In the corner of the courtyard, Xiao Rou and Big Dark Face watched this scene, feeling conflicted. When they saw their young master getting bullied by that little fox, they wanted to rush over to take revenge. However, when they saw Young Master looking at Ling Chuxi pitifully, turning his defeat into victory, they immediately stopped themselves.
“Little White, what is wrong with you?” Ling Chuxi dusted Little Red off, but before she could pick it up, Little White smacked Little Red again, sending him tumbling away even faster.
Ling Chuxi was speechless.
Little Red angrily lifted its head, chirping and squeaking at Little White in outrage.
Little White raised its head and looked at the sky arrogantly, ignoring the enraged squirrel.
Xiao Rou and Big Dark Face stood there with their mouths agape, stupefied.
Little White suddenly raised its paw and pointed at itself, then pointed at Ling Chuxi’s arms. After that, it pointed at Little Red, then pointed at Ling Chuxi’s pocket.
Ling Chuxi immediately understood—Little White meant that only it was allowed to be held in her arms, so Little Red could only sit in her pocket.
So it was actually jealousy! Ling Chuxi started to laugh. Ling Chuxi had long stopped finding Little White’s high intelligence and human tendencies odd, and just nodded indulgently. “Got it, Little White. Come, this place only belongs to you.” Ling Chuxi hugged Little White, and then bent down to pick Little Red and put it into her pocket. After that, she held Duan Xiaomo’s hand and they made their way to the canteen.
With this, everything was at peace.
Xiao Rou, who was still in the courtyard, miserably chewed his own handkerchief as he sobbed, “Wuwuwu… Young Master truly has it hard. For the sake of vengeance, he actually has to endure being bullied and humiliated by a stupid fox!”
“Seems like it.” Big Dark Face scratched his own head and looked in the direction where Ling Chuxi had headed, his expression suddenly turning solemn. “We seem to be forgetting a very important matter.”
“What?” Xiao Rou’s heart pounded anxiously at Big Dark Face’s serious expression. What had they overlooked?
“Mealtime is here! If we don’t go now, all the good food will be finished!” Big Dark Face roared, and then rushed towards the canteen, leaving Xiao Rou standing there in a daze.
“You idiot! Wait for me!” Xiao Rou bellowed furiously. He was annoyed, but couldn’t deny that what Big Dark Face had said was true. If they were late, there would be nothing to eat! Thus, Xiao Rou also speedily took off towards the canteen.
In the canteen, when Ling Yichen saw Little White in Ling Chuxi’s embrace, he was shocked. Initially, he thought that Ling Chuxi had gone and gotten another fox that looked like Little White, but seeing the little fox naturally sitting by Ling Chuxi’s side and elegantly eating pieces of meat, Ling Yichen knew that it was truly Little White. Why was this fox here though? How had it entered the Sacred Realm of Sects and found Ling Chuxi? Also, why had it disappeared at all?
What kind of a monster beast was it exactly?
Ling Chuxi did not say anything, and Ling Yichen also did not ask. That fox, although mysterious, did not have any ill intentions toward Ling Chuxi, and that was enough. Furthermore, the fox was very important to Chuxi—the first time it had disappeared, Ling Yichen understood that. This fox returning to Ling Chuxi’s side now was good.
