"Are you sure you want to fight me?"
He did not like bullying others proactively, but that did not mean he was afraid. On the contrary, he was quite interested in fighting...
He even felt as if the blood in his entire body burned and cheered with joy whenever he fought.
Shi Hao's chubby little face barely managed to squeeze out an angry expression as he stared straight at Flender below. He could tell that Flender was the strongest among this group!
Flender's throat bobbed. For some reason... although Shi Hao looked completely harmless, even his angry expression was somewhat amusing.
Yet under Shi Hao's gaze, Flender felt a chill run through his entire body. His instincts told him... if he agreed, he might die.
So Flender immediately forced out an awkward laugh.
"It's a misunderstanding... all a misunderstanding. Why would I possibly want to fight you?"
Tang San looked at Flender, his eyes full of confusion. Why had he admitted defeat so quickly?!
"Dean..."
"Xiao San, shut up!"
Flender snapped coldly. This child was truly far from ordinary. Tang San could not see it yet, but as a Spirit Saint, Flender could.
"You really won't fight?"
Shi Hao scratched his head. He was genuinely interested in fighting, because he did not even know how strong he was now!
"No fighting, no fighting... do as you please."
Seeing how cowardly the other side was, Shi Hao could only let it go. He patted the Demonic Pattern White Tiger beneath him and the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demonic Spider beside him.
"Little Spider... Big Cat, let's go!!"
He did not want to bother with these people anymore!
"Meow!"
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger carried Shi Hao away. Before leaving, it cast this group a disdainful look.
These people perhaps had no idea just how great an opportunity they had missed. That was right... an opportunity.
After being defeated by the Seven Gourd Babies and forced to stay there, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger had long realized just how extraordinary these Gourd Babies were. Their heaven-defying potential far surpassed that of ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Staying by their side also brought endless benefits. That was why the Demonic Pattern White Tiger had become increasingly obedient.
It was not only because it feared Shi Hao, but also because it wanted to cling to Shi Hao's thigh.
And now, as the first humans Shi Hao had encountered after leaving home, these people should have found it easy to befriend Da Wa... but because of that young man named Tang San, they had parted on bad terms!
What a massive loss.
The Shrek Seven Devils simply watched Shi Hao's retreating figure gradually disappear from view.
Tang San narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Shi Hao's departing back, seemingly lost in thought.
"Didn't Father say... that humans outside were all very friendly? Why are these people so annoying!"
So annoying ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ
Shi Hao's little face drooped as he sat on the Demonic Pattern White Tiger's back, randomly waving a vine.
Shi Bantian often told them that the outside world was wonderful and that people were interesting, but after meeting the Shrek Seven Devils, Shi Hao did not feel that way at all.
Especially that one wearing blue. Shi Hao hated the way that person looked at him... If Shi Bantian had not told him not to casually make enemies, he would have punched that guy right in the face.
"I'm unhappy... unhappy. Those people hurt my Little Spider, then acted like I was the one who did something wrong. They were obviously the ones at fault!"
"Hmph!"
Shi Hao muttered angrily. He did not really want to deal with strangers anymore. He looked furiously at the Demonic Pattern White Tiger and the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demonic Spider beside him.
"Big Cat, Little Spider... don't you think I'm right?"
"Right... absolutely right. It's all those guys' fault!"
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger nodded frantically, but the Cave Spider beside it seemed distracted. It lowered its head, seemingly occupied with something.
"Little Spider... why aren't you saying anything?"
Because he was a Gourd Baby, Shi Hao could communicate with most intelligent Soul Beasts, and the Cave Spider was no exception.
"N-Nothing... Boss..."
The Cave Spider answered vaguely, its mouth puffed up as though it were holding something inside. Shi Hao frowned.
"What are you eating... You found something tasty and didn't even think to share? Is that what I taught you?"
"I-I'm not eating anything. You saw wrong, Boss."
"Tell the truth. Don't make me beat you!"
The Cave Spider: "???"
Seeing Shi Hao raise his tender little fist, the Cave Spider immediately recalled the terror of being dominated. It instantly caved!
It opened its mouth wide... and then spat out a large yellow flower. That yellow flower emitted a captivating fragrance!
Aromatic Silk Beauty!
It was precisely the Immortal Herb the Cave Spider had swallowed. Naturally, it could not digest it all at once, so it had planned to hide it and slowly digest it. But Shi Hao had discovered it ahead of time!
"This flower, this aura..."
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger instinctively licked its lips, its eyes filled with greed. It felt that if it swallowed this flower and refined it completely, it would definitely gain enormous benefits.
The Cave Spider sighed inwardly. It was over... this flower probably could not be kept.
"This flower... is kind of pretty."
A cheerful voice soon rang out. The Demonic Pattern White Tiger turned its head and saw Shi Hao's innocent little face.
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger: "..."
Was pretty the only thing you noticed? Was that the point? The point was that this flower was extremely extraordinary, alright?
"You think... I'm going to fight you over it?"
Shi Hao looked at the two of them and found it rather amusing. He could not be bothered to compete with the two of them for something.
"Don't worry... I won't fight you for it. Father taught me... not to take what others cherish."
The Cave Spider's eyes immediately lit up, and the Demonic Pattern White Tiger was the same.
But Shi Hao immediately turned to look at the Demonic Pattern White Tiger.
"You... aren't allowed to steal Little Spider's things either. He risked his life to snatch this himself."
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger: ...
The Demonic Pattern White Tiger drooped its head and could only give up. The Cave Spider happily prepared to put away the Immortal Herb.
But in the next moment!
Aromatic Silk Beauty suddenly burst forth with intense light and directly blasted it away... as though it did not want the Cave Spider to touch it.
If it could speak, it would definitely be spewing curses right now.
Not only that, it seemed to possess intelligence as it slowly floated up... arriving before Shi Hao.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
It flashed rhythmically, as though it were communicating with Shi Hao.
Shi Hao frowned slightly.
"Ah... you're saying you want to follow me?"
"But you already belong to Little Spider, don't you?"
"What... he isn't worthy of your allegiance, and you only want to follow me."
"That won't do. I promised someone else..."
"Hey... what are you doing?"
In the next moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Shi Hao. More precisely... toward the little gourd on top of his head.
Shi Hao had always had a small red gourd resting atop his head ever since he was born... with green leaves decorating it beside him!
And at this moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty seemed to come alive. It shrank on its own... then merged into the little gourd on his head, linking together with the green leaves beside it!
This change happened so quickly that even Shi Hao could not react in time!
This Immortal Herb seemed determined to follow him!
