Chapter 182: Dark Land
It had been a long time since she watched the excitement, and Shi An’an finally got her fix today.
In the end, Xiao Lu and Fei’er ended in failure, concluding the combat!
Fei’er walked out dejectedly, frustrated because he didn’t win the right to bathe first.
The giant lion held its head high and chest out, walking toward Shi An’an amid the adoring gazes of the star beasts.
Shi An’an stood up, looking at the tall giant lion and praising it generously.
“Xiu, you’re amazing!”
The giant lion lowered its head and gazed down at Shi An’an’s excited little face, chuckling, “Enjoyed the excitement?”
Back when he lost his memory and was still Tudou, he knew this girl had a latent hobby—loving to watch the excitement!
Any excitement, big or small, as long as it happened, she would rush to see it first!
When others chatted, she sat quietly by the side, listening to the gossip from others’ mouths without any presence, then quietly retreated.
So, just now during his sparring with Xiao Lu, as soon as he turned his head, he saw this one squatting there, face full of excitement and agitation.
“Ahem… no way.” Shi An’an was exposed and felt a bit embarrassed.
“Around?”
“Sure!”
Shi An’an turned around, just about to leave, when the giant lion suddenly blocked her.
“Get on.”
Shi An’an looked up at the smooth, soft fur, happily responding, “Okay!”
She jumped right on.
Sitting on the giant lion’s back, Shi An’an couldn’t help but touch the fur on its body, marveling in her heart, so smooth!
Xiu felt the stroking on his back and took a deep breath, “An’an…” his voice full of restraint.
Hearing Xiu’s voice, Shi An’an immediately sat up straight, pretending nothing had happened.
Xiu was helpless, and the next second, he dashed off wildly.
Xiao Lu saw the giant lion that had just beaten it carrying off its favorite two-legged beast, thinking something fun was happening, and immediately dashed after them wildly.
The other star beasts saw Xiao Lu run off, quickly abandoning their beloved green plants and following along.
“Cool!”
Fei’er stood up, looking at the lion and person leading the way, with a group of star beasts behind them, and couldn’t help but envy Shi An’an.
To have their noble God of War Highness as a seat was too enviable!
“Roar…”
In a flash, Xiao Lu caught up and roared at Shi An’an, thinking its back was more comfortable than that lion’s, hoping Shi An’an would sit on it!
Xiu understood Xiao Lu’s words and immediately veered off to the other side, not wanting to see this star beast.
“Hahaha, Xiao Lu got left behind, hahahaha…”
Seeing Xiao Lu left behind with a stunned expression, Shi An’an couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Xiu curled his lips and picked up speed, continuing to run forward.
“Wow!”
Suddenly accelerating, Shi An’an hurriedly grabbed Xiu’s fur; fortunately, Xiu had already wrapped her in spiritual power, or she might have been blown into a grotesque face by the wind.
Just like that, Xiu carried Shi An’an running tirelessly in one direction.
As if wanting to vent all the restlessness in his heart.
After running for who knows how long, Shi An’an suddenly saw the distinctly dark boundary ahead.
“Xiu.”
Shi An’an called out, and Xiu also saw ahead and stopped.
Shi An’an flew directly to the boundary line ahead, while Xiu transformed back into human form and stood beside her.
“Previously, spiritual sense reached here but couldn’t go further; it’s completely different from this side.”
Shi An’an looked at the pitch-black darkness ahead; standing at the boundary, she clearly felt a cold aura rushing toward her.
Xiu looked at the dark land and said, “This is the other side of this planet; it’s a typical dual-sided planet.”
“One half is perpetually in light, the other in dark blackness.”
Shi An’an sensed it, “So strange; it’s the same planet, but why does the light side have spiritual energy while the dark side has none at all?”
Xiu closed his eyes, then opened them, “Besides no spiritual energy, there’s no life at all.”
“Roar! Roar roar!”
Suddenly, Xiao Lu’s voice came from behind; Shi An’an and Xiu turned to look and saw Xiao Lu stamping its feet anxiously in the distance, roaring.
The star beasts behind it seemed afraid of this place, watching from afar.
“What did it say?” Shi An’an looked at Xiu puzzled.
Xiu’s expression was subtle, “It says it’s dangerous here, telling us to go back and not stand here.”
Hearing it was dangerous, Shi An’an turned to look into the darkness; it seemed to block spiritual sense, and hers couldn’t enter.
“Let’s go, back first.”
Xiu glanced at the dark place, took Shi An’an’s hand, and turned to leave.
The two reached Xiao Lu, “Awoo…”
Xiao Lu let out an awoo, directly bit them up and tossed them onto its back, quickly leaving the area.
The other star beasts saw them return and all hurriedly ran back, wanting to get away from here quickly.
After Shi An’an and the others left, in that dark land, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared, staring straight in the direction they left, then vanished moments later.
Xiu sharply turned his head to look back but discovered nothing.
“What’s wrong?”
Shi An’an noticed Xiu’s movement and looked back too, seeing nothing.
“Nothing.”
Xiu said softly, but a trace of subtlety flashed in his eyes.
“Later, let’s ask Xiao Lu what’s going on over there.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Lu quickly brought the two back to their territory before stopping and letting them down.
The other star beasts, having run for so long, were panting and lay on the ground resting.
But when they saw the green plants, they struggled up desperately again, walked to the green plants, flopped down, stretched their heads toward them, and sniffed deeply and obsessively…
“Xiao Lu.”
“Awoo?”
Xiao Lu panted, looking at Shi An’an, knowing she was calling it.
Shi An’an reached out to touch Xiao Lu’s rough skin, “Thank you for bringing us back.”
“Mm…”
Xiu translated resignedly on the side, thinking he’d teach An’an how to communicate with beasts later!
He didn’t want to be the translator anymore!
Shi An’an held out her palm, and Xiao Lu looked curiously.
Suddenly, a handful of clear, fragrant water appeared in her palm.
Xiao Lu perked up, moved to Shi An’an’s palm, and uncontrollably stuck out its tongue to lick.
“Awoo mm!”
Xiao Lu’s eyes lit up, lowered its head to Shi An’an’s palm, and drank the water.
Shi An’an provided a lot of water; when she noticed Xiao Lu’s stamina had recovered, she stopped.
“Mm?”
Xiao Lu licked Shi An’an’s palm, found no more water, and looked at her puzzled.
Xiu pulled Shi An’an’s hand over, said something to Xiao Lu, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hand.
