Chapter 345: Chapter 345
An Yan’s lips curled with pleasure.
This counterattack was simply perfect!
A single piece of Talisman Paper had perfectly transferred the fungi to the proboscis of the mechanical mosquitoes, making Matsumoto Mina suffer the consequences of her own actions.
With such a perfect retaliation, Bai Wu should spit out Yezi now, shouldn’t he?
An Yan glanced over, but to her disappointment, the Talisman Technique branch was still bare!
Couldn’t making Matsumoto Mina suffer get Bai Wu’s attention?
Did she have to completely deal with this Matsumoto Mina for it to work?
Or could it be that Matsumoto Mina had neutralized her attack?
An Yan opened the other party’s live stream.
An hour had passed, and Matsumoto Mina had not emerged from the resting room.
Instead, the other members of their team had abandoned their previous ease, hurrying in and out of the resting room.
An Yan closed her eyes and focused her mental energy on her ears, easily catching their conversation.
Matsumoto Mina and two other teammates were infected and were arranging for Dong Xuelian to be brought over.
And they were ordering fifteen at once!
They even specified to transport them using the highest security level!
An Yan frowned, worried that the other party might also use some Mystic Technique to transport the Dong Xuelian.
After all, her own capabilities were still somewhat weak. She was quite concerned about exposing herself if she acted rashly against her opponents.
As An Yan was pondering, she suddenly heard Mu Enyu’s voice, "Little Squirrel, can you stop drooling over the medicinal herbs?"
An Yan turned her head towards the cabinet where the herbs were stored.
Little Squirrel was squatting in front of the cabinet door, its eyes intently fixed on the remaining Dong Xuelian inside, its mouth dripping saliva.
"How about some dried fish, would you like that?"
Nurse Lai Hui, a cat lover, always carried little snacks with her and would feed any cat she encountered.
In her opinion, dried fish were the most delicious treat for pets.
Yet Little Squirrel gave her a disdainful glance. It was a squirrel, not a cat—what did it want with dried fish?
Lai Hui was so charmed by its little expression that she eagerly stretched out her hand to pet it. However, Little Squirrel swiftly flicked its tail and hopped over to An Yan’s side.
Pointing at the Dong Xuelian, it chattered, "SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK..."
Lai Hui was stunned, "Is it tattling?"
Mu Enyu nodded, "Obviously! I guess it’s saying that it’s a squirrel, but you treated it like a cat, so it wants Sister Yan to stand up for it."
Lai Hui hastily waved her hands, "I didn’t mean that, Little Squirrel. I just, I only have dried fish in my pocket right now. I’ll bring you some nuts next time, okay?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ⓝovelFire.net
Little Squirrel remained silent and motionless.
Its master said that in front of outsiders, it must not appear too clever. Otherwise, it would end up like last time—being caught and forced to find Spirit Stones for people!
So it had to act dumb and silly!
Lai Hui looked at An Yan again, "Sister Yan..."
An Yan smiled, "It’s just a squirrel. Do you really think it understands you? Go on, get busy."
After watching Lai Hui leave, An Yan grabbed Little Squirrel, "Want to say something? Write it out."
Little Squirrel tilted its head, hopped aside to grab its special paper and pen, pointed at the Dong Xuelian, and then wrote, "Eat!"
An Yan looked at it with a smile, "Can’t you write the words ’Dong Xuelian’?"
Little Squirrel added dejectedly, "Eat, Dong Xuelian!"
Why were there so many strokes in these few characters?
An Yan said with a laugh, "Sure, the Dong Xuelian on the other side will soon be delivered. If you want it, go get it yourself."
Little Squirrel wrote again, "Can I?"
"Of course you can!" An Yan nodded, "But you have to remember one thing—you can only take, not eat!"
Little Squirrel was stunned.
I only wanted to take them so I could eat them, Master!
An Yan continued, "Sister Zhilan has been secretly poisoned and needs the Dong Xuelian for the antidote. Think about it, is your eating important, or is Sister Zhilan’s beauty more important?"
The appearance-conscious Little Squirrel hesitated for a moment, then slowly wrote, "Beauty?"
"Yes. Be good now, go get it yourself later. Remember to put it into your space, understand?"
Little Squirrel nodded and then wrote again, "One flower!"
"That depends on how many you can get! If you only get one, then it will definitely be for your Sister Zhilan’s use."
Little Squirrel understood.
It hopped and darted out.
Three hours later, the goods from Country R arrived.
Matsumoto Mina’s nose had turned entirely blue. Wearing a large mask, she excitedly pounced forward and quickly opened the locked box.
She had already adjusted all the machinery, just waiting for the arrival of the Dong Xuelian, so as to immediately extract the medicine.
Five Dong Xuelian flowers could yield one milliliter, and this one milliliter could cure the snail fungus poison!
However, just as she finished entering the password, several mice suddenly scurried out in the room.
By the time everyone had chased the mice away, the contents of the box had also disappeared.
An Yan looked at the fifteen Dong Xuelian flowers that had mysteriously appeared in her mind and couldn’t help but let her lips curve up once more.
Little Squirrel was really getting smarter.
She hadn’t expected that the little one could even command mice!
While Matsumoto Mina and her party were distracted by the mice, Little Squirrel threw the Transfer Talisman into the box. Then, fifteen Dong Xuelian flowers, not one less, were all transferred into the space in her mind.
Ever since she had stored the Raw Stone in her mind last time, An Yan had realized that the space where the big tree resided could hold items.
It took her considerable effort to figure out how to store things inside. Firstly, the big tree had to be willing. Secondly, she needed to touch the item. The third method was using a Transfer Talisman.
This time, Little Squirrel used the Transfer Talisman!
And it used it without anyone noticing!
An Yan generously rewarded Little Squirrel with a whole Dong Xuelian flower.
Matsumoto Mina was furious and demanded the delivery person to prove they hadn’t opened the box along the way.
The other party was so anxious they almost cried, "Miss Meina, the password for this box was set by Lord Matsumoto himself, how could we possibly open it?"
"Then where is the medicine? Where is it?"
The delivery person had no idea.
At this moment, Ono Eishi stepped forward, "Miss Meina, panicking now is not the solution. How about this, I’ll make a personal trip back to our country and fetch the Dong Xuelian."
Matsumoto Mina turned her head and stared at him for a while, "You’re not trying to flee in the face of battle, are you?"
Ono Eishi’s act of giving the Dong Xuelian to Su Siming had always bothered her!
"Your subordinate wouldn’t dare!"
Ono Eishi bowed his head, "Miss Meina, Ono is your most loyal servant, please trust me."
After much consideration, Matsumoto Mina still didn’t let him go, but designated her own assistant to return instead.
A flicker of jealousy flashed through Ono Eishi’s downcast eyes!
No matter how much he did for Matsumoto Mina, it seemed she wasn’t willing to see him as a close confidant!
Suddenly, Su Siming’s words echoed in his mind, "...With such precious medicine, how could you possibly get it? You are just a person who is temporarily useful to Matsumoto Mina. She just wants to use you..."
Since giving the Dong Xuelian to Su Siming, Su Siming no longer paid Ono Eishi any mind.
Ono Eishi knew Su Siming was also just using him. These days, he had been observing the opposing team.
