Chapter 65: The Little Beast Moves In
Chapter 65: The Little Beast Moves In
...
Man and beast stared at each other, both silent.
Seeing the hurt look in the little black beast's eyes, Lu Qing fell silent.
He hadn't expected that the little guy would hide up there.
And from the looks of it, it had probably been waiting there all night.
"Little guy, have you been waiting here all night?" Lu Qing asked after a long silence.
The little black beast didn't move, but the hurt in its eyes only deepened.
"...I'm sorry, I had something to do last night and wasn't home," Lu Qing said.
"...", The black beast still didn't move, but tears began to well up in its eyes.
Seeing the black beast on the verge of tears, Lu Qing felt a strange sense of guilt.
If he remembered correctly, this little guy was still just a cub, right?
And, come to think of it, it was also his creditor.
After all, he had accepted a hundred-year-old ginseng from it without giving anything in return.
"How about...you come in with me?" Lu Qing asked tentatively. "I still have some fish left in the kitchen."
Seeing that the tears in the little beast's eyes seemed to have lessened, Lu Qing opened the door and went inside.
When he came out after putting Xiao Yan to bed, he saw the black beast sitting on a stool, watching him.
Lu Qing smiled and went to the kitchen. He poured all the remaining fish into a wooden basin and brought it out, placing it in front of the little beast.
The black beast's eyes lit up at the sight of the basin filled to the brim with fish.
It pounced on the fish and started gobbling them up.
Its earlier hurt was forgotten.
Seeing the black beast eat happily, Lu Qing couldn't help but smile as well.
Come to think of it, this little guy was quite something.
Even though it had been hungry all night, it hadn't broken into the house. Instead, it had waited patiently on the roof.
This showed that it truly regarded him as a friend.
Otherwise, with its sense of smell, how could it not have detected the fish in the kitchen?
Breaking in would have been easy if it had wanted to.
Seeing the beast so engrossed in its meal, Lu Qing didn't disturb it. Instead, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Although he had made breakfast for his master and the others at the halfway courtyard, he hadn't eaten yet himself.
He heated up a pot of porridge and added some minced meat, letting it simmer while he took a shower.
He had been making medicine for the past two days and had sweated a lot, and with the smoke and fire in the pharmacy, his body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
After his shower, Lu Qing felt refreshed. However, he was surprised to see that the black beast hadn't left immediately after finishing the fish.
Instead, it was sitting on the stool, leisurely licking its paws and washing its face.
There was still quite a bit of fish left in the basin on the ground.
Unbelievable! Lu Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.
This was the first time he had seen the black beast leave any fish behind.
Every time he fed it, it would always finish every last bit.
Even if it ate until it was stuffed, it would never leave any fish uneaten.
This time, he had put out twice the usual amount of fish, and the little guy had finally been unable to finish it all.
But even so, Lu Qing was still astonished.
"Little guy, when do you plan to leave? I'm about to wake Xiao Yan up for breakfast," Lu Qing said.
He knew that apart from himself, the black beast didn't seem to like interacting with other people.
Usually, it would only come to eat fish at night after Xiao Yan had fallen asleep.
However, to his surprise, the black beast acted as if it hadn't heard him and jumped onto a cabinet in the corner, curling up and falling asleep.
Lu Qing: ...
"Should I really go and wake Xiao Yan up now?"
Chapter 66: A Strange Friendship Blooms
The little beast remained unmoving.
Lu Qing found its behavior odd.
"If you want to stay, that's fine, but if Xiao Yan sees you and gets overexcited, you mustn't hurt her." Lu Qing warned, then went into the room to wake Xiao Yan.
After urging the sleepy Xiao Yan to wash up, Lu Qing brought out the porridge he had prepared.
As she drank her porridge, Xiao Yan was still half-asleep. She drank her porridge absent-mindedly, her unfocused gaze wandering.
Slowly, her eyes narrowed in focus, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother, what's that?"
Xiao Yan pointed at the black figure on top of the cabinet and asked eagerly.
"That?" Lu Qing looked up and saw that the little beast still hadn't moved. "That's the little black beast that you want to see every night but never get to."
"That's the little beast?!"
Xiao Yan was so surprised that she jumped off her stool. She scurried over to the cabinet and looked up.
But she was too short, and from that angle, she couldn't see the black beast on top of the cabinet.
Xiao Yan was so anxious that she began pacing in circles.
Then she had an idea and ran back to the table to grab a stool, planning to stand on it to get a better view of the little beast.
Lu Qing saw her and quickly stopped her.
"Don't disturb it, or it might scratch you."
The black beast didn't like being talked about like that.
It stood up, stretched lazily, and then meowed softly at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan immediately lit up, "Brother, look! The little beast said it won't scratch me!"
Lu Qing: ...
That wasn't what he had heard.
However, he could sense the little beast's friendliness towards Xiao Yan.
After thinking about it, he decided not to stop Xiao Yan from interacting with the beast.
After spending time with the little beast, Lu Qing knew that it was highly intelligent, not much different from a human.
Since it was taking the initiative to be friendly, it probably didn't dislike Xiao Yan.
"Alright, then you two can be friends." Lu Qing said.
Then he turned to the little beast and said, "Little one, remember, don't bully my little sister."
The black beast gave Lu Qing a disdainful look, jumped down from the cabinet, and walked up to Xiao Yan, gently rubbing its head against her hand.
Then it turned to look challengingly at Lu Qing.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed. She excitedly shouted at Lu Qing, "Brother, the little beast wants to be friends with me!"
Lu Qing saw the proud look on the black beast's face.
Oh well, this little guy was deliberately showing off.
However, he was relieved that the two of them could get along, and he smiled at Xiao Yan, "Since that's the case, you should be good friends with it. It's very powerful, so don't anger it, okay?"
"Don't worry, brother, I won't!" Xiao Yan replied happily.
The black beast was pleased to hear Lu Qing praise its strength, and its eyes showed its satisfaction.
These two-legged creatures had good eyesight to recognize its power.
"Little Beast, can I touch you...?"
From then on, it was a time for the two little ones to interact and chat.
Seeing that they were getting along well, Lu Qing didn't interrupt.
When he saw that Xiao Yan had almost finished her porridge, he began to clear the table and wash the dishes.
As soon as he finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Yan ran into the kitchen.
"Brother, brother, let's give the little beast a name!"
Happy New Year's Day to everyone, and there will be another chapter tonight!
