Chapter 209: When the Tiger Is Away, the Mouse Will Play
Han; he couldn't stop her from going to his house."Xiaoxue, don’t bully Zhen Cunming just because she’s smart," Hou Ren said as he approached the front door and took out the key. He heard his grandmot...Chapter 209: The Tiger Is Not at Home

The next morning, Hao Ren followed Zhao Jiayin and the others out of their dormitory building when suddenly he noticed Xie Yujia holding Little White standing at the entrance of their male dorm.
Seeing Xie Yujia here also surprised Zhao Jiayin and the others a little.
"What's wrong, class monitor Did Little White bite something" Hao Ren walked over to ask. He thought that since Xie Yujia liked Little White so much, she would help take care of it for him for a few more days.
"Little White is very well-behaved but I can't keep up with its appetite," Xie Yujia handed Little White to Hao Ren. "Last night in our female dormitory, it ate four packs of ham sausage, seven chicken legs, eight large bread rolls, and even three bowls of instant noodles! It ate all the emergency rations stored by several nearby dormitories!"
Hao Ren looked at Little White in surprise. You這傢夥，胃口也太大了吧？”
Little White wagged its tail and jumped into Xie Yujia's bicycle basket, as if it still couldn't bear to leave Xie.
But Xie Yujia really didn't dare keep it anymore. She took Little White out of the basket again and handed it over to Hao Ren. "This little guy has a huge appetite! If we don't feed it, it chirps loudly, and we're worried the dorm supervisor might hear it. So we kept feeding it all night long and almost didn't get any sleep!"
"You damn Little White!" Hao Ren smacked Little White's head. "For taking advantage of spring weather, you actually dared to eat so much"
Little White lifted its head and looked at Hao Ren with an innocent gaze, as if saying 'It was your responsibility to bring me out of the Tian Shan snow lotus cave in the first place.' If I had known it would be this difficult to take care of you, I should have given more thought before bringing you out. Hao Ren replied mentally.
But since Little White is already his spirit beast, there's no way he could abandon it. So Hao Ren held Little White in his arms and smelled its white fur's faint fragrance. He suddenly wondered if last night this creature might have snuggled up to the female dormitory residents for a good sleep!
"I made another little bag for it, and it seems quite fond of it," Xie Yujia took out a small cloth bag from her bag that was just big enough to hold Little White with only half its head showing.
Seeing how considerate Xie Yujia had been, Hao Ren could only smile. "Thank you, class monitor."
In reality, he didn't need such a bag since he had his Interspatial Bag but still thanked the class monitor for her kindness.
"I'm going to class now. You take good care of Little White and make sure it eats enough." Xie Yujia added another reminder before riding off towards the canteen.
“Ow! Ow!” As soon as Xie Yujia left, Zhao Jiayin and the others immediately started teasing Hao Ren.
"Taking care of animals with Xie Yujia sure has fostered a good relationship!" Yu Rong walked over and poked Hao Ren.
Xie Yujia was one of the beauties in their class, usually quiet, but that didn't mean none of the boys were interested in her. Seeing how Hao Ren managed to develop such a close bond with Xie Yujia just by taking care of a dog together made them admire Hao Ren's flexible ways of courting girls.
"Go away!" Hao Ren waved them off and put Little White into the bag, hanging it around his neck before heading for class.
Indeed, Little White knew how to be cute; during class, it didn't make a sound. Since today was Thursday and in the morning they had Su Han's specialized classes, the boys were rather excited.
Su Han sensed Little White’s presence as soon as she entered the classroom and cast Hao Ren an additional glance. Facing this high-rank expert, even Little White felt some fear and immediately hid its head inside the bag.
But Su Han didn't mind; as long as Little White didn’t harm ordinary people, she wouldn't bother restraining this low-level monster. Besides, since Hao Ren was now her assistant inspector, he could be considered half hers, so there was no need for her to keep a close eye on him.
After class ended, Su Han coldly walked out of the classroom; Hao Ren knew she would go straight to training as usual.
Little White was bustling around inside the bag again, seemingly hungry once more.
It happened to be lunchtime, so Hao Ren took it outside to eat at the Macro Base Square. The boys were completely uninterested in such a small creature and went off en masse to the gymnasium for basketball games, while also looking out for pretty girls.
When Hu Ren walked to the west gate of the school, he saw Xie Yujia cycling over.
"Hehe, I knew you would bring Little White to Acer Plaza," Xie Yujia caught up with Hu Ren and got off her bike to push it along.
"It seems like it's hungry again." Hu Ren shook his head helplessly.
"Actually, I quite like Little White. It’s just that she eats too much; the other girls in our dorm have some issues with her because of this. So, I had no choice but to return her to you," Xie Yujia explained.
"It's fine. I don’t want to cause any trouble for you." Just as Hu Ren finished speaking, Little White jumped out of the bag and leaped into the basket in front of Xie Yujia’s bicycle. She spun around a couple times before leaning her front paws against the edge frame, looking regally at the scenery ahead.
Xie Yujia laughed easily; that elegant yet natural smile was like a breeze on a summer day.
A white shirt and plaid skirt paired with white socks and small leather shoes. Xie Yujia’s simple attire was reminiscent of school uniforms.
Hu Ren really liked this fresh look of Xie Yujia's, especially in an environment where most girls were focused on makeup and expensive clothes.
