238 Marital Status

Feng Huang didn't seem to mind the situation all that much. Her ruby eyes observed the jug held by Chou with obvious curiosity, until eventually, she stuck out her pink tongue, licking the remaining liquid within the bottle.

After sampling the wine, Feng Huang moaned contentedly. "Mmhm. Actually, this drink is not bad at all."

Chou sighed deeply and pinched the space between his fine eyebrows, wondering if perhaps, all females were creatures prone to foolishness.

As for 'Snowball', once the disguised Fox Spirit had previously found out that there was no food involved in tonight's menu, he had simply made himself comfortable by resting upon Bao Li's chaise. He disregarded the ongoing conversation, and allowed the girls to blabber about whatever silly talks they wished.

That had been the case for most of the night, up until the moment Her Ladyship's subordinate had begun to pitifully cry.

Unnoticeable to all the rest, Bai Yu's furry ears had previously perked up at the sound of Bao Li's mournful declaration regarding her marital status. Since then, he had started eavesdropping on the girls' conversation.

In the meantime, Bao Li grabbed Li Meirong's wrists with fake tears streaming down her puffy cheeks. "You ruthless girl, using your pets to fight against this old woman, hmph! Gimme back my drink!"

Li Meirong shook her head, and even that small movement made her grow dizzy, "That's not going to happen."

"You're so mean! Why are you so mean?"

"Yes, I'm a big meanie. What are you going to do about it?"

"You!"

"Listen," Li Meirong sighed. "I'm trying to make sure we won't wake up with a hangover." She felt exasperated as she tried to reason with a drunk Bao Li.

"What is a hangover, anyway? And why do you have three pets? That's far too much for one cultivator to handle. You should give me one as a friendship gift." Bao Li presented a tactful proposal.

"I actually have an extra one. It's a Mushroom Spirit… Do you want it?" Li Meirong smiled as she suggested in a light hearted manner.

Bao Li suddenly gasped aloud, cupping the sides of her cheeks in bewilderment, "Y-you have another pet?! Unbelievable." In spite of her awe, she tried her luck again at acquiring the cute looking fox that she had sought after for so long. "I don't want the mushroom. I want Snowball."

"No." Li Meirong said with finality. Her smile subtly stiffened. "Snowball is mine. I will never give him away."

"Then…" Bao Li hiccuped a few time more, and gradually,stopped crying as she pondered over the matter for a breath of time, seeing as there was no longer any room for an argument, "How about you breed him already? I'll adopt his babies!"

At the sound of Bao Li's ludicrous proposition, the Fox Spirit began coughing uncontrollably.
