The emperor, treated like a slave, reached out and pinched the little sable's soft, white belly. Not only did An Ruoyan not know how to restrain herself, but this little sable was even more clueless about the concept of 'restraint'. Who else but this sable would be so fortunate as to be personally served by the emperor of Fengze Kingdom?
As soon as she entered the bathing pool, the clear water immediately turned murky. It was all because Xi Xizhi had too much dust on her body, polluting the water.
Thinking about An Ruoyan's incident made Xi Xizhi feel irritated. She muttered to herself while taking a bath, occasionally raising her paws to scrub her fur and remove the dirt from her body.
It was rare for the little ferret to cooperate like this. An Honghan squatted down by the pool, holding the little ferret in one hand and pouring two spoonfuls of water down its back with the other.
"I will get it back for you."
Xi Xizhi turned to An Honghan, puzzled. What did he want?
An Honghan didn't answer it. Instead, he scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it over the little ferret's head.
A few drops of water splashed into her eyes. Xi Xizhi shook her head and shook her fur, causing water to splash everywhere and all over An Honghan's clothes.
Staring at the water stains on the dragon robe, An Honghan shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that he would have to change into another dragon robe later.
He rubbed the little ferret's fur until not a single stain could be seen before picking it up again.
As soon as it landed, Xi Xizhi shook its fur to shake off the excess water droplets. A little dizzy from shaking, Xi Xizhi stumbled a few steps, then bumped into An Honghan's shin with a thud. Rubbing its forehead with its paw, Xi Xizhi muttered a few words, stomped on An Honghan's instep with its hind leg, and then hopped two steps away.
All the palace maids and eunuchs twitched at the corners of their mouths, thinking to themselves, "Is Feng Yun Diao dizzy? Dizzy? She even dares to step on His Majesty."
"You're getting bolder and bolder. I haven't taught you a lesson in a few days, and you've started to ride on my head?" An Hong said coldly, taking the handkerchief handed to him by the palace maid and picking up Xiao Mink to sit down.
After Xi Xizhi finished doing those things, she realized what a stupid thing she had done! Then, as if suddenly enlightened, she shrank back. Compared to your calves and insteps, her forehead was the real pain, and she still felt a little dizzy.
An Honghan stretched out his palm and slapped the little sable's bottom. "If you do it again, I will not forgive you."
The handkerchief was draped over the little ferret's head, instantly covering the entire ferret.
An Honghan rubbed a handkerchief and dried the ferret's fur.
"You may all leave." An Honghan suddenly remembered something and turned to the palace maids and eunuchs.
All the palace maids and eunuchs received the order and gradually withdrew.
As soon as the doors of Panlong Hall closed, An Honghan lifted Xiao Diao's chin with one hand and said with a warning, "From now on, if you see Dongfang Youyu, stay as far away as possible, understand?"
Recalling his order for the guards to catch butterflies, Xi Xizhi nodded in agreement—another wolf in sheep's clothing.
The little sable nodded quickly, successfully pleasing An Honghan. "Not bad, at least you haven't let lust cloud your judgment."
Xi Xizhi grumbled and cursed, "You're the one who's been bewitched! She's very 'pure'!" Although the word "pure" must be put in quotes!
The image of Dongfang Youyu's face flashed in Xi Xizhi's mind, and she nodded to herself, "He is indeed very handsome." Just as she was lost in thought, suddenly, the face in her mind slowly distorted, transforming into An Honghan's eternally icy face.
Startled, Xi Xizhi shuddered and quickly slapped herself.
What are you afraid of, what are you thinking?
He glanced guiltily at An Honghan. Actually... An Honghan's appearance was comparable to Dongfang Youyu's. It was just that An Honghan rarely smiled, giving people a cold feeling, so few people dared to openly praise his appearance.
I've never seen An Honghan have any friends. He stays in the palace all day. Isn't he lonely?
Xi Xizhi's two bright, piercing eyes stared at An Honghan, scrutinizing him from head to toe, finding him increasingly handsome. A surge of heat rushed to her head; if Xi Xizhi still had a human face, she would surely be blushing with embarrassment.
With An Honghan constantly wiping its fur, Xi Xizhi restlessly turned its round body. Once the thought popped into her head, there was no stopping it; Xi Xizhi now wished she could just smash her head against a wall and die.
Before, when she saw a handsome guy, she would always want to grope him. But now that it's An Honghan, this handsome guy, she's the one who's acting all coy!
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Xi Xizhi dodged An Honghan's large hand, jumped to the ground, landed steadily, and ran towards the dragon bed in a flash. She climbed up the pillar of the dragon bed, skillfully burrowed into the quilt, and hid in the quilt, refusing to show her face.
Looking at the half-wet handkerchief in his hand, An Honghan frowned, not understanding why the little sable had suddenly run away when he was wiping its fur.
Is it because you were bullied and are unhappy?
Feeling uneasy about Xiao Mink's unusual behavior, An Honghan wiped his hands, put down the handkerchief, and walked step by step toward the bed.
The spiritual energy within her body surged wildly. Xi Xizhi sensed the fluctuations in spiritual power and her first reaction was to adjust it. Before she could even circulate her spiritual energy, her body suddenly stiffened as if pricked by a needle, and her four legs, wrapped in a quilt, kicked out as if in a cramp.
A shimmering silver light instantly enveloped the little sable's figure, and once again, a familiar burning sensation washed over her. Xi Xizhi struggled to turn over, but her body felt as if it were about to split open.
Why did you have to transform now of all times? God, what are you trying to do?!
Feeling her body gradually changing, Xi Xizhi cursed inwardly. Hearing the approaching footsteps, she closed her eyes as if she were going to risk everything.
So be it... I just ask An Honghan to give me a quick death.
In the center of the dragon bed, a cotton quilt embroidered with a golden dragon was shaking incessantly.
Xi Xizhi was terrified...
An Honghan noticed this scene and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that something had happened to the little sable. He quickened his pace and walked towards the dragon bed.
Could it be that during the check-up, something wasn't thoroughly examined, leaving something unchecked? Otherwise, why would the little ferret be trembling so badly?
Acting faster than thinking, An Honghan had barely approached the bed when he lifted the quilt without a second thought.
The heavy quilt was as thin as a sheet of paper in An Honghan's hands, and he lifted it up effortlessly in an instant.
A naked girl, about seven or eight years old, was curled up in a ball, her two white, clean arms tightly wrapped around her knees, and her shiny, silvery-white hair was scattered messily over her shoulders. Above her head, a pair of furry animal ears trembled in fear, and a half-meter-long tail was pressed tightly against her body.
“Little…Little Mink?” An Honghan’s voice trembled slightly. He, who was always expressionless, was now filled with surprise in his eyes, and at the same time, he remembered Old Man Xu’s prophecy.
