My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Chapter 175 Time and Pursuit

A day in the mountains is like a day in the human world. All living things have their own destiny. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao has an excellent memory and quickly found the familiar route and arrived at Yuefu.

Just as she was looking around and preparing to take off and enter Yuefu, she was tripped by a voice. "Hey! Who is it? Who called me?" Xiao Xiao looked around cautiously, and her transparent wings folded up instantly. She was nervous and ready to escape at any time.

"It's me! Little Miss!" a voice came from below.

"Huh?" Xiaoxiao looked up and down, left and right. There was not even a ghost in sight. "Come out! In broad daylight, you are acting like a ghost and scaring people. What kind of hero are you?" Xiaoxiao was also angry. The voice sounded so familiar. It took a while for her to remember where she had heard it. She just felt that she was being teased. She clenched her fists tightly.

"Ouch! My little lady! Don't you want to look down? How dare I scare you! Quick! Give me a hand and pull me out!" The voice below was a little louder.

"Wow! What the hell?" Xiaoxiao followed the sound and this time finally saw the true face of the culprit.

I saw a person stuck in a hidden corner, um... dog hole? "Who... who are you? How do you know my name?" Xiao Xiao asked stutteringly.

"It's me! Xiaopang! If you leave the valley, I will follow you out!" The stuck Xiaopang covered his face and said embarrassedly.

"Are you a pufferfish? You can change your shape? Oh my God!" Xiaoxiao asked excitedly, covering her mouth.

"Yes! It's me! Give me a hand, pull me out!" I wanted to scout the way for the young lady, but I didn't expect that I would die before I could accomplish my mission, and I was still waiting for her to rescue me. It was really embarrassing.

"Oh! Good! I'll come and save you!" Xiao Xiao was frightened by the human form of the fathead fish. For a moment, he even forgot to laugh at him. He hurried over and pulled him out of the hole.

"Huh! It's finally out! Hahaha... Little Miss~!" The bighead carp who saw the light of day again was so happy that he wanted to give Xiaoxiao a hug.

"Tell me!" Xiao Xiao held his big head against hers. "How did you get here? And how did you get stuck in the dog hole?" Xiao Xiao asked, her hands on her hips, standing with her legs akimbo. She looked like a big sister and interrogated him.

"Um... I was just afraid that you would be alone outside and encounter danger. So I followed you because I was worried!" The fathead fish muttered softly.

"Hmm~?" Xiaoxiao twisted his ear instead.

"Ouch! Ouch! I'll tell you! I'll tell you. I just transformed and wanted to go out for a walk. I happened to hear that you wanted to sneak out. So I followed you out of the valley. As for getting stuck in the hole, I really wanted to help you. I observed it for a long time and thought that we could get in through this hole. No one would know..."

"Shut up!" Xiaoxiao looked at the boastful bighead carp with disdain, her patience almost running out.

"Wuuuu... I'm telling the truth! Ohhhh..." The fathead fish pretended to be pitiful and tried to please.

"Alright! You thought of that? We are a family of elves. Going through a dog hole? You have a fish brain for nothing. Let's go! I'll take you flying!" Xiaoxiao was so angry that she couldn't do anything, but she couldn't really abandon him. Fortunately, she was familiar with the outside world. It was more than enough to take care of a burden. Besides, when she returned, she would face the punishment from grandpa. There would be one more person to take the blame. God really helped me! Hahaha... Xiaoxiao's little abacus in her mind was clattering.

"Hey~hey~hey! Get up! Huh~! You're so heavy! I can't lift you!" Xiaoxiao complained as she looked at the fat white ballfish in front of her.

"Well... I got it! Why don't you turn back into a fish? Otherwise, how can we get in?" Xiaoxiao came up with a good idea.

"Oh! All right then!" The fathead fish obediently turned into a fish. "Hurry up! My body is out of water and I can't hold on for long!" the fathead fish reminded.

"Hey~! Got it! I'll let you go if you climb over the wall!" Xiao Xiao lifted up his fish tail and spread his wings. He flew over the mansion wall lightly. As luck would have it, he landed in Zhao's yard.

"Aha! It still has to be me...ah!..." Big eyes stared at small eyes, fish eyes stared at dog eyes.

"Woof woof woof~!" The pet dog beast in Zhao's hand issued a harsh warning sound, which frightened the fathead fish in Xiaoxiao's hand and made it roll its eyes.

"Sit down!" Zhao ordered.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the bighead carp, and knelt down tremblingly. He looked like a good kid!

"Um... I told Inumon to sit down, not you!" Zhao explained, covering his face.

"Oh! All right then!" Xiaoxiao twisted her fishtail again and stood up carefully, staring at Zhao warily.

"You are an elf, right? My sister's friend? Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yue Zhao. I am Yue Yue's brother!" Zhao looked at the delicate person in front of him in a friendly manner and said gently.

"Ah~! It's you! Sister Yue's brother!? Why do you have a beard? I didn't recognize you! No wonder you looked so familiar!" Xiao Xiao confirmed that it was an acquaintance and there was no danger. He also let down his guard.

"Oh! Wait a minute!" She picked up the bighead carp and shook it vigorously. "Wake up! Wake up! You can see your family! There is no danger! Hey! There are shrimps to eat!" Xiao Xiao shouted loudly.

"Where is it? Where is the shrimp?" Hearing that there was something delicious, the fathead fish no longer felt dizzy and his breathing became smoother. He immediately changed into a human form and sniffed around.

"Hmph! In your dream! You were protecting me? But you fainted first! You are a thing that can't do anything good, but always causes trouble!" Xiaoxiao complained angrily.

Fathead fish knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to refute her. He could only lower his head silently and observe her expression.

"Hahaha..." Zhao looked at the lively elf in front of him. He just thought it was too cute and funny! "Um~ sorry!" Zhao said he couldn't help laughing. "Since you are my sister's friend, you are the distinguished guest of Yue Mansion. Please come in quickly. There is plenty of shrimp!" Zhao greeted them warmly. He also scolded the dog beast.

"Yeah! Uh..." Hearing that there was enough shrimp, the fathead fish wanted to cheer. But then he looked at Xiaoxiao's expression and still didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"Well! Since you've spoken, we won't be polite! Thank you!" Xiao Xiao squinted her crescent eyes and looked at Zhao. She said happily.

"You already called me brother, why are you still saying thank you? Huh?" Zhao pretended to be angry and corrected.

"Uh...right! Then everything will be arranged by my brother!" Xiao Xiao said without hesitation. She followed Zhao's steps without any hesitation. It was just like being at home.

Zhao looked at the bright and generous, natural elf with a satisfied smile. He then looked at the fathead fish that had turned back into a human form and let him be more casual.

The fathead fish, after getting the approval of the big sister, dared to eat without restraint. He had been living outdoors for several days without eating happily. He was really starving. He was concentrating on enjoying the food. He showed his first satisfied smile since he came to the outside world.

"I really don't understand what's so good about the outside world? It's not worth a young lady thinking about day and night. Anyway, this time, it was curiosity that killed the fish. Next time I'll kill him and never leave the lake. My own home is still better. I don't have to worry about food and drink!" The fathead fish complained in his heart.

This has to be said that everyone's pursuits are different, and their thinking is not at the same level. Beliefs, ties, and pursuits are all different. It is normal that they cannot understand each other. As the saying goes, if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?
