Chapter 162
Before he even reached the kitchen, he had already spotted the culprit.
The chubby, dark culprit was squatting on the kitchen counter, licking its fur while yelping in pain. "Meow--!!!"
Shi Wen realize that the screaming creature was none other than White Tiger.
This guy probably climbed down the chimney, covered in soot, and then coated in chili sauce.
The chili sauce must have irritated its skin. It stuck out its tongue and tried to lick it clean, but the spiciness made it unable to close its mouth. At this moment, it was staring at Shi Wen and Yan Kexing with teary eyes, howling in pain.
While it was howling in pain, it couldn't stand the chili sauce on its body, so after it calmed down a little, it continued to lick it, and then howled again.
Shi Wen was taken aback by its persistence and was momentarily stunned.
Shi Wen recalled the first time she saw it; it poked its round little head out from under the ceiling.
Its appearance wasn't this tragic back then.
In just two days, a White Tiger that might have awakened the Divine Beast Bloodline has now turned into their family's big cat covered in chili sauce.
I Shi Wen what Xing Mingyue would think if he saw this scene.
The White Tiger squatted on the kitchen counter, watching Shi Wen and Yan Kexing. Seeing that the two didn't move, it meowed even more pitifully. "Meow!"
With a shout, the White Tiger walked with its legs spread wide, its gait splayed outwards, struggling towards Shi Wen and Yan Kexing.
Shi Wen initially didn't want to touch the dirty big cat, but seeing this scene, she couldn't help but worry and bent down to look. "Is it hurt?"
Yan Kexing looked at the White Tiger and curled the corner of his mouth. "Felines seem to have a habit of licking their butts."
Instantly Understanding Shi Wen: "..."
Shi Wen at the White Tiger with its teary eyes, and then at its tail held high, not daring to touch its rear end, Shi Wen couldn't help but say, "Curiosity killed the feline."
Chapter 162
The White Tiger's cries were so pitiful that all the little ones stood at the doorway watching.
Shi Wen turned to look at the little guys; even Brown Ox Laibao and Big Horse Shi Suo had come over to join in the fun.
Heiwa and the Wolf King seemed to understand what had happened, and their gazes toward the White Tiger were filled with sympathy.
The others were just curious, especially the little snow leopard, who was both curious and excited, peeking in from the doorway and even trying to come inside.
Shi Wen quickly turned around and called out to the little snow leopard, "Don't come in."
The little snow leopard paused, crouched outside the door, and softly meowed at Shi Wen, "Meow?"
Shi Wen, "Being cute won't work, Heiwa and Wolf King. You two should take your friends and leave now, don't join in the fun."
Heiwa: "Woof!"
Wolf King: "Awoo!"
After the little ones left, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing cleaned the White Tiger.
They first used a rag to wipe the chili sauce off the White Tiger as much as possible before they started washing it.
Tigers are among the creatures that prefer water, and White Tiger also love water and don't resist taking baths.
During this season, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing dared not bathe it with cold water, fearing it would get sick, so they brought over warm water in a basin.
Chili peppers are very irritating to the skin. Washing with cold water is okay, but washing with warm water makes the White Tiger feel even more scalded.
Neither Shi Wen nor Yan Kexing could control it.
The little ones outside heard it and, without anyone noticing, started peeking over to see what was going on.
The big black dog, Fu Wa, still had obvious worry in its eyes, and its expression seemed hesitant to speak.
Shi Wen said irritably, "We're just giving it a bath, we don't intend to kill it, don't worry."
Fu Wa softly barked, "Woof!"
After being washed, the White Tiger was so spicy that its eyes were watering, and it looked listless, but it kept trying to lick its skin.
Shi Wen touched the White Tiger's skin and felt a crunchy texture, so he said, "Strange, it should have been washed clean, but is it still spicy?"
The White Tiger cried out, "Meow!"
Yan Kexing: "Capsaicin adheres very well; it won't come off by washing like this. Bring some oil."
Shi Wen, "What kind of oil should I use? It seems like I don't have enough hair oil."
Yan Kexing: "Cooking oil will do, I'll go get it."
The cooking oil they use is blended oil, which has almost no odor.
The White Tiger is not averse to cooking oil.
Shi Wen and Yan Kexing took a bowl, poured out some cooking oil, and gently scrubbed the White Tiger's skin.
This method worked, White Tiger quickly calmed down.
The two of them scrubbed it from head to toe, not even sparing its bottom.
The White Tiger was completely subdued after being washed, losing all its mischievousness.
After washing the White Tiger, Shi Wen took it to the drying room and left it there alone to wait for the warm air to dry it slowly, while he went to throw away the gloves that had been used to wash the White Tiger's bottom.
Yan Kexing cleaned the house.
The area of damage caused by the White Tiger was quite large, and there was a lot to clean up.
However, since we usually do a thorough cleaning of the house before the end of the year, it's a good time to do it now, so it's not a big deal.
The two of them worked for more than two hours and almost finished cleaning the house.
Shi Wen to pick up the White Tiger and even poked White Tiger nose to give it a lecture.
The White Tiger had been licking its lips with its pink tongue, but now it didn't even dare to bark. It tucked its paws in and obediently squatted next to Shi Wen.
It knew it had caused trouble and dared not be arrogant anymore.
Shi Wen didn't do anything to it, but Cong Zai was very unhappy and beat it three times a day for several days in a row.
The White Tiger could only obediently accept it, and Shi Wen didn't speak up for it.
The little snow leopard was extremely pleased with itself after seeing the White Tiger get beaten up, and it's been walking around with a swagger these past two days.
Cong Zai looked like he wanted to beat it up too.
The snow leopard cub behaved itself before Cong Zai could act rashly, thus avoiding a beating.
After Shi Wen and Yan Kexing cleaned up the house, they also renovated the ranch, refurbishing the old parts and repairing the broken ones.
After two days, the entire ranch was completely transformed.
