The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH176

Chapter 176: Eating the Lingzi

Before picking the Feiyun Zhaoyue Lingzi, Si Er had been determined to pluck it and taste it.

But now that he was actually holding it in his hands, surrounded by everyone, he suddenly felt a little awkward.

Why does it feel so strange being watched while eating?

And Wu Li helped a lot this time… should I share some with her?

But would this even be useful to her?

Guagua replied in his mind:

Not really. Light-attribute heavenly treasures are somewhat useful to most, but to those pitch-black types, they’re basically useless.

No need to mention Xuanxuan—his attribute clashes with it.

As for Wu Li, only fortune-related items benefit her. Or spending more time around a Child of Fortune helps too.

So as long as she has no ill intent, continuing to cooperate for a while is enough. Besides, her three soul pets are very useful.

Si Er paused.

You mean… I’m a Child of Fortune?

What else? I thought we were past needing to ask that.

Guagua felt Si Er should have a sense of his own luck.

Though his early life had been rough, ever since returning to his true form, everything had gone smoothly.

Si Er did feel that—but every time Guagua said it out loud, it still felt surreal.

I’m not used to this Child of Fortune identity yet.

If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have happened to arrive exactly when the Feiyun Zhaoyue Lingzi matured—and successfully plucked it.

Guagua had dared to push for it earlier because he believed Si Er’s luck would prevent major problems.

If it had been far from maturity, that’d be one thing. But it was about to ripen—the timing was perfect.

Guagua felt like heaven itself had shoved this treasure into Si Er’s hands.

Honestly, I feel like a Child of Fortune is the natural enemy of heavenly treasures.

Si Er: -_-# That’s enough feeling for today.

“Er-Er, hurry up and eat! Let me have another bite too.”

Guagua couldn’t hold back and pawed at Si Er’s hand impatiently.

Si Xu leaned over with a grin. “Feeling shy? Want us to turn around so you can eat in peace?”

“No, no!” Si Er waved his hands quickly. “It’s just… such a big Lingzi. Shouldn’t I stew it into soup?”

“Is it appropriate to just eat it raw?”

Guagua stared at the Lingzi, practically drooling. “My inherited memory says this one is meant to be eaten raw.”

“If Er-Er doesn’t dare, I can taste-test first! Let me take a bite?”

Si Er sighed. “Alright, go ahead.”

“Mm-hmm!” Guagua snapped off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, quickly showing a blissful expression.

“Is it that good?” Si Er asked curiously.

“Mm-hmm! Soft and glutinous, a little sweet. I love it.”

“Really?” Si Er tore off a small piece and popped it into his own mouth.

Perhaps because the piece was too small, it melted instantly. Aside from a faint sweetness, he barely tasted anything.

But once swallowed, he clearly felt his body absorbing moonlight slightly faster.

He tore off a larger chunk and stuffed it into his mouth.

This time, he understood what Guagua meant.

Wow… this texture, this flavor—it’s like eating cotton candy!

I haven’t had cotton candy in ages. I think I could finish this entire Lingzi.

I thought earlier it was twice the size of my head—no way I could eat it all.

Now I realize how naïve I was.

Si Er instantly fell in love with the texture and flavor, but he didn’t forget his companions.

Guagua could help himself—he was a sensible rabbit. Besides, this was the first time Guagua had eaten something other than melons. Si Er found that oddly fascinating.

Cui Cui hopped down from Si Er’s head and landed on the hand holding the Lingzi.

Though it looked like a simple green mushroom without limbs or facial features, Si Er somehow sensed an eager, hopeful aura from it.

“You want some too, CuiCui?”

The little mushroom bobbed enthusiastically.

Si Er broke off a piece for it. Cui Cui immediately jumped onto it.

Moments later, the piece looked as though it had been drained dry—only a trace of residue remained.

Guagua continued crunching away while explaining, “CuiCui absorbed everything it could. Very cleanly too.”

Si Er nodded, then glanced at Mianmian, still sleeping soundly on the green-haired turtle’s back. He planned to save some for it.

The Feiyun Zhaoyue Lingzi carried a uniquely enticing fragrance.

Yu Beixuan, Si Xu, and Wu Li maintained their composure, but Lu Taiping was quietly swallowing his saliva.

Still, thinking about it carefully, he hadn’t contributed much to picking it. And the Lingzi’s attribute didn’t suit him.

So better not think about it.

But he couldn’t help it—it smelled too good.

He suddenly lamented why only soul pets had soul spaces where they could hide and recuperate anytime.

Soul masters needed that too! If he had somewhere to hide right now, he wouldn’t be drooling like this.

The most tempted of all, however, was Yu Beixuan’s little black turtle.

Yu Beixuan had knocked it unconscious earlier—but the fragrance was so tempting it actually woke up from being knocked out.

Even though it knew in its dreams that it couldn’t eat the Lingzi, that didn’t stop it from craving it.

When it woke, it realized it was lying on something soft and green—like long moss.

It was just about to touch it when it noticed a little white turtle sleeping beside it.

Mianmian!

Its eyes lit up—then quickly shut again, pretending it had never awakened.

Carefully, it inched sideways.

Soon, it was pressed right up against Mianmian.

Hehe. Mianmian, cuddle-cuddle!

Having achieved the long-awaited cuddle milestone, the little black turtle was thrilled.

Unfortunately, the happiness was short-lived. Just as it pressed close, Mianmian woke up.

Mianmian didn’t notice where it was lying, nor that a scheming little black turtle was cuddling it.

Its entire focus was on the Lingzi.

For the first time, it called out to Si Er:

“Er-Er… hungry… Lingzi…”

Si Er quickly scooped up the little white turtle and began breaking off pieces for it.

At first, seeing how small Mianmian was, he gave only tiny bits.

But Mianmian ate so quickly he could barely keep up.

In the end, he had to break off a large chunk.

He wanted Mianmian to eat slowly and not rush—

But Mianmian devoured it like a starving ghost reborn.
