Chapter 160: The Value of a Simp is Still Rising
Hearing Da Ming’s question, Xiao Wu turned to look at Da Ming, her expression a little speechless. Even if her aura was hidden, he shouldn’t fail to recognize her, right?
“Da Ming, you really disappoint me. We’ve lived together for so many years, and you actually don’t recognize me?”
“I even thought about you when I was out! I’m sad, really too sad! Er Ming is still better; he recognized me right away!”
When Er Ming heard Xiao Wu say he was good, he immediately wagged his head excitedly at Da Ming, roaring continuously. From his appearance, he was probably mocking him quite unpleasantly.
Da Ming’s eyes showed embarrassment. He hid his head under the water and then flicked his tail, hitting Er Ming on the head, signaling him to shut up quickly.
“Ha, ha, Big Sister Xiao Wu, actually I recognized you too. It’s just that all the Spirit Beast aura on you is gone, and I was just afraid of mistaking you!”
While Da Ming was making excuses, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Big Sister Xiao Wu could appear with this human, and judging by the situation, trusted him greatly, then they should be out of danger.
That’s right, even if Gu Yuena said they wouldn’t be harmed, Da Ming was still a bit skeptical, because he knew very well how much attraction a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone held for human Spirit Masters.
But Gu Yuena’s aura left him no room to object; he could only obediently agree.
After Da Ming finished speaking, Xiao Wu chuckled, broke free from Bai Yu’s embrace, and ran to Da Ming’s ox head, unleashing a barrage of words.
“Heh, you recognized me? How come I don’t believe it? You recognized me but didn’t greet me? I treat you like a little brother, but you treat me like an idiot, right?”
“I’m telling you, Da Ming, Big Sister Xiao Wu is angry, the kind that can’t be appeased! You stay away from me in the future, don’t expect me to talk to you!”
Although Xiao Wu scolded him fiercely, Da Ming still stretched out his body and leaned over. A fawning expression actually appeared on his massive ox head.
Immediately, Da Ming continuously said good things and apologized in various ways, barely managing to appease Xiao Wu.
And Er Ming was still laughing occasionally from behind, patting his chest, looking like he was enjoying the show and egging them on.
This scene greatly opened Bai Yu’s eyes. He only felt that the value of the term “simp” was constantly rising, and it transcended species!
After a while, Bai Yu lightly coughed, interrupting their reunion, and said:
“Cough, Xiao Wu, you and Da Ming can chat first. As for Er Ming, sit down and don’t move. Later, I will probe your body with spirit power. Don’t resist. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
“Roar!”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Er Ming roared, nodded at Bai Yu, and then obediently sat down on the ground.
He was so obedient not only because of Gu Yuena’s instructions, but also because his intuition told him that this human had no ill intentions towards him.
Compared to Er Ming, Da Ming’s intelligence was higher, and his thirst for knowledge was stronger, so he was very curious about the reason for Bai Yu’s actions.
“This… Sir, may I ask the reason for your actions?”
Da Ming’s tone of voice was a bit awkward. Although he felt that humans were not good, the Sir in the forbidden area called Bai Yu a friend, so he dared not overstep his bounds.
Bai Yu waved his hand, walked behind Er Ming, reached out and pressed his hand on its steel-needle-like fur, and began to input spirit power to explore.
“Ask Xiao Wu; she knows too. Let her tell you.”
Da Ming’s eyes lit up. He looked at Xiao Wu, wanting his Big Sister Xiao Wu to enlighten him.
Xiao Wu snorted, wanting to mock him a bit, but seeing Da Ming’s pitiful gaze, she still softened and then began to explain the Soul Convergence Seal.
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Da Ming had unconsciously pulled his entire body out of the lake, his eyes filled with extreme shock.
“Unbelievable! There’s actually such a strange thing in the world? It can generate a spirit ring without hunting a Spirit Beast? How is that possible?”
When Er Ming saw his big brother was shocked, he also clapped his hands along. Although he didn’t understand, he would be the hype man!
But his movement directly messed up Bai Yu’s exploration. Immediately, Bai Yu helplessly slapped him twice.
“Hey, Er Ming, don’t move. If you move, I’ll have to start over. Not only does it waste time, but you’ll also have to keep sitting here.”
Er Ming immediately became obedient when he heard that if he moved, he would have to keep sitting.
At this moment, Xiao Wu covered her ears, her expression annoyed, and she looked up and roared at Da Ming:
“Don’t yell so loudly! Do you want to deafen Big Sister Xiao Wu’s ears? Don’t you know my current strength is very weak?!”
Da Ming, who was scolded by Xiao Wu, also wilted. He hid his body back in the lake, only revealing his ox head, and quietly discussed the Soul Convergence Seal with Xiao Wu.
By the time Bai Yu finished recording Er Ming’s Spirit Power Operation Route, it was already afternoon, approaching evening.
“Bai Yu, are we returning to Heaven Dou City today, or staying here for a night?”
Xiao Wu looked at Bai Yu, who was lying on the grass resting, walked over and asked in a low voice.
Bai Yu opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Wu, reached out and plucked a blade of grass, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.
“We’re not going back today. I see you don’t want to go back so soon either. Let’s stay here for two days.”
“Besides, the scenery here is nice and refreshing. It’s good to relax here, but it’s a pity there’s no place to stay.”
Hearing Bai Yu say they weren’t going back today, Xiao Wu’s face showed an excited smile, and she shook her head, saying:
“There is a place to stay! I’ll take you there; it’s not far from here!”
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, ‘I was waiting for you to say that.’
Of course, he knew there was a place to stay here. Otherwise, where did Xiao Wu and her mother live before? They couldn’t just sleep on the grass, right?
Immediately, Bai Yu stretched, stood up, and said:
“Then let’s go. Take me over. Having a place to stay is always better than sleeping outdoors.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Xiao Wu happily led Bai Yu to her home.
After the two left, Da Ming’s head quietly surfaced from the lake. Looking at their backs, he sighed.
“Alas, Big Sister Xiao Wu combining with a human, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse. But since she has transformed into human form, there’s no other choice…”
After a while, Bai Yu and Xiao Wu arrived at a small wooden house not far from Life Lake, surrounded by a small fenced yard.
“Look, this is where I used to live! How is it, not bad, right?”
Xiao Wu pointed at the wooden house with one hand and tugged at Bai Yu’s arm with the other, introducing it with a hint of excitement.
Bai Yu didn’t dampen her spirits and nodded with a smile. Although the wooden house wasn’t big, it was very exquisite, showing that it was built with great care.
And it hadn’t been lived in for many years, yet no weeds had grown, and the wood hadn’t rotted. It should be the result of Da Ming and Er Ming’s regular maintenance.
After the two entered the house, Xiao Wu looked around and touched things, recalling her memories of being there before, her expression melancholic.
Bai Yu’s actions, however, were quite direct. He went straight to the wooden bed in the room, took out two sets of bedding from his spirit tool, spread one out, covered himself with the other, and lay down with a peaceful expression, closing his eyes.
