"Furball?" Bai Ye reached for the little creature. There was a grayish-white appearance to the creature's blue eyes. The adorable enthusiasm of the furry creature was gone.
"Hey, I'm not a furball. I'm a little spirit!" the creature argued. It tried to brandish its claws to show its disapproval but it required too much energy.
The creature's limbs moved sluggishly and Bai Ye frowned, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?" She took a bun from the plate and handed it to the creature.
The creature shut its eyes and feigned dead. "I'm too tired to eat. I need to return to your body and rest."
With that, the furry thing melted into her palm.
"Furball?" Bai Ye called out, concern laced in her voice.
"Not a furball, I'm a spirit," the creature mumbled.
"Tell me what's wrong?"
"I'm fine. Just exhausted my Spiritual Energy...I just need to rest…"
Bai Ye pressed on. "How long will you rest?"
There was no response.
