534 It’s Alright, Don’t Be Afraid
The moment Murphy reached out to grab Huanhuan, Little Green rushed out and wrapped itself around him.
Huanhuan hurriedly shrank into a corner and distanced herself from him.
Murphy couldn’t break free of the green vines on his body, and his expression darkened. He looked along the vines and saw that they were coming from Huanhuan’s sleeve.
He questioned word by word, “What the heck are you?”
!!
Huanhuan wrinkled her nose and retorted angrily, “Bah, you’re the one who’s a thing!”
“Beasts can’t control plants. You can’t be a beast.”
Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat, but she still said firmly, “Have you seen beasts? How are you so sure that beasts can’t control plants?!”
“Among the beasts, I’ve heard that those from the Divine Wood clan can communicate with plants, but even so, they can’t control plants.”
Huanhuan blurted out, “Who said that? Their high priest, Bi Huan, can control plants!”
The suspicion in Murphy’s eyes became even more obvious. “How do you know that the high priest of the Divine Wood clan is called Bi Huan and that he can control plants? Have you seen him?”
Huanhuan couldn’t answer.
“Are you from the beast continent?”
Huanhuan shut up.
Murphy took her att.i.tude as acquiescence.
He frowned and said, “The beast continent is very far from the dawn continent. How did you get here?”
Huanhuan still said nothing.
But her silence was considered as an answer.
The Murphy in front of her was completely different from the elegant Murphy from before.
Previously, he was considerate, polite, and restrained. He never asked too much about her background and private matters.
But now, not only was he violent, but he was also sensitive and suspicious. He was very difficult to get along with.
Huanhuan didn’t want to answer his question.
She refused to tell him, and Murphy couldn’t force her to speak. He moved his arm. “Let go of me.”
“No.” Huanhuan refused bluntly.
What a joke. With how dangerous he looked at this moment, she would definitely be in trouble if she let go of him.
Murphy laughed at her in anger. “Do you think you can trap me like this?”
A small knife suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade was extremely sharp. With a light cut, it cut through the vines wrapped around his body.
Little Green screamed in pain and shrank hard. The barbs on the surface of the vine pierced the skin on Murphy’s arm.
The barbs were poisonous. Murphy quickly felt dizzy and fainted.
Little Green let go of him and shrank back into Huanhuan’s arms. It rubbed against her palm aggrievedly with its injured part. “Boo-hoo~”
Huanhuan touched it. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.”
Little Green was comforted by its master and quickly calmed down.
Vines were very regenerative to begin with. Although it hurt the moment it was cut, it didn’t feel anything after that. The reason why it looked aggrieved was to be appeased by its master.
Huanhuan stood up and walked barefoot to Murphy’s side.
She tried to kick his arm gently with her toe.
He didn’t move or react.
It seemed that he had really fainted.
Huanhuan squatted down and examined his wound. The edge of the wound was already faintly black. It seemed that he had been poisoned.
The poison in Little Green’s body could kill.
Huanhuan plucked a leaf from Little Green, chewed it, and applied it evenly to the wound.
A moment later, the black color at the edge of the wound dissipated.
But Murphy still wasn’t awake.
It was probably the aftereffects of being drunk. He should be fine after a nap.
Huanhuan ran downstairs and called Mark out of the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Mark was very surprised to see Murphy lying on the attic floor. “Christ, what happened to him?”
Huanhuan said vaguely, “He ran into my room in the middle of the night. I was shocked and drugged him.”
“Did his personality become strange?”
Huanhuan nodded slowly. “Yes, he’s a completely different person.”
Mark was used to this. “It’s good that he fainted. It saves him from bullying you.”
He was small, but he was strong. In one breath, he dragged Murphy, who was several times taller than him, downstairs.
Murphy was placed in a bedroom on the second floor. Mark had built a makeshift bed in the bas.e.m.e.nt. He made do with it for the night.
Early the next morning, Murphy opened his eyes and woke up to find himself lying in Mark’s bedroom.
Due to Mark’s short stature, the bed he slept on was not big. It was impossible for Murphy, who was tall and had long legs, to be able to fit in it. His upper body was lying on the bed, while his lower body was on the ground. His posture was extremely awkward.
Murphy rubbed his throbbing temple and gradually remembered what had happened last night.
Naturally, that included the ridiculous things he did after his personality split.
Murphy’s headache worsened at the thought of barging into the woman’s bedroom at night.
Running away wouldn’t solve the problem. Murphy walked out of the bedroom and found Huanhuan busying herself with breakfast in the kitchen. He apologized to her sincerely. “I’m sorry. I was rude last night.”
As Huanhuan cooked the vegetables, she said, “It’s okay. I’m not angry.”
In any case, he was already injured by Little Green and fainted from the poison. He had learned his lesson.
Murphy took out a green fruit. “This is my apology. I hope you can accept it.”
If it were anything else, Huanhuan would definitely refuse, but if it was something delicious…
“Thank you. What fruit is this? Is it edible?” Huanhuan took the fruit.
“This is a green fruit. It’s a fruit unique to the elves. If outsiders eat it, they can successfully pa.s.s through the Misty Forest and reach Elven G.o.d Mountain. That’s my hometown. You’re welcome as a guest.”
Huanhuan thought to herself that he had been chased out by the elves. Could he still bring guests back?
The words would hurt him, so she was too embarra.s.sed to ask.
She brought the green fruit to her face and sniffed it. It smelled fresh. She thought for a moment. “Misty Forest? There’s a place called the Misty Forest on the beast continent.”
“It must be a coincidence.” Murphy paused and couldn’t help but ask, “How do you know that there’s a place called the Misty Forest on the beast continent? Are you really from the beast continent?”
Huanhuan put away the green fruit and lowered her head to roll the dough. She did not answer his question.
Murphy, who didn’t get an answer, wasn’t disappointed.
Since she was unwilling to say, so be it.
He asked, “What are you making?”
“Wontons.”
“What are they?”
Speaking of food, Huanhuan immediately smiled very happily. “It’s a delicious dish.”
The wontons she had wrapped were boiled in hot water. She sprinkled seasonings into the pot, cracked some eggs, and added some dried prawns.
Since Murphy was a vegetarian, the wonton filling was made of vegetables. Moreover, she didn’t put prawns in his bowl, only chopped seaweed.
It was the first time Murphy and Mark had eaten wontons, and they were immediately fascinated by them. Mark, in particular, picked up the bowl and ate them without even saying anything.
They were so delicious that he couldn’t stop eating!
