Chapter 416 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator 19
"I want to go see too!" Xiao Guozi said, gesturing for Meng Qizhou to take her to join the fun.
She was surprised to find other ginseng fruits in this place, and she insisted on going to see them.
Meng Qizhou hesitated for a moment before not immediately agreeing.
He didn't know the specifics of the situation there, and regardless of whether the ginseng fruit was real or fake, it was already causing quite a stir, with the entire sect crowding over, so the scene was bound to be chaotic.
Such a lively atmosphere could easily lead to problems, so he'd better be careful.
If the ginseng fruit is real, once the news gets out, the sect will probably be anything but peaceful for a while.
This is no ordinary treasure; everyone wants to benefit from it.
If the ginseng fruit is fake... that's even worse. It's highly likely that they're after the fruit he has now, as such a coincidence is rare.
It's strange that so many ginseng fruits have appeared in such a short time.
Meng Qizhou stared at the small fruit in his arms and said, "I'll ask someone about it later. You don't need to go out today; just stay inside. If it really is a ginseng fruit, it can keep you company in the future."
Xiao Guozi was still a little dissatisfied. She would know for herself whether it was true or not, so why wait for someone else's news?
She mumbled, "But I want to go now. If you won't go, I'll go by myself. I want to go..."
Meng Qizhou pinched her cheek hard, "I've never seen anyone as naughty as you. I wonder what that ginseng fruit looks like. It must be more obedient than you. If it's real, and now the sect has another ginseng fruit, if you misbehave again, I'll just throw you away. It won't make a difference if I get another one..."
Upon hearing this, Little Fruit's mouth practically pouted to the sky.
What did he mean by that?
They don't even know if it's true or not, yet they've already started to dislike her. What kind of attitude is that?
Is this the attitude towards ginseng fruit?
How dare he speak to the ginseng fruit like that?
"Hmph—" the little fruit pouted, "It's definitely fake! If it were real, it would definitely be close to me, its kind. If you make me angry, I'll take it with me and run away. So you'll never see a ginseng fruit again."
"You still dare to look down on me!" Little Fruit continued to tug at his clothes in a fit of pique.
"Alright... let's go back and eat." She was making quite a racket, and Meng Qizhou almost dropped her. He had to cover her mouth to stop her chattering.
Little Fruit turned her head to look in that direction again, and he forcibly turned her head back to its original position.
"Don't look, or I'll gouge your eyes out," he threatened her.
The little fruit closed its eyes tightly, then covered them with its paws, and said in a pitiful voice, "No!"
"Then you'd better behave yourself." Meng Qizhou knew she wasn't actually afraid; she was just pretending to be pitiful. He continued, "If you behave, I won't punish you."
Little Fruit lay on him, plotting to sneak out and watch after she finished eating, since she couldn't rely on him anyway.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Meng Qizhou thought of something and added, "...I won't look down on you either."
Once we got back inside...
Little Guozi's attention was immediately drawn to the food on the table. She picked up a big chicken leg and ate it with great relish.
Meng Qizhou couldn't help but nag from the side: "Eat slowly, don't smear the oil on your face."
It's always the same bad habit of hers, and afterwards he's the one who cleans her up, wipes her mouth, washes her hands and face... It's so troublesome.
The little fruit ate a few bites, and seeing him like that, she just wanted to tease him.
She grinned and moved closer.
"What are you doing?" Meng Qizhou had a bad feeling.
What kind of mischief are they plotting now?
"Mmm~"
Little Fruit gave him a quick kiss, its oily lips landing on his right cheek.
A clear oil stain immediately appeared on it.
Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze and hadn't reacted, the little fruit stretched out its oily claws and rubbed them hard against his chin a few times to wipe the oil off its claws, and then took a big bite out of his left cheek.
On his cheeks, one on the left and one on the right, were two symmetrical oil stains.
And the area around the chin was covered in a mess of oil.
Little Guozi's "mischievous plan succeeded," and he continued eating with a giggle, while subtly moving to the side, afraid that he might make a move.
Meng Qizhou remained expressionless and did not speak for the time being.
Seeing his attitude, Xiao Guozi assumed he was ignoring her and didn't bother him anymore, focusing instead on eating.
Meng Qizhou frowned, his hands clenching slightly as he pondered something.
She just now...
Is she trying to please him?
Is she afraid that he will really find another ginseng fruit and then abandon her?
