Tang Yu did not bother with that bunch. After returning home, he first gave the stupid fox a knock on the head.
"Why did you hit me?"
"What did you call me just now?"
"Sur... Master."
"If you hadn't been stirring things up, would they have come to make trouble at our house? Being my maid every day has left you feeling resentful, huh?"
"No, no. My heart is filled with nothing but gratitude."
Spring Lake hurriedly raised a hand and swore. She had learned that line from Tang Yu as well. After living with him for a while, she had picked up quite a few strange sayings she had never heard before.
Tang Yu chuckled, lifted her onto his lap, and began rubbing her fluffy ears and tail. Her sleek fur felt wonderfully soft beneath his hands.
"Ah, Mao Mao transformed herself too perfectly. She didn't even keep her beast ears. It's missing something."
Stroking Spring Lake's beast ears, Tang Yu sighed over his own little gold-devouring beast. Once he finished up here and went back, she might have broken through again.
"Just what is your background? I don't see any true essence in your body, yet you beat cultivators without hesitation. You even keep spirit pets at home? Don't tell me you came from the Beast Taming Sect, where your family has cultivators but you yourself can't cultivate?"
Spring Lake was already cackling inwardly. If that were true, it would be hilarious. Born into a cultivation faction, yet unable to cultivate—a useless good-for-nothing. Hahaha, no wonder this brat was so twisted and gloomy.
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Tang Yu grinned and pinched her ear. "The spirit pet at my home isn't in the same league as you. Have you ever heard of the Nine-Tailed Jade Fox?"
