Chapter 230 Xiao Wu's Anticipation, Bi Ji Finally Arrives
Xiao Wu followed behind Su Chen. Seeing how familiar Su Chen was with the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu immediately thought of the two adults inside Su Chen's body. With those two there, Su Chen naturally wouldn't feel unfamiliar with the Star Dou Great Forest.
With a slight sigh of disappointment, Xiao Wu looked at Su Chen with sparkling eyes. She knew in her heart that the most important thing to do at this moment was to silently follow Su Chen and not disturb him.
But Xiao Wu and Su Chen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and her longing for him was almost overflowing.
Now that Xiao Wu has met Su Chen, how can she act rationally?
"Brother Su Chen, how long will you be staying in Xingdou this time?"
"What, want to come out and have some fun with me?"
Su Chen bent down under a tree, picked a medicinal herb and put it into his storage space. He then straightened up and looked at Xiao Wu, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
The other person's desire to go out and explore with him wasn't something that had only been going on for a day or two.
If nothing goes wrong, or if the hidden dangers of the Spirit Hall are resolved, Su Chen will certainly not refuse Xiao Wu's request.
However, Xiao Wu, as a soul beast capable of transforming into a human, is not as capable of protecting herself as Bi Ji, Di Tian, and others.
If he were to appear rashly in the human world and be discovered by the Spirit Hall, it would only bring him death. Su Chen could protect him for a while, but not forever.
Ultimately, it comes down to Xiao Wu's own lack of strength.
"Brother Su Chen, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean to pester you to leave."
Subconsciously retorting, Xiao Wu glanced at Su Chen, somewhat afraid that the Silver Dragon King might suddenly appear and reprimand her again.
The main thing is that Xiao Wu really didn't expect to pester Su Chen this time.
Her purpose in asking Su Chen this question was to see if Su Chen could stay longer.
That way, she could show Su Chen the beautiful scenery of the Starry Sky Forest.
As someone who wanders around the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu has every reason to believe that the two adults on Su Chen's body are not as knowledgeable about many aspects of the Star Dou Great Forest as she is!
"I was thinking that if Brother Su Chen stays longer this time, I'd like to show him around properly. Brother Su Chen has come many times, but he's always in a rush. I guess he's never really had a chance to explore properly, right?"
"We have many beautiful landscapes here."
Xiao Wu stared at Su Chen expectantly, but her hopeful gaze slowly turned into disappointment as Su Chen remained silent.
"I came here for two reasons: first, to collect some medicinal herbs, and second, to discuss some matters with Di Tian."
"I need to oversee the medicinal herbs, so I won't be leaving immediately."
Looking into Xiao Wu's eyes, Su Chen couldn't bring himself to refuse. He thought about his mission in the Star Dou Great Forest and how long he might stay before finally answering Xiao Wu.
"Discussing something with Di Tian shouldn't take up all the time I spend collecting medicinal herbs here."
"Once I'm done with my work, I can spend some time with you."
As Su Chen spoke, Xiao Wu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Eventually, she jumped up, clenched her fists at her chest, and exclaimed, "Great!"
Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Su Chen chuckled and shook his head.
He wasn't very old in Douluo Continent, and before coming here, he had been in Naruto for a long time, some say thousands of years. But having experienced so much, Su Chen lacked the lively and unrestrained feeling of a young man.
Looking at Xiao Wu's youthful spirit, Su Chen felt a surge of excitement, and even Xiao Wu's occasional chatter turned into a beautiful melody.
For the rest of the time, Xiao Wu followed behind Su Chen, occasionally saying a few words.
Sometimes he would point to the tree next to him and tell Su Chen about its history.
Sometimes, pointing to the unnamed grass at his feet, he would tell Su Chen how common this grass was in the Star Dou Great Forest, but how it had disappeared outside.
The soul beasts that couldn't yet take human form, which occasionally flew past her, seemed exceptionally real in Xiao Wu's descriptions.
Xiao Wu is right, and Su Chen didn't feel annoyed at all.
It wasn't until Xiao Wu picked another plant that she didn't recognize that she finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked about it.
"Brother Su Chen, the plant you picked has no health benefits other than a good taste."
"Can this kind of plant be used in medicine?"
Xiao Wu squatted down, looking at the small grass in Su Chen's hand with a curious expression.
"it works."
Su Chen nodded slightly and put it away. Just as he straightened up, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Young Master, we've finally caught up with you."
Brigitte's figure slowly descended from the sky, sunlight shining on her and forming a warm yellow halo around her, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
Su Chen sighed inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he inquired.
"Why are you chasing me? I'll go find Di Tian later."
"You also said that you came to Xingdou without informing me or Di Tian. If it weren't for Lord Di Tian sensing your presence and sending me here..."
"Bridget didn't even know you were picking herbs here."
Brigitte descended from the sky and took small steps to Su Chen. She seemed to be complaining, but in reality, she was worried that Su Chen would find it too tiring to do this all by himself.
He's not alone; he clearly has subordinates in this Star Dou Great Forest, so why bother to exhaust himself?
Biji's gaze fell on Xiaowu, her brows furrowed slightly, and she scolded her.
"I won't mention that you left Star Dou on your own despite being ordered by Lord Silver Dragon King."
"Knowing full well the young master's identity, how could you let him pick these things alone? Didn't you know to help?"
"what?"
Little Wu the rabbit had her ears drooping as she was being scolded by Bi Ji. But after hearing the rest, she subconsciously raised her head, pointed at herself, and then looked at Su Chen, her eyes full of grievance.
While Su Chen was gathering herbs, Xiao Wu asked him several times what kind of herbs he was looking for, saying she could help.
Because Su Chen didn't say anything, she could only stay by his side.
Why is she still being scolded at this point?
"Alright, the matter of personally gathering herbs has nothing to do with Xiao Wu."
"I never delegated my work to anyone else."
Su Chen spoke up to explain for Xiao Wu, and when he looked up and saw that Bi Ji still had confusion in her eyes, he continued to explain.
"Some of these medicinal herbs are not familiar to you, and some are even unnamed. There are countless similar things in the world. Based solely on the appearance of the herbs, the ones you choose may not be the ones I want."
Biji understood what Su Chen meant. She watched as Su Chen straightened up and walked towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, and subconsciously asked him a question.
"Has the young master found everything?"
"Um."
Su Chen nodded, "The rest have names, so you don't have to worry about mistaking the herbs."
He's not stupid; how could he possibly pick all of the hundreds of medicinal herbs himself?
The ones he gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest were all nameless Douluo who met his requirements.
The rest can be found by Di Tian's men.
Without needing to gather herbs, Su Chen and his companions quickly reached the center of the Star Dou Great Forest at their speed. (End of Chapter)
