At the time Bai Yu had first made his presence known to Her Ladys.h.i.+p, he had made sure to come back only when Her Ladys.h.i.+p was awake and properly dressed. When he stepped inside the house, Her Ladys.h.i.+p greeted him with a faint smile, yet it was clear to him that she was in a terrible mood despite her attempt to conceal it.
Now, it seemed as though she could no longer restrain her displeasure...
The fox cub"s yellow eyes squinted while his snout contorted into a cringe as he witnessed Li Meirong toss away the ancient, priceless scrolls in her fit. A piece of his own heart broke as parts of the bamboo scrolls crashed upon impact with the ground, the cracking noise dug mercilessly into his furry ears.
"My Lady! Those are priceless treasures that deities would slaughter each other for, and you"re hurling them around so carelessly! Uwuwuu…"
Bai Yu tearfully lamented as he turned away, covering his ears with his paws in the process, unable to watch this tragedy any longer.
Though to be honest, he was similarly befuddled by the Jade Palace"s summoning decree and wondered what could be the cause for it. However, whatever the case for it may have been, the fluctuating time difference between the Heavenly Realm and the Mortal Realm was certainly bound to cause a rift in the friendly relations.h.i.+p and blooming affections of the Bai couple.
The small silvery fox sighed in dismay as he made a silent prayer for the Sovereign Lord.
Oh, the Fox Lord definitely had his work cut out for him now, Her Ladys.h.i.+p seemed royally p.i.s.sed off this time around…
Clap!
A sudden striking sound snapped him out of his reverie to glance back at Her Ladys.h.i.+p once more. Oddly enough, Bai Yu"s heart felt a little unsettled once his sight focused on Li Meirong clapping her palms together. Something about her demeanour seemed to have changed, her gaze now possessed a clear indifferent radiance as she gazed at the heap of cracked bamboo scrolls, as though within those few moments, she made some sort of important decision. It was always stated that a woman"s anger was easier to appease than her indifference, and Bai Yu was seeing the reality of this wise saying.
At that moment Bai Yu concluded that it wasn"t so bad to still be a bachelor, considering how he certainly wouldn"t know how to appease his wife in such a situation, that is, if he ever had one. He was never really good with comforting others, and could only provide his silent companions.h.i.+p, choosing to speak less for fear of making a mess with the wrong choice of words. Surely, the last thing His Lords.h.i.+p needed was for his secrets to be unveiled this instance.
"Come on s...o...b..ll, let"s go back into the dimension." Li Meirong resolutely stated.
"s...o...b..ll" furiously nodded his furry head and wordlessly rushed to Li Meirong"s side as she transferred her consciousness out of her body, dragging him along with her.
Once Li Meirong"s eyes fluttered open to reveal the densely populated mushroom field within the dimension, the final remanents of anger were thoroughly extinguished due to the shocking sight which she was greeted with.
Her mouth hung slightly open as she was left dumbfounded by the appearance of a buck naked, heavyset boy with skin as pale and smooth as tofu and a ma.s.s of green curly hair which adorned his head in a fas.h.i.+on quite similar to that of damp seaweed.
Even more shocking was the way this young child, who currently had his back turned to her, was ardently digging through the soil with his chubby little fingers, in the midst of what seemed to be a strong-minded task of plucking out a plant…
Wait a minute, wasn"t that her recently contracted Lingzhi Mushroom Spirit who was currently being dug out of the ground?
"Master save me! This crazy radish wants to kill me!"
Ben Mo telepathically shouted in anguish the second he saw Li Meirong"s arrival, directing his wide reddish cap her way as if he planned to jump into her arms for dear life.
