Chapter 302 Visit
A ray of light appeared in the dark world, connecting with the sliver of sky, and slowly expanded. Bach opened his eyes groggily.
"you're awake?"
A pale green bird wearing a white coat hovered in my field of vision, and a faint smell of disinfectant wafted into my nose.
Bach sat up in a daze. The white wallpaper and floor, the dripping instruments beside him, and the ointment on his body that exuded a refreshing scent made this look like Flower Bird's clinic.
"I'm still alive?"
Bach felt as if he were in a dream. In his daze, the flower bird opened the door of the clinic and called out.
"The patient has woken up."
——Hurrah!
Two snake-like figures suddenly darted in from outside the door, and Bach was surrounded before he could react.
"You're finally awake, kid. You smelled like meat after being hit by the sword, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."
Yongye circled around him twice, her tone ambiguous, it was hard to tell whether she was delighted or annoyed by the return of the third wheel.
Lord Baling swam forward, his concern much more genuine.
Suddenly, her previously sluggish mind, which had been dulled by the memory of her former lover, was brought to tears. "Waaah, Master! I thought I was going to die there!"
He immediately rushed forward, his body coiling around the white snake, causing Baling Jun to tumble down before he could react.
"Hey! How can you get along with your master like this? He only has me to pester!"
Yongye was immediately displeased. He rushed up, flicked his tail, and forcibly separated Bach by strangling his neck. The dragon's eyes rolled back as he was strangled!
"Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle, I'm still injured! Master, save me!"
"Even if you're injured now, it's not okay! Besides, the doctor said your injuries are healed!"
The situation between the master and his apprentice was extremely chaotic, and then two more figures walked into the clinic.
Xiaohang carried his ever-present trident, while Puss in Boots held the script.
"director?"
Bach, who was wrestling with his master's wife, was stunned for a moment, and the next instant he was knocked down by Yongye's tail!
"Ouch!"
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around." Balingjun subdued the two troublemakers in the blink of an eye.
Bach was forced to stand in front of Puss in Boots by having his head pressed down.
“You were seriously injured at the time, and the director stopped filming when he noticed the commotion and brought you to the clinic.”
"Huh? Oh, thank you, director!" Bahe realized what was happening and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Puss in Boots nodded. "It's alright, I support you in your tribulation. We can film the next part after you transform into a dragon."
"Uh."
Bach's expression suddenly froze, and the image of being struck by three bolts of lightning and rendered unable to take care of himself flashed through his mind!
"W-wh-can I not go through this? Suddenly I feel like being a dragon is pretty good."
Balingjun frowned and instantly whipped his tail to choke him.
"You unfilial disciple! That's not what you told your master back then!"
"Gah gah gah? I was wrong, Master, I was wrong!"
……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Huajiao walked out of the village chief's courtyard and turned back to politely say thank you.
"Thank you for letting me stay for the night. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."
At the entrance of the courtyard, the old goat leaned on his cane, stroking his beard with a smile. "Oh, no need to thank me. It is truly an honor for my humble home that a divine beast like you can stay here for the night."
"When you have free time, come to the village more often to chat and stroll around."
"Yes, yes." The big tree in the yard swayed and leaned against the wall, revealing a strange-looking face on its trunk.
"If you want to repay this kindness, come and fertilize the tree more often. I, the tree, am the old village chief's spiritual root. Repaying me is repaying the village chief!"
"Go away, go away, go away! What business is it of yours? Don't think I don't know what you mean by 'fertilizing'! I may be old, but I'm not senile!"
The old goat, annoyed, swung his cane and banged on the wall to drive the towering tree back.
Yesterday, when Huajiao came to stay with Meimei because she had nowhere to live, this old tree shamelessly tricked her into paying his rent and fertilizing!
The old goat felt utterly humiliated.
"Ah... there's no need for that, after all, that's their kind of food." Huajiao grinned awkwardly, trying to smooth things over.
The old goat put down his cane, took a couple of breaths, then forced a smile and turned around.
"I have already contacted the mountain god of this area. He will help you find a good place to stay. Let me take you there."
"Well, you're too old for that, you don't need to force yourself, I can go by myself."
The towering tree behind the courtyard wall rolled its eyes, its gaze reaching straight to its crown, but after thinking for a moment, it said nothing.
"Well, alright, I won't see you off with my old bones."
