Chapter 332: Chapter 333: The Tyrant Flower Turns Back
Su Tang hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The Tyrant Flower grows near the Valley entrance, tucked away in a side corner.
Beastmen were always assigned to patrol near the entrance of the Valley to prevent wild beasts from straying in and causing harm.
Since there was nothing she could do to help with building the house, it was good enough that Gaiyin was overseeing it.
So she nodded, beckoned to Yaya and Erha, and said, "Let’s go. I’m going to take you for a walk outside the Valley."
The two little ones immediately cheered in excitement.
Su Tang, carrying the cub, went to where the Tyrant Flower was planted.
The Tyrant Flower was drooping sluggishly, looking dispirited.
It could feel that it was changing form, but it was so hungry. It didn’t have any energy to sustain its morphing process.
Its subconscious indicated that its fruit could attract prey to absorb their energy, but it hadn’t seen any prey for ages.
It missed Chouchou, the ugly one, whom it hadn’t seen for a long time, and the beautiful female who didn’t visit it either. It was so bored being a flower.
"Xiaoxiao..."
The Tyrant Flower twitched a bit.
Seemed like somebody was calling it?
It looked around but didn’t see anyone.
Sigh, it guessed it was hallucinating from hunger.
"Xiaoxiao..."
The voice seemed to get a bit louder. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Tyrant Flower stayed unmoving.
Since it was all in its head, why should it move and waste more energy?
So it lay there like a log, lazing under the sun.
The transformed cub became worried when it saw the Tyrant Flower hadn’t moved, and struggled down from Su Tang’s arms.
It toddled to the back of the Tyrant Flower, embracing its large petal, and began sobbing, "Xiaoxiao..."
Because it wasn’t used to the Beastman’s body yet, it couldn’t speak clearly, so it kept repeating the Tyrant Flower’s name, "Xiaoxiao...wail...Xiaoxiao..."
Su Tang was a bit stunned.
Seeing the cub’s panic, she thought some accident had occurred to the Tyrant Flower.
Right when she was about to say something, she saw the Tyrant Flower’s petal slowly turning toward them.
Su Tang: "..."
She suddenly remembered a joke she heard on Lan Planet.
We all know the sunflower’s corolla always follows the sun. But how does it turn back after sunset?
Someone said: after sunset, the sunflower would wait quietly. Then, when everyone was asleep, they would all swiftly turn back unnoticed.
She found that joke amusing when she first heard it, but confronted with such a scene now, she couldn’t really laugh.
The Tyrant Flower seemed to stiffen its stem unbelievably as it turned its corolla, taking in the sight of the sobbing Chouchou.
Its originally droopy leaves perked up instantly, shaking its petals, "Chouchou, you finally came! I thought you had abandoned me..."
Chouchou blinked in surprise, randomly wiping away the tears festooning its cheeks, hiccupping in the process.
"Chouchou, why are you crying? You look even uglier when you cry."
Chouchou protested, shaking its small fist, "No, no... didn’t... cry..."
At this moment, the Tyrant Flower also noticed Su Tang. As usual, it flashed her the little heart symbol.
Su Tang relaxed and smiled, "Good boy~"
Gaiya tugged at Su Tang’s sleeve, "Sister-in-law, can this big red flower understand us?"
Su Tang nodded, "Yes, it does understand us. And it can even transform into a person!"
