Because Qiu Qiu blocked the attack of the peak expert for Ye Zhongming, it found itself in a state where it couldn't move for the first time.
Ye Zhongming wanted to put it back into his space ring to recover, but he found that this little guy could not enter at all.
So, Ye Zhongming could only carry it on his back, which also allowed him to care for and observe it at any time.
Qiu Qiu's defensive capability was unquestionable. Although it couldn't withstand the peak expert's attack yet, once Ye Zhongming became a powerful expert and Qiu Qiu grew stronger alongside him, it should be able to.
This little creature had a sturdy constitution that was not just talk.
Of course, there was also its gluttonous personality, which was almost comparable to that of an elemental spirit.
This little thing was quite picky, but as long as it could eat something, it wouldn't refuse. Later, Ye Zhongming directly started to "free-range" it. Besides being a bit busy himself, Qiu Qiu also liked its freedom, and there was a small reason of being unable to afford to feed it.
After all, the good things in Ye Zhongming's hands were all useful; he couldn't possibly give everything to Qiu Qiu.
Right now, Ye Zhongming felt a bit frustrated. This guy had actually managed to stretch its white silk into his space equipment—how did it do that?!
Even while still alive, it shouldn't be able to open his space equipment, right?
Ye Zhongming was very worried about some unexpected incident happening.
Earlier, during the battle with Kun Zuo, Ye Zhongming had severed one of its hands, which had a space ring on it. At that time, the King of Cloud Summit's greedy heart had erupted; he only thought that the peak expert's assets would make him rich, forgetting everything else.
In his fear of losing the ring, he directly stored Kun Zuo's severed hand in his space.
After the battle ended, when he wanted to use his space equipment, he suddenly discovered he couldn't open it.
Ye Zhongming immediately thought of the reason.
It was the chaos caused by spatial overlap.
Although he maintained a calm face while discussing matters with everyone, inside, he had cursed himself a thousand times for being a fool.
How could he make such a stupid mistake? He was truly blinded by the allure of Moon Age Gold. Though it was somewhat excusable, considering he bore a ten-digit debt, this was still too amateurish.
There was also one point that Ye Zhongming overlooked, or rather, the second mistake he made: when a peak expert dies, their body will collapse. Their physical form transforms into the most primitive energy to return to the universe.
But he had placed the still-living peak expert's severed hand into his space. What would happen if that hand also met with the body's death and collapse, causing energy to burst through the space equipment?
This led Ye Zhongming to keep an eye on his space equipment while speaking with others, fearing that it might explode or something dangerous might happen due to chaotic energy. The loss of control of spatial energy was no small matter; not only could they not withstand it, even peak experts might be at risk, potentially being sucked into some unknown place by spatial forces.
Fortunately, for some unknown reason, his space equipment remained quiet, just unable to be opened.
Ye Zhongming had already made plans for his return trip. He definitely needed to visit the Library Palace to ask if there were any ways to open the space ring, as both his personal stash and Kun Zuo's space ring contained immense value.
However, Qiu Qiu's sudden movement left him a bit confused.
What should he do?
Should he let Qiu Qiu continue sucking? But what if this little guy accidentally triggered an explosion in the space ring?
Ye Zhongming halted his steps, and everyone else followed suit. Although the King of Cloud Summit's strength seemed low in this context, he was genuinely the core figure.
Thus, everyone noticed Qiu Qiu's anomaly.
After a series of exclamations laced with expletives, everyone unanimously agreed that this matter should be handled by Ye Zhongming himself. They simply found a transport vehicle and locked Ye Zhongming inside to prevent others from seeing.
