'Uh 'Uh... Oh... What happened to Xiao Hei when I left?'
Tang Li Xue wanted to sneak in to see what was really going on inside.
He activated the [Stealth] skill and jumped into Xiao Hei's room from the side window
Like Tang Li Xue's guess, Xiao Hei was actually inside her room but her current appearance was completely messy.
Red eyes, disheveled hair, and clothes combined with her pale face even Tang Li Xue could not bear to see her like this.
But Tang Li Xue did not want to interfere with Xiao Hei's affairs so she just watched from the corner of the room for now and quietly listened to what they were talking about.
Xiao Hei was not alone in his room, there was also his subordinates kneeling in front of him quietly inside the room continuing to inform Xiao Hei.
In short, Xiao Hei was in deep trouble this time. His faction had already lacked resources before, but now his fat uncle was increasingly pressuring him through Elder Liu.
Elder Liu is a famous alchemist with a high rank in the Asura Demon Sect and need not be asked anymore, he was conspiring with fat uncle Xiao Hei.
For all the famous alchemists working for the Asura Demon Sect, the sect would provide all the herbs and ingredients that alchemists needed to concoct pills, but they would have to give 80% the pills they managed to concoct into the sect while they were able to take them. The remaining 20%.
However, Elder Liu suppressed Xiao Hei's faction that he would only concoct their pills if they gave him 50% while Xiao Hei could only take another 50.
That was why Xiao Hei was angry from anger, imagine that 20% of the total pill of the sect had already become unimaginable wealth but Elder Liu asked 50% of him now! It was the same as asking a dragon for half of the blood on their body!
But a certain fox who was lying casually in a corner of the room before suddenly stood up. His eyes turned into slits and his mouth curved upwards as he imagined how much wealth Elder Liu possessed.
'Whatever Liu must have had so many pills in his room that he couldn't count them all anymore! He probably wouldn't even know it if I took a few pill bottles from there!'
The more Tang Li Xue thought about it, the more she became excited even her fluffy tail swayed the faster.
But in the end, though, Xiao Hei could not do anything to Elder Liu as he was under the protection of that fat uncle and Xiao Hei could only try to discuss the pill allocation with Elder Liu further or try looking for a famous new high ranking alchemist to become a personal alchemist of the Xiao Hei faction.
But it was easier to say than to do so because the high tier alchemists who could concoct high grade pills were not cabbages you could find anywhere. Everything was truly rare, only one in ten thousand and most of them had already joined one of the virtuous sects, the Alchemist Sect.
Xiao Hei rubbed his aching head and sent his subordinates to do his work back.
Only after Xiao Hei closed the door of his own room did he realize that Tang Li Xue had already returned to his room.
"Xiao Bai's! Where did you go last night?! Do you know I'm so worried about you?!" Xiao Hei walked towards Tang Li Xue and gently hugged her.
'O ... Oh ... I'm sorry ...'
Tang Li Xue closed her eyes comfortably as Xiao Hei stroked and gently combed her fine fur from head to back.
"If you dare not go back like last night then this Chair will not cook your favorite roast for you the next day! Do you understand ?!" Xiao Hei rebuked Tang Li Xue harshly.
Tang Li Xue did not know that Xiao Hei was actually waiting for her to return the entire night yesterday.
He even started to panic when the sun had risen but his beloved Xiao Bai still had not returned. This was also the reason for his disheveled appearance. If it was his usual self, he would never show this kind of pitiful appearance to his own subordinates since it would only show his weakness to them.
It did not look that Xiao Hei had always treated Tang Li Xue like his pet but in truth, no one really knew since when Tang Li Xue occupied the most important part in Xiao Hei's heart right now.
Xiao Hei never knew who his mother was and his father had always been very strict towards him, even too strict! So Xiao Hei really could not feel his father's love for him, he only knew that his father was a very responsible person towards the sect and he always practiced like a possessed person.
No one knew but the closest to him was actually Feng Yi (the servant who betrayed him).
To Xiao Hei, Feng Yi was his childhood friend, his older brother was closer than his own father, and a very reliable subordinate.
Feng Yi's most painful betrayal was actually not the black dagger wound that nearly took Xiao Hei's life, but the wound that wounded his heart, his faith, his trust, and how he truly saw this world.
It was also why Xiao Hei killed Feng Yi at that moment earlier because he was scared after he heard Feng Yi's reasoning, he (Xiao Hei) would completely forgive Feng Yi in the end even after Feng Yi betrayed him.
By the time Xiao Hei lost his closest brother, his most important subordinate, and a childhood friend whom he trusted completely, he said, His Xiao Bai came to his world replacing Feng Yi as his pillar before his world was completely shattered into pieces.
It was really a series of true coincidences!
If back then what helped Xiao Hei was a human, he would definitely not feel this way. He would become suspicious and paranoid thinking that the person who helped him would definitely want something from him. In the end, he would just reward them generously and say goodbye to them.
But what helped him was actually a helpless little savage beast! With her tiny body, she took him to a safe place! Then find the antidote from the entire dangerous Moonlight Forest! He even used an extremely precious rare herb that could heal critical wounds in an instant to treat him!
It was very difficult for Xiao Hei's heart to not be moved by Tang Li Xue's kindness and devotion.
To the current Xiao Hei, Tang Li Xue was the pillar of his world. He was very confident that Tang Li Xue would not like the betrayed Feng Yi. He was also very confident that as a ferocious beast, Tang Li Xue would faithfully follow him as long as he treated him very well.
But do you know, in my opinion this kind of coincidence was actually not a coincidence but was caused by the [Lucky Sticker] that Tang Li Xue used when she saved Xiao Hei earlier.
However, since luck is intangible and no one can really prove it, let's just skip it for now.
With Tang Li Xue in his arms, Xiao Hei's tense nerves quickly loosened and as he toyed with Tang Li Xue casually on his bed, he accidentally fell asleep in the end.
Tang Li Xue stared at Xiao Hei's sleeping face intensively while the words and warnings of the Red Eye Winged Lizard continued to play in his mind again and again.
'Xiao Hey.. If I really evolved.. do you really.. huh... Unfortunately, there is no 'if' in this world! I, Tang Li Xue will never risk my life in the hands of others again! Not even God!'
His mother died giving birth to him, his father fled leaving only his debt, while his older brother bore PVS (Persistent Vegetate State) after working hard to pay for his medical expenses.
Since then Tang Li Xue had always believed that if she leaned on earth, the earth would collapse and if she relied on heaven, heaven would collapse! He could never rely on anyone but himself!
Tang Li Xue also ended up sleeping in Xiao Hei's arms as she was very tired of running around, fighting, and exploring all night until morning.

.
When Tang Li Xue opened her sleepy eyes and woke up, it was already noon.
Xiao Hei had already gone to work but he had already cooked Tang Li Xue's grilled meat personally and placed it well on the table for her to eat as soon as she woke up.
While eating her favorite roast, Tang Li Xue decided to check out the 2nd evolution menu list to see what species she was capable of developing along with her need for evolution.
[You can choose between 2nd evolution or (Dantian) formation. Which one did you choose? ]
'PFFFFFFFTTT!!! Cough... Cough.. Cough…'
Tang Li Xue almost choked to death because of this sudden choice.
