    Chapter 87 Night Raid on the Research Institute

    Just like now, watching Xie YunChuan pick up a piece of fallen biscuit and eat it, he didn’t feel anything wrong. He just threw himself into Xie YunChuan’s arms, pointing at White Tiger Cub and saying, “Dirty… ChuanChuan… wash!”

    White Tiger Cub’s heart was utterly despondent. What about it? It was dirty? Xie YunChuan could pick things off the ground to eat, and that wasn’t dirty?!

    Although it knew that Xie YunChuan and its little master would always treat others differently, it couldn’t help but sigh that the world was not worth it.

    It was all Xie YunChuan’s fault, that damned man, corrupting its pure and adorable little baby.

    Xie YunChuan patted Luo Shuyou’s little head. “Alright, baby. Stay away from it for the next few days. White Tiger Cub is sick and can’t bathe every day.”

    White Tiger Cub just watched Xie YunChuan slander it to its face. Instantly, it couldn’t take it anymore, running to Xie YunChuan’s feet to claw and bite.

    You’re the one who’s sick! Your whole family is sick!

    Xie YunChuan shot it a glare, and White Tiger Cub felt a naked threat. Reluctantly, it stopped moving.

    Pitifully, it lay down to one side, knowing that Luo Shuyou disliked it now. From time to time, it looked at Luo Shuyou with its wet, round eyes.

    Luo Shuyou didn’t want to hug the unwashed little ball, nor did he want the little ball to be sad, and even less did he want its condition to worsen. Rarely, a dilemma appeared on his tender face.

    Xie YunChuan couldn’t bear to watch. He gave White Tiger Cub a warning look and said, “Alright, stop acting pitiful. Missing two meals won’t kill you.”

    Now, in the end of the world, everyone skips meals. Only White Tiger Cub, having such a good owner, eats and sleeps as it pleases every day. Who has it better?

    White Tiger Cub roared inwardly: Do I care about those two bites of food? What I care about is, why does you, that damned man, bully a tiger like this, especially after the tiger has worked so hard for you?

    Seeming to understand its accusations, Xie YunChuan, thinking that he would need White Tiger Cub in many places in the future and shouldn’t offend it too much, peeled a candy for Luo Shuyou, placed him on the bed, and told him not to run around.

    Then, turning his back to Luo Shuyou, he pulled White Tiger Cub to the outer room, trying to reason with it.

    “Do you know what you did wrong?”

    White Tiger Cub raised its head defiantly, snorting through its nostrils, thinking: I don’t know!

    Seeing it like this, Xie YunChuan knew that it didn’t realize its mistake at all. He painstakingly said, “Do you know why I don’t let Shuyou eat human flesh?”

    White Tiger Cub: What else could it be? You can’t bear to part with your dear compatriots!

    Xie YunChuan asked the question that had puzzled him last night: “Aren’t you able to cleanse corpse poison? Why don’t you use your ability on Shuyou? Don’t tell me you don’t know about Shuyou’s abnormality.”

    White Tiger Cub could even find and eliminate the latent corpse poison in Lu Yunzhou’s body, so how could it not know about the strangeness in Luo Shuyou’s body?

    White Tiger Cub’s head lowered, “Woof~! I can’t beat it!”

    Seeing White Tiger Cub’s ashamed appearance, it didn’t seem like it didn’t know about the virus in Luo Shuyou’s body. Xie YunChuan very considerately thought: It was probably some special situation that prevented it from treating him.

    Language was a barrier, and communication relied entirely on guesswork. However, judging from White Tiger Cub’s rich and varied expressions, it was certain that White Tiger Cub not only understood what Xie YunChuan was saying but also made its own nonsensical embellishments.

    Xie YunChuan had a headache. White Tiger Cub could understand his human language, but he couldn’t understand White Tiger Cub’s beast language. Like a chicken talking to a duck, no reliable conclusion could be reached after a long discussion.

