Chapter 27- Judging the Beauty or Ugliness of the Panda

Mo GunGun lightly touched the black pendant with his fingertips, and little light entered him.

He didn't feel any discomfort, and instead felt a little warm. He tilted his head in doubt.

Mo GunGun opened his mouth, “Grandpa, what is this?”

Wu Da: “This is the blessing of your ancestors. It's the condensation of the energy of all your ancestors, and also the reason why they all disappeared.”

Wu Da: “Remember, an ordinary man may be innocent, but a precious stone can land its possessor in jail.”

 “No matter who it is, you can't tell them this secret,” Wu Da said seriously. Mo GunGun stared absent-mindedly. Wu Da glanced over Lu Xiao Qi and emphasized, “Whoever it is.”

Mo GunGun stared at the monster, then nodded silently. Wu Da's strength was too weak. After giving Mo GunGun a deep look, he moved towards the pendant, “Don't worry about it too much. Besides, you need to get out of here quickly. It's dangerous! “

Mo GunGun opened his mouth.

He repeatedly rea.s.sured his grandfathers, and when they got into the pendant, all that can be seen on the pendant is a darker dot and a light spot that has been floating on the surface.

Wu Da felt troubled.

Meanwhile, Mo GunGun didn't fully understand what happened. He just felt a little heat coming into his body, and then it was gone.

 Even if he could tell others, he wouldn't know what to say.

So, this is the secret of the panda family. Mo GunGun bowed his head and touched his belly.

 His confusion couldn't be blamed on Wu Da. His soul was too weak to stay outside the pendant for a long time, so his long story could only be shortened. Meanwhile, Wu Da entrusted the little panda to Wu Er, then fell into a deep sleep, taking his worries with him.

Wu Er looked at the empty ancestral realm, sorrow flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. He then looked at their only remaining hope for their family, and Wu Er was filled with strength again. Now there was no room to do anything foolish. This was the treasure they must guard no matter the cost. He was their clan's last hope.

Mo GunGun felt sadness in his heart. He would no longer see all those lovely spots of light in the future.

He had also liked his ancestors. Grandpa AI, who had told him “I am your ancestor” excitedly, and comforted him with the phrase “don't be afraid”, and the countless light spots that marveled and praised him when he shook his ears had disappeared.

They had completely vanished.

The bees…

Mo GunGun did not hate them before, but now he had a grudge.

For the first time in his two lives, Mo GunGun felt hostile to another animal.

As Mo GunGun stared at the pendant, Lu Xiao Qi's eyebrows locked. He was afraid the little one was taking the loss too hard.

Even though he saw a soul, Lu Xiao Qi was calm.

As for the light spots in the pendant that guarded the panda desperately, Lu Xiao Qi felt a profound emotion in his soul towards them.

He respected them more and silently thanked them.

Even if he was submerged in darkness, he would not be pa.s.sive when fighting with physical objects.

But when faced with weird ghosts, he had lost his opportunity.

It was dangerous.

Since meeting the little panda, Lu Xiao Qi had faced many spirits and monsters. If he couldn't protect him next time…

Lu Xiao Qi became more grim.

Sunlight filtered from above and s.h.i.+fted from illuminating the pond to the rock wall as time pa.s.sed.

Mo GunGun choked back his tears, unwilling to let them fall.

However, his small, pitiful appearance was really distressing, so Lu Xiao Qi could not help but wrap his arms around him and rub his back.

Lu Xiao Qi didn't know how to comfort him, so he accompanied him silently.

Mo GunGun was tenderly held in the arms of the big monster. He couldn't help but inhale deeply through his nose and as his eyes reddened.

Lu Xiao Qi pressed his lips together as he felt the clothes on his dampen.

After Mo GunGun finished crying, his mood stabilized. He stared blankly at the wet chest and stole a glance at the monster.

Lu Xiao Qi used a life's worth of patience to not move, and when he saw that the little panda wasn't crying anymore, he felt relieved.

