Fantasy FarmCh73.1 - Umbrella

Translator: XiaoWu

Under Bai Yue Hu’s strange gaze, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly explained that this wasn’t their strange fetish but it was the black umbrella who had chased after them. 0W4BRY

Bai Yue Hu nodded faintly after hearing this and grabbed the black umbrella. With a pull, the umbrella was forcibly removed from Yin Xun’s head and began to screech miserably. It’s miserable cries were like a screeching child, causing one’s scalp to grow numb. Lu Qingjiu stood by the side and watched. The moment he saw Yin Xun’s head once more, he noticed that something seemed to have fallen to the ground with a thud. Taking a closer look, he realised it was the black umbrella’s eyeballs that had rolled on the ground.

Having seen the light of day, Yin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and was also given a fright by the eyeball. The scariest part was when the eyeball stared focusedly at Bai Yue Hu as if it were alive; this scene was extremely terrifying.

Bai Yue Hu threw the umbrella to the ground and the instant it landed, the eyeball that had rolled into a corner immediately shot towards the umbrella. It was immediately wrapped up by the umbrella.

“What on earth is this thing?” Lu Qingjiu had never seen such a strange creature and he was also sure that he’d never read of such a thing in the Classics of Mountain and sea. tdvk2L

Bai Yue Hu didn’t speak. Instead, he bent forward and picked up something from under his foot. Lu Qingjiu waited for him to stand up and realised that it was an eyeball in his hands. This eyeball was similar to the one he had seen before; it was round with blood-red nerves trailing behind it. Whether it were the nerves or the eyeball, they were both alive. At this moment, it was trembling like a small animal in Bai Yue Hu’s hands.

“It’s a technique.” Bai Yue Hu said, “It’s purpose is unknown.”

“Are these human eyes?” Lu Qingjiu felt that having so many eyeballs truly made one feel uncomfortable.

“No,” Bai Yue Hu replied. “These are all living creatures…” He threw the eyeball, as if wanting to see its reaction as it fell. However, he never expected for the foxkit, who’d originally been lying obediently and watching the show from a corner, to suddenly charge over upon seeing the eyeball. None of them had time to react before the foxkit gave a howl and swallowed the eyeball after several crunching sounds could be heard.

“Ah Ah Ah! Su Xi, what did you eat?!” Yin Xun shrieked.

“Quick spit it out!” Lu Qingjiu was faster. He picked up the foxkit and pried open its mouth, wanting to grab the eye out. It was evidently too late. Su Xi revealed two rows of small white teeth, its blue eyes stared innocently at Lu Qingjiu as if asking him what was the meaning of this.

Lu Qingjiu asked bitterly, “Did you really eat it? If something were to happen, how would I answer to your father?” Last year, it had become a poodle and this year, it got food poisoning… he truly felt ashamed of meeting the fox kit’s parent.

Su Xi obviously didn’t understand Lu Qingjiu’s heartache and even used its pink tongue to lick its mouth. Its gaze fell on the black umbrella with an expression that showed that it thought that eyeball’s taste was pretty good and wanted another. F7tdXU

Being stared at by Su Xi, the black umbrella unexpectedly retreated slowly. If it wasn’t for Lu Qingjiu watching it, he might have thought that he’d seen wrongly.

“Will it be fine after eating it?” Lu Qingjiu asked Bai Yue Hu anxiously.

Bai Yue Hu glanced at the fox kit and thought for a moment before picking the umbrella up. Then, he reached a hand in and forcibly grabbed another eyeball from within.

“What are you…” Before Lu Qingjiu could finish his words, he watched Bai Yue Hu stuff the eyeball into his own mouth and crunched it. Just like this, he ate the eyeball. hqLuQw

Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu both suffered a fright. They stared at Bai Yue Hu with wide eyes, not daring to make a sound until Bai Yue Hu had swallowed it and slowly licked his lips. Lu Qingjiu asked in a small voice, “Is it tasty?”

Bai Yue Hu, “It is.” He thought for a moment before saying another terrifying sentence. “It’s not human’s eyes.”

Lu Qingjiu, “…” What did he mean by it’s not human eyes? Wasn’t the implication that Bai Yue Hu had eaten human eyes before in order for him to be able to tell the difference?

“It’s really not bad.” Probably noticing Lu Qingjiu’s alarmed expression, Bai Yue Hu kindly continued, “It’s crispy and not too bloody. It’s also very juicy.” 4bE5MO

Lu Qingjiu, “…” If you weren’t talking about eyeballs, I really would like to try some.

