**Sprout in the Early Morning** (清晨的萌芽, *Qīngchén de Méngyá*) is the 25th episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

A-Gen and Xiaohei talk with Xiaobai about the Shining Pearl. After that, Shanxin shows Xiaobai a special game console she's won, which allows her to play a game called All Living Creatures. Xiaobai realizes that she has the same console. A purple-haired girl approaches them and gives them her ID so they can all play together. Meanwhile, a young elfin named Dongdong saves the passengers from an airplane which is crashing into the city, avoiding any casualties. Xiaohei, Xiaobai and A-Gen return to the countryside, and the next morning, Xioahei almost-finishes his recovery, turning into his human form.

## Plot

A-Gen talks to Xiaobai about the Shining Pearl. He tells her that getting the Pearl was the hardest task in the Book of Vows, as it was placed inside Laojun’s Pavilion and fortified with multiple force fields. Few try to go after it. This makes her appreciate Xiaohei even more. For Xiaohei, force fields basically don’t exist, as long as they’re inside his reach. He has a great ability for stealing stuff. Xiaobai wonders if there’s any really strong person that wants the Pearl. A-Gen tells her that there are, but that they’d be ashamed to partake on Laojun’s games, on Laojun’s home. Then, Xiaohei tells her that he was incapable of using the Pearl, in any case, so it had little use for him. This shocks A-Gen. While they talk, they’re being observed by a girl with purple, long hair, who watches from a distance. She wanted to see some action, but was disappointed they talked things over.

Outside the convention center, A-Gen, Xiaobai and Xiaohei meet with Shanxin and her father. Shanxin tells them she won the tournament, and won the big prize: an exclusive game which has its own game console, of which only a thousand were produced, despite the fact that it was ordered by more than ten million persons. Despite of getting it, Shanxin doesn’t know much about it, or what makes it special. She buys firsts, asks questions later. Then, Xiaobai realizes that the box Laojun gave him was also a copy of the console. Xiaohei gets it for her, and Shanxin is shocked to see it. She tells Xiaobai that they can play together, then. The purple-haired girl who was watching them earlier approaches them, telling them she also has the game console. She asks if they’ll also play Gate of All Living Creatures, and gives them her ID.

Back at Shanxin’s house, everyone is surprised to see Huangshou and Bidiu all dirty, and at the entrance. A-Gen, Xiaohei and Xiaobai say their goodbyes to Shanxin, and return to the countryside.

At the town, grandpa scolds A-Gen for taking so long to return. Still, A-Gen tells him he got the money the needed, which makes him happy. At night, Xiaohei returns to the pot where he recovers using Laojun’s healing spell.

The next morning, in a house at Longyou city, a young elfin named Dongdong sees an airplane falling down from the sky. He uses his powers to stop time, and flies towards the plan by summoning bat-like-wings. He enters the plan and evacuates all the passengers, one by one, placing them on nearby roofs. Then, he returns to his house, where he finishes having breakfast.

At the countryside, everything begins to shake, which Xiaobai’s uncle notices, as Xiaohei has almost finally recovered. He turns human, and uses his metal-control powers to summon a blade from the kitchen.
