The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　Is that possible?

　Chen Lingxu looked at the half-revealed deer bodhisattva in front of him, and his appetite increased.

　Sometimes, complete disarmament is not necessary to create deterrence.

　That kind of ambiguous, unclear feeling is what makes it so attractive.

　Chapter Fifty-Seven: Little White Dragon Has Experience

　"Is it still not okay?"

　How long has it been?

　The night wind was indeed a bit chilly, and Nine-Colored Deer wanted to pull her clothes tighter and go to sleep immediately. But the man in front of her... he'd been cramming for way too long.

　"Ugh."

　But there was no verbal response, only a long sigh.

　Is there anything else you need?

　The nine-colored deer slightly opened its eyes, then immediately closed them again.

　But even that one chance glance was enough to make her eyes never regain their former innocence.

　It is truly an iron pillar that stabilizes the sea and the universe, a golden beam that spans the sea.

　"The beauty is beautiful, but I can only admire her from afar. Food is tasteless, truly tasteless."

　Even in this state, is she still finding food tasteless?

　Is it that she's not charming enough... or is the other person too greedy?

　The Nine-Colored Deer pondered. Perhaps it was a combination of both.

　If... if it weren't her here now, but a friend...

　If Little Dragon Girl had struck the same pose as her, the outcome might have been completely different.

　Although somewhat unwilling, Nine-Colored Deer had to admit that her own charm was truly limited.

　"Then, Ah Xu, what else do you want? Let's make it clear first, it can't be too much."

　He backed down. It seemed like a helpless step, but Chen Lingxu knew that if he gave in one step, he would have to give in every step. However, today was just a small test, and he should not push too far. Knowing when to stop was the best policy.

　"Um……"

　The Nine-Colored Deer squeezed its hands.

　Maybe, maybe this is what I want.

　After all, he had just complimented her hands. And the only option that would make him feel relaxed without being too demanding was…

　"I want to eat Lulu's milk cake."

　"Ok?"

　Milk cake refers to...

　"Yes, I need to wash it..."

　"LuLu is very clean. By the way, you should take both pieces."

　“Ah Xu…you…”

　It's really too much.

　He grabbed the fawn by the hoof and bit it, then kicked it with the other hoof.

　The man then let out a muffled groan, perhaps because he had gone too far, so the Nine-Colored Deer kicked him a little harder to teach him a lesson.

　"Lulu... a little kindness..."

　Be gentler?

　She just wouldn't... This scoundrel, this lecher, tried to get close to her with various excuses, but her repeated tolerance only resulted in more outrageous behavior.

　Now, she won't easily soften her heart.

　I'll stomp you to death! ...

　Chen Lingxu grimaced as he endured the trampling, seemingly in great pain.

　"LuLu...really..."

　"

　Hmph, it's too late to admit your mistake now. Even the Buddha has a fierce side, and the Nine-Colored Deer can get angry too.

　"what……"

　Finally, with the Qilin's mournful gasps, the Nine-Colored Deer opened its eyes and looked at its legs and feet, which were covered in blood and bones.

　“A-Xu…”

　She was truly speechless.

　The Qilin's tail had stolen her shoes sometime ago, and now... oh dear.

　What should she wear tomorrow?

　"Sorry, Lulu. I need to find something to stop you, otherwise I'll get you all over."

　Chen Lingxu's explanation clearly did not appease her, but Nine-Colored Deer still wanted to take the shoes to clean them.

　Unexpectedly, the little Qilin who had just been bullied by her still harbored resentment and intended to take revenge on Deer Bodhisattva. Forgetting her earnest teachings, it attacked her when she was off guard.

　"Oh... Ah Xu... How come there are still some?"

　The nine-colored deer closed one eye, its face streaked with tears.

　"Sorry, Lulu... there's nothing I can do about this. Let me wipe it for you."

　"No, no need. I can do it myself."

　The nine-colored deer quickly hid far away, fearing he would shoot another arrow.

　"Ok."

　Seeing his regretful expression, Nine-Colored Deer decided she would definitely give him a good talking-to later.

　"Ugh...this...taste."

　The nine-colored deer drew a wisp of thick blood from the tip of its pen and instinctively sniffed it.

