408: Test from Bai 408: Test from Bai Bai hesitated for a moment and obediently prepared to spit out the Revitalizing Pill.
Jiang Fan waved his hand and said, “Eat it, I’ll take responsibility for this Spirit Pill!”
He reached out and covered Nangong Xiaoyun’s mouth.
Not allowing her to say another word.
Bai cast Jiang Fan a deep, searching glance before chewing forcefully, crushing the Revitalizing Pill into pieces.
Nangong Xiaoyun tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
She could only watch, wide-eyed, as Bai swallowed the Revitalizing Pill.
A miraculous scene unfolded before the group’s eyes.
The weak and frail Bai visibly began to recover at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
His breathing steadied, his heartbeat grew stronger.
In just one cup of tea’s time, he could shake his body.
After an hour, he was standing, happily bounding around.
“Master, Master, I’m all better! Completely better!” Bai said in his soft, childlike voice.
Nangong Xiaoyun was so happy she cried!
She stroked the long legs of her little cow, thinking quietly for a long time before decisively saying,
“Bai, from now on, you’re going to follow your other master.”
She pointed to Jiang Fan and said, “He’s the one who saved your life.”
“Your life belongs to him now. From now on, listen to him obediently.”
Despite her reluctance.
This was the only way to repay the debt of the Revitalizing Pill.
Bai looked alarmed and said, “No, no, I don’t want him to be my master!”
Speaking defiantly, he snarled at Jiang Fan, “I don’t want you!”
“If you dare try to ride me, I- I’ll burn you to death!”
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
Suddenly, a layer of red flames erupted from his body, the heat so intense.
Even a piece of iron thrown into it would likely melt into liquid.
If you were stubborn enough to test it by hopping on,
There was no doubt; “test” and “death” would rhyme for a reason.
“Bai!” Nangong Xiaoyun snapped angrily. “No acting out!”
But Bai, being incredibly stubborn, retorted, “I won’t. Not even if I die! Hmph!”
Jiang Fan chuckled with a faint smile. “As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Whoever gets close to Nangong Xiaoyun becomes just like her.”
“Even your temper seems molded from the same template!”
Nangong Xiaoyun flushed bright red.
She stomped her foot. “I’m nothing like that!”
Then she turned angrily to glare at Bai, exclaiming, “If you keep disobeying me, I’ll abandon you!”
Realizing she was genuinely upset,
Bai extinguished the flames on his body and leaned close to Nangong Xiaoyun,
Rubbing his massive head affectionately against her while whining, “But I don’t want another master.”
Jiang Fan grinned and said, “You want to be my Spiritual Pet, but I may not even accept you.”
“Saving you was purely so I could use you for a mission.”
“Once the Beast Tide is over, you can return to your original master.”
“In the meantime, follow my orders.”
He wasn’t upset that Bai didn’t understand gratitude.
After all, Bai was a Demon Beast, and morality was a human construct that didn’t apply to beasts.
On top of that, Bai was still in his juvenile stage,
making him even less capable of comprehending such things.
“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on me?”
Bai’s red flames flared up again with a pfft-pfft sound.
But after hearing Jiang Fan’s next words, he suppressed the flames and said, “You’ll let me go after the Beast Tide ends?”
“Really?”
