Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Can you speak normally? (Part 1) At this moment, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu’s house was totally silent apart from the hysterical laughter from the conjured class D soul. Looking at the black smoke, Lu Shu was still rather confused. Why was there such a side effect?!

Previously, Lu Shu was already very meticulous and even if he wanted to test out corpsedog’s other abilities, he did not try it on Lu Xiaoyu’s conjured souls.

But what was happening now? Noticing Lu Xiaoyu’s rage beneath her calm demeanor and then looking at the laughing soul, Lu Shu was absolutely frustrated!

“Would you believe it if I said I didn’t know this would happen…” Lu Shu explained apologetically, realizing that he didn’t sound convincing at all.

Lu Shu suddenly thought of the Ambilight soul pearl he kept in his celestial map after killing that Japanese spy. His eyes lit up, “I have a pearl here, maybe the soul would stop laughing if he eats it?”

Lu Xiaoyu reabsorbed the soul, ignoring Lu Shu’s suggestion and hinting that only a week’s worth of tomato eggs could salvage this mistake of Lu Shu’s.

Lu Shu knew that he could no longer argue with her through reason. God damn laughing pill, god knows why the pill corpsedog conjured would have such a side effect!

He pondered. Perhaps within some time, Lu Xiaoyu wouldn’t let him conduct any experiments on her souls…

What was he thinking?!

“Here, these are fruits I brought back from the remains,” Lu Shu only then realized that he had fruits for Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Xiaoyu immediately took the fruits over while smiling. She washed one and decided to eat it later and kept the rest in the refrigerator.

This house was already very old, including its furniture. The refrigerator often had problems, causing the vegetables and other stuff inside to freeze.

The washing machine was very old as well, and sometimes it would have trouble tumbling if there were too many clothes inside.

The air-conditioner was slightly better. As for the television, it was blinding for their eyes, and it was the type which took up plenty of space and its graphics were very pixelated.

Lu Shu thought for a moment, “let’s go to the pawn shop tomorrow to sell the gold chains and watches. Then we can go shop for furniture and electronics? It’s almost the start of the sale period and many shops would have started their sales. Since we already bought the house and we have some leftover cash, I think we should improve the state of our house.”

“Alright,” Lu Xiaoyu agreed as she carried a fruit. The little squirrel suddenly woke up and stuck out of Lu Shu’s head. Looking at its fruit in Lu Xiaoyu’s possession, it was in a little despair.

Before Lu Shu could react, it jumped in front of Lu Xiaoyu and stuck its paws on its hip, as if lecturing Lu Xiaoyu and demanding her to return the fruit.

Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up when she saw the little squirrel, totally ignoring the squirrel’s lectures. Her gaze landed on Lu Shu, “Did you bring this back from the remain?”

Lu Shu nodded his head in delight, “It has gained an independent mind and is quite smart, so I brought it home to see if we could keep it as a pet.”

The squirrel turned around and looked at Lu Shu in suspicion. Does that mean that you two are together?

But before it could react, Lu Xiaoyu had embraced it, “Wow, it’s so soft! It’s very cute!”

The squirrel was caught rather surprised, totally unsure of the situation. It wanted to escape her clutch but it had greatly underestimated Lu Xiaoyu’s current strength.

It was really depressing. Were humans all so strong now?

The little squirrel tried its best to find an opening in Lu Xiaoyu’s hands, putting its paws together and begging Lu Shu for help. It didn’t even get the fruit back and its physical freedom was already gone!

After some time, the squirrel had no other choice but lie on Lu Xiaoyu’s knee. It understood that these siblings were indeed very strong and there was no use resisting!

“Does it have a name?” Lu Xiaoyu asked Lu Shu and as she spoke, she cut a piece of the green fruit for the little squirrel.

The squirrel nibbled on the fruit which originally belonged to it and started reminiscing its previous life… they were living alot better recently but their home was wrecked and even the trees were unearthed by other people…

Now it was in a lonely place without even freedom.

Looking at the fruit which Lu Xiaoyu was quickly finishing, it realized that the disappearing fruit was just like its missing youth…

Lu Shu realized that it was a wise choice to take this squirrel back. Lu Xiaoyu seemed like she was more excited by this squirrel than the food and he replied after some time, “I haven’t thought of a name. Do you want to think of one?”

Lu Xiaoyu was delighted that she was given the naming rights.

“How about chubby nut?” Lu Xiaoyu laughed.

Lu Shu’s face turned black. How did you come up with such a name? The squirrel started tearing, how was it fat?

This reaction from the squirrel surprised Lu Shu, “You understand us?”

The squirrel didn’t bother to acknowledge him and continued tearing.

“It seems like it doesn’t like this name,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “Let’s try another name, little fury!”

Lu Shu was dazed, “What accent was this?! Can you speak normally!?”

“From little fury’s distress, +1+1+1+1…”

The system had already recognized this name… It was difficult to give it a name, much less a good one.

But in his heart, Lu Shu really wished for the little squirrel to stay. It was already intellectually cognisant and it didn’t have to be kept in a cage, that would be too cruel.

So to have the squirrel stay, he had to use other methods as well.

Lu Shu really wanted to see what would happen if he gave animals a refresher fruit. But he held it in. Now really wasn’t the time to give little fury a refresher fruit. Who knew if it would run away suddenly and cause some trouble for him?

But… apart from the refresher fruit, what other stuff could tempt it into staying? Lu Shu was perplexed. Everything in his shop didn’t seem quite appropriate.

But at this moment, just as Lu Xiaoyu finished the green fruit, she opened one of her bag of potato chips from Li Xianyi. She pondered for a moment before giving little fury half a piece.

Little fury took a bite suspiciously before widening its eyes. What is this, it’s delicious!

Lu Xiaoyu was delighted and patted little fury’s furry head, “You’ll get to eat this frequently next time if you follow me!”

Little fury nodded its head without hesitation. You have chips, whatever you say!

Lu Shu’s face turned black. He was still thinking hard of using something to tempt little fury into staying and in the end, all it took was half a potato chip?!

Could it be any easier? Have some dignity!
