Chapter 330 Ear Mouse as a Pet
"Hey, I know. This is the Ear Mouse. I just saw it in the Warcraft Treasure Book this afternoon."
Yunhe pointed at the gray furry creature that came out of the cave under Yunqimu's feet and shouted with wide eyes.
Upon seeing this, Du Luke hurriedly took out the borrowed "Warcraft Treasure Book" and rummaged through it.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, his gaze fell on one of the pages, and he shouted, "I found it, the ear mouse. It looks like a mouse, but has the head of a rabbit and the body of a deer. It sounds like a dog, and it flies with its tail. It is not eaten, and it can ward off all kinds of poisons."
"Don't read those tongue-twisting ones, read something fluent and easy to understand." Branno shouted at Duluk in frustration. Guard Du looked like a rough man, but why was there a literary young man in his heart who loved those tongue-twisting ancient documents and those elegant readings of the aristocracy?
"Oh." Duluk didn't get annoyed. He grinned and continued reading. "The ear mouse is an animal similar in size to a squirrel. Its fur color varies, ranging from pure white to pure black to almost every color. It has small but powerful claws and a furry tail that is almost as long as its body. It also has two long ears on its head. They extend from the back of its head like two wings and stand upright. This pair of ears, combined with the ear mouse's three-lobed mouth, makes its face look like a shrunken rabbit."
Branno looked at the gray furry creature that crawled out of the cave, holding a flower and chewing it with its three-petaled mouth. After comparing it carefully, he found that it was indeed the same as the description read by Duruk.
The key point was that this little creature's eyes were black, not scarlet, very different from those mutant or berserk beasts. Seeing them, it didn't actively attack them. Instead, it darted around them as if it wasn't afraid of them, jumping up and down to pick flowers.
When it finally picked a flower bud that satisfied it, it squatted there and nibbled on it with its two small paws, looking inexplicably well-behaved.
Even as a man, Branno thought this little thing was kind of cute.
"Take a look at this ear mouse to see if it has any other characteristics, such as what effect it would have if it were slaughtered and eaten."
Duluk turned a page and read for a while. It took him a long time to finally utter a word, "As a pet."
"What?"
"Killing them and eating their meat doesn't do much good. Their biggest use is as pets, which are pleasing to the eyes and can occasionally help their owners identify whether food is poisonous or not."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's enthusiasm for fighting monsters immediately disappeared.
Branno, on the other hand, still looked very excited, his eyes still shining. "As a pet, that's great. I want to take one home. When I get to the party, I'll put this little thing on my shoulder and I'll definitely be the most handsome guy at the party."
Branno's idea is actually correct. The beasts in the interstellar space are either transformed from orcs of the Orc Empire, or they are berserk and mutated beasts that have a tendency to attack humans. Beasts that are docile and harmless and can serve as pets for humans are not completely absent, but they are extremely rare.
Once upon a time, a young viscount was lucky enough to get an ugly bald lizard. The lizard had only 10% dark matter in its body and was docile in nature. It didn't care if anyone touched it. It was so well-behaved that it didn't even look like an animal.
Because of this, the young viscount became very famous, and even he, a big celebrity at the banquet, was overshadowed by him.
This shows how lucky it is to have a pet, and it is something worth showing off.
Liu Shaoqi also showed an moved expression on his face, but his thoughts were completely different from Branno's.
Branno wanted to take his pet with him to be the most beautiful one at the banquet, but Liu Shaoqi wanted to catch some and bring them back to the empire for auction, which would surely fetch a high price.
For Liu Shaoqi, who was born on a garbage planet, a pet that can be shown off is far less important than the energy coins that can be held in his hands.
Wu Xingyu also shared the same idea as him. No wonder Wu Xingyu admired Liu Shaoqi so much in the beginning, saved him, and brought him by his side as his confidant.
However, this time Wu Xingyu didn't say it as bluntly as before. Instead, he looked down at Yun Qimu, who had left his arms but was still standing beside him, and asked carefully, "Do you want a pet? I'll catch one for you?"
Yun Qimu was still immersed in the regret of her own stupid and embarrassing behavior, her cheeks flushed. When she heard Wu Xingyu's question, she blinked and pursed her lips, "Ah, yes, it's quite cute to be a pet."
Wu Xingyu treated this casual remark as an imperial decree. The stern face of the beautiful woman immediately became serious, and her dark eyes began to scan the surroundings like lightning.
In addition to the gray little thing that just crawled out of the small hole under Yun Qimu's feet, there were other ear mice of different colors hiding in the flowers.
Pure black, pure white, pink, colorful
There were all kinds of colors, Wu Xingyu frowned, and was dazzled by the choices.
There were too many colors. Even if he could grab one of each, it would still be too many. Helplessly, Wu Xingyu lowered his head and asked Yun Qimu in a gentle voice, "What color do you want?"
Warm breath sprayed on the side of her face. Yun Qimu glanced at his thin lips with beautiful curves, took a step away uncomfortably, and said in a muffled voice, "White, pure white looks better."
Looking at Yun Qimu who was distancing himself from him, a look of disappointment flashed in Wu Xingyu's eyes. After saying "OK", he quickly went to catch the pure white ear mouse in the flowers.
On the way of catching the eared mouse, he also figured it out. When his father pursued his mother, he did not succeed in one try, but had to go through repeated attempts, just like Tang Monk who went through 81 difficulties in his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
His father also wrote in his experience that when pursuing the girl you love, you must be persistent. Only by being unyielding can your sincerity be reflected. Moreover, the process of pursuing someone is an ambiguous and enjoyable thing, which is worth savoring even after you are really together.
Having written this, his father added a few boastful remarks, saying that after he and his mother got together, his mother had said several times that she missed the youthful ambiguity when he pursued her, and that the casual touch of her hand would make her blush and her heart beat faster.
Thinking of this, Wu Xingyu was no longer panicked. Since he couldn't get Yun Qimu to agree to be his third prince's consort so quickly, let them both enjoy the fun of the pursuit process.
Seeing that Wu Xingyu has taken the lead in catching ear mice, others cannot fall behind.
Branno excitedly rolled up his sleeves and called out to Yunhe, the only person he could use. "Yunhe, Yunhe, help me catch a few good-looking ones. I'll carefully select the most beautiful ones and I'll pay you for your work."
Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest and replied happily, "No problem, I'll catch a few more for you."
