.

"I don’t know, it’s just my name anyway." The chubby radish shook its head.

"I see..." True Monarch Hanshan noticed from the corner of his eye that his apprentice, who wanted to speak but was holding back, was turning red in the face. He gave her an annoyed glance, then gently looked back at the chubby radish, "So, little Tianmiao, would you like to come with us? If you become my apprentice, you can cultivate into human form faster. Yi Lan and I will protect you. You’re so white and plump; if a vegetarian monster sees you, they might eat you up. You are a very nourishing delicacy."

As True Monarch Hanshan said this, he felt a bit guilty inside. Using such a tone to coax a child really made his head ache. Although he was telling the truth, a white and plump radish spirit did look very appealing, and in the eyes of those vegetarian monsters, it was indeed an extremely delicious and nourishing delicacy.

"Exactly, exactly, little junior sister, I’m telling you, you’re really in danger by yourself here. It’s just luck that you ran into us this time. What if you encountered some bad monsters?" said Yi Lan, the woman, with a worried expression.

"Can I transform into human form sooner if I go with you?" The chubby radish asked slowly, "Do you have any soil?"

"Yes, yes, you can transform into human form sooner. Soil, yes we have it, spiritual soil, much better than the soil here. I can even take you to sneak into the Queen Mother’s Medicine Garden; the spiritual soil there is the best." Yi Lan spoke quickly, trying to persuade.

"Well, okay." The chubby radish swayed its body, as if nodding, "Then I’ll go with you."

"Quick, call me senior sister, call me senior sister." Yi Lan hugged the chubby radish eagerly. She wanted to hold the chubby radish all along, but her master wouldn’t allow it for fear of scaring her. Now that the chubby radish had agreed, there shouldn’t be a problem holding her, right?

"Senior sister..." The chubby radish slowly called out.

"Hey!" Yi Lan responded loudly and cheerfully, "This is Master, our master. We can always find him if we need anything. If we have something tasty, we can share it with him, and if we get into trouble, he can back us up. Got it?" Yi Lan pointed to True Monarch Hanshan.

True Monarch Hanshan: "..." Although that’s true, the way the apprentice said it so bluntly felt a bit off?

"Got it, hello Master." The chubby radish spoke slowly, and in True Monarch Hanshan and Yi Lan’s view, it seemed like the chubby radish’s cultivation was poor, barely able to speak.

"Alright then, let’s return to the Heavenly Court. We’ve already delayed some time, and I need to go back to report. Once that’s done, I’ll take Tianmiao to register." True Monarch Hanshan formed a hand technique, and an auspicious cloud appeared in front of them. True Monarch Hanshan stood upon it, with Yi Lan holding the chubby radish also standing on it.

Tianmiao’s two little hands clung to Yi Lan’s sleeve, trying hard to look up at the sky.

"Oh..." The chubby radish suddenly exclaimed.

"What is it?" Yi Lan asked nervously, "Is it flying too fast? Too high and you’re not used to it?"

"The moon, it looks so close." The chubby radish said leisurely.

"Haha, because we’re flying upwards, getting closer to the moon. I’ll take you to the Moon Palace sometime, where we can sneak a peek from afar at Fairy Chang’e. Fairy Chang’e hasn’t left the Moon Palace for a long time, so if we want to see the most beautiful immortal in the Heavenly Court, we’ll have to sneak a look." Yi Lan whispered.

"Ahem!" True Monarch Hanshan cleared his throat softly. He was really worried the little apprentice would be led astray by his senior disciple.