The two outside quickly ended their conversation. As soon as the old goat returned, he glared at the Sky Tree and snorted heavily as he tapped his cane on the ground.
……
Sichuan peppercorns here.
When he arrived at the village entrance, he saw the little sparrow waiting there.
The slender white cat looked up at him, the little red flower on its head swaying, and then patted its chest boldly.
"You're the guy the village chief was talking about, right? My name is Little Sparrow. Don't worry, the village chief already told me he'll definitely find you a good job!"
"Ah, thank you very much then." Huajiao nodded with a strange expression.
—I almost mistook her gender; she's a bit androgynous, just like Meimei.
He followed the other person into the mountains, where faint shadows of trees swayed on the ground, and a cold breeze blew between the trees.
"By the way, do you know Bixie?" Huajiao was admiring the scenery of the quiet forest when Xiaoshan jogged ahead to lead the way. He glanced over and casually asked.
"What? Why are you bringing him up?" Little Sparrow turned around as she ran, then her face fell a little.
"We definitely know him! It's because he wreaked havoc on this mountain that we were reassigned to the position of the mountain god!"
"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't know you two had this past conflict."
"Hey, stop nagging. He didn't do it on purpose, otherwise we would have taken care of him already! By the way, what's your relationship with him? How about we find you a spot on a nearby hill?"
"Really? Thank you so much." Huajiao's eyes lit up.
He was deeply impressed by the food that warded off evil spirits, and as the second friend he made here, he was quite happy to live next door to him.
"Alright, come with us!"
The two beasts changed direction and continued walking into the deep mountains.
By mid-morning, the shadows of the leaves had receded to our feet, and the warm sun hung high in the sky.
Huajiao chose a cave that he liked as his place of residence, and then asked Xiaoshan for the location of Pixiu's house before setting off.
A single-story mountain house was next to a wooden shed.
The mythical beast's keen sense of smell could detect the faint stench of chicken coops in the air, and the faint chirping sounds came from inside the shed.
"—Knock knock knock."
Huajiao stood in front of the door for a moment and then politely knocked on the door.
"Here, who is it?"
There were no scenes involving Pixiu on set today, and Bixie was at home worrying about Tianlu's lunch arrangements.
Hearing the noise at the door, he washed his hands, took off his apron, draped it over the back of the chair, and walked towards the door, passing by Tianlu, who was playing video games and was sweating profusely.
The moment he opened the door, the owner of the house who heard the noise outside was stunned.
"Sichuan peppercorn?"
"Yes, it's me. I've settled down on the hill next to yours and came to visit my neighbor."
Sichuan peppercorns lowered their heads slightly, their soft fur gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
Bixie, whose eyes had been half-open, paused for a moment as his pupils dilated slightly, before regaining his senses and taking two steps back.
"Ah. Oh. Come in then, my lunch will be ready soon."
After he finished speaking, he pondered his words, then suddenly realized something was amiss and looked at the other person suspiciously.
"You...you're not here to freeload too, are you?"
"also……?"
In a moment of confusion, Huajiao slowly uttered this word…
Information reception, analysis, and reflection.
He flicked his tail, as if he understood everything.
"Oh--"
"So I'm not the only beast who likes your cooking."
"That's right. Your cooking is delicious and visually appealing, with a unique flavor and a homey feel. It's normal that all the beasts around you would like it."
Bixie froze again, his brain shutting down and spinning around twice before his gaze shifted away unnaturally.
"Hmph, hmph. You make such a big deal out of me freeloading... Come in."
"okay."
Sichuan peppercorns walked confidently into the room, flicking their long tails and closing the door behind them.
The curtains in the living room were open, letting in bright sunlight. As soon as he stepped in, he was met with a strange look in his eyes.
Tianlu put down his phone, stared straight at him, his big eyes half-closed and his small face slightly furrowed.
"Bixie, who is he? Another freeloader?"
"Uh……"
Huajiao paused in his steps.
—Just how many beasts have come to freeload their meals?
"Well, I guess so. But he's my friend, so I'll just do a little more."
Bixie emerged from behind Chenghuang's rather large body, nimbly leaping onto the sofa with its claws and beginning to explain.
Tianlu's expression became even stranger.
"Ah... hello."
He nodded, but his mind was racing with thoughts.
He had overheard the entire conversation between the two beasts, and the atmosphere was definitely off.
—Hmm…why do I have this feeling that the Four-Faced Beast has become a rival in love? Should I tell him?
