Extra 7: So I Was the One with Unstable Spacetime-Going Back to Take a Look
The breast meat, in particular, was piping hot, and its delicious, rich flavor filled the mouth, making one hungrier and hungrier, until sweat beaded on the tip of the nose.
After taking the first bite, Jian Mo finally understood why the little gray cat and the little white wolf were in such a hurry.
No, they weren't in a hurry enough; at least they maintained their eating manners.
Humans who eat delicious food are truly ravenous, not only eating quickly and hastily, but also not missing a single bit of the flavor.
After finishing the breast meat in their hands, those people seemed to want to lick their fingers as well. Finally, they rubbed the leaf that held the breast meat, stuffed it into their mouths, and ate it with satisfaction.
Looking at their expressions, Jian Mo assumed the leaves would taste good, but when she put one in her mouth, a bitter taste instantly spread across her tongue.
It seems that no one usually eats these leaves; they're only benefiting from the plump flesh today.
Noticing Jian Mo's gaze, someone said apologetically, "The most valuable part of the Cloud Scorpion is its breast meat, followed by its stinger. We usually can't bear to eat it ourselves, so it's a rare treat. We've been a bit rude."
Jian Mo: "I understand, we rarely get to eat such delicious food."
The man said, "We've kept two pieces of breast meat for you to take back later; you can have another meal tomorrow morning."
The breast meat was so delicious, and thinking of Jiujiu and Ying'ao at home, Jian Mo didn't refuse. "Then we won't be polite. We'll give this one a massage after we rest for a bit."
The others nodded quickly.
With the patient's condition being paramount, Jian Mo didn't rest for long before directing the little gray cat to continue grooming the giant octopus monster.
The little gray cat is the embodiment of his spirit; when the little gray cat is tired, his head throbs.
However, since Jian Mo was still able to persevere and didn't have the habit of giving up halfway, he persisted.
After a long period of work, Jian Mo finally directed the little gray cat to untie all the knots tied by the giant octopus monster, and the monster's owner opened his eyes.
Jian Mo quickly went over to check on him and asked him some questions. The giant octopus monster's owner was conscious, but his thinking was not very clear, and he might have some aftereffects.
However, things are getting better now, and he should recover soon.
After Jian Mo finished treating the group, she said, "I'm not particularly skilled at treating this kind of illness. When you get back, find a reliable person to examine you and help with the recovery."
People nodded quickly.
Jian Mo glanced at Wu Jiong, signaling with her eyes that they could leave. Spending the night among strangers wasn't a pleasant experience, Jian Mo hoped they could find another place to stay.
Wu Jiong had no objections.
When people heard that they were leaving, they quickly cut off the stinger of the Cloud Scorpion and gave it to them as payment. After they refused the world's coins, they gave them two daggers and two jars of spices.
This is a pretty good result.
Jian Mo happily pulled Wu Jiong away to say goodbye to the people, rode off on the giant wolf with the little gray cat, and they went to find another place to spend the night.
Chapter 207 Extra Chapter 7 It turns out that I'm the one whose time and space are unstable -- Let's go back and take a look.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong rode the giant wolf for a while outside, then went up the mountain to take a look.
Night fell, and the moonlight illuminated the earth, making everything appear very peaceful.
In the distance, the town lights twinkled like stars, seemingly reflecting the brilliance of the stars in the sky.
Jian Mo, holding the shrunken white wolf cub, looked at the town ahead. "There's no electricity; the lights are oil lamps."
Wu Jiong held the little gray kitten, stroking its back absently. "It's not as developed as the world we visited before."
Jian Mo nodded. "I think so too, but it's also possible that the two civilizations are not the same, so they can't be compared."
Wu Jiong: "That's also possible."
The two did not go down the mountain to explore; they simply stayed on the mountain and looked around.
In the middle of the night, the dew started to fall. Wu Jiong made the little white wolf grow bigger, and then he and Jian Mo climbed onto the little white wolf's back to sleep.
Jian Mo held the little gray kitten in her arms, Wu Jiong held Jian Mo in his arms. They slept on the back of the giant wolf, which curled up, turned its head to its chest, and stared at them with its eyes open.
With the fluffy wolf ears right in front of him, Jian Mo couldn't resist reaching out and stroking them, saying to Wu Jiong, "It's like a dream."
Wu Jiong: "You mean sleeping on my Spirit Body is like a dream?"
Jian Mo shook her head. "No, I feel like the whole process was a dream. There's a story in my hometown called 'The Yellow Millet Dream,' and sometimes I wonder if my life is a dream?"
Wu Jiong: "What's that story about?"
Jian Mo: "A story about someone dreaming that they become a very powerful person and have a very powerful partner."
Jian Mo recounted the story of the Yellow Millet Dream using a format that was easier for Wu Jiong to understand.
Wu Jiong thought for a moment, "Didn't you say that if a person hasn't experienced something, they can't even dream about it?"
Jian Mo: "That's a saying, um."
Wu Jiong lowered his head and kissed Jian Mo.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, a tingling sensation rising within them. Jian Mo felt a little breathless and gripped Wu Jiong's hand tightly.
After a moment, Wu Jiong said softly, "See, this doesn't seem like something you could just dream about."
Jian Mo two deep breaths. "That makes sense."
Wu Jiong was his first love. Apart from Wu Jiong, he had never been this close to anyone else, so he probably couldn't have dreamt of such detailed content.
Jian Mo was smiling, about to say something more, when she looked up and saw the little gray cat and the giant wolf staring intently at them.
Noticing his gaze, the giant wolf's thick ears twitched, and the little gray cat's ears seemed to itch as well, scratching them with its hind legs.
The two Spirit Body continued to watch them, seemingly very interested in them.
Under such intense gazes, their ears felt slightly hot.
Jian Mo to deal with the giant wolf, Jane picked up the little gray cat and held it in her arms, cupping its face in her hands and gently rubbing it. "What are you looking at?"
The little gray cat wasn't a real cat, and even when treated like this, it didn't scratch his wrist or bite his hand. Instead, it gently meowed under his palm.