“No need no need.” Lu Qingjiu politely refused Bai Yue Hu’s goodwill.

Bai Yue Hu looked at Yin Xun who hurriedly waved his hands like a window wiper.

“Alright.” Bai Yue Hu’s tone seemed to carry a faint hint of regret. “I’ll eat it by myself then.”

As if it could understand their words, the black umbrella wanted to bind itself tighter to resist the evil and tyrannical demon lord, Bai Yue Hu. But in Bai Yue Hu’s eyes, its resistance was merely like a mantis hoping to stop a car. In the next second, Bai Yue Hu took out another eyeball and crunched on it. jy0ztE

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were both stupefied after witnessing such a cruel and stimulating scene.

After settling the strange umbrella, Lu Qingjiu silently turned around and went to prepare dinner. Yin Xun followed behind him, his trembling appearance resembled the black umbrella.

Tonight’s dinner was simple. Lu Qingjiu fried a big plate of beef patties, cold salad, eight treasure soup, and finally cut up the steak stewed in soy sauce. He placed some chilli on the side as a condiment.

Lu Qingjiu put the porridge on the table and called Bai Yue Hu over to eat. IreMEX

Bai Yue Hu nodded and put the black umbrella aside. The umbrella stayed silent by his side without making a single sound. But the instant Bai Yue Hu picked up his chopsticks, the black umbrella abruptly opened and began to roll towards the door like a wheel.

The umbrella was actually planning to escape!

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun stared with open mouths.

But Bai Yue Hu was faster. The umbrella had yet to roll twice before he had appeared before it and grabbed it with a cold laugh. “Where are you going?” dyGzMg

The black umbrella: “…”

“Coming whenever you please and leaving whenever you please. Do you treat this place as a hotel?” Bai Yue Hu pinched the umbrella and said, “If you want to leave, you should at least leave behind all your eyeballs.”

Once it heard this, the black umbrella began to cry pitifully. The sound was extremely ear-piercing and resembled a bullied child. This made Lu Qingjiu feel even more ashamed as if he had picked on a small child.

However, Bai Yue Hu’s heart was made of stone. Not only did he not budge, he even went into the kitchen and brought out a thick rope to bind the black umbrella. Then, he tossed it onto the ground. “I’m full today, we’ll continue tomorrow.” OQVhxB

The black umbrella: “…” Wuwuwu, what evil had it committed! The scariest part was that the little fox had also shown interest in it, using its snout to rub against it as if it were about to take a bite anytime.

Yin Xun stared at the black umbrella and whispered to Lu Qingjiu, “Why do I seem to see my own future in the black umbrella?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lu Qingjiu replied, “Don’t think too much. If Bai Yue Hu really wants to eat you, you’d be gone in one bite. It’ll be quick and painless.”

Yin Xun: “…” Thank you very much for your comfort, my good friend. RkEi2Q

After eating, Yin Xun returned home while Lu Qingjiu went back into his room. Neither of them talked about the umbrella again, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Therefore, during the next two days, the black umbrella became Bai Yue Hu’s personal snack. Lu Qingjiu watched his family’s fox spirit sit in his rocking chair with the umbrella by his side. Once in a while, he would reach his hand in and fish out an eyeball, put it in his mouth and crunch. This scene was truly cruel to the extent that people couldn’t bear to watch.

The weather during the last few days was pretty good. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun would usually find a spot in the courtyard to bask in the sun but they dared not now. Because in the courtyard, one could hear the scalp-numbing crunch. After listening for a long time, one’s mentality would gradually become fuzzy… it was clear to see how great of an impact it had.

Of course, there were those who welcomed the black umbrella such as the little fox kit who sat in a corner, never taking its eyes off it. yiQmq4

But considering Lu Qingjiu’s concern on food safety, Bai Yue Hu stopped feeding it no matter how pitiful the little fox appeared.

Yin Xun stewed for two days before he could no longer endure it. He also dared not go straight to Bai Yue Hu but found Lu Qingjiu instead to express his utter distress. “Whenever I see Bai Yue Hu eating those eyeballs, I also feel my eyes hurting…”

Lu Qingjiu was roasting fish when he heard Yin Xun’s words and froze.

Yin Xun, “Are you also…” Qrw5p8

Lu Qingjiu drew a deep breath and slowly nodded, “More or less.”

