Chapter 247: Chapter 248: Destroyed
Not wanting the conversation to continue revolving around her, Su Tang quickly diverted everyone’s attention.
"Eh? Xionger, what are you holding in your hand? Are you planning to give it to Liu Ye?"
At these words, Liu Ye’s face suddenly turned red. She came over to Su Tang’s side, half-clinging to her arm, and whispered, "Tangtang, don’t talk nonsense~"
Su Tang’s lips were practically overflowing with a smile.
Xionger was holding a branch of peaches, from which hung two large peaches. They looked ripe and juicy, absolutely mouth-watering.
Upon hearing Su Tang’s words, Xionger’s face also reddened. However, due to his thick skin and slightly dark complexion, it wasn’t very noticeable.
He was holding the branch of peaches, obviously wanting to give it to Liu Ye, but he seemed so hesitant that Su Tang became anxious for him.
Just when he finally mustered up the courage and was about to say something,
Xiongda’s loud voice came from behind, "Xionger, what are you up to? Are you not tired from carrying that Sabertooth Beast on your back?"
And so, Su Tang watched as Xionger’s courage, which he had struggled to summon, was suddenly extinguished by Xiongda.
She silently cursed Xiongda for his poor timing.
Xiongda, completely oblivious, took a step forward. He unloaded the Sabertooth Beast from Xionger’s shoulder in a big-brotherly manner.
Only then did he notice Su Tang and Gaiyin, upon which he blinked in surprise, scratching his head in a silly manner.
"Chief, Holy Maiden, you’re also here! Eh, why is Liu Ye here too?"
It was only after he noticed the dark expression on Xionger’s face and the branch of peaches in his hand that he finally understood!
He suddenly smacked Xionger’s back. Caught off guard, Xionger stumbled, nearly falling right in front of Liu Ye.
"Well done, Xionger! When I couldn’t find you earlier, I had no idea you were secretly picking fruit for Liu Ye!"
Su Tang shook her head helplessly, unable to bear the sight.
This Xiongda was really clueless. He had no awareness at all.
Xionger’s eyes were practically spitting fire. If he wasn’t trying to make a good impression in front of Liu Ye, he would have already charged at Xiongda.
"Shut your mouth! Can’t you stop talking for a moment!"
Xiongda’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Xionger, I’m your brother. Is that how you speak to your brother?" 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Xionger got angry and violently threw the branch of peaches he was going to give to Liu Ye on the ground.
He glared at Xiongda fiercely, "You have the nerve to call yourself my brother? Do you even know how to act like one?"
Xiongda too got angry!
He was already looking for Xionger when he got back, and when he found him standing here with the Sabertooth Beast, he felt concerned for him. But Xionger thought of him this way!
As the conflict between the two was about to erupt, Su Tang sensed something going awry. She pulled Liu Ye aside, "Shh... Let’s go somewhere else. By the way, Liu Ye, how was your gathering today?"
Liu Ye glanced back.
Xiongda and Xionger had already begun wrestling in the grass, the sounds of their scuffles making one’s teeth hurt.
Hearing Su Tang’s question, she answered somewhat absent-mindedly, "It went well. Aunt Hongguo paired me up with Old Nike and we found many herbs nearby. We also found that seasoning you discovered in the tribe, what was it called?"
"Onions, ginger, and garlic?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We found lots of onions, ginger, and garlic! So we dug them up, roots and all, and brought them back covered in soil. Old Nike said this would keep them fresh for longer..."
