No matter how dissatisfied it was, it did not dare to show its displeasure due to Bai Chen's influence. He obediently lay in Bai Chen's hands and wagged his tail. If his descendants were to see this situation, they would definitely grieve and lament that their ancestor had fallen.
Ye Shu took the soft ball of fur and held it in her arms as she stroked it gently. Previously, she did not see it clearly at the teahouse, but now that she was closer to it, it was a different feeling. The cat's fur was entirely golden, and its eyes were as dazzling as diamonds. It was small, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Thank you."
She accepted it without hesitation, but the golden cat looked at Bai Chen with widened eyes in disbelief. It howled unhappily, "What? You want to hand me over to this stupid mortal?"
Originally, it was already forced to submit to this man. Now, he actually wanted it to follow this mortal who was only in the Foundation Establishment stage! What right did this woman have to make it follow her!
Ye Shu stroked the cat in her arms and said with a smile, "This demonic beast is indeed quite cute… I'll call you Xiaobai (Little White) from now on." When she smiled, it was as if she was competing with the sun and the moon. In an instant, a large amount of light disappeared, making it hard for people to look away. Even Bai Chen, who was watching from the side, was slightly stunned.
The golden cat was speechless.
Was this woman blind? How was it white? How could she compare it to the cheapest white cat!
Bai Chen suddenly smiled seductively. "Alright, I'll call you Xiaobai."
"I don't agree!" The golden cat bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its eyes wide open as it meowed. However, because of its cute appearance, it didn't seem aggressive at all. Instead, it looked like a tsundere.
At this moment, it sensed Bai Chen's cold gaze and was so frightened that it did not dare to move. It let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.
"Good cats don't fight with men!"
Ye Shu thought that it was hungry. She raised her eyebrows and conjured up the pill that she refined two days ago. The cat sniffed and in an instant, the rich spiritual energy completely entered it. Its eyes lit up and it rolled around in Ye Shu's arms.
"Master, master!"
Bai Chen was speechless.
Xiaobai was too solicitous. The golden ball of fur kept rubbing against Ye Shu. Bai Chen could not help but shift his eyes away when he saw this.
… What a waste of the Ye Family's Sect Protecting Elder title.
When he turned around again, Xiaobai was holding a bottle of spirit pills and meowing comfortably while waiting for Ye Shu to feed it. From time to time, it would rub its tail against Ye Shu's hand and nestle in Ye Shu's arms. It could not help drooling.
For some reason, Bai Chen felt uncomfortable witnessing this scene. He lifted Xiaobai up with a black face. Without the spirit pills, Xiaobai struggled in dissatisfaction and wailed loudly. Ye Shu had a genuine smile in her eyes when she saw Bai Chen's actions.
"What is it?"
Bai Chen was expressionless. "It said that it's full."
Let go of me! You bad man, I'm not full yet! Xiaobai struggled and screamed in protest.
Ye Shu raised her eyebrows. "You know cat language?"
"Yeah."
"No, Master, he's lying! He wants to torture me!" It's a pity that Xiaobai doesn't know how to speak. It can only move its paws and howl in protest!
Her lips curled into a non-committal smile as she took back the spirit pill jar. She looked up at Bai Chen's cold and calm appearance, especially his eyes that were moving like a red spider lily blooming through the night. Nothing in the world could hide their brilliance, but when matched with this ordinary face, she felt that it was a little abrupt.
Although the two of them were worlds apart in terms of looks, for some reason, she recalled the handsome man she saved in the front yard that day. Ye Shu had a bad memory, but she had always had a deep impression good-looking people.
"Have we met before?" Ye Shu asked.
Bai Chen put away his cold demeanor and scratched his head like a deer in the forest. He grinned in surprise at Ye Shu. "Miss, are you being silly? I'm Miss's guard and have always been protecting you. Of course you've seen me before."
Ye Shu instantly dispelled her doubts. That's true. After all, these two people's appearances could be said to be unrelated. How could they be the same person?
It was already close to midnight and she gradually felt sleepy. She covered her mouth and yawned, her voice lazy. "It's getting late. Why don't you rest early too?" With that said, Ye Shu did not wait for Bai Chen's reply and turned to walk to her own courtyard.
Seeing this, the cat struggled in Bai Chen's arms. He did not try to stop it. The cat took advantage of the situation and nimbly jumped down. It followed Ye Shu proudly and slowly.
Behind him, Bai Chen's calm eyes watched the departing figure of the man and cat. He regained his composure and turned to disappear into the night.
