Huo Xiaotian frowned: "Brother Qiao..."

"I'm not lying to you. I really have planned it a long time ago." Qiao Bai said sincerely: "How about this, after the New Year, when I visit relatives, I will stay at your house for a few days, okay?"

Huo Xiaotian nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Okay, okay, okay.

Why not?

As long as his brother Qiao doesn't want to have anything to do with his family!

At the same time, Huo Xiaotian was a little curious but didn't know how to ask, what plans did Qiao Bai have for the New Year?

Or... does Brother Qiao have a girlfriend? !

Huo Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Qiao Bai: “…”

"Shut up, don't talk, you can't say a single nice word." Qiao Bai was very foresighted and interrupted what Huo Xiaotian wanted to say in advance.

Don't say.

Don't want to listen.

Huo Xiaotian, whose spell was forced to be interrupted, pouted and looked at Qiao Bai with a wronged look on his face.

Qiao Bai remained indifferent.

He can ignore a girl's coquetry, let alone a grown man.

Huo Xiaotian also realized that his coquettishness had no effect at all. He put away his aggrieved look and said in a very affirmative tone: "Brother Qiao, with your temper, you will definitely not be able to find a girlfriend!"

Qiao Bai gave Huo Xiaotian a look and said nothing.

Huo Xiaotian: "..."

Although but.

He suspected that Qiao Bai was mocking him with his eyes.

Qiao Bai: There is no need to doubt it, isn't this obvious?

What is there to doubt?

Just confirm it directly.

…

The day before New Year's Day, Qiao Bai returned to NY City.

Carrying large and small bags of food, drinks and clothes, they boarded a minibus bound for a rural area in NY City.

"Civet Welfare Home."

Qiao Bai stood outside the big iron gate, looking at the orphanage in front of him, which was not grand but not shabby either. He took a long breath and walked forward.

The security guard in the small room of the guard room nearby heard the noise and looked in the direction of Qiao Bai. The alert expression on his face turned gentle, soft and full of smiles the moment he saw Qiao Bai.

"Xiaobai, it's Xiaobai who's back, right!" The security guard in his sixties with wrinkles all over his face had very good eyesight. He recognized Qiao Bai at a glance from a distance, and quickly opened the door of the small room in the guard room and ran towards Qiao Bai to greet him.

"Grandpa Ge." Qiao Bai looked at the gray-haired old man with a smile and called him by a familiar name.

Ge Shouming's old face was so wrinkled with laughter that all the wrinkles on it were smoothed out. "I heard from Xiaohua a few days ago that you're coming back to celebrate the New Year this year. That's great, that's great."

"Everyone is waiting for you." Ge Shouming said as he took the food and drinks from Qiao Bai's hand. When he picked them up, a distressed expression appeared on his face: "You said so too, come back for the New Year, why buy so many things, it's a waste of money."

"You are still a student, so you should keep more money on yourself."

"And the money you gave to the orphanage is enough. Don't send money back anymore in the future." Ge Shouming said naggingly.

He looked like he would have wanted to return the things if Qiao Bai hadn't already brought them back.

"Not really, really." Qiao Bai smiled helplessly and said, "Grandpa Ge, you know me. Although I am a student, I am not an ordinary student. I am a professor of pets in the alliance, and I am well paid."

"These are just some ordinary candies and milk, and the clothes are not very expensive. It didn't cost much at all."

"You are still a child, and you are suffering a lot." Ge Shouming grumbled a few more words.

Qiao Bai listened with a smile but said nothing.

Qiao Bai accepted the fact that he was an orphan in this world very early on.

But perhaps because he was used to the days in his previous life where one person could feed the whole family, Qiao Bai did not for a moment think about the fact that he was born in an orphanage.

It was not long ago that Qiao Bai was browsing the official website of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance and saw the year-end financial expenditures of each breeding base. One of the items was donations to the affiliated welfare institutions. Qiao Bai suddenly remembered this matter.

