Chapter 1177: The Odorless Meichouni
Walking along the main road for about ten minutes, they turned a few more corners.
Not far ahead, they saw the hotel where they were staying.
Under the scorching sun, a flower shop on the side of the street, looking like a tranquil oasis, was particularly eye-catching.
Without even going inside, just looking at it from the outside made one feel refreshed.
Qiao Sang paused as she passed by and glanced inside, suddenly remembering that in the past, the villas where Xia Xia Lala lived were always specifically chosen by Master Teacher Mi Mi Jiala to have gardens, or they were the most distinctive and expensive local hotels; in those hotels, as long as the guests had requests, there was naturally no shortage of flowers and plants.
However, this time, having arrived a hundred years in the past, she couldn't reveal her identity, and since she was here on a mission, she could only find a hotel nearby at random.
Let alone flowers and plants, there wasn't even a dedicated butler.
"Let's buy some flowers you like to take back," Qiao Sang said to Xia Xia Lala, and stepped into the flower shop.
Xia Xia Lala was stunned for a moment, then happily followed.
Inside the flower shop, a pet beast about one meter tall, with a generally rose-red body, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, a neck surrounded by rose-red petals, and having a slender body and long limbs, was watering the flowers.
"Meimei~"
Seeing a customer walk in, it immediately put down the watering can, came to greet them, and called out enthusiastically.
Meitianhua... Qiao Sang saw the pet beast in front of her, remembered the Meitianhua she once knew, felt inexplicably close to it, gestured toward the direction of Xia Xia Lala and the others, and smiled:
"Ask them what they want."
Meitianhua looked over, immediately understood who the main customer was, came to the side of Xia Xia Lala, who looked like a Xianxianpu, and asked enthusiastically:
"Meimei?"
Xia Xia Lala began to seriously feel the surrounding flowers, either touching them or lowering its head to sniff them.
"Dingling~"
While picking, the wind chime at the door swayed and made a sound.
Immediately after, the sound of footsteps walking in followed.
Qiao Sang followed the sound and saw that the one who entered was a Meichouni.
Seeing Qingbao subconsciously covered its nose, then realized something, was stunned for a moment, and lowered its claws.
There was no foul odor on this Meichouni.
"Meimei."
Seeing a group of unfamiliar pet beasts and a human in the flower shop staring at it, the Meichouni didn't show any timidity, nodded slightly, and after greeting them, began to pick fresh flowers.
"Gangqiu."
Suddenly, Gangbao called out in her mind.
It was wearing a Naibianhua.
I saw it... Qiao Sang's gaze fell on the green flower worn on the Meichouni's head.
Naibianhua, a flower on the body of the Reililuoka, one of the ten endangered grass-type pet beasts of Yantian Star.
Green, with oval-shaped sepals densely covered with small white spots, it looked elegant, and at first glance, it didn't look much different from ordinary flowers and plants.
But as luck would have it, the Xia Xia Lala that Qiao Sang met a hundred years later wore a Naibianhua every day. Even if she wasn't that sensitive to the varieties of flowers and plants, she saw it every day, so she naturally recognized that the flower worn by the Meichouni in front of her was the same kind as the one worn by Xia Xia Lala.
If it was wearing a Naibianhua, then it might not necessarily be a Meichouni.
What's more, there was no foul odor on this Meichouni.
What kind of grass-type pet beast could get a Naibianhua from a Reililuoka... Various thoughts emerged in Qiao Sang's mind.
She had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to be sure.
Naibianhua only had the ability to allow grass-type pet beasts to turn into any plant or other grass-type pet beasts.
Back then, she attended the Tenth Seat's gathering; there were many rare pet beasts, but not many grass-type ones.
The only two she remembered were Reililuoka and Xia Xia Lala...
As thoughts flashed, the Meichouni looked over.
"Meimei?"
It made a confused expression and called out, indicating: Do you like the flower on my head very much? You've been staring at it.
"Gangqiu."
Gangbao translated in her mind.
It actually took the initiative to talk to me... Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, and she said two words:
"Like."
"Meimei."
The Meichouni took off the green flower on its head, handed it over, and called out, indicating: If you like it, I'll give it to you.
"Gangqiu."
Gangbao translated in her mind.
Could it be that I recognized it wrong? Seeing this, Qiao Sang suddenly became a bit uncertain.
If it really was a Naibianhua, how could the other party give it away so easily...
"Ya..."
As thoughts flashed, Like Ya Bao looked over and called out, indicating that this flower was the same as Xia...
Before it finished speaking, its mouth was covered by Xiaoxunbao.
"Super Xunxun~"
Xiaoxunbao called out.
