Observing the determined appearance of the two furballs, Baili Huangzhuang furrowed her attractive eyebrows.
"With your unique appearances, taking you two out would surely attract everyone's attention."
"If someone shows interest in you, they might just snatch you away, and I won't be able to protect you," Baili Huangzhuang rubbed her chin with her index finger.
"We've got a solution for that!" exclaimed the black furball.
Immediately, to Baili Huangzhuang's astonishment, the black and white furballs rapidly shrank in size, transforming into two pearl-sized beads that bounced onto Baili Huangzhuang's head, completely unnoticed.
Baili Huangzhuang's mouth formed an 'O' shape; she had no idea these two fellows had such abilities.
With this, things would certainly become much more convenient!
"But you two can't cause trouble while following me outside. You can only communicate through telepathy, not speak directly," Baili Huangzhuang instructed.
If these two troublemakers continued their chatter on her head where others could hear them, people would think she was a freak!
"Understood!"
The black and white furballs obediently nodded. They were willing to accept anything just to be able to go out and play!
Seeing the two finally quiet down, Baili Huangzhuang revealed a contented smile. With these two companions by her side, her days became much livelier.
In the imperial city, the ten-mile-long street bustled with people, and the sidewalks were filled with stalls selling various goods. The sounds of vendors shouting echoed throughout the entire street.
Walking amidst this lively street, Baili Huangzhuang couldn't help but feel a sense of illusion, as if she were still living in a thousand years ago.
However, the constantly exclaiming furballs reminded her clearly that she was no longer the Baili Huangzhuang from a thousand years ago.
"How about I give you two names?" Baili Huangzhuang's eyes lit up. Since these two fellows were always together, it would be difficult to tell them apart without names.
The black and white furballs exchanged glances, eagerly looking at Baili Huangzhuang. They still didn't have names.
"The white furball will be called Xiaohei, and the black furball will be Xiaobai!" Baili Huangzhuang's mouth curved with satisfaction. "Perfect!"
Instantly, the originally expectant eyes of the two furballs filled with disdain. "Those names are terrible!"
"I'm white, why should I be called Xiaobai!" protested the white furball.
Baili Huangzhuang raised an eyebrow. "Just to be fair!"
"Look, the black furball might secretly wish to be white, and deep down, maybe you also like black."
"I've chosen such a perfect name!"
Baili Huangzhuang's lips formed a bewitching and beautiful smile. She truly was a fair and just master!
"No!" protested the black furball. "I don't want to be called Xiaobai!"
"Protests are ineffective!"
Baili Huangzhuang's smile remained unchanged as she completely ignored the protests of the two furballs. She truly admired her own intelligence and wit. The name was just too perfect!
While Baili Huangzhuang was leisurely strolling around, a commotion up ahead caught her attention, drawing her gaze.
"Quick, look! Prince Chen is being bullied again!"
"Sigh, this Prince Chen is truly unlucky. Despite his handsome appearance, he has a disability in both legs, and now he's being mocked and ridiculed by the Crown Prince and his group."
"Prince Chen has always been deprived of the Emperor's love, a widely acknowledged fact. How unfortunate for him to be the Emperor's illegitimate child, cursed with such a ill-fated destiny."
The voices, filled with a hint of regret, echoed three times, reaching Baili Huangzhuang's ears effortlessly.
