Chapter 137: Chapter 117: Cola’s Advancement Requirements! The Great Changes in Xuanhe Village!
Evening.
“Quack quack.”
As the sun disappeared and night fell, Run Run Duck yawned, climbed down from the big rock, and swaggered towards the kitchen.
It’s dark now, time for dinner.
Entering the kitchen, seeing the farmer busy within, Run Run Duck put on its special duck apron and obediently sat on a chair, quietly waiting for dinner to be served.
Suddenly,
Run Run Duck noticed that the little one on Chen Yuan’s shoulder looked different. The purple hair had turned pink, while the floral hairpiece and long dress had become purple. Curious, it stood up and walked closer.
“Quack quack.”
Run Run Duck greeted warmly.
But it was met with a pair of distant, cold eyes, causing Run Run Duck to step back in fright.
Then, Run Run Duck rubbed its eyes and looked again, still seeing pink long hair, a purple long dress, and those cold eyes.
“Quack quack quack!”
Run Run Duck looked anxious, quickly hugging Chen Yuan’s leg and shaking it vigorously.
Farmer, something’s wrong, this child is sick!
Chen Yuan glanced at the worried Run Run Duck, then looked at the color-changed Twin Flower Concubine, and said helplessly, “I’ll explain to you later.”
Dinner was served,
Chen Yuan, Grandpa, and Run Run Duck sat at the table, while Cola, Spark, Iron Head, Electric Flying Cat, and Bean Chicken stood on the ground.
The little ones were of varying sizes, only Run Run Duck was well-suited to sit at the table.
Hmm, not that kind of ’sit at the table.’
Chen Yuan said, “This little one’s condition is quite unique. During the day, everything except its hair turns pink, and at night it’s the opposite.”
“During the day, its personality is lively and cheerful. At night… it’s like this.”
During the day, Twin Flower Concubine greeted every Pet Beast with a smile, but at night, it only smiled at Chen Yuan.
The little ones all looked at the cold-faced Twin Flower Concubine sitting on Chen Yuan’s shoulder; Iron Head pondered deeply, Electric Flying Cat nodded thoughtfully, Run Run Duck feasted happily, snatching a piece of fish, while Cola stared blankly.
Chen Weiyi expressed concern, “Is this normal? Shouldn’t you consult some experts?”
Chen Yuan laughed silently, “Grandpa, it’s called Twin Flower Concubine; this should be normal.”
The so-called twin nature—with two colors—and differing daytime and nighttime personalities should be normal.
But…
Chen Yuan isn’t a psychologist, so he’s unsure if this is dissociative identity disorder or simply two personality traits, though the essence remains one soul.
He decides quietly to ask his brother to consult professionals and himself to always monitor Twin Flower Concubine’s mental state.
As the night deepens,
Chen Yuan goes to bed, and Twin Flower Concubine skillfully burrows into his collar, resting against his chest to sleep.
Looking at the little face so close, with its long closed lashes, Chen Yuan doesn’t have the heart to refuse but secretly thinks, “I need to buy shirts with pockets on the chest.”
This way, Twin Flower Concubine can sleep in the pocket on his chest.
Then again, he worries that he might accidentally crush the little one while sleeping.
“But it might be able to rest in the pocket.”
…
September 27, Friday.
“Ying ying~”
At dawn, the cute, lively Twin Flower Concubine pokes its little head out of his collar. The pink eyes resemble shimmering gemstones, prompting Chen Yuan to exclaim, “Forget Flame-tailed Fox or Ice Fox; I’m unfamiliar.”
“For cute Pet Beasts, Twin Flower Concubine is the best!”
Seeing Twin Flower Concubine’s sweet smile, Chen Yuan’s mood instantly brightens, and he gets dressed and opens the door, only to find several Little Chicks waiting by the door.
“What are you doing?” Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.
“Cluck cluck cluck.”
A Little Chick squeezed to the front, and only then did Chen Yuan notice a giant egg behind it.
The Little Chick tried hard to lift its head, looking toward the Twin Flower Concubine on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, like a young guy eager to impress a goddess. It nudged the egg forward, eyes filled with clear anticipation.
While Chen Yuan was stunned, the other Little Chicks jostled and squeezed to the front, each pushing an egg, seemingly trying to gain the goddess’s favor with eggs.
“These are Bean Chicken Eggs.” Chen Yuan glanced and immediately identified.
Bean Chicken Eggs are slightly larger than regular eggs.
Suddenly realizing something, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked in astonishment, “Did you steal the eggs laid by their mother?”
“Cluck cluck cluck…”
The Little Chicks immediately dodged each other’s gazes, jostling to hide behind.
Goodness, you stole your mom’s eggs just to impress Twin Flower Concubine.
You bunch of bootlicking… bootlicking chicks, how impressive.
Like regular hens, Bean Chickens have the ability to lay eggs, but without a rooster’s fertilization, these eggs can’t hatch chicks.
The rooster that once mated with Bean Chicken was already made into roast chicken by a hungry Chen Yuan on a rainy night.
So Bean Chicken’s current eggs can actually be used for consumption.
However, Chen Yuan never expected he’d receive them from obedient Little Chick delivery rather than taking them himself.
“Ying ying~”
Twin Flower Concubine smiled at each Little Chick, nodding slightly, graciously declining their offer.
“Cluck cluck cluck…”
The Little Chicks looked dejected but suddenly saw a pair of big hands rudely picking up the eggs, muttering, “Perfect time to taste what Bean Chicken Eggs are like.”
