As the first ray of morning light entered the room, Ye Xiao woke up.
Seeing Qiao Si still deep in sleep, she quietly slipped out of bed, while Big Cat had somehow already sprawled itself onto the floor.
Noticing Ye Xiao was leaving, it immediately followed her.
It clung to Ye Xiao desperately, rubbing against her legs as it walked.
"You little thing, quite clever, huh? Sucked my spiritual energy all night, what, you wanna turn into a spirit? Don't you know that after the country's founding, animals aren't allowed to become spirits?"
Ye Xiao looked at the thin layer of spiritual energy enshrouding Big Cat.
The little creature had actually been absorbing her spiritual energy while she was asleep, and it seemed like it was on the verge of becoming sentient.
Ye Ling had been guarding the old man's door all night. Hearing no sounds of gaming from the room, he knew the old man had gone to sleep, and only then did he head towards his own room.