    After explaining his guesses and concerns to White Tiger Cub one by one, regardless of whether it understood or not, Xie YunChuan concluded: “In short, don’t ever feed Shuyou human flesh again without permission. If I find out again…”

    Xie YunChuan’s eyes turned gloomy, and a thick killing intent came over him, the threat directly assaulting White Tiger Cub’s skull.

    White Tiger Cub suddenly felt a chill and hugged its tiger skin tightly, “Woof~! That’s terrible! It feels like Xie YunChuan could shatter its body and scatter its energy with one punch in the next second…!”

    It, a species without life, was actually subjected to a threat to its existence that it shouldn’t have been subjected to!!?

    Was there any justice in this world?

    Couldn’t we have talked it over properly? If you had told me nicely that Little Master couldn’t eat human flesh, wouldn’t I have listened? Humph! You had to threaten a tiger’s life.

    Xie YunChuan, believing that he had negotiated properly, decided to be merciful and let White Tiger Cub off this time. With a flick of his finger, a powerful stream of water washed over White Tiger Cub’s entire body and then swept away without leaving a trace. White Tiger Cub’s fur immediately became fluffy, soft, and brilliantly white.

    The full and satisfied Luo Shuyou sat obediently on the bed, swinging his legs and eating candy, watching the friendly exchange between Xie YunChuan and White Tiger Cub through the door frame.

    Luo Shuyou nodded approvingly. Not bad, not bad. They were both Shuyou’s beloved ones, and Shuyou was very happy that they could be harmonious and loving.

    Seeing Xie YunChuan suddenly washing White Tiger Cub, he anxiously ran over, grabbed Xie YunChuan’s hand, and babbled, “No… no wash… sick… sick.”

    Xie YunChuan used his ability to wash so quickly that there was no time to stop him. By the time Luo Shuyou saw him and ran over to grab him, it was already done.

    Xie YunChuan held his shaking hand and said, “Alright, I just checked, White Tiger Cub is all better.”

    Luo Shuyou stopped moving, looked at the little ball, and then at Xie YunChuan. Huh? It’s better so quickly?

    Luo Shuyou’s little head couldn’t process it, but if ChuanChuan said it was better, then it must be.

    Luo Shuyou had a kind of blind confidence in Xie YunChuan, especially now that his brain wasn’t working well and he was confused about many things, so whatever Xie YunChuan said was what he believed.

    Late at night, this time Xie YunChuan didn’t dare to leave Luo Shuyou with White Tiger Cub again. Although it was a bit of a hassle, he still dragged his family along to sneak into the research institute.

    Inside the research institute, watching White Tiger Cub suddenly run to him like a shining lighthouse, Xie YunChuan smiled wryly, supporting his forehead. All this hiding along the way was a joke. With its fluffy white fur, anyone who wasn’t night-blind could see it.

    Fortunately, they hadn’t encountered anyone along the way… Well, if they had, it wouldn’t have mattered. He would have just killed them.

    White Tiger Cub’s abilities allowed Xie YunChuan to tolerate its trouble-making again and again. As long as it didn’t endanger Luo Shuyou, it could be a little mischievous.

    Hearing Xie YunChuan say that he would take it along and that this time’s mission required concealing their presence, White Tiger Cub was extremely excited. With its small size and agile movements, hiding while moving was its specialty. It was time to show off its amazing dodging skills and impress Xie YunChuan.

    Xie YunChuan was indeed impressed. He hadn’t expected White Tiger Cub to use its glowing advantage to attract attention.

    Holding Luo Shuyou’s hand, Xie YunChuan thought: My Shuyou is still the most obedient, following closely behind him, not moving around at all.

    He didn’t know that his Luo Shuyou was watching the carefree White Tiger Cub with teary eyes. Woof! Shuyou wanted to play like that too.

    Looking at his hand tightly held by Xie YunChuan, never mind. ChuanChuan couldn’t leave Shuyou, and Shuyou wanted to stay with ChuanChuan.
