”Say that again!” Lu Xiaoqing yelled furiously, looking like a fierce tigress with her hands on her hips.
”Haha, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Come in, take a seat. As the saying goes, joy is to have a faraway friend visiting! No, wait, that's wrong. You're not from very far away at all,” Xiang Shaoyun laughed.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Xiaoqing stepped into the courtyard. Little White was sleeping to the side when she walked in. He opened his eyes and gave her a glance before ignoring her and resuming his sleep.
Recently, Little White had been focused on digesting the demonic core he had swallowed not long ago. He spent most of his time sleeping. When Lu Xiaoqing saw Little White, a cheery look covered her face, and she exclaimed, ”Wow! Such a cute kitty!”
She ran over and tried lifting Little White. But before she could even get near him, he darted to a different spot with a flash.
”Meow!”
Little White yelled resentfully while glowering at Lu Xiaoqing, seemingly warning her against approaching him.
”Don't be rude, Little White. Shoo, go resume your sleep somewhere else,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
But Little White did not move away. Instead, he leaped onto Xiang Shaoyun's shoulder.
”Shaoyun, is this your pet? He's so cute! I wish I had a kitten this cute, too!” Lu Xiaoqing said enviously.
”If you like beasts, I will get you a Demon King beast in the future!” Xiang Shaoyun promised generously.
”Pffft. You just can't stop bluffing, can you?” Lu Xiaoqing did not trust a word of that. Demon King was the demonic beast's equivalent of the human's King Realm. It wouldn't be that easy to get one.
”I knew n.o.body would trust me when I speak the truth.” Xiang Shaoyun shrugged helplessly. He spoke again, ”Take a seat first. I'll go get something for you.”
Then, Xiang Shaoyun entered the house. As for Lu Xiaoqing, she started getting nervous for no apparent reason.
H-he's g-going to give me something? What would it be? I-is he trying to confess to me? B-but I'm not prepared for that yet! Lu Xiaoqing thought to herself, her face red.
Soon, Xiang Shaoyun came out again. He was carrying a jade bottle. ”Here, for you.”
Lu Xiaoqing looked at the jade bottle and asked curiously, ”What's this?”
”Earth Star Spring,” Xiang Shaoyun replied indifferently.
”T-this is Earth Star Spring? Y-you found it?” Lu Xiaoqing was startled.
”Nothing surprising about it. This young master is a beloved child of heaven, accompanied by good fortune wherever I go. If I want a spiritual treasure, it will come with a snap of my finger,” Xiang Shaoyun said as he flung his hair around.
Xiang Shaoyun had always been quite handsome, and for some reason, flinging his hair really did work on causing the young lady's heartbeat to speed up.