You can't say it, Brother Like Ya Bao.
Like Ya Bao realized, and nodded.
"Super Xunxun~"
Xiaoxunbao let go of its claws, floated to the side of the Meichouni, looked at the flower in its hand with a surprised gaze, then took it, held it up, and called out to its own Beast Tamer.
This flower seems to be the same as the one on the Xianxianpu's head.
No change... Seeing that there was no change in the Meichouni, Qiao Sang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said:
"Give it back to others quickly, it should just be that the flowers look alike."
"Super Xunxun~"
Xiaoxunbao handed the flower back.
"Meimei?"
The Meichouni took it, put it back on its head, then took a pot of flowers and asked Meitianhua for the price.
"Meimei~"
Meitianhua turned to look over, reported the price, then walked to the checkout counter and pointed to the QR code.
Following its departure, Xia Xia Lala, who had been blocked by its body, appeared in the Meichouni's line of sight.
The Meichouni stared at the flower worn on Xia Xia Lala's head and was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, the flower in the flower pot in its hand swayed.
"Meimei?"
Meitianhua, standing at the checkout counter, called out.
"Meimei."
The Meichouni then came back to its senses and went to pay with the flower pot in its arms.
Xia Xia Lala stared at the Meichouni's back, feeling a bit dazed, not knowing what it was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked, coming to Xia Xia Lala's side.
Xia Xia Lala remembered that it couldn't speak outside, so it just shook its head.
After paying, the Meichouni didn't stay, but left the flower shop directly with the flower pot in its arms.
"Seeing Qingbao, you follow it and see, don't get discovered," Qiao Sang said in a low voice.
The Meichouni's reaction to seeing Xia Xia Lala just now was not right. Although it left the Naibianhua and its form didn't change at all, this was a hundred years ago, and it was exactly the time period when Xia Xia Lala and Li Ouya Si appeared in Men Prefecture.
There was only one week left until the Fire Meteor, and if she met Li Ouya Si on the day of the Fire Meteor, let alone getting the Lihuo Crystal, even getting close to it would be a problem.
This Meichouni without a foul odor was problematic no matter how she thought about it. She couldn't let go of any possibility of seeing Xia Xia Lala or Li Ouya Si from a hundred years ago in advance.
If this Meichouni really was the Xia Xia Lala of a hundred years ago, then it already possessed the ability to bring all things back to life, and its level was at least Venerable, if not Divine, so it would definitely be able to discover the invisible Xiaoxunbao.
After all, as long as the pet beast's level was high enough, discovering an invisible ghost-type pet beast was still an easy thing.
However, Seeing Qingbao, who could turn into wind, might not necessarily be discovered.
"Qingqing."
Seeing Qingbao called out and disappeared, turning into wind.
The next second, the sound of a "dingling" wind chime came from the door.
"You pick some more to see if there are any you like," Qiao Sang said to Xia Xia Lala with a smile.
Xia Xia Lala withdrew its gaze and nodded.
"Meimei~"
Meitianhua came to the side and continued to introduce them enthusiastically.
At the same time.
The Meichouni was shuttling through the streets with the flower pot in its arms.
A gust of wind followed behind, making the branches and leaves of the trees on the roadside rustle.
Passing through the streets and alleys, the Meichouni came to a dilapidated low building, took out a key, and opened the door on the first floor.
A house of several tens of meters, one bedroom and one living room, although dilapidated, had good lighting and was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants.
As soon as one entered, one could feel a refreshing fragrance.
The Meichouni closed the door.
A gust of wind blew in, and the flowers, plants, and curtains swayed slightly.
The Meichouni placed the flower pot in its hand by the window, then picked up the watering can on the ground and began to water the flowers.
The flower in the pot swayed, then turned into a pet beast with a generally dark green body, a circle of flower buds of different colors around its neck, blue eyes, and white eyelashes.
"Xia Xia."
It jumped out of the flower pot and called out.
"Meimei."
The Meichouni called out, then took the watering can to the kitchen and began to change the water.
A gust of wind blew out the window silently.
Almost the second the wind left, the Meichouni and Xia Xia Lala looked toward the window.
"Reili?"
The Meichouni made a confused expression and called out, its voice changed.
Why show yourself on purpose to be seen?
"Xia Xia..."
Xia Xia Lala looked out the window and murmured.
It just smelled the scent of its own kind.
"Reili?"
The Meichouni frowned and made a "how is that possible" expression.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Xia Lala withdrew its gaze and called out.
Wait, my kind should be looking for us.
The Meichouni didn't speak again, and walked toward the direction where Xia Xia Lala was with the watering can refilled with water.