Yes.

Which orphanage did he come from?

The civet welfare home affiliated to the civet breeding base.

Let me recall my memories of life at the Civet Cat Welfare Home.

Neither good nor bad.

The director of the welfare home, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng, is a kind-hearted person. Her husband, Ge Shouming, is also an honest man. Due to special physical problems, the two of them did not have children, so they finally applied for a job at the official welfare home.

They don’t treat the children in the welfare home as if they were their own children, but they absolutely give love to every child equally, allowing them to grow up healthy and strong.

Three meals a day are enough to eat, and the combination of meat and vegetables is reasonable.

Keep yourself clean every day.

I can have three or four new pieces of clothing a year.

With the addition of clothes, toys and books donated from all over the place, life in the welfare home can indeed be considered pretty good.

After Qiao Bai awakened his potential as a beastmaster, Qiao Bai's household registration was moved out of the welfare home. The country and the alliance will pay Qiao Bai a separate allowance, and will also give another allowance to the welfare home where Qiao Bai is located.

Qiao Bai was not sure about other welfare homes.

However, the children who come out of the Civet Cat Welfare Home, whether they are animal tamers or ordinary people, do not have any major character flaws.

They will not feel overly inferior because of their background, nor will they take the path of breaking the law and committing crimes because of their background.

This is not an easy task for a welfare home.

After recalling these past events, Qiao Bai made an additional donation of five million to the Civet Cat Welfare Institute without hesitation. Excluding bonuses, this was half of Qiao Bai's income last year.

After receiving the donation, the Civet Cat Welfare Institute immediately called Qiao Bai, with shock and disbelief in their voices. After learning that it was Qiao Bai's personal donation, they wanted to return the donation to Qiao Bai.

The two sides are in a stalemate.

This is why Qiao Bai decided to return to the welfare home to celebrate the New Year this year.

Passing through the front yard full of childlike fun with a sand pit, slide, see-saw and various entertainment facilities, and entering the main hall, a woman who looked a little younger than Ge Shouming, about fifty or sixty years old, with her back still straight and her hair mottled with gray, walked out of the room.

"Grandma Zhang." Qiao Bai called out obediently after seeing the other person.

"Hey!" Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng first showed a big smile on her face: "Xiaobai is back? I haven't seen you for several years. You have grown into a big boy! And, I told you not to call me grandma! You are making me look older!"

As she said this, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng glared at Ge Shouming next to her.

It’s all old man Ge Shouming’s fault!

She looks old! Even the children call her grandma!

Qiao Bai laughed: "Okay, Mother Zhang."

"You look healthy and energetic!" Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng finally showed a satisfied expression after hearing this. She gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up, then walked to Qiao Bai's side and took Qiao Bai to walk into the room: "I'm glad you're back."

"The meal is being prepared. Please come with me to the office first and I will refund you the money using the official account."

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng has been thinking about this matter.

Qiao Bai took the initiative and held her hand: "It's already donated, there's no point in returning it, and it's not easy to do."

"You know that, kid." Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng gave Qiao Bai a look and said with a voice full of complaints: "Why are you making a donation?"

"You are living a good life out there. If you have time, come back to visit us during the Chinese New Year, see the new children, and play with them. It's such a waste to donate money."

"It's not like our welfare home doesn't have money."

"The small civet breeding base receives a lot of donations every year, and with the donations from some caring people outside, the children have a pretty good life." Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng said sincerely: "You are still a child, how can I ask for your money? It's not easy for you to earn money."

"Keep the flowers for yourself, don't give them to the welfare home. You don't owe the welfare home anything."

"Besides, after you awakened your potential as a beastmaster, the welfare home also received an extra subsidy every year because of you. That's enough."

Before Qiao Bai could say a word, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng had already said a lot of things, not giving Qiao Bai a chance to refute.

But as he listened, Qiao Bai couldn't help but reveal a warm smile on his face.

