“Ok! Gongzi!” They nodded with hand in hand.
“That’s all. I just came to tell you that I’m fine. You should go back to change and go to class.” Hao Ren felt quite pleased after seeing them.
“Gongzi, you seem to have reached Li-level?” Looking at Hao Ren closely, Lu Linlin suddenly said.
“Yes! You have!” Lu Lili yelled as she was pleasantly surprised.
“Well, I reached it by accident.” Suddenly, Hao Ren remembered the incident with snow lotuses and asked, “You mentioned last time that Seven-Colored Snow Lotus could become my Mystic Crystal, but it seems like there are only 1,000-year Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses in the world.”
“Not true!” Lu Lili pouted. “Only the Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses that need 10,000 years to root, 10,000 years to bloom, and another 10,000 years to mature are the real Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses! However, this kind of snow lotuses needs essences to help it grow and thus is very precious. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be one of the best five-element Mystic Crystals in the world!”
“What kind of essences can help them grow?” Hao Ren asked.
“I don’t know. If my sister doesn’t know either, then only those people who are experienced at nurturing the snow lotuses would know about it,” Lu Lili said.
Obviously, the shy Lu Lili was quite lively around Hao Ren after getting to know him.
When Hao Ren glanced toward Lu Linlin, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. Since we are not in the Above Realm and can’t consult the scrolls and documentation, we can only tell you what we remember. We do remember that such snow lotuses exist. As to the 1,000-year Seven-Color Snow Lotuses, we don’t know if they can turn into Mystic Crystals. But you can try if you get them one day.”
“Ok.” Since 10,000-year snow lotuses were not available, and the 1,000-year ones had been all used up, Hao Ren didn’t pursue the topic. The girls returned to their room to change, and Hao Ren walked toward the library.
Rumble…
When he walked to the back of the library, Little White in the hidden space began to roll around again.
After a moment of consideration, Hao Ren stepped into a concealed corner and quietly opened the hidden space.
Bang! Little White jumped out. It was as tall as one meter.
“Moron! Turn small!” Hurriedly, Hao Ren patted its head.
Immediately, it shrunk into the size of two palms, and its voice turned quiet at the same time.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, girls’ voices came from behind him.
205 Shameless Little White~~
Hao Ren was terrified; he thought they saw little White’s transformation. The girls ran over and circled them before he could escape with Little White.
“Woah! Such a cute puppy…”
They squeezed Hao Ren out of the crowd and circled Little White.
“Puppy…” Hao Ren sweated as he thought, “Hey! This is a Bin-level Spirit Beast and at least should be called a lion. How could you be calling it a puppy?”
Just as Hao Ren was thinking about this, those girls had already picked Little White up and passed it around in their arms.
They completely ignored Hao Ren’s existence as the ‘owner.’
Little White was so well-behaved that it made Hao Ren mad. It didn’t even struggle a little bit in the girls’ arms. On the other hand, it looked even more adorable with its innocent eyes wide open.
“Is this what they call a teacup puppy?”
“This is a British mini puppy…”
The girls discussed as they patted Little White all over.
Hao Ren began to sweat a bit more, but Little White was still obediently being passed around like a cute little puppy.
After a while, they finally remembered Hao Ren as the owner of the puppy and turned to him.
They asked politely, “Such a cute puppy. What’s its name?”
“Little White,” Hao Ren said speechlessly.
Little White hopped out of the last girl’s arms and hid behind Hao Ren.
However, this wobbling and soft look caused another wave of screams. Hao Ren could tell from their looks that they were girls from lower-years who came to the library to study. They made a shortcut since their dorm was just behind the library, and that was why they saw Hao Ren and Little White here.
“Don’t you have your bread, Miaoling? Give it to it!” one of the girls said to another.
A girl opened her bag and took a bag of bread out which was barely eaten. She took a small piece and threw it to Little White.
Little White, lacking the dignity of a Spirit Beast, immediately bit onto the bread as it landed in front of it.
