Chapter 156 Self-deception



I didn't expect that after going around in circles, we would meet here again.

And their speed is so much slower than theirs.

Thinking of this, Luye turned his eyes and looked at the bamboo basket behind them.

Their bamboo baskets contained some flowers he didn't recognize.

The flowers are white and look very ordinary.

But he knew that everyone who entered the Tengshe Secret Realm was there for the treasure.

If these flowers were really ordinary, these four people would not have picked them.

Thinking about it, Luye couldn't help but take another look.

A dwarf turned around and caught his gaze. He said unhappily, "What are you looking at? These dragon tooth flowers are all ours. Don't even think about taking them!"

"Tsk, who cares?" Lu Ye rolled his eyes in disdain and patted the water bottle hanging on his waist: "See, this water bottle of mine is filled with lake water. I have a pot of treasures, why would I care about your broken flowers?"

"It's just a pot of water, what's so rare about it..."

Before the dwarf could finish his words, he was pulled back by the tall man next to him.

The tall boy glared at him, then looked at Shikano and smiled slightly.

"Little brother, there is no water in the four of us kettles. Can you give us some water?"

"That won't do!" Luye held the kettle in his arms like a baby: "The lake water is right in front of you. If you want to drink, just use the kettle to fill it up."

Hearing what Shikano said, the tall boy turned and looked at the people in the lake.

Lin Dongdong is scooping water to wash his face.

As the dirt on his face was washed away, his face looked white and plump.

But the water around him changed color.

The tall boy frowned and looked away.

"Little brother, if you don't want to give me the water, then forget it. There's no need to humiliate us like this. Although we are thirsty, we are not thirsty enough to drink such dirty water. Humph!"

The tall boy snorted coldly and turned away.

The other three young men also quickly followed.

Shikano watched the four people walk away and shook his head.

"What a bunch of ignorant people! They actually think the lake water is dirty." As he said this, he turned his head to look at the lake, and suddenly felt his stomach churning: "Ugh!"

It's not just a little dirty, it's too dirty!

Fortunately, he was the first one to go into the water, and his kettle was filled with lake water.

Otherwise, even if this lake water could nourish his dantian, he would definitely not drink it.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Lu Lian came back, everyone else had also gone ashore.

Their pants were soaked, but because there were girls around, they didn't dare to take off their pants and dry them in the sun.

Yan Liang looked around and his eyes finally fell on the dense forest not far away.

"There's no one over there, let's go over there and dry our pants!"

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

Everyone responded and followed him into the dense forest.

Luye and Mu Yansong's pants were already half-dried in the sun, so they did not follow.

Su Xiaoxiao came under the big tree and hung her wet clothes on the branches.

Then, she came and sat next to Mu Yansong, and took out a small white flower from the storage space.

"Just now, when my aunt and I were changing clothes, I found some dragon tooth flowers. We'll divide them up after we get back."

"This is what you two found. You don't have to share it with us. Keep it for yourselves."

Hearing Mu Yansong's words, Lu Ye nodded quickly.

"That's right! Xiaoxiao, you don't have to think about us for everything. If it was a treasure we discovered together, we should split it equally. But this was discovered by you and your aunt, and we didn't contribute anything, so how can we have the nerve to take a piece of the pie?"

What Lu Ye said makes some sense.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation.

"Okay! Then I'll share these dragon tooth flowers with my aunt."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao put the dragon tooth flower back into the storage ring.

Luye looked at her ring and touched his chin.

"Xiaoxiao, what's the use of this dragon tooth flower?"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"I don't know either. My aunt said it was a good thing, so we went to pick it."

"This dragon tooth flower, eaten alone, can cure all kinds of poisons. Some high-level potions also require dragon tooth flowers. This flower is quite rare."

As she spoke, Lu Lian turned to look at Lu Ye, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"You little rascal, I usually tell you to study more, but you only know how to play. You don't even know the function of dragon tooth flower."

"Xiaoxiao doesn't know either. Why...why are you only talking about me?"

"Xiaoxiao is only four years old. How old are you? You're twelve years old, and you're actually competing with Xiaoxiao. Why don't you compete with Xiaoxiao in martial arts?"

"Even if we compete in martial arts, I'm not that far behind!"

Shikano lowered his head and muttered quietly.

Lu Lian was very close to him and heard his words clearly.

"You are eight years older than her, but your martial arts skills are not as good as hers. How dare you say that the difference is not big?"

Lu Lian glared at him, so angry that she wanted to beat her chest.

She knew that the bad boy would only make her angry, and that cute girls were better.

How could a girl like Su Xiaoxiao, who is so cute and has great martial arts skills, not be a member of her Lu family?

Oh, what a pity!

After drying their clothes, everyone picked some wild fruits and brought them back.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after they drank the lake water, the feeling of hunger disappeared.

But it’s noon already, so we still need to eat.

The twelve people divided the fruit and rested for a while before continuing on their journey.

"Xiaoxiao, look at me, have I lost weight?"

Lin Dongdong followed Su Xiaoxiao, jumping up and down excitedly.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him for a while, then shook her head: "No!"

"Impossible!" Lin Dongdong didn't believe it: "I clearly feel as light as a swallow, I must have lost weight!"

"It's probably because there are too many impurities in your body. Once they're cleared, your body will naturally feel lighter. But you really haven't lost any weight at all, so stop deceiving yourself."

"Impossible, I don't believe it. I've obviously lost weight." Lin Dongdong pursed his lips and jumped twice: "Look, I can jump higher than before."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and couldn't bear to listen any longer.

She found that no matter in the past or now, fat people have the same illusion - they have become thinner!

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao ignored him, Lin Dongdong was not convinced.

He turned to look at Yan Liang, aggrieved: "Yan Liang, you are the most honest person. Tell me quickly, have I really lost weight?"

"Yeah, I've lost weight, but it's not noticeable!"

Lin Dongdong was happy to get the answer he wanted.

He walked quickly forward and returned to Su Xiaoxiao's side again.

"Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? Yan Liang said I've lost weight."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said nothing.

She really didn't expect that the honest and upright Yan Liang was forced by Lin Dongdong to become a sinister boy.

If you don’t look noticeably thinner, that doesn’t mean you haven’t lost weight.

Only Lin Dongdong couldn't tell that Yan Liang was just trying to fool him.
