Qiao Sang froze at those words and looked out the window.
"What's wrong?" The old woman couldn't understand Xia Bao, nor could she read Qiao Sang's reaction.
"My pet beast says the rain outside has no negative energy. All the plants are happy." Qiao Sang looked away from the window and glanced at Xiaoyulai, her expression complicated.
Xia Bao could sense nature's emotions. Even without going outside to feel the rain, he could immediately tell whether the plants were happy. She had never doubted his senses.
If the plants were happy now, then the rain wasn't merely free of negative energy. It might even be full of joyful energy.
After all, every rainfall lately had been full of negative energy. She had assumed the people and pet beasts of this country were all emotionally repressed, leaving Xiaoyulai with mostly negative emotions to absorb.
She had just barged in and made Xiaoyulai so angry. Yet the rain Xiaoyulai brought down could still be full of positive energy...
That really was incredible...
The old woman stared at Xia Bao, then turned to Xiaoyulai with a questioning look.
Xiaoyulai looked back at her.
"This rain wasn't your doing?" the old woman asked.
Right. The rain might not be Xiaoyulai's doing. If it fell naturally and carried no negative energy, the plants would be happy too... Qiao Sang thought.
"Xiaoyu."
As that thought crossed her mind, Xiaoyulai nodded.
Still unconvinced, the old woman went to the window, opened it, and held out her hand.
Rain fell onto her palm.
As if sweet dew had reached her heart, her features relaxed into a delighted smile.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure teleported beside her and curiously held out a paw.
A moment later, his expression relaxed too, and he looked delighted.
*So it really is Xiaoyulai's rain.
