Chapter 206: Little White Is the King When the Tiger Is Away
The second morning, Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia standing in front of their dorm building with Little White in her hands when he walked out with Zhao Jiayi and the guys.
They were all surprised to see Xie Yujia here.
"What's the matter, Class President? Did Little White chew on something?" Hao Ren walked over and asked. He thought she would take care of Little White for a few days since she liked it so much.
"Little White is very sweet... It's just... I can't afford to keep it anymore," Xie Yujia handed it over to Hao Ren and explained, "Last night, it ate 32 hot dogs, seven chicken legs, eight big bags of bread, and three cups of instant noodle. It finished all the food that my dorm and adjacent dorms have!"
Hao Ren looked at Little White in surprise. What a big stomach this little thing had!
Little White wagged its tail and hopped into the basket on her bike. It seemed like it didn't want to leave Xie Yujia just yet.
However, Xie Yujia didn't dare to keep it anymore so she took it out of the basket and put it into Hao Ren's hands. "This little thing has such a big appetite, and it would make a squeaky sound if we don't feed it. We had to keep giving it food because we didn't want the dorm manager to hear it. We barely slept all night."
"Damn, Little White," Hao Ren patted its head and said, "The more you get, the more you want, huh? You asked for so much food!"
Little White looked up innocently as if it was saying, "You were the one who took me out of the Snow Lotus Cave on the Sky Mountain, so you need to take care of me."
Hao Ren answered in his head, "Had I known it is so hard to raise you, I would have thought twice before taking you out of there."
However, since it was already his Spirit Beast, it was impossible to throw it away. Hao Ren had no choice but carry it in his arms. He smelled the vague but refreshing fragrance on its white fur and thought, "Did this little thing sleep on the girls' beds last night?"
"I made Little White a small bag, and it seems to like it," Xie Yujia took out a cloth bag which was the perfect size for Little White. It could stay inside with half its head sticking out.
Hao Ren smiled at how thoughtful Xie Yujia was. "Thank you very much, Class President."
With the space in the necklace, he didn't need such a bag at all. But he was still thankful for her good intention.
"I'm going to class. Take care of Little White and make sure it is well-fed," Xie Yujia reminded him before she got on her bike and headed toward the cafeteria.
"Woah! Woah!" The guys immediately kicked up a fuss as soon as Xie Yujia had left.
"Raising a pet with Xie Yujia. Such a good relationship!" Yu Rong walked over and poked at Hao Ren.
Xie Yujia was the quiet and pretty girl in class, but that didn't mean the guys didn't pay attention to her. They admired Hao Ren's technique in pursuing Xie Yujia by simply taking care of a pet with her together.
"Get out of here!" Hao Ren waved them away as he put Little White in the bag in front of his chest. Then, they headed to class.
Little White knew how to behave in class; it didn't make a sound or cause any trouble at all. Since it was a Thursday and they had a mandatory course with Su Han in the morning, the guys were all excited.
Su Han sensed Little White's existence as soon as she got into the classroom. She looked in Hao Ren's direction, and Little White was intimidated by this Qian-level Master and immediately hid its little head in the bag.
However, Su Han didn't care as long as Little White didn't harm any humans. She also didn't want to waste any time disciplining this low-leveled creature. On top of that, as her Assisting Inspector, half of Hao Ren belonged to her, so there was no need to keep such a tight eye on him.
Su Han walked out of the classroom coldly after class. Hao Ren knew for a fact that she went straight to cultivation.
Little White rolled around in the bag again to show that it was hungry.
It was noon, and Hao Ren decided to take it to Hongji Square to eat. Zhao Jiayi and the guys had no interest in little animals like Little White, so they went to the stadium to play basketball as well as check out pretty girls.
When Hao Ren got to the west gate, Xie Yujia came over on her bike as well.
"Hehe, I knew you would take Little White to Hongji Square." Xie Yujia got off her bike and walked with Hao Ren.
"It is hungry again." Hao Ren shook his head.
"I like Little White. It's just that it eats too much, and the girls in our dorm are all complaining about it. So, I had to give it back to you," she explained.
