There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Chapter 240 Reuniting with an Old Friend

Bai Jie couldn't possibly hang a dream barrier over the entire town; that would take too much time.

So Bai Jie decided to transform into human form to buy some breakfast. It would only take a little while anyway, and she couldn't afford to run into anything else, could she?

Last time I encountered those people who captured Chenghuang. This area is relatively close to the Caiyun Mountains, so it should be mainly inhabited by divine beasts.

It is quite common for mythical beasts to live alongside humans in this world.

They can't go out in their original form directly, mainly because they are Pixiu, a mythical creature that everyone desires to bring wealth, so it's better not to make a big fuss about it.

"Mother—this looks so painful..."

Bai Cang shook his leg, trying to kick off the red silk thread on his leg.

His foot was tangled in a red silk thread.

If this person in front of him wasn't his own mother, he would have definitely bitten this thread in half. Of all the colors of thread, why did he have to use red? I even tried so hard last night!

"Oh dear~ I was just worried you'd run off somewhere~" Bai Jie chuckled softly.

Bai Zang looked at his mother speechlessly.

“I’m not a child anymore—” Hyakuzo said speechlessly.

Bai Jie raised her head and closed her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

"Don't children like being touched by others?" Bai Jie said with a smile.

Bai Zang choked, "Mother, how many children did you eat in one meal? Why are you such a disgusting beast?"

“Who says that just because you’re not a child you don’t like being touched by others!” Bai Zang retorted defiantly.

Bai Jie chuckled softly.

"Alright, I won't tie you up with the red thread." Bai Jie took back the red thread and put it into her spatial storage.

"But you have to promise me you won't run around after you go down there, okay?" Bai Jie said, pinching Bai Zang's nose.

Bai Zang stretched out his only four claws, "I swear!"

At the same time, both beasts transformed into human form.

"Mother, why are you taller than me after you changed?" Bai Zang asked, looking at Bai Jie, who was a head taller than him.

After Bai Zang's transformation, he becomes a tender 1.6-meter-tall child, while Bai Jie's transformation is her human form after coming into this world.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie shrugged and said, "Because I'm your mother~"

Both beasts transformed perfectly, without revealing any unique external features.

Except for not smelling like mud, it is no different from humans.

Bai Zang pursed his lips.

Forget it, let's not dwell on it...

The two walked towards the town.

Even in the early morning, many people in the town were already doing business.

There are many breakfast shops on the street.

For some reason, they attract a lot of attention.

Fortunately, there weren't many people, and those who got up early were mostly busy with their own things and didn't pay much attention to Bai Jie and her companion.

Bai Zang sucked on her fingers, "Mommy~ there are so many shops here, which one should we eat at?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie looked around and her eyes lit up.

That's the one!

Bai Jie used to love eating wontons!

Bai Jie and Bai Zang walked into a shop selling wontons.

"Boss, bring me two large bowls of fresh pork wontons, in soup, one with chili and one without," Bai Jie called out to the shop owner.

Bai Jie prefers dishes with soup to others.

"Okay~" Because it's a small town, the shopkeepers are quite simple and honest.

He had a smile on his face.

Before long, the shopkeeper brought two bowls of hot wontons to Bai Jie and Bai Zang.

Bai Cang looked at the wontons in front of him, and drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"So this is what they call wontons?" he thought to himself.

I remember before I came here, my mother made this dish on her birthday.

It's so delicious.

The next day, when she wanted to ask her mother what this was called, she was summoned by the mother of this world.

"Come and try it~" Bai Jie pushed the bowl of non-spicy wontons in front of Bai Zang.

Bai Cang nodded and then reached out to grab it.

The next second, 'snap!', the chopsticks tapped precisely and gently on his hand.

"Use a spoon," Bai Jie said helplessly.

"Oh, oh." Bai Zang isn't good with chopsticks, but he's quite skilled with a spoon.

He scooped up a wonton with a spoon and swallowed it.

After taking a bite, I felt that this food called 'wonton' tasted even better.

Let's get cooking!

Bai Jie smiled and gently stirred the chili peppers in the bowl, allowing the wontons to fully absorb the essence of the spiciness.

I scooped up a wonton and put it in my mouth.

Mmm~ This is the taste~ I haven't had it in so long.

Just as he was reminiscing about and enjoying the taste, a hand patted his shoulder.

"Bai Jie?" A voice sounded from behind.

"Hmm?" Bai Jie turned his head, and a familiar face appeared in his line of sight.

"Chen Ming?"

Bai Jie was a little surprised. Didn't Chen Ming say that his father's company had something to do and he was going to help out? How did she run into him here?

He felt a slight headache. What a coincidence!

"So it really is you. By the way, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Chen Ming skillfully ordered a bowl of wontons and sat down opposite Bai Jie Baizang.

Bai Cang only glanced at Chen Ming before continuing to eat his wontons.

"Who is this?" Chen Ming asked, somewhat unfamiliar with Bai Zang.

“Oh, my friend’s child,” Bai Jie said naturally.

Bai Zang paused in his eating of wontons, then glanced resentfully at his mother beside him.

Well, just because I had a meal, I became someone else's child, right? First, it was a match made in heaven, then it became my friend's child. The love has vanished, hasn't it?

"Go eat your food," Bai Jie said irritably.

This Bai Zang loves to overact. You can tell what he means just by looking at Bai Jie; isn't he just saying, "Why did he suddenly change mothers?"

"Oh—" Bai Cang responded and ate the last wonton in his bowl.

"Mother, I'm going out to play." With that, Baizang ran off in a flash.

"..."

Bai Jie's lips twitched. "You little brat, are you trying to mess with me like this? You'll be in for it when we get back."

"Mother?" Chen Ming looked at Bai Jie in surprise.

He looked at Bai Jie with a serious gaze for a long time.

"When...when did you go to that country for a sex change?" Chen Ming teased.

"...Hehe—" Bai Jie rolled her eyes, letting Chen Ming figure it out for himself.

"Haha~ I've been trying to contact you on QQ for days and you haven't replied. I thought you'd gone home. I didn't expect you to come all this way to have fun," Chen Ming said with a laugh.

He certainly couldn't possibly believe that Bai Zang was Bai Jie's mother; they looked like they were of different genders, didn't they?

The statement just now was just a joke between Dangdang and her good friend.

"Yes, let's come here and have some fun." Bai Jie nodded without denying it.

"Would you like me to show you around here? I'm quite familiar with this area."

Upon hearing Chen Ming's self-recommendation, Bai Jie shook her head: "Never mind, I'm leaving soon."

He ate the last wonton in his bowl.