The girls all cheered at its reaction and threw a few more pieces at it.
As usual, Little White took everything that was offered to it. It sometimes even hopped up to catch the bread, which made the girls scream even more.
“Your Little White is so cute. Can you leave us your number, so we can feed it some other time?” They circled Hao Ren when there was no more bread left.
Little White walked around Hao Ren in circles to show that it was still hungry. Hao Ren shrugged as he saw this Bin-level Spirit Beast acting cute for the girls just for a few pieces of bread.
However, Little White’s cute appearance was a great ‘wing tool’ for meeting girls.
Hao Ren had no choice but to give the girls his phone number. He picked Little White up and headed to the library. Certainly, he made a few changes to the number he gave them; he didn’t want them to find him.
Little White kept murmuring in Hao Ren’s arms, showing that it was still hungry. Hao Ren realized that the reason it was rolling around in the space in the necklace was that it was hungry.
The girls were still staring at Hao Ren and Little White as they were leaving. Hao Ren couldn’t put it into his necklace in front of them. Therefore, he hid it in his shirt and walked into the library.
The good thing was that Little White was well-behaved and never made a sound once they entered the library.
“Class President?” Hao Ren suddenly noticed Xie Yujia in the aisle near him when he was swiping his campus card.
“Ah, you are here to borrow books too?” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren, slightly surprised.
“I want to borrow some more books on architectural design,” Hao Ren answered as he straightened his shirt and passed through the aisle.
“You have a wide range of interests. You are studying architecture lately?” Xie Yujia smiled as she noticed the bump under Hao Ren’s shirt. She looked over, and Little White was reaching its head out curiously.
She looked into Little White’s black eyes and was surprised.
Hao Ren thought he was in trouble. Knowing how Xie Yujia was, she would definitely scold him for bringing a puppy into the library.
However, Xie Yujia was not as strict as Hao Ren expected. She looked at Little White in surprise and said, “Such a cute puppy! Where did you get it?”
“From a friend. I haven’t found a place to keep it yet, so I plan to take it back to my dorm after getting the books from the library,” Hao Ren explained.
“Can I pet it?” Xie Yujia asked timidly like a child.
“Ah… Even Xie Yujia couldn’t resist the cuteness of Little White…” Hao Ren had no choice but to nod.
Xie Yujia looked around and held Little White in her arms as she patted on its head in adoration.
Little White gently licked her smooth palm.
This made Xie Yujia’s love for cuteness explode. She opened her bag and let Little White hop inside, leaving the zippers open so it could breathe.
“We can keep it here for now. Let’s go get the books!” Xie Yujia smiled and said Hao Ren, satisfied.
Hao Ren thought to himself, “Little White is taking all the advantage it can with that appearance. If it reveals its true self, all the girls would be scared away.”
Xie Yujia was a girl, and it was natural for females to care for little animals more.
They went into the borrowing area, and Hao Ren went to look for architecture books while Xie Yujia picked up some books on acupoints and meridians!
They met again at the checkout area and looked at each other’s book selections. Hao Ren was surprised to find that Xie Yujia didn’t get any books for studying.
“That old Grandma has been feeling weird in her legs lately, and I want to give her a massage. So, I’m learning some of this,” Xie Yujia explained as she noticed Hao Ren’s confused look.
“Um,” Hao Ren didn’t ask more questions. He secretly admired her kindness for the lonely old Grandma.
Xie Yujia carried her bag as they walked outside. Little White was still hidden in there; it seemed like it had gotten used to the new ‘puppy’ identity.
“The guys in your dorm probably don’t know how to keep a pet, and Little White might suffer in your dorm. I can take care of it for you for a day, and I will bring it into my dorm as long as I make sure the dorm manager doesn’t see it,” Xie Yujia said as she went down the escalator.
Hao Ren didn’t have the heart to reject Xie Yujia’s enthusiasm, so he agreed.
Little White even reached its little head out of the bag to lick Xie Yujia’s arm.
