Chapter 19: Stroking a White TigerSu Tang looked at the tiger bitterly from behind as she thought about her short legs and moaned how tough it was for her to survive in Beast World!
Even though the gra.s.s was short, they were half a meter tall and were up to her thighs.
If she was not careful, she might end up spraining her ankle if she tripped in any vines or rocks!
“Slow down. I can"t keep up.”
Cain immediately stopped when he heard Su Tang"s voice!
Su Tang was unable to stop in time, so she walked right into Cain"s muscular back.
“Ahhh…”
She covered her sore nose with tears automatically br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes.
Cain was startled. “Su, are you okay?”
Su Tang waved her hand as she rubbed her nose gently. “I"m fine. It was my fault. Let"s look around! We might be able to find it here!”
Old Nick came chasing energetically.
“Su Tang, what does the herb look like? I will help find it!”
Su Tang nodded as she gestured and said, “I need goldenrod, also known as wild yellow chrysanthemum. It"s roughly so tall, and its stems are woody and purple-brown. Cl.u.s.ters typically appear at the bottom, and they rarely come singly. Its flowers are round while the tips of the petals fold inwards.”
Old Nick contemplated as he nodded.
“What can we use goldenrod for? Is it for Meng Ze"s fever?”
“There are a variety of uses for goldenrod. It can be used to cure bitterness in the mouth, dryness in the throat, giddiness, overheating, or chills. Just boil its stems and leaves in three bowls of water until there is only one bowl left and drink it.”
Old Nick learned a lot from Su Tang. He stroked his goatee while he walked around the forest looking for goldenrod!
[BEEP! 2 points for spreading knowledge! You now have a total of 17 points!]
Just as Su Tang was talking, the glowing blue screen popped out without warning, frightened her!
Su Tang: [007, can notifications be hidden?]
[BEEP! All notifications are now hidden. Pa.s.sive mode activated, so the system will only appear on demand!]
Su Tang nodded satisfactorily. It seemed the system was rather user-friendly.
After sorting out the system, Su Tang started walking around in the parts of the forest with a lot of sun. Since goldenrod preferred the sun, there was a higher chance of finding them here!
Cain said abruptly, “I"ve seen it before!”
“Huh?” Su Tang was initially at a loss.
Hence, Cain explained, “That herb you were talking about. I have seen it before!”
Su Tang was instantly excited. “Where have you seen it? Take me there!”
“It"s a little far. I will carry you there!”
Cain squatted down. White light flashed, and he transformed into a white tiger with black stripes!
Even though Su Tang had already seen him doing this, her heart could not help palpitating in shock!
This tiger was certainly beautiful!
He had bright smooth fur, well-defined muscles, and powerful limbs. Su Tang finally realized why Cain"s hair was silver!
He must be one of the four great beasts back home, a white tiger!
Su Tang was dying to stroke him!
But a voice in her heart kept warning her that he was a national protected animal! She could not stroke him no matter what!
She struggled to keep her hands away.
Cain immediately realized that the female liked his animal form a lot!
Hence…
The large tiger walked up beside Su Tang elegantly and rubbed his head inside Su Tang"s arms. His big bright watery eyes were so cute that Su Tang"s heart almost turned to mush!
