Baili Hongzhuang instructed her servants to prepare some food for Bai Shi. Demonic beasts usually had a substantial appetite, and Bai Shi had been hungry for a long time.
Seeing the food, Bai Shi excitedly rubbed against Baili Hongzhuang's feet and then dove headfirst into the pile of food.
However, when everyone saw the astonishing amount Bai Shi consumed, they were filled with surprise.
"Oh no, we've gained another prodigal!" Baili Hongzhuang's mouth twitched. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were already big eaters, but it turned out Bai Shi could eat even more than those two combined!
Baili Hongzhuang was already a bottomless pit herself when it came to buying cultivation resources. Now she had to take care of three spendthrifts, and no amount of money seemed enough to sustain them all!
Thinking about it, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but take out some demon crystals. "These demon crystals can be quite useful. Coincidentally, there's an auction this afternoon. Let's use some of the pills for auction!"
While Baili Hongzhuang contemplated which pills to use for the auction, Bai Shi's shiny eyes were already fixed on the demon crystals in Baili Hongzhuang's hand.
"Master, want," Bai Shi gave up the food behind and walked up to Baili Hongzhuang, using a cutesy tone.
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. "You want the demon crystals?"
Bai Shi nodded. "Want!"
Baili Hongzhuang looked puzzled. Although she didn't know what Bai Shi wanted the demon crystals for, since it asked, she decided to give it one!
She picked up a demon crystal and placed it in front of Bai Shi, and both humans and beasts looked at Bai Shi with curiosity.
"Could this little one already absorb the energy of the demon crystals at such a young age?" Xiao Bai asked in doubt.
Demon crystals were the essence of power for demonic beast cultivation. Only powerful demonic beasts at a certain level could directly absorb the energy from the demon crystals to enhance their own strength.
However, it wasn't an easy task.
The energy within the demon crystals was extremely violent, and only extremely powerful demonic beasts could handle it.
The demon crystals Baili Hongzhuang had obtained this time were already quite potent. Although Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai could directly absorb them, Bai Shi was still young, and its body wasn't strong enough to withstand that level of power.
"I don't know. We'll find out soon enough," Xiao Hei replied. "Even if it can absorb them, it won't be able to absorb much."
Since Bai Shi asked for it, there shouldn't be any problem.
After seeing the demon crystal, Bai Shi's excitement grew, and it lunged forward and took a bite!
"Crunch!"
A crisp sound rang out as the surface of the demon crystal shattered!
Bai Shi extended its pink tongue and absorbed all the liquid inside the demon crystal into its body, then proceeded to chew and swallow the crystal shell.
After finishing the demon crystal, Bai Shi licked its lips and contentedly continued eating the food.
"Oh my, is this for real?" Xiao Hei exclaimed in astonishment. "This little guy is so young, yet it just swallowed a whole demon crystal?"
"I hope nothing goes wrong," Xiao Bai looked bewildered. They had never seen such a situation before.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes shimmered with bright light as she looked at the furry creature. A beautiful smile appeared on her face.
Just from observing Bai Shi's actions, she could already tell that this little guy was extraordinary!
The demon crystal she gave Bai Shi belonged to the Shadow Ghost Wolf, and a pre-innate realm demonic beast couldn't absorb the energy from the demon crystal.
How old was Bai Shi? It could directly consume a whole demon crystal without any harm. This proved that it had an exceptional starting point!
She believed that this time, she had truly struck gold!
This little fellow must be an extraordinary demonic pet!
