Chapter 102 Xiawei Temple He was afraid of hurting her.
[What is this male guest saying? It has a kind of aesthetic appeal to scrolling through your phone on a high-speed train; it takes one second to scroll and three seconds to load.]
What is high-speed rail?
[I think I understand now. The headless stone demon was introducing this place to the little witch, and this must be the headless stone demon's home turf.]
The viewers in the live stream had no idea what kind of interaction Yu Naixin had with the headless stone ghost before this episode started.
When Yu Naixin first discovered the cave, she thought it was the territory of the headless stone ghost, but when she walked in sitting on the headless stone ghost's shoulder, she rejected this guess.
The headless stone ghost did not change after entering the cave. It remained in the same state as when it was outside the cave, and even its spiritual energy fluctuations were very calm, which did not conform to the rule that the host would give the corresponding dungeon guest a powerful buff.
This is just an ordinary cave.
After observing the situation inside the cave for a while, Yu Naixin felt that this living space, personally certified by the headless stone ghost, was so simple that it resembled a large rat hole, and it didn't even have any food stored in it like a typical rat hole; it was completely empty.
However, Yu Naixin still showed great interest. She jumped down from the headless stone ghost's shoulder and began to seriously explore the surroundings.
At the same time, she didn't forget to laugh and respond to the headless stone ghost's words: "So this is the house where my crush lives."
Wow! The female guest is so clever! She directly referred to Shi Gui as "my ideal male guest"! And her tone and expression were so natural, it felt like she was unintentionally revealing her true feelings!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 2 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Geng Naihe"!]
This little witch is really good at flirting!
[The female guest's unwavering composure in calling this dilapidated cave a house shows how much she adores the headless stone ghost...]
A moment later, Yu Naixin did indeed discover something noteworthy.
On the higher ground near the outside of the cave, where snow had already begun to cover the area, a few small pink and white flowers were blooming sporadically.
The flowers are trumpet-shaped, with a few clustered together. Each flower has five petals, with the outer side of the petals being light pink and the inner side near the stamen being deep purplish-red.
Yu Naixin: "...?!"
Identifying the type of flower is not difficult for Yu Naixin; this is Rehmannia glutinosa, a common Chinese herbal medicine with the effect of replenishing essence and nourishing deficiency.
Yu Naixin was surprised that although this flower grows in relatively northern regions, it is not a particularly cold-resistant plant. In this icy and snowy environment, it is impossible for it to bloom so brightly, as if it has nothing to do with the wind and snow.
However, Yu Naixin thought about it and realized that the flowering period of Rehmannia glutinosa is generally in May or June of the Gregorian calendar, but it is also common to be a month earlier or later, which matches the "Lotus Month" in Xiawei Temple.
Whether it's the interior of Xiawei Temple visited in the last simulation or the exterior of Xiawei Temple in this simulation, both belong to the same program segment, "Xiawei Temple," and there must be some connection between the two.
Yu Naixin turned around and looked at the headless stone ghost.
The headless stone ghost was still standing in the spot where Yu Naixin had jumped off his shoulder, looking a bit dazed. However, the direction he was facing, the direction that most people would look in, was constantly moving left and right following Yu Naixin.
[This male guest seems kind of cute.]
Oh my god, the headless stone goblin's clumsy yet earnest attempts to win me over are so touching! Pure romance fans are already in tears!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "biaji"!]
I didn't even see what the little witch was looking at just now; the snow was so white it was blinding.
[It looks like there's something on the ceiling above the cave entrance? The female guest's observation was too quick; I only saw her expression change slightly before she turned to look at the male guest. In the "Heartbeat 1000%" live stream, each guest's perspective follows the guest themselves; we viewers can't see what the guests aren't looking at...]
Yu Naixin was also amused by the clumsy movements of the headless stone ghost.
"Come on!" Yu Naixin smiled and waved to the headless stone ghost. "Could you please lift me up a bit? Like before, I can't reach the top!"
When the headless stone ghost heard Yu Naixin call its name, it immediately took a step toward Yu Naixin, but then stopped, not quite understanding what Yu Naixin meant.
Yu Naixin showed no impatience whatsoever. She deliberately slowed down her speech, raised her tone, and repeated to the headless stone ghost, "Could you please—like before, put me on your shoulders and lift me up high—?"
[Help! I used to think that deliberately using reduplicated words was a bit disgusting, but coming from this female guest, it's so sweet and cute! Not at all pretentious! And so sunny and energetic!]
Do you even know what the ultimate sweet girl's coquettishness is?!
So cute! Both the male and female guests are adorable! Their interactions are doubly adorable! I'm seriously shipping them!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "为森么"!]
Headless Stone Demon: "...!!"
