Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Red soil? Earth beasts are really easy to raise.

Xing suddenly became interested and went to the red soil feed. "Can this stuff really taste good?"

Xia Die reminded, "For the first feeding, just give us a small piece."

"Can I try some?" Xing blinked.

Xia Die paused for a moment, not understanding but respecting.

"Of course. But it tastes very bitter and is not easy to digest."

Xia Die's serious tone immediately dispelled Xing Kuangye's idea. Should he try it or not?

Xing selected a small, dry piece of red clay crystal.

The earth beast lowered its head, observing every move with eager eyes... Quick, feed it to me.

"Buzzing..."

The earth beast let out a slow but joyful cry, clearly anticipating the performance of its new keeper.

Star and Earth Beast exchanged glances, pondering whether to let it get what it wanted so easily, or...

Let Danheng eat the feed.

"...Don't even think about it." Dan Heng refused the moment Xing turned his head.

Xing scratched his head, "I haven't said anything yet."

[Sangbo: Hahaha. Oh dear, my good family, look, you even managed to predict Danheng's moves.]

[Star: So, you really don't want a bite?]

[Danheng: I don't want to.]

[Star: Uncle Yang…]

[Walter: Ahem, at my age, I'm afraid I'm too old to enjoy this.]

[That Summer: Competing with the Earth Beast for food, your thought process is even more unpredictable than Bai E's.]

[Bai Er: Is this the mindset a hero should have?]

[Aglaia: There's no need for that, Bai'er. You're perfectly fine as you are.]

Damn it, when did he learn mind reading?

The star seemed to have made a decision, staring intently at the red clod of earth in its hand, then looked up to confirm the earth beast's gaze.

Earth Beast: "...Buzz?"

Xing saw doubt... hesitation... and even a hint of hidden provocation in its eyes.

The big guy looked down at us, as if to say: Do you have the guts, little guy?

Xing frowned. From childhood to adulthood... although it hasn't been that long... she had never been looked down upon by an animal.

You've successfully angered me, man.

Now, I'm afraid there's only one way to preserve my dignity...

Isn't this a form of pioneering?

Xing hardened her heart and bit off a corner of the red cube.

"Hiss..." Dan Heng couldn't believe it; this guy was serious.

"Ah..." Xia Die was at a loss. She had never seen anyone compete with the Earth Beast for food before. What should she do...?

Xing held her forehead; this bitter taste was unlike any strong medicine, striking directly at the softest part of her heart. It made Xing begin to question the meaning of exploration.

Xia Die did not lie.

Xing subconsciously chewed a couple of times, and to her surprise, it wasn't hard. But that might not be a good thing... The sticky red clay fragments were all stuck to her teeth, and no matter how hard she tried to scrape them off with her tongue, she couldn't get them clean.

Dan Heng sighed helplessly, "...Have a drink of water."

Xing quickly grabbed a water glass, held the water in her mouth, and tried her best to wash away the remaining clay in her mouth, but the bitterness was difficult to rinse away easily…

"Buzzing..."

The earth beast let out a mocking cry.

It's mocking me! Xing pouted. Ugh, I still have to feed him…

[Ring: Sister, you're a genius! You actually dared to steal food from it!]

[Paimon: What does it taste like? I'm really curious to try it. Is it really that bad?]

[Xia Die: Please don't try this, everyone...]

[Bai E: Xing, I admire you. Even Wan Di wouldn't dare to attempt this lightly.]

[Wan Di: What did you say...savior? Let's have a contest and see who can eat more red clay.]

[Bai E: No, I don't want to knowingly choose suffering. Let's go to the bath instead.]

[Wan Di: I'm fine with anything.]

[Himeko: Hoshi... how about trying my coffee?]

[Star: Sister Himeko, please spare me, Uncle Yang needs me.]

"Ding! Little A is here again. Friends, I heard your wishes, here comes the Earth Beast's special red clay."

"A beam of white light appeared before each person's eyes, and a pure red clay biscuit floated in the air. A simple star drawn on it gave a thumbs up, as if to say: Try it now, it's exclusively certified by Star Baby."

"Ohmma, Xing looked at the red soil in front of him, his lips twitched twice, and he sneered, 'I don't believe it.'"

"Crunch! So crunchy, just the right taste."

“Ugh~” Xing picked up a bottle of clean water and rinsed her mouth. She swallowed it.

"This kid really doesn't miss any opportunity," Walter said helplessly, looking at the red clay biscuit in his hand. It seemed to have an irresistible allure, making him want to try it. "Well... should I give it a try?"

"Zero zone, non-defensive area, observe at your leisure. Ling and Zhe are having dinner with their senior brothers and sisters."

"Ju Fufu's food-eating posture was blurry, and it was all meat. Ling smiled mischievously, 'Senior Sister...'"

