Chapter 147 - 142, An Invitation from the Underworld
Bai Jin revealed a smile, tiptoed over, then suddenly called out, "Gu Liang~"
"Ah!" Gu Liang jumped up in surprise, turning around with a mushroom in hand and joyfully exclaimed, "Senior Brother!" She immediately hid the mushroom behind her back, and when she brought her hands forward again, the mushroom had disappeared.
Bai Jin walked over and spotted a small mushroom beside the roots of a tree, and with a smile asked, "Junior Sister, are you picking mushrooms?"
Gu Liang immediately shook her head and looked up to say, "No! I am planting mushrooms."
She held up a small basket in her hand for Bai Jin to see.
Bai Jin looked towards the little bamboo basket and indeed saw many small mushrooms inside.
Gu Liang, brimming with pride, said, "My Mushroom Island is already filled with mushrooms, and I have also planted little mushrooms on Junior Sister’s Skull Island. Your island is too monotonous, so I planted mushrooms there for you too."
As she said this, she bent down to dig a small hole and planted a brightly colored small mushroom into it, filled the hole with soil, then patted her hands and giggled, "There! Senior Brother, don’t you think it’s pretty?"
Bai Jin hesitated before saying, "This mushroom is poisonous, isn’t it?"
"But it’s so pretty! Poison is just its way of protecting its beauty, it’s actually quite pitiful," said Gu Liang, gently stroking the vibrant little mushroom cap.
