Chapter 531 Interspecies Communication
Everything happened so suddenly that no one expected that this little jade toad, which had looked down on Wu Yan, would actually take the initiative to show goodwill to an outsider.
Feng Tianyu didn't care how precious this little thing was in the eyes of Wu Yan and the others. He saw a figure suddenly dart out from not far away and pounce on Ye Wanxi.
Without even thinking, he slapped out.
With a snap, the exquisite little jade toad was slapped against a pillar and flattened into a snow-skin mooncake shape.
Wu Yan and the others were stunned for a few seconds until the little jade toad slid down from the pillar, at which point they suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Gu King!"
Wu Yan rushed over to check on Yu Chan's condition immediately, while the other clansmen glared angrily at Ye Wanxi and the others, wishing they could rush up to them and tear them apart.
"Goo~tui~" When the little jade toad noticed that Wu Yan wanted to touch it, it quickly spat out some saliva, expressing its disgust and rejection.
Wu Yan paused, not daring to go any further.
The next second, the little jade toad turned its head and started croaking in the direction of Ye Wanxi and the others. Although it was impossible to understand what it was croaking, one could feel its grievance and sadness.
Wu Yan: "..." Why are you so fierce to me, but so lenient to these outsiders? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Who are the real family here?!
Ye Wanxi didn't see what it was at first, but when the little thing made a sound, her heart skipped a beat.
He took two steps forward, carefully examined the little jade toad, and then tentatively asked, "Mixed dough? Is that you, rolled dough?"
The grandfather and grandson of Wu Chi outside the courtyard, along with everyone inside the village: "???"
Wu Yan, who was not far away, thought: "???" What the heck? Their Gu King looks nothing like that dough thing!
However, things turned out differently than anyone expected.
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the little jade toad became excited again, jumped onto Ye Wanxi's shoulder, and carefully nuzzled her ear.
This time, Feng Tianyu didn't attack it because he recognized the little thing's identity.
Not only does the jade toad resemble jade on its surface, but it also has the same body temperature. When Ye Wanxi was rubbed by it, she felt a slight coolness on her skin, and her whole body became much more awake.
"It really is you! What are you doing here? It turns out that the thing that felt strangely familiar to me ever since I entered the village was you! Where were you hiding before? Why are you only coming to find me now?"
"Croak... croak..." The little jade toad nestled on Ye Wanxi's shoulder, wanting to explain and complain, but unfortunately, due to the language barrier, it couldn't understand what it was saying after calling for a long time.
Just then, the little one who had been hiding in Ye Wanxi's handbag seemed to sense the approach of the dangerous object. Forgetting that they were still on someone else's territory, it struggled to crawl out of the bag.
When they came out, they saw their nemesis standing on their little master's shoulders, even acting cute towards him.
"This is outrageous!" the furious little rabbit yelled and pounced fiercely at the little jade toad.
Little Jade Toad was completely unprepared for the sneak attack and, caught off guard, was pulled off Ye Wanxi's shoulder by the little rabbit.
Only after landing did he see the true face of the person who ambushed him. He recognized his lifelong enemy almost at first glance and started fighting on the spot without saying a word.
"Hey, you two..." Not to mention Wu Yan and the others, even Ye Wanxi, the person involved, was dumbfounded and looked to her senior brother for help, "What... what should we do?"
Feng Tianyu calmly watched the fight from the sidelines, preparing to reap the benefits after the two little rascals were both exhausted (to take his junior sister for himself). He smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, just playing around."
"A joke?" Ye Wanxi glanced at the fluttering rabbit fur and the increasing amount of rabbit drool on the little jade toad, clearly doubting this explanation.
"They have...recognized each other."
Ye Wanxi looked surprised. She blinked and turned her gaze back to the two small animals.
Come to think of it, these two little guys didn't get along well in their past lives.
The bluebird is a bird, and although the jade toad is an amphibian, it is also on the menu of some birds. So, to exaggerate, the two little guys are natural enemies.
Back when we were in the mountains, we often saw the bluebird chasing after the jade toad and pecking at it. The jade toad would then try to swallow it and poison it. The two would fight back and forth, each winning and losing.
Only out of respect for Ye Wanxi did they spare the beast's life.
Watching the two little ones fight and squawk all the while, sounding like they were arguing or exchanging threats, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are they... arguing?"
"Um."
"...Do they understand?"
"should."
Ye Wanxi's expression became more complicated. Although they were both small animals, neither rabbits nor birds could be considered the same species as toads, right?
Why are you two so good at cross-species communication? And even though the little guy was reincarnated into another species, how come the dough can still see through its identity at a glance? You two probably have some kind of secret relationship, right?
The two people locked in combat were completely unaware that their relationship had undergone a qualitative change under Ye Wanxi's imagination.
After a chaotic battle, both of them were exhausted.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi hurriedly stepped forward and separated them with one hand each: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! We're all on the same side, how can you fight amongst yourselves?"
Wu Yan, who had been standing to the side unsure of what expression to make, thought, "..." What the hell? The Gu King is theirs, it's theirs!
After Ye Wanxi subdued the two children with overwhelming force, she began to lecture them: "You, you've been by my side for so long, how come you're still so clumsy? Meeting old friends is a happy thing, how can you hit people as soon as you see them? How impolite and hurtful!"
The little rabbit looked a bit aggrieved, lowered its head and whimpered twice. It rubbed its head against Ye Wanxi's palm and showed Ye Wanxi the bald spots where it had lost a few tufts of fur due to the frostbite during the earlier battle.
Ye Wanxi was indeed soft-hearted, and then started nagging at the little jade toad: "You're the same. You recognized who it was, so why did you still fight with it? I've said the same thing so many times. We're all family, we should love each other and not keep fighting. Let it go this time, but don't do it again next time."
The little jade toad was a bit annoyed. This scheming bastard had even resorted to a self-inflicted injury ruse! Poor thing, it was immune to all poisons, immortal and incorruptible, and even if it was injured, it would recover completely in a short time.
That guy is a weakling now; aside from smearing some saliva on him, he can't really cause any real harm.
Even if it wanted to use a self-inflicted injury as a ploy, it had no injuries to prove it, so it could only swallow its anger and plot how to secretly poison it to death!
Those who had watched the whole thing from the sidelines, and now witnessed Yu Chan obediently listening to the reprimand, were speechless: "..." This is truly unbelievable!
