Li Meirong set the cup aside and lightly stroked Snowball's fur in an endearing manner.
"Because they have been kind enough to deliver food and drink for me." she quietly replied.
"That is their honor."
"But-"
Snowball hushed Li Meirong by pressing his paw against her lips.
"Master, your words are supreme and far more precious than gold. Do not offer your gratitude so carelessly in the future." As he spoke his eyes glowed yellow, sharp and scorching.
The Xiao twins both nodded solemnly in agreement.
"The fox spirit is right, My Lady. Take care with your words."
Li Meirong unconsciously bit her lip. She couldn't help but feel a bit wronged. She never thought she'd be reprimanded for saying something as simple as 'thank you'. She had never been scolded for being polite to someone before.
