Chapter 266: Encounter in the Forest, The Elegant White Tiger (1)
“Treasure-seeking beast?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the furball. She had never known that such a beast existed in the world, but it sounded pretty good.
“Big Sister, I didn’t expect there to be a treasure-seeking beast here.” Qing Jue’s voice sounded in Leng Ruoxue’s mind.
“Qing Jue, have you heard of this thing?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“Yes. One hundred thousand years ago, treasure-seeking beasts were the dreams of everyone. But there are basically no more people who know about these beasts now. Moreover, treasure-seeking beasts have long been extinct. This should be the only treasure-seeking beast left. Big Sister, you have to think of a way to tame it. That way, all the good treasures in the future will be ours,” Qing Jue said excitedly.
“Uh!” Cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead. How did Qing Jue become such a money-grubber? But he was right. If she didn’t accept such a good thing, wouldn’t others benefit from it?
“Qing Jue, how can I tame it?” Leng Ruoxue was in a dilemma. This little thing seemed very unfriendly!
“Big Sister, its favorite thing is treasures, so try seducing it with treasures,” Qing Jue suggested after some thought.
“Treasures?” Leng Ruoxue frowned in thought. But after thinking about it, she realized that she actually didn’t have any treasure she could take out. Her best treasure was the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, but she couldn’t take it out unless this little thing was willing to enter it.
Leng Ruoxue pondered for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out a spirit fruit, and took a bite. Alas! Forget it. I’ll give it a try! Hopefully, it will be useful.
But after waiting for a while, the little thing didn’t even look at her…
Leng Ruoxue could only take out a fruit with richer spiritual energy and eat it.
The yellow and fluffy furball seemed to have smelled the fruit. Its small body moved slightly, but not a lot.
But the little thing’s willingness to respond was already great encouragement to Leng Ruoxue. She continued working hard and directly took out a nearly transparent white fruit. As soon as she took out this fruit, she saw a yellow bolt of lightning quickly pouncing over. By the time everyone reacted, the yellow furball had already appeared in Leng Ruoxue’s hand. The little furball hugged the fruit tightly, as though it had discovered a treasure and refused to let go no matter what.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the small furball close-up and realized that it had a nose and a mouth. They were tiny and covered by its fur, so they weren’t easy to notice. Not only that, but the little guy also had a pair of fluffy little wings and a pair of pink and soft little paws. But they were hidden in the furry body, so from the outside, it looked like a furball with big black eyes.
“Treasure, treasure.” A childish voice kept coming out of the yellow furball’s mouth, sounding very happy.
“Big Sister has many such treasures. You can have as many as you want as long as you are willing to follow Big Sister,” Leng Ruoxue said seductively like the big bad wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood.
“Really?” The furball looked at Leng Ruoxue with its big and round black eyes shining brightly.
“Big Sister doesn’t lie to children!” Leng Ruoxue said very sincerely with a smile on her face.
“Then I want to eat one of these fruits every day.” The furball began to state its conditions. It ate heavenly materials and earthly treasures as its food. Otherwise, it wouldn’t like to look for treasures.
“There’s absolutely no problem,” Leng Ruoxue promised. But she was puzzled. Isn’t this little thing afraid of exploding and dying? The amount of spiritual energy in this fruit was so unimaginable that she didn’t even dare to eat it.
“But you have to listen to Big Sister from now on,” Leng Ruoxue added.
“Yes. I know a lot of treasures,” the furball said ingratiatingly. Finding treasures was its specialty, and it could also improve its strength.
After speaking, the little furball actively initiated a soul contract with Leng Ruoxue.
“I’ll call you Ball Ball from now on!” Leng Ruoxue said as she looked at its round body.
“I have a name!” Ball Ball started flying around Leng Ruoxue happily. But its chubby little body was really disproportionate to its pair of small wings. Everyone watched it in fear, afraid that it would fall from the air.
“Hehe, girl, not bad. It will be much easier to find treasures in the future.” Butterfly stopped on Leng Ruoxue’s head and praised her.
“Okay, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and pick the herbs!” Leng Ruoxue urged. She really didn’t know how long it would take to gather so many herbs.
“Big Sister, I’ll help you.” Ball Ball stopped on Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder after it had enough of flying.
“Uh, okay.” Although Leng Ruoxue didn’t think that this little thing could help, she couldn’t object to it in order not to hurt the immature spirit of a child!
In order to showcase its abilities, Ball Ball flew in the sky above a patch of herbs nearby. Starlight would spill out wherever it went. Immediately afterward, herbs emerged from the ground in groups…
Uh! For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Wh-what ability was this? It was really unbelievable… A third of the herbs were gathered in the blink of an eye.
Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words. Boohoo… She knew that she had guessed wrong again. The things in the mystic realm really couldn’t be measured by common sense.
“Big Sister, I need to rest.” Ball Ball landed on Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder while panting.
“Okay, good. Let’s not rush!” Leng Ruoxue said anxiously when she saw that Ball Ball was exhausted. She handed it a fruit it liked.
“Hehe, thanks, Big Sister.” Ball Ball hugged the fruit almost the size of its body with its little paws and began gnawing on it.
Leng Qingtian walked to his granddaughter’s side and said with satisfaction, “Xue’er, this little fellow is really good!”
“Little Girl, we can save a lot of trouble in the future with this little thing!” Old Man also came over.
