There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

"Hmm...Is that so? Okay then~" Chen Ming said regretfully.

He was excited to see his good friend Bai Jie here, but he wouldn't force her to stay.

Since they said they were leaving soon, they must have something to do. Forcing them to stay will only annoy them.

As Bai Jie's close friend, he knew her personality well.

"If you've finished eating, then you can go now~ I'll pay for your meal," Chen Ming said with a smile and a wave.

"Huh? You're paying? Okay, boss~ two more bowls of wontons to go~" Bai Jie called out again.

Chen Ming's lips twitched slightly.

Good grief, now that you know I'm paying, you're not going to be polite, are you?

Seeing Chen Ming's expression, Bai Jie chuckled and said, "I just came out to buy breakfast, so you don't need to pay."

Chen Ming waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, just a little money."

Bai Jie picked up two bags of wontons and paid with her mobile phone.

Bai Jie had run out of phone credit, but she still had some savings for backup. She had already spent the money at the Lu Ren store, so she still had some spare cash.

"I'm leaving now, you can eat slowly." Bai Jie waved to Chen Ming.

He then walked out of the store.

So, where did Xiao Zang go?

Bai Jie sensed her surroundings and thought, "Hmm... Xiao Zang's aura seems to be around here."

Bai Jie started walking in that direction.

This looks like a street that sells miscellaneous items.

What is that kid Xiao Zang doing here?

Sensing the approaching presence, Bai Jie saw Xiao Zang crouching in front of... a stall selling stray dogs?

Was that a straw dog?

Bai Jie went closer to take a look and found that it was indeed true.

"You've been looking at it for so long, are you going to buy it or not?" Chugou asked, seeing that Baizang had been looking at his stall for so long.

He wasn't buying anything, and he wouldn't leave, which made him a little angry.

"I..." Bai Zang looked at the straw hat on the stall, wanting to buy one for his mother...

I'm a little tempted.

"I'll take that straw hat, how much?" Bai Jie asked with a smile as she approached the stall.

Seeing that there was business to be had, the straw dog stopped bothering Bai Zang.

"Thirty yuan apiece, no bargaining," said Chu Gou, not in a good mood.

While he was somewhat pleased by Bai Jie's visit, he felt more hatred towards humanity.

The straw dog is a contradictory individual, deeply resenting humans while simultaneously yearning for their love.

Bai Jie scanned the payment code, then picked up the straw hat and gave it to Bai Zang.

It's just like a mother buying her child his favorite toy.

Bai Zang glanced at Bai Jie, then lowered his head in shame.

He deliberately called Bai Jie "mother" in front of others, and then slipped away.

Later, while wandering around aimlessly, I came across a stall selling straw dogs.

Actually, what initially attracted him was the straw dog, a dog made entirely of straw.

Then the dog said: "Just take a look."

Bai Zang's attention was drawn to the stall, which displayed straw-woven shoes, hats, clothes, and the like.

For modern people, these kinds of things are just for retro style and fun; most people wouldn't actually be willing to buy them.

But he was drawn to the straw hat and wanted to buy it, but... he didn't have any money on him!

I should have asked my mom to buy me a phone sooner...

He had no choice but to stand there in front of the stall, and then the rest of the story happened.

"Why are you still unhappy?" Bai Jie asked Bai Zang gently.

"Hmm... Mother~ Could you buy me a mobile phone next time?" Bai Zang said after a moment of silence.

"..." Bai Jie was speechless. You brat, give me back my gentleness!

"Fine, fine, fine," Bai Jie said speechlessly.

That kid is such a rascal; he's always putting on an act.

"Hehehe~ Mother is so good~" Bai Zang said, hugging Bai Jie and rubbing against her.

Bai Jie was speechless. This wasn't inside the Rainbow Cloud Mountains... this was the main street!

Fortunately, Bai Zang and Bai Jie look like brothers, so this kind of close interaction is still somewhat understandable.

“Mother, actually I wanted to buy this for you~” Baizang said playfully with a wink.

"For me?" Bai Jie asked, puzzled.

Bai Zang nodded happily and said, "Yes! Look how well it's made, and how beautiful it is. It'll definitely suit Mother to wear!"

The straw dog overheard this strange human conversation.

Hmm? They actually complimented the straw hat I made? You have good taste!

Then, he snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because you praise me, I'll forgive you humans!" he thought to himself.

But in my heart I was thinking: Say more, say more, praise me more!

"What's so good about this straw hat?" Bai Jie didn't quite understand.

Forgive him for not understanding about straw hats. He wasn't criticizing the craftsmanship of the straw dog, but he knew... this thing can catch fire, right?

The straw dog, whose lips had been unconsciously curving upwards, immediately fell silent after hearing Bai Jie's words.

"Get out, you ignorant humans! Buy it and leave me here!" The straw dog's tone was filled with intense disgust.

I knew none of these humans were good!

Some hearts that had been healed were suddenly shattered.

Bai Jie was a little embarrassed. Good grief, she had said the wrong thing.

Bai Zang tugged at Bai Jie's sleeve, "Mother, I think it's perfect~ Take it~ It'll definitely look good~"

"Alright, let's go back. I bought two more portions for Tianlu and the others." Bai Jie smiled and ruffled Bai Zang's hair.

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Zang took Bai Jie's hand and left together.

As he left, he turned back to wave to the straw dog, smiling as he said goodbye.

The straw dog felt a warmth in its heart.

Hmph! As expected, there are still good humans out there. That clueless human from just now was definitely an exception.

Then he started a business selling grass products, but... business wasn't very good.

After a long time.

Bai Jie and Bai Zang arrived at the foot of the Caiyun Mountains, where they both transformed back into their original forms.

When Bai Jie realized that there was no one else around, she put the wontons into her storage space.

This makes walking easier, so that even after transforming into beast form, you don't have to carry two bags of wontons in your mouth.

"Mom, when are you going to buy me a phone?" Bai Zang asked from the side, seeing that Bai Jie didn't seem to be planning to go to the phone store.

Bai Jie covered her face and said helplessly, "I'll ask Rabbit Lord to buy you a mythical beast exclusive model later."

Bai Zang blinked, "Howl~"

As they walked through the mountains, they could hear Baizang's excited shouts every now and then.

I guess they've found something fun or interesting again.

There are still some interesting things on the Caiyun Mountains that can keep kids like Baizang occupied for a while.

Bai Jie looked at Bai Zang playing not far away and said, "Hmph~ You still say you're not a child!"

Bai Jie looked at Xiao Zang and smiled.

Then the smile faded.

But hey, Zang, weren't you really naughty before?

...
