In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao still couldn't escape.
I really don't have the strength to do it!
Even if I wanted to fight it, I couldn't. Besides, the tiger didn't bite or attack me. Its hard exterior was completely useless.
What a terrible thing this is!
The tiger realized it was lying on the spirit herb, and its first instinct was to check the bent part of it. It didn't know that the herb was very tough, so it was afraid that it would break the spirit herb.
He looked at the folded part of the herb's rootstock. It was just a simple fold, without any other wounds or signs of breaking. It was very soft, and when he pinched it, it felt bouncy and chewy.
"Hmm, no problem," he said, and then shifted his attention elsewhere.
Looking at the lush green herb, the tiger decisively lowered its head, gently touching the leaves with its muzzle, tracing the patterns and growth direction, and licking its way down.
No way, oh dear.
Xu Qiaoqiao felt a bit overwhelmed. What was wrong with this tiger that liked to lick things at the drop of a hat?
She frantically tried to dodge the tiger's tongue, but it was all in vain.
If it's something to be licked, then it's something to be licked.
If it were in animal form, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly thought of this. If it were in animal form, she suddenly realized that she had a problem, that is, she could completely accept this kind of licking.
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
This is something he does before he leaves each time. The difference is that before, this plant was just a living thing, without its own thoughts, but now that Xu Qiaoqiao has come, the difference is huge.
The tiger licked the herb all over, especially its face. For some reason, he paid special attention to the face; the barbs on it tickled Xu Qiaoqiao. Of course, that wasn't the most important feeling.
Rather—I'm dirty!
Xu Qiaoqiao was sobbing, her face showing a crying expression, which made Tiger even more amused. He knew that her face could have all sorts of different expressions, just like the humans he had seen, but he still found it incredible.
He really wanted to go back and ask the elders in his clan about this phenomenon.
However, the prerequisite is to hide the characteristics of this spiritual herb; otherwise, if it is discovered, the spiritual herb will no longer be mine.
Thinking this, the tiger plucked one of Xu Qiaoqiao's leaves.
Since this medicinal herb hasn't reached its peak medicinal effect yet and can't be eaten, I can only lick it to satisfy my craving and eat some leaves or something. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist and would eat it prematurely.
After licking it, the tiger quickly ran away, clutching the torn leaf in its mouth, disappearing in a flash just as fast as it had come.
Holy crap!
This tiger even plucks its own leaves?
This couldn't be any more outrageous. Xu Qiaoqiao twisted her body desperately, and the leaves rustled incessantly, as if she were going crazy.
Waaaaah, it's really filthy! Xu Qiaoqiao felt that everything she could sense and smell was the scent of that tiger's ear. It was truly omnipresent. This is too difficult. Junjun, I didn't do it on purpose. I was forced to. If you find out later, you must believe me!
He was covered in the tiger's scent, and he even licked the leaves. Just thinking about it made Xu Qiaoqiao angrier. Although being rubbed by furry things was a very happy thing, being licked by them, especially so many times, was another matter.
Moreover, Xu Qiaoqiao was certain that this tiger never brushed its teeth before eating.
It smells terrible, it's awful.
Perhaps God took pity on Xu Qiaoqiao, for as night fell, it rained heavily; the raindrops hitting her body felt incredibly strong.
There hadn't been any rain for the previous two months, so when the tiger first licked Xu Qiaoqiao, the drool left on its ear had only dried, but it was still sticky.
Now, with today's licking, it's even more uncomfortable. Although the tiger did manage to lick all the dust off Xu Qiaoqiao, it left behind something even stickier!
Raindrops fell on Xu Qiaoqiao, cool and refreshing, washing away all the stains.
Wow.
Xu Qiaoqiao swayed her body frantically in the air, bending all her leaves and rubbing them against the stem, as if she were taking a bath. It was a wonderful feeling.
The sky was clear after the rain, the moon peeked out, and a few scattered stars twinkled in the sky, making it look especially beautiful.
Beep beep~
A few raindrops clung to the lush green leaves. After taking a good bath in the rain, Xu Qiaoqiao was in a great mood. All the dark clouds that had accumulated before had dissipated, and her heart was now filled with bright sunshine.
However, being wet all over was still a bit uncomfortable. Xu Qiaoqiao shook her leaves, making circles very quickly and producing a constant rustling sound.
Since the conditions weren't right, we had to resort to the most primitive method to solve the problem.
She bent down the upper part of the stem, which felt warm. She had felt more comfortable when the moon came out earlier, a feeling she had experienced before, when she was struck by lightning on the first day.
But nothing really changes.
Xu Qiaoqiao carefully examined the roots and stems. They were noticeably cleaner after being washed, and they emitted a faint fragrance, similar to the smell of medicinal herbs. It wasn't unpleasant; in fact, it made her feel at ease.
But there are no other problems.
Xu Qiaoqiao rotated the upper part of the stem 180 degrees to see what it looked like from the back. She also carefully examined the part with leaves and the part of the stem with her face on it. She looked like a twisted rope, very twisted.
There's nothing wrong with it. Could it be that I'm overthinking it and having a misperception?
Maybe.
Perhaps the rain made her feel so comfortable that she had this illusion, since there hadn't been any rain here for two months and her roots had just absorbed plenty of water.
After the check-up, Xu Qiaoqiao slowly twisted her body back to its original position, then yawned, feeling sleepy.
Forget it, let's go to sleep.
The moon is so high in the sky, it must be getting late, I need to go to sleep.
The vast grassland remained devoid of life, except for the exceptionally vigorous growth of weeds and the occasional bird flying overhead; nothing else existed.
Xu Qiaoqiao's roots were firmly planted in the soil, and she didn't notice any small animals coming by. These small animals refer to those animals that live in the soil, such as earthworms, ants, and other small insects.
It was very quiet.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, swirling up a few weeds and creating waves of grass; the weather was getting colder.
Xu Qiaoqiao keenly sensed the extent of the weather change. Yesterday was a sunny day with intense direct sunlight, but today it was a day of continuous rain. She also noticed that most of the grass on the ground had turned yellow instantly.
That's amazing!
