Chapter 9: Accidentally Accepted Him

  Xiong Xiaotu is quite stupid, but after being hit on the head by my gemstone, he seems to have become intelligent instantly.

  Xiong Xiaotu went to find a lot of large pieces of firewood and tree vines, spent some effort, and packed two or three boxes of gems. Moreover, with his incredible strength, he could easily drag the wooden box and walk, looking at him still walking briskly, I couldn't help but think that I had really found a good helper.

  My idea is to go to a town, sell these gems for some money, and use it as travel expenses. It would be best if I could take a hot bath, change into some good clothes, and exchange them for better equipment.

  And I also want to see what kind of towns this so-called other world has. Because, apart from Beastman Xiao Tu and that Saiguan Chen who can ride the clouds, I haven't seen anyone else.

  Now that I think about it, that so-called task manual and the plan to collect handsome men is starting to give me a headache. Right, I still have tasks to complete, I need to go to crowded places and collect handsome men properly. That annoying Sai Kanchen didn't even clearly specify what kind of handsome men to collect, so as long as they can help me, might as well just collect them all.

  If I receive ten a day, then the task can be completed in eleven days. My idea is really perfect, but I don't know if it's as easy to implement as I imagine.

  "What are you thinking about? Why did your eyes suddenly shine so much?" Xiong Xiaotu found the excited light in my eyes and asked me with a puzzled face.

  Handsome guy? I've got the first handsome guy right here. Then, my eyes met Xiong Xiaotu's innocent and handsome face, if we're talking about handsome guys, isn't there one right next to me? Why not take Xiong Xiaotu in and immediately lighten my workload a bit?

  I suddenly stopped in my tracks and smiled slyly at him, saying: "Xiao Tuo, let's make a deal, shall we?"

  After all, Xiong Xiaotu has helped me a lot. If I don't explain anything and just take him away casually, I will feel very guilty.

  "What's there to discuss?" Xiong Xiaotu stopped in his tracks, not a hint of fatigue on his face. His muscles, illuminated by the sunlight, looked exceptionally robust and handsome.

  In order to make Xiong Xiaotu willing to be caught by me, I prepared to communicate with him properly, so I moistened my throat and said softly: "You also know that I am not from the same world as you."

  "What's next?" Xiong Xiaotu blinked and asked directly, his eyes still clear.

  He's really simple, too lazy to guess, directly asking me what's next? So, I continued to look at him seriously, with a sorrowful light in my eyes, and slowly said: "I want to go back, but..."

  "But what is it?" Xiong Xiaotu was indeed a patient audience, even his speech was so cooperative, neither interrupting my topic nor making me feel that no one was listening to what I said.

  Then, there was a very annoying person who told me something. If I wanted to go back, I had to collect 108 handsome men. I decided to tell Xiong Xiaotu the truth. Where did this trust come from? I don't know either. Maybe it's because he wasn't smart enough, so I felt no need to guard against him.

  "What is a pit father? His name is called pit father?" Xiong Xiaotuo raised an eyebrow, asking me with a puzzled expression.

  Ugh... failed to communicate again, and I have to start playing the role of a teacher once more?! No way, that's going to be so exhausting!

  I shook my head and forced myself to calm down, deliberately skipping over his question and asking him directly: "I know, Xiong Xiaotu, you're a good person, so you should help me, right?"

  "What is it like being human?"

  Looking at Xiong Xiaotuo suddenly becoming a problem youth, I really want to roll my eyes several times for him. Obviously his Chinese is so good, how can he be an idiot? Obviously he's a beastman, how can he speak human language? He actually can speak it, how can he not understand it?

  "Hey, can't you be more professional? You obviously know how to speak, so don't pretend to be stupid!" I slapped a nearby pine tree in protest. If a beastman could learn human language on his own, he must be very smart, but why was he so dumb... Sigh, this is really hard to understand!

  "What is professionalism? What is pretending to be stupid? What's the relationship between professionalism and pretending to be stupid?"

  This time his series of questions really drove me crazy.

  I gave Xiong Xiaotu a fierce stare and asked him coldly: "I only ask you one question, are you helping me or not?"

  "Am I not always helping you?" Xiong Xiaotu suddenly raised his hand and retorted. His hand was grasping a long vine, as if hinting that he had been helping me pull the treasure, and it wasn't like he hadn't done anything at all.

  "Stand up straight for me." I muttered again, then took out a wristband from the bag and shook it.

  All I heard was the sound of "ding" and then there was no reaction at all.

  Ugh... Is this a piece of junk?! My expression instantly turned ugly!

  How did this broken wristband collect handsome men, was there a manual or something? I started holding the wristband again, looking left and right, but in the end, I didn't see or find any mechanism.

  "What the...!" Xiong Xiaotu also reached out to grab the wristband.

  "Ah!" Xiong Xiaotu shouted loudly, and then, incredibly, he was sucked in by that ring!

  I watched a perfectly good beastman disappear in front of me, and then I looked at the three large wooden boxes on the ground again, and my headache started. If I accidentally put Xiong Xiaotu away, how can I get him back? I don't want to carry the boxes alone to exchange for money!

  I reckon I haven't even taken a few steps and my bones have already scattered!

  I flipped through the task manual again, and it turned out that the text for receiving the first handsome man's task was black, but the text inside had actually turned red. Could it be that I really completed the task?

  I tore open my throat and shouted loudly: "Sai Guangchen you annoying ghost, come out quickly and tell me how to release the handsome man!"

  "Is there anyone who asks for you like this?" a cold voice sounded.

  I turned back and indeed saw Sai Gun Cheung wearing a blue Taoist robe standing high above the clouds.

  "How does this thing work?" I asked him, shaking the wristband in my hand.

  "Just one word: release." Sai Guangchen maintained his previous cold expression and said lightly.

  "Let him go." I followed suit and called out, and sure enough, after a short while, Xiong Xiaotu was released.

  "Don't bother me with such trivial matters again, I'm very busy. Go find the Divine Brush quickly, it's in that direction to the west!" Sai Guangchen gave me a cold glance, then pointed towards the west and said coolly.

  What kind of guidance is this? With such a bad temper, I'm just saying. If he doesn't cheat his father, who will?

  What is a pit dad? Is his name called Pit Dad? Thinking of Xiong Xiaotuo's words just now, my mood has brightened up a bit.

  Even if I can't do anything about him on the surface, I can still scold that annoying Sai Crown in secret!
