Chapter Seventy-One: It's Called ...... Let's make rice balls! (Fifth Update!) [Ask for subscription, ask for recommendation, ask for reward!] 】
And seeing Lin Ye, to be precise, the roast rabbit meat in Lin Ye's hand, the white gold-eating rat suddenly stood up and sniffed, and couldn't help but let out a burst of "squeak!" full of longing! Sound.
Then, he leaned over to Lin Ye with some caution.
"Dare to come over, aren't you afraid of me?"
Seeing that the white gold-devouring rat actually leaned towards him, thinking that he had just killed the mandala snake that was chasing and killing the white gold-devouring rat, and this mutant gold-devouring rat was not afraid of him, Lin Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Squeak!"
However, this gold-devouring rat didn't seem to be afraid of Lin Ye.
Although the snow-white body did tremble a little, the white gold-devouring rat still looked at the roast rabbit meat in Lin Ye's hand with a blank eye, and his mouth "squeak!" He shouted and slowly approached Lin Ye.
"It's kind of interesting......"
Seeing the approach of this white gold-devouring rat, Lin Ye suddenly felt some interest in his heart.
If it was a normal time, Lin Ye might not have paid attention to this gold devouring rat.
But after staying in the Eternal Night Forest for so long, Lin Ye faced fierce soul beasts like the Thunder Demon Bear, the Wind Demon Wolf King, the Ghost Leopard, and the Red Fire Tiger every day, and almost every day was spent in cultivation and fighting.
For seven days, although Lin Ye also enjoyed the fun, he inevitably felt a little bored sometimes, especially today when he was preparing to leave.
Looking at the white gold-devouring rat in front of him, Lin Ye suddenly became a little interested in this strange soul beast...... It's cute!
"Little one, come here!"
Seeing the gold-devouring rat approaching, Lin Ye tore off a small piece of rabbit meat from the roast rabbit in his hand, then shook it at the gold-devouring rat and smiled softly.
"Squeak!"
Maybe he felt that Lin Ye had no ill will towards him, or maybe he was tempted by the food, and was beckoned by Lin Ye like this, the white gold-devouring rat suddenly stood up, and then regardless of whether it was dangerous or not, he ran over quickly, stood in front of Lin Ye, bit the roast rabbit meat in Lin Ye's hand, took it down, and ate it.
"Huh."
Seeing the movements of this white gold-eating rat, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile softly, stretched out a finger, and gently stroked this white gold-eating rat.
Strangely, although it was small, only the size of a fist, and looked like a white ball, the fur of this gold-eating rat was very fluffy and very pleasant to the touch.
And with Lin Ye's touch, the gold-devouring rat was eating roast rabbit meat, and it also let out a very comfortable soft snort in its throat.
After the white gold-eater rat ate the roast rabbit meat he was given, Lin Ye tore off a little rabbit meat and handed it to the white gold-eater rat.
Then taking this opportunity, Lin Ye began to carefully observe the white gold-devouring rat.
The first impression of this white gold-eating rat to Lin Ye is white, snow-white and flawless white, and the size is also very small, only the size of a fist, in the white hair, there is a pair of pale pink small ears, the mouth is closed one by one, you can see the sharp teeth, and on the hands, you can also see the sharp claws exposed on the small claws, although it is very short, but it is cold and shining, of course, the most eye-catching thing about this white gold-eating rat is the tuft of golden hair at the center of the eyebrows, which looks extraordinarily special.
"Squeak!"
While Lin Ye was observing, the white gold-devouring rat had already finished eating the roast rabbit meat, raised its head, and let out a pitiful cry at Lin Ye.
"Here you go."
Seeing the pitiful appearance of this white gold-eating rat, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile faintly, tore off some rabbit meat again, and handed it to the white gold-eating rat.
The white gold-eating rat happily took the rabbit meat and ate it again.
However, the size of the white gold-eating rat is still too small, only the size of a fist, so it can no longer eat the amount of meat that the gray-haired hare's calf has not reached.
