The first hint of dawn was just breaking on the horizon.
dappled sunlight filtered through the paper-covered wooden windows, casting shallow patches of light on the floor.
Yan Yu opened his eyes.
He didn't get up immediately, but lowered his head, his deep eyes tracing the image of the sleeping little girl in his arms.
She slept soundly, her soft breaths falling evenly on his firm chest like a feather gently brushing against him, instantly calming all the restlessness in his heart.
The first light of dawn illuminated her small, fair face, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, trembling gently with her breath.
Yan Yu's gaze softened unconsciously, his eyes following her smooth forehead down to her pillow.
At this moment, Xiao Bai was lying sprawled out, sleeping in an extremely unrestrained posture.
Its fluffy silver tail covered its round belly, rising and falling with its breath, making one want to reach out and pinch it.
The man's thin lips curved slightly, almost imperceptibly.
He carefully lifted the blanket, his movements so gentle that he made no sound.
But as soon as he moved...
A sharp gaze suddenly shot over from the direction of the pillow.
Xiao Bai, who had woken up at some point, was now sitting upright on the pillow, her dark purple beady eyes filled with vigilance as she watched his every move warily.
Yan Yu ignored it, dressed himself, and quietly got out of bed.
His hand had just touched the door latch.
With a "whoosh" sound.
A white shadow flashed by and landed steadily on his shoulder.
Little White held tightly to his clothes with its two little paws, still firmly remembering the supreme instruction that Ruan Tang had given through the power of the contract before going to sleep last night—this was the future male master, the male master who would accompany the master for all eternity, and they should get along well!
Hmph, since he is the male master, it is necessary for it to observe him carefully before forming a contract, and to test his character on behalf of the old sect leader!
Yan Yu didn't stop walking, as if he had tacitly agreed to this special "overseer," and the man and the beast went out together.
At the well in the courtyard, Yan Yu lifted the well cover and drew a bucket of cool well water.
He had just poured it into the washbasin when a small bowl, about the size of his palm, was brought over.
Following the bowl, you can see that Xiaobai is holding her own special little bowl with a serious expression, waiting for him to pour her water.
Yan Yu expressionlessly scooped a bowl of water for it, placed it on the stone table, and then began to wash himself.
Little White, squatting on the stone table, washed its face in a very professional manner. It then touched its furry belly with its little paws and miraculously produced a cylindrical object, along with a miniature toothbrush and cup.
This was specially made for it by the puppet granny, Ruan Tang. The round tube contained teeth whitening powder specially made for Xiaobai.
As Yan Yu brushed his teeth, he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye as it skillfully squatted by the tree, mimicking him by holding the toothbrush with its little paws and brushing its teeth with utmost seriousness.
Yan Yu's eyes darkened. This little thing was indeed extraordinary.
After washing up, Little White waved its little paw, and the water droplets on the utensils instantly evaporated, before it was put back into its "storage pouch".
Yan Yu's lips curled into a faint smile.
The power of space.
That's interesting.
Little White jumped back onto his shoulder and followed him into the kitchen. Then, it jumped down on its own and squatted on the small stool specially prepared for it in front of the stove, looking ready to show off its skills and start a fire for its owner.
Yan Yu understood; it seemed that the little girl's "ideological work" last night before going to bed had been very effective.
He didn't speak, silently washing the rice and chopping the vegetables, his movements fluid and graceful.
He glanced at the stove briefly as the water in the pot began to steam.
"call--"
A tiny purple arc of electricity flashed, and the firewood in the stove was instantly ignited. The fire grew from small to large, quickly and evenly covering the entire bottom of the pot.
