The moment the little thing was released, it darted to the corner and curled up into a ball, its two little paws tightly protecting its tiny spot.
Tantai Yueming clicked his tongue in amazement repeatedly.
"The pet that Madam Lin keeps is very intelligent."
But in his heart he was thinking that none of the spirit pets in the cultivation world seemed to be like this before they gained sentience.
You still know how to be shy?
Lin Jiujiu hadn't paid any attention at first, but after being reminded by Tantai Yueming, she realized what was going on and couldn't help but glare at Xiaobai.
However, Xiaobai, who was caught up in self-doubt at this moment, had no time to look at her expression.
The little head was pressed against the wall, and the little shoulders were trembling, clearly indicating that the child was sad and shedding tears.
Lin Jiujiu felt both relieved and amused looking at it like that.
But we can't let it go on like this. Tantai Yueming and the others are not people I care about and have little to do with.
But there are still many people working in her family. If they see this and it gets out, who knows what will happen?
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, Lin Jiujiu filled a large basin with hot water and placed it in the corner.
"Hurry up and come in for a bath. After you're clean, I'll make you a little outfit to wear."
Upon hearing that she wouldn't have to be naked anymore, Xiao Hou immediately stopped crying and wanted to ask, "Is it really true?"
But Lin Jiujiu shot him a sharp glare.
It then remembered that there were other people in the yard besides her and the little bean.
The words that were about to come out could only be turned into a series of "howls" like a fox.
Tantai Yueming looked at the little creature that had jumped into the water and murmured to herself.
It turns out it's a little fox, not a puppy. No wonder it's so smart.
Lin Jiujiu did not explain that whether Xiaobai is smart or not has nothing to do with what breed it is.
Just as she was about to wash the little thing herself, she was pulled up by someone.
Then, Baili Chenyuan naturally took over her position.
He also added, "It's a male, so it's not appropriate for you to wash it."
Lin Jiujiu was dumbfounded by his words. It was true that Xiaobai was male, but they were different species. Did he think he was worried that she had some kind of idea about this little thing?
As Lin Jiujiu thought this, she felt a chill and goosebumps rose all over her body.
He glanced at Baili Chenyuan again. Since he liked it, he decided to let him do it.
Since she had promised Xiaobai that she would make him a little outfit, Lin Jiujiu had no intention of lying to him.
It just so happens that her mother made a new outfit for everyone in the family today, planning to wear it when they move into the new house. There should be plenty of scraps of fabric in the house, enough to piece together.
As Lin Jiujiu was thinking this, she entered the house.
When Lin's mother heard that Lin Jiujiu was going to make clothes for Xiaobai, she was also very curious.
It wasn't that she felt sorry for the scraps of cloth, but rather that in all her years, she had never heard of a dog wearing human clothes.
However, if my daughter is happy, then let her be.
After all, she had heard from Xiaodouding that Xiaobai had taken good care of her and her son in the past, so it was only right to make her a set of clothes.
Lin Jiujiu picked and chose, and finally selected a large red piece of fabric that looked festive. She measured it with her hand and estimated that it was enough to make a whole outfit for Xiaobai, so she decided to use it.
Lin Jiujiu spread the cloth scraps on the table, rolled them out flat with her hands, and then started cutting.
Lin's mother was also surprised by her quick movements.
Lin's mother knew that she had not lived well in the Lin family in the capital and had not cared about her. She guessed that no one had taught her needlework, and originally thought that she would make this little dress for her herself.
Watching her daughter's nimble movements, Lin's mother couldn't help but tear up again. How many times must she have done it to become this skilled?
At this moment, Lin's mother cursed the Lin family in the capital from head to toe in her heart.
This family is truly despicable. They not only swapped their own daughter for their own daughter to shield her from disaster, but they also showed no gratitude whatsoever, treating her child like this.
Unfortunately, his family were all poor peasants, so they couldn't even stand up for their daughter.
Lin's mother was both angry and heartbroken, but Lin Jiujiu was completely focused on the piece of cloth in her hands and did not feel the loving gaze from her mother beside her.
She once traversed a small world where she worked in this field, so making a pet garment like this was a piece of cake for her.
Lin's mother was clearly overthinking things.
As expected, Lin Jiujiu did not disappoint Xiaobai, and soon she picked up a small dress and went out.
When Xiaobai was dressed in a small garment similar to a hoodie from later times, it happily spun around a few times. Then, it looked at its chubby little paws and hesitated for a moment before finally deciding not to jump down.
Instead, she stared at Lin Jiujiu with her big, watery eyes.
Lin Jiujiu originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but then she thought that since the clothes were already made, a few more little shoes wouldn't make a difference.
Soon, two pairs of strappy little shoes were slipped onto its little paws, and the happy little fox jumped off the table and frolicked around Lin Jiujiu.
In fact, Lin Jiujiu didn't dislike Xiaobai as much as she thought.
Although he did treat her ruthlessly when they first became a couple, he still developed feelings for her as they traversed countless small worlds together.
Just like the time she was caught by the main god, it was because she failed her mission and was on the verge of death. Xiao Bai infiltrated the main god's system to steal points to help her exchange for a chance to start over, which is why the main god caught her by following the clues.
Despite their usual mutual hatred, the two were actually quite loyal to each other at the last moment, voluntarily breaking their contract to save themselves from disaster.
Although she suspected that Xiaobai had other plans when she saw it again, she couldn't deny that she wouldn't have been able to escape from the God of God for so long if it hadn't betrayed her.
Even so, Lin Jiujiu still maintained her vigilance and remained wary of Xiaobai.
After it had finished running around, Lin Jiujiu kicked it far away again before asking the little bean.
"Mommy, we're going to the county town. Do you want to come along and have fun?"
Lin Jiujiu had noticed a few days ago that the child seemed to be preoccupied.
I initially thought that kids are just forgetful and that they'd probably be fine on their own in a couple of days.
But seeing the little guy's brows furrowing more and more, Lin Jiujiu felt that she was not doing a good job as a mother.
That's why I went out to look for him just now.
Since I was going to the county town to run errands anyway, I decided to bring the little guy along so he could relax and clear his head.
When the little boy heard that they were going to the county town again, his eyes lit up.
He hadn't forgotten the sugar figurines and pastries he'd had in the county town last time.
Although the food at home has been good these days, the sweet and cloying taste is what the kids love most.
Before the little bean could even nod, Lin Xiaomei rushed over and grabbed her arm.
"Second sister, I want to go too, please take me with you."
