A New Ingredient
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After putting away the jade fragment, Gao Peng led his familiars out of the Taklamakan Desert. Along the way, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent held fast to the jade fragment, rubbing its head against its surface and greedily inhaling its smell.
When it was confident that no one was looking at it, the rat gave its new prize a few furtive licks. It couldn't taste anything on the jade. The Treasure Sniffing Rodent blinked in confusion. It continued sniffing the jade fragment with its long snout like a crazed drug addict.
Gao Peng isn't looking at me right now. Neither is the duck with the intimidating tattoos or the centipede who's constantly being pampered by Gao Peng... Here's my chance!
It sank its teeth into the jade fragment. Chink. A pearly white tooth flew out from its mouth.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent bit its lip and stifled a scream in order to avoid drawing any attention to itself.