Mo GunGun raised his small hands to wipe the monster's chest, intending to eliminate the evidence.

Mo GunGun said softly, “I'm sorry.”

A smile flashed in Lu Xiao Qi's eyes as he rubbed GunGun's head with his good hand, “It's all right, don't cry.”

Mo GunGun felt embarra.s.sed. He scratched his face. He thought he was able to hold back, but in the end, he didn't know why…

Mo GunGun: “Hey.” He paused, “I'm sorry.”

With tears in his eyes, he tried to squeeze out a flattering face. It was careful and lovely.

Lu Xiao Qi almost melted because of this cute and silly boy.

Lu Xiao Qi responded, “It's okay.” After thinking about it, he took out a bamboo shoot and asked, “Do you want to eat?”

Seeing the bamboo shoot, the hungry Mo GunGun's pupils brightened, and he subconsciously took it and prepared to bite off the skin.

But after opening his mouth, there were only two little tiger teeth that could bite through the outer layer.

Mo GunGun successfully left two small marks on the bamboo shoot. At least it was better than when he was a baby.

But still, it couldn't be compared with the teeth of a panda.

Unable to eat, Mo GunGun's gla.s.s heart nearly shattered.

He had just calmed his emotions and but they slowly flowed through his hands again, just like water.

Lu Xiao Qi hurriedly patted him, “Eat this fruit first. We'll bake it in a while.”

“En.” Mo GunGun had suffered a lot today, but he couldn't slow down at all, so he nodded obediently and grinned. Even though he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of sadness. He felt aggrieved.

Curled up beside the stone with his head drooping, Mo GunGun held the red apple, and ate it bit by bit.

The little mouth didn't stop eating, but his mood was still low.

Lu Xiao Qi had a headache. He had been in the army for a long time, and he won the hearts of many of his soldiers, and if he didn't, he'd beat them into submission. In any case, he had been able to solve each situation neatly. However, when faced with the delicate and beautiful little panda who had just lost his loved ones, he was at a loss.

It needn't be said whether he could force him or not, as he simply wasn't able to. The admiral regretted that he couldn't hold him in his palm. Lu Xiao Qi remained calm, but his hands moved a little. Fortunately, earlier he had found the little guy's fruit and picked it up subconsciously.

Mo GunGun had never eaten in this form before, and was unskilled.

He felt like his mouth was not his own.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but miss his panda body and fur. At that moment his inner self was rolling around and crying.

I want my fur back. I don't want to be ugly.

Lu Xiao Qi saw him and thought he was going to cry again. He then said, “Right now, my wound hurts a bit.”

The unspilled tears receded in an instant as Mo GunGun stood up, “Does it hurt? What's wrong? Are you dying?"

The youth clumsily ran to Lu Xiao Qi. He couldn't care less about his own injuries, as his eyes were full of the big monster's wounds. Mo GunGun blew on the wound, and after thinking about it, he lowered his head, ready to lick it.

Once Lu Xiao Qi saw that he was no longer preoccupied by sad thoughts, he did not want the little guy to worry about him.

Lu Xiao Qi: “It's okay, I won't die.”

Mo GunGun held his wounded arm, widened his eyes, and said with a serious look, “But you are hurt.”

Pain was equal to a life-threatening event for the panda, so he was about to panic.

Lu Xiao Qi: “I'm really okay, don't worry about it.”

Mo GunGun stared in disbelief.

Lu Xiao Qi wanted to punch himself. It seemed that his attempt to comfort him was not effective at all, but instead added to the panda's stress.

At that moment, Lu Xiao Qi hated his stupid mouth.

Mo GunGun lowered his head and blew on it patiently. Then blinking glistening eyes, he tentatively asked, “Is it better?”

He is so lovely. Lu Xiao Qi's heart throbbed, and his eyes flickered as he said, “Much better.”

Mo GunGun listened and was immediately reenergized, seemingly ready to roll up his sleeves to blow again.

