Chapter 161 Shuo Ye
As the moon rose high, Chen An followed the scent of smoke and landed in a lonely house.
The grass was waist-high and gray, just like the landscape around the cement factory in the human world that Chen An saw before he transmigrated into the book.
Dull, oppressive, and boring.
But if it weren't for the roaring cement factory machines, this gloomy scene would be quite unique.
She parted the weeds, which crunched and had been rotting for a long time.
The door was pushed open, and a child walked out, completely covered by a dark cloak.
He possessed abundant spiritual energy, yet his aura differed from that of a cultivator.
He walked forward step by step, until he reached Chen An, and then leaned in and took a deep sniff.
The familiar scent of his kind sent a shiver down his spine.
pat.
The dagger fell to the ground.
His pupils contracted, realizing something was wrong. He bent down to pick it up, but Chen An seized the opportunity to grab his ankle and lift him up.
"So you want to kill me?"
"Meow, meow—".
"You're a cat!" Chen An let go. If it really was a cat that could transform, it wouldn't be bad to take it back to Fu Gui as a companion.
When Fugui took human form, he was an adult. This kitten, however, looks only seven or eight years old, and is probably even stronger.
As soon as I let go, the child sprang into the air and cautiously ran into the house.
She closed the door, stuck out her bottom, and peered through the crack in the door, her amber eyes sparkling and watery.
"Give me back my older brother."
The creature inside is baring its teeth and acting fierce, while the creature outside is absolutely adorable.
When Fugui was little, he was a fluffy little ball of fur, and he would usually lie on Chen'an's lap.
When it gets excited, it jumps down and pounces on Chen An.
After being shaken and lifted up, Chen An stared with wide, round eyes, looking scared but trying to hold on, which softened Chen An's heart.
The child's height is also in line with his age, who likes to pounce on people.
"Want to see your older brother? Come with me, I'll take you to find him."
Chen An beckoned with his finger toward the house, tilting his head and smiling.
The child squinted, and the humans outside looked silly; it was hard to tell whether they were reliable or not.
However, she smelled of her brother, so she still had to stay with her.
"My name is Shuoye." A voice came from inside the house, the door was half-closed, and a head peeked out. "Do you know who my older brother is? Then take me there."
"I know, she's a little tabby cat too." As he spoke, Chen An placed his hand on the door, secretly tightening it, as if afraid that Shuo Ye would close it.
Shuoye would think back to when his older brother left, he was about the same age as him.
It couldn't display even a trace of the otherworldly raccoon's majesty.
Calling it a tabby cat wouldn't be an exaggeration, but what does "little tabby cat" mean by daring to call an otherworldly tabby cat that? This little human must have had enough of living.
However, for such a noble species as the Otherworld Tanuki, arguing with a fool would damage its reputation, so let's just forget about it.
"I need to see my elder brother within half an hour."
Well, in half an hour, if this kid becomes the boss, the employees won't survive.
Chen An squeezed into the room and patted Shuo Ye's head: "If you follow me, you'll eventually find your big brother. If you don't, it's okay. I can introduce you to a new big brother."
"What did you say!"
Shuoye exploded instantly.
"My eldest brother is my eldest brother. I only have one eldest brother. No one else can be my eldest brother."
Chen An gasped. If this were in beast form, it would probably be furious.
Shuo Ye, panting heavily, his vertical pupils displaying an attack stance, stared at Chen An for a long time before pouncing.
"Waaaaah, I want to find my eldest brother. Only my eldest brother is a good eldest brother. All the other eldest brothers are bad eldest brothers."
Chen An's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He thought he couldn't escape being bitten today, but unexpectedly, he had a spoiled child in his arms.
so poor……
Chen An hugged Shuo Ye and gently rubbed his head.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll help you find it."
Shuoye looked up, her voice choked with emotion: "Really?"
"Really." Chen An rubbed his head again, feeling a pang of heartache.
This kid's cultivation level isn't low, so how come he's so thin?
Her chubby little face was supported by baby fat, but her body was dry and wiry.
Such a young child, surviving alone in this desolate and uninhabited place.
Chen An's nose tingled with sadness. It was all because of that little cat, Fu Gui. That brat was stealing medicinal herbs and pills every day; he was practically turning into a pill-refining furnace.
After snuggling in Chen An's arms for a while, Shuo Ye jumped down, piled up the dry grass on the ground, and held it in her arms.
"Come on, I'll take care of you from now on. You can be my little brother. Once we find my big brother, we'll have plenty to eat and drink."
"Okay." Chen An stepped forward and took the hay. "Is this your bed?"
Shuoye nodded: "Yes, yes, I peeled the skin off the grass outside. It's soft and feels so good."
At this moment, Chen An's desire to give Shuo Ye a better life became even stronger.
She put the hay on the ground and pinched Shuoye's chubby cheeks: "You won't need these anymore."
Shuo Ye pouted, pushed Chen An's hand away, and said earnestly, "You should be polite to your older brother."
Then she took Chen An's hand and led her outside.
“If you don’t want to use them, we won’t use them. Big Brother will definitely be able to find softer grass.”
Shuoye weaved through the grass, only her head showing, but she kept using her body to shield Chen An from the weeds.
Chen Anxin felt a pang of tenderness and couldn't bear to see it working so hard. Regardless of whether it was too conspicuous, he summoned the spaceship.
The sheer size of that thing hanging overhead created a powerful sense of oppression.
Beneath the hull, a vast, dark mass made the already oppressive place feel suffocating.
Shuo Ye had never seen such a scene before. His pupils dilated in an instant as he shielded Chen An behind him, saying, "You go first. I remember your scent and will find you."
Chen An picked up Shuo Ye with one arm and patted his back: "Big brother, don't be afraid, I did this."
Shuoye's pupils, which had been shrunken, slowly dilated, then instantly contracted again.
Looking at the spaceship and then at Chen An, he hesitated for a long time before stammering, "Actually, it's not impossible for me to acknowledge you as my older brother."
That's spineless enough, I like it.
"Anything is fine." After carrying Shuo Ye onto the spaceship, Chen An gave him four pieces of gold-threaded clothing and some rare and precious herbs to fill his stomach.
Shuoye gripped the shoulder of his clothes, lifted it up, and looked at it again and again.
These treasures are far superior to his cloak. Having even one is extremely rare, but the other party unexpectedly gave him four in a row.
We've found a strong player!
Now we'll definitely be able to find our big brother.
Shuoye put down his clothes, picked up a calming pill, and sniffed it hard.
He felt instantly refreshed and swallowed it in one gulp.
Instantly, the icy spring water flowed into his body, extinguishing and washing away the old wounds that had burned like fire.
Like farmers working under the scorching sun, being caressed by a cool autumn breeze.
With a "bang," he transformed into beast form, opening his blood-red maw to devour everything in his path.
In no time at all, half of the rare and precious materials were gone.
Chen An blinked, and it was gone.
Okay, it's not Fugui's problem, this species is just very edible.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Shuoye seemed to have grown a year or two older; the baby fat on his face had gone down a bit, and he had developed some muscles.
