"stop--!"
Bai Hao grabbed the excited girl who was about to jump up again and asked with a serious expression,
"Tell me, how did you become human?"
He hadn't had much contact with demonic beasts, but he knew a little about them transforming into humans. Generally speaking, demonic beasts could transform into human form once they reached the Knowledge and Action Realm.
But he didn't remember Xiao Jin having the cultivation level of the Knowledge and Action Realm, and there was no sign at all. How could it suddenly turn into a human? He was completely unprepared.
"Hmm..." The girl pondered, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I don't know either. Just now, I tried my best to fly upwards as before. This time, I jumped higher than ever before and landed in the clouds above. I didn't see any Dragon Gate, but somehow, I suddenly turned into a human."
Seeing her blank, clueless expression, Bai Hao could only sigh softly.
It's probably because this guy's bloodline was too strong, so he naturally turned into a human, without even being prepared for it.
"Can you change back now?"
"Hmm..." The girl tried hard to find the feeling she had when she was still Jinlin, but she couldn't change back.
"It seems... I can't..."
In the end, nothing came of it. The girl blinked innocently and looked at Bai Hao.
The latter was also out of necessity.
He can't turn back into a golden scale, which means he has to take Little Golden Scale down with him and explain how she came to be.
"What's with those two horns on your head? Can't you put them back?" Bai Hao caught a glimpse of the small horns on Xiao Jin's head out of the corner of his eye.
"Huh? What horns?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin raised his hand and touched the top of his head, feeling your two horns.
"Hey, it's true! I have horns on my head! But why don't you have any, Hao?"
Touching the horns on his head, and noticing that Bai Hao didn't have feet on his head, Xiao Jin wasn't surprised, but rather curious.
Why do I have horns on my head, but Bai Hao doesn't?
Is it my problem, or Bai Hao's problem?
“This horn of yours… might be a sign that you’re becoming a true dragon.” Bai Hao also carefully examined the horn on Xiao Jin’s head. It was only about two inches long and was different from the horns of cows, rhinoceroses, and deer that he had seen before. Maybe this really was a dragon horn…
He didn't know either, but he could only try to appease Xiao Jin like this for now.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin's pretty face lit up with joy, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Really? Could it be that I can really turn into a real dragon?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Bai Hao nodded and assured him.
"Very good!"
A captivating glow immediately lit up Xiao Jin's pretty face, and in her excitement, she jumped onto Bai Hao again.
After transforming into a human, Xiao Jin no longer smelled of golden scales, but rather possessed a pure, delicate fragrance that a young girl should have, as sweet as flowers, constantly wafting into Bai Hao's nose.
"Alright, alright, don't get so excited. Why do you keep jumping on me?" Bai Hao suppressed her inner turmoil and tried to pull Xiao Jin off her, but Xiao Jin's arms clung tightly to her neck, refusing to come down.
"No, you're so warm, I don't want to get down."
"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? You're a girl, you should learn to respect yourself." Although Xiao Jin wasn't heavy, in fact, she was quite light, and it felt wonderful to be held by her, was he really that kind of person?
He is not.
"What does 'men and women should not touch each other' mean?" Xiao Jin looked confused again, clearly she had never heard of this saying before.
"The meaning of 'men and women should not touch each other' means that men and women should maintain a certain distance and not have excessive direct contact. They should also observe etiquette," Bai Hao explained patiently.
"What are men... women...? And what is etiquette?" Xiao Jin still looked puzzled.
I totally don't understand.
Bai Hao: “…”
Speechless.
He didn't know how to explain it anymore; Xiao Jin was even more naive than a child, and didn't understand anything.
Is it because it was always a fish before...?
Just as Bai Hao was thinking about how to explain to Xiao Jin, a voice rang out, a mixture of surprise, astonishment, disbelief, and a sudden surge of gossip.
"Brother Bai, what's going on here...?"
In a short span of time, Fan Ziming's expression changed several times. Looking at the little gold dog clinging to Bai Hao, he winked at Bai Hao and said,
"Did I come at the wrong time? I'll excuse myself for a bit. But you have to be careful in a place like this, Brother Bai, it's freezing cold."
"stop!"
Bai Hao stopped Fan Ziming speechlessly, "Things aren't what you think. In short, it's a bit complicated, but it's definitely not what you think. Don't go spreading rumors!"
For a moment he didn't know how to explain, and in the end he could only make a vicious threat.
"Yes, I absolutely won't say anything!" Fan Ziming immediately assured him, cooperating perfectly.
What do you want from me?
"Um, the sect leader has come out," Fan Ziming said after a moment's hesitation.
"The sect leader has come out?" Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, and then a lot of things flashed through his mind.
"Well, it wasn't the sect leader who sent me to find you. I just came to let you know. But I'm afraid I'll have to leave now, I'm sorry to bother you..."
"roll!"
Bai Hao was speechless.
He hasn't figured out how to explain this misunderstanding yet, and he still needs to figure out how to settle Xiao Jin's situation.
"Get down..." He looked expressionlessly at Xiao Jin, who was still clinging to him.
Seemingly sensing that Bai Hao's aura was not good, Xiao Jin obediently got down, stood to the side with her head down and didn't say a word, like a child who had done something wrong.
At this moment, she was only wearing a hazy gauze dress, which looked very thin in the cold wind. Her bare feet were red from the cold as she stepped on the ground.
With a helpless sigh, Bai Hao took off his cotton coat and draped it over her shoulders.
The latter looked up in surprise, feeling the warmth on her body. She unconsciously tightened her cotton coat, wrapping herself up tightly.
"These clothes smell like Ah Hao, they smell so good."
Bai Hao: “…”
He said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, come down the mountain with me. From now on, you'll listen to whatever I say and do whatever I tell you to do, understand?"
If Yang Xi can't turn back into Golden Scale now, Bai Hao has no choice but to take her back. He can't just leave her here alone, can he?
I can take her back with me and teach her some basic human common sense and etiquette.
Teaching one thing... Bai Hao's head ached just thinking about it.
"Mmm." Xiao Jin nodded emphatically. "I'll do whatever Ahao asks me to do from now on. I'll definitely listen to Ahao."
These words sounded a little strange to Bai Hao, like a creepy old man trying to trick an innocent little girl.
This feeling is awful...
