Rabbits Are So Cute, Garlic-Flavored Is Still Better

"Mm... I understand," Jingliu said, not pushing away Bai Heng's hand resting on her long hair, but turning her head slightly. Her face remained unreadable.

Bai Heng knew when to quit while he was ahead.

After all, he had just risked a lifetime of introversion for a single act of initiative, taking advantage of Jingliu.

Fortunately, it worked, and he wasn't dealt with by Jingliu's sword.

Withdrawing his hand, he handed the Immortality Joy Tea to Jingliu, saying, "Here, Shifu-jie."

This time, Jingliu accepted the Immortality Joy Tea from Bai Heng.

This could be considered agreement to skip sword practice at the arena today.

It could also be seen as an indirect acceptance of Bai Heng's date invitation.

However, only after Jingliu took the Joy Tea from Bai Heng did she belatedly ask, "Just... one cup?"

"Yep," Bai Heng said, scratching the back of his head, feigning ignorance, "Looks like we'll have to share one cup of milk tea."

Jingliu glared at Bai Heng with her beautiful eyes under the black veil, speechless.

It wasn't as if she couldn't see through Bai Heng's little scheme, but thinking of the corner of his mouth that she had bitten.

In the end, Jingliu tacitly approved of this behavior.

The two walked along the street, sampling many Xianzhou delicacies along the way.

There were some old shops from seven hundred years ago, like the Chengnan mung bean cake, beef pockets, and toothpick glutinous rice balls, that Bai Heng had brought back to Sword Champion Manor for her to taste.

But Jingliu couldn't remember these things... she just felt a little familiar, but that was all.

As they walked, they didn't know when, but Bai Heng took Jingliu's soft and cold little hand.

Because he held it for a long time, Bai Heng's palm was a little sweaty, but Jingliu still didn't take her hand back, letting him hold it like that.

Until they came to a stall selling exotic animals.

Jingliu stopped in front of a cage.

Inside the cage were two rabbits with red highlights in their fur.

The stall owner, a middle-aged, balding foreigner, saw that Jingliu seemed interested in the rabbits, so he seized the opportunity and said in a dramatic tone, "Oh, this lady has a good eye. These two rabbits were specially brought by me from a planet full of volcanoes in the Zeno Star System. Their scientific name is Fire-lick Rabbit, and they have a lifespan of up to five hundred years, enough to be companions for half the life of you Xianzhou people."

"Moreover, these rabbits have the effect of keeping you warm, especially suitable for people who are cold. I think the lady seems to have a slight symptom of this."

The stall owner's eyes were sharp, and he was vigorously promoting his rabbits.

But Jingliu ignored him, not even saying a word.

Seeing this, Bai Heng stepped forward and looked at the two snow-white Fire-lick Rabbits with red highlights in the cage.

He had been to many planets before and had seen this kind of rabbit. The specific data showed that it was similar to what the stall owner described.

However, he concealed the fact that Fire-lick Rabbits were prone to premature death, with a lifespan limit of 500 years, but an average lifespan of only about a hundred years.

"Can you let them out for me to see?" Bai Heng asked the stall owner.

At this time, Jingliu finally spoke, "No need."

"It's okay, Shifu-jie, I'll just take a look," Bai Heng signaled her to wait a moment, and then asked the stall owner to continue.

The middle-aged balding man was also quick.

Seeing that there was hope of selling them, he immediately took the key to open the cage.

The two Fire-lick Rabbits were very well-behaved, still huddled in the corner after the cage was opened.

However, this situation may also be due to the poor health of the Fire-lick Rabbits, so they lost their vitality.

In order to verify the condition of these two Fire-lick Rabbits.

Bai Heng reached in and gently stroked the fur of the Fire-lick Rabbit, and then carefully checked the condition of its eyes and mouth.

The result was that the two rabbits were estimated to be three or four years old, and they were still healthy, but their eyes revealed a hint of fear.

If they were kept locked up for two more days, they might become depressed.