"Grandma Zhang, Mom Zhang, Ms. Zhang, I know the situation in the welfare home." Qiao Bai did not resist and followed Zhang Xiaofeng to the office. He pressed Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng down on the soft sofa, took the initiative and poured a cup of tea for Ms. Zhang and placed it in front of her.

"But I must explain that I don't need the money. I am now a famous pet professor in the beast taming circle and an honorary professor at Blue Bird University."

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng: “?”

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng couldn't help but look confused.

no?

"The honorary professor of Blue Bird University?" Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng repeated Qiao Bai's words subconsciously: "When did it happen?"

Ms. Zhang is not a person who is out of touch with the news.

但毕竟不经常上网，为了照顾福利院里的孩子们也不能经常外出走动，接收消息的速度往往有些滞后，可这次滞后的消息……让张女士没有想到。

紧接着。

张晓凤女士看向乔白的眼神中又带上了一抹说不出的心疼。

孩子能有这样的成就，她这个妈妈固然高兴，可是同时也心疼着乔白，乔白这是付出了多少的努力才有了现在的荣誉啊？

想想这一年来时不时地听到关于乔白的各种消息。

张晓凤女士在一边觉得自家孩子真了不起，是个天才的时候，还会想到乔白肯定是在背后默默积累，花费了大量的时间刻苦努力学习才能取得这样的成就。

哎！ 乔白一定是在外面吃苦了！

一不小心注意到了张女士眼神的乔白：“？”

小小的脑袋，大大的问号。

他没有询问张女士在想什么，而是接着张女士的话坦然地说道：“也就是前几天的事情，你不知道正常。”

“所以我才说真的没必要这么担心我，我过得很好，国家和联盟的待遇给得很好，我赚得多花钱的地方几乎没有。”乔白也真诚地说道。

他淡定地看向张晓凤女士：“说真的，您让我捐钱不如回来多陪陪孩子们，那我还不如捐钱呢。”

时间？

有点宝贵。

没那么空闲时间陪小孩子们玩过家家呢。

张晓凤女士：“……”

刚才的心疼突然就有那么一点即将烟消云散的想法呢。

就算这是自家孩子，张晓凤女士也觉得他说的话未免太过于凡尔赛了。

心梗。

“行吧行吧。”张晓凤女士见乔白的确是没有把这五百万放在眼里，表情轻松淡定得好像是在路边摊花了五块钱买了一个煎饼一样，她也只能接受了这笔捐款。

并且接受了一个现实——乔白真的成长成了一个令所有人都要仰望的存在。

“知道你时间宝贵，不过今年就在福利院过了年吧。”张晓凤女士抓着乔白的手，在手背上轻轻地拍了两下，声音温柔舒缓地说道：“以后要是没有时间回来也没关系，不要再捐钱了知道吗？”

“你捐的这么多已经够给福利院里的孩子们改善生活好几年用了。”

乔白点头。

嗯嗯嗯。

对对对。

好好好。

先应下就是。

以后要怎么做那是他的事情。

真捐了人不来，张女士还能隔空把钱退给他不成？

乔白飞快地就在脑海里做好了一系列的计划。

别的不说，既然这个世界上真的能有穿越，说不定就有神佛鬼怪呢？就当做是行善积德了。

顶多以后少捐点呗。

张晓凤女士不知道乔白内心的真实想法，见把乔白劝住了，她的脸上露出了一个舒心的笑容：“不过你既然都已经工作了，怎么样，有没有遇到喜欢的女孩子？”

乔白：“……”

好家伙。

乔白没想到自己也有遇到催婚……啊不是，被拉着家长里短的一天？ “额……”乔白没有说话，但是他的表情已经说明了一切。

“小白啊，你这样可不行啊，你这孩子，我早就知道你的，人稳重得过头，但是该享受青春，享受年轻的时候要是不好好享受，等你再大一点……”张晓凤女士拉着乔白絮絮叨叨地说道。

