Chapter 175 Why does everyone want to steal him away?
"I do not have."
Faced with the little fool's elaborate attempts to extort money, Pei Sinian sat up expressionlessly, used his water powers to wash her face, and served the ancestor by brushing her teeth. Throughout the process, she remained listless, looking at Pei Sinian with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert.
Even with Pei Sinian's composure, he couldn't help but ask, "Where does it itch?"
Meng Xiaoyou: "Don't you know where I itch? There are only the two of us in the tent, it must be you."
She was sleeping soundly when she felt something touching her body all over, like caterpillars crawling on her skin. It was very uncomfortable.
“It wasn’t me.” Pei Sinian repeated, his brows furrowing slightly. “Let me see if you have something growing on your body.”
Upon hearing this, the mushroom suddenly became nervous, "Won't it get infested with bugs?"
You know, mushrooms are most afraid of getting infested with insects. Dave sprays the plants with insecticide almost every few days. In return, the plants keep a good mood and will take out gold coins from their little treasury to give back to Dave.
Of course, after arriving in this world, Meng Xiaoyou knew that these were just the program of the game.
This is her first time being human, and she's not sure if humans can have insects.
Oh no, could that thing that bit her yesterday have been a bug?
She sat up abruptly, started pulling at her clothes, and shouted at Pei Sinian, "Quick, help me check if I have bugs!"
A strong, sweet scent wafted over, along with a large expanse of snow-white skin. Mr. Zombie's eyelids twitched. He quickly pinned the person down, deftly fastening the unbuttoned collar, and sternly admonished, "Don't act like this in front of men..."
He didn't know how to describe it, and finally uttered two words from his thin lips: "Stupid, idiotic!"
Although he is not a man, he is a male zombie. In short, men and women are different, and even if they establish a relationship in the future, they cannot act like this.
He's a zombie, what if he infects her?
Meng Xiaoyou was in a hurry, and even after being scolded, she nodded perfunctorily and said, "Quickly help me take a look."
Pei Sinian: "..."
Inhale, exhale, and regain your composure.
"Don't move."
He pushed up the frame of his glasses, his light gray eyes unusually serious.
His slender fingers lifted her sleeve, and he asked, "Has it itched here?"
"itch!"
Her skin was fair and tender; a slight pinch would make it turn red for half a day. Pei Sinian stared at her closely, his eyebrows furrowing.
There were barely perceptible red marks on it, as if something had crawled over it.
Meng Xiaoyou saw it too, and she gasped: "A bug! The one that bit me yesterday must have been a bug!"
How could that be... Pei Sinian often used his water-based supernatural abilities to bathe her, and he never noticed anything unusual.
He pursed his thin lips: "Could it be that your purple mushroom got infested with worms?"
Meng Xiaoyou: "???"
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but how do you explain three times?
"You...do you really dislike purple mushrooms?"
She was still covering her arm with one hand, looking up at her, her dark eyes filled with a complexity that Pei Sinian couldn't understand.
His intuition told him that if he didn't answer this question well, the consequences would be severe.
His long eyelashes drooped behind his glasses, and he pursed his lips. "No, it's just that I feel you care about it a lot."
Meng Xiaoyou's expression was serious: "You can't frame Mushroom, that's going too far!"
Pei Sinian: "Sorry, you just accused me of scratching you, so we're even."
"...It seems so." The mushroom's brain was working frantically, earnestly telling him to stop thinking about bullying the purple mushroom.
"The purple mushroom is already pitiful enough. It's all alone in a strange place, with no familiar plants around and no home. If you keep bullying it, it will be very sad." Meng Xiaoyou lowered her head, muttering to herself, and scratched her wrist, the red marks getting darker and darker.
Pei Sinian grabbed her wrist and didn't ask, "Mushrooms are just plants, they don't have brains, and they're not even food for humans, so why should we consider the thoughts of mushrooms?"
Instead, he activated his water-based abilities again.
The water temperature was adjusted to a comfortable level, and a gentle stream of water slowly touched her face. Once she was comfortable, it slid down her body little by little.
This is the convenience of water-based abilities. Giving the little idiot a bath is not too troublesome, and there is no need to take off her clothes. You can wash her and her clothes together, and then dry her and her clothes. She will be a clean little idiot again.
However, Pei Sinian did not control his water-based empathy and gentlemanly gave her privacy.
This time, Meng Xiaoyou felt something slide down her back and fall onto the heating pad with a splash.
Her eyes widened: "What is this?"
What fell was a small vine, about the length of a human finger, with a sharp rose thorn at the very tip, like a little red hat on it.
It was sticking out its little red hat, swaying from side to side with the current like seaweed.
Knowing it had been discovered, it stopped hiding and shook at Meng Xiaoyou, even letting out a soft "Chirp?" from somewhere.
Meng Xiaoyou: "???"
Pei Sinian: "..."
He had never seen such a novel species before, and at this moment he became even more silent. His light gray eyes were fixed on the little red hat on the vine, accurately sensing the power of the crystal core, which contained a strong killing intent.
The little guy sensed danger, hopped around a couple of times, trying to get back on Meng Xiaoyou to hide, but the next second, it was frozen into an ice sculpture by Pei Sinian.
Pei Sinian picked it up and said to Meng Xiaoyou, "It just so happens that I promised Houhou I would find it a high-level crystal core, and this thing has just the right one."
He could sense that this thing was of the same origin as the mutated plants in the cave, and that the energy of the crystal core was not low; even he had been deceived.
If this thing is also poisonous... Thinking of how he had been tormented all night, and of the wound on Meng Xiaoyou's finger that should have healed by now, the man rubbed his fingertip against the vine, about to crush it and extract the crystal core.
However, the next second, a pair of soft little hands landed on his hands. The force was not strong, but it successfully stopped Pei Sinian from all his actions.
He looked up and asked silently: What's wrong?
Meng Xiaoyou hesitated, pursing her lips, somewhat troubled: "But...it just called me 'Mommy'!"
Pei Sinian: "???"
The usually calm Mr. Zombie almost lost his composure at this moment, his perfect face almost crumbling.
So, he has another child?
Or is it a plant?
Why are you always trying to steal people from him?
Despite his deep confusion, Mr. Zombie loosened his grip slightly, his gaze dimming as he spoke with difficulty: "Isn't this house... a bit too mixed in terms of species?"
Meng Xiaoyou scratched her head, "No!"
Including her, there are two plants, one human, and one little zombie, so it's not really that complicated!
Having finally encountered a "talking" plant, the mushroom didn't want to give up. It rubbed against Pei Sinian's arm hesitantly, staring longingly at the ice cube in his hand.
"Release them quickly, lest the child get cold."