Finally, Bai Heng tried to pry open the little rabbit's legs and took a closer look.

Oh, two little female rabbits.

Now there was no problem.

"How much?" Bai Heng asked.

As soon as Bai Heng started asking the price, the excitement on the stall owner's face was hard to hide. He opened one of his big hands and said, "Five hundred, a total of only five hundred Credits for the two in this condition!"

"Give me the bottom price," Bai Heng said, his expression unchanged.

Hearing this, the stall owner's smile deepened as he rubbed his hands together, saying:

"450 Credits... How does that sound, esteemed customer? This is already the cost price. I wouldn't sell it for this price to anyone else. It's just that I feel a connection with you, a sense of fate, otherwise I definitely wouldn't sell it at such a low price."

Seeing this smooth little sales pitch, Bai Heng said calmly:

"A flat price of 100 Credits per Fire-lick Rabbit. That's the average selling price of Fire-lick Rabbits in most star systems. If you brought them from the Zeno Star System, given that place's financial system, one Fire-lick Rabbit probably wouldn't even be worth 5 Credits, right?"

Hearing Bai Heng's words, the stall owner was slightly taken aback, thinking, How did I run into an expert?

"This... 100 Credits each... Fine, 200 Credits it is, I'll just make a small profit." He sighed. 200 Credits was indeed an acceptable price for him.

But if he didn't sell them, and these two Fire-lick Rabbits really got sick, he might not even earn back 10 Credits.

"Do you accept credit point payments?" Bai Heng asked.

The stall owner squeezed out a smile as best he could, saying:

"Yes, yes, I do."

After the transaction was completed, Bai Heng picked up the two Fire-lick Rabbits, intending to put them both in Jingliu's arms.

At this moment, Jingliu removed the black veil that covered her beautiful eyes, saying:

"You... you're quite the bargainer."

Seeing this, Bai Heng didn't answer her question immediately, but instead asked:

"Master, isn't your black veil used to suppress the Mara-Struck? Is it okay to take it off?"

Jingliu blinked her watery, beautiful eyes and shook her head slightly, saying:

"Seeing things that remind me of the past does make me more susceptible to the influence of the Mara, but it's only for a little while, so it's fine."

Bai Heng stared at those deep rose-like, gorgeous eyes, and didn't say anything more.

Instead, with a smile, he gently placed the Fire-lick Rabbits in Jingliu's arms, saying:

"Here, Master, they're all yours now."

The two Fire-lick Rabbits could feel the chill emanating from Jingliu, but with their physique, enduring this level of coldness wasn't a problem.

In addition, the sweet, cool fragrance on Jingliu's body was not only alluring to people, but also to rabbits.

So the two rabbits were happy to rub against Jingliu's smooth skin.

At first, Jingliu was a little uncomfortable, occasionally casting pleading glances at Bai Heng.

Bai Heng was quite direct, simply giving the Fire-lick Rabbits' butts a hard pat.

Gradually, the two Fire-lick Rabbits became well-behaved. Jingliu looked at these two cute little creatures, often feeding them the snacks she bought along the way, where was the cold indifference from before?

In this way, Bai Heng suddenly regretted it.

Because Jingliu was holding the Fire-lick Rabbits, he couldn't continue to hold her hand, and even the opportunity to feed her was snatched away by the Fire-lick Rabbits.

Was this hard-won date ruined by two rabbits?

The more Bai Heng thought about it, the angrier he became, and coincidentally, he and Jingliu arrived at a shop selling roasted and braised rabbit.

Heh, just when he was looking for a place to vent his anger.

So he said to Jingliu:

"Master, since we've already saved two rabbits, why don't we save another one in here?"

Jingliu, holding the two Fire-lick Rabbits, looked at the sign for the roasted and braised rabbit shop.

The two Fire-lick Rabbits also looked at the sign.

The Fire-lick Rabbits blinked their big eyes: "??"

The bread didn't receive a gift, and cried and made a fuss, boo hoo hoo.
