C52 (1/2)

”Whether it's an enemy or a friend, a human or a beast is actually not that important. Everything is going well, yet we have to get to the bottom of it.” Susu couldn't help but laugh. She was like an old man who knew a lot about the world and had obviously read his mind.

”Ai, ai, this isn't good. It's as if I've been seen through by you. I say, don't always change your appearance to that of someone who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, otherwise …” Fan Mu quickly shut his mouth, almost dropping the old habit of making fun of him.

”Alright, I came to save you out of good intentions, but you're talking about me, you, you, I'm going to ignore you.” Susu pretended to be angry as she turned her head, wanting to see the reaction of this pretty head. As she expected, Fan Mu immediately became as if he had lost his soul, thinking that he had accidentally hurt her heart, after all, other than Aunt Redbud, Fan Mu had never interacted with a girl.

”Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. It's true. Whatever, I'll show you something good. Hehe.” Susu turned around and made a face at Fan Mu. She then raised her right hand to show him the treasure in her hand, ”How is it?”

”Isn't that the petals of the Golden Edge Fragrance? How did you get them?” Fan Mu's eyes shone with a golden light. He knew that the thick Acidic Fog was like a bottomless abyss, but it was difficult to escape.

They gave it to me, idiot, ”Saying this, she pointed at the swamp beneath her feet with her right hand, which was a dark gold marsh frog. The frog in the marsh cried out in response, and the girl stared at it with her obsidian eyes wide open as she stressed,” Next time, you are not allowed to bully them. Hmph, there is one more thing, when you take the spirit grass, you are not allowed to take it.

”Hahaha, well said,” Susu's serious words made Fan Mu start. He thought to himself, a long time in the mountains gives a girl the ability to communicate with spirit beasts, it's really amazing, err, but it's only right, after all, she's a person who can see through people's hearts.

”What are you laughing at? If you keep fooling around in the forest, I won't care about you anymore. Hmph,” Susu said rudely. It was unknown if she was serious or just faking it.

”It's nothing, I know you care about me.” Fan Mu raised his eyebrows and pretended to be fearless.

The girl shyly lowered her head, and softly as a mosquito, she said, ”I hate you, I'm going to ignore you.” He then turned around and sped out of the forest.

”Uh, don't leave me behind.” Fan Mu hurriedly followed up, not expecting such a huge reaction.

”...”

A cool breeze blew, yet the water was still calm. Not far away, the fragrance of flowers wafted through the air. This was the special flower that could be found at the edge of the Pond of the Crescent Moon.

Fan Mu struggled to keep up with Susu while stepping on the waves. He did not forget to ask her, ”I'll tell you what happened to them later.”

”Hmph. When they came to save you, you only remembered them.” Susu's anger didn't seem to have subsided. When she heard Fan Mu's words, she got even angrier.

”This,” He was completely helpless without having interacted with the girl before, so he could only calm down and let the girl calm down first, ”Susu, don't be angry, I know I can't talk, I must have been stimulated by the acid fog just now, don't talk nonsense.”

”Tsk, do you think that's all? If you dare injure those innocent Spirit Beasts again, I'll give you face if I say I won't give you face.” The girl's tone was a bit heavy. It did not sound like she was faking it. She must have been truly incensed.

So the girl thought that Fan Mu's impulse was to intentionally hurt the spirit beasts. After hearing Fan Mu's explanation, Fan Mu hurriedly explained, ”I, I, I really didn't hurt them, so I used a wooden cage to trap their movements. I didn't do anything else, I, I also did it to save those people.”

Susu stopped walking and looked at Fan Mu, asking, ”Really?”