眼看着乔白的眼睛快要变成蚊香的形状，张女士的办公室门被敲响了。

“咚咚咚——”

连响三声后，一个脑袋从门后伸了进来：“张妈妈，吃饭啦！”

张晓凤女士瞬间停了下来。

乔白也松了一口气。

他朝着门口看去。

是一个穿着素色碎花连衣裙，侧扎着一个蓬松麻花辫的少女，长长的睫毛下一双小鹿眼一闪一闪，在和乔白对视上的一瞬间露出了一个有些羞涩的笑容，脸上的小梨涡若隐若现。

“南……小花？”乔白犹豫了一下，在脑海里找到了这个女孩的名字。

比他小一岁，晚一年进入福利院的一个小姑娘。

乔白能记住她的名字是有原因的。

南小花会被遗弃的是因为天生反应迟缓，一件正常人几秒就能给出反应的事情，她可能要半小时、一小时甚至是大半天之后才会反应过来。

不是智力有问题。

只是单纯的反应迟钝。

但小姑娘还是因此被不少人用有色眼镜看待，并且总是喜欢偷偷摸摸地欺负一下她，再加上小姑娘小的时候矮墩墩、胖乎乎的，一些好事的男孩子就给她取外号“南瓜”“矮冬瓜”。

还是一直非常关心每一个孩子的张晓凤女士，在南小花被叫了两天这个外号后就发现了，然后重重地处罚了那些调皮捣蛋的男孩子，直言就是功课不够多，才会让他们有那么多的时间想这想那。

张晓凤女士从不倡导棍棒教育。

她选择来自精神上的折磨。

加工课。

疯狂加。

让葛守明盯着。

保证没有一个孩子能在功课做完之前有放松玩耍的机会。

要是很快就能做完，那就说明是个好苗子，继续加功课。

这样的事情多来几次后，他们福利院里就再也没有了敢拉帮结派、排挤人等等之类的事情。

主打的就是一个和谐你我他。

大家都有爱。

不过也因此，张晓凤女士对南小花的关注不可避免地比其他孩子多了一点，让南小花不会稀里糊涂地就被欺负了。

“我记得我走的时候小花还是……”乔白发誓，他从小就没有参与过欺负南小花的行动，遇到南小花被欺负了就果断地去找张晓凤女士告状。

他更没有喊过南小花的外号，可看到从前矮墩墩、胖乎乎的小姑娘摇身一变成了一个……小美女，乔白还是有着说不出来惊讶的。

“你也不想想你都离开福利院几年了。”张晓凤女士笑着看了一眼乔白，立刻就猜到了乔白在想什么：“前年的时候小花病了一场，自然而然地就瘦了下来，再加上女大十八变，我们小花也变得越来越好看了。”

乔白点了点头，非常赞同张女士说的话。

没错。

确实是变好看了。

门口的南小花听着乔白和张女士的对话，脸上慢慢地、缓缓地，露出了一个不好意思的笑容，她眨巴眨巴眼睛，声音软乎乎地说道：“张妈妈，吃饭去啦！”

“好。”张晓凤女士站起来，指了指身边的乔白：“还认得出来这是谁不？”

“我知道。”南小花轻轻点了点头。

乔白有些惊讶。

恩？ 小姑娘长大了之后，反应迟钝的情况好像有所好转了？ 从记忆中乔白还能找到，和南小花说一句话对方至少需要三四分钟才能反应过来再回话，因此大家都不是很喜欢和她聊天。

虽然现在的南小花回答反应还是有点慢，至少要缓冲个三十秒才会开口，但是和从前比起来，现在这样顶多只会让人觉得，小姑娘是个慢性子。

“是乔白。”南小花继续说道。

一双小鹿眼扑闪扑闪，炯炯地盯着乔白，就好像乔白是什么不得了的生物一样。

被这样盯着看的乔白浑身上下都有些不自在起来。

“哈哈哈。”张晓凤女士一眼就看出了乔白身上的不自在，她带着乔白往外走，路过门口的时候顺便拉住了南小花小小的、一看就白白嫩嫩的手掌，一边朝前走一边对走在她另一边的乔白说道。

