Till didn't have much to worry about. In fact, her own situation was much better than that of Yulaika who couldn't even speak at the beginning.
Tier, who woke up from a deep sleep, had no intention of getting to the bottom of where she came from. Even if she had to accept the sudden change in the status quo, her affection for Xue Chu was maximized from the beginning.
…This is certainly not normal.
Or to put it more seriously, Till has been a conspiracy since he was sent here.
...It's just that for Xue Chu, who had already prepared for the best and the worst, there was really no need to mention it again.
"Sister--" Tier, who ran over from the snow, shook her ears. She seemed to naturally prefer some inconspicuous but cold things, like strange-shaped stones, or things buried in the snow. In the deepest dust.
Xuechu's expression became unspeakable.
The big demon looked at the beautiful little girl whose face was covered with mud, and then looked at the strange wooden board in her hand that looked like it had just been dug out of the ground. The corner of his mouth twitched, "...this? Give it to me?"
Xue Chu's tone was difficult, and he was just about to give up a reason at random, when he first met those watery blue eyes.
Xuechu: "..."
"Brother Yinxi said that brother Rongxu, who often follows his sister, would like this very much." The big green cat blinked, and its expression at this time was infinitely closer to that of a hunter returning from digging for treasure, "But …”
"but?"
"But I think this board is very strange." Till paused, took out the handkerchief Xi Ning prepared, raised the board, wiped the dirt on it, and then handed it to Xue Chu, "There is a strange feeling on it. .”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xue Chu also became interested, "A strange feeling?"
She held the piece of wood in her palm, not having any doubts about Tier's words. She stared at it for a moment before injecting her own demonic power into it.
The demonic power that transcends this plane does not match the rules here, but it is precisely because of the mismatch that they face each other like needlepoints that unexpectedly meet - and finally surrender completely to the stronger one.
"...Hey, the board is cracked?"
Looking at the golden dark lines revealed from the rough parts, Till's strong premonition became more obvious, "This seems to be..."
"It's the Wrath Gold Stone," Xue Chu, who quickly got the answer from the system interface, straightened her expression, gradually moved up from the stripped part, and finally met the eyes of Tier, who was trying to raise his head to see clearly.
"I see……"
Xue Chu looked at the detailed description of this kind of gem in the system, and gradually began to have concerns in his heart.
——It is indeed precious, and it is indeed so rare that even the written description is not clear, but in the system's small print mark, this is a companion gem that the White Tiger clan has guarded for generations.
How could it appear in such a chaotic and remote mountain forest?
Xue Chu chuckled, glanced meaningfully at Tier who knew nothing, casually shook away the floating rubble on the wrathful gold stone, and put it directly into the little girl's arms.
"This is indeed a good thing. Till can take it and play with it."
After speaking, he ruffled Tier's smooth and smooth hair, and pointed at Yinxi who came over after hearing the noise, "Follow Yinxi and don't run around these days."
"If you find anything else...just give it to him. He will know what to do."
After being instructed, Tier didn't realize the importance of the matter, so he just nodded in understanding. Looking at Xue Chu's eyes that had closed again, he stood there for a while and then turned around and left.
There was silence.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared into the sight of the snow that Xuechu, who was not asleep, opened her eyes again.
"Come out," she repeated again, looking at the dark corner, "How long are you going to hide?"
"Xuechu..."
A corner of the cloak hidden in the darkness was exposed, and it moved half a meter and a half meters out at an extremely slow speed.
"?" Xue Chu was stunned for a moment, then stared at the other person's stretched out leg, and the expression on his face became hesitant, "What did you do to yourself again?"
After hearing this, Rong Xu finally moved half of his head out from behind the wall, "As expected of Xue Chu——"
"Stop it," Xuechu waved his hand, looked at Rong Xu from top to bottom, and said calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"..."
"...related to Till?"
Not having any expectations of what Rong Xu could do, Xue Chu clicked on the system page to check first and confirmed that there were three cubs left before continuing to ask: "What did you do?"
"..." Silence again.
After a moment, Rong Xu fell to Xuechu's side like he was floating, with a deep tone, unable to hide his guilt, "That stone in Tier's hand... I seem to have eaten three pieces?"
Sure enough, there are still three pieces left...
Wait - three pieces eaten?
Xue Chu frowned, then calmly looked at the humanoid creature standing in front of him again, and said slowly: "You said... how did you eat it?"
"Like Yulaika?" Rong Xu paused, recalling with some distress the three pieces he dug out before Tier came, and explained sincerely: "It's a bit bitter, not very delicious."
"..."
"That's not what I'm asking," Xue Chu was silent, and finally couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "I mean, why are you eating this?"
"There is a very strange power in it, like...the origin."
Rong Xu stared at her obediently, his guilty feeling reduced by half, and repeated dryly, "But it tastes terrible."
"..."
Xuechu couldn't help but open his eyes wide, as if looking at a stupid but sincere fool, and finally felt speechless.
She was no stranger to the power Rong Xu mentioned. She had even had contact with it when she opened the gravel from the outside world, and could clearly feel the plane laws on it.
From this point of view, the Furious Gold Stone is more like a tool to store this power.
It's just...it doesn't seem like you need to chew the outer shell to access the energy inside?
"Xuechu, those things..."
"Those things should have been buried by the person who sent Tier here, probably for her to find... As for you," Xue Chu casually raised her fingers at him, and when the other party came over with a happy face, He suddenly grabbed his ears and exerted downward force.
"Xuechu...?" Rong Xu was in pain, but didn't want to hide. He could only move up in a twisted posture, trying to meet her eyes, "Did I say something wrong again?"
"..."
"No, you didn't," Xue Chu held his head and knocked it down, and wrote lightly: "You just triggered a little thinking in me."
Just like...
Does she have to find what she wants from this person?
