439 Do You Like Me a Little Bit More 2 (1/2)
She then ignored him and went to check out the wind caller. As it was badly injured, it was still crouching there, otherwise, it would have escaped earlier.
Its crouching position was rather strange. Though it could no longer support itself, its two fore hooves were still supporting it against the ground, as if afraid to trod on something.
When Gu Xijiu got nearer, it immediately whistled angrily while raising its head as if giving a warning.
However, as it was severely injured, its whistle was not as intimidating as before.
Gu Xijiu said, ”I’ll not hurt you; I only want to cure your wound.” She took out some medicine and showed it to the wind caller.
The wind caller did not show any appreciation but whistled again, this time taking its voice up a notch.
”Master, it said that you remind him of a weasel paying a courtesy visit to a chicken, albeitwith no good intention.” The mussel opened its shell in Gu Xijiu’s sleeve and translated lazily.
Gu Xijiu had a thought and pulled it out, ”You know how to speak the language of the beast? Come, be my translator and tell it that I will not make it surrender to be my mount. I’ll let it go immediately after I cure it.”
As soon as the mussel reached the ground, it went back to its original size - as big as a small house. It opened and closed its shell, drooling while staring at the windcaller, ”Master, it’s severely injured and is not able to recover in a short period of time. Besides, it does not appreciate your offering. It would be better if I eat it; its meat is very delicious…”
Gu Xijiu was annoyed and slapped on its shell, ”Eat it if you dare! Be careful, for I may turn you into stew!”
The mussel was unhappy, ”Master, you’re being partial…” It mumbled but it did translate Gu Xijiu's words to the wind caller.
It definitely added some of its own thoughts, ”You’re known as the wind caller, right? You're just able to run faster but you are still much poorer than I am! My master just got me, so how would she fancy you? She was just being kind, wanting to cure you. But you are so stubborn and not being grateful! If she had harboured any bad intentions, how would you be able to escape with your current condition? If you don’t even understand this, that's stupid of you, no?”
Its last words obviously hit the wind caller’s weak spot, which let its guard down and nodded towards Gu Xijiu.
