Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Sharing a Rainbow Flower Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Sharing a Rainbow Flower Little Taotie fell asleep, and truly entered the world of dreams.
In her dream, she saw a beautiful white lion with a colorful flower in its mouth.
She appeared to be struggling with her transformation, looking like a child but with the ears of Little Beast Bai Bai. She reached out her small hand, and the white lion carefully placed the rainbow flower in her palm.
After setting down the flower, the white lion spoke with a human voice, “Little sister, with me here to protect you, who would dare to bully you? I’ll bite off their head with one snap!”
Little Beast Bai Bai had just arrived to serve as the War God’s mount and faced doubt from many people, including the other mounts stationed there who also refused to accept her.
But with the protection of the great white lion from the Lion Tribe, chosen to be the Deputy General’s mount, Little Taotie was not bullied.
“Third cousin, when will I be able to become as powerful as you, so the War God will take me into battle to fight the enemy!”
“Don’t worry, you have the brave bloodline of the Lion Tribe and the powerful bloodline of Taotie flowing through you. You will be the mightiest mount. You’re still too young. Wait another hundred years–”
Seeing the dimming light in his little sister’s eyes, the great white lion hurriedly corrected himself, “No need for a hundred years. If you eat the Rainbow Flower, just fifty or sixty years and you can reach adulthood!”
“Really? Is this beautiful flower tasty?” Little Taotie swallowed instinctively. Although the flower was pretty, it looked even more delicious!
“This was exchanged for all my battle honors! My master wouldn’t lie; if he says it’s useful, it must be so!”
Thinking of the War God’s Deputy General, that gentle and reliable human deity, Little Taotie nodded and carefully broke off a red petal to taste.
The flavor that filled her mouth was that of flames, yet it did not burn.
Little Taotie pursed her lips, savoring the taste.
“How is it, tasty?” The great white lion licked its lips, looking a bit greedy.
Little Taotie plucked a blue petal and offered it, “Third cousin, you try it too!”
“No, no!” The great white lion shook his big head vigorously, retreating several steps to avoid the small hand feeding him, “You must eat them all for the best effect!”
“Let’s eat them together and get strong together!” Little Taotie insisted, stretching out her hand as if she would get angry the next second if he didn’t eat.
Unable to resist the temptation, the great white lion finally opened its mouth and ate the petal.
“It tastes like the sea, a bit salty!”
The great white lion shook the fur on his head and roared skyward, “I feel so energetic, I could go into battle right now and bite off all those monsters’ heads!”
Little Taotie laughed happily, “Let’s try some other flavors!”
She tasted a yellow petal and then fed a green one to the great white lion.
“It’s the taste of sunshine, warm and comforting.” Little Taotie happily squinted her eyes, “Delicious!”
The great white lion smacked his lips, “It’s a rich grassy scent, a bit bland.”
Little Taotie held out an orange petal to his mouth, “You try this one.”
Little Taotie herself picked a purple petal and ate it, squinting her eyes, “It’s a little bit like the ocean, a bit like morning dew, and there’s a sweet hint of sugarcane.”
The great white lion smacked his lips, “Mine tastes like fruit, can’t really tell which one, it’s like a bunch of fruits mashed together into a juice.”
When it came to the last green petal, the great white lion refused to open his mouth to eat, so Little Taotie had to eat it herself.
“Eh, it’s a bit sour, like sauerkraut?”