"Haha..." Zhe understood what his sister meant and couldn't help but laugh.

"In the blink of an eye, Ling stuffed the red clay biscuit in her hand into her brother's mouth."

"You..." Zhe's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

Ling picked up the juice from the table. "Oh, brother, did you choke on your food? Don't worry, your little sister will help you. Quickly drink this to wash it down."

Zhe grabbed her neck, "Waaah... Stop..."

"On a certain life-bearing planet in the universe, Huang Quan walked slowly along the riverbank with a red umbrella in hand."

"This is... a star?" Huang Quan examined the biscuit in her hand. "Is it bitter? I can't remember the taste anymore."

"Crunch! Huang Quan took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. It was bitter."

"Sigh, what I have seems different from theirs." Huang Quan opened the MiYin Mall. "Huang Quan Special Offer, only one point required."

"Thank you." She didn't know who she was saying it to.

"Haha..." Xia Die covered her mouth and laughed. She hadn't been this happy in a long time. She was really different.

"Looks like something unexpected happened. It's okay, there's still plenty of feed... Go get another piece."

In the end, Xing didn't have the idea of ​​having another piece and obediently fed the Earth Beasts clean red soil. They ate it with relish. Was it really that delicious?

The thought resurfaced in my mind.

No, no, no, I don't want to try that again.

The earth beast called out docilely, seemingly quite happy.

Xing raised its hands and vigorously rubbed its neck, and the Earth Beast let out a blissful hum.

"How enviable!" Xia Die's eyes were filled with longing, but then her expression dimmed as she thought of herself.

Xing patted the Earth Beast casually and said, "It will like you too."

"Me?" Xia Die's smile was somewhat forced. "I don't need to, it's alright..."

[Earth Beast: Buzzing...]

[That Summer: I'll translate for you. It says: Are you going to kill me, friend?]

[Star: Ah... Earth Beast, don't be afraid. Be my mount, and I won't let Xia Die touch you.]

[Earth Beast: Buzz!]

[That Moment Xia: Cough cough, you dog!]

[Xia Die: Haha, Xing, stop joking about the Earth Beast. The teacher's going to get angry.]

"Miss Xia Die, is there something you're worried about? We're new here and hope to use our actions to get closer to everyone."

At this time, Dan Heng was unaware of Xia Die's special nature, and he could also try to get some information out of her.

"You two have misunderstood," Xia Die quickly explained. "Your help to Ohmma has already shown plenty of goodwill. I just..."

“…I’m just not very good at socializing. Whether it’s with people or with these children.” Xia Die lowered her head, looking dejected.

Please don't take it to heart.

“…Okay.” Even the most obtuse person could tell that Xia Die’s mood was off, so Dan Heng naturally changed the subject.

"Xing, let's take a picture of the Earth Beast too. These amazing creatures are rarely seen elsewhere."

"Would you two like to take a picture with this child?" Xia Die asked eagerly. "If so, I might be able to help."

"There's no need to force yourself." Xing thought she wanted to apologize by helping.

Xia Die shook her head. "It's not forced. Taking photos is just something I enjoy."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately agreed.

Xia Die gestured, "Please put the photo stone on the ground."

"Can't I just give it to you directly?" Xing asked, puzzled. It was just a simple matter.

"...Let's do as she says for now." Danheng roughly guessed that Xiadie had a health problem.

Xing gently placed the camera from March 7th on the ground, and Xia Die bent down to pick it up…

Xia Die's eyes were noticeably brighter, clearly indicating that she genuinely enjoyed photography.

"It's a beautiful color, it feels...very cute."

"Aperture, ISO, and preset filters... Although they look different, their actual structure is the same. No problem."

Xia Die raised her camera. "Please take your positions, you two."

"That's good. I hope you both like it." Xia Die smiled slightly and bent down to place the camera on the ground.

Xing quickly picked it up, cut out the photo, and looked completely bewildered.

Dan Heng was taken aback. "Is there a reason for using a black and white filter?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, it's just a personal preference. I like black and white photos." Xia Die's cheeks flushed. "If you two mind, I'll take another one."

"No need. This is fine." Dan Heng didn't mind. If March 7th were here, he would definitely have taken a few more pictures.

"I'm glad I could help," Xia Die said, then took her leave.

Xing watched Xia Die's departing figure and wondered, "The script even included a stand-in for the cinematographer?"

"...That sounds like something out of a Star Core Hunter's dialogue." Dan Heng didn't even turn his head.

"That Miss Xia Die, should I say she's taciturn? No, not quite, she's just a bit hard to figure out."

"The same thing happened when I met her before; she seemed very reluctant to have physical contact with people..."

"These Golden Descendants all have very different personalities. Among them, Bai E is probably the most normal one."

Xing thought of that cheerful young man; he seemed perfectly normal and had no ill intentions.
