Chapter 968: Gourd Absorb
Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bao'er clutched her gourd tightly, and from the tip of it, a black hole formed .
The atmosphere around it broke, and in that space, the very composition of the dimension fragmented . And then, from all around, everything began to be sucked into it .
Han Sen was frozen at the sight, watching the dark, swirling vortex suck in all the bugs like a hyperdrive de-humidifier .
The gourd was small enough to fit neatly inside Bao'er's hands . As a result, the gourd was far smaller than the bugs .
And yet, it effortlessly vacuumed-in each and every one of the creatures . Even the tank-like scorpion was dragged through the black hole at the mini-gourd's tip .
Han Sen could hardly believe it, even watching the sacred-blood creatures be sucked inside the gourd .
The gourd had to be some sort of bottomless well . Despite the countless creatures it had absorbed, there was no indication of it filling up . It was as if a pocket of endless space resided within it, and it could collect all that it sought to .
Pat!
Soon after, the bugs were all gone, and an unnerving silence returned to the tangled woodland . And then, just as quickly as it first appeared, the gourd disappeared .
Bao'er, empty bottle in hand, said, "I want milk . "
"Okay . I'll get you the best organic milk I can find," Han Sen said, smiling .
With Bao'er there, no one could dare mess with him .
After bringing Bao'er back to the shelter, Han Sen filled up her bottle with milk . And calmly, she suckled its rubber end in delight .
"Bao'er, where is your gourd?" Han Sen asked .
Bao'er looked at Han Sen with moderate confusion .
"You know, the gourd that absorbed all those bugs . " When she still didn't seem to understand, Han Sen presented her with a drawing of a gourd .
Bao'er, now understanding, said, "It's mine . "
Han Sen quickly replied, "Oh, I know that . Don't worry; Daddy knows it's yours . But I'm just wondering . . . can Daddy borrow it for a time?"
Han Sen quickly replied, "Oh, I know that . Don't worry; Daddy knows it's yours . But I'm just wondering . . . can Daddy borrow it for a time?"
"Okay . I can give it to Daddy . " Bao'er clapped her hands and the gourd appeared before her . Then she passed it to Han Sen .
"Good girl!" Han Sen accepted the gourd and simulated Bao'er's energy flow . He aimed it at the bear that had brought him so much trouble and yelled, "Absorb!"
The white bear p*ssed itself, but strangely, the gourd did not produce a black hole .
"Suck! Suck! Suck!" Han Sen yelled, three times . But still, nothing happened .
The white bear was frightened with each call, and when Han Sen started yelling, the bear passed out due to the overwhelming fear of imminent death .
It was like a prisoner who was to be executed at a firing range, but all the guns had jammed three times .
"Why is it not working?" Han Sen asked, bringing the gourd back over to Bao'er . "How can I make it absorb stuff, just like you do?"
Bao'er looked confused, not sure what Han Sen was suggesting .
Han Sen tried to explain it in greater detail, but she was evidently too young to understand .
"Can we release the bugs that are inside, maybe?" Han Sen had an idea, regarding the bugs that had been sucked inside .
"Can we release the bugs that are inside, maybe?" Han Sen had an idea, regarding the bugs that had been sucked inside .
There were a few sacred-blood class creatures inside, so releasing them one by one could let him obtain quite a few sacred-blood geno points .
But unfortunately, Bao'er could not understand this suggestion, either . In response to this, Han Sen tapped the gourd on its head and said, "The bugs . . . the bugs . . . "
Bao'er smiled and then grabbed the gourd . He thought she had understood, but instead, she tapped the gourd on its head and made it disappear .
"Ugh, I need help . I better enroll in some baby-language academy . " Han Sen felt incredibly disheartened .
Since he could not speak to Bao'er properly and make her understand him, Han Sen planned to kill the bear the old-fashioned way .
As Han Sen approached it, though, the bear leapt up and began another act of kowtowing .
"It's too late for that; you've already done this once . " Just as Han Sen prepared to finish the bear off, Bao'er started laughing and clapping .
The bear saw Bao'er's happiness and did a handstand for her . Then it did a strange performance, using its tongue to jump and hop in the air . Bao'er laughed with exuberant glee .
"He is smart . " Han Sen was surprised .
The bear, seeing her so happy, crawled near her and tried to lick her feet .
But Bao'er thought it was too dirty, which soured her mood . She slapped the bear, which sent the furry felon flying into a nearby wall with a crash .

"Ha!" Han Sen then wondered whether or not if he should give the bear an extra chance, if it committed itself to pleasing and providing Bao'er company .
If it would change its ways and do this, he'd allow it to live as a toy for Bao'er . Also, it could provide Han Sen some blood every now and then to attract bugs and make hunts simpler .
The bear survived its latest wallop, but its nightmare had only just begun .
Han Sen watched the bear and allowed it to remain near Bao'er's side .
Over time, he'd occasionally hear the bear scream in agony, following a loud thud .
The people in the east would always hear these screams, and they started murmuring amongst themselves about what it could have been . Many were in the belief that Han Sen had a secret hobby of torturing animals .
By the end of each day, the bear was injured and could hardly even move . It thought it could rest, but such wishes were flickers of its naivety .
At night, Han Sen used his holy light to heal the creature . And the day after, it'd be sent right back to Bao'er for play .
The bear needed to allow Bao'er to bully it, for that was the only way to keep her happy . And every now and again, Han Sen would come to draw its blood . It felt as if it had been robbed of its bear-necessities, and its life as a free-bear was over .
