Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 124 The Educated Weasel
The faint words drifted through the Soul Cleansing Forest, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Damn it, you look like a dick to me!"
Cao Shao cursed outright. In this dungeon, he had first been mocked by Mi Yuan, and then hacked at by the crazed Mi Yuan, leaving him with a belly full of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent.
So, upon hearing this inexplicable question, naturally, he had no kind words.
The black shadow seemed to stiffen slightly upon hearing Cao Shao's words.
Then, it stepped out of the shadows, revealing itself to be a yellow weasel almost as tall as an adult!
The weasel stood there, hands clasped in front of it, its pair of cold, blue eyes staring at Cao Shao with venom, a human-like sneer on its face.
"Holy crap! How is that yellow weasel so big!"
Cao Shao was startled and immediately drew his knife, his eyes fixed on the yellow weasel.

"Seeking Bestowal? The legends of yellow weasels seeking bestowal are true!" Wu Chengfu said in surprise.
"Chengfu, what does 'seeking bestowal' mean?" Qin Qianxue asked.
Wu Chengfu explained.
"It's said that when yellow weasels cultivate to a certain level, they will seek bestowal from humans."
"This seeking bestowal is very particular. If you answer that it looks like a man, all the cultivation it has accumulated over the years will be wasted, and it will try to kill you in revenge before it dies."
"If you answer that it looks like a god, then you're really in trouble. It will pester you to worship it, and slowly your descendants will become its slaves. That's how family immortals come to be."
"Either way, you're screwed. The best way is not to answer it, pretend you didn't hear anything."
Cao Shao's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he listened.
"Then... what will happen since I said it looks like a dick?"
Wu Chengfu's expression was a little strange.
"I'm not sure, but it probably won't let you off the hook. Yellow weasels are the most vengeful."
Mi Yuan glared at Cao Shao coldly.
"The system even warned us not to answer questions randomly. If you can't shut your trap, I'll sew it shut for you."
Cao Shao's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to talk back.
He just silently cursed Mi Yuan in his heart again.
"Stop arguing. It's not like we can't even beat a yellow weasel." Qin Qianxue prepared for battle.
The next second, the yellow weasel, standing upright, pounced on Cao Shao.
Cao Shao also went berserk.
"Damn it, am I, a grown man, afraid of a beast like you?"
Cao Shao's knife came down on the yellow weasel, but the yellow weasel twisted slightly and dodged it.
Its sharp claws reached out towards Cao Shao's chest, ready to rip his heart out.
Cao Shao was horrified and slashed at the yellow weasel's head with his knife.
But the yellow weasel opened its long mouth, filled with fangs, and snapped its jaws shut on the blade of Cao Shao's knife.
Then, its claws continued to reach forward!
In a panic, Cao Shao had no choice but to drop the knife in his hand. His chest already had several bloody scratches.
"Damn it, how is this beast so fierce!"
Cao Shao's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
If he hadn't abandoned the knife decisively just now, he might already be a corpse.
"There's the sound of fighting!"
Qiao Yu, not far away, naturally heard the commotion as well. Fighting in the Soul Cleansing Forest most likely meant it was Qin Qianxue and the others.
After letting the scarecrow he controlled hide in the dark, he hurried over.
As soon as Qiao Yu arrived, he saw the yellow weasel attacking Cao Shao. He wasn't in a hurry to go up; Cao Shao's life or death had nothing to do with him. He could just watch the show.
Qin Qianxue was about to go help, but the yellow weasel flicked its tail, and a yellow gas quickly covered Qin Qianxue's face.
Qin Qianxue froze in place like a puppet.
"Be careful! That's the yellow weasel's fart; it can muddle your mind!" Wu Chengfu shouted a warning.
Just as Qin Qianxue was about to meet her demise, the yellow weasel actually ignored Qin Qianxue completely and continued to pounce on Cao Shao.
The yellow weasel's grudge-holding was evident.
"Damn it!"
Cao Shao could only flee in a panic, his combat power greatly reduced after losing his knife.
The yellow weasel pursued him relentlessly, and he could even smell the stench in the yellow weasel's mouth.
Cao Shao was quickly forced into a dead end, and the yellow weasel's claws pierced towards his chest.
The sharp claws pierced like a blade. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Cao Shao could only cry out for help.
"Save me!"
"Pfft!"
At the critical moment, a flash of sword light cut off one of the yellow weasel's claws, and stinky blood sprayed all over Cao Shao's face like it was free.
Mi Yuan, wielding a broadsword, had a cold expression. Clearly, this strike was her masterpiece.
The yellow weasel screamed and retreated, clutching its broken claw. Wu Chengfu seized the opportunity, and his katana left several more wounds on the yellow weasel's body.
Qiao Yu had been watching with great interest, but then he realized that the yellow weasel was actually charging towards him!
The yellow weasel stopped directly in front of Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu could even smell the stench on the yellow weasel.
Cao Shao and the others, who hadn't noticed Qiao Yu before, also spotted him.
"You're not dead yet?" Mi Yuan revealed a hint of surprise.
"Don't be too happy yet. The system also said to be careful of teammates who leave everyone's sight," Wu Chengfu said.
"That's right, this kid has probably been watching from the sidelines for a long time!" Cao Shao also said venomously.
Qiao Yu didn't have time to pay attention to Cao Shao and the others, because the yellow weasel had already bowed slightly to him, its stinky blood splattering on the ground.
"Old friend, do you think I look more like a man, or a god?"
The yellow weasel's faint, resentful eyes were full of venom. As long as it succeeded in seeking bestowal, its strength would immediately increase greatly.
At that time, it would kill all these humans for revenge. It had been in the Soul Cleansing Rainforest for so long, and when had it ever suffered such a great loss?
The yellow weasel endured the pain of its broken claw and stared at Qiao Yu. This young man was its hope for a comeback!
As long as this young man said that it looked like a god, it would be able to successfully seek bestowal!
Under the yellow weasel's expectant gaze, Qiao Yu, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke.
"sorry, ican'tunderstandwhatyousaid."
(I'm sorry, I can't understand what you're saying)
"Canyouspeakenglish?"
(Can you speak English?)
The yellow weasel was also silent, then it spoke with a standard, fluent London accent.
"yes,ican,youngman.doyouthinkilooklikeamanoragod?"
(Yes, I can, young man. Do you think I look like a man or a god?)