“你是不知道，小花可喜欢关注你的消息了。”

“特别是你那个什么……蜜虫！对！就是你帮着研究出蜜虫的进化路线后，小花每天都会在网上看和你有关的消息。”张晓凤女士乐呵呵地说道：“为此小花还专门养了一只蜜虫，我看说不定再过一段时间，那只蜜虫就能进化了！”

乔白有些惊讶。

南小花不是御兽师对吧？

然后他又淡定了下来。

蜜虫啊。

确实。

现在已经有不少普通人再养蜜虫了。

性格温顺。

只有和主人的关系好到绝对的程度才能进化。

就算没有契约也不担心进化后的宠兽会叛逃之类的。

不过就算是这样，真正能够做到让蜜虫达到进化要求的人数量也不是很多，不管是御兽师还是普通人，能够让蜜虫百分百无条件地信任，甚至为之能够从胆小怕死变得胆大起来，不是一件容易的事情。

就乔白知道的。

他那个叫做……李小夭的同学契约的蜜虫好像也还没有进化吧？ 反倒是南小花这边，居然快要进化了吗？

乔白有点惊讶。

可是想想南小花的性格又觉得不是完全没有可能。

Gentle, kind, and patient, as long as she truly wants to treat a supernatural being well, no supernatural being would be able to resist such a character.

"That's great. But if the honey bug really evolves, I'll have to trouble Ms. Zhang to keep an eye on it. After all, the inability to sign a contract means there are uncontrollable factors involved." Qiao Bai said.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng made a gesture that it was all right: "Don't worry, I'm paying more attention than anyone else."

Yes.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng is a first-level beastmaster. She is not very powerful, but she has three pets.

Because of the incomplete development of her spiritual sea, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng was unable to make further progress, and it also affected her physical functions, making her infertile. This led to the birth of Ms. Zhang, the director of the welfare home.

Qiao Bai noticed that when he was talking to Ms. Zhang, Nan Xiaohua would occasionally, like a little rabbit with ears erect, curiously poke her head out of the rabbit hole to look at Qiao Bai, and then "whoosh" back before Qiao Bai could look back.

Qiao Bai seized the opportunity, and when Nan Xiaohua once again poked her ears and head out of the rabbit hole to look in his direction, he suddenly turned his head to look at Nan Xiaohua, and their eyes met.

Nan Xiaohua: “!”

"call out--"

This time it was faster than any time before.

Nan Xiaohua suddenly squatted down and hugged herself into a ball.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng stopped walking and said: "..."

Look at Nan Xiaohua...the child is curled up into a ball.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng could only turn her eyes to Qiao Bai and signaled with her eyes: Look at what you have done! How old are you, kid? Why are you still doing such boring things?

Qiao Bai: ...Ahem.

This is not because I couldn't help it! "Okay, okay, I was wrong." Qiao Bai raised his hands obediently and said with a face full of obedience.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng rolled her eyes at Qiao Bai again, but there was a relieved smile on her face.

After listening to what Qiao Bai said before, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng thought that Qiao Bai had grown up and became an adult. She felt happy but also unspeakable melancholy in her heart.

Children grow up so fast.

He still looks like a teenager.

Why do they have to carry so many heavy things? If possible, children should enjoy their childhood! Now looking at it this way - oh, Qiao Bai is still a child! Just ask what kind of adult can do such a noisy thing! ...

Sitting among a group of children of different ages, the oldest being twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest only two or three years old, Qiao Bai acted as calm as he could.

What? Like a thorn in the side?

Feeling uncomfortable with a group of people staring at him? No, no, no.

None at all.

Qiao Bai couldn't be more accustomed to this.

