Chapter 1807: Chapter 24: The Snake with a Story (Part 3)
"When I was about to kill it, it spoke to me! I originally only knew it was Blood Demon Grass, I didn’t know it could also help me find my mother..." Little Tengshe thought for a moment and said.
Mo Jiuli was a bit speechless upon hearing this. This little guy actually believed the words of a fox, thinking that the Blood Demon Grass could help it find its mom. She didn’t know whether to call it naive or the fox that was nearly killed by it cunning!
The Fox Clan is inherently very cunning, and here it encountered such a simple little creature, being threatened by it. If what that fox said was true, it would be strange! Little Tengshe looked at Mo Jiuli with a somewhat unhappy expression and said: "You’re also thinking that I was deceived by that fox, right? Actually, I know that Blood Demon Grass is Boundary Grass of the Demon World, there’s no way it can help me find my mother..."
"If you already know, why do you still believe it?" Mo Jiuli asked Little Tengshe upon hearing this.
"Even though I know it’s fake, listening to it sounds like a hope, doesn’t it? Anyway, I don’t know where my mother is, nor do I know where to look, let alone how to get there..." Little Tengshe said with some disappointment.
"Why don’t you come with me from now on!" Mo Jiuli said to Little Tengshe.
"You want to make a contract with me?" Upon hearing this, Little Tengshe immediately looked at Mo Jiuli warily and asked.
"No need for a contract, I won’t force you to make a contract with me. Anyway, I have many places to go; don’t you also not know where to go? If you want, you can temporarily stick with me, and when you feel like leaving, you can leave at any time! Besides, you want to find your mother; how can you find her by staying here all the time?" Mo Jiuli said to Little Tengshe.
"Are you serious? You really won’t make a contract with me? Are you afraid I might harm you?" Little Tengshe heard this and looked at Mo Jiuli with a strange expression, thinking that the Human Clan never trusts the Beast Clan without a contract. Is this woman a fool? Isn’t she afraid of me betraying or making use of her to kill her?
"You won’t, I trust you..." Mo Jiuli smiled and said. Actually, she wasn’t trusting the Little Tengshe in front of her; rather, she trusted Zi Ye.
Zi Ye wanted her to keep this Little Tengshe by her side, with or without a contract, it didn’t matter. Given that, she thinks it’s actually pretty good not to have a contract. She really doesn’t like bearing too much responsibility...
Moreover, from the beginning, she felt that having a Contract Beast, Zi Ye was enough...
Little Tengshe looked into Mo Jiuli’s eyes and found that her gaze was clear and sincere without any deceit. For some reason, when Mo Jiuli said "I want to trust you," it touched it deeply. Mo Jiuli was the first human it met after waking up, the first to make barbecue taste so good, and the first human to say things like this to it. Maybe following her, it could really find its mom. Even if it didn’t, being with her seemed like a good idea...
"Alright, I agree with you!" Little Tengshe said.
"Good!" Mo Jiuli nodded and said.
Mo Jiuli did not bring Little Tengshe back into the space because the space was her secret, only open to her own people. Although Little Tengshe was trusted because of Zi Ye, it didn’t mean she would treat Little Tengshe as the same existence as Little Book and the others...
"Do you have a name?" Mo Jiuli asked Little Tengshe.
"No." Little Tengshe said.
"How about I give you one?" Mo Jiuli asked Little Tengshe.
