"...Your mood suddenly seemed to have improved."
Wen Xu nodded. "Yeah, I thought of something that made me a little happy."
The two entered the inner hall side by side. Wen Xu quickly noticed the little white-furred beast curled into a ball and sleeping soundly. However, he did not know much about Spirit Beasts. "A pet you bought?"
"No, Chen Zui-Zui got it for free." Compared to the sky-high price of Spirit Beast pets, the few Blood-Replenishing Pills Chen Zui-Zui had paid were practically negligible. Bian Chunchou briefly explained where the little beast had come from. "Do you think this could be the spirit treasure the Luo Household's young master lost?"
Three question marks could not help popping up over Wen Xu's head. "What spirit treasure?"
"Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you. The Luo Household came to apologize this afternoon, and they brought quite a few gifts in compensation. I put them away; the three of us can split them evenly later." Bian Chunchou pointed again at the little beast sleeping peacefully on the table. "That Young Master Luo looked like he'd been severely disciplined. He put on quite a pitiful act when he saw me, saying his spirit treasure had grown legs and run off on its own."
Wen Xu could not help shifting his gaze to the little beast on the table, its chest rising and falling faintly. Perhaps his stare was too intent, because the little beast actually woke at once. Before it could bristle, it heard the absurdly handsome man speak. "So what if it is the one the Luo Household lost? Does it have Young Master Luo's name written on it?"
Bian Chunchou slapped his thigh. "Teacher Wen, I have attained enlightenment!"
The little beast silently closed its eyes and went back to sleep.
