Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Doctor Xu Was Blacklisted Again

Liang He looked at the puffing Beast Beasts, then glanced at the Little Black Snake playing dead on her wrist. She massaged her forehead in exasperation, taking care not to lift the wrong hand; otherwise, the fluffy ones would definitely misunderstand and think she was kissing the Little Black Snake.

"Huh? Liang He, why do I feel like this Little Black Snake has grown horns on his head?"

Every time Xu Yi saw Liang He trapped in a fluffy chaotic scene, he couldn’t help but revel in the spectacle. Since the Little Black Snake was the primary target of the fluffy creatures’ hostility, Xu Yi naturally paid extra attention to him.

"Grown horns?"

Liang He raised her hand in confusion, bringing her wrist up to eye level. She met the Little Black Snake’s beady eyes but noticed nothing unusual. "Doctor Xu, are your eyes playing tricks on you?"

There was clearly nothing on the Little Black Snake’s head.

"No, that’s not right. I clearly just saw two little horns on his head..." Xu Yi leaned in closer to stare at the Little Black Snake, but indeed couldn’t find the tiny horns he had caught a glimpse of earlier. He scratched his head in bewilderment. Could it really be that he was too tired lately and his eyes were playing tricks on him?

Elias, who had quickly retracted his little horns, thought, "That was close. I almost blew my cover."

"AWOO~"

Seeing that Liang He’s attention had been diverted by Xu Yi, the Mojin King Tiger approached in dissatisfaction. He patted Liang He’s calf with the soft pads of his front paws, demanding her attention.

"Hmm? Cedriel, what’s wrong?" Liang He casually reached out to rub the Mojin King Tiger’s ears, but she accidentally lifted the wrong hand, nearly delivering the Little Black Snake straight into the tiger’s mouth.

"HISS!"

The Little Black Snake slithered rapidly up Liang He’s arm, determined to get as far away from this dangerous big cat as possible. However, just as he escaped the tiger, the eagle swooped in.

Green Tea Eagle Lanton had long been annoyed by the Little Black Snake. Compared to the other Beast Beasts, this guy was far too scheming and cunning.

"SCREECH!"

The Canglan Hunting Eagle tried to snatch the Little Black Snake, but the sly creature was far too insidious. He actually climbed on top of Liang He’s hair bun, leaving Lanton with no way to strike.

"Hey, this little thing is quite smart. He actually knows how to use you to protect himself."

Seeing the Little Black Snake’s incredibly human-like actions, Xu Yi suddenly felt a flash of insight cross his mind. Unfortunately, it came and went so fast that he couldn’t grasp it before it slipped away entirely.

"Snakes are inherently spiritual, so it’s normal for them to understand human nature. In the mythology of Blue Star, snakes can transform into Flood Dragons, and then from Flood Dragons into real Dragons. That alone proves their natural gifts."

Liang He, who had always been deeply interested in the myths and legends of Blue Star, spoke about this with great clarity and logic. There was even a hint of pride in her words. She wasn’t joking—these were the reserves of the Dragon Clan. Dragons! Just thinking about it was incredibly cool.

"Really? What do Dragons look like? Are they domineering?"

Every time Xu Yi heard Liang He talk about various mythical creatures, he grew especially curious. He didn’t know if what she said was true or false, but it sounded fascinating anyway.

"Dragons... Ah! I almost forgot I have meat stewing in the pot!"

Liang He had barely started when she was summoned away by the stewing meat in the kitchen. She left behind a disappointed Xu Yi, who drooped his head and sighed over his failed attempt to gossip. However, he wasn’t the only one feeling disappointed.

After hearing Liang He mention Flood Dragons and Dragons, Elias’s originally clear beady eyes turned pitch-black. He fell deep into thought, and his mind was only pulled back by the tantalizing aroma of the food when dinner was served.

"HISS?"

Out of curiosity, Elias took advantage of Liang He and the others not paying attention. He snatched a small piece of stewed meat and swallowed it whole. The delicious taste that hit his tongue made his eyes instantly light up.

