Change

At that moment, Guaiguai came running from a distance and leaped into Ye Mo’s arms.

Ye Mo picked him up right away. “What’s wrong? Why are you running so fast?”

Guaiguai buried his face in his mother’s embrace. “Mom, those disciples are so stupid. What should I do?”

“If you’ve taken on the role of their teacher, you need to have some patience.”

“I’m all out of patience,” Guaiguai said, feeling utterly drained.

“So what do you plan to do?” Ye Mo asked with a smile.

“Mom, I want to pass these disciples on to my younger siblings. I don’t want to teach them anymore.”

“Why give up halfway?” Ye Mo didn’t want Guaiguai to develop the habit of starting things without finishing them.

“Mom, I just don’t feel like teaching them anymore,” Guaiguai grumbled.

Ye Mo set him down seriously. “Guaiguai, no matter what you’re doing, you need to see it through to the end, don’t you? Since you’ve taken them on, you’re responsible for teaching them how to cultivate. Only when they officially enter the path of cultivation can you let go, understand?”

“But Mom…”

“Guaiguai, whatever you do, you need to be patient, right? I remember you always had plenty of patience. When you used to cultivate, you always practiced longer than your siblings. Why can’t you show the same patience now?” Ye Mo gently patted his head, comforting him.

“To me, Guaiguai has always been the best. I remember when your younger siblings couldn’t understand something, you were always the one to teach them, right? You’re the eldest brother, their role model. They’re working so hard because they’ve learned from you!” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“Mom, I’ll go teach them. I’ll make sure they learn,” Guaiguai said, running off. Back when he taught his younger siblings, he had plenty of patience. So why was it gone now? Mainly, he hadn’t invested much effort; he was just playing around with these disciples.

Also, when Guaiguai heard his mom mention the word “role model,” he understood. As the eldest, if he just ran away, wouldn’t that be telling his siblings it’s okay to quit whenever they feel like it?

He couldn’t do that!

Unlike Guaiguai, the other five siblings were taking their roles as teachers seriously. They didn’t see it as play; they were truly committed to their disciples.

Guaiguai dashed off, determined not to let his slow-learning disciples hold him back. If the disciples he trained couldn’t keep up with those trained by his siblings, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to his title as a “role model”?

Watching Guaiguai run off, Mo Mo didn’t say a word, just quietly observed. Hmm… his little wife was impressive. In such a short time, she managed to ‘brainwash’ Guaiguai!

“Momo, you’re wasting your talent by not becoming a teacher,” Mo Mo said with a light chuckle.

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow. “My patience only extends to these six.” She didn’t consider herself fit to be a teacher. She didn’t have that much patience, and if it wasn’t for her kids, she wouldn’t have bothered saying so much.

Mo Mo pulled her into his embrace. “Come on, let’s go explore the rest of the Planet Elf!” The sudden trouble on Planet Life left Mo Mo a bit helpless. Although Ye Mo had set up tree shelters, providing some place to stay on Planet Life, he hadn’t thoroughly checked Planet Life for other dangers, like the presence of octopus monsters. Thus, he wasn’t ready to send people there just yet.

Mo Mo took Ye Mo’s hand, and they flew together into the sky above the Planet Elf.

The tree houses they occupied only covered a tiny portion of the Planet Elf. Before long, they flew out of the tree house area and reached a stretch of low shrubs.

“There are poisonous snakes in these shrubs!” Ye Mo discovered that there were many venomous snakes among the bushes.

“Could this planet belong to a snake clan?” Mo Mo wondered aloud, glancing over at what appeared to be over a million venomous snakes across the planet.

“So, what should we do? Should we abandon this planet?” Ye Mo didn’t want to occupy someone else’s land and then wipe them out!

“Leaving this planet isn’t an option. We finally found a place suitable for human habitation, and it would be a shame to give it up. Maybe we can relocate them somewhere else,” Mo Mo scanned the surroundings.

Unfortunately, the neighbouring planets were barren and inhospitable to humans—and by extension, also unsuitable for these venomous snakes.

“If it weren’t for the vitality water on the Planet Life, I think sending them there would be a good option,” Ye Mo suggested.

Mo Mo gave it some thought. “Right now, refining the water on the Planet Life is tough. Sending these snakes there might work, but aside from your tree canopies, there’s nothing suitable for them there.”

“I think we should go back and check. If the tree canopies can thrive in the vitality water, they might have more opportunities for growth,” Ye Mo said, looking at Mo Mo.

Mo Mo agreed, but before they left, they made sure to notify everyone on the Planet Elf not to leave the protective barriers and warned them that there were venomous snakes outside. If they valued their lives, they shouldn’t wander off.

Mo Mo and Ye Mo used their powers to transport themselves back to the Planet Life.

Arriving at Planet Life, they saw an endless expanse of tree canopies. The originally small area of tree canopies had expanded significantly, almost covering the entire planet.

“These vines are full of life and have changed the previously lifeless state of the vitality water.”

“Perhaps the original state of the vitality water had something to do with the octopus demon. After all, it’s of the dark element.”

“The entire water quality of the Planet Life has changed,” Mo Mo remarked, feeling the sudden surprise come rather quickly.

“How about building a floating city here?” Ye Mo suggested, thinking that building a city at least a hundred meters above ground level would be safe, especially since Planet Life’s surface was now entirely water, with depths exceeding ten meters.

Honestly, Ye Mo felt the planet’s continental plates must have shifted to end up like this.

“Building a floating city requires a lot of materials, and it’s not something the two of us can manage alone,” Mo Mo said, thinking they might need to involve Qin Lin. However, Mo Mo was reluctant to bring in Qin Lin because he was clearly interested in Ye Mo. As long as Mo Mo wasn’t foolish, he wouldn’t voluntarily bring Qin Lin here.

“For now, having them start cultivating is a good thing. Once they reach a certain level of cultivation, they can send a team to fetch water periodically,” Ye Mo said, considering it a positive development for the interstellar warriors to begin their cultivation journey.

Mo Mo looked at the sturdy tree canopies and said, “Until they’re ready, they’ll have to rely on us. We could build a wormhole or a teleportation array on top of the tree canopy.”