Ever since Qiao Bai became famous, he has been the focus of attention wherever he goes. Even when he is having a meal, you can hear people nearby talking about his name from every aspect and angle.

It didn't take Qiao Bai too long to go from being uncomfortable at first to getting used to it and then ignoring it.

Qiao Bai also learned some disguises.

If you really can't disguise yourself, it's not a big deal if you get recognized.

In short... Qiao Bai has developed a big heart and ignores all attention from the outside world.

A bunch of little idiots are looking at me with curiosity? Just let them look.

Qiao Bai continued to eat calmly.

The moment Qiao Bai put down his bowl and chopsticks, the children who had been secretly looking at Qiao Bai and not daring to approach him finally couldn't help it. A little girl holding a brown teddy bear doll moved two steps, then two more steps. Looking at Nan Xiaohua, who was only two steps away from Qiao Bai, the little girl bravely trotted all the way to Qiao Bai's side.

"Big brother, you are the super famous Professor Qiao Bai that Sister Xiaohua has always been following, right?" The little girl's clear voice rang out in the cafeteria.

Before Qiao Bai could say anything, Nan Xiaohua's face next to him slowly and little by little began to blush again, starting from her ears and spreading to her entire face.

Nan Xiaohua once again used a speed that was inconsistent with her slow reaction. She pushed away the dishes in front of her and buried her head in her arms, just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand but with its body still exposed.

Ostrich and Nan Xiaohua: Can’t see, can’t see! As long as I can’t see others, they can’t see me!

Qiao Bai: “…Ahem!”

I feel a little embarrassed to laugh even though I want to.

However, Qiao Bai had not forgotten the little girl beside him who was looking up and staring at him with her curious big eyes.

"Well... I'm not sure about the series of adjectives you mentioned, but I am indeed Qiao Bai, and a pet professor." Qiao Bai was quite patient when facing the children in the welfare home.

The little girl held the brown teddy bear, which was a little faded from washing, but still looked very precious, and nodded seriously. The two little bows she tied also nodded along with it: "Cai Cai knows! The big brother must be the super awesome professor that Sister Xiao Hua follows!"

"Because Sister Xiaohua is shy!" The little girl named Cai Cai has a clear and loud voice.

Nan Xiaohua: “…”

Can't hear. Can't hear.

Invisible, invisible.

Determined not to look up.

Qiao Bai: Hahaha!

Not laughing was definitely his last act of gentleness.

Because it looks really funny! Knowing that Qiao Bai is the professor that Nan Xiaohua has been following, and that Qiao Bai looks easy to talk to, the other children looked at each other and were not as scared of Qiao Bai as they were at the beginning.

Now, no matter boys or girls, they all swarmed around Qiao Bai, and their childish voices were heard.

"Big brother, big brother, are you a super powerful beast tamer?"

"Can I see big brother's pet?"

"Is Big Brother's pet as powerful as Mommy Zhang's pet?"

"Mother Zhang is the best!"

"Sister Xiaohua is even more amazing! Sister Xiaohua is not a beastmaster, but she also has a pet!"

If women are five hundred ducks, Qiao Bai felt deeply at this moment that children are one thousand ducks.

fine.

He only comes back during the Chinese New Year, otherwise his life span would really be shortened.

Thinking back, was he this annoying when he was a kid? Oh.

It seems to be pretty much the same.

Even more bearish.

after all.

Fight the goose with bare hands.

Provoke the yellow dog at the entrance of the village.

He had done things like coveting the rooster's tail feathers.

It's a chaotic situation, and its reputation is well-deserved.

He was able to grow up well, and he really has to thank everyone in the village for being tolerant of him.

Look at the children in the welfare home. Although they are a little naughty, they are actually much more well-behaved than those children who are cared for by their parents.

Children can read facial expressions and realize that the environment they grow up in is not without reason.

Even Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng and Ge Shouming are very caring towards the children.

When children realize that they have been abandoned by their real relatives, they will mature quickly mentally and behave in a well-behaved manner.

