Chapter 312

The three cubs rushed out of the "crime scene" with dust on their faces, looking back at the collapsed kitchen. They swore that they had never intentionally created a burden for their husband! It was the firewood in the kitchen that caused the accident.

The little phoenix opened her mouth and blew out a puff of black smoke: "Are you still cooking...?"

Little Bai Ze Little Qilin: "..."

There was a rumbling sound of collapse in my ears. The three coal balls were so dark that I couldn't see each other's expressions, but the pain in their eyes was the same.

"Forget it..." The little Qilin lay on the ground, "It feels like the more we help, the more busy we become——"

The kitchen collapsed with a loud noise. A piece of rubble jumped out of the fire and hit the little Qilin's tail, scaring it.

Three coal briquettes rose from the ground with a humming sound and began to put out the fire in a hurry. Black smoke rose high into the sky. If you didn't know, you would have thought that the forest was on fire and was about to burn down the entire mountain.

When Yuchuan realized something was wrong, he saw a very familiar scene—ruins that were unrecognizable, with black smoke billowing out of the ruins. Three black balls were showing off their magical powers on the ruins, and the three types of spiritual energy, fire, earth, and gold, were busy doing their respective jobs.

He sighed, pulled the three cubs down from the dangerous ruins, and skillfully used the formation to summon water to put out the fire, and then mobilized earth-based spiritual power to raze the ruins to the ground.

The three cubs, who had been in trouble for the Nth time, squatted quietly beside him, heads touching, and chirped quietly———

"Mr. usually does this, why doesn't he have a fried kitchen?"

"It must be the firewood that has the problem, not us!"

"The gentleman also poured the oil first and then the water. Why didn't the oil he poured fly? There must be some little secret that we don't know!"

"This time it was an accident. It won't happen again for the fifth time!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This time it was a mistake!"

"You don't have to speak so loudly! We are having a confidential conversation! A confidential conversation!"

Yuchuan, who listened to the three cubs' whispers, said: "..."

He gave a helpless smile and used his spiritual power to keep the three cubs away from the kitchen. His heart was kind and his intention was good, but their killing power was too great, so they were told not to come near the kitchen again.

Yuchuan was handling the "crime scene" here. In the distance, deep in the forest, a young man smiled and greeted him: "Hey, haven't seen you for a few days. Are you guys destroying the house again?"

After Yuchuan settled here with his three cubs, he often took them to explore the surrounding areas and encountered many exotic beasts and plants. The young man who suddenly appeared was Shoumu, who was separated from them by a mountain.

Shoumu has a carefree personality, which is almost the opposite of Yuchuan. He wanders around every day, takes root when he is tired, and transforms into a human form after a rest. Occasionally, when he is in the mood, he will prepare some delicious food for himself. At that time, the little Qilin passed by his rooted prototype and was attracted by the fruits among his branches and leaves at first sight.

The longevity tree was intentionally trying to hold back its aura. Qilin had no idea that it was a transformed alien plant. It thought it was lucky to have come across a delicious fruit tree, so it rubbed its hooves on the ground, trying to rush to the tree in one breath to pick the fruit. And then... the branches wrapped around its little hooves, and it was hung upside down in the air, swaying, looking like a wind-dried chicken.

The frightened little Qilin tried to resist and finally landed successfully, but after running a few steps, it became a hanging chicken in the wind again - this was not an unintelligent fruit tree at all, but a weird alien plant!

The hung little Qilin was the weakest of the three cubs. After struggling for several times to get free, it opened its little mouth and burst into tears. The cub’s sharp cry was deafening. The longevity tree branch that hung it trembled in fear. When he was trying to let go, the branch that hung the cub broke and caught fire. Two new cubs appeared from nowhere and glared at him fiercely. The cub who fell from mid-air and fell on his butt shrank behind the two new cubs in fear, sobbing and complaining.

Shoumu thought this was quite amusing, so he changed back into human form and summoned more branches to block their escape route. He said sinisterly, "Those flying in the sky and those running on the ground are all here. The cubs have delicate skin and tender meat, so they must taste delicious—"

Before he could finish his harsh words to tease the cub, his entire human form was pressed to the ground. A cold voice rang out from above his head: "I guess you taste pretty good too."

