Chapter 556: Chapter 533: Foraging_3

The large tiger beneath him looked at its master with a melancholic gaze, and to beg for some food, it finally decided to put aside its noble dignity and let out three Yin Fire farts, causing its mature tiger physique to rapidly shrink.

The misty fire dispersed, and at last, it shrunk to the size of a puppy, making it look less scary.

Although its physique had shrunk, its adult tiger face had not changed at all; it looked like a tiger afflicted with dwarfism.

With the weakest and most helpless body bearing a fierce face, it truly… couldn’t be considered cute.

Baili An couldn’t believe it could transform in such a way and laughed, bending over to hold it in his arms, “With this, things are much more convenient.”

He left the inner hall under the cold hanging moon.

Before Baili An could walk out of the palace, he encountered that Miss Jun by a small fish pond.

She lay by the edge of the jade pond, leisurely scattering fish feed to the fish in the pond.

Upon seeing her, the scenery in the hall remained unchanged, but sudden intuition made the air around him feel light and ethereal, as if he was in a secluded mountain valley, where thousands of bamboo seemed to appear before his eyes, and mulberry birds took flight.

This young lady seemed to harbor an inexplicable energy and power that purified the mortal world’s miasma within her body. Whenever Baili An got close to her, he inexplicably felt a sense of cleanliness and cheerfulness that was refreshing to the soul, and even his mood inexplicably settled.

The fish in the pond of the Celestial Palace’s inner hall were naturally no ordinary fish, having absorbed some Immortal Energy; they seemed to be sensitive to Baili An’s aura. Before they finished their food, they were startled and hid at the bottom of the pond.

The young lady turned and saw Baili An, her bright eyes suddenly curved into crescent moons, seemingly joyful, “Brother.”

Baili An saw her lying by the edge of the jade pond, her embroidered shoes and small socks set aside, her delicate jade feet swinging back and forth behind her; he couldn’t help but say, “The night is chill, and your body is frail; you should take care to keep warm. How can you wade barefoot?”

She didn’t seem to mind Baili An’s elder-like advice, and obediently stood up to put on her socks, smiling, “Brother, where are you planning to go so late?”

Baili An shook the Spirit Ghost in his embrace, “The little one is hungry, I’m taking it out to find some food.”

Jun tilted her head and looked at the Spirit Ghost in his embrace for a long time, smiling, “Brother, that’s a yin spirit Spirit Ghost from the Central Netherworld, its original form is much larger; it’s hardly a ‘little one’.”

Baili An couldn’t comprehend why she was fixated on whether the yin spirit Spirit Ghost was a ‘little one’. Watching the delicate and pretty young girl jump down from the jade pond, her loose-fitting robe fluttering in the night wind only emphasized her petite and adorable appearance.

She approached Baili An, her face flushed from the wind, her pitch-black eyes calm as flowing water, she said, “Brother, I know a barbecue restaurant in the border city with excellent taste; your ugly tiger in your arms should like it.”

The yin spirit Spirit Ghost was stunned for a long time before it realized the ‘ugly tiger’ the young girl referred to was itself, looking foolishly stunned.

Baili An involuntarily laughed, what kind of a name was ‘ugly tiger’?

And what was with the odd sense of competitiveness in this little girl’s tone?

Before Baili An could say anything, Miss Jun suddenly squatted down with her arms out for a hug, “Brother, I’m hungry too.”

Baili An looked at the crumbs of cake around her mouth, silently speechless.

Seeing that acting spoiled was futile, she didn’t mind the dirt on the ground staining her skirt and simply sat down, clasping his thigh with both hands like a cat, her little face tightly pressed against his leg, pitifully saying, “Brother, just take me out to play, I won’t be any trouble.”

Baili An felt a headache coming on; this forward little girl was sticking to him quite strongly, despite them having met only a few times, and just a few days ago at Bichao Lake, he deeply realized that this seemingly harmless little girl actually had a particularly troublesome sly character.

Taking her out with him, he had the feeling that something uncontrollable might happen.