Qiao Bai looked around and noticed.

Those who were chasing him around and asking questions were basically children between 5 and 8 years old. Those who were 9 years old and above basically just looked at Qiao Bai with curiosity. The older children, around 11 or 12 years old, would even ask those overly excited children to calm down.

"Want to see my pet? Sure." Qiao Bai agreed to the children's request. "Sure!"

Suddenly.

The children cheered.

Qiao Bai raised an index finger: "But——"

The children instantly became quiet again, blinking their big watery eyes, covering their mouths with their hands, looking at Qiao Bai pitifully, and waiting quietly for Qiao Bai to speak.

Qiao Bai couldn't help laughing, and then continued: "But if they don't want you to touch them, you can't force them to touch you, can you do that?"

"Can--!"

The children spoke in a long voice.

Next second.

Qiao Bai released Xiaowu, Maomao Chong and Xiaobai Snake.

"Wow--"

The children once again cried out in surprise.

“What a big bird!”

"What a fat cat! It's fatter than Zhang Mama's big orange cat!"

"Snake? Its eyes are so pretty!"

The children surrounded the little bird, the cat bug and the little white snake.

The three pets released from the spiritual sea beast control space were not panicked at all.

They had already heard it clearly in Qiao Bai's spiritual sea beast-controlling space.

Qiao Bai also asked for their opinions before releasing them.

Little Crow looked at the children who were looking at it with shock, awe, desire and joy, and raised its head with a smug look on its face.

╭(╯^╰)╮

That’s right!

Birds are awesome!

It spread its wings, revealing the golden-red part under its black feathers.

The children, who had never seen such extraordinary creatures, once again let out bursts of exclamations of surprise.

“So handsome!”

“I want a big bird like this, too!”

"Big brother, it's awesome to have such a pet!"

Xiao Wu: That's it! Praise! Keep praising! Compared to Xiao Wu, the treatment of the cat, cat and bug is much more miserable.

“So fat!”

"Yes! I'm really fat!"

"It's fatter than the big orange one!"

Xiao Wu: (▼皿▼#) Not fat!

Benlong is not fat at all!

A bunch of little brats who don’t know how to appreciate things!

hateful!

"It has horns on its head. Doesn't it look like a cat?"

"There's no long tail either!"

"And it has six legs!"

"Wow! Six legs!"

"Pointy ears, this must be a cat! Well... it's a disabled kitten!"

Children's ideas run wild.

They didn't know much about dragon-attributed supernatural creatures. Zhang's mother had two contracted pets, both of which were civets, and there were many wild kittens nearby, which led them to firmly believe that the catworm was a kitten.

CatMiaoMushi: o(▼皿▼メ;)o I'm really angry! I'm even angrier than before!

It’s fine to just spread rumors that it’s fat.

Now I have even mistaken its species! I am so angry!

hateful!

It wants to take one bite of a child!

Awoo——! "Cluck, cluck, cluck——"

The children surrounding the cat and cat looked at the cat and cat's cute and fierce expression. None of them were afraid and they laughed even more happily.

"Kitten, cute!"

The little white snake is treated better than cats and insects.

Although it's not as good as Xiao Wu.

After all, they are cold-blooded animals.

Doesn't seem that approachable.

Some timid children didn't dare to gather around the little white snake, but some children were directly attracted by the little white snake's invincible beauty.

Led by Cai Cai, a little girl holding a brown teddy bear doll, seven or eight children surrounded the little white snake, touching it one by one in a very fair and just manner.

The little white snake didn't react much.

He yawned lazily with his mouth wide open.

What? Being touched is humiliating?

Feel sorry.

The little white snake didn't have any such thought in his mind.

Touch it, touch it.

Touch it as you like.

Just don't wake the snake up and let it continue hibernating.

Yes.

As the temperature changes.

The little white snake now wishes he could sleep for 25 hours a day.

From time to time, Qiao Bai would pull her up and train her, which was an unacceptable torture for the little white snake.

