Chapter 1848: Itchy Soles and Brain
Little Taotie saw it suddenly lying on the ground, with an even more innocent look on its face, and looked to the Great Elder for help: "I haven’t even hit it, why did it fall down? Is it pretending? Will it extort medical fees?"
Golden Winged Roc: "..."
Numb!
Too exhausted to roar anymore.
Little Taotie picked up a stick and poked at the Golden Winged Roc’s nostril, "Still breathing, not dead yet."
Golden Winged Roc: "..."
Would rather die right here on the spot.
The Great Elder saw the pitiful state of the Golden Winged Roc, and without any sympathy, picked up another stick, squatted down, and poked it together with Little Taotie.
Both nostrils of the Golden Winged Roc were filled with sticks, and its eyes were almost unfocused.
"Hand over the remedy! Otherwise..." Little Taotie’s big eyes stared at the Golden Winged Roc’s claws.
She had watched a TV drama where the female lead was forced to do something she didn’t want to, and the method used was tickling her feet with a feather.
There are so many floating feathers here, picking any one would be the best tickling tool.
Although the Golden Winged Roc’s feet are claws, it should still be afraid of tickling, right?
Little Taotie tilted her head and asked bluntly: "Are you afraid of tickling?"
Golden Winged Roc was confused and didn’t answer.
Little Taotie talked to herself: "If you’re afraid of tickling, all these feathers can be put to use!"
The Great Elder asked: "Zaizai, what are you going to do?"
Little Taotie grabbed a feather and moved towards the Golden Winged Roc’s nostril...
Golden Winged Roc wailed: "If I could die, I’d just want to die quietly! Please, stop tormenting me!"
"We’re not tormenting you." Little Taotie giggled: "We’re just threatening you. If you don’t hand over the remedy, the feathers will tickle your feet, no, your paw pads!"
The Golden Winged Roc silently rubbed its body.
Rubbed off a lump of dirt.
Little Taotie jumped back: "Dirty!"
Golden Winged Roc: "This is the remedy."
Ninth Elder shouted: "No, you must be tricking me!"
Golden Winged Roc: "I’m not tricking you, this is indeed the remedy. If you swallow it, the discomfort will immediately disappear."
"You’re playing tricks on me!"
"You must be playing tricks on me!"
Ninth Elder stepped back repeatedly, shouting: "Tonight I want to eat chicken wings, Zaizai, don’t hold back! I don’t want the remedy, I just want its life!"
Little Taotie blinked: "Then I’ll... tickle!"
Little Taotie didn’t use the previous feather, but picked the most beautiful one from all the feathers.
It’s a pure gold feather, shining brightly.
Little Taotie’s eyes lit up with obsession for gold, reaching out to grab the feather to verify if it’s a feather or pure gold.
Turns out, it’s not just a feather, but made of pure gold!
"Made of pure gold?" Little Taotie scanned the pile of feathers to find another one.
But couldn’t find another pure gold one, maybe some looked golden but had mixed colors like black or white.
"His Golden Winged Roc bloodline should come from this feather. If his cultivation improves, he can use this feather as his Lifebound treasure." Great Elder explained.
Little Taotie was surprised: "Lifebound treasure, that must be precious, isn’t it wasteful to use it for tickling?"
The Great Elder grinned: "Not at all, it just loves using golden feathers to tickle feet."
The Golden Winged Roc realized, are they going to use a feather to tickle the soles of the feet?
Taking a deep breath, the Golden Winged Roc broke off its wing, "Feel free to cook it any way you want, use it as the main material for alchemy, or consume it to detoxify."