After eating, the white gold-eating rat, which was originally like a small white ball, suddenly became more round, lying on the ground, belly turned out, looking like it had eaten and was about to die, like a snowball, and let out a burst of satisfied "squeak!" Sound.
"What a gluttonous little fellow!"
Looking at the white gold-devouring rat on the ground that had eaten enough and its body had become round, Lin Ye couldn't help but show a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and held his hands together.
"As a soul beast, you actually came to me to beg for food, and you are not afraid that I will eat you."
With his left hand on the white gold-eating rat, Lin Ye gently stroked the white gold-eating rat's hair with his right hand, feeling the softness coming from his fingertips, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Squeak!"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, I don't know if I understood it, the white gold devouring rat suddenly jumped onto Lin Ye's shoulder, rubbed its round little face on Lin Ye's cheek, and let out a flattering "squeak!" Sound.
"What, do you think I won't hurt you?"
Lin Ye couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his right hand, and took the white gold devouring rat again.
"Since you believe me so much, then you can follow me in the future, and I will give you a name."
Looking at the white gold-devouring rat in his hand, the snow-white hair all over his body, the round body, and the pinch of golden hair in the center of his eyebrows, Lin Ye pondered.
"Look at your snow-white, round, like a small rice ball, just call you a rice ball!"
"Squeak!"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, it was as if he understood, the white gold devouring rat, oh no! It was Tangyuan who suddenly stood up and squeaked happily.
……
The night passed quickly.
The next day, early in the morning.
The sun had just risen, and the golden morning light tore through the white clouds and shone down, spilling onto Lin Ye's face through the layers of leaves.
"Hmm......"
Feeling the warmth of his face, Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the flourishing branches and leaves around him, Lin Ye sat up slightly, stretching his bones that were a little sore because he had leaned on the trunk for a night.
"It's dawn......"
Looking at the sun that had risen in the sky, Lin Ye stood up from the tree, jumped up, tossed in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.
Simply cleaned his teeth with cotton sticks and salt grains, then washed his face, and after washing, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel that the whole person was much more awake, and then he was ready to pack up his things and leave.
But before leaving, Lin Ye suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong.
"Seems like something is missing?"
Lin Ye frowned and muttered to himself.
"That's right, Tangyuan!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Lin Ye was suddenly shocked and thought about it.
I haven't brought the pet I took last night with me!
It seems that before going to bed yesterday, he dug a hole in the tree and put the rice balls in it.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly walked quickly to the tree that had dug the hole in the tree yesterday.
But when I looked into the hole in the tree, there was no round white figure inside.
"Why is it gone?!"
Lin Ye was shocked.
"Did you run away?"
Although reason told Lin Ye that this white gold-devouring rat was probably indeed taking the opportunity to run away after deceiving and eating, but emotionally, Lin Ye still didn't want to believe it.
"Tangyuan!"
"Tangyuan!"
"Tangyuan!"
……
Feeling a little unwilling, Lin Ye began to search for the big trees and bushes around him, and while searching, he called out the name of the white gold-eating rat.
With the spirituality shown by the white gold-eating rat last night, Lin Ye believed that this white gold-eating rat must know what the word tangyuan meant.
But it's a pity......
Although Lin Ye kept searching within a radius of 100 meters, and had been searching for almost an hour, he still didn't find the existence of the familiar white gold-devouring rat.
"Are you really gone......"
Looking at the dense woods around him, Lin Ye felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Although he has always been accustomed to being alone, but last night he was accompanied by a little guy full of spirituality, and Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little missing.
"Forget it, let's go."
After searching for an hour and not finding it, Lin Ye also gave up, cleaned up his mood, and prepared to leave here.
But just as Lin Ye was about to leave, not far away, there was a sudden familiar "squeak!" Sound.
Lin Ye turned his head to look, only to see a white shadow running towards him quickly.
"Tangyuan?!"
Lin Ye was a little surprised.
