Chapter 154
Big Tree stared deeply at Su Gou, the complicated emotion in his eyes impossible to decipher.
Su Gou could not abandon that silly Sunflower, so he steeled himself and asked, “Do you think I’m good enough?”
Big Tree glanced at him again. “Pretty good.”
Su Gou: “…”
For a moment, the atmosphere grew rather awkward.
Before, Yun Youyou had only suspected it. Now she was certain the person hidden inside the mascot costume was Su Gou.
She cleared her throat and volunteered, “Godfather, I think he’s pretty good.”
The moment Yun Youyou spoke, Su Gou and Big Tree were equally shocked.
“What happened? Precious daughter, how can you suddenly talk?”
Yun Youyou felt a little guilty for deceiving Big Tree.
“I’m not actually intellectually challenged. I just couldn’t speak before, but now I can.”
Big Tree was not angry about being deceived at all. Instead, he gazed lovingly at Yun Youyou and said in an indulgent voice, “How could my precious daughter possibly be intellectually challenged? You’re not stupid at all, baby. Now that you can talk, you’re even smarter.”
His expression and tone clearly said, I know you’re stupid, but I’m too considerate to mention it.
Yun Youyou: …Just how intellectually challenged do I look?
She opened her mouth to explain again. “I really…”
But after seeing the fatherly love in Big Tree’s eyes, Yun Youyou finally gave up.
“Fine. I suppose I am a little stupid.”
Big Tree’s smile grew even wider.
He stroked Yun Youyou’s head.
“It’s all right. You’re not stupid at all. You’re just a little… not smart.”
Yun Youyou: “…”
“But since you like him, he can go chat and take a walk with you. I won’t interfere in matters between you young people.”
Big Tree was unexpectedly easygoing.
Even Su Gou had not expected everything to go so smoothly.
He was about to retrieve his Sunflower when he suddenly remembered the two men behind him.
Lu Shenlin anxiously poked him in the back, signaling for Su Gou not to forget them.
Su Gou paused. With no other choice, he forced himself to speak, his ears turning red.
“Um… I have two brothers with me. They like Sunflowers too.”
Yun Youyou did not think much of it.
“Oh. Then call them over. It’s livelier with more people.”
Every plant spirit present was stunned.
Even Big Tree was shaken by his goddaughter’s scandalous declaration.
“Precious daughter, I never imagined you would have such ambitions.”
Yun Youyou remained perfectly calm. “They’re only three male spirits.”
All Big Tree could say was, “Good, good, good. Whatever makes you happy. If male spirits can have three wives and four concubines, then my daughter deserves a harem of three thousand.”
Su Gou stiffly led the other two over to Yun Youyou.
Before leaving, Yun Youyou turned to Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy. “You two come along as well.”
All the plant spirits watched as a plump Sunflower swaggered away with five male spirits in tow.
Were young spirits these days really that adventurous?
Yun Youyou had just dropped an atomic bomb on their tiny plant world.
Big Tree stood in place and pondered for a moment.
It seemed his thinking had been too limited.
He should never have held some husband-selection convention. Why not simply round up all the male spirits at once?
Mature plants did not need to choose. They took everything.
Big Tree’s mind opened to a whole new world.
He looked down at the bizarre assortment of spirits and announced in a deep voice, “All of you have been selected. From here on, you’ll compete on your own merits.”
The plant spirits erupted with excitement.
Not far away, Yun Youyou had never expected her wonderful godfather to select every last one of them for her.
Your girl had a harem now!
Of course, Yun Youyou was a respectable person.
And what respectable person would lose herself over a few pretty male faces?
The three plants and three humans found a quiet corner.
Su Gou looked at the Sunflower in front of him.
“You’ve suffered. Come back with me. I promise I’ll never make you do homework again.”
He had always assumed the Sunflower ran away because he had made it do homework.
Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy both stared at him with question marks practically floating over their heads.
Sister Yun was easily two or three times rounder than when she left. How had he reached the conclusion that she was suffering?
Lu Shenlin and Lin Haomiao were grumbling inwardly too.
So Brother Su was the sick monster who made plants do homework!
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts.
Yun Youyou blinked.
“Don’t you recognize me?”
Su Gou frowned. Even after studying her for a long while, he could not figure out who Yun Youyou was.
“You are…”
Yun Youyou said, “I’m actually Snow White. An evil prince stole my seven handsome little men. If you give me a poisoned apple, I can poison the prince and take back all seven of them. Once it’s done, I’ll introduce you to Cinderella.”
Su Gou: “…”
That familiar bizarre tone. That utterly illogical nonsense.
A figure immediately surfaced in Su Gou’s mind.
No, more accurately, a ghostly figure.
He carefully examined the Sunflower in front of him again.
“You’re actually an NPC from the Game? And why have you turned into a Sunflower?”
Yun Youyou spread her leaves. “After my seven little men were stolen, I woke from a nap to discover I’d been reborn. This time, I will transform into the God of War Sunflower and fight to the death to reclaim everything that belongs to me.”
Su Gou rubbed between his brows, his voice tinged with helplessness.
“Talk normally.”
Yun Youyou said, “What? Am I still not civilized enough for you?”
Su Gou: “…”
He was starting to miss the days when she could not speak.
Lu Shenlin and Lin Haomiao had not expected Su Gou to know an NPC from the Game.
Of course, neither had they expected an NPC from the Game to have this kind of personality.
Lu Shenlin was the bolder of the two and voiced exactly what he was thinking.
He stared at Yun Youyou in shock. “I thought all NPCs in the Game were bloodthirsty, vicious, and brutal. You really don’t seem like one.”
Yun Youyou glanced at him, looking deeply troubled.
“Would you rather I stared at you with scarlet eyes and said, ‘Man, don’t even think about escaping the palm of my hand’?”
Lu Shenlin struggled for a long time before finally managing, “No, thanks.”
Yun Youyou remained lost in thought, muttering, “It seems I need to change my image as a ghost.”
The moment she said that, Su Gou, Red-haired Trendy Guy, and the others all panicked.
Her current image was already abnormal enough. If she changed it any further, she would become even harder to handle.
Shamate hurriedly said, “Sister Yun, your image is already perfect. If it gets any better, I’m afraid I’ll only be worthy of looking up at your heels.”
Yun Youyou stroked her chin with a leaf.
“Really?”
Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “Of course!”
The two ghosts showered Yun Youyou with another round of extravagant flattery.