He thought, "Do Blue Star people really eat this well? It’s so delicious! Then what on earth is the nutrient solution I’ve been drinking all these years?!"

"You can’t do that." The Little Black Snake, who was just about to sneak another piece of meat, was instantly caught red-handed by Liang He. "You should only be able to eat raw meat, right?"

Liang He, who had never raised a snake before, was unsure for the first time. "Doctor Xu, can snakes eat oil and salt?"

"Huh? You’re asking me?"

Although Xu Yi was indeed a Veterinarian, this question was genuinely out of his depth. After all, they were people who previously only drank nutrient solution and had no concept of gourmet food. Naturally, animals were only fed raw meat.

"I don’t know either. Maybe it’s best not to feed him that?"

When in doubt, it was safer to abstain. Liang He felt his reasoning made sense. Furthermore, if she only fed human food to the Little Black Snake and excluded the other fluffy creatures, they would definitely get jealous and angry, and then she would be the one who had to coax them.

"Little Black Snake, you should just be good and go eat your raw meat." Liang He peeled the Little Black Snake off the dining table and placed him on the floor, where his exclusive little bowl was set.

Failing to satisfy his appetite, the Little Black Snake flicked his tail in displeasure. His beady eyes shot a resentful glare at Xu Yi, blaming the man for cutting off his path to delicious food.

"Strange, why do I feel a bit cold?" Xu Yi, who was currently being secretly cursed by the Little Black Snake, inexplicably felt a chill and hurriedly adjusted the indoor thermostat.

After they finished eating, Xu Yi and Hoder took turns cleaning up. Once everything was settled, Liang He led them in enjoying the fun of the shopping carnival.

Because it was their first time participating in a massive online shopping event, the three of them were incredibly excited. They furiously snatched up deals until midnight. It wasn’t until the Mengji Snow Leopard and the others were too sleepy to keep their eyes open that Xu Yi and Hoder finally tore themselves away from the animal dormitory.

"MEOW~"

The Mengji Snow Leopard forced his eyes open. Waiting until Liang He finished washing up and lay down, he immediately claimed the spot right next to her. He nonchalantly placed his tail in the palm of Liang He’s hand, a gesture that made him feel very secure.

Watching the Mengji Snow Leopard fall into a deep slumber, the other fluffy creatures also gathered around and found their own sleeping spots. Liang He stared at the ceiling, unable to help but sigh in realization.

The bed was still too small! Should she take advantage of the shopping festival to custom-order a much larger bed?

"Forget it, I should just sleep first." Already exhausted, Liang He lazily let out a yawn and drifted into a deep sleep alongside her fluffy companions.

Blue Star’s shopping festival lasted for nearly half a month, racking up hundreds of billions of orders, but this didn’t affect the delivery speed in the slightest. In just two days, Liang He received the packages delivered by interstellar Super Express.

"GRUNT!"

Liang He had asked Hoder for help, picking up the deliveries from the main service station in advance. As soon as she opened one of the packages, the sharp-eyed Iron-eating Beast spotted his favorite ball.

"I know, I know. I’ll give it to you right away."

After tearing off the ball’s packaging, Liang He wiped it down with a clean towel before tossing it to the Iron-eating Beast.

The moment he got the ball, the Iron-eating Beast became incredibly energized. When he played previously, he had an injured foot and had to be somewhat steady. Now that he was fully healed, he played with reckless abandon.

"AWOO~"

"MEOW!"

"SCREECH~"

"AROO~"

Seeing that the Iron-eating Beast had a new toy, the other fluffy creatures spontaneously lined up, waiting for Liang He to distribute theirs. Even the two little wolf pups, guided by the Silver Moon Wolf, obediently lined up at the end, sitting upright like stuffed toys. They were absolutely adorable.

Fortunately, Liang He never played favorites. She would carefully select suitable toys based on each Beast Beast’s preferred type. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be breaking the hearts of a whole group of fluffy companions?

"Alright, alright. Everyone just line up one by one. There are toys for everyone, so no fighting." Liang He began to hand out the toys.
