TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 39
by VolareChapter 39: Waaah~, You’re a bad person for not letting Youyou eat meat!
Xie YunChuan consciously manipulated his abilities to absorb the energy from the crystal cores, turning them into a puddle of chestnut flour in moments.
He stretched his arms and body, clearly feeling the abundance of energy within him, even more plentiful than before the fight.
Not bad, with a few more crystal cores, he should be able to touch the threshold of advancement.
While Xie YunChuan was fighting, Luo Shuyou was throwing pebbles with the White Tiger Cub, having a great time, not caring about the danger at all.
The White Tiger Cub was the same, as long as Luo Shuyou was okay, it wouldn’t actively attack the zombies. The two little guys perfectly exemplified the attitude of “it’s none of my business.”
Xie YunChuan walked closer, amused, and looked at them, “Is Youyou having fun?” Luckily, he had the White Tiger Cub to accompany him and attract his attention. Usually, as long as the White Tiger Cub didn’t run around, Luo Shuyou wouldn’t either.
Luo Shuyou threw down the pebbles and ran into Xie YunChuan’s arms, whining and fussing. After absorbing the crystal cores, Luo Shuyou was full of energy, but that stuff couldn’t be eaten as food, he still got hungry when he was supposed to.
The moment he made a fuss, Xie YunChuan wondered if he was hungry and reached into his bag for a can of food. Gone.
He didn’t have many to begin with, and he didn’t restrain Luo Shuyou. Every time he made a fuss, he would coax him with food, regardless of whether he was actually hungry. Luo Shuyou always ate the cans with Xie YunChuan’s blood with gusto, leaving nothing behind, so they were all gone.
Actually, Luo Shuyou wasn’t always hungry when he made a fuss. Sometimes he was just bored, and sometimes he just wanted to cuddle with Xie YunChuan, like a little pet asking for a hug.
Xie YunChuan would always coax him with food, and of course he wouldn’t refuse food with human blood in it.
The White Tiger Cub was different. Every time Xie YunChuan opened something, it would come over to beg for a bite, regardless of whether it was good or not.
However, it had never even gotten a sip of broth from Luo Shuyou’s exclusive meat cans.
It was pitiful that Xie YunChuan’s already limited food had to be squeezed out of his teeth to give to the White Tiger Cub. Even though it ate so little, the White Tiger Cub didn’t seem to lose weight. It was still white, chubby, and round, making Luo Shuyou love it so much that he had to rub it every day.
He touched Luo Shuyou’s little tummy, which was flat. He was really hungry. Xie YunChuan gently coaxed, “Baby, be good, just bear with it. Hubby will take you to find something good to eat.”
Xie YunChuan didn’t expect that Luo Shuyou’s rations would be gone. If he had known, he would have gone to find supplies first.
They came to the entrance of a supermarket. It didn’t look big, but it seemed to be the largest supermarket in this small town. Roaming zombies could be seen everywhere inside.
Having zombies was a good thing, meaning that generally no one would risk going inside to loot, so it should still have a lot of supplies.
Xie YunChuan pulled Luo Shuyou straight to the canned food section, silently dealing with any zombies they encountered along the way, without alarming the other roaming zombies.
Sure enough, there were still quite a few scattered and crooked cans on the shelves, of all kinds. Xie YunChuan opened his backpack and quickly swept them into his bag.
He didn’t hold onto Luo Shuyou for even a second, and he began wandering around with the White Tiger Cub, curiously looking here and touching there, strolling leisurely. The low-level zombies didn’t attack him either, it was quite a sight.
Luo Shuyou came to the bag section. In the apocalypse, people were fighting over food, and these useless decorative little bags were covered with a lot of dust, showing that no one had even touched them.
Luo Shuyou was attracted by the various animal-shaped plush backpacks, wanting to touch each one. But after touching them and getting his hands covered in dust, he would disdainfully let go.
“Youyou… come here quickly… Youyou?” Xie YunChuan filled his bag and turned around. Luo Shuyou, who should have been following closely behind him, was nowhere to be seen. He frantically searched, and instead encountered two zombies attracted by the smell, who surrounded him and became entangled in a fight, unable to break free for a moment.
At this time, Luo Shuyou, who was still admiring the cat dolls, didn’t notice that a zombie was quietly approaching him. It lay on the shelf, looking down at its food, waiting for the right moment to pounce. Instantly, it was blasted away by a fireball.
Gu Tangxi and the others saw a zombie pouncing on a human as soon as they entered. Without thinking, Gu Tangxi threw a fireball, knocking the zombie back and heavily onto its side. Strangely, the person who was alarmed did not attack the zombie or run away in a panic.
He just stood there blankly for a few seconds, then turned around and continued playing with the dolls.
Gu Tangxi didn’t have time to be surprised by this child’s way of thinking. The zombie that had been knocked down got up and attacked him again, so she had to deal with this zombie first.
The others who came with her protected Gu Tangyue as they killed the ordinary zombies that were gradually being attracted.
They fought slowly, approaching Luo Shuyou. A strong stench of decay faintly emanated the fragrance of human flesh. Luo Shuyou couldn’t resist being lured, poking his head out, sniffing, and howling as he attacked the man closest to him. Just as he got close enough to smell the meat, Xie YunChuan, who had arrived in time, wrapped him in a vine and pulled him back.
Luo Shuyou, who had been pulled back, hung his head, feeling hopeless. He knew that this bad guy wouldn’t let him eat a bite of fresh meat, and fed him dead meat every day, waah~!
“Hey! Why are you tying him up? Put him down.” Gu Tangyue didn’t know what had happened. Seeing Xie YunChuan carrying Luo Shuyou away like he was picking up a doll, she thought he was some kind of bad guy.
Luo Shuyou was slowly lowered next to Xie YunChuan, as if he were being grabbed by a claw machine. The vines quickly retreated. Xie YunChuan looked Luo Shuyou up and down, “Youbao, are you hurt?”
Luo Shuyou punched his chest, “Waaah~ uh~!” He was hurt. Not letting him eat meat was the greatest injury.
“Youyou, be good, don’t make any noise for a while, okay?” Xie YunChuan didn’t want those people to discover Luo Shuyou’s identity so early. He wanted to get along with them peacefully for a while, to gather some information.
But obviously this was not negotiable. Xie YunChuan took a candy he had grabbed earlier, unwrapped it, and put it in Luo Shuyou’s mouth. He didn’t spit it out, thankfully. “If you eat candy, don’t bite people, okay? Be good.”
Stopping him temporarily was better than nothing, at least it would allow him to talk to those people properly for a few minutes.
The White Tiger Cub jumped up high next to him, indicating that it wanted one too. Xie YunChuan simply unwrapped one and threw it into its mouth. “You be quiet too, if you keep running around with your master, I’ll stew you.”
The White Tiger Cub, who was seriously eating the candy, indicated, “Don’t worry, you can’t stew me.” It was an energy body, ethereal, not within the Five Elements.
Hmm? What is this thing? Smack, smack, sour and sweet, quite fun. It knew that anything this guy gave its little master to eat was a good thing.
Human senses were quite interesting. It was worth it to expend energy to simulate its little master’s synesthesia.
