Tiger tribe XXIII
Mu, who was dazed and burning up, kept constantly tearing his own clothes. He could not stand it and transfigured his hands into the claws of his animal form. He violently pierced the palm of his hand with his sharp claws, splas.h.i.+ng blood everywhere.
Mu gained a thread of clarity.
In the haziness, Mu saw a figure among the trees in the distance.
Mu"s heart beat violently, that"s Ah Yu!
That"s Ah Yu!
His body, which was burned by the fierce fire, seemed to be clamoring, run to him, hug him tightly, hold him down, and listen to his cries!
Mu was almost about to pounce, but because there was still a hint of clearness in his mind, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
And as he was thinking, that person got closer and closer.
Just when Mu was about to lose control, the person nestled against him.
"Aren"t you uncomfortable? Why don"t you let me help you ~" The delicate voice was less sweet because of the seductive tone.
Mu felt sudden surprise. This is not right, Ah Yu"s voice is not like this!
Mu harshly pushed the person in front of him away and instantly turned into his animal shape. He rushed away wildly.
Ya An fell to the ground, his face gloomy. His vicious eyes seemed to be able to pierce Mu. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You"re obviously a good-for-nothing, so how can you resist after smelling the dream flower?!"
There is nothing wrong with what Aspen said. The dream flower is indeed the spirit flower of their tribe. Snakes are by nature kinky, and dream flowers have the effect of stimulating desire and making people indulge. Naturally, they are sought after by snakes.
Chimeras and the females aren"t influenced by the smell of this flower, but as soon as the shapes.h.i.+fters smell it, they will lose their minds and think only of the one they want the most as if they were in a dream.
That was how the name of the dream flower came about.
They had intended to use this type of flower to confuse Mu and lead him to have a relations.h.i.+p with Ya An. Then Ya An would be able to immediately find the tribe leader with Star, and with Mu"s scent on his body, tell him that Mu had been threatening Ya An, but luckily Star had saved him. Otherwise, Mu would have thrown him into the jaw of some hungry beast.
In this way, Star, as his savior, could rightfully enter the tribe and live with him.
But what had gone wrong here?! How could a good-for-nothing shapes.h.i.+fter be able to resist the smell of a dream flower? !
But it does not matter, Ya An gloomily laughed, even if he ran, Star would find him and stop him. He was a good-for-nothing weakling, so how would he be able to escape Star"s palm*?
(* I believe this is a reference to Buddha in Monkey King. If you don"t know this story, then do search it up -- it"s a cla.s.sic in Chinese literature and also an animation series I was really fond of watching when I was a kid :)
When Ya An thought of this, he suddenly heard a miserable shout. When he looked up, his expression froze.
How could a weakling destroy an elite shapes.h.i.+fter?!
No, this is not possible! This is absolutely impossible!
Ya An hysterically groped for the dream flower on the ground and crushed it violently.
Mu"s reason has already been blown away by the fire in his body. He can"t think clearly at all now. There is only one thought in his mind: Ah Yu. He wants Ah Yu!
His strong and powerful limbs were constantly in motion, running and jumping. Mu was going the fastest he could.
The raging fire burned his head and heart.
The blood in his body had already boiled over, and his blood vessels all seemed to be bursting.
Just as he felt that his body was about to explode, he suddenly smelled a fatal scent - the sweet taste seemed to have been deeply carved into the bone marrow, and with only a fleeting whiff he felt the strength flow back into his body. - That was Ah Yu!
That was Ah Yu, the love of his life!
Mu"s eyes flashed red, and he rushed toward the sweet taste with the fastest speed of his life.
............
Jiang Yu"s mood had been very low recently. Mu ignored him. Before, he"d been fine, so he didn"t know why he suddenly became so cold.
He was so cold it made Jiang Yu himself feel down.
In a bad mood, Jiang Yu silently came to the place where the golden thorn gra.s.s grew. He had come here out of habit to gather herbs, but when he saw the golden thorn gra.s.s, Jiang Yu"s mood became even lower.
When the two of them had gathered herbs together, it was so pleasant. And now...
Jiang Yu took a deep breath. No, I can"t be this dejected just because of Mu"s change of att.i.tude!
I like Mu, so I must make him know!
You can"t back down because of this tiny setback!
Jiang Yu"s eyes began to brighten. His frustrated feelings were swept away, he can"t be a person who only accepts the negative pa.s.sively. He hadn"t tried that hard at all yet, so how could he know if Mu would accept him or not?
The more Jiang Yu thought, the better he felt. He threw the herbs in his hands into the basket on his back and walked with lofty aspirations.
He will go back to find Mu!
But just as Jiang Yu reached the entrance to the tunnel, he was blocked by a white tiger with red eyes.
Suddenly, the white tiger turned into a human form. He was constantly panting, his eyes red, and chest fiercely moving up and down.
The fierce feeling of oppression that rushed forward made Jiang Yu freeze in place and the hair on his body stood upright. He could not help but start s.h.i.+vering.
For a long while, Jiang Yu could only endure this strong oppression. With difficulty, he opened his mouth. "Mu?"
