Xiaoxiao's strength increased rapidly. Not only did she suddenly appear in front of Xu Qiaoqiao, but several times she was already close to her without even sensing her aura, and then she brought her new toy.

Not only that, there's another thing—Xiaoxiao started talking.

Xu Qiaoqiao had gotten used to the other person's loud voice, so she was still stunned when she heard him speak in human language.

"hastily……"

Looking into Xiaoxiao's bright eyes, and then as she tried to utter those words, Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned. What's going on? I haven't even learned to speak yet, and you can already speak?

"Face, that's funny."

Xiaoxiao's voice clearly indicated that she was still a teenager, truly a minor. Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly realized that the face imprinted on the root was already very clear, with her face and teeth clearly visible.

Looking at Xiaoxiao's silly grin, she twitched her lips helplessly.

Then I saw Xiaoxiao bury her face in her leaves, as if she was sucking on something, and she was also biting her branch.

Tsk tsk, it seems this tiger is getting more and more impatient. It's so nice to be an animal that doesn't think much. Unlike me, with the body of a plant and the soul of a human, I'm incredibly emotional. This tiger thinks about eating me all the time, and I even find it cute.

Eh~

Xiaoxiao drooled a lot, all of it flowing onto Xu Qiaoqiao's upper body, making it sticky. She even ate a few leaves, which made Xiaoxiao feel even better.

Xu Qiaoqiao is no longer so concerned about having a few fewer leaves; after all, with so many leaves, losing one won't kill her.

As Xu Qiaoqiao aged, the medicinal properties emanating from her body became increasingly potent.

I've finally finished writing.

Happy New Year, everyone!
