He was afraid that her assassination had been arranged by Si Mobai personally. He was afraid that she would then be extremely sad and focus too much on that, or even commit suicide. Therefore, he consoled her beforehand and reminded her that besides Mobai, she still had them. There were people who cared for her.
Besides, the words ‘come back home for shelter’ were really heart-warming.
Feng Tianlan’s gave him a sincere smile. “Thanks, Grandpa.”
Although they had only known each other for a few days, what they had given her was enough to last a lifetime. Meeting them was her blessing.
“Let that big, white cat go to my room secretly. It has been a few days since I saw it. I wonder if it was hungry. I have prepared a lot of delicious treats for it.”
Feng Tianlan giggled. “White Cutie-pie.”
“Meow.” White Cutie-pie came out from the Pill Scroll Realm. It meowed at Feng Tianlan, then squatted beside her leg while rubbing it with its white, furry head in a coquettish manner.
When the commander saw White Cutie-pie, he squatted down immediately. “Meow~”
“Meow!” White Cutie-pie stared at him. Why are you imitating my call?
“Meow!” The commander replied with another call. He then took out some Beast Vitality Pills from the storage ring and put them in a bowl. “Come over here for your treats. You can still have more after you have finished these.”
White Cutie-pie meowed and stared at him. It didn’t want to eat because he was treating it like a cat by feeding him like that.
The commander then took out a basin and filled it with Beast Vitality Pills, then put it in front of White Cutie-pie. “Go ahead, there’s more.”
“Meow!” White Cutie-pie called out in protest, then looked up lazily at the basin that was filled with Beast Vitality Pills. It stood up wobbly and walked over without hesitation.
This was a basin, not a bowl. This was the way to feed a Sacred Beast, not a cat. Therefore, it could finally eat at ease.
Feng Tianlan didn’t have much time to stay for long, hence she woke up early the next morning to say goodbye to the commander and the others. She saw the commander squatting down with White Cutie-pie as they meowed at each other while he was feeding it Beast Vitality Pills.
“Commander, I am leaving.”
The commander replied with an indifferent ‘uh-huh’, then stood up and walked to the side to wash his hands. He then gave her a yellowing Beast Hide. “It will be too tacky if I keep giving you Spiritual Crystals. This is for you.”
“Grandpa?” Feng Tianlan looked at him surprisedly. This looked like one of the Palace Methods. Besides, it seemed like it was the method that he was using the other day.
“This is Grandpa’s secret technique. I couldn’t find anyone to pass it to. However, you happened to appear, therefore, I am passing it to you so that it won’t be lost.” The commander stuffed the beast hide into Feng Tianlan’s hand. “Keep it.”
Feng Tianlan held the beast hide tightly in her hand. “Thanks, Grandpa.”
“You have called me grandpa, there is no need to be so courteous. Oh, right. Let Da Da and the others follow you to Lin’an City. Please help them with their exams. Besides, many hands make light work.”
Feng Tianlan looked at the commander, then nodded with a smile. Although it had just been a few days, she really felt extremely warm and genuine. These feelings couldn’t be found when she was with Shen Yunya and the others in her previous life.
When she reached the doorway, she realized that Da Da, Xiao Xiao, and the two others were already waiting for her. They seemed to be prepared for this.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at the others who were busy with their own stuff. It was as if they were just leaving for a short while and would be back in no time. There weren’t any sentimental partings as they believed that they would be back.
The commander was standing in the attic as he watched the departure of Feng Tianlan and the others. He then said to a dark figure beside him. “What do you say we attack them back?”
“Have you thought it through?” the figure beside him said in a deep voice.
The commander hesitated for a while and said. “I used to seek ease and comfort. However, this girl has an interesting past. If we don’t get stronger, what will happen to her? We must provide her with a place to shelter no matter what.”
