"You know what! You really can't believe it! This bullfrog is actually quite handsome!"
Lu Qing also squatted down to look.
Unlike the other black and dirty bullfrogs, this one had crystal-clear green skin, big, adorable eyes, and even its sitting posture gave off an elegant feeling.
Lu Qing was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even hear Gu Xicheng calling her.
Gu Xicheng couldn't help but wonder:
"What are they looking at so intently?!"
He walked over to Lu Qing and asked:
What are you looking at?
Lu Qing pointed to the beautiful bullfrog: "Look at it, isn't it pretty?"
Gu Xicheng crouched down to examine the bullfrog, then smiled and said:
"She is quite pretty, but not even a fraction as pretty as you."
"Alright! If you think it's pretty, I'll have the boss fry it for you later."
Just as Gu Xicheng was about to leave with Lu Qing, the beautiful bullfrog suddenly hopped towards Gu Xicheng.
If it weren't for the net on the fish tank, that bullfrog would probably have flown right up to Xicheng's face.
Gu Xicheng was startled, then frowned and said:
"You get upset just from looking at me? You think you can just pop out here?"
"Boss, I want this bullfrog. Fry it!"
The bullfrog seemed to understand human speech and croaked loudly, "Croak! Croak! Croak!"
The cries were exceptionally pitiful, as if it were begging for mercy.
Lu Qing sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped the boss from grabbing it and skinning it.
"Wait a minute! Boss, could you find me a small tank? I think this bullfrog is quite pretty, and I'd like to take it home and keep it."
"You want to raise bullfrogs?? This..." The boss was somewhat surprised.
Gu Xicheng said directly, "Just do as she says, the price will be calculated separately."
"Okay! I'll go find a small fish tank and install it for you right away!"
"Money talks," the owner said, pulling the bullfrog towards the kitchen while remarking.
"Little guy, you've met a benefactor today!"
By the time the owner had packed up the bullfrog and delivered it to Lu Qing, their hot pot had also arrived.
Each person had a golden, crispy fried bullfrog in front of them, while a pot of bright red bullfrog hot pot was simmering inside.
The live bullfrog was placed on the table, watching as the group of people ate its own kind.
This is no different from a death row inmate watching someone else behead.
Lu Qing frowned as he saw it trembling all over:
"Are you cold? Why are you shivering like that? Should I put you in the pot to warm you up?"
Hearing this, Gu Xicheng couldn't help but laugh:
"Qingqing, just say you want to eat it, and I'll have the boss slaughter it!"
The bullfrog immediately stopped shaking and shook its head repeatedly at Gu Xicheng.
Gu Xicheng was slightly taken aback:
"How come it... seems to understand what we're saying?"
Lu Qing answered while eating:
"Yeah!! Otherwise, why would I have asked the boss to pack it up? It's really handsome!"
"How can a bullfrog understand us? Could it be a monster?" Gu Fei exclaimed.
Lu Qing's face was full of speechlessness:
"If it were a monster, could it be trapped in a mere fish tank?"
Cheng Yiyi tapped on the fish tank lid and asked:
"Little frog, can you really understand what we're saying?"
The bullfrog nodded, and a hint of sadness and helplessness could be seen on its frog face.
"Qingqing, what exactly happened?" Cheng Yiyi asked.
Lu Qing: "Eat first, then take it home and ask it."
"Oh! Then give me five more fried bullfrogs!" Cheng Yiyi shouted.
Lu Qing: "I'll add ten more!"
The bullfrogs in the fish tank, hearing their words, silently shrank their heads and pretended to be quails, afraid that they would blow them up at any moment.
The meal took a full hour and a half, and the table was piled high with bullfrog bones.
Lu Qing alone devoured thirty bullfrogs. If Gu Xicheng hadn't said that eating too many of these things was bad, she probably would have finished off all the ones the boss kept in the tank.
Lu Qing and the others didn't rush back to their dorms. Instead, they went to the park and found a secluded spot.
"Qingqing, don't you have evening self-study tonight?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Lu Qing: "The student council is having recruitment interviews tonight, so evening self-study is canceled, otherwise we would have been late already."
"Don't you want to join the student council?" Gu Xicheng asked again.
"The interviews will last for several days, and because of what happened last time, everyone is still traumatized. Now, basically, as long as you submit an application form, you can get in," Cheng Yiyi said.
"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's take a look at this bullfrog first!"
Lu Qing placed the fish tank on the stone table in the park.
“Yes! Why can this bullfrog understand human speech?” Leng Wei asked.
Lu Qing: "Because it was originally a person."
As he spoke, Lu Qing formed hand seals and began to cast a spell.
As a beam of golden light poured into the bullfrog's head, a person's soul floated out of the bullfrog's body.
She was a pretty woman with a great figure, probably in her thirties, but she took very good care of herself.
As soon as she emerged from the bullfrog's body, she burst into tears, crying and shouting:
"I've finally turned back into a human!"
Leng Wei looked at her and suddenly exclaimed:
"You are Zhao Xuanxuan!"
The woman's soul instantly stopped crying, she composed herself, and blinked her large eyes at Leng Wei:
"You know me? You're not a fan of mine, are you?!"
Leng Wei's lips twitched, and she gave a cold laugh:
"Yes! I'm your fan, but a hater!"
"Weiwei, do you know her?" Lu Qing asked.
Leng Wei shrugged:
"I wouldn't say I know her. She's at most a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry. She has some fame, but not much. Recently, she made it to the trending topics because she was bothering Jue Ge on set, and then I became her hater."
Lu Qing was at a loss for words.
This woman is in the same industry as her fifth brother, and she even harassed him.
I should have known better than to save her!
Zhao Xuanxuan protested against Leng Wei's words:
"I didn't mean to pester Chu Qianjue. I just wanted to have a friendly conversation with him for work. After all, we're on the same set and we even have scenes together. How could we not say a word to each other!"
Leng Wei: "Does normal communication require forcibly breaking into Brother Jue's RV?"
Zhao Xuanxuan: "Uh..."
Leng Wei: "You were at most the fifth female lead in that drama, with less screen time than Jue Ge. You needed to have in-depth conversations with him to the point of barging into his RV in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Xuanxuan's arrogance is waning:
"I...I just wanted to ride on the coattails of that top celebrity's popularity!"
"You think you're worthy to ride on my brother Jue's popularity?" Leng Wei retorted angrily.
Zhao Xuanxuan was also furious: "What business is it of yours if I'm trying to ride the wave of popularity, you brainless fan!"
Leng Wei: "How dare you call me a brainless fan!"
Zhao Xuanxuan: "So what if I cursed at you?"
Leng Wei gritted her teeth: "If I had known, I should have had the boss turn you into fried bullfrog!"
Zhao Xuanxuan snorted coldly: "I'm not counting on you to save me!"
After saying that, she looked at Lu Qing and said, "This pretty little sister is the master who can save me!"
Leng Wei grinned strangely.
"Really? Zhao Xuanxuan, do you know who she is?"
Zhao Xuanxuan: "Of course I know! She's my savior who can save me and turn me back into a human!"
Leng Wei: "The guy you broke into the RV in the middle of the night to harass her and try to ride on her popularity, Jue Ge, is her own brother!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanxuan's smile instantly froze.
