“Little Yuanxi!”
Returning to the courtyard she was in earlier, Gu Qingluan spotted Feng Yuanxi sitting on the steps, flanked by a dog on each side, like a dynamic duo in black and white.
“Woof!” The adorable bun, with its white fur, recognized Gu Qingluan and greeted her with a bark as if saying hello.
On the other hand, Briquette had curled itself into a ball, resembling a lump of coal, murmuring to itself, “You can’t see me! You can’t see me!”
“Beautiful Sister!” Yuanxi raised his head upon seeing Gu Qingluan. His grape-like eyes immediately lit up, and he stood up, rushing toward her.
Descending from above, Gu Qingluan caught him in her arms with a smile.
“Beautiful Sister, where did you and my dad go just now? Why didn’t you take me?” Yuanxi pouted with a hint of grievance.
“Ahem, 1 asked your dad some private questions that weren’t suitable for children to hear.”
Yuanxi nodded in understanding and obediently said, “I see. Then I won’t ask.”
“You’re such a well-behaved child.” Gu Qingluan ruffled his hair affectionately.
“Miss Gu, where is my master?” Jing Feng inquired.
In Yuanxi’s heart and eyes, there was only Gu Qingluan now. His poor master was truly pitiable.
Gu Qingluan remained composed as she replied, “I don’t know. After our conversation, we parted ways.”
Jing Feng harbored hidden doubts.
Was Miss Gu telling the truth?
He had a sinking feeling that something was amiss.
If they had separated, the master should have returned. So why was it Miss Gu who appeared instead?
Gu Qingluan exhibited an enigmatic smile as she glanced at the two excited yet subdued spirit dogs beside her.
Finally, her gaze rested upon Briquette.
Sensing the gaze from above, Briquette tensed up even more, its eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing its unease.
With a meaningful look, Gu Qingluan said to Yuanxi, “Little Yuanxi, are these two spirit dogs obedient?”
Although she couldn’t sense any arcane power emanating from Briquette, Gu Qingluan was sure it was no ordinary creature.
When she initially learned that her son gave these two pets to Yuanxi, she was worried that Briquette might cause trouble.
However, from the looks of it now, it seemed to have adapted well with Yuanxi, boasting glossy fur and appearing much better than when she had encountered it in the shop. The most apparent change was that it had gained some weight.
Yuanxi nodded affirmatively. “They are very well-behaved. Beautiful Sister, they understand my words and can perform tricks according to my instructions.”
“Oh, tricks?” Gu Qingluan became interested.
Seeing her curiosity, Yuanxi held her hand and led her back inside. “It’s windy outside. Let’s talk indoors. I’ll have SteamBun and Briquette perform for you.”
Although Gu Qingluan was anxious to find her child, she couldn’t bear to refuse Yuanxi when she saw his eager expression. She thought it wouldn’t hurt to indulge him for a little while. Thus, she complied and followed him inside.
“SteamBun, Briquette, come in quickly!” Yuanxi called back.
Hearing their names, SteamBun wagged its tail and rushed in enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, Briquette was reluctant and moved slowly, hesitating step by step.
“Hurry up, Briquette!” Yuanxi raised a gracefully arched eyebrow, a clear warning in his gaze.
An invisible pressure suddenly descended, causing Briquette to shiver involuntarily. With teary eyes, it reluctantly followed suit.
It shouldn’t have been so greedy for the delicious food here!
If only it had escaped earlier, it wouldn’t have ended up being mistaken for a performing spirit beast!
However, at this moment, regret was too late.
Watching their figures as they entered together, Jing Feng felt a growing unease in his heart..