It would have been fine if he’d eaten anything else but the thing he had to eat was a live eyeball. Throwing them all into his mouth like this was truly horrifying.

“Can you…” Yin Xun placed all his hopes on Lu Qingjiu, “Persuade Bai Yue Hu?”

Lu Qingjiu nodded. “Okay, I’ll talk to him.: mwKQki

After lunch, he went to find Bai Yue Hu before he planned to take his afternoon rest and snack, and told him about this matter including his suspicion towards the taste of those eyeballs and his discomfort towards seeing him eating those eyeballs.

Bai Yue Hu fell silent after listening. He beckoned towards Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu thought he was about to say something but saw Bai Yue Hu leaned forward and closer to him. He didn’t expect for Bai Yue Hu to suddenly reach out a hand and hold the back of his head. Then, he felt something cold being pressed against his lips and before he could react, that thing had already been fully stuffed into his mouth.

“Wu!” Lu Qingjiu’s eyes grew round. He wanted to say something but a pang of sweetness filled his mouth, completely different from the bloodiness he had expected. 5En0NK

“Try it first.” Bai Yue Hu’s voice sounded.

Since the thing was already in his mouth and it wasn’t what he had thought, Lu Qingjiu suppressed his fear towards the shape of this thing and used his teeth to carefully pierce the eyeball.

With a crunch, Lu Qingjiu swallowed it. “Isn’t this a living creature’s eye?” Which creature had eyes that tasted like strawberries?

Bai Yue Hu, “No.” AQ83Yd

“Then, what is it?” Lu Qingjiu was stunned.

“It’s probably a kind of fruit,” Bai Yue Hu told him. “It only looks like eyes to scare people.” In reality, it tastes pretty good.

After eating it, there was a lingering sweetness in his mouth. It must be said that apart from its frightening appearance, the taste of this eyeball was really good.

“Try another one?” Bai Yue Hu took out another one from the umbrella and glanced at it before giving it to Lu Qingjiu. “This one has a tangerine flavour.” mgvGn

Lu Qingjiu: “…” After a brief contemplation, he still accepted it. This time, he didn’t wait for Bai Yue Hu to stuff it into his mouth before he carefully ate it.

The tangerine-flavoured eyeball wasn’t as sweet as the strawberry flavour but it had more juice. Its flesh even had tangerine pulps so it was as if he were eating a fruit gelatin, the kind that was 100% natural without preservatives. As he enjoyed his snack, Lu Qingjiu looked towards the house and saw Yin Xun’s flabbergasted expression. He clearly didn’t understand why Lu Qingjiu, who’d gone to persuade Bai Yue Hu, was now chewing on said eyeballs with him with a look of enjoyment.

Lu Qingjiu nearly wanted to laugh due to Yin Xun’s expression but after thinking, he got Bai Yue Hu to pass him one eyeball. He took it and headed for Yin Xun.

Yin Xun saw Lu Qingjiu heading towards him with the eyeball in hand and wanted to run, but was pulled back. qa7FVS

“Why are you running?” Lu Qingjiu asked. “It’s not like I’m going to eat you up.”

How could Yin Xun not know what Lu Qingjiu was planning to do? He began to sob, “Stay away from me, I don’t want to eat it. I don’t want to!”

Lu Qingjiu, “How do you know if you haven’t tried it? This isn’t a living creature’s eyeball. Come, try it.”

Yin Xun wanted to struggle but was suppressed by Lu Qingjiu and then, a round object was stuffed into his mouth. Yin Xun was so frightened he nearly wanted to cry but in front of Lu Qingjiu, his struggles were futile. The eyeball was forced into his mouth and the instant it entered, Yin Xun thought he was going to die — until he tasted it. ZijrbY

“Yi?” Yin Xun asked, “Why is it grape flavoured?”

Lu Qingjiu said, “Is it tasty?”

Yin Xun immediately stopped struggling and began to chew. “It’s like a fruit jelly.”

Lu Qingjiu, “That’s right. There’s even a strawberry-flavoured one.” DA nGY

Yin Xun, “Awesome.”

The two people glanced at each other before their gazes fell on the black umbrella by Bai Yue Hu’s side. As if perceiving their gaze, the umbrella began to tremble but was helpless as it laid by Bai Yue Hu’s side. It couldn’t run; Coming to Shuifu village was its biggest mistake.
