Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Xiaoyan, You Are One of a Kind
"So what if you’re different from your mom and dad? Lots of kids are different from their parents."
"Besides, that just proves how unique you are, Xiaoyan."
"In the eyes of your parents, in the eyes of your brothers, you’re one of a kind. In my heart, you are even more unique."
The voice of Lord Insect God was actually a bit cold, but every time he faced Xiaoyan, he was especially gentle, and he spoke very slowly, so after hearing this, Xiaoyan really started to calm down gradually.
The little girl lifted her head and looked at the Insect God in front of her, she said, "Brother Little Mushroom, is everything you said true?"
Lord Insect God nodded, "Of course it’s true. Haven’t you noticed that whether it’s your parents, your brothers, or other relatives, they all love you and dote on you? That proves that you’re the best, and that’s why they dote on you."
After thinking about it carefully, Xiaoyan realized that it really was the case!
Everyone was very nice to her!
Children’s moods come quickly and go even faster. After hearing what Lord Insect God said, the little girl stopped crying and began to break into smiles.
But as she talked, she still couldn’t let go of her concern about the tail.
"But, I really wish I had a Little Tail."
Lord Insect God thought for a moment and said to Xiaoyan, "Stretch out your hand."
The little girl obediently stretched out her chubby little hand, and Lord Insect God drew a mark in her palm. However, the mark just flashed with purple light and then disappeared.
Filled with curiosity, Xiaoyan asked, "What’s this?"
Lord Insect God replied, "This is a Little Tail. When you need it, just call it out, and it will come out to play with you for a while."
"Really?"
"Mhm."
Under the encouraging gaze of Lord Insect God, Xiaoyan spread her chubby hand and cautiously called out, "Little Tail!"
The chubby hand was still chubby.
The little girl’s mood visibly dropped!
Lord Insect God chuckled, moved closer to her hand, and blew on it... Okay, even the Lord Insect God was still concerned about Gu Yu mentioning to blow on Xiaoyan’s eyes earlier!
In Xiaoyan’s palm, a little sprout suddenly started to grow. Then the sprout slowly got bigger and finally turned into a half-meter long... purple wisteria vine.
Waving back and forth.
Kind of like a tail?
Xiaoyan blinked, and the next moment the little girl was happy, "I have a tail now! I have a tail now!"
This little vine was very obedient to Xiaoyan’s commands. If she told it to fetch something, it could do it, and in the end, Xiaoyan played with the little vine for a long time, while Lord Insect God watched gently from the side.
As it was nearly time for Gu Jue and Su Wan to finish work, Lord Insect God suggested he would transform back into a mushroom, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain to them.
Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "Brother Little Mushroom, can I let others know about the existence of Little Tail?"
"Of course, as long as you want."
The tone was very indulgent and doting.
Lord Insect God turned back into a quiet white mushroom, and Xiaoyan, excited by her new toy, couldn’t wait for her parents to get off work, and the little girl ran to her parents, proudly showing off her accomplishment.
"Daddy, Mommy, I have a tail now!"
Gu Jue and Su Wan were discussing the day’s meeting with the Insectoids, which had to be said, was full of sincerity. They truly did not want to go to war.
This five-year peace treaty is quite beneficial for both sides.
Upon hearing their daughter’s words, the couple were both startled.
Su Wan asked, "Xiaoyan, what tail?"
Xiaoyan: "It’s like this, Mom and Dad, brothers, you all have tails. I didn’t have one before, but now I have a tail too!"
Su Wan and her husband exchanged a concerned look. Their precious Xiaoyan, wasn’t she a mushroom Plantman? How come she had grown a tail?
Which kind of mushroom grows a tail?
Although deeply worried, Su Wan still patiently said, "Xiaoyan, what kind of tail is it? Can you, let Mommy see it?"
The little girl spread her small chubby hands and called out, "Little Tail, come out!"
Then, a tender purple sprout cautiously peeped out of Xiaoyan’s palm, but it seemed a bit afraid of Gu Jue, so it remained a small sprout and didn’t grow any larger for quite a while.
Gu Jue and Su Wan: "..."
Eager to impress her parents, Xiaoyan pouted and said, "Little Tail, grow a bit longer for Mommy and Daddy to see. Like this, it’s quite embarrassing for me."
Initially tense, Su Wan couldn’t help but crack a smile at her daughter’s words.
Gu Jue, however, remained stern as he stared at the plant that could move on its own, his mind flashing through several cases of mutant plants parasitizing Beastmen.
His handsome brows grew more severe!
Initially, the Little Purple Wisteria was becoming more and more afraid, but ultimately, it couldn’t bear to disappoint Xiaoyan. After hesitating for a long time, it mustered up the courage and suddenly shot up, stretching out more than a meter!
The ice blade in Gu Jue’s hand almost flew out, but Su Wan was quick to stop him.
Su Wan didn’t feel any hostility from the vine, meaning that currently, it wouldn’t hurt Xiaoyan.
Su Wan gently said, "Xiaoyan, you didn’t have this Little Tail before, how did it suddenly appear?"
The little girl bit the corner of her mouth. Oh, she couldn’t mention Brother Little Mushroom, but she also couldn’t lie to Mommy. After thinking it over, she finally said, "I saw that you all had tails, and I didn’t, so, I really wished to have one, and then, I just did."
What the little girl said wasn’t a lie; she just omitted that the tail was transformed for her by Brother Little Mushroom.
As for Su Wan, she was taken aback. She hadn’t considered that her daughter would be fixated on having a tail, but after giving it some thought, her eldest son Xiaochen’s Beast Transformation was entirely like Ajue’s, and her younger son Xiaoyu’s Mermaid form was golden, also entirely like hers.
Only Xiaoyan, on all her check-ups, was a pure human, her identity still a mysterious Plantman, different from both Su Wan and Gu Jue.
However, there was no doubt from a genetic perspective that she was their child.
Su Wan reached out and hugged her daughter, whispering, "Although Xiaoyan is different from us, you are the most precious and unique! Whether it’s Mom and Dad or your brothers, we all love Xiaoyan the most."
The little girl blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.
Ah! Just like Brother Little Mushroom had said, the little girl smiled happily, and the Purple Wisteria in the palm of her hand also seemed very well-behaved.
After dinner, Su Wan spent a long time with her daughter. Although she felt the Purple Wisteria posed no danger to Xiaoyan, she couldn’t help but worry, asking Vermilion Bird to keep an eye on her daughter at all times.
When Gu Jue finished his work and returned to their bedroom, Su Wan talked to him about the matter, "Ajue, do you think it could be a parasitic plant?"
Some plants, after being mutated by radiation, could attack humans, with even a type of mutant plant known to parasitize a person’s body.
Initially, people might think they are just sick, lacking energy and strength, but if they don’t receive prompt medical treatment, the mutant plant might absorb the nutrients from their body.
In minor cases, it could cause severe illness; in extreme cases... a person might lose their life!
As someone who had studied medicine, how could Su Wan not be concerned about this?
Gu Jue said, "I just spoke with Gu Qingyu about the matter of parasitic mutant plants. He said that later, he can send over a type of medicine. If it’s the initial stage of parasitism by a mutant plant, after Xiaoyan takes that medicine, it will eliminate the parasitic plant without causing her any harm."
