Chapter 210 - Little Squido (2/2)
In the lotus pond, Little Squido grew in size with a “whoosh”. It was now around two or three meters long, which was massive. Nonetheless, it could not compare to Little Wingsy’s actual form.
“Heh heh, I’m much bigger, but Big Brother Ye Chen said that I mustn’t simply transform, so I can’t show you.” Little Wingsy was somewhat gloomy.
Little Squido looked rather disappointed and resumed its initial size, swimming across the water’s surface.
“Little Squido, do you want something to eat? I have many delicious food.” Little Wingsy gave it some thought, then took out a Purple-gold Divine Pill from his Heaven-Earth Pouch. Currently, he only had six Purple-gold Divine Pills left in his Heaven-Earth Pouch. Although he was a little reluctant, he steeled his resolve and took out a Purple-gold Divine Pill.
When Little Wingsy took out the Purple-gold Divine Pill, Little Squido seemed to smell something and fixed its round eyes on the Purple-gold Divine Pill Little Wingsy was holding. It gazed at Little Wingsy impatiently with a greedy look.
“This is a Purple-gold Divine Pill made from the Purple-gold Divine Fish that we caught from that lake. Little Squido, do you know the Purple-gold Divine Fish? It shared the same lake as you,” Little Wingsy said.
Little Squido nodded energetically. Although they had been in the same lake, it was not able to catch the Purple-gold Divine Fish and had never tasted its flesh.
“Here, eat this.” Little Wingsy handed the Purple-gold Divine Pill to Little Squido. Little Squido’s tentacle curled around the Purple-gold Divine Pill and stuffed it into its mouth. The pill was soon devoured.
After finishing the Purple-gold Divine Pill, Little Squido happily flopped around in the water.
“Delicious, right?” Little Wingsy asked with a grin.
Little Squido hurriedly nodded, staring at Little Wingsy with wide eyes.
“You’re such a chowhound. I don’t have any more with me.” Little Wingsy spread out his hands, thinking secretly, ‘As if I’ll tell Little Squido that I still have five Purple-gold Divine Pills in my Heaven-Earth Pouch. I’d better eat those Purple-gold Divine Pills secretly.’
When Ye Chen’s Astral Body overheard Little Wingsy’s words, he could not help laughing. Little Wingsy had the nerve to call someone else a chowhound. Who else could compare to Little Wingsy in terms of eating?
Little Squido looked at Little Wingsy pitifully. After eating the Purple-gold Divine Pill, its skin shone with a faint, red luster as if some changes had taken place. Ye Chen was rather taken aback. Could medicinal pills like the Purple-gold Divine Pill advance the growth of Little Squido? After Ye Chen had retracted his Astral Body, he was absorbed once more in his cultivation.
When Little Wingsy noticed Little Squido’s expression, he felt a little sheepish.
“Little Squido, don’t look at me like that. I’ll give you some Soul-amassing Pills and Soul-consolidating Pills to eat,” Little Wingsy said after some thought.
Soul-amassing Pills and Soul-consolidating Pills? Little Squido was at a loss but upon hearing the word “eat”, it still nodded quickly.
Little Wingsy took out some Soul-amassing Pills and Soul-consolidating Pills from his Heaven-Earth Pouch then opened his hand.
An enticing smell drifted over, causing Little Squido’s gaze to land on Little Wingsy’s hand without moving away. These medicinal pills were the bait that had caused Little Squido to be caught by Ye Chen from Lake Nekros, but it truly found it difficult to resist this temptation.
Little Squido stretched out a tentacle and swept up these pills, stuffing them all into its mouth. Eleven Soul-amassing Pills and six Soul-consolidating Pills disappeared down its gullet in a flash.
“Big Brother Ye Chen said that we mustn’t eat too many of these pills at a time. That’s your quota for today.” Little Wingsy patted Little Squido’s head.
Little Squido flopped around joyfully in the water.
“Little Squido, shall we play kickball?” Little Wingsy looked at Little Squido’s round body and was suddenly inspired.
Kickball? Little Squido was bewildered once again. What did kickball mean?
As Little Wingsy spoke, he plucked out Little Squido from the water.
“Little Squido, curl up into a ball,” Little Wingsy said.
Little Squido promptly pulled in all its tentacles. Little Wingsy placed it on the ground, got off to a running start, and kicked swiftly. With a “whoosh”, Little Squido flew up and away over dozens of meters. It bounced off the wall, landed on the ground, and continued rolling for a few meters.
Little Wingsy rushed over, clapping and excitedly exclaiming, “Little Squido, you’re wonderful!”
Little Squido opened its eyes and nodded rapidly. It beamed until its eyes curved up into a thin line.
“Let’s continue playing.”
Thud, thud, thud. Little Squido flew from one side to the other, and back again.
No matter how hard Little Wingsy kicked, Little Squido would not be hurt. Both fellows played in great merriment.
