“It’s more likely to lead to mistakes!” The divine bull, Shenniu, is truly a divine bull, and when it drops its dung, it never misses. “Oh, poor thing, flying back and forth these past few days has been all in vain.”
“Sorry… I forgot such an important thing…”
In this mixed group of humans and beasts, Zhu Zhu always plays the role of the apologetic one.
“It doesn’t matter, Zhu Zhu, don’t mind what they say, they just like to make trouble.” Xuan Ben glared at Shenniu. “Let’s keep going, find a place to rest. You must be tired these days, find somewhere comfortable where everyone can stretch out.”
Touched by Xuan Ben’s kind words, Zhu Zhu’s eyes welled up with tears. “Okay!”
“Oh, it’s time to stop, this cramped space really gives you backaches after a while.” Shenniu sighed in a mournful tone. “Especially when I’m always ridden by those unkind humans, should this count as an occupational hazard?”
“Hey, you’re taking up the biggest spot in the airship!” Xu Xianen stood up with vigor, his right foot stomping hard on Shenniu.
“Ah—” Shenniu let out a sharp cry.
Shenniu hadn’t expected the woman, who usually just grumbled at it, to actually be so ruthless, stomping on its… tail with such cruelty. The pain drove it mad, and it flipped over, its twelve legs flailing wildly, snorting out air from its nostrils, almost causing the entire airship to disintegrate.
Because of its madness, the previously sleeping Zhuzhu was also startled awake, screaming in terror as it opened its beak, “Zhuzhu—”
The piercing cry echoed across the vast wilderness.
“Stop it quickly, or we’ll all fall!” Zhu Zhu was the first to shout.
“How am I supposed to stop it? It’s lost its mind!” The only thing Xuan Ben could do, and did immediately, was to protect Xu Xianen.
“Zhuzhu—” The strange bird also scurried for cover.
“Ah—” Shenniu’s cry had turned into a roar, it kept jumping, its twelve legs now weapons capable of harm.
“Hey, I’m sorry, can you calm down a bit?” Xu Xianen tried to extricate himself from Xuan Ben’s embrace.
“What are you doing?!” He shouted sternly.