Shoumu: “…”

Damn it, he's an alien plant and he doesn't eat his young, so how could he break down when I teased him?

When he finally struggled out of the pit on the ground, he saw the three cubs that had been ferocious before huddled pitifully in the arms of a young man. Each one looked more aggrieved and pitiful than the other. In contrast, he seemed like a heartbroken pervert who enjoyed hunting cubs.

But he really didn't do anything excessive!

Shoumu felt that his world was about to fall apart.

The young man held the three cubs in his arms and patiently coaxed them over one by one, even discussing with them how he would deal with the problem.

"Half stew and half grill?"

"Why do you eat alien plants when I don't eat the young ones?" Shoumu protested with his eyes wide open, "Even to the point of killing them half and half!"

The young man raised his head and looked at him, and Shoumu felt a chill on his back. In the end, his hundred-year-old fruit was plucked clean as an apology gift to the three cubs.

After a fight, Shoumu successfully turned his enemies into friends by using politeness (shamelessness), and he entered their house, sneaked into their yard, and had a meal with them.

The most delicious vegetables are the apples of Kunlun and the flowers of the longevity tree.

The cubs' tempers came and went quickly, and they were quite easy to appease. The fruits of the longevity tree were delicious, and their apologies were sincere. Although he was beaten by the master because he was full and supported the little unicorn in playing a prank, both parties were wrong, so the rift was soon eliminated, and the three cubs also got to know the second alien plant besides the master.

In the following time, Shoumu would come to visit every now and then. He had a wide circle of friends, so he could always bring some new food for the cubs - such as the green vegetables from Juquze, the earth grass from Jinyuan, the dew from Sanwei Mountain, the spring water from Yaomu, the fruit from the Shatang tree, the sweet oak from Qingniao's residence, the oranges from the river, the sweet grapefruit from Yunmeng... In short, Shoumu's appearance meant that delicious food was coming to their doorstep!

Although this was the second time that Shoumu, who liked to visit, had encountered a house-destroying scene, the cubs, who had become more and more lively due to being accustomed to it, did not feel embarrassed at all. The three smoking coal balls said, "You wipe my scales while I comb your fur." ​​They squatted obediently in the place designated by the master and waited for him to clean up the battlefield later.

Perhaps practice makes perfect, the new kitchen quickly went from being a storage material to a real thing, and the leveled ground was planted with green grass, which quickly covered up all previous traces.

"This time you cleaned up much faster than last time." Shoumu commented from the side, "You are becoming more and more skilled, Yuchuan."

Yuchuan gave him a helpless smile.

Shoumu was no stranger to the cubs after getting to know them. Seeing that Yuchuan had already cleaned up the kitchen, he held a Qilin in his left hand, a Bai Ze in his right hand, and a phoenix on his head. "Let's go, take them to the river to wash them?"

Although cleaning can be done with some magic, these three little ones were raised by Yuchuan and are very delicate. Normally, they can be cleaned directly with magic, but if they are really dirty, they have to take a bath.

"Today I can only ask you to take them to the river to wash." Yuchuan thought of the wounded cub in his yard and lowered his voice, "I picked up a new wounded cub from the swamp today and I can't leave."

Shoumu: “…”

"You're just a plant, why are you so keen on raising cubs?" The expression on his face was a bit hard to describe. "If you really like them, I'll go and kidnap, or dig up two immature plants for you?"

This time it was Yuchuan's turn to be speechless.

"Three is already a lot." He looked at the three briquettes in Shoumu's arms and said sincerely, "Can you hope I can order something good?"

Shoumu: “…”

Shoumu took the three coal balls to the river to take a bath, and Yuchuan returned to his yard. In the corner of the bed, he saw the cub curled up with a pair of vigilant blue eyes and a slightly fierce expression on his face.

He had just finished cleaning the cub in the yard when he smelled something burning. As he stepped out of the yard, he saw billowing black smoke. He was busy dealing with the aftermath and had no time to clean the wound of the little cub on the bed.

When Yuchuan held the little cub in his arms, he could feel it trembling, but the trembling was subtle, and carried a kind of irresistible despair.