“This damn lion is acting adorable again!”
Hao Ren couldn’t help but pull its ear.
It was really the one and only snow lion that could play the puppy card so well!
206 Little White Is the King When the Tiger Is Away
The second morning, Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia standing in front of their dorm building with Little White in her hands when he walked out with Zhao Jiayi and the guys.
They were all surprised to see Xie Yujia here.
“What’s the matter, Class President? Did Little White chew on something?” Hao Ren walked over and asked. He thought she would take care of Little White for a few days since she liked it so much.
“Little White is very sweet… It’s just… I can’t afford to keep it anymore,” Xie Yujia handed it over to Hao Ren and explained, “Last night, it ate 32 hot dogs, seven chicken legs, eight big bags of bread, and three cups of instant noodle. It finished all the food that my dorm and adjacent dorms have!”
Hao Ren looked at Little White in surprise. What a big stomach this little thing had!
Little White wagged its tail and hopped into the basket on her bike. It seemed like it didn’t want to leave Xie Yujia just yet.
However, Xie Yujia didn’t dare to keep it anymore so she took it out of the basket and put it into Hao Ren’s hands. “This little thing has such a big appetite, and it would make a squeaky sound if we don’t feed it. We had to keep giving it food because we didn’t want the dorm manager to hear it. We barely slept all night.”
“Damn, Little White,” Hao Ren patted its head and said, “The more you get, the more you want, huh? You asked for so much food!”
Little White looked up innocently as if it was saying, “You were the one who took me out of the Snow Lotus Cave on the Sky Mountain, so you need to take care of me.”
Hao Ren answered in his head, “Had I known it is so hard to raise you, I would have thought twice before taking you out of there.”
However, since it was already his Spirit Beast, it was impossible to throw it away. Hao Ren had no choice but carry it in his arms. He smelled the vague but refreshing fragrance on its white fur and thought, “Did this little thing sleep on the girls’ beds last night?”
“I made Little White a small bag, and it seems to like it,” Xie Yujia took out a cloth bag which was the perfect size for Little White. It could stay inside with half its head sticking out.
Hao Ren smiled at how thoughtful Xie Yujia was. “Thank you very much, Class President.”
With the space in the necklace, he didn’t need such a bag at all. But he was still thankful for her good intention.
“I’m going to class. Take care of Little White and make sure it is well-fed,” Xie Yujia reminded him before she got on her bike and headed toward the cafeteria.
“Woah! Woah!” The guys immediately kicked up a fuss as soon as Xie Yujia had left.
“Raising a pet with Xie Yujia. Such a good relationship!” Yu Rong walked over and poked at Hao Ren.
Xie Yujia was the quiet and pretty girl in class, but that didn’t mean the guys didn’t pay attention to her. They admired Hao Ren’s technique in pursuing Xie Yujia by simply taking care of a pet with her together.
“Get out of here!” Hao Ren waved them away as he put Little White in the bag in front of his chest. Then, they headed to class.
Little White knew how to behave in class; it didn’t make a sound or cause any trouble at all. Since it was a Thursday and they had a mandatory course with Su Han in the morning, the guys were all excited.
Su Han sensed Little White’s existence as soon as she got into the classroom. She looked in Hao Ren’s direction, and Little White was intimidated by this Qian-level Master and immediately hid its little head in the bag.
However, Su Han didn’t care as long as Little White didn’t harm any humans. She also didn’t want to waste any time disciplining this low-leveled creature. On top of that, as her Assisting Inspector, half of Hao Ren belonged to her, so there was no need to keep such a tight eye on him.
Su Han walked out of the classroom coldly after class. Hao Ren knew for a fact that she went straight to cultivation.
Little White rolled around in the bag again to show that it was hungry.
It was noon, and Hao Ren decided to take it to Hongji Square to eat. Zhao Jiayi and the guys had no interest in little animals like Little White, so they went to the stadium to play basketball as well as check out pretty girls.
