Lord Young Master was enjoying Ling Chuxi’s petting when she suddenly stood up. He was caught off guard, and tumbled onto the ground with an alarmed squeak. ‘Ling Chuxi, you witch, what are you doing?!’ Lord Young Master was very angry and waved his little paws in outrage. However, when he saw Ling Chuxi’s expression, he froze.
Why did Ling Chuxi look so excited?
Zhen Ye turned his head and saw a snow-white fox standing by the gate of the courtyard. The little fox just stood there quietly, looking at Ling Chuxi. It had sparkling black eyes, white shiny fur, and big fluffy ears—anyone who looked at it would surely love it.
“Little… Little White, is that really you?” Ling Chuxi’s voice quavered. How long had it been since Little White had left? Huangfu Qingjue had once said that Little White would come back, and she had firmly believed that. Indeed, after such a long time, Little White had suddenly appeared again today. Ling Chuxi was both surprised and doubtful.
‘Little White?’ Zhen Ye’s heart pounded as he stared at the little fox at the door, an odd sense of anxiety overwhelming him. When he came back to his senses, he shook his head fiercely. What was he thinking? He was not a pet! Why did he consider himself a pet now? How could he be afraid of another pet coming to compete for his owner’s favor? Zhen Ye rubbed his head vigorously to wake himself up. ‘I’m the dignified future demon emperor, not a pet who has to compete for love!’
But what was going on with this fox?
Zhen Ye stood there, watching as Ling Chuxi rushed forward to hug the white fox. Was this little fox an ordinary wild beast? It didn’t look like it. Monster beast? No, that didn’t seem right either. How could Zhen Ye, the young master demon emperor, not be able to tell whether this fox was a monster beast or not? It was very strange indeed.
“Little White, you are back! How did you come to the Sacred Realm of Sects and find me?” Although Ling Chuxi was very confused about how Little White had gotten there, she was still ecstatic that he was back. She happily held Little White and walked back, then sat down in front of Zhen Ye. Ling Chuxi picked up Zhen Ye, who was standing there in a daze, and said to Little White, “Little White, I got a companion for you—it’s called Little Red. You guys can get along well in the future.”
On Ling Chuxi’s lap, a little fox and a little squirrel stared at each other.
After a while of staring, Little White casually stretched out its paw and swiftly slapped Little Red off Ling Chuxi’s lap. Little Red rolled over twice on the ground, spat out a mouthful of dirt, and got to its paws. It glared at Little White who was on Ling Chuxi’s knee, and waved its paws challengingly. Little White looked at Little Red on the ground scornfully, its gaze mocking.
Ling Chuxi tutted and picked up Little Red, patted the dust off its body, then said to Little White disapprovingly, “Little White, you can’t do that. Little Red is so small, you shouldn’t bully him.”
This time, it was Little Red’s turn to show off. Little Red harrumphed, stared at Little White triumphantly, and waved its little paw provocatively.
