She froze in shock and exclaimed, "Luo Feng, you're amazing! You actually have such a huge turtle as your pet. Is this the pet you mentioned before?"
Hearing Tang Xuewei's words, Luo Feng felt slightly awkward because the pet he had previously mentioned to her was the Merfolk Queen. However, he didn't intend to hide the truth. He replied, "The one I mentioned earlier was my first pet, the Merfolk Queen, Ariel. This is my second pet, the Black Tortoise, Xiao Xuan."
Tang Xuewei was startled by his words, and an inexplicable discomfort crept into her heart. Even if she had never seen a merfolk in real life, how could she not have heard about them? One thing was certain—the Merfolk Queen was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
After a moment's thought, Tang Xuewei said, "Alright, I didn't expect you to have already obtained two pets in such a short time. But where is this Merfolk Queen Ariel you mentioned? Doesn't she want to meet us?"
Luo Feng studied Tang Xuewei's expression carefully but didn't detect anything unusual. He explained, "She returned to Fish-Human Island. She mentioned before that the noodles you made were delicious, so she wanted to learn how to cook them from you. Of course, she'd be happy to meet you. We'll probably see her in a few days."
Tang Xuewei nodded thoughtfully. "Good. If she comes, I'll teach her properly."
As the Black Tortoise and Ice Rabbit approached, Tang Xuewei noticed the small rabbit on the ground. Her face filled with astonishment as she asked, "Is that a rabbit? Or is it an ice sculpture?"
Luo Feng, seeing her shocked expression, said, "I forgot to explain our current situation. We're on the Extremely Cold Island, where almost all flora and fauna are made of ice. This Ice Rabbit is one such creature. And because it ate a treasure, it can understand what we say."
Turning to the Ice Rabbit, Luo Feng asked, "Why are you back here? Didn't I tell you to go home and check? Did you find nothing?"
At his words, the Ice Rabbit's tears flowed even more, soon turning into full-blown sobbing. Seeing how heartbroken it was, Luo Feng suddenly realized what must have happened. "Did your partner cheat on you with another Ice Rabbit at home?"
The Ice Rabbit wailed even louder and nodded in confirmation.
Luo Feng could only sigh inwardly. The Legendary Green Hat doesn't lie. It really can detect infidelity.
He could only sympathize deeply with the Ice Rabbit's plight. Seeing it cry so pitifully, anyone who didn't know better might think he had done something terrible to it.
Quickly, he tried to console it. "Don't be sad. If you lose one partner, you can always find another. Look, even though you don't have a partner now, you still have such a big Ice Carrot, don't you?"
Ice Rabbit, hearing Luo Feng's words, actually stopped crying after a moment's thought.
This worked? Was my comforting skill so impressive?
Wait, was my rabbit-comforting skill this amazing?
Just one sentence was enough to make the rabbit stop crying.
Immediately after, Luo Feng saw Ice Rabbit actually hand over the Ice Carrot it was holding to him.
After a brief hesitation, Luo Feng reached out and took the Ice Carrot from Ice Rabbit's grasp.
Then, Luo Feng began inspecting the Ice Carrot's attributes.
[Ice Carrot]
Grade: Good
Description: This Ice Carrot has the texture of a carrot while also possessing the ability to increase your agility speed.
It can make you faster.
Effect: +3 Agility, lasting ten minutes.
Agility: Movement speed + Attack speed + Reaction speed.
Upon seeing the description of the Good Grade Ice Carrot, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the Ice Carrot given by Ice Rabbit to be a Good Grade food item.
It could increase speed?
But what kind of speed?
Luo Feng certainly didn't want to become a "fast man."
Not everything was better the faster it was.
Luo Feng looked at the Ice Carrot in his hand, then shifted his gaze to Ice Rabbit, noticing its eager, expectant eyes.
It seemed Luo Feng understood something. He spoke, "Do you think what I said was right, so you decided to give me this Ice Carrot to eat?"
Ice Rabbit nodded.
Seeing the rabbit like this, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel sympathy—being cheated on as a rabbit was truly tragic.
He said, "This Ice Carrot must be quite important to you. You should keep it for yourself.
This grade of Ice Carrot is too low for me. I have no use for it."
As he spoke, Luo Feng pressed the Good Grade Ice Carrot back into Ice Rabbit's paws.
Hearing this, Ice Rabbit immediately felt deeply disappointed.
It had given Luo Feng its best Ice Carrot as thanks for his help.
It never expected that such a high-quality Ice Carrot—one that could make it run faster with just a single bite—would be rejected by Luo Feng.
He even said he looked down on it.
This was truly heartbreaking for a rabbit.
This was an Ice Carrot it had nearly lost its life stealing from an Ice Carrot Field!
Thinking of that field, Ice Rabbit's eyes suddenly brightened. It wanted to tell Luo Feng about it.
Because in that Ice Carrot Field, there were many enormous Ice Carrots.
At the time, it had been too afraid of the flying Ice Sculptures in the sky, so it had only dared to steal one from the edge before running back.
Ice Rabbit began gesturing wildly to convey its meaning.
Luo Feng, watching the rabbit suddenly make a series of inexplicable movements, was utterly confused.
Epilepsy?
With deep puzzlement, Luo Feng asked, "What are you trying to say? I don't understand.
Can you write?"
Ice Rabbit shook its head.
It could understand human speech, but it couldn't write.
Now, it stared anxiously at Luo Feng, willing him to understand.
Just as Luo Feng was completely baffled by Ice Rabbit's behavior, Tang Xuewei suddenly spoke from the bed.
"Luo Feng, what Ice Rabbit means is that it discovered an Ice Carrot Field with many enormous Ice Carrots, and it can take you there.
However, that field has some kind of flying creature that's extremely dangerous."
Hearing Tang Xuewei's words, Ice Rabbit excitedly nodded its head in agreement.
Luo Feng was utterly shocked by the scene before him. On one hand, there was actually an Ice Carrot Field, and on the other, Tang Xuewei could actually see the Ice Rabbit's movements.
Luo Feng looked at Tang Xuewei and said, "I didn't expect you to be so impressive. You actually understood the Ice Rabbit's meaning."
