Chapter 178: Asking For Mint
Shi An’an looked at Xiu communicating with this Star Beast, curiously and wanting to laugh. In her eyes, this person spoke human language, while the beast spoke beast language—it was so funny, hahaha…
Just like that, the person and the beast went back and forth with questions and answers for a long time before stopping.
After the Star Beast answered the two-legged beast’s questions, it looked expectantly at the green plants in his hand.
Xiu, expressionless and without any shame, calmly put away the Mint.
“Aow aow aow aow…”
The Star Beast watched wide-eyed as the good-smelling green plants disappeared, fuming with rage as it aow-aowed at Xiu.
Seeing that the two-legged beast in front of it refused to take out the green plants, it angrily headbutted his body, trying to make him bring them out.
However, Xiu just wouldn’t take them out.
As a result…
“Roar!”
The Star Beast threw its head back and roared loudly. In an instant, all the surrounding Star Beasts stopped and looked over here together.
“Roar!”
The Star Beast roared again, and all the Star Beasts got up and walked toward them.
Shi An’an saw this and hurriedly asked Xiu, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“Roar!”
The Star Beast in front of them charged at the two of them in a fury.
“Run!”
Shi An’an grabbed Xiu and turned to run.
As soon as the two started running, the leading Star Beast got even angrier and chased after them.
The Star Beasts behind quickly caught up.
Shi An’an looked at the Star Beasts relentlessly chasing behind them, grabbed Xiu, and soared into the air, flying up into the sky.
However, among this group of Star Beasts, there were some that could Fly, and they flew straight up, trying to grab them.
Shi An’an flung out Vines, binding the Star Beasts approaching them.
“Bang!”
The bound Star Beast plummeted straight to the ground.
“Aow…”
Seeing this scene, the leading Star Beast was completely enraged.
“Roar!”
In an instant, the Star Beasts began to Attack the two of them.
“Wait, what’s going on? Did your communication fail?” Shi An’an quickly pulled Xiu to dodge the Attacks while asking.
Xiu was pulled by Shi An’an to dodge, his expression somewhat uneasy.
“That…”
“This way!”
Shi An’an spotted a large patch of Trichosanthes ahead, her eyes lighting up as she pulled Xiu into the Trichosanthes.
“Roar!”
Sure enough, upon arriving here, the Star Beasts stopped. They looked disdainfully at the Trichosanthes in front of them and retreated a bit.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The leading Star Beast roared at this patch of Trichosanthes, stomped its feet, and finally left reluctantly.
The other Star Beasts followed and left the area.
After all the Star Beasts had left, Shi An’an came out and glanced at Xiu, who had been silent beside her. “What happened?”
“…” Xiu said with an unnatural expression, “After our communication ended, it wanted my Mint…”
“That’s it?” Shi An’an looked at Xiu suspiciously.
Xiu nodded stiffly. “Yeah, earlier it only communicated with me because it saw the Mint.”
“Then why didn’t you give it to it? If you agreed, you have to give it to them. If it were me, I’d be angry too.”
“I didn’t agree to give it to it. I just took it out!”
Shi An’an: “…”
She looked at Xiu curiously and circled around him once.
Xiu’s body stiffened. “Wh-what’s wrong?”
Shi An’an smiled and said, “Nothing, it’s just that I’ve never seen you like this before. Hmm… a bit childish, hahaha…”
Xiu looked at Shi An’an and asked seriously, “Do you think I should give that pot of Mint to that Star Beast?”
“Hmm?”
Shi An’an noticed Xiu’s displeasure, thought for a moment, and tentatively said, “No…” right?
Hearing Shi An’an say no, Xiu’s expression improved, and he took out the pot of Mint.
“This is the pot of Mint you gave me back then.” So, I’ve been cherishing it and won’t give it to anyone!
Shi An’an looked at the Mint held in Xiu’s hands and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Xiu looked up deeply at Shi An’an. “So, I won’t give it to that Star Beast—or anyone!”
“…” Shi An’an looked into Xiu’s eyes, her heart pounding, feeling a bit flustered. She quickly looked away toward the pot of Mint.
“Oh, the Leaves of this pot of Mint seem a bit yellow. Let me take a look…”
Shi An’an hurriedly reached out and took the Mint, watering it a bit, loosening the soil, and channeling some Spiritual Power into it.
After doing all this, looking at the lush, fragrant Mint, Shi An’an’s heart finally calmed down.
Xiu kept watching Shi An’an, watching her panickedly take away the Mint, watching her hand tremble slightly, watching her…
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the leading Star Beast appeared in front of the two of them.
The Star Beast’s appearance broke the invisible awkwardness between the two.
Seeing this Star Beast, both of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
The Star Beast had a look of “caught you, huh” on its face, especially when it saw the Mint in Shi An’an’s hand, and it excitedly ran toward her.
Shi An’an handed the Mint to Xiu, and Xiu immediately put away his Mint.
“Woo aow? Roar roar roar…”
Seeing the Mint put away again, the Star Beast aow-aowed in anger.
Shi An’an walked up to the angry Star Beast.
“Roar!”
Seeing this two-legged beast daring to approach it, the Star Beast roared angrily at her.
Shi An’an used her Spiritual Power to block in front of herself, successfully blocking the Saliva the Star Beast sprayed at her while roaring.
Sensing the comfortable Spiritual Power, the Star Beast stopped, approached Shi An’an, and sniffed her.
Shi An’an reached out her hand, and the Star Beast stared at her hand, unsure what she was going to do.
Shi An’an’s eyes held a smile as she opened her hand, revealing Mint Seeds in her palm.
The next second, the Seeds in her palm sprouted, and a cluster of cute, tightly packed Mint appeared in Shi An’an’s palm.
That cluster of Mint perfectly filled Shi An’an’s palm, looking exceptionally cute.
“Aow”
The Star Beast saw the good-smelling green plants suddenly appear in Shi An’an’s palm, happily leaned in to sniff, its eyes lighting up—so fragrant, so comfortable!
“For you.” Shi An’an looked at the Star Beast and said.
The Star Beast tilted its head, somewhat puzzled, and looked toward the two-legged beast behind it.
Xiu’s mouth twitched; he understood what this guy meant—it wanted him to Translate…
“She wants to give you this green plant,” Xiu said helplessly to the Star Beast.
“Roar!”
The Star Beast still held a grudge against this two-legged beast for deceiving it earlier and roared angrily at Xiu.
Then, it fawningly approached Shi An’an.
Shi An’an took the Mint from her palm and handed it to the Star Beast.
The Star Beast happily and carefully took the Mint in its mouth from Shi An’an’s hand, glanced at Shi An’an, and turned to leave.
Shi An’an watched the Star Beast bounce away happily, and she felt happy inside too.
“It seems the Star Beasts here have no hostility toward humans.”
Xiu walked over, his eyes also on the Star Beast’s retreating figure. “Yes, I just asked it why they are in this Place…”
Shi An’an looked up curiously. “Did it say?”
