Chapter 44: The White Ten

Chapter 44

When Baby Dumpling heard that Lu Shu could be her mount, she was overjoyed at first but soon a bit disappointed: "Lu Shu, you're too big. I'm so little now I can't get on you at all."

Lu Shu said, "That's easy to fix, I'll just get a little smaller." After a flash of white light he promptly shrank down several sizes, and a saddle magically appeared on his back.

Seeing the now pony-sized Lu Shu, Jiang Yuqing was so surprised her mouth fell open. After a long pause she said, "Lu Shu, you're so amazing!"

"Of course," miniaturized Lu Shu was absolutely adorable, the kind that could slay you with cuteness. Jiang Yuqing immediately started petting him, utterly delighted.

"Master, please give me a name! I don't have one yet!"

Jiang Yuqing asked curiously, "Isn't Lu Shu your name?"

Lu Shu shook his head, "Of course not. Lu Shu is the name for our entire tribe, we Lu Shu are an ancient primordial beast clan."

"I see," Baby Dumpling smiled awkwardly. These spirit beasts were too clever, hard to handle. What to do? Please advise, it's rather urgent.

Lu Shu could also see that the realm master of this place wasn't too reliable.

Besides, the name Bai Xiaoshi, while not exactly elegant, was still quite cute. After thinking it over he reluctantly accepted it.

Doctor Qiu didn't expect that in the short time he went to fetch water, his apprentice would return with a beautiful deer beside her.

Doctor Qiu walked around the strange beast twice, it was a deer right? It should be, horses don't have antlers.

But this deer was also too beautiful, its antlers looked like mutton-fat jade, he wondered what medicinal effects they might have...

It had a long mane around its neck, and faint golden markings on its body.

Deer blood and venison were health tonics, and there was deer whip... Oh, this one looked female, so no whip.

Bai Xiaoshi suddenly felt a chill run through his body. He turned his head to see the lecherous old man ogling the area between his hind legs, seemingly regretful.

That roving gaze, looking him up and down, it was like he wanted to take him apart!

Angrily Bai Xiaoshi let out a loud "Yo-yo" at him.

But his voice was too melodious, the old man didn't feel threatened at all, in fact he looked even more delighted, "Oh-ho, quite the temper on this little thing!"

Bai Xiaoshi spat at him. The world instantly fell silent.

Bai Xiaoshi held his head high triumphantly. Let's see, let's see! If I don't put you in your place, you really will take advantage of me.

Jiang Yuqing hurriedly handed her master a handkerchief, then sternly admonished Bai Xiaoshi, "Bai Xiaoshi, don't be so rude. He's my master. He's family, don't treat him like that!"

Bai Xiaoshi refused to back down, "Who told him to look at me with such lecherous eyes, like he wanted to take me apart!"

Jiang Yuqing also knew her master's bad habit. She smiled wryly and placated him, "Master has been a doctor all his life, he's a good person, just has some... occupational afflictions. Don't take offense, I promise you he won't do it again."

Bai Xiaoshi harrumphed, which counted as agreeing.

Baby Dumpling also didn't know how to explain Bai Xiaoshi's background to her master. Besides, she would be studying medicine under him for a long time, it was hard to keep many things hidden.

Moreover, Doctor Qiu treated her like his own family, he was an elder who could be trusted. She didn't plan on deceiving him either. Findd new stories at novelhall.com

So, Baby Dumpling was very candid, "Master, he's my friend, Bai Xiaoshi. Don't bully him in the future."

Moreover, with this deer, his good daughter would no longer have to worry about wanting a donkey.

This deer was not only beautiful, but bold, with exceptionally high combat ability. With just one kick, it could defeat the white tiger Bai Xiaojiu who had tried to drive it away.

Able to defeat even a tiger, dealing with common thieves should be no problem.

There was now basic protection for his daughter's safety when she traveled, so Jiang Dad felt reassured.

Most importantly, the deer was beautiful, a fitting match for his precious daughter.

The little girl, little deer, plus the little tiger, three little cuties, simply heart-meltingly adorable.

It had to be said, the solemn and proper Jiang Wenyuan in front of others was a hidden cuteness-holic in private.

After her brothers went to sleep at night, Jiang Yuqing still decided to tell her parents about the deer's origins to keep them informed.

"Dad, Mom, Bai Xiaoshi is my spirit beast, and I'm the realm master of Hibiscus Spirit Realm."

"What's Hibiscus Spirit Realm, is it the immortal realm?" Jiang Wenyuan asked his daughter.

Jiang Yuqing also couldn't explain exactly, she thought for a bit then pointed at the lotus on her forehead, "It's in here!"

The couple was instantly startled. Jiang Wenyuan grabbed his daughter and anxiously asked, "You mean it's in your brain?"

Jiang Yuqing thought about it, then nodded and shook her head, "Yes, and no.

It's a world that belongs only to me, my heritage. Right now my body is still small, I can only enter with my consciousness. When I turn three my body will be able to enter too!"

"Is it harmful to your body?"

Jiang Yuqing shook his head: "No. Don't worry. Bai Xiaoshi is just a Lingjing artifact spirit, an ancient mythical beast Lu Shu deer. It is very powerful.

Because we planted sweet potatoes and gained merit, it was able to come out early and meet me."

Baby Dumpling turned his head to Bai Xiaoshi and said, "Bai Xiaoshi, they are my relatives. Say hi!"

Bai Xiaoshi let out a "Yo" sound, which served as a greeting.

It also told everyone that from today on, it would be part of this family.

The family welcomed the appearance of Bai Xiaoshi with great enthusiasm.

The children had longed for a mount they could rely on, and now they could rest assured.

It was the golden autumn eighth month. When the villagers began harvesting the rice in the fields, the rice in the Jiang family's thousands of acres of fields had also ripened.

The autumn wind blew, stirring up surging waves of rice, rolling pieces of gold, rising and falling one after another, very spectacular.

Gold is the color of joy, the color of auspice.

The stalks as tall as a grown man's waist were full of half-chi long ears, about three times as long as ordinary grains.

The grains on top were dense and plump, heavy and rare. It amazed people.

Many of Jiang's long-term workers were old farmers who had farmed all their lives. They had rarely seen such good grains. They loved it so much that they wished they could sleep in the fields.
