"So I call it Little Black."
"Mm, to tell you apart."
"Can I call you Little White?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved into a smile.
Little White?
The Pipa ghost blinked.
"Or... if you'd like me to call you something else, anything you like is fine."
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment. "Of course, if you're used to it, I can keep calling you Pipa ghost."
After all, he'd called that other Pipa ghost Little Black.
There was no risk of confusing the two Pipa ghosts.
"Hee hee~"
The Pipa ghost shook its head.
Then it smiled, its eyes narrowing with delight.
Little White was good.
Little White it was.
Hee hee.
It had a name now.
The Pipa ghost grinned with a hint of smugness.
Lord Xiao Xiao had given it the name.
Seeing how pleased the Pipa ghost was with its new name, Xiao Xiao couldn't help smiling.
"I wonder... will you meet another Pipa ghost someday?"
Xiao Xiao was curious about what a meeting between Little Black and Little White would be like.
Just thinking about it...
Two Pipa ghosts, one black and one white.
Xiao Xiao could barely hold back a laugh.
Why did they sound so much like the Black and White Impermanence?
As they left the residential complex, the city's din washed over them.
Even in such miserable weather, the streets were still crowded with traffic.
Tires cut through puddles, spraying water in every direction.
A passerby walked a few more steps toward the roadside, looking annoyed.
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the Pipa ghost. "Little White, I'm going back to school."
"Would you like to walk with me for a while?"
"Hee hee~"
The Pipa ghost nodded without hesitation.
It had plenty of time, after all.
