"I……"
The dream-eating tapir was momentarily choked, but after a moment, it said defiantly yet proudly, "I had no choice but to do this!"
"But you can't take your anger out on my brother!"
Xiao Xinyan crossed her arms and stared at it with wide eyes.
Super angry, super cute and fierce!
What kind of hero takes out their anger on innocent people?
"We'll discuss this later. Let me finish what I have to say first."
Unable to explain the dream-eating tapir, I tried to change the subject.
Xiao Xinyan raised her chin, turned her head to the side, and said in a proud voice, "Yanyan doesn't want to listen to you! You're so nagging, like a little old man."
"..."
The Dream Eater was speechless. Human child, stop attacking my appearance, okay?
Nobody wants to be this ugly!
If given the chance, who wouldn't want to be a handsome man!
Taking a deep breath, the Dream Eater continued, forcing a smile, "Because babies don't yet have the ability to sleep through the night, their dreams are very short and can't satisfy my appetite, leaving me constantly hungry. As a result, the resentment within me grows deeper and deeper..."
"The deeper the resentment, the more I need the dream of a baby to fill the void. If I can't satisfy it, I will feel resentment again, and slowly it becomes a vicious cycle."
As it spoke, it revealed a very painful expression, as if it had swallowed feces.
"So why did you say all this to Yan Yan? Did you want Yan Yan to understand you and let you continue to do whatever you want around my brother?"
Xiao Xinyan narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly seeing through the Dream Eater's little scheme, and she decisively said:
"Yan Yan refuses! Yan Yan can tell you very clearly, don't even think about it! If you want to continue staying by my brother's side, Yan Yan will beat you every time she sees you!"
As she spoke, she deliberately waved her little fist at the Baku, looking very fierce!
Don't underestimate your fist; it can hurt a lot when you hit something bad!
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I've long since stopped wanting to stay by that brat's side from the Li family!"
The Dream Eater waved its hands repeatedly and shook its head like a rattle drum, as if it were in great pain. It complained, "Your brother's cries are much louder than the cries of other human cubs. Every time he cries, it's torture for my ears. I don't want to stay by his side at all."
The Dream Eater's hearing is several times better than a human's. When Li Mulang cried loudly, everyone in the Li family felt their heads buzzing, let alone the Dream Eater.
"Then get away from my brother! The farther away the better!"
Xiao Xinyan snorted and gave the order to leave.
The dream-eating tapir looked pained: "I want to, but I can't!"
It let out a mournful howl, its expression turning serious. Its eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Xinyan, and it said solemnly:
"This old man needs your help."
"My help?" Xiao Xinyan frowned, looking completely bewildered.
The Dream Eater nodded, floated in front of Xiao Xinyan, and tried to widen its eyes as if to make it look more sincere.
"Hmm, I see that you have extraordinary bones and are not an ordinary person. Moreover, I have seen so many humans, but only you can see me and only you can drive me away from humans. Therefore, I seriously suspect that you have the ability to drive away and purify resentment. Perhaps you can break the curse on me."
This is me, this is me...
These three words kept drilling into my ears, making an unbearable racket.
Xiao Xinyan frowned. "So you're asking me for help?"
beg……
Upon hearing Xiao Xinyan's words, the Dream Eater, whose ears had been drooping, suddenly became arrogant. It crossed its arms and said in a very noble manner:
"I, this great man, never ask for favors!"
It is a dream-eating tapir, a symbol of good fortune, capable of bringing happiness to humankind. Humans should be seeking it out, not the tapir seeking humankind's help.
What's more, the other party is a human child who is only three and a half years old.
It would be too embarrassing not to ask!
Xiao Xinyan glanced sideways at the Dream Eater with its ears perked up, then crossed her arms in the same haughty manner and said:
"Then Yan Yan refuses to help you."
Upon hearing the sound, the dream-eating tapir's ears, which had finally perked up, twitched involuntarily, and its eyes widened in disbelief:
"Why...?"
Why reject it?
Aren't human babies the easiest to fool? Or is it that we're not doing it right?
"Because of your bad attitude, this old lady doesn't want to help!"
Xiao Xinyan grumbled and mumbled, remembering the 'bald man' who possessed her fourth uncle's body and how he addressed her, and began to arrogantly call herself 'Grandma'.
Who told it to call itself "this great master"!
My great-aunt sounds like she's a generation above me!
Xiao Xinyan's lips curled into a proud smile as she raised an eyebrow at the Dream Eater:
"If you want your aunt to help you, then beg me!"
He's small in stature but incredibly clever and mischievous.
At this moment, the Dream Eater finally saw the true face of the little bundle of milk before it—
Don't let her young age fool you, she's got a sharp mind!
Fairy tales are all lies; human children are not easily fooled!
The dream-eating tapir gritted its teeth, but ultimately yielded to reality, and its two ears drooped down completely once again.
"Um... I'm begging you, please help me get rid of the resentment clinging to me!" it said awkwardly to Xiao Xinyan.
