Chapter 288 The Little Beast Stealing Fruit
The little beast in front of me must have gone too long without food; it was so thin it was just skin and bones. It had big eyes, and many striped scars on its back, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Roar!"
The little beast growled, wary and defensive of her approach, baring its teeth and claws in an attempt to scare her away!
"Little one, have some more."
Xuan Li felt no fear; on the contrary, her affection for him grew even stronger.
The woman's gaze was so gentle; the kindness she radiated caused the little beast to involuntarily retract its sharp claws, and its voice began to whimper, "Woo woo..."
It carefully took two steps and hovered at her feet.
Xuan Li reached out and hugged it, and the little guy didn't resist, just snuggled into her arms.
Xuan Li said gently, "Don't be afraid, be good."
The woman's hand on its forehead seemed to have a magical power; under her soothing touch, the little animal's fear slowly dissipated.
Its claws lightly hooked onto Xuan Li's sleeve, its body hidden under the wide sleeve, only revealing a pair of eyes that resembled those of a wolf cub.
Xuan Li got up and sat back down at the table.
Looking at the little beast that had been so ferocious just moments before, now so docile, Tiger Girl couldn't help but sigh, "This little beast looks fierce, but actually, it's just a means of self-protection."
It must have suffered a lot.
Tangyuan accidentally witnessed this scene and immediately exploded!
"Squeak!"
Kaiju!
You stole my master!
The glutinous rice ball stopped eating and ran to the table, trying to pounce on Xuan Li and bite it, but Xuan Li quickly pressed down on its forehead, saying, "Glutinous rice ball, don't bully it."
"Squeak..."
Tangyuan's eyes widened in disbelief at first, then instantly filled with tears. Dejected, she lay down, squeaking softly.
You don't want me anymore... You don't want me anymore...
Seeing its pitiful state, Xuan Li found it somewhat amusing and reached out to pat its head. "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
The little guy turned his head away awkwardly, refusing to look at her.
Xuan Li had no choice but to coax the fox, "Our cutest Tangyuan, it's so pitiful, you, as the older sister, have to take good care of your little sister, okay?"
younger sister?
Tangyuan looked at it with disdain, snorted, and turned its head away.
It doesn't want it!
Meanwhile, the woman and her group entered the auction house.
Xue Yunhan carefully searched the auction house with her phoenix eyes. When she looked in Xuan Li's direction, she spotted a familiar figure in her arms.
She strode over, slamming her long whip on the table. "Hey! Give this beast back to me right now!"
This action not only attracted the attention of everyone on the first floor, but also drew the attention of many elderly people who were secretly meditating with their eyes closed.
Xuan Li looked up at her, then glanced at the whip on the table. The familiar patterns on the whip sent a chill down Xuan Li's spine. She asked, "Is it your contracted beast?"
Xue Yunhan wore a fiery red cloud dress, and her makeup was exquisite and perfect, making her look like a peony blooming in a flower garden, very eye-catching.
She scoffed, "A contracted beast? This kind of animal that even beggars on the street wouldn't want is worthy of being my contracted beast!?"
"Give it back to me right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Not a contracted beast?
Xuan Li shielded the small beast in his arms with one hand, "Since it's not your contracted beast, why should I give it to you?"
Xue Yunhan sneered, "This beast is wild and untamed. It bit me and dared to run this far. Why should I have it?"
"Bite you?"
Xuan Li seemed surprised.
She looked down at the small animal in her arms. "Did you bite her?"
"Woooooo~"
I don't......
Although Xuan Li couldn't understand what it was saying, she could clearly see a feeling of grievance in its eyes.
She then turned her gaze to Xue Yunhan, looking her up and down, but found no signs of being bitten.
Xuan Li had some doubts.
This person... could they just be making up an excuse?
The little guy can't fall into her hands.
She said, "You said it bit you, so I'll pay for your medical expenses, how about that?"
Xuan Li's words left Xue Yunhan speechless, "You'll pay? Let's not even talk about whether you can afford it or not, do you even think I need it?"
"Give it to me right now!"
Are there really any good people out there these days?
Xuan Li felt a surge of impatience. "I said, if it's not your contracted beast, then I won't give it to you."
"No?"
Xue Yunhan rubbed her cheeks and laughed, "Alright, alright, you've got guts."
"Somebody come!"
"Since this young lady is so kind, please invite her to my residence for tea, and while we're at it, tell her about the incident where her pet bit me."
"Yes!"
The guards behind her quickly stepped forward, intending to grab Xuan Li.
But where is this?
Hanxi Auction House!
Tiger Girl was standing quietly in the back, pretending to be invisible, when she never expected that this woman would try to take her young lady away!
How could she not know what drinking tea meant?
He definitely wasn't holding back a fart!
Tiger Girl straightened her back and stepped forward. "Stop! Fighting is prohibited inside Hanxi Auction House. Are you going to ignore the rules?"
The two servants looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Who doesn't know the rules of Hanxi Auction House?
But they dared not disobey the young lady's orders!
Xue Yunhan glanced at Huya and said sarcastically, "This outfit...you're a waiter at Hanxi Auction House, aren't you? What? Does Hanxi Auction House need to lick someone's boots like a dog?"
