TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 162
by VolareChapter 162: Little White is Back Too
The instant Luo Shuyou turned around, Li Shi realized he had made a fatal mistake. The sensitive Luo Shuyou was not someone he could control.
Luo Shuyou took a few light and elegant steps, while Li Shi seemed to be trapped, frozen in place. His zombie face was impassive, but his heart trembled. He was wrong. It wasn’t that he couldn’t control Luo Shuyou, but that he, Li Shi, was the one at Luo Shuyou’s mercy.
Luo Wushang was truly bored. With Luo Shuyou’s aura, who would need to protect him?
As he got closer, in those short steps and few seconds, Li Shi had already imagined who Luo Shuyou would give his crystal core to absorb – definitely Xie YunChuan. Li Shi gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, cursing inwardly, “I’m a level five zombie now, he’s really getting a bargain!”
However, Death seemed to disdain his rotten zombie body. As Luo Shuyou passed him by, just a couple of steps away, he didn’t even spare him a glance. Instead, he held a white tiger cub in his arms, its tail high in the air, looking at him with a sidelong, disdainful glance.
Then, Luo Shuyou’s indifferent voice came from the stairwell, “You were left to me by him, I won’t kill you.” The name Li Shi was not in Luo Shuyou’s social circle, so it was very likely that “he” had left him behind. Luo Shuyou didn’t want to easily erase anything related to “him.”
As soon as the words fell, Li Shi’s body, which had been as heavy as a thousand pounds, suddenly lost its strength and collapsed. After surviving a catastrophe and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, the first thing that entered his mind was the white tiger’s contemptuous gaze. Li Shi was annoyed. Where did that damn white tiger come from? It looked delicious, hehe!
After the complete picture emerged, Li Shi patted his face, quickly shaking off the dangerous idea of eating the tiger. It wasn’t that he couldn’t eat a tiger, but that he couldn’t eat the tiger in Luo Shuyou’s arms.
The snow was about a foot thick, and each step crunched loudly, sinking in halfway, the sound especially clear in the silent dawn.
“Qiu Qiu, tell me, why is it like this when I woke up this time?” Luo Shuyou held Little White in one hand and gently stroked its head with the other, his voice low and soft, more like a self-doubting murmur.
Little White answered him. They had a contract, their minds connected. Although Little White couldn’t speak human language, Luo Shuyou could understand its beast language, “Little Master, don’t be sad, Qiu Qiu will always be with you. Let’s build a snowman.”
Little White, who had just awakened, was already impatient. Being held by Luo Shuyou and walking in the snow made its heart even more restless. But it didn’t struggle to get down, obediently letting Luo Shuyou hold and caress it. Now, it took the opportunity to express its feelings, hoping that playing with Little Master would make him less depressed and gloomy.
Luo Shuyou’s lips curved into a smile. He bent down and gently placed Little White on the ground, saying softly, “Go play.”
Little White immediately darted back and forth in the snow, frolicking and rolling around. When the snow here was messed up, it jumped up high and pressed its whole body onto the flat snow surface on the other side, imprinting tiger-shaped depressions of varying depths. After jumping and bouncing enough, Little White clumsily rolled a small snowball with its little paws, and then suddenly kicked it at Luo Shuyou. The loosely packed snowball fell apart the moment it hit Luo Shuyou, scattering on the ground.
Luo Shuyou knew that Little White wanted him to play with it. He temporarily put aside his melancholy and grabbed a handful of snow, throwing it at Little White. Not only did Little White not dodge, but it also raised its head to meet it. The snow particles scattered on its tiger face, and it shook its head excitedly, circling Luo Shuyou a few times before jumping away to roll snowballs and continue playing with him.
After playing with Little White for a while, Luo Shuyou’s depressed mood did improve a lot, and the unfamiliarity with physical activity had completely disappeared. After playing enough, the two of them began to build a snowman tacitly.
Luo Shuyou’s body was special and not afraid of the cold, and Little White was an energy body, so it was naturally unaffected by the temperature. They stayed in the snow for a long time without any worries, and unknowingly, it was already dawn. Luo Shuyou lay down next to the freshly made snowman, holding Little White in his arms. Snowflakes were falling sparsely again, slowly covering the traces of Luo Shuyou and Little White’s play, as if no one had ever stepped there.
Everything was white and vast, a silent empty city. Even though it was dawn, there was still no sound. Between heaven and earth, it seemed that only Luo Shuyou and Little White in his arms remained.
At some point, Luo Shuyou closed his eyes, and Little White, who had been small in his arms, rustled to the ground, its body growing from small to large, until it could easily encircle Luo Shuyou in its arms. Its fluffy tail gently draped over Luo Shuyou, covering his entire body, and its huge tiger head lay above Luo Shuyou’s head, blocking all the wind and snow for him.
When Xie YunChuan and the others arrived, the first thing that entered their sight was a huge creature with black and gray stripes of snow-white fluff, lying prone in the yard with its back to them. Many snowflakes had accumulated on its body. If it weren’t for the light gray stripes in the snow-white expanse, it would have completely merged with the snow.
At the first sight of such a huge beast, Gu Tangxi and the others stopped in their tracks, their bodies tensing up instantly, “What is this thing? Didn’t you say Shuyou was here?” Gu Tangxi asked Xie YunChuan.
Xie YunChuan hesitated slightly and said, “You guys wait here, I’ll go take a look.” He did sense the aura here. Although he couldn’t clearly identify who it was, only this mansion within a radius of tens of miles had aura fluctuations, and the ten-day period had arrived, so Xie YunChuan thought Luo Wushang was waiting here.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden heavy snow, Xie YunChuan and the others could have arrived a day earlier. But helpless, their flesh and blood couldn’t withstand the cold wind and snow. When the nighttime temperature dropped to its lowest point, they finally couldn’t bear the cold and stopped to set up camp, make a fire, and warm themselves.
The snowy roads were difficult to travel. Xie YunChuan and the others needed to take turns activating their abilities to clear the snow while driving forward. This delay caused them to arrive in Muyun City only at noon this day.
