Chapter 148: Special Meaning

Huanhuan didn’t know how to answer. She could only say dryly, “Perhaps. I’ve never eaten bamboo either…”

Other than giant pandas, who in this world would like to eat bamboo?!

Wait a minute, Bai Di had just said that Ni Mei was the female of the bamboo bear family… Bamboo bear was just another name for pandas!

Huanhuan was shocked.

Damn, pandas were national treasures!

She was actually lucky enough to be so close to a national treasure in her life?!

Ni Mei realized that the female’s eyes had suddenly lit up. They were as hot as flames as she stared at her. She couldn’t help but feel strange. “Why are you staring at me?”

A national treasure! She really wanted to touch it!

Unable to resist, Huanhuan reached out with her hands and gently touched Ni Mei’s arm. She smiled foolishly. “Because you’re cute.”

If this was in modern society, Ni Mei would have shouted that there was a perverted lady here!

However, this was the world of beasts. Although Ni Mei felt that the other party’s expression was a little strange, it was not strange enough to make her afraid.

In any case, they were both females. It wouldn’t hurt to let Huanhuan touch her.

Ni Mei’s mind was filled with delicious bamboo shoots. “How many bamboo shoots did you bring? I want to buy them all. The price is negotiable.”

Huanhuan giggled. “You can buy as many bamboo shoots as you want, but there’s a prerequisite.”

“Tell me.”

“Can you transform into your beast form and let me touch you?”

Ni Mei felt that this little female was really strange!

However, for the sake of delicious bamboo shoots, Ni Mei decided to agree to the other party’s conditions and revealed her beast form.

She was bigger than the pandas Huanhuan had seen on TV before. She was round and covered in soft fur. Most of her body was snow-white, but her limbs and neck were black. She also had the two iconic black panda eyes.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but hug her arm and rub against it. Her face was filled with happiness. “You’re really cute! If I were a male beast, I’d definitely marry you!”

Bai Di’s and Bai Luo’s expressions turned subtle.

Bai Luo couldn’t help but ask Second Brother in a low voice, “Can females like females too?”

Bai Di had mixed feelings. “I don’t know.”

Ni Mei asked eagerly, “Can you sell me the bamboo shoots now?”

Huanhuan reluctantly let go of her. “Alright, how many bamboo shoots do you want to buy?”

“I’ll buy as many as you have. And those sweet and crispy fruits. I want to buy them too!”

At the mention of food, Ni Mei’s eyes lit up.

Huanhuan took the opportunity to touch her big furry claws again. “I have a lot of those things, but we didn’t bring them out this time and left them with a friend. I’ll go to my friend to get the goods and trade them with you. How about that?”

“Then you have to be fast! Once you get the goods, come and inform me. I’ll be waiting at home for your good news!”

Huanhuan patted her paw. “Don’t worry, I will.”

After parting with Ni Mei, Huanhuan followed Bai Di and Bai Luo back to the palace.

Bai Di took Huanhuan’s hand. She had just touched the legendary national treasure and was excited. She skipped when she walked.

Bai Di smiled at her. “Happy?”

“Yes, I just touched a panda. A real panda!”

Bai Luo was very disapproving of this. “What panda? Isn’t she just a bamboo bear? Bamboo bears are big, fat, and clumsy like big furballs. Moreover, they’re especially lazy. They only eat and sleep every day. They don’t have any desires!”

Huanhuan said angrily, “You don’t even like national treasures! You deserve to be single for the rest of your life!”

“National treasure?” Bai Luo thought of the stupid look on the bamboo bear’s face and couldn’t help but laugh. “How could you call them national treasures? You’re too naive!”

“You don’t understand how cute pandas are!”

When Huanhuan watched TV in the past, she was often smitten by the cute giant pandas shown on TV.

In her eyes, the cutest animal in the world was a panda!

Seeing that she liked bamboo bears so much, Bai Luo tactfully stopped arguing with her. At the same time, he secretly made a mental note.

The little female liked bamboo bears.

It was a good place to start.

After returning home, Huanhuan and Bai Di put all the things they had bought during the day into their interspatial rings.

Huanhuan asked, “Ni Mei wants to buy bamboo shoots, but we only brought over two small bags this time. If we suddenly take out many bamboo shoots, we’ll definitely be suspected.”

Especially the high priest. He was knowledgeable and experienced. He could easily sense the existence of an interspatial ring.

Bai Di thought for a moment. “Go get Xue Ling to help.”

“Oh?”

Bai Di explained in detail, “We can say that Xue Ling has a magical artifact that can store many things. That way, others won’t suspect us.”

Huanhuan frowned. “Won’t this cause trouble for Xue Ling?”

“He’s powerful enough that even the high priest might not dare to provoke him. Moreover, he usually appears and disappears very soon after. Even if someone wants to cause trouble for him, they won’t be able to find him.”

Huanhuan felt that this was a good idea.

At night, Bai Di took Huanhuan to the top of the divine mountain again and played the flute.

The flute sounded crisp, like a bird’s chirps. No one who didn’t know better could tell.

Before long, a fiery figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Huanhuan.

Xue Ling touched the lotus on Huanhuan’s head before gently brushing his finger across her cheek. His smile was frivolous. “Little female, you’ve finally called for me.”

Huanhuan wiped the spot he had touched with undisguised disdain. “Speak properly. Don’t keep touching me!”

She paused and explained why she had called him over.

Xue Ling smiled slyly. “I can help if you want, but I have to be paid.”

Huanhuan knew this would be his response. Without surprise, she asked, “What do you want?”

Xue Ling glanced at the ring on her finger. “Do you have another ring like this? Give me one.”

Huanhuan immediately took a step back and looked at him guardedly. “I can’t give that to you.”

The space contained all her belongings. Other than her, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye, she could not give these rings to anyone else!

Seeing her reaction, Xue Ling did not change his mind. Instead, he became even more interested.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in the secrets inside the ring. I’m just curious and want to play with it. Maybe I’ll give it back to you one day when I’m tired of it.”

Huanhuan still shook her head. “No, these rings have a special meaning. I can’t give them away to just anyone.”

“What special meaning?”

“They’re contractual rings. Wearing one is equivalent to forming a contract with us. In the future, you can’t take it off unless you’re dead.”

Huanhuan thought that Xue Ling would change his mind after she said this.

Unexpectedly, his interest grew.
