Chapter 60: Want to Eat Bunny
Si Er finally felt relieved. It seemed his big brother truly didn’t need him to worry—his little Golden Crow was quite capable.
Just… the way it spits out little flames looks exactly like it’s spitting saliva!
Si Yi: …Could you not think so much?
He suddenly felt that his little brother was rather strange. Mainly, his inner thoughts were extremely strange.
His mind wandered wildly—no one could predict where his thoughts would jump next.
What? You’re saying the little Golden Crow really is spitting saliva?
It’s so thoroughly made of fire that even its saliva is fire? Then what about its pee?
Oh, its pee is just a long stream of fire.
Alright, alright, that’s truly fire to the core.
What? Guagua, what did you say? When Big Brother first contracted it, he thought it was unhealthy because it didn’t pee, so he held it up every day to help it pee?
Hahahahaha! Looks like Big Brother is pretty cute too!
Si Yi: (?°?°)?? ???
That’s enough. That rabbit has really gone too far. Can’t it respect people’s privacy?
Is there really any need to tell others about something like that?
And then the little Golden Crow got upset and peed all over Big Brother?
[Yeah! The little Golden Crow had been wanting to pee every day, shouting “pee pee pee,” like “Here, take it all, now I’ll pee you to death!”]
Hahaha, but since that pee isn’t water, it didn’t affect Big Brother much, right?
[Your brother’s fire attribute is very pure, so the flames didn’t harm his body much. Just a little hot.]
[But his clothes suffered greatly. Burned straight to ashes.]
Hahaha, so Big Brother’s clothes were all burned off? Well, he was wandering in the mountains anyway, being naked for a bit probably wasn’t a big deal.
Si Yi stared fixedly at the rabbit in Si Er’s arms. Although he couldn’t hear what it was saying, he could tell from Si Er’s thoughts just how much it had revealed.
Enough. Any more and it would truly be impolite.
Actually, it already was.
Si Yi decided he couldn’t let this human-and-rabbit conversation continue.
He patted Si Er’s head with a smile. “It’s about time. Don’t you have to get up early for school?”
“Hurry and wash up. Big Brother will make you breakfast.”
“What does Er’er like to eat? Spicy rabbit heads?”
When he said “spicy rabbit heads,” his gaze fell directly on Guagua. Guagua shrank further into Si Er’s arms.
Er’er was adorable. Xuxu was gentle. Why was this big brother so terrifying?
Si Er quickly shook his head. “Isn’t that a bit too heavy for breakfast?”
“I see…” Si Yi nodded. “Then I suppose you won’t like dry-fried rabbit, rabbit hotpot, cold spicy rabbit, or chili rabbit either.”
Guagua began trembling.
Si Er comforted Guagua while laughing awkwardly. “Yes, maybe let’s not eat rabbit?”
He wasn’t paying attention—his mouth moved faster than his brain.
“Bunnies are so cute…”
“Bunnies are so cute—they must taste good,” Si Yi said with a smile. “How about braised rabbit head, sweet-and-sour rabbit ribs, and orange-glazed rabbit cubes?”
Sweet and sour…
Si Er suddenly felt a little hungry.
Now I kind of want sweet-and-sour ribs. I wonder if this world has pigs raised specifically for meat.
His thoughts wandered briefly before he quickly said, “Big Brother, a simple bowl of porridge is fine in the morning. No need to go through so much trouble.”
“We should eat something light.”
“Alright.” Si Yi nodded. “There’s light food in the kitchen. You and Xuxu go eat in a bit.”
Si Er was confused. “Big Brother won’t join us?”
Si Yi smiled. “I just realized there aren’t any meat rabbits in the courtyard. I’ll go to the forest outside and catch a few.”
“I’ll bring them over at noon after I cook.”
“We brothers have only just met—we should get to know each other better. Let me start by letting you get to know my cooking.”
Guagua immediately relaxed. As long as it wasn’t being eaten.
Though it still couldn’t bear to watch other rabbits get eaten. When the time came, it would just hide in the soul-pet space and close its eyes.
Si Er, on the other hand, grew nervous.
Based on my years of reading novels and comics, characters who like showing off their cooking skills usually aren’t that good at cooking…
Big Brother isn’t some kind of kitchen destroyer, is he?
Probably not? He’s fire-attribute at least—he should be good with controlling heat, right?
[Your big brother’s cooking is actually pretty decent.]
So he really is good? Big Brother truly can shine in the hall and rule the kitchen.
Si Yi: …That’s embarrassing to hear.
[But his grilled meat is the real masterpiece. Incredibly fragrant!]
Really? How fragrant?
At that question, Si Yi’s eyelids twitched. He had a bad feeling about what was coming next.
He immediately stood up. “Er’er, hurry and get up. Big Brother will go catch rabbits.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t outrun Si Er’s thoughts.
Wow. The meat smells so good that even its own mother would want a bite?
That fragrant?!
To prevent such tragic mother-and-child cannibalism, Big Brother should just wipe out the whole rabbit nest when he catches them—so they can reunite in our stomachs.
Si Yi nodded in agreement and decided to do exactly that.
Guagua trembled even harder.
[Er’er, who would’ve thought you look cute but are actually a living King of Hell?]
Si Er scratched his head sheepishly.
Well, it’s not that bad. Doesn’t the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent have a rule? Any exotic beast that can be contracted as a soul pet can’t be eaten.
The ones that can be eaten don’t have much intelligence anyway.
But Big Brother ran so fast and jumped so high—weren’t his legs…?
[They were originally crippled by Si Ran’s scheme. But while your brother was roaming the mountains on his Blazing Flame Lion, he found a Firecloud Regrowing Herb.]
[After eating it, his legs healed. He also encountered the little Golden Crow—turning misfortune into blessing.]
[However, Si Yi believed his leg injury wasn’t an accident. To avoid trouble, he pretended his legs hadn’t healed while in Dongyao City.]
[But after Si Ran’s background was exposed, he guessed who was behind it. So now he’s stopped pretending. He’s laid his cards on the table.]
I see. That’s different from the book.
[Of course it’s different. The script of the foreign Heavenly Dao is just a script—it can’t personally manipulate everyone’s life.]
[So even without you deliberately disrupting things, many people have already strayed from that garbage script.]
[Besides, our own Heavenly Dao is trying hard to save itself. That’s why your big brother could find the Firecloud Regrowing Herb at the perfect time—and so many spirit stones too.]
[Er’er, don’t waste them. You and Xuanxuan must cultivate properly.]
Why me and Xuanxuan?
Si Er was puzzled.
[Because only you two can cultivate spiritual power without being affected by baleful energy. Though Xuanxuan’s isn’t exactly spiritual power—it’s more like demonic power.]
[But that’s not a big problem. As long as you both use the cultivation system of the Cang Beast Continent to reach the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, you can join forces to open an ascension passage.]
[At that point, the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent can truly become an independent continent—no longer loosely entangled with the Cang Beast Continent or subject to its coercion.]