"It's ok. I don't want to cause you any trouble." Little White jumped out of the bag as soon as Hao Ren finished talking and hopped into Xie Yujia's bike basket. It circled around in there and placed the two front legs on the rim of the basket, looking ahead energetically.
Xie Yujia laughed cheerfully. Her laugh was like a summer breeze, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.
White T-shirt, simple short skirt, white socks, and little leather shoes were her usual outfit. It almost seemed like a school uniform.
Hao Ren liked this refreshing type very much. Especially when most girls nowadays were very into makeup and high-end outfits.
When they arrived at Hongji Square, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia ordered two bowls of glass noodle soups, and they order several servings of ribs for Little White. If you did the math, Little White's meal was much better than theirs.
Sure enough, the appearance of Little White attracted some of the girls' attention. They started to feed her as well. However, Little White had gotten a little picky, and she didn't even touch the things that weren't very appealing.
"It's so easy to meet girls with a puppy like this," Xie Yujia said as she ate.
"I'm not that kind of person..." Hao Ren thought it was necessary to explain why he got Little White.
Xie Yujia smiled and let go of the topic, "How's Zi lately?"
"How come you are asking about her all of a sudden?"
"Nothing. I'm just a little worried because last time she got scolded in the office."
"Oh, that's ok. She has thick skin," Hao Ren said randomly.
Xie Yujia bit her lip and asked after some hesitation, "Are you...her boyfriend?"
"More of a fiancé than a boyfriend," Hao Ren said slowly.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren, stupefied for a few seconds. Then, she kept on eating her glass noodle soup.
"Want to take Little White for a walk in the park nearby after this?" Hao Ren asked.
"Oh..." Xie Yujia's tone of voice suddenly got a lot more gloomily than before.
It was perfect sunny weather to walk a dog.
Hao Ren took Little White to the grass of the park and realized many middle-aged people were walking their dogs here as well.
It was the first time for Little White to come to a nature-like environment, and it was exhilarating. It hopped out of Xie Yujia's basket and rolled around in the grass.
Although it was a Bin-level Spirit Beast, it was still an animal that was half a year old. It had been living in the gloomy Lotus Cave and had never seen anywhere with grass and trees like this.
Xie Yujia couldn't help but smile at Little White. Even some of the girls stopped as they passed by since they really wanted to hug Little White.
Little White stretched out its little legs and sprang on the relatively spacious area as all the other dogs stared at it.
Suddenly, Little White noticed a piece of yummy barbeque pork in front of a big black wolfhound. It dashed over without thinking.
"Come back Little White!" Xie Yujia shouted out, worried.
That wolfhound was six or seven times Little White's size. It showed an angry and violent look even though a man was holding onto its leash.
However, when Little White got in front of the big wolfhound, all it did was putting its little paw on the meat, and it made the wolfhound backup in horror, howling. If it weren't for the leash, it would have dashed away!
Little White slowly ate the piece of barbeque pork.
Xie Yujia was astonished yet Hao Ren had already assumed this would be the case. The Bin-level Spirit Beast was a Bin-level Demon Beast before being tamed. No ordinary dog would be able to handle its strong spirit!
"Haha, Mr. Wang. You are here today too!"
"Yeah, Yeah. I'm taking a walk since the weather is nice. The Tyrant didn't want to stay at home!"
Suddenly a few middle-aged men at the edge of the grass area started to chat.
Hao Ren turned back and saw a wealthy looking middle-aged man with a large black Tibetan mastiff on the outskirt of the grass field.
Everyone knew the Tibetan mastiff was the king of dogs. Its appearance immediately made all the other dogs look down.
The Tibetan mastiff's round eyes scanned the area and fixed them on Little White, who was slowly eating the piece of meat.
Little White completely ignored the Tibetan mastiff - it didn't even lay its eyes on it.
The Tibetan mastiff had always been treated as the king, so it couldn't bear being ignored like this. It stepped towards Little White with the strength strong enough to pull its owner forward.
"Whose puppy is this? Hurry up and take it away! Our Tyrant has some problem with it!" the wealthy-looking middle-aged man shouted as he pulled his Tibetan mastiff.
"Go pick Little White up, Hao Ren. Otherwise, she's going to get hurt by the Tibetan mastiff," Xie Yujia said, again worried.
