Chapter 126 The Tragedy Caused by the Fish
Chapter 126 The Tragedy Caused by the Fish
In the backyard.
Bai Jie told Chaos about her experiences on the road, such as the Misty Forest, the Dream Eater in her dream, and how she met Zhujian and Bai Ze.
"Pfft, hahaha~ I never expected that the seemingly calm Bai Ze would get drunk and become delirious!" Tianlu laughed, rolling on the ground while clutching his stomach.
Bixie tilted his head. This was indeed a bit beyond his understanding. Logically speaking, a beast like that shouldn't have such an obvious weakness, right?
Chaos covered his mouth, never expecting such a 'cute' beast?
Bai Jie smiled as she looked at the beasts, not intending to say anything on Bai Ze's behalf.
"Oh, right, speaking of Bai Ze, we have to mention one of his favorite foods," Bai Jie suddenly said, remembering something.
He opened his storage space to take out the Shuyu, and then saw the large sycamore tree next to the Shuyu.
Suddenly, I realized, "That's right, I also need to plant this sycamore tree. I'll find a place to plant it later."
"Come and try this, how does it taste?" Bai Jie said to the surrounding beasts as she took out the Shu fish.
“Ugh—what an ugly fish, Bai Jie, this fish is even uglier than the ones we’ve eaten before—” Tianlu complained from the side.
"It's really ugly." Even the evil spirit couldn't stand it.
"Haha~ Right, right? I actually think so too, but this fish is delicious~" Bai Jie said with a smile, the beasts' reactions were exactly what he expected.
After Bai Jie finished speaking, he lit a fire and placed four chub on it to roast. He still had eleven chub in his storage space, so he wasn't worried.
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted into Tianlu's nose.
"Sigh~ It smells so good~" Tianlu's mouth watered, and he took back what he had just said! This fish was definitely the most 'beautiful' he had ever seen!
"Pfft, look how anxious you are." Bai Jie covered her mouth and laughed, handing a string of chub to Tianlu's paw.
"Awooo—" Tianlu ate the wooden stick with the fish stuck in it as well.
"Haha~" Tianlu's mouth was full, and he had a happy look on his face as he spoke indistinctly.
"Bixie, have a skewer too!" Tianlu took a skewer of fish and placed it in front of Bixie's mouth.
"Ah? Tianlu, you can eat, I'm not hungry~" Bixie said to Tianlu with a smile.
He wanted to eat some, but he thought Bai Jie only had four chubby fish, so he decided to give them to his younger brother first and let him have his fill.
“Hey… isn’t Bixie hungry? What a pity…” Tianlu said, hanging his head.
Bai Jie noticed something was wrong and patted the talisman with her paw.
"Go ahead and eat, it's alright. I still have quite a few fish left. Just consider it a favor to Tianlu. Look, he's already feeding you." Bai Jie said with a smile.
Bixie heard Bai Jie's words, and then looked at Tianlu, whose eyes were wide open and who was trying to look cute.
"Okay~" Bixie smiled as well.
"Great! I'll feed Bixie!" Tianlu placed the fish in front of Bixie's mouth.
"Ah~" Bixie opened his mouth wide.
"Ooh—" It swallowed the entire Shu fish in one gulp, but also swallowed the wooden stick. Of course, Tianlu's claws were also put into Bixie's mouth.
However, it wasn't in his mouth for long before he pulled it out.
Tianlu didn't mind anything; he felt it was normal.
"Hehehe~ Ward off evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, how does it taste!" Tianlu asked expectantly from the side.
Bixie licked his lips: "Tastes good~"
"Right, right!" Tianlu said, rubbing against the evil spirit.
Bai Jie watched Tianlu and Bixie from the side; the two brothers had such a good relationship.
"Here are the last two skewers for you, big guy~" Bai Jie handed the remaining two skewers of grilled shad to Hun Dun.
Chaos is alright; her composure is quite good.
The Qiongqi beside her was drooling.
"Big sister, big sister! Look, I usually take care of these two idiots. I'm usually so well-behaved. I often patrol this place, and I often go hunting and bring back food..." Qiongqi's talkative nature immediately kicked in.
"Stop, stop, stop, here you go," Chaos said with a helpless smile.
He handed a string of slugs to Qiongqi.
Qiongqi, having obtained the Shuyu, wore a victorious smile.
He placed the shovel in front of the taotie and waved it around.
"Look, this was given to me by my elder sister! She saw how hard I work, so she gave me this precious fish to eat! Aren't you envious, my friend?" Qiongqi boasted to Taotie.
"..." Taotie closed its eyes. This Qiongqi talks so much; it seems like it's become even more talkative since it grew bigger...
Qiongqi saw that Taotie didn't react, and thought to himself that it was boring. He decided to go find a sense of superiority with Taotie instead; that guy would definitely be envious to death!
So Qiongqi placed the Shuyu in front of Taotie and waved it around, then continued to recount his arduous experiences and how great his great sister's judgment was.
"Look, this fish...?" Qiongqi hadn't even started speaking yet.
Suddenly I realized my fish was gone? Gone?! I hadn't even had a bite!
Looking ahead with angry eyes, I saw a Taotie licking its lips.
"Hmm~ Not bad~" Taotie said to Qiongqi teasingly.
"Taotie!" Qiongqi couldn't stand this insult. He had finally received a reward from his elder sister, and now it was gone!
He pounced directly at the Taotie, and the two beasts wrestled together.
The next second, a familiar shout rang out.
"Awooo—!" The two beasts that were wrestling screamed and lay on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, their tails covering their rear ends, showing what had just happened.
The Xie Zhi used its divine power to purify its horns.
"Phew~ I still dare to fight. You guys really don't learn your lesson." Xie Zhi said mercilessly, completely ignoring the fact that the other party's parent, Hun Dun, was right there.
For her, anyone who dares to fight in front of her, even if they are twice as strong as her, she would dare to stop them.
Of course, she would still check Chaos's reaction, and if anything seemed amiss, she would immediately make her escape.
Chaos, on the other hand, covered his mouth and laughed, nodding to Xie Zhi to indicate that she had done a good job.
Bai Jie looked at the two beasts that seemed to be bent over, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Wait, something's not right? I don't think I have any. Oh well, it's alright then~
It looks painful, though. I'll have to be careful next time I get into a fight, otherwise getting stabbed by a Xie Zhi would be really tough.
"Your name is Xie Zhi, right?" Bai Jie said to Xie Zhi with a smile.
"Yes," the Xie Zhi replied politely to Bai Jie.
"Hmm~ How about becoming a teacher at our villa? Of course, you won't be restricted in your freedom," Bai Jie invited Xie Zhi.
"Teacher?" Xie Zhi tilted his head, not quite understanding the meaning of the word.
"Well... what the teacher meant was to impart some knowledge, skills, and proper living habits to other beasts," Bai Jie explained to the Xie Zhi.
"Is that so?" Xie Zhi weighed the matter in her mind. Wasn't this one of the reasons she stopped those evil beasts?
"Of course, no problem!" The Xie Zhi thought it was a win-win situation.
