7 Chapter 7

The red haired young man stared mid-air dazed.  When someone suddenly patted his shoulder.  His body immediately jolted in shock and subconsciously pulled the hand and threw the man behind him to the floor . Only when Lienor heard Lucas' groan did he sobbered up.

" Gah! What's wrong with you bro? " Complained Lucas and rubbed his aching back .

Lienor felt guilty for throwing the burly man and considerately helped the man to stand up . " Next time , Don't surprise me again ."

When Lucas heard Lienor's unflustered face he immediately felt an impulse to punch his scumbag face.  " Fcc ", he could only cuss and forgive Lienor. 

" Let's go back " Lienor decided to give it to fate . If he and the toddler meets again in the future , then that means they were fated . It not then its not .

" You look gloomy . " Said Lucas and lifted up the pile of wood left behind .

Lienor shook his head . " I saw something beautiful , but it escaped leaving no traces behind . "

Lucas' ears immediately stood up when he heard the word beautiful.  " Is it a fox? "

" No " Lienor denied and sighed at the same time .

The red fox tribe originally have the red fox as their symbol because of their ability to shape shift as Red Foxes . Its only unfortunate that because of the excessive hunting of the nearby tribes , red foxes almost went extinct . Red Fox Tribe was so enraged back then and declared a war against the White Wolf Tribe .

It was also because of that big war that the wooden slabs that was used to record the cultivation technique and steps to stimulate the blood was lost after the big fire engulfed the whole tribe place .

Red Foxes now became rare and there's a shortage of blood warriors in the tribe . You could see that war could really make a small tribe like Red Fox Tribe suffer a lot of of loses.  

" If only we could find a stimulation technique for us to awaken , like drugs . "Muttered Lienor .

Lucas who has an animal like ears could hear what Lienor was saying and immediately gave him an odd look . " Our Old Witch's inheritance was also lost after the old witch died from the last war 2 decades ago . There's no way our clueless and useless witch could develop drugs that could stimulate our blood ability.  "

Lienor immediately hit the back of Lucas' head to shut him up . Anyone who dares to slander their witch would be executed , this Lucas is really daring and bold.  Fortunately no one was around or else , Lucas wouldn't be able to see the sun rise up again .

When Kryst went back to the space , Yggdrasil waved his tree branches and rubbed the toddler's cheeks intimately . Kryst subconsciously smiled gently and patted the tree branches . He never felt such kind of intimacy throughout his whole life . Throughout his life , he was surrounded with varieties of negative emotions such as envy , hatred , killing intent , greed and unhealthy obsession . Yggdrasil was like his oasis in a dessert . No one could know how much negative emotions he actually bore in his heart.  Anytime soon , ge would probably explode and turn berserk .

Kryst brings out stones in front of Yggdrasil and smiled at the tree . " Ssil , i know now how to start a fire . "

Yggdrasil immediately praised the toddler , forgetting the old soul within the toddler's body . Kryst doesn't mind Ygdrassil's way of treating him as a child as he could already be considered as having reborn .

Kryst picked up the basket made by Ygdrassil at the side and dragged the basket to the artificial pond . Kryst then carefully washed the vegetables .

" Unfortunately though , we don't have any salt. " Muttered Kryst and started making a fire . He could only make do with roasted vegetables .

Thanks to Yggdrasil's help , a small batch of potatoes , garlic and scallions were rapidly grown . These types of plants don't grow rapidly so he made Yggdrasil contribute his tree vitality and move the most fertile soil near these plants for rapid growth .

The result did not disappoint little Kryst , but he's still lamenting for the salt . Where can he find a salt .

" Ssil , do you know where can we find salt? " Asked Kryst and looked at the towering tree .

Yggdrasil's branched shook for a while before he answered . " I don't know either , i am just a normal Elf producing machine like tree . "

" Should have i snatched some data about the sources of humans' basic needs? " Muttered Yggdrasil and suddenly felt regret over his recklessness , if only he had considered his little elf's well being and thought of his future needs he would have ransacked the storage room and brought it with them through the space crack .

Kryst paused and sighed . " Forget it , I'll go visit the stupid guy again and ask for some salt tomorrow . For now , I'll just suffer with this simple dishes . I don't even know how to cook properly . What a mucked up life . "

Yggdrasil felt a bit sad for his little kid and rubbed the pitiful baby . " Should we kidnap that guy and let him take care of you? "

Kryst immediately shook his head . He doesn't want any other people to step on their domain aside for his future nephews and nieces that are about to exist soon . He have to prepare a lot of things . Although he's clueless about basic life skills most humans have. He'll do his best to learn it from them , now that he's no longer locked up inside the institute .

Kryst absent mindedly ate a fire roasted baby carrot then while chewing , he carefully peeled the skin of the sweet potato and began eating .

" Sweet potatoes really taste good . I'll plant more of this later . "

During his time outside , Ygdrassil took the liberty to create more onesies for his little toddler , although his weaving aren't skillfull and there's no other pigments to be used on the pajamas , light green and white onesies are already good.

The next day , Kryst woke up in a new onesie created by Yggdrasil . The onesie this time is a white feline creature with a long slender tail dangling at the rear part and droopy triangular ears at the top .

Kryst blinked and stared at his reflection on the artificial pond . " Now that i think of it , Ssil , you seem to have weird fetishes out there . "

Yggdrasil waved his branches and shamelessly responded . " It looks good on you though , it multiplies your cuteness charms . "

The corner of the toddler's small lips twitched as his baby cheeks trembled along with the motion . Kryst's kuudere eyes stared calmly at the shaking towering tree . " With this attention drawing clothes , you seemed to want me to be kidnapped by some perverted barbarians . "

" No way! "

Yggdrasil was about to take the onesie back when Kryst suddenly grinned although his face didn't change much . " This is Ssil's creation . I like it . "

Kryst hugged the extended tree branches and kissed the surface before giving Yggdrasil a sweet smile . " Thank you . "

Yggdrasil's motherly heart trembled how he wish he could lift the child up and throw him mid-air . Before Yggdrasil could wrap his vines around the toddler . The sweet smile on the toddler's face disappeared and the Kryst's face went stoic again .

Kryst sat down and read the book entitled Introduction To Formulae of Herbal Medicine , Skills , Practice of Acupuncture: Point Locations , treatment options .etc.

There are also some other books about herbal medicines and illustrations . They are lucky enough to snatched these books along the way . These books were from Asia ,the translated version .

" If i found some plants with medicinal effects in the future , I'll replant it here . " Kryst muttered and flipped the book .

His life was quite monotonous and boring , but he liked it better than his cold life in the lab cell surrounded by cold metals . Now , he's living close to nature and Yggdrasil , he really liked his life right now and he's grateful for that .

Next day , Kryst planted some tropical fruits such as bananas , papayas , mangoes , avocadoes and etc . He sowed the seeds in different places a little bit far from each other and didn't mixed them up. Kryst was clueless about planting and just ploughed , sowed , and sprinkled water .

The sight of the toddler crouching down on a green land ploughing soils looked so adorable . Yggdrasil badly wanted to take a bite on his cute baby cheeks .

Unfortunately , he doesn't have any mouth , and only has roots . Yggdrasil didn't just watched at the side and also helped the poor lone guy to dig and sow . He also made sure to choose a fertile land for these fruits .

" Shouldn't we make a green house first? " Kryst muttered .

" I heard from my co- test subjects that their family cultivates seedlings inside a green house . The thing is ... What's a green house? "

Yggdrasil: We must protect this child!! PROTECT!!