"Don't be afraid." He sighed, gathered his energy in his fingertips, and brushed over the wounds, some deep and some shallow, "Heal the wounds and have a meal, and I'll let you go."

The little cub's body was still trembling slightly, and it was unclear whether he didn't understand or didn't believe it.

When Shoumu returned to the courtyard with the three newborn cubs, the night sky was already dotted with stars. Before he even entered the house, he could hear Shoumu wailing, "We are starving to death—Yuchuan—"

The three new cubs also howled: "Sir! I'm so hungry - Sir -"

Four different tones mixed together, creating a chaotic noise.

Yuchuan, who was putting a plate on the table under the ivy vines, sighed. He lifted the cub in his arms with one hand and used the other hand to take the floating plate. He sighed, "I know, come and eat!"

"Here it comes!"

"Come on!"

"Okay!"

The three cubs kicked the longevity tree and skillfully jumped towards their usual sitting positions. The longevity tree was lifted up by three great forces and stepped back several steps. The three cubs sitting on the chairs had already started to make faces at him.

Shoumu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

The atmosphere before the meal was lively, but the meal became weirder and weirder. The little phoenix pecked hard, and as it ate a solid grain into its mouth, it pecked a crack on the plate.

It's nothing, it's just that this new cub that Mr. picked up is too awesome! It has five paws, even if the first few are injured, there are still two that can be used, right? Why does Mr. need to feed it?

How can you be so shameless when you are such a big beast?

Although Little Bai Ze and Little Qilin didn't know what Little Phoenix was thinking, they both became more and more dissatisfied with the new cub in Mr. Yu's arms.

The three cubs looked at each other, and the tacit understanding they had developed from their usual fights united them for the first time - this new cub must not be raised by the first one!

Shoumu watched their quarrel with a smile on his face, and the words "I want to watch the show" were almost written in his eyes. He whispered to Yuchuan: "Are you preparing to raise a fourth cub?"

When he received the message, Yuchuan was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked down at the little beast in his arms, whose wound had almost healed.

He already had three cubs, so one more or one less wouldn't have much of an impact on him. But for some reason, when he saw this cub for the first time, he felt uncomfortable and disliked it, so when the cub was in danger, he didn't rush to rescue it immediately, which led to it being seriously injured.

[I have no affinity with it, and it doesn't like me either.] Yuchuan returned to Shoumu, [Forget it.]

Don't like it?

Shoumu touched his chin. He looked at the cub, who refused to look anyone in the eye at the table, and thought that might not be the case.

However, Yuchuan had already made a decision, so he didn't persuade his friend to raise a new cub. These three were already energetic enough and enough to give Shu a headache.

This matter went around in his mind for a while, but he quickly put it aside. Shoumu ended the telepathy and smoothly started a new topic: "There will be a plant gathering in ten days. Will Yuchuan take the cub to play?"

The three cubs, who were eating with gnashing teeth, looked over at the same time.

Yuchuan was puzzled: "A gathering of grass and trees?"

After a long time of contact, Shoumu also realized that his friend seemed to have no knowledge of many common senses in this world. He asked directly: "Have you heard of Jianmu?"

Yuchuan blinked blankly, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar: "... should it be?"

"I'm really curious whether you have inherited any memories." Shoumu's expression was a little crazy. "Even if you are a new plant born in the world, you don't have such a blank slate of common sense, right?"

"The herb and tree gathering is always held near Jianmu. After each gathering, we will notify you of the time for the next gathering." Shoumu took a deep breath and resignedly began to explain, "As the name suggests, it is a gathering for herb and tree communication. Everyone can exchange materials, communicate information, etc. at the gathering."

Shouki is an active participant in the plant gatherings and has never missed a single one since he was born. Now he has made a new friend who is a bit of a loner but gets along well with him. He also hopes that Tamagawa can get to know some new plants through the gatherings.

As the three cubs listened, they came closer out of curiosity. Shoumu, who hadn't played a prank for a long time, was tempted to do something. He said in a low voice that everyone could hear:

"Then we'll leave all three of them at home and not take any of them with us!"
