Bai Qingyue had not planned a response in advance, and instead answered best he could at that moment.
"To be honest, I struggled, but I managed to drag you back inside the cabin with my inner powers. I licked you clean and used my low-level Foxfire to dry us."
It was partly true – Bai Qingyue had licked her, and he had used his Foxfire to dry them. From his perspective, it could almost be considered as him being honest.
"You've worked hard, Snowball," Li Meirong said, kissing the tip of the fox spirit's nose. She remained ignorant to his conniving nature, and was instead just glad to have him by her side. "Thank you for taking care of me when I should be the one taking care of you."
Li Meirong was surprised by his words, but for a different reason than one might think. She hadn't even been aware of her little Snowball's capabilities, and could hardly imagine him having enough strength to drag her at his young age.
