Fortunately, it had just withdrawn its strength and retracted its claws. Although the slap was quite loud, it wasn't very powerful.
There wasn't even a mark left on the little guy's fair face.
Its paw pads are so soft that even if you hit it, it feels like you've been gently stroked.
The little guy thought Xiaobai was playing with him, so he immediately shifted his attention and started rubbing Xiaobai again.
Lin Xiaomei looked at the two little ones who were playing together again, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
She felt that what had just happened couldn't be a coincidence.
Anyway, Tantai Yueming had already left, and there was no one to teach them, so they simply ran off to find her second sister.
Lin Jiujiu was currently inside the house with her mother and a few others, looking at the materials.
As the weather gradually warms up, the thick clothes we wore before are becoming too heavy to wear.
Lin's mother had long planned to make a few single garments for the family, but she had been delayed by other family matters.
Now that these chores are being done by others, she has also started thinking about making clothes.
Originally, it was Lin's mother and Aunt Hu who were choosing, but Lin Yun'er only glanced at it and they picked out a fabric that was either bright red or bright green. She felt that Lin Jiujiu would definitely not like this color.
So he simply called the person over.
Lin Xiaomei, always loud and boisterous, rushed into her mother's room without even looking at who was inside, and immediately started asking questions.
"Second sister, is Little White a spirit beast? Can it talk?"
Lin Jiujiu never expected that Lin Xiaomei would be the first in the family to notice that Xiaobai was different.
But when she asked her question, he shook his head.
Seeing Lin Jiujiu deny it, Lin Yun'er chuckled and tapped Lin Xiaomei's forehead.
He laughed and said, "Little sister, are you a little obsessed with cultivating immortality all day long? Little White is just an ordinary little dog, how could you think it can talk?"
Lin Xiaomei was not satisfied with Lin Yun'er's statement, and instead looked at Lin Jiujiu with sparkling eyes.
Lin Jiujiu figured she had already told her family about her cultivation, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
So he smiled and said, "Although Little White is not a spirit beast, it can indeed talk."
The people who had just been mocking Lin Xiaomei for her wild ideas fell silent.
After a long while, Lin Yun'er finally remembered to lift her chin, which was about to fall to the ground.
"Jiu Jiu, are you serious?"
Lin Jiujiu nodded with absolute certainty.
“Xiaobai came down from the mountain on its own. It had lived with us for three years before, and I only recently discovered that it could talk.”
Lin Jiujiu offered an explanation, though she didn't lie, she didn't reveal everything either.
And she wasn't wrong to say that Xiaobai wasn't a spirit beast.
According to the little creature's own confession, its body was not obtained through possession.
Instead, it was points that I secretly accumulated while mentoring a certain host, which I then redeemed from the system shop.
Lin Jiujiu speculated that it might have harbored rebellious intentions for a long time, which is why it made preparations early on.
Just as Lin Jiujiu was thinking about Xiaobai, Lin Xiaomei had already rushed out with a "Awooo~~".
She said Xiaobai could talk, and that little thing actually tried to hide it from her.
She wanted to teach it a lesson and, incidentally, get it to say a few words to her.
After their initial surprise, Lin's mother and the others came to their senses.
They quickly reassured themselves: they're all cultivators, so what's wrong with having a talking pet at home?
Isn't that normal?
Seeing that her family members weren't frightened, Lin Jiujiu felt relieved and went about her own business.
Ever since its family found out that Xiaobai could talk, it has been hiding.
There was no way around it; whenever that little devil Lin Xiaomei caught it, she would force it to say things that would make even a fox feel ashamed.
It needs to focus on its cultivation and doesn't have time to play with that little girl.
Lin Jiujiu was just about to go back to her space to see if anything had really changed.
Then they saw a small, snow-white fox lying on the grass outside the two thatched huts.
Lin Jiujiu stepped forward and lifted the little thing up by its ears, looking rather annoyed.
How did you get in?
This space of hers is not a tiny space like a storage ring; it is directly hidden within her soul.
Even if she travels through time many times, as long as her soul remains the same, this space will not be lost.
But now, that bastard Xiaobai can easily appear in her consciousness.
Does this mean that if she's not careful one day, this bastard could destroy her soul without her even knowing it?
Lin Jiujiu's gaze grew even colder as she thought about this.
Just as he was contemplating whether to kill her on the spot, Xiaobai's cold voice rang out.
"Have you been living too peacefully for too long? Has your brain gotten muddled?"
"We are bound by a soul contract, so it's perfectly normal for me to be able to enter and exit your soul space."
What Xiaobai didn't say was that as long as Lin Jiujiu didn't die, it could be reborn in her soul space even if it died a hundred times.
Unless someone can completely destroy it, even if only a tiny bit of its energy remains, it can enter this space and slowly recover.
This is why Xiao Bai never appeared even after Lin Jiujiu traveled through so many lifetimes.
For so long, it had actually been hiding here to recover from its injuries.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiujiu's gaze darkened, as if she had thought of something.
"So, this is my spiritual space, under my control. If I wanted to kill you, wouldn't it be as simple as a thought?"
Xiao Bai froze upon hearing her words, and her previously calm expression turned flustered.
He couldn't lie there leisurely anymore and pounced on Lin Jiujiu like a whirlwind.
"No, don't think about such dangerous things. Although I'm not as strong as I used to be, I'm still very useful to you."
"Keep me here, you definitely won't lose out."
Lin Jiujiu was only testing it, but seeing how nervous it was, she knew she hadn't guessed wrong.
A hint of ill intent crept into his eyes as he looked at Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat, and she couldn't even keep the little secret she had left.
Lin Jiujiu ignored its dejected expression and asked about something else.
"What's going on with this space? And what's behind that thick fog? Why can't I see anything?"
She had obtained this space from Xiaobai, and Lin Jiujiu thought it would know.
For some reason, even though this was within her soul, she felt that a great terror lurked behind that thick fog.
Even though she had been in and out of this place countless times, she never thought of going into the thick fog.
It was as if someone in the shadows was warning her not to come closer.
Judging from Xiaobai's attitude just now, she seems to be able to control this space, but she herself feels that she cannot fully control it, especially after the thick fog.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and turned to look at the thick fog, saying with some dissatisfaction.
"This is yours to begin with. You didn't even know it, how would I know?"
