Chapter 61: My Family’s Little White is One of a Kind
‘This young maiden has a strong monster beast as her mystical pet?’ Ling Chunxi stared carefully at the maiden’s surroundings to catch a glimpse of her pet, but she could not see such a creature anywhere around her.
Meanwhile, as Ling Chunxi was peering out the window at her, Lan Xinyu was making her way down the street on horseback looking very annoyed. She wasn’t unhappy because there were many people watching her every move from the sidelines. After all, she’d always enjoyed the feeling of being wors.h.i.+pped by others. No, that wasn’t it at all. Lan Xinyu’s bad mood was the result of her being given a lecture by her grandfather before she left home this morning. He had told her there would be a young maiden with outstanding abilities partic.i.p.ating in this year’s examination. He said that her innate talent surpa.s.sed the levels possessed by ordinary people, and that even an a.s.sessment stone monument was unable to withstand her Qi Ocean. Lan Xinyu’s grandfather hadn’t stopped there. He went on to chide her against continuing to be so proud and full of herself. What a joke. Obviously, this incident Grandfather had heard of was simply exaggerated hearsay. How could it be that an a.s.sessment stone monument could not withstand someone’s Qi Ocean? She didn’t believe it!
From the window, Ling Chunxi continued sizing up the young maiden in blue. The maiden seemed to sense her gaze as she abruptly lifted her head to lock gazes with Ling Chunxi.
The both of them studied each other wordlessly. After some time, one turned away to continue eating her food and the other raised her whip to her horse to continue down the street at a faster pace.
Though it wasn’t Ling Chunxi’s intention, Lan Xinyu’s heart stirred with unease. It was merely a pa.s.sing look, but she saw well enough the peerless countenance and sharp gaze held by the clear eyes of the maiden in the window. Who was she? She had such a striking bearing and temperament.
…
“What is this? Are you also that concerned about her having a monster beast?” asked Ling Yichen offhandedly. He had observed her peering out at the streets below as Lan Xinyu rode by.
“Nope. My family pet is more than enough. Little White is truly one of a kind,” chirped Ling Chunxi with a small satisfied laugh. She picked up a slice of beef and placed it on the plate in front of Little White.
Little White swept its fluffy tail lightly back and forth, expressing contentment with Ling Chunxi’s words. It gently lowered its tiny head and began eating the piece of beef elegantly.
After they finished their meal, Ling Yichen brought Ling Chunxi around White Stone City to do some shopping. The last time they visited, they didn’t walk around much and had only stopped to buy a weapon before leaving. This time, Ling Yichen made it a point to bring Ling Chunxi to all the popular shopping spots in the city. Or so it seemed. In actuality, that rationale was merely a palatable excuse Ling Yichen used in an effort to allow Ling Chunxi to remember the locations of all the shops in the city renowned for serving good food.