It wasn't that she didn't want to do it herself. The fact was, she was scared of the large Tibetan mastiff too.
"Get the puppy out of here! Our Tyrant is getting mad!" The middle-aged man kept shouting. It seemed like he had always been this arrogant since he had a Tibetan mastiff as his pet.
The black Tibetan mastiff growled as he showed his teeth, drooling.
Hao Ren walked in on the grass as Little White was still chewing on the meat. The puppy seemed cute but on the other hand, dull.
Before Hao Ren could get to Little White, the Tibetan mastiff's patience had reached its limit. It broke off the leash and bit towards Little White.
The owner of the Tibetan mastiff looked calm - he probably thought even if his Tyrant killed the little white puppy it wouldn't cost him much money. As an expert in dog breeds, he knew that although the white puppy looked cute, it was not of any rare pure breed.
Little White made a nifty turn and avoided the attack just before the Tibetan mastiff's teeth got it. It sprang towards the grove on the side.
The Tibetan mastiff could withstand this. It whipped away the leash completely and followed her into the grove.
Xie Yujia shouted immediately, "Hurry! Hao Ren! Get Little White out of there!"
She dashed into the grove regardless of the danger of getting bit by the Tibetan mastiff herself.
The Tibetan mastiff barked, and Little White whimpered.
People in the area couldn't see what the situation in the grove was and they all thought Little White was whimpering out of pain. They believed there was no chance for her to survive the Tibetan mastiff's attack.
A few seconds later, the Tibetan mastiff and Little White came out of the grove before Hao Ren and Xie Yujia could get in there.
Little White walked in front with her head up and the Tibetan mastiff named "Tyrant" followed him, with its head down. There was even a little scratch on its cheek!
They could already tell who the actual king between them was!
The Tibetan mastiff's owner looked at them in surprise. His Tibetan mastiff always fought other breeds due to its violent characteristic and had never lost one fight. Even though he had to pay a lot of money for the fights, it satisfied his false pride to a large extent.
But...the Tyrant lost to a tiny mix-breed puppy today?
And the puppy's hair looked perfectly smooth. There was not even a wound on it!
Hao Ren secretly laughed at how surprised the middle-aged man was, "You are kidding! It would be funny if a Bin-level Spirit Beast lost to a Tibetan mastiff!"
Little White was even too lazy to transform for the fight. Otherwise, its actual size of one meter alone would be able to scare the Tibetan mastiff to death!
Little White ran to Hao Ren as it waggled its tail like a normal puppy as they got out of the grove.
Hao Ren took out a little piece of meat and threw it to her as a reward.
Little White didn't get enough of this and wanted to bully the Tibetan mastiff even more. It marched over and reached out its paw.
The Tibetan mastiff, who had always been arrogant at others, slightly lowered its head to allow Little White's paw to land on its forehead.
The wealthy-looking middle-aged man almost collapsed at this scene! "What kind of creature is this? It could make the Tibetan mastiff lower its head!"
Others, including the girls on the edge of the grass, were all astonished!
"Woof, woof!" Little White got all cute again after another round of bullying. It hopped into Hao Ren's arms.
"Damn puppy..." Hao Ren thought as he didn't even want to see her as a snow lion anymore.
Suddenly, Little White wobbled in Hao Ren's arms and jumped back onto the grass all of a sudden.
Hao Ren looked at it, worried, as he thought Little White was feeling uncomfortable. But it wobbled its bum and dashed into the bush beside the grove.
Xie Yujia laughed with her hands covering her mouth. "It finally wants to do its business after eating so much."
Hao Ren looked serious as he remembered Little White was just waggling her bum in his arms...After wandering around the bush for a while, Little White marched back out to Hao Ren with its little bum waggling, feeling relieved. It ran to Hao Ren and hopped into his arms again.
"Damn you, Little White! You pooped in the bush!" Hao Ren examined her bum and found it relatively clean. Then, he patted its head and threw it into Xie Yujia's bike basket.
Xie Yujia pushed the bike and walked with Hao Ren to the west gate of the school.
But none of them noticed in the bush beside a pile of dark gold poop, several peony flowers were sprouting, growing, flourishing, and blossoming in just a few seconds! This was beyond the natural law!
