She searched the house one more time, but still did not find Little White. Ling Chuxi grew increasingly more panicked. If Little White was caught by others, that would be really bad.
"Little White, Little White, where are you?" she called out desperately, but there was no reply.
Running to the window in a panic, Ling Chuxi was just about to leave to search for Little White when she heard a pitter-patter. When she turned around, she saw Little White standing on the table, looking at her with its head tilted. At once, her panic and worry turned into a pleasant surprise.
"Little White, where did you go?" She ran forward and cuddled Little White in her arms before lifting it up and fiercely kissing it. "You scared me to death. If you are no longer around, what would I do?"
Little White shook its ears lightly and moved its snout forward, licking Ling Chuxi's face.
"So ticklish, haha. Alright, let's go to bed."
Hugging Little While, Ling Chuxi snuggled under the blanket and cuddled it to sleep.
The next morning, Shi Qu Town was in an uproar. The fact that something had happened to Qin Nanfeng of the Qin family and Luo Qiying of the Luo family was a big deal.
Qin Nanfeng's right arm had been ruined by someone, thus halting his cultivation. As for the Luo family's Luo Qiying, he was worse off, as he was completely ruined. Why was it said that he was ruined? Because he was no longer in his right mind, and could only repeat a few sentences non-stop. Something along the lines of, 'I was wrong, I should not have almost injured her'.
Ling Chuxi was eating the breakfast Aunt Wang prepared for her when she heard the news. She was surprised to hear about what happened to Luo Qiying. The poison she used last night should not have had such an effect.
All she wanted was to cripple the two men's arms. Why was it that Luo Qiying's outcome was more severe? That was really odd. As Ling Chuxi contemplated this, Little White sat calmly by her side, eleganty eating its own breakfast.
After breakfast, the Lan family's herbs were sent over, along with a letter personally written by Master Lan. Its contents were simple and easy to understand. Everything would go as per Ling Chuxi's intentions, and it asked her not to worry. This left her feeling happy and satisfied.
However, the person delivering the letter put a damper on Ling Chuxi's mood. Because, that person was none other than Lan Xinyu! And she actually proudly sat down in front of her without a care, and even asked Aunt Wang for breakfast with a smile.
"You are the friend of my family's miss? That's great. Don't be courteous, just eat more. The meal is a little simple, I hope you don't mind," said Aunt Wang, smiling at Lan Xinyu as she brought over a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks.
This was the first time a friend of the same gender came to visit her young miss. How could Aunt Wang not be excited?
"Aunty, you are too courteous. My name is Lan Xinyu. Aunty, you can just call me Xinyu," said Lan Xinyu. She spoke as if she was very familiar with Aunt Wang. Then, she accepted the bowl of rice and started eating.
Ling Chuxi muttered, "Hope you choke to death." She bit on her chopsticks and the corner of her lips twitched as she watched Lan Xinyu eating so happily.
'What exactly was Master Lan thinking to actually send this plaugue god over?'
Ling Chuxi harrumphed before reaching for a meat bun with her chopsticks. Just as she was about to pick it up, another pair of chopsticks also reached for the same meat bun. Raising her head, Ling Chuxi saw Lan Xinyu staring at her without the slighest intention of yielding the meat bun.
"Let go!" said Ling Chuxi, spitting out the words through gritted teeth.
"No!" growled Lan Xinyu, also speaking through gritted teeth.
"I'm going to kill you!" shouted Ling Chuxi angrily.
How dare she snatch her food like this? Lan Xinyu was practically throwing away her own life!
