Meatball fetched its recently favored stick from the main hall and stuffed it into her palm.
Ruan Jiaojiao casually tossed the stick away, and Meatball immediately leaped up with its round chubby body to catch it. Unfortunately, its skills weren’t very good, and eight times out of ten, it failed to catch the stick.
Watching Meatball leap into the air and bite the stick, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly felt a shock to her senses.
Leaping up, biting, shaking its head, landing...
This set of movements, why did it resemble the little villain just biting a snake?
Ruan Jiaojiao was somewhat scared by this speculation of hers.
But she also knew that it wasn’t impossible, because if she could transform into a human, why couldn’t other animals do the same?
Could this little villain be?
She sneakily turned her head to look at Xiu Xi, only to find that Xiu Xi was also looking at her, catching her spying glance red-handed.
Xiu Xi put down his toothbrush and cup, walked over to her, squatted down, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, her tongue pressing against the teeth that had fallen out at the bottom, halting her speech before she asked, "Brother Xi, why did you bite the snake with your mouth?"
Biting something with the mouth, she inexplicably felt that it looked familiar.
But she couldn’t remember why it was familiar; she attributed this feeling to having seen Meatball bite the stick.
If it had been before, he would not need to hunt for prey himself.
But now, using this body and with his cultivation completely drained, the only thing he could do was to intimidate other animals with his presence, far from what he used to be capable of.
He had never transformed into human form before becoming the King of All Beasts. When hunting, he used either claws or mouth, and now that he no longer had sharp claws, naturally, he had to use his mouth.
Moreover, those few snakes obviously behaved abnormally; they were not only unafraid of him but also did not get close to her, which was unusual. He wasn’t sure if it was related to something that had happened to her before.
Regardless, it was right to get rid of them sooner rather than later.
Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, digesting the meaning of these two words.
Could people have such an instinct?
Ruan Jiaojiao expressed her doubts.
She really wanted to ask if he had been reborn, but she was afraid to ask. Hesitating, the Ruanlin Family members returned.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch walked in the front while her four sons followed behind, all with smiles on their faces, apparently in very good spirits.
"Granny, Dad, uncles," Ruan Jiaojiao saw them come in and had to suppress her doubts, calling out to them one after another.
"Hey, Jiaojiao is such a good girl. Did you see the candy your third uncle left for you in the inner room? If you finish it, just tell third uncle and he’ll buy you more," her third uncle Ruan Jianjun said cheerfully.
The four sons of the Ruanlin Family were all tall and strong, and he was no exception. However, he was a bit fatter than the other three, probably because he worked in the kitchen at the factory.
Being chubby made him look particularly kind when he smiled, and Ruan Jiaojiao felt he was like the Maitreya Buddha statue the Ruanlin Family kept in the house. Even though they didn’t spend much time together, she felt especially close to him.
He and Du Qing both worked in town and seldom came home, but their affection for Ruan Jiaojiao was never less than Du Qing’s. This time he came back and brought her candy again.
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, sweetly saying, "Jiaojiao loves the candy third uncle buys the most. It’s so sweet!"
Ruan Jianjun was immediately amused and laughed heartily, moving forward to affectionately pat her little head.