This time, the headless stone ghost finally understood Yu Naixin's intention and immediately ran over in three steps.
Subconsciously reaching out, the headless stone demon seemed to want to pick up Yu Naixin with both hands, but looking at the girl in front of him who was smiling at him, and recalling the trace of warmth left on his right index finger, the headless stone demon withdrew his hand and did not dare to touch her.
He was afraid of hurting her because she was so small and delicate.
Yu Naixin saw all of this and, smiling, took the initiative to sit on the headless stone ghost's shoulder, just like before, by holding onto one of its arms.
Now, Yu Naixin only needs to reach out her hand to touch those few Rehmannia flowers.
Pushing aside the snow around the flowers, the deep green leaves of the Rehmannia glutinosa were finally revealed, and like the flowers, they were very fresh and full of vitality.
The viewers in the live stream finally got a good look at the flowers.
【What?! What kind of flower is this? Why can it bloom in the snow? I only remember plum blossoms blooming in the snow!】
[That little flower looks so familiar! I'm sure I've seen her before. Isn't this a special item from the show's episode?]
This is Rehmannia glutinosa flower, a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat kidney deficiency.
[It's known that the scenery within each segment of the program is closely related to the corresponding guest. Why would they specifically plant this thing in front of the door? Is the headless stone ghost suffering from kidney deficiency?]
[Rehmannia glutinosa flowers aren't only for treating kidney deficiency; they can also clear heat, quench thirst, treat heat toxins, and treat eczema... but these have nothing to do with the headless stone ghost, right?]
Yu Naixin gently stroked the few rehmannia flowers a few times, then looked down at the headless stone ghost and asked, "May I pick a few?"
After all, it's something that belongs to someone else's doorstep, and I don't have any grudge against the headless stone ghost for the time being, so I still need to ask the owner's opinion.
The headless stone golem always seemed to be a few beats slower in reacting. After a while, it finally understood what Yu Naixin meant, and a muffled, hoarse voice came from the severed neck: "Yes! Honey pot, you can take it!"
Yu Naixin's eyes flashed.
The word "honey pot" was the first time Yu Naixin had ever heard the headless stone ghost utter it so fluently.
The background of "Xiawei Temple" should be related to the place where she is from. The syllables of "honey pot" are neither simple nor ordinary, but the headless stone ghost can say them so fluently, which is obviously very special information.
"Honey Pot" is a folk name for Rehmannia glutinosa, named for the sweet nectar inside its trumpet-shaped flower buds, which is very popular with children.
Yu Naixin herself often picked two kinds of flowers to drink the sweet water when she was a child, one of which was Rehmannia glutinosa and the other was Salvia splendens.
Yu Naixin plucked a whole rehmannia flower from its root, and holding the flower, continued talking to the headless stone ghost: "So this is called 'Honey Pot'? Is it very sweet?"
"Sweet!" The headless stone goblin replied decisively.
However, when Yu Naixin tried to expand on the topic, the headless stone ghost seemed to have run out of memory and couldn't respond to any of Yu Naixin's various subtle and overt questions.
Yu Naixin was not lacking in patience, and the headless stone ghost was very cooperative. Unfortunately, no new information was revealed from the headless stone ghost until Yu Naixin finally stopped asking questions.
[Damn, I'm getting tired of listening to this. The female guest is still so persistent in trying to inspire the headless stone ghost... She loves him so much!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 3 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "How Did I Know?"!]
[Does the male guest only have a few words in his brain? He really can't get anything else out of me.]
[So the headless stone ghost wasn't suffering from kidney deficiency, but rather brain deficiency?]
[Wait, if he's mentally unstable, would he need to use "originally"? It's obvious at a glance!]
The questioning stopped there. Yu Naixin looked at the Rehmannia glutinosa flower in her hand, but couldn't sense anything special from it.
Let's find a more efficient way.
Since the headless stone ghost was quite obedient to her now, Yu Naixin simply took out a jade and white bone mahjong tile from her inventory and handed it to him with a smile: "I want to give you a gift!"
As expected, the headless stone demon showed no resistance and simply raised its hand to take the jade and white bone mahjong tile.
The Jade Bone Mahjong set wasn't very big in Yu Naixin's hand, and it looked even smaller in the hands of the headless stone ghost. The headless stone ghost belatedly realized that it might have to handle it carefully, but by then the Jade Bone Mahjong set had already taken effect, turning into a wisp of smoke and merging into the headless stone ghost's body.
The headless stone goblin's fingers unconsciously clenched in the air a few times, but it didn't grasp anything.
Then, Yu Naixin began to manipulate the spiritual energy threads in her hand, and the headless stone ghost officially came under her control.
Yu Naixin's purpose was clear: to examine the fragments of the headless stone ghost's memories.
