Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Weasel Tribe 4
Tu Shi looked deeply grateful as he said, "Thank you, Lady Saintess!"
Old Nike planned to guide Tu Shi away, but Su Tang stopped him. "Uncle Nike, you hold onto these spectacles. Wear them whenever you can to study the physical structure of the Beastmen. That way, if this happens again, you’ll know what to do."
Old Nike looked shocked and quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no! How could we? This holy object was bestowed upon the Saintess by the Holy Temple, it’s not for us to touch."
Su Tang sighed. These Beastmen could be perfectly lovely at times, but they could also be incredibly stubborn.
She grabbed Old Nike’s hand and placed the spectacles in it. "Didn’t you say it yourself? I am the Saintess. I’m now allowing you to have this holy object. Make sure not to break it though~"
There was a twinkle in Old Nike’s eyes and a complex expression on his face. After a brief hesitation, he accepted it without further refusal.
With utmost seriousness, he placed the spectacles in the basket on his back, "I will take good care of it and ensure no harm comes to it!"
Su Tang really wanted to explain that even if it gets lost or broken, it’s not an issue, she could always buy another.
But seeing how earnestly everyone was treating the situation, she decided to drop it.
Gaiyin took Su Tang’s hand tenderly, "Should we head back?"
After a moment, Su Tang hooked her arm in Gaiyin’s and smiled, "Or we could take a walk in the forest?"
Gaiyin was absolutely delighted.
The couple had a leisurely stroll in the forest. Honestly, it was far from idyllic, with the forest still showing signs of the earthquake and the heavy rains, parts of it even reduced to mud soup.
However, that didn’t affect their affectionate banter at all.
While they were walking, Su Tang spotted something gray and white, with a fluffy umbrella shape.
She stopped in her tracks and walked up to it excitedly, pointing it out to Gaiyin. "Look! I found mushrooms! These are edible and taste great! We should let the clan members harvest more. Once dried, they can be stored for a long time. When you want to eat them, just soak them in water. But remember, only pick the grey and white ones, as well as the brown ones! See that red one? Never eat the bright-colored mushrooms, they are usually the most toxic."
As she spoke, Su Tang picked a grey white mushroom and held it to her nose.
This freshly sprouted mushroom after the rain smelled remarkably good - fresh, light, and pleasing to the mind.
But from a distance, it looked like she was about to eat the mushroom.
"Whoosh——"
A whizzing sound cut through the air. Out of nowhere, a stone flew straight towards Su Tang. Luckily, Gaiyin reacted quickly and caught it!
In an instant, his demeanor hardened, eyes darting like arrows towards the direction from which the stone had come. With a firm squeeze, he crushed the stone into dust.
As he raised his other hand, he magically surrounded a tree not too far ahead with a wall of metal.
Su Tang looked at Gaiyin somewhat perplexed, then turned to the tree, and finally realized what was happening. She cheered excitedly, "Have you leveled up?"
Gaiyin nodded indifferently, "I’ve been practicing the cultivation methods you gave me, and I broke through to Level 5 yesterday!"
Su Tang’s eyes widened in disbelief,"How did you level up so quickly?"
"Even though I previously didn’t have any cultivation methods, I still persevered in my practice..."
