Chapter 336: The Relationship Between Mouth and Tongue
The Relationship Between Mouth and Tongue
Besides the authority, divine nature, and antler crown, there were some strange things in the rewards.
Cheng Shi spent a long time organizing his warehouse and hung the "Rainforest Tribe Hero Medal" on the wall behind the shelf.
He originally thought an A-rank item had to be something very useful, but he was wrong, because this rating was only to highlight the material of the medal; it was ground from the bones of the Rainforest Royal Battle Bear.
This was just an ordinary medal with no divine power, intended to commemorate those who had contributed to the Rainforest Tribe.
There was a limit to trial settlement rewards, and the authority and antler crown almost filled the reward quota, so Xiang Honglin could only pick and choose in His treasury and finally picked this thing and threw it to Cheng Shi.
To put it nicely, it was to commemorate his salvation of the Mushroom Foot People; to put it bluntly, it was just to make up the numbers.
But besides taking up some space in the warehouse, this thing was indeed useless.
"But having said that, these Royal Battle Bear bones... can they be eaten?" Cheng Shi scratched his head looking at the medal on the wall, and after struggling for a long time, he gave up the idea.
Forget it, let's eat something people eat; can't wrong Brother Mouth.
Another thank-you letter was even more abstract: it was a leaf, but there were many words written with root hairs on the leaf. Cheng Shi knew nothing about the civilization of the Mushroom Foot People, so out of curiosity, he had to invite Brother Mouth out.
The Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi pondered for a moment and began today's recitation:
"·To the great daughter of 【Prosperity】, Lady Fulazhuo:
No words can record our gratitude and piety. As the sinful people of 【Prosperity】, having the opportunity to return to His embrace is the luck of our tribe's lifetime.
To express our gratitude to you, I am willing to share the greatest secret our tribe has ever recorded. Please be informed:
Mycorrhizal entanglement of more than three circles can effectively prevent side falls during standing mating and increase the fertility rate."
?????
Listening, Cheng Shi fell.
He stumbled and fell directly to the ground, touching his shoulder that had hit the ground hard, and sighed helplessly:
"Brother Mouth, next time you adapt, can you adapt something unimportant? I was waiting for the secret, and you told me this?"
"·The secret is also made up.
Their gratitude was too pale, so I polished it for them."
"..."
Then you are still quite honest!
Cheng Shi's expression turned strange for a moment, then he took the tongue out of the space and placed it beside his face.
"Brother Mouth, do you dare to say it again?"
"·The secret is also made up."
pia—
The Tongue of Lying Food slapped Cheng Shi in the face.
He immediately regained his spirit, grabbing the tongue and laughing uncontrollably:
"You're lying! Brother Tongue told me you lied. They have a secret; what is the secret?"
"·Ah, yes, yes, yes."
As soon as the words fell, the Tongue of Lying Food hit Cheng Shi's face again.
pia—
This time, Cheng Shi's smile was slapped away. He suddenly realized that, regardless of whether the Tongue of Lying Food could distinguish whether the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi were lying, even if it could, it was slapping him.
Why should he be slapped for Brother Mouth's lies?
How could there be such bullying!?
You guys aren't acting against me, are you?
His gaze fixed, he looked at the tongue in his hand. The tongue turned over in his hand and complained boredly:
"How did you parasitize a fool?"
"..."
Cheng Shi blinked in confusion, then suddenly realized that this fool was talking about him. He threw the tongue to the ground and was about to curse back when he heard his mouth speak first:
"·You're right."
"..."
Cheng Shi's eyes went dark. He wanted to open his mouth again, but the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi spoke before him:
"·Just say whether you're full or not."
The Tongue of Lying Food twisted twice on the ground and said lazily:
"I can also be full with the little girl."
Wait!
Little girl?
That Puppet Master!?
Could it be that she is better at lying than me?!
Impossible!
But who exactly is she!?
Cheng Shi was shocked. He just wanted to open his mouth to ask when he heard the Tongue of Lying Food continue: "But continuing to follow her is easy to burst; it's better to have your good eye, at least there is some truth in this fool's mouth."
"..."
Good, good, good, you two are chatting happily with 'fool' one after another, right? Fine, if you guys play like this, don't blame me for using means.
