Chapter 1045 The Dedicated Fungus Man

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao chuckled and agreed to the monsters' request.

He looked ahead and walked at a leisurely pace.

There was a familiar scent in the air.

It's the aroma of cake.

Several monsters began to stir.

Xiao Xiao found it somewhat amusing.

To be honest, although he has become accustomed to the monster's love for sweets, he still can't help the curve of his lips sometimes.

After all, it's a hobby that's a bit inconsistent with a monster's identity but very cute, isn't it?

Xiao Xiao, who was about to speed up his pace, inexplicably slowed down his pace.

"Woo~"

Taotie stretched out his claws and pulled Xiao Xiao's hair.

A face full of dissatisfaction.

what happened?

It wants to eat cake!
Xiao Xiao ignored the noise made by the monster above his head.

He stopped and looked towards a ramen restaurant in front of him.

The shop has a glass exterior, so you can see the diners dining inside.

Especially the guests facing the window can see it clearly.

Including everything on the long dining table.

"Fungus man?"

Xiao Xiao muttered to himself.

A young man is putting chili powder in his noodles.

He didn't see it.

Right next to his bowl of noodles, a little monster was trying to climb into his bowl.

However, the ramen bowl is huge.

The bowl wall is very smooth and there is no point of support at all.

Xiao Xiao watched as the fungus man once again pounced on the bowl of noodles and clung to the wall of the bowl like a gecko.

Then, as expected, even though the little monster's face turned red and he tried his best, he still slid down the bowl again.

The fungus man lay face down on the table.

He looked quite shocked.

But soon, it struggled to stand up again.

The repeated failures almost exhausted its strength.

The next second, Xiao Xiao was stunned.

The frustration flashed across the face of the fungus man, and what remained was full of fighting spirit.

There was a gleam in his wide-open eyes.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth.

But before the smile spread to his eyes, the upward curve of his mouth corners paused.

He saw that the little monster raised its head high with an expression of extreme horror.

Her drooping eyebrows looked as if she was about to cry.

what happened?
Xiao Xiao turned his gaze and the scene he saw made him understand.

The young man was holding a piece of shiitake mushroom between his chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.

This must be the companion mushroom of this fungus man.

However, it had already been cooked, so whether it had been eaten or not, it was impossible for it to get the mushroom back.

This mushroom is already "dead".

Xiao Xiao looked at the fungus man again.

But I found that it pounced on the noodle bowl again.

With a bit of determination.

"."

"This idiot."

"welcome."

Xiao Xiao quickly walked to the side of the man he had just seen.

Fortunately, it's past lunch time now.

So the store was pretty empty.

The seats next to the man were also empty.

Xiao Xiao sat down on the man’s left, in the direction where the fungus man was.

He casually ordered a bowl of noodles. After the waiter took the menu down, he pretended to look down at his phone, but his peripheral vision was always on the rather "heroic" fungus man.

The fungus man pounced on the noodle bowl again and again.

He could even hear the "bang bang bang" sounds.

However, the momentum is good.

The result was not quite as expected.

Xiao Xiao held his forehead with his hand.

It was obvious that the mushroom man should have given up when this mushroom was picked.

Why are you so persistent?

Thinking of the mushroom man in his yard, Xiao Xiao thought that the mushrooms he chose at the beginning probably had a special and important meaning to the mushroom man.

So I couldn't give up easily. So I followed him all the way here.

However, the persistence of the mushroom man at home still makes some sense, but doesn’t this monster understand what it means when the mushrooms are cooked?

What’s the use of such mushrooms even if it is brought back?

Besides, it's pretty weak, right?
After all, it lost half of its body to the mushroom.

The man was totally oblivious to the attention that people around him were paying him.

Because he was hungry, he ate very attentively and quickly.

He reached out and picked up the bowl of noodles.

He wants some noodle soup.

The sudden rise of the bowl of noodles startled the fungus man lying on the wall of the bowl.

It was motionless.

However, his body still slowly slid down as the bowl tilted.

Its eyes opened wider and wider, and panic gradually seeped into its confused look.

Its mouth opened involuntarily.

I wanted to scream, but found that the sound was stuck in my throat and couldn't come out at all.

When its hand separated from the bowl wall, the only thought in its mind was - it's over.

It feels terrible to fall from the sky.

It waits for the pain to hit.

The next second, I found myself "landing" safely? !
Huh?
Did it miscalculate?
In fact, the height of the fall is not as terrible as it imagined?
"what happened?"

The man looked at the hand Xiao Xiao extended to him in confusion, then looked at Xiao Xiao again.

"Excuse me, my chopsticks rolled over to your side."

Xiao Xiao pointed to the chopsticks lying on the table on the other side of the man.

"Oh."

The man suddenly realized.

He stepped back slightly and said, "Actually, you should just get a new pair."

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I just saw the chopsticks rolled out, and I subconsciously wanted to get them back."

"Sorry to interrupt your meal."

"will not."

The man shook his head. "I'm done eating."

The man paid and left.

Xiao Xiao's noodles just arrived.

After the place became quiet again, Xiao Xiao looked at the fungus man he had placed on the table.

The fungus man was a little confused.

Was it saved by this human?

This human can see it?!
The fungus man had a confused expression of shock and confusion on his face.

The inexplicable change in the situation made it unable to react in time.

However, when it looked at the bowl of noodles in front of the human, its expression was shocked.

Its shiitake mushrooms!

It quickly turned its head to look at the location of the bowl of noodles.

Then, it froze.

That spot was empty.

The human who was eating noodles just now is gone, and the bowl of noodles containing its mushrooms is no longer there.

No, gone?!
The fungus man's tears suddenly fell.

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

But he didn't say anything.

At this time, let this monster have a good cry.

"Pa-ta-pa-ta~"

The tears fell on the table with a crisp sound.

Soon, a large area of ​​the table where the fungus man was located became wet.

The fungus man cried quietly at first.

There was still a bit of confusion in his eyes.

It seemed as if he couldn't believe that his mushrooms were gone just like that.

It clearly tried its best
"Goo~"

A vague sound was heard.

It was as if a switch was turned on, "Woo~"

The fungus man burst into tears.

Crying hysterically and screaming at the top of one's lungs.

Like a sad child.

It had lost its most important treasure.

Lost forever.

Xiao Xiao looked out the window; the sky was still somewhat gloomy.

Yellow fallen leaves swirled and fell before his eyes.