When Hao Ren got to the west gate, Xie Yujia came over on her bike as well.
“Hehe, I knew you would take Little White to Hongji Square.” Xie Yujia got off her bike and walked with Hao Ren.
“It is hungry again.” Hao Ren shook his head.
“I like Little White. It’s just that it eats too much, and the girls in our dorm are all complaining about it. So, I had to give it back to you,” she explained.
“It’s ok. I don’t want to cause you any trouble.” Little White jumped out of the bag as soon as Hao Ren finished talking and hopped into Xie Yujia’s bike basket. It circled around in there and placed the two front legs on the rim of the basket, looking ahead energetically.
Xie Yujia laughed cheerfully. Her laugh was like a summer breeze, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.
White T-shirt, simple short skirt, white socks, and little leather shoes were her usual outfit. It almost seemed like a school uniform.
Hao Ren liked this refreshing type very much, especially when most girls nowadays were very into makeup and high-end outfits.
When they arrived at Hongji Square, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia ordered two bowls of glass noodle soups, and they order several servings of ribs for Little White. If you did the math, Little White’s meal was much better than theirs.
Sure enough, the appearance of Little White attracted some of the girls’ attention. They started to feed her as well. However, Little White had gotten a little picky, and it didn’t even touch the things that weren’t very appealing.
“It’s so easy to meet girls with a puppy like this,” Xie Yujia said as she ate.
“I’m not that kind of person…” Hao Ren thought it was necessary to explain why he got Little White.
Xie Yujia smiled and let go of the topic, “How’s Zi lately?”
“How come you are asking about her all of a sudden?”
“Nothing. I’m just a little worried because last time she got scolded in the office.”
“Oh, that’s ok. She has thick skin,” Hao Ren said randomly.
Xie Yujia bit her lip and asked after some hesitation, “Are you…her boyfriend?”
“More of a fiancé than a boyfriend,” Hao Ren said slowly.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren, stupefied for a few seconds. Then, she kept
on eating her glass noodle soup.
“Want to take Little White for a walk in the park nearby after this?” Hao Ren asked.
“Oh…” Xie Yujia’s tone of voice suddenly got a lot more gloomily than before.
It was perfect sunny weather to walk a dog.
Hao Ren took Little White to the grass of the park and realized many middle-aged people were walking their dogs here as well.
It was the first time for Little White to come to a nature-like environment, and it was exhilarating. It hopped out of Xie Yujia’s basket and rolled around in the grass.
Although it was a Bin-level Spirit Beast, it was still an animal that was half a year old. It had been living in the gloomy Lotus Cave and had never seen anywhere with grass and trees like this.
Xie Yujia couldn’t help but smile at Little White. Even some of the girls stopped as they passed by since they really wanted to hug Little White.
Little White stretched out its little legs and sprang on the relatively spacious area as all the other dogs stared at it.
Suddenly, Little White noticed a piece of yummy barbeque pork in front of a big black wolfhound. It dashed over without thinking.
“Come back Little White!” Xie Yujia shouted out, worried.
That wolfhound was six or seven times Little White’s size. It showed an angry and violent look even though a man was holding onto its leash.
However, when Little White got in front of the big wolfhound, all it did was putting its little paw on the meat, and it made the wolfhound backup in horror, howling. If it weren’t for the leash, it would have dashed away!
Little White slowly ate the piece of barbeque pork.
Xie Yujia was astonished yet Hao Ren had already assumed this would be the case. The Bin-level Spirit Beast was a Bin-level Demon Beast before being tamed. No ordinary dog would be able to handle its strong spirit!
“Haha, Mr. Wang. You are here today too!”
“Yeah, Yeah. I’m taking a walk since the weather is nice. The Tyrant didn’t want to stay at home!”
Suddenly a few middle-aged men at the edge of the grass area started to chat.
Hao Ren turned back and saw a wealthy looking middle-aged man with a large black Tibetan mastiff on the outskirt of the grass field.
