I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 53 Heart-Eating Worm

[Don't touch it!!]
The Frostbeast was about to step forward and knock the orange-flame-colored insect that Nan Ran was holding.

"what?"

Nan Ran hadn't realized any danger yet. She only thought that the little bug was chubby, round, and soft. When she was lifted up, its dozen or so short legs kicked wildly at the same time, which was quite comical.

She personally dislikes multi-legged creatures, especially insects.

But for some reason, this little bug, soft and plump like a glutinous rice ball, is particularly endearing.

"Can this thing be kept as a pet?"

Nanran actually wanted to ask if it was possible to raise them.

If she can't, she'll have to release it... After all, no matter how much she likes it or wants it, she can't harm innocent lives.

The Frostbeast stared at her with its mouth agape, utterly incredulous.

[you……]
Everything's alright?!
"what?"

Nan Ran subconsciously touched her face. She wasn't hurt by the little fat worm, but she was frightened by the Frost Beast.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there something on my face?!"

She thought of some ominous "creature" and almost screamed in terror: Damn it!! Could it have burst open?!
The Frostbeast shook its head.

"Are you alright?!" The voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise.

"what?"

Nan Ran looked at the Frostbeast with a blank expression, then belatedly looked at the little fat worm she was holding in her hand.

"You mean it?"

The Frostbeast nodded, still finding it somewhat unreal as it watched Nan Ran casually carrying the chubby orange-flame worm. [This is a type of insect widely distributed across the Beast Continent, called the Heart-Eating Worm.]
[The Heart-Eating Worm is distributed in all five elements.]
[Those that grow in the Water Fairy Forest are mostly fire-type Heart-Eating Worms]
The heart-eating worm has poisonous hairs on its body surface...
As the Frostbeast spoke, it saw Nanran touching the Heart-Eating Worm's rapidly swinging little legs—that is, the little paws where the poisonous hairs were.

They started playing.

The Frostbeast was greatly alarmed.

"Huh? It's poisonous?!"

Nan Ran, who was in the middle of a playful mood, was almost so frightened that she threw the little fat worm out.

[Hmm...it seems not for you?]
The Frostbeast was deeply doubting its very existence.

It was absolutely true that it saw with its own eyes that Nan Ran touched the Heart-Eating Worm's feet!

"what?"

Nan Ran was bewildered: "This thing, it also caters to orcs?"

Frostbeast: ...

It shook its head, not understanding why the Heart-Eating Worm was completely powerless in Nan Ran's hands.

It's okay if you don't know, as long as it's not poisonous!
Nan Ran held the chubby orange-flame worm, pinching its plump, soft body between her index finger and thumb.
[Deceitful! (Duang) (Eek!) (Eek!) (Eek!) (Aek!) (Too much!) (Hmm!) (Ruang!) (Eek ...
For so many years, the Heart-Eating Worms have been running rampant, and let alone the mere Water Demon Forest, they have no rivals in the entire Beast Continent!
result! !
Now!!
They were actually held in the hands of a tiny human, and were being bullied and manipulated at will!

Insect-born humiliation! !
What a humiliation for an insect to live like this!
[Hey! Oh my gosh~]
Just as the Heart-Eating Worm mustered its courage and loudly declared war on Nan Ran, its voice was crushed.

[Oh dear!! You've gone too far in bullying women!! You…]
Just as the Heart-Eating Worm was gathering its strength to unleash a harsh threat, it was pinched and made a "poof" sound, seemingly letting out a fart.

Heart Eater:...

The little bug is withdrawn, sobbing, and wants to go home.

Why?! Why is its deadly poison ineffective against this woman?!
Is this the retribution for its past neglect of cultivation?!
