513 The Relentless Little Tail in the Shadows 4 (1/2)

It was early the next day when Jun Wu Xie and her teammates awoke. The tiny sheep was still sleeping and Jun Wu Xie gestured for all of them to remain silent. Qiao Chu and all the rest of the gang slipped soundlessly down the tree and ran away without a whisper.

It wasn't until the tiny sheep awoke and raised its little head to peer into the treetops, that all the wool on its wooly body suddenly almost jumped out of its body in fright!

”MEH! ! !”

[Where did they go!?]

”Bwah ha ha ha!!!!! You're really killing me! If you don't want that little fella following us, just throw him somewhere further away! But you made us all sneak off silently! Ha ha ha! I can't….. My stomach hurts….. Brother Hua….. save me…..” Qiao Chu had been laughing hysterically throughout the journey. Even the high grade Spirit Beasts were not a match for this group but they had been forced to escape sneakily from a persistent tiny sheep. It's was absolutely hilarious.

”Moron! Scram!” Fei Yan kicked away Qiao Chu who was about to taint Hua Yao with his ”dirty paws”, his face creased up in disgust.

”But I am rather curious though, Little Xie, why are you not willing to keep that little fella? It is rather cute, isn't it?” Rong Ruo was rather puzzled by Jun Wu Xie's reaction. She could see how much Jun Wu Xie loved furry little animals, and logically, wouldn't Jun Wu Xie be happy to have the moronic little sheep follow her?

”Will die.” Jun Wu Xie said, frowning slightly.

Rong Ruo was taken aback, but knew what she meant.

Although the lifespans of Spirit Beasts were longer than ordinary livestock, but still shorter when with compared to a human's lifespan. A Spirit Beast that belonged to such a low grade might just live a little more than a decade and Jun Wu Xie did not want to keep it as she was afraid the little beast would die on her one day and she did not want to deal with the heartbreak that would be sure to come.

If it stayed by her for a long period, feelings were bound to develop, and it was the same even for the usually cold Jun Wu Xie.

Hence, no matter how much she loved it, she would not allow herself to grow attached to the little fella with its short lifespan. She hated to see anything that she truly loved die before her eyes.

She might always seem cold and distant, but once she developed an attachment, it was difficult for her to cut ties.

Although she absolutely adored those cute and furry animals, but she allowed herself to only interact with them occasionally, and would never grow too close to any particular one.

The little black cat was an exception, due to the fact that as long as she lived, it would be able to accompany her till the end.

Rolly was another exception as it was a powerful ring spirit and it would not die under normal circumstances.
