“Wow! Look, sister, this looks so delicious!”
“These are sugar-coated berries!”
“I want to try them, I want to eat them!”
“Fine, let me buy some for you!”
…
Su Ling’er and Su Xiaoqi were strolling around the streets. However, their tails were so conspicuous that many pa.s.sers-by on the street raised eyebrows at them.
However, news had spread in the Imperial City. Everyone knew the people of the Mysterious Clan had been brought there by Xu Que. Therefore, no one dared offend them.
Hence, the two girls were quite happy. After all, they had never had such close contact with human beings, and it was also the first time for them to see such bustling streets.
For them, many snacks and trinkets were extraordinary.
Su Xiaoqi had her wish fulfilled by buying sugar-coated berries. However, after taking a bite, she was not delighted anymore and said, her eyebrows furrowed, “It isn’t as delicious as it looks. It’s sweet, but it can’t match the chocolate pills of that d.a.m.ned monkey!”
“Oh, I think I hear someone praising me,” Xu Que stepped out from behind the two girls and said mischievously.
Hearing his voice, Su Ling’er and Su Xiaoqi turned around immediately.
Su Ling’er was delighted and said, “Sun… Xu Que, you’re back!”
“Yes!” Xu Que nodded his head with a smile.
Su Xiaoqi pursed her lips and snorted, “Bad monkey… no, bad Xu Que, where did you go? Yesterday, we almost got killed!”
“Are you kidding? With the protection of the Exploding Heavens Faction, how could you get killed? I was informed of the things that happened yesterday. Because the G.o.d of Cookery was here, it was safe for me to be absent for several days,” Xu Que said with a smile and continued to show off his acting skills.
“Who is that G.o.d of Cookery? He’s very powerful!” Su Ling’er asked curiously.
Xu Que smiled and said, shaking his head, “He isn’t very powerful. I could defeat him with only one hand!”
“Boo, you’re boasting and I don’t believe it. Bad Xu Que, just bring me some chocolate!” Su Xiaoqi pouted and reached out her little hand to Xu Que.
Squinting his eyes, Xu Que was about to say something.
At just this moment, a voice came from behind.
“Little brat, little brat, see what I bring back!” the raucous voice of b.u.t.tface came from across the street, which attracted the attention of numerous people.
Su Ling’er and Su Xiaoqi turned around, following the voice, then were shocked by what they saw.
Xu Que smiled ruefully. Without looking back, he knew clearly that people’s attention must have been attracted by the big octopus b.u.t.tface had brought back.
However, he was quite puzzled since yesterday he had fed b.u.t.tface with aphrodisiac. According to b.u.t.tface’s temperament, he must have been p.i.s.sed off.
Unexpectedly, this time, b.u.t.tface had overlooked the issue and brought back an Ultimate Octopus delightedly. Something was definitely wrong!
“Little dog, did you kill the other person from the Sea Tribe?” looking at b.u.t.tface, Su Xiaoqi asked surprisedly.
Hearing that, b.u.t.tface widened his eyes and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you, little fox? I’ve told you so many times that I’m a wolf, not a dog! Moreover, I really don’t need to deal with just one person of the Sea Tribe personally!”
What?
Hearing his words, Xu Que asked in amazement, “Didn’t you kill him?”
He couldn’t believe it at all. Although this one was not as powerful as the Geoduck, it was at least more powerful than those mantis shrimps. If he hadn’t been killed by b.u.t.tface, could anyone else in the Five Nations kill this big octopus?
b.u.t.tface shook his head and said, “I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I found the body of this Sea Tribe creature not far from me. I guess he was a.s.sa.s.sinated by someone else.”
“Are you sure you didn’t kill him?” Xu Que asked suspiciously.
b.u.t.tface said with absolute certainty, “Of course not! I would never kill such a weakling!”
Su Xiaoqi said immediately, “You’re lying! You already killed one person from the Sea Tribe yesterday!”
“What?” Hearing her words, b.u.t.tface was greatly shocked and said in surprise, “How could that be possible? Didn’t I leave first yesterday?”
Hearing that, Xu Que and the two girls were stunned.
What’s wrong with b.u.t.tface?
Did he lose memory or is he playing the fool?
Many people had seen b.u.t.tface kill a person of the Sea Tribe with a kick yesterday. How could he deny it after only a day?
“Wait! Why are your reactions so weird? Did you do something to me? Just tell me the truth and maybe I can forgive you!” b.u.t.tface was anxious and doubtful and said this while staring at Xu Que and the two girls.
It seemed he was not playing the fool at all.
Xu Que was quite confused. He knew b.u.t.tface very well. As a dog who liked to be in the limelight, he would definitely take credit and show off for the two Sea Tribe people he had killed. He would never say he hadn’t killed them.
“Could it be a side effect because of my overdosage?” Xu Que murmured confusedly.
b.u.t.tface had good ears, so he heard Xu Que’s words. He came over immediately and asked, “Little brat, what do you mean? What the h.e.l.l did you do to me?”
“Nothing, you just tell me what happened yesterday!” Xu Que patted b.u.t.tface’s head and said with a smile.
b.u.t.tface suspiciously and warily said, “There’s nothing to say! I didn’t escape deliberately yesterday! I left to call in reinforcements! I didn’t expect to feel drowsy on my way. Then I fell asleep until just now, and now I’m back!”
“That’s all?” Xu Que asked.
“Of course! Did something big happen yesterday?” b.u.t.tface asked curiously.
Su Ling’er and Su Xiaoqi were quite surprised. Apparently, now they had also noticed something was wrong with b.u.t.tface. It seemed that b.u.t.tface had lost some memories and simply forgotten he had killed the Sea Tribe person!
Moreover, according to this circ.u.mstance, it seemed this octopus had also been killed by b.u.t.tface, but he didn’t remember it.
“Okay, now I see. Well done, I’ll treat you with a big feast tonight.” Xu Que didn’t make a detailed inquiry and just said this while patting b.u.t.tface’s head.
b.u.t.tface’s eyes were kindled immediately, and he asked in pleasant surprise, “What’s on the menu?”
“Sesame oil, pig skin, Ultimate Octopus, and banana milk! Tell me, is that good?”
“Awesome…” b.u.t.tface was so delighted.
…
Finally, Xu Que sent b.u.t.tface away and asked him to bring the big octopus into the Imperial Palace. He headed for the Imperial Palace leisurely along with Su Ling’er and Su Xiaoqi.
When b.u.t.tface walked away, Su Xiaoqi couldn’t help asking, “What’s going on? Has he really lost his memories?”
“I don’t think he was playing the fool!” Xu Que said, shaking his head.
If b.u.t.tface was playing the fool, Xu Que could figure it out easily. However, it seemed b.u.t.tface had really forgotten and lost those memories for good.
“It’s so odd! Could it be that he was wounded when he fought with that Sea Tribe person? His wound could have caused his amnesia!” Su Ling’er guessed.
Xu Que shook his head, for that was absolutely impossible!
b.u.t.tface’s physique was formidably strong. Even the Geoduck got a fracture after a direct collision with b.u.t.tface! How could he be wounded by an Ultimate Octopus?
“Maybe his amnesia was caused by the aphrodisiac.” Xu Que concluded finally.
According to the current situation, this reason was the most plausible. After taking the aphrodisiac, b.u.t.tface went crazy. Then he fell asleep and lost the memories.
However, this could also be good news. At least b.u.t.tface wouldn’t make trouble about it.