　There was no metallic smell from ordinary blood; instead, it had a feeling of... vibrant life and everything thriving.

　I've never seen a nine-colored deer, but it's described in books. Normally, blood is sticky and viscous, but the thick blood of a qilin doesn't match those descriptions at all.

　"Hmm, it's like... millet porridge with too little water."

　It has an indescribable fragrance.

　"LuLu? What are you doing? It's cold outside."

　"Ah...no, nothing. I need to clean up a bit more."

　"Then let me help you?"

　"No need. You, you pack your things and go get some rest."

　The Nine-Colored Deer turned around nervously. The Qilin seemed to be just talking and didn't really intend to come out. She breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the shoes in front of her.

　No, no, what are you thinking?!

　The nine-colored deer looked around and poured the blood from its shoe into the weeds next to the vehicle.

　"It's not sticky at all, that's strange."

　The nine-colored deer looked at the clean shoes and felt even more amazed.

　"Um……"

　She wiped the marks on her legs and feet clean with a handkerchief, intending to wash them in town the next day.

　"LuLu?"

　Back in the carriage, Qilin was lying there, blinking at her with a pitiful look.

　"Sigh... Go to sleep, Ah Xu."

　Nine-Colored Deer raised her hand high, but in the end she only rubbed his head. Then she shrank back and hid on the other side, not giving him a chance to hug her.

　"uh-huh."

　Chen Lingxu didn't care; the progress was encouraging, and he wasn't in a hurry.

　The nine-colored deer waited with its eyes closed for a long time, but no Qilin came near.

　She quietly opened her eyes, only to find that the person had already moved to the outside of the car.

　Once you've relaxed, will you just ignore her?

　Really are…

　The nine-colored deer swallowed, the strange taste still lingering on her tongue. Unable to understand it, she drifted off to sleep in a daze.

　"The Nine-Colored Deer. The Nine-Colored Deer?"

　When she opened her eyes, it was already daylight. Her friend was patting her to wake her up, looking like she had discovered something good.

　"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiaoxi?"

　Oh dear, didn't you notice?

　Seeing that she had woken up, Xi took her hand and led her to look outside the car.

　"There's a century-old Ganoderma lucidum here. I didn't see it yesterday, and it almost got crushed."

　Xi knew that her friend liked herbs, so she came to wake her up as soon as she found out in the morning.

　Hmph, now you know who's better, her or that stinky Qilin. He doesn't even understand this; he wouldn't even bother calling the Nine-Colored Deer.

　"what?!"

　The nine-colored deer rubbed its eyes and looked in that direction again.

　A purple Ganoderma lucidum was hiding in the shadow of the vehicle. Judging from its luster and shape, it must be at least two or three hundred years old.

　But... that's impossible.

　Yesterday, she searched the surrounding area under the moonlight, but she couldn't find any lingzhi mushrooms, or even decent dandelions.

　How did a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum suddenly appear overnight...? Wait, overnight?

　The nine-colored deer seemed to have thought of something and quickly went to check its shoes.

　"Your shoes are here."

　Xi used her tail to hook the Nine-Colored Deer's shoe over, and watched her holding the shoe in thought, but Xi was puzzled.

　"A nine-colored deer? Aren't you going to pick it?"

　"Ah... okay, I'll go right away."

　After confirming that no lingzhi or ginseng had grown inside his shoes, the Nine-Colored Deer put them on and prepared to pick the 'Centennial Purple Ganoderma'.

　The Ganoderma lucidum in my hand is genuine.

　The nine-colored deer played with it, its bright silver eyes looking at the large unicorn playing with the beast-carrying boy in green.

　"Humph."

　Xi took in her appearance and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

　Now you know who your best friend is, Nine-Colored Deer.

　Chapter Fifty-Eight: Stepping on the Gas

　The Nine-Colored Deer kept this question to itself.

　However, Xi stayed outside during the day as well, as she couldn't be with Qi in front of her friends.

　Lin asked what exactly this thing was all about.

　If we want to know how Chen Lingxu turned weeds into Ganoderma lucidum, it seems we can only ask him when Xi goes to sleep.

　The nine-colored deer played with the lingzhi mushroom, its gaze drifting back and forth across the qilin on the Panyuan Stone.
