Chapter 98.1: Was Made Into a Hedgehog (1/2)

After she passed through the sea of flowers with the old beggar, an expanse of lush green bamboos appeared in her vision.

“Old… Old Gramps, what is this place?” Tang Doudou gazed at the green bamboo forest. A fresh breeze swept by, helping clear her head quite a bit.

The people that appeared here were definitely not simple characters.

This old beggar didn’t look as if he cared about his appearance and was the definition of sloppy. Not to mention, his little eyes were exceptionally vulgar. However, surprisingly his expression didn’t change even the slightest bit during the earlier situation. If he wasn’t a fool, then he was definitely a highly skilled martial arts expert.

A fool wouldn’t warn her that the old woman would return, so this old beggar was definitely an expert!

Tang Doudou rubbed her chin. The expression in her eyes changed as she looked at the old beggar again. All the novels wrote it this way: most hidden experts are foodies and would become captivated by the pig-feets’G (protagonists) grilled fish, roasted ducks, and other cooked foods. Then, they teach the pig-feets all their greatest skills in return. From then on, the pig-feets step onto the broad and open road of conquering the world!

Could it be that she, Tang Doudou, was finally starting to carry a pig-feet aura as well!?

As Tang Doudou imagined what kind of unrivaled godly martial arts the old beggar would teach her, she looked around the area. Thus, she didn’t even notice when the old beggar in front of her disappeared from her view.

When she realized it, she also realized that she was lost.

“Da fudge? This is too ‘extreme joy turns to sorrow’!” Tang Doudou wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. When she patted the stalk of bamboo next to her, yellow dried leaves fell onto her head with ‘hualala’s, reflecting her current state of sorrow.

There was pretty much the same amount of bamboo growing all around and she didn’t even know the cardinal directions. How was she supposed to get out?

After being depressed for a while, Tang Doudou resigned herself to wandering around blindly in the bamboo forest. Based on the scene of the valley she saw outside, this bamboo forest probably wasn’t that big. Getting out would probably take nothing but some effort.

She just hoped that she wouldn’t encounter that crazy one-eyed old woman again in the forest.

“I have a little donkey, which I’ve never rode(iii)…T/N” Tang Doudou’s mood recovered pretty fast and soon she was skipping through the forest while singing a tune. From time to time, she saw fresh bamboo shoots beneath the bamboo stalks, but after the incident with that old woman, she didn’t dare to casually take ingredients from the valley anymore. She could only cover her eyes with bamboo leaves to stop her coveting.

“Haa, wonder if Baili Yu found Cang Baicao yet?”

After walking a while, Tang Doudou began to worry about Baili Yu again. What was going to happen with his damned illness if he didn’t find Cang Baicao?

Tang Doudou believed that she wasn’t concerned about Baili Yu, but worried about whether the illness that even Baili Yu couldn’t do anything about was something left over by the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance. If that was the case, would the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance in her body also cause this?
