Chapter 439 - 352: Untitled
A series of orders was issued: find any animals, or even plants, exhibiting strange behavior across the country.
And the orders kept coming.
Meanwhile, the instigators were enjoying a happy stroll through the forest.
Kong Jian ducked behind Wen Ying, peeking his little head out at Little White. "Da Guo, I don’t want to..."
With Wen Ying’s mediation, Little White and Kong Jian finally managed to get along peacefully.
The result was that Little Kongjian couldn’t hold his master’s hand.
And Little White couldn’t lie in his master’s arms.
After sending the Monkey King away, the two of them and Little White continued walking toward the edge of the forest.
Their pace was a bit slow because they were having fun along the way.
Kong Jian started telling Little White about the hallucinogenic mushrooms he’d eaten. Little White’s interest was immediately piqued. "Little brother, what was your hallucination about? Why are you being so secretive and not telling your big brother?"
"Da Guo... I..."
"’I’ what! Don’t you see me as your big brother? Have you just been humoring me this whole time?"
Little White was getting a little angry.
"Da Guo... I’m not..."
"If not, then tell me! What did you see in your hallucination? It wasn’t women, was it? Or maybe you were drinking wine and eating meat, breaking your vows? Hehehehe~"
Wen Ying, "..."
"Of course not!" Kong Jian said, flustered. "I just saw Shihuhu..."
After saying that, Kong Jian grew dejected again.
But Little White’s curiosity was hooked. "You saw Master? Don’t tell me you were trying to steal my master, even in a hallucination?"
Kong Jian shook his head, refusing to say another word no matter what Little White said.
Little White found this boring and stopped playing with him, turning to pester Wen Ying instead. "Master, I want to eat the hallucinogenic mushrooms too. Can I?"
Blinking his foxy eyes, Little White looked at Wen Ying, trying to act cute.
"They’re poisonous."
"Master, have you forgotten? I’m the Fox Immortal! How could I be poisoned to death by a mushroom like this? I just want to see what will appear in my hallucination."
Wen Ying thought for a moment, then agreed.
’There’ll be too many troublesome things to deal with once we get out. I might as well enjoy one more carefree day.’
[Little White is the Fox Immortal? Not just a regular fox?]
[He’s actually the Fox Immortal? My uncle’s family worships a Great Immortal too! Not the Fox Immortal, but still. I can’t believe this stuff is real! I always looked down on my uncle for being so superstitious, thinking he was an embarrassment. Turns out I’m the real clown?]
[No wonder Little White is so amazing. So he was already the Fox Immortal before the mist appeared, right? That means his ability to talk has nothing to do with the mist!]
[I just remembered how Xu Jiali was holding the Fox Immortal so brazenly. If she knew Little White was the Fox Immortal, she’d probably be scared to tears, right?]
Xu Jiali: [...]
[I’m just thinking, if legendary beings like the Great Immortals exist, then do the gods of our Flower Country exist?]
[There are so many monsters in the mist. If the gods of our Flower Country existed, how would those monsters dare to invade Flower Country!]
[Does Doctor Wen know?]
[Has Doctor Wen ever seen a god?]
[Why haven’t the gods of Flower Country appeared?!]
[Don’t be naive! The gods of the Foreign countries haven’t appeared either! So are there gods in this world? Probably not!]
Little White squatted to the side, watching Wen Ying busily cooking the mushroom soup.
"Little brother, if your Da Guo passes out later, you have to watch over me, understand? Don’t let Master get tired."
Kong Jian nodded, but the moment the first bowl of mushroom soup was ready, he picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
Little White, "..."
Kong Jian wanted to see the master who knew and remembered him again in a hallucination, and he couldn’t hold back for a moment.
Realizing his mistake, he lowered his head. "Da Guo, I’m sorry..."
"It’s fine! Do you think I, the great Fox Immortal, would squabble with a little kid like you?"
"Now get back! And stop staring at my mushroom soup!"
Little White watched Kong Jian warily, afraid he’d launch another surprise attack.
’This kid looks so honest, but he’s actually so sly!’
Little White picked up his bowl and, at lightning speed, stuffed everything in it into his mouth all at once.
He then shot a satisfied look at Kong Jian, as if to show him who was boss.
After downing three bowls in a row, Little White really did fall asleep.
Watching from a distance, Kong Jian saw Little White fall asleep. The confused and wronged look on his face vanished as he walked over to Wen Ying, his heart filled with a small sense of glee.
’Da Guo’s asleep, so he can’t fight with me over Shihuhu anymore!’
’So happy!’

Little White stared blankly at the vast, white mountainscape before him.
