Chapter 976: The Little Meatball’s Spirit
Little Red didn’t dare to say any more. After Ling Chuxi put him down, he obediently went to bed but he secretly swore in his heart that when he became strong, he would seek revenge on Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue. Definitely, for sure!
The next morning, they continued on their journey. At noon, there were no inns or restaurants around, thus they stopped by a small stream and prepared to eat before they set off.
During their journey, they had not slacked off in their cultivation. Ling Chuxi had already instructed them to combine work and rest. When they were cultivating, they had to be fully focused. When they were resting, they had to relax to their heart’s content. Therefore, everyone had a great time while resting by the stream at noon. They delegated tasks-catching fish, picking firewood, hunting wild rabbits, picking mushrooms – to work together to prepare a good picnic.
At this time, Ling Chuxi was already skillfully roasting a fat wild rabbit. Little White sat lazily by her side, waiting for Ling Chuxi’s delicious food. Little Red was also sitting next to her, staring at the roasted rabbit in Ling Chuxi’s hand. A suspicious drool appeared from the corner of his mouth. For Xiao Rou and Big Dark Face, such a scene wouldn’t have been a big deal since they were already used to seeing Zhen Ye like this. In fact, when such a thing happened, they would convince themselves momentarily that the person drooling wasn’t their wise and divine young master, definitely not. He must have been possessed by someone else. It was only after a meal that their young master would return.
The delicious fragrance gradually filled the air. At this time, Little Meatball had been sleeping with the insignia in Ling Chuxi’s pocket. It suddenly woke up, sniffled, then quickly threw down the insignia in its hand and jumped out towards Ling Chuxi’s shoulder. It looked at the roast rabbit held by Ling Chuxi and starting vocalizing, “Ho, ho!” Then, without waiting for Ling Chuxi to react, it crawled forward along Ling Chuxi’s arm and stretched out its claws to grab the rabbit.
Little Red was dumbfounded. He had said before that the Gla.s.s Gold Beast wanted to eat roasted meat, but it was really just a casual remark because it was he who wanted to eat it. Never would he have expected the Little Meatball to actually be interested in roasted meat.
Little White was also stunned. He had never heard of a Gla.s.s Gold Beast eating anything other than metal. In fact, they had been consuming other delicacies during their journey but had never seen the beast show the slightest amount of interest in their food.
Ling Chuxi was also surprised. She tore off a piece of rabbit meat and tried to pa.s.s it to Little Meatball. The beast happily took it and ate it in one big gulp. Then, it made let out a whoosh with its mouth, urging Ling Chuxi to give it another piece. Just like that, she tore yet another piece and it ate it without hesitation. Both of rabbit legs went into Little Meatball’s stomach. The beast then rubbed its stomach in satisfaction before laying on its back next to Ling Chuxi to bask in the Sun.
Ling Chuxi looked at Little Meatball’s slightly protruding belly and then looked at the rest of the rabbit meat in her hand. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. What was going on? How could such a small belly contain rabbit meat that was bigger than him?
But this question quickly became irrelevant. Ling Chuxi realized that Little Meatball ate only metal and the rabbit meat that she roasted. In fact, he would only eat the legs of a rabbit roasted by her.
Now Little Meatball appeared more energetic and no longer looked weak every day. However, Little White wasn’t in a good mood. The rabbit’s hind legs that Ling Chuxi roasted had always been his. Now, it had been taken by this fat ball. Fortunately, Little Meatball only ate both hind legs because it was famished this time. After that, he would only eat one from now on and the other one would go to Little White. And Little Red could only whine slightly other than sitting quietly by the sidelines.