Now he was just lying here being touched by a bunch of kids.

Their movements were still very light.

It doesn't affect the snake's sleep at all.

Sheshe likes this kind of activities! Others can see through the various aspects of human life, but Qiao Bai can see at a glance what his three children are thinking.

Each one of them left Qiao Bai speechless.

What is this, the beauty-loving narcissistic bird, the lard-blindfolded cat, and the lazy reincarnated snake?

Why are their personalities so weird? Qiao Bai refused to admit that he had any reasons for this.

Obviously, he has always been a normal person.

Very normal.

He doesn't have any of these bad habits!

Just when Qiao Baidong was thinking about it, someone suddenly pulled the hem of his clothes.

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Huh? He looked down.

It was Caicai, the little girl who first ran over to ask him questions and exposed Nan Xiaohua's past.

Cai Cai held her precious teddy bear doll, raised her head and tried her best to look into Qiao Bai's eyes, and whispered: "Big brother, Cai Cai has something to tell you."

Qiao Bai bent down and looked into the eyes of the little girl Cai Cai: "Okay, little girl Cai Cai, what do you want to say?"

"Hmm..." Facing the close-range attack from Qiao Bai's face, Cai Cai, who already had the most basic understanding of good-looking at the age of 7, couldn't help but look away. Qiao Bai asked gently again, and Cai Cai came back to her senses and said in a deliberately low but still crisp voice: "Is big brother very powerful?"

"Can big brother save Dandan?"

Qiao Bai: “?”

"Dandan?" Qiao Bai's face showed obvious confusion: "Cai Cai, can you explain it in more detail?"

What eggs? Pet eggs? Qiao Bai thought it was unlikely.

The Civet Cat Welfare Home is just an ordinary welfare home. It is impossible for any extraordinary creatures to give birth to cubs nearby, and no one would send pet eggs here.

The orphanage is full of children whose ability to awaken has yet to be determined.

Children who have awakened their potential as beastmasters will leave the orphanage.

Children who do not have the qualifications for awakening will also leave the orphanage when they reach the corresponding age, that is, eighteen years old.

So Qiao Bai couldn’t quite understand what the eggs the little girl was talking about were.

"I found the egg in the small pond." Cai Cai leaned close to Qiao Bai's ear and whispered to Qiao Bai alone as if she was sharing a secret.

Listen and listen.

Qiao Bai's expression gradually became serious.

What is the transparent egg that seems to breathe, flashes, and sometimes emits a faint blue light that was found while playing in the small pool? Qiao Bai looked at the little girl again.

kindness.

A lot of adjectives are used.

And it was consistent with his initial impression of the girl.

Quirky.

Brave.

When everyone else was unfamiliar with him and didn't dare to talk to him, the little girl Cai Cai was the first to rush over.

I contacted this person who discovered the unknown "egg" but didn't tell anyone...he is really brave.

"Cai Cai only told me about this, right?" Qiao Bai confirmed again.

Cai Cai nodded: "Yes! Cai Cai only told big brother!"

"Big brother, can you save Dandan?"

"Cai Cai feels like her balls are dying!"

"There's nothing Caicai can do." Caicai's voice was a little low, and her hands holding the teddy bear tighter. Then Caicai looked at Qiao Bai expectantly, "But big brother is very powerful. Sister Xiaohua said that big brother is the most powerful beastmaster! The most powerful professor!"

"So big brother can definitely save Dandan, right?"

Qiao Bai held his forehead with his hand.

He is really brave.

It's also really good at keeping secrets.

Although she was at the age when her desire to share was the strongest, the girl managed to keep it a secret and didn't tell anyone.

He is a man who can accomplish great things.

besides.

Was Nan Xiaohua's past exposed by the little girl Cai Cai again? Qiao Bai was still a little curious, did Nan Xiaohua admire him so much?

It’s clear that he and Nan Xiaohua didn’t have much interaction when they were children, right?
