"Don't cry, Langbao, Mommy's here!"
Zhong Jingyi quickly picked up Xiao Langbao, who was crying again, and held her in her arms, gently and patiently coaxing her: "Sister is here with you. Don't you like sister? Let sister play with you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinyan quickly stepped forward, came to Xiao Langbao, reached out and pinched his little face, then held his little hand, and, imitating her mother, coaxed her younger brother:
"My dear Langbao, I'm here. I'll protect you. I won't let those bad guys hurt you!"
Whether that dream-eating tapir is a good guy or a bad guy, as long as it bullies her younger brother, Xiao Xinyan will definitely not let it get away with it!
But this time, it seemed she couldn't help either. Little Langbao closed her eyes tightly and cried very loudly, as if she had been pulled into a barrier, unable to see the people around her or hear any sounds around her.
In this situation, a tiny baby will inevitably feel scared and uneasy, and the only way to express their emotions is by crying.
And the cause of all this is the Baku, also known as the "Guardian of Infant Dreams".
At this moment, it seemed to have completely turned evil, and the mist surrounding it turned into the color of ink, which continued to spread and gradually enveloped Xiao Langbao...
"It doesn't taste good!"
"Not enough to eat!"
The dream-eating tapir roared angrily, and its body began to swell, becoming twice its original size.
Xiao Xinyan seemed startled by this scene, staring wide-eyed at the Dream Eater.
It was already quite ugly, but after its body grew bigger, it seemed to become even uglier.
"It's all because of you, crying and crying, crying and crying! You've polluted my dreams, give me back my delicious dreams!"
The Dream Eater roared at the wailing little Langbao, then transformed into a ball of black light and attacked the human cub with extreme ferocity.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Xiao Xinyan's mind went blank for a moment, with only one voice echoing in her head—
It must not hurt my brother!
Xiao Xinyan didn't know how to deal with this thing that only she could see, so she could only use her body to shield Xiao Langbao, trying to protect her younger brother by sacrificing herself.
Her actions seemed a bit strange to Zhong Jingyi, but Zhong Jingyi didn't have time to think about it and was busy using all her skills to coax Xiao Langbao.
At the same time, the black mist transformed from the dream-eating tapir, carrying endless malevolent energy, attacked at an ever-increasing speed.
Xiao Xinyan could sense the surging murderous aura, and her heart trembled. She instinctively closed her eyes.
But she stood firmly in front of her brother, without flinching in the slightest.
At the critical moment, a loud "bang" was heard as the bedroom door was kicked open, startling Xiao Xinyan. She opened her eyes and saw the little white cat she had picked up on the way rushing in.
Its speed was also extremely fast, and it pounced directly towards the black mist that the dream-eating tapir had transformed into. In its rapid leap, it seemed to turn into a ball of white light, which shone brightly under the bedroom light.
"Meow—!!!"
The little white cat meowed at the black mist and then charged at it.
It made a loud bang, like the sound of heads colliding.
Seeing this, Xiao Xinyan unconsciously raised her hand and touched her forehead, as if she were feeling the pain herself.
After being bumped by the little white cat, the black mist dissipated, and the dream-eating tapir reappeared, returning to its original size, seemingly unchanged except for a large, red bump on its forehead.
It winced in pain, tentatively touching the large lump with its paw, its eyes filled with fear and wariness as it looked at the little white cat with its fur standing on end, and muttered something under its breath:
"How can there still be such powerful spirit beasts in the human world today?!"
"Meow! Awooooo—"
The little white cat stood in front of Xiao Xinyan, clenching its teeth and letting out a warning whimper. Its dark blue eyes gleamed with a cold light that sent chills down the spines of the dream-eating tapir.
The dream-eating tapir, unwilling to back down, bared its teeth, seemingly trying to scare the little white cat away.
Unexpectedly, the little white cat became even fiercer.
"Waaaaah..."
It roared like a tiger, and all its fur stood on end, making it look even more like a fluffy ball.
As if intimidated by the white cat's aura, the Baku's aura weakened significantly, and the light surrounding it gradually faded, as if something had left it.
The once blood-red tapir seemed to have been transformed in an instant; its erect ears drooped down, and it became docile.
Xiao Xinyan noticed that at this moment, the Dream Eater finally had a bit of a mascot feel to it.
What's going on?
Just then, the little white cat, whose fur had been standing on end, returned to its usual docile state. It turned around and walked to Xiao Xinyan's side, rubbing against her feet affectionately, before easily leaping onto the bed.
The little white cat crept up to the crying little Langbao, curled up into a ball, lay down beside him, and gently placed a small paw on his leg.
Suddenly, a miraculous scene unfolded.
Xiao Langbao suddenly quieted down, looked blankly at Zhong Jingyi whose eyes were red, then turned his little head to look at Xiao Xinyan who was full of worry for him. After a moment, he smiled at his older sister.
Xiao Xinyan was taken aback at first, then smiled.
My little brother is so cute because he never cries or makes a fuss!
In an instant, the world seemed to become peaceful.