When he saw the black hair resting on his white neck, Lu Xiao Qi could not help lowering his eyelids to hide darkening eyes.

Mo GunGun blew until his cheeks were sore, then secretly rubbed his cheeks.

Lu Xiao Qi's expression was gentle, and his sharp, carved features softened as he said, “It doesn't hurt anymore.”

Mo GunGun: “Really?”

Lu Xiao Qi nodded.

Mo GunGun's eyes curved with a successful smile, “That's good.Then later I will do it for you again.”

Lu Xiao Qi's wound was negligible, but a small current blew through his heart and caused the water to ripple.

Lu Xiao Qi responded, “Okay.”

Mo GunGun smiled, revealing a row of tidy, white teeth, and a little dimple appeared.

The beautiful eyes bent into a crescent, seeming to bloom.

Lu Xiao Qi's heart felt like he was. .h.i.t by something as he calmly watched the youth.

Mo GunGun grinned, and when he found that the big monster was staring at him, he blinked in confusion. Suddenly he came to his senses, wiped the grin off his face and covered his face.

Lu Xiao Qi was stunned.

When he struggled to run away, Lu Xiao Qi subconsciously caught him in his arms, not wanting to let the person who hurriedly tried to escape to fall.

Mo GunGun, whose nose was red: “Wu. Don't look.”

Lu Xiao Qi frowned.

Mo GunGun said in tears, “I already know I've become ugly.”

Ugly?

When does this start? Lu Xiao Qi was so amazed that he didn't know what to say. This little guy is so beautiful, how could he be ugly?

Mo GunGun was still hiding his face, “I have no hair, I'm the ugliest bald panda in the world.”

Mo GunGun: “I've become a monster too.”

Lu Xiao Qi stared blankly, the corners of his mouth fiercely twitching. He suddenly remembered that earlier, the little guy had called him ‘big monster'. For the first time in his life, Lu Xiao Qi was uneasy about his appearance. Since he was a child, he had always been praised for his strength, perseverance and handsomeness by other families. Lu Xiao Qi never knew that he was actually extremely ugly in the eyes of the little panda.

Seeing how disheartened the little guy was, Lu Xiao Qi could only imagine how the little guy determined that he was ugly.

Really…

Really, it's been hard on the little guy.

Lu Xiao Qi felt a little depressed in his heart, and he patted the small youth's back, “You're not ugly, really.” But his deep-rooted aesthetic sense couldn't easily be changed.

Mo GunGun: “Don't lie to me, you're joking.”

 Lu – ugly thing- Xiao Qi: “………..”

Can't he say that he is amazing because the little guy truly is beautiful? Obviously, the little panda didn't believe it.

Lu Xiao Qi was distressed and couldn't help but sway his dragon's tail twice.

From behind his fingers, Mo GunGun happened to see the strong black dragon tail, and looked at it with a little envy and longing in his eyes.

He became ugly like him, but he didn't have the same beautiful tail as the big monster.

Thinking that he was uglier than the big monster, and that he was less beautiful than his mother, and Mo GunGun was saddened.

Lu Xiao Qi was silent for a long time before saying, “GunGun, do you think I'm ugly?”

Mo GunGun's whole body froze.

Lu Xiao's eyes flashed. Very good, the little panda already told him the answer by his reaction.

In fact, this was also a small blow to Lu Xiao Qi.

Lu Xiao Qi patted the boy's back, “According to my race's aesthetics, you look very good. Don't cover yourself, really.”

If he directly said that the little guy was good-looking, he might not believe it.

Mo GunGun lifted his head up in doubt, “Your race's aesthetics?”

Lu Xiao Qi bowed his head. In fact, all interstellar aesthetics were very similar. Except for this extremely special race, Mo GunGun was such a soft and beautiful young boy that could enjoy the love and cheers of most interstellar races.

But this little guy's lineage…

Lu Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, but he dared not say anything.

Wu Er was distressed, “Even if he is hairless, he's our family's favorite little GunGun!!”
