"Your excellency, the Great Sky, your daughter is..." Flander, having pieced together Tang Hao and Tang Sui's nonsensical exchange in his mind, couldn't help but speak up. Tang Sui, who had been staring at the Clear Sky Hammer, then slowly turned her gaze towards him.
Flander: "......"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment. With a thought, he retrieved a slightly worn, long gift box from his storage soul tool.
【Beep - Concentrated energy source detected.】
The system's prompt sounded the instant the long gift box appeared, and Tang Sui's attention was immediately drawn to it. As Tang Hao moved the box in his hand, her gaze followed, as if the box were a magnet, holding her attention captive.
"Eat!" Tang Sui's large, moist black eyes gazed up at Tang Hao, looking like a starved waif, surprised and hesitant to approach the food that had finally appeared.
She couldn't defeat the two-legged creature before her, so she had to exercise restraint.
Seeing his little daughter's eyes glued to the box, Tang Hao chuckled inwardly. Maintaining a calm facade, he channeled his soul power and lifted the lid of the long gift box, revealing a strangely shaped red carrot lying within. The moment the lid was opened, a rich medicinal aroma wafted out.
Slightly bitter with a hint of腥甜, as if steeped in fresh blood, it instantly invigorated the senses.
"Thousand-year Blood Ginseng!" Flander, with his discerning eye, immediately recognized the red carrot emitting a dark red glow. His eyes lit up with desire.
A Thousand-year Blood Ginseng could flawlessly reattach a severed limb, restoring it to its original state. Even at a thousand years, it was an incredibly rare heavenly treasure!
He never expected the Clear Sky Douluo to use it to coax his daughter.
The impoverished Flander felt a pang of envy.
He watched as Tang Hao released the hand that was restraining Tang Sui, took out the Thousand-year Blood Ginseng from the box, and, without any fear of her absorbing too much energy and exploding, handed the entire root to Tang Sui. He then whispered to Tang Sui, whose eyes had become as bright as stars, "Eat until you feel 'full,' but don't overdo it, understand?"
Flander: "!"
Zhao Wuji: "!"
Truly worthy of a Titled Douluo's wealth.
Both men maintained calm expressions, but inwardly marveled at Tang Hao's extravagance and boldness.
Unaware that Tang Hao believed her logical thinking had returned, Tang Sui’s focus was solely on the red carrot.
She ignored the two-legged creatures' words, certain that the red carrot was meant for her.
Then she wouldn't be polite.
Tang Sui silently accepted the Thousand-year Blood Ginseng and began to gnaw on it.
"Crunch, crunch."
The crisp chewing sounds were exceptionally noticeable in the quiet forest.
Tang Hao and the other two watched with twitching eyelids as Tang Sui, with a voracious appetite like a hamster hoarding food, quickly devoured the entire Thousand-year Blood Ginseng in five or six bites. Tang Hao didn't even have time to snatch the remaining part before it was gone.
After chewing and swallowing the last bite, Tang Sui heard a system prompt. Then, she suddenly closed her eyes, her breathing becoming calm.
【Beep - Sufficient energy replenishment acquired. Adjusting body data, welcome back, foolish host.】
The three of them stared intently at Tang Sui, who had fallen silent after devouring the Blood Ginseng. They watched as the little girl stiffened for a few seconds, then her long, curled eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened a pair of crystal-blue eyes, looking as if she had just woken up, her gaze filled with the daze of just waking.
Seeing Tang Sui's clear blue eyes restored, Tang Hao felt a slight sense of relief.
Flander and Zhao Wuji, however, watched in surprise as Tang Sui transformed from a dangerous and fearsome beast into a cute little kitten, her demeanor innocent and pure.
This must be the normal Tang Sui.
Upon meeting those dazed and clear blue eyes, Flander made a mental note, silently elevating his level of attention towards Tang Sui.
"Sui Sui, how are you feeling now?"
Seeing that Tang Sui seemed to have regained her senses, Tang Hao pulled down his cloak's hood, revealing his familiar, weathered face to avoid frightening his daughter.
"Dad?" Tang Sui blinked in surprise at the sight of Tang Hao. However, after recalling her previous foolish behavior, the confusion and innocence on her face instantly turned into a stunned expression, her mind feeling like it was being stampeded by countless alpacas.
Her reawakened blue eyes met the other three pairs of eyes, and her heart sank.
Oh no, this "split personality" can't be explained!