Cheng Shi saw his face darken as he picked up the tongue from the ground, then activated the talent of the Tongue of Lying Food to circle himself, asking and answering himself:
"Have I lied to anyone? No."
"·..."
"..."
The Tongue of Lying Food gave a start and slapped Cheng Shi in the face. Cheng Shi sneered and didn't even dodge, following up with another sentence:
"Have I lied to anyone? No."
"..."
Due to the restrictions of the rules, the Tongue of Lying Food slapped his face again, but by this time the tongue was already starting to feel wrong.
Sure enough, Cheng Shi didn't hesitate at all, starting his repeater operation sentence after sentence, and every time he finished a sentence, he used the tongue to circle himself again. After dozens of times, his face was swollen high, but looking at the tongue that slapped his face, it was already lying on the ground motionless.
"Can't eat anymore, hiccup—, going to die, hiccup—, going to burst, hiccup—"
"Begging for mercy? Heh, have I lied to..."
This time, before the words fell, the tongue shook violently and made a retching sound.
"Ugh—"
"..."
Too damn strange, a tongue that can vomit.
Cheng Shi looked at the tongue that couldn't vomit and sneered:
"Who exactly was your original owner?"
The tongue retched painfully for a long time and had to succumb to Cheng Shi's tricks, tearfully saying a name.
"Zhen Xin, her name is Zhen Xin!"
!!!???
Ah?
Cheng Shi was numb. He never expected that the Puppet Master was actually disguised by Zhen Xin.
But those puppet control threads clearly didn't look fake. Could she be a victim with lies like yesterday?
Just as Cheng Shi was confused, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, who had been watching the play for a long time, spoke again: "·It lied to you."
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened.
"Who lied to me? Brother Mouth, do you still want to lie to me?"
"·I never lie."
That's me! Not you!
Cheng Shi touched his swollen and painful cheek and suddenly changed the subject: "What is your relationship with this tongue?"
"·No relationship."
"Good, good, good, no relationship, right? Since there's no relationship, then flush it down the toilet!"
"·..."
Saying this, Cheng Shi picked up the tongue that couldn't resist and raised his foot to walk towards the restroom behind the warehouse. However, just as he walked halfway, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi compromised.
"·There is a relationship."
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking: It's here, finally got it out!
"What relationship?"
"·The relationship of lips and teeth."
"?" Cheng Shi frowned, "What do you mean?"
"·Without me, the tongue will be cold."
"..."
Are you giving me an idiom lesson here!
Cheng Shi's face stiffened, and he accelerated his pace, but no matter how fast he walked, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi didn't react. Seeing Brother Mouth motionless and explaining nothing, Cheng Shi's mouth twitched and he stopped his steps.
"·Aren't you going to flush it down the toilet?"
"..." The tongue was still retching and couldn't reply.
Cheng Shi, with a dark face, said hatefully: "The toilet is clogged, can't flush!"
Why should I flush the tongue I finally snatched back down the toilet?
So angry, it's fine that I was slapped swollen by a tongue, but I was also mocked by a broken mouth. My life is so bitter!
But absolutely cannot admit defeat here. Cheng Shi took out a potion to reduce the swelling on his cheek, then gritted his teeth and said stubbornly:
"Forget it if you don't say it, I'll know sooner or later."
He walked to the edge of the roof and sat down, starting to think about whether the Puppet Master was Zhen Xin. Just then, Xie Yang next door poked his head out from the edge of the opposite roof and asked curiously:
"Buddy, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so wilted?"
Cheng Shi paused and blurted out:
"·The toilet is clogged, ate too much."
?????
Cheng Shi was stupid. He never thought that taking things out of context and grafting could be used like this.
Xie Yang was also stupid. He looked at his neighbor's cheeks, which were still slightly bulging, and thought of the direction he came from, which was indeed behind the warehouse and not the main entrance of the warehouse, so he froze and said a little fearfully:
"... Ha, your hobby is quite special... that, I have something to do, I'll go first."
"..."
Seeing Xie Yang running fast, Cheng Shi felt that his "Necromancer" quirk would only get more and more.
So be it, having watched so many jokes on the opposite side, I have to be watched back. Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone.
Just take it as an offering to the God of Fun...
Thinking this way, it felt much better. ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