At the same time, its body shape slowly changed, turning into a look with light green hair, and the leaves growing on its neck draped behind it like a cloak.
On the other side.
Xia Xia Lala was holding a large bouquet of fresh flowers of different varieties.
"Super Xunxun..."
Xiaoxunbao beside it was the same.
Qiao Sang also helped carry some.
Returning to the hotel, opening the door of the room, Xiaoxunbao put down the flowers for the first time, took off the ring, took out several vases from it, and helped put the flowers in.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Xia Lala adjusted the position of the fresh flowers in the vase, then showed an appreciative and satisfied expression.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala had already finished taking a bath and changed into a set of clothes.
"You're back," she said, coming to Xia Xia Lala's side and helping to hand over the remaining fresh flowers.
Loubao jumped out of the backpack.
Seeing Master Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's rather steady appearance at this moment, Qiao Sang inexplicably thought of what she looked like a hundred years ago.
She restrained her urge to laugh, came to Xia Xia Lala's side, deliberately squatted down, pretended to pick up the flowers on the ground, and actually showed her backpack.
However, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't look at the backpack; she admired the flowers while handing them to Xia Xia Lala, and asked casually:
"The flowers are nice, where did you buy them?"
Qiao Sang stood up helplessly and said:
"Just a flower shop nearby."
After speaking, she asked mysteriously:
"Guess who I saw when I went out this time?"
"Who?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked, cooperating.
"Penjiamei," Qiao Sang paused, then added: "And you."
Penjiamei looked over.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and said:
"I can't remember some specific things, but since we can see Jiubugu, I guess I happened to be here during this time period."
Qiao Sang coughed and said:
"I even had a conversation with you."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked over, asking with her eyes how they communicated.
Qiao Sang turned around, aimed her backpack at Master Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, and sighed:
"You thought I was your fan, so you gave me an autograph, which was quite a friendly exchange."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's expression suddenly froze.
She looked at the signature on the backpack, and with just one glance, she recognized it as her own handwriting.
Before Teacher Mi Mi Jiala could digest it, Qiao Sang added:
"You even took the initiative to take a photo with me."
Saying that, she took out her phone and opened the photo she had taken not long ago.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at the phone screen.
In the photo, she was wearing sunglasses, her head tilted slightly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly; it was clear that she had specifically chosen the angle and posture for the photo.
Inexplicably, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala felt a bit embarrassed; she could fully imagine what she looked like when signing and taking the photo.
A bit proud, but also showing that she was approachable.
One word: Pretending.
Taking a deep breath, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala forced herself to calm down, and she pretended to be calm and said:
"At this time, I should be about to participate in the Interstellar Cup, so it's normal to mistake you for a fan."
After speaking, she quickly changed the subject and said:
"I've thought about it, we still can't just wait for Li Ouya Si to appear without doing anything; we should go out and try to find it."
Qiao Sang was immediately successfully distracted and said seriously:
"Speaking of which, when I was buying flowers at the flower shop, I met a Meichouni without a foul odor, and it had a Naibianhua inserted on its head."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was stunned for a moment, frowned, and asked:
"You just let it go like that?"
"I let Seeing Qingbao follow it," Qiao Sang said, "But the Meichouni took off the Naibianhua on its own, but its form didn't change at all. I'm not sure if that Naibianhua is a fake."
When some pet beasts are famous enough, their exclusive items will also have a bunch of fakes appearing.
Hearing this, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala calmed down and asked:
"Are you suspecting that the Meichouni is Xia Xia Lala?"
Qiao Sang nodded and said:
"During this time period, it's possible for Xia Xia Lala to appear here, and it has a high possibility of possessing a Naibianhua."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and analyzed:
"If it's Xia Xia Lala, it should be able to feel Qingyun Qingyun Nainai following it. It is born with an affinity for grass and trees, and grass and trees can sense the wind."
Qiao Sang said in a deep voice: "In that case, if the other party really is Xia Xia Lala, wouldn't it have been discovered?"
"Super Xunxun~"
Xiaoxunbao waved its claws on the side and called out.
This kind of tracking should be left to it; it is best at tracking.
"Xia Xia?"
Xia Xia Lala listened to the conversation and began to ponder.
It can sense the wind?
"Xia Xia..."
Xia Xia Lala began to experiment while arranging flowers.
Suddenly, the fresh flowers in its claws swayed slightly.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Xia Lala was stunned at first, then turned its head and called out.
Seeing Qingbao seems to be back.
"Qingqing!"
As soon as the words fell, Seeing Qingbao appeared, showing an excited expression, and called out. ===== CHAPTER 1178 =====