At Acer Plaza, Hu Ren and Xie Yujia ordered two bowls of vermicelli soup. He also got several large pork ribs for Little White; surprisingly, she ate better than they did.
Naturally, the arrival of Little White attracted some attention from girls at Acer Plaza, who offered her food. Gradually, Little White became more selective and refused to eat anything she considered subpar.
"Having such a cute dog makes it much easier to talk with girls," Xie Yujia said while eating the vermicelli soup.
"I'm not that kind of person." Hu Ren felt compelled to explain Little White's presence.
Xie Yujia smiled but didn’t dwell on the subject. Instead, she asked, "What about Ah Zi How is she recently"
"Why are you asking about her all of a sudden"
"No, it’s just that I saw her in the office last time and was worried about her."
"Oh, she's fine. She has very thick skin," Hu Ren replied casually.
Xie Yujia bit on her lip, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you her boyfriend"
"Calling me an official boyfriend doesn't quite fit; fiancé would be more accurate." Hu Ren slowed his speech as he said this.
Xie Yujia stared blankly at Hu Ren. After several seconds of silence, she lowered her head and continued eating the vermicelli soup in front of her.
"Let’s take Little White to a nearby park for a walk later" Hu Ren suggested.
"Okay." Xie Yujia's tone suddenly seemed heavier than before.
The sun was bright and perfect for walking dogs.
Hu Ren took Little White to the grassy area of a small park nearby. He noticed many middle-aged people there also walking their dogs.
Little White was in an environment similar to nature for the first time, filled with vibrant green grass and trees; she jumped out of Xie Yujia’s basket excitedly. "※
Though a C-class spiritual beast, Little White's mind remained that of a half-year-old animal; previously, she had lived in gloomy Snow Lotus Cave all her life, so how could she have known such places with grass and trees
Seeing Little White acting so lively made Xie Yujia laugh involuntarily. Even some passing girls stopped to watch with the urge to hold Little White.
The little white dog, Bai, sprinted across the relatively spacious grassland, causing all the big dogs around it to stare at it.
Suddenly, Bai noticed a delicious piece of roasted meat in front of a large black wolf-like dog. Without any hesitation, it ran towards it! "Bai, come back!" Xia Yuja urgently shouted upon seeing this scene.
The large wolf-like dog was several times bigger than Bai; though restrained by an middle-aged man, it still had an intimidating look!
Unexpectedly, when Bai reached the wolf-like dog, merely pressing down on the piece of roasted meat with its tiny paw made the wolf-like dog howl and retreat several steps in fear.
If not restrained by its owner, the large wolf-like dog would have fled!
Bai calmly took a bite out of the roasted meat and started to eat it leisurely.
This scene left Xia Yuja dumbfounded. However, Hao Ren had anticipated this situation; as a C-grade spirit beast, before being tamed, it was still a C-grade monster, whose strong aura couldn't be resisted by these ordinary dogs!
"Hehe, Old Wang, you're here today too!"
"Yes, yes, the weather is nice, so I came out for a walk. Our home霸王 (Bàwáng) can’t stay at home,"
Suddenly, several middle-aged men by the edge of the grassland started chatting.
Hao Ren turned to look and found a plump middle-aged man leading a large black Tibetan mastiff appearing beside the grassland!
Everyone knew that the Tibetan mastiff was like a king among dogs; its appearance immediately made all the dogs on the grassland bow their heads.
The copper-bell eyes of the black Tibetan mastiff scanned around before focusing on Bai, leisurely eating its roasted meat.
Bai completely ignored this Tibetan mastiff, not even glancing at it sideways.
As a habitual leader, how could this Tibetan mastiff endure such disdain It marched forward, almost pulling its owner with it.
"Whose dog is this Quickly take it away! Our home霸王 (Bàwáng) doesn’t like it!" The plump middle-aged man tugging at the Tibetan mastiff shouted loudly.
"Hao Ren, quickly go and bring Bai back. If it gets bitten by a Tibetan mastiff, that would be problematic," Xia Yuja standing beside the grassland said anxiously.
It wasn't because she didn't want to personally retrieve Bai but rather because she was afraid of such large Tibetan mastiffs.
"Quickly drive away this dog! Our home霸王 (Bàwáng) is getting angry!" The plump middle-aged man continued shouting. From his appearance, it seemed that owning a Tibetan mastiff had made him accustomed to being arrogant.
The black Tibetan mastiff indeed began growling, baring its teeth and drooling.
As Hao Ren approached Bai in the grassland, he still leisurely continued eating, making one feel that though it was cute, it seemed rather slow-witted.
Finally, when the Tibetan mastiff's patience reached its limit and it broke free from its owner’s chain to bite at Bai, Bai suddenly rolled aside nimbly, evading the attack. It then sprang away into the nearby forest.
The Tibetan mastiff couldn’t tolerate such provocation and completely shook off its owner's leash to chase after it into the woods.
Xia Yuja screamed anxiously, "Hao Ren! Quickly! Go save Bai!
She shouted as she rushed towards the woods, disregarding any danger to herself while worrying about Xiao Bai's safety.
In the woods, a few frenzied barks of the Tibetan mastiff could be heard along with Xiao Bai’s sharp chirping sounds.
The people around, inside and outside the grassland, couldn’t see what was happening in the woods and thought that Xiao Bai's cries were signs of despair. They believed it had no chance against a Tibetan mastiff!
A few seconds later, before Hao Ren and Xie Yujia could even run into the woods, the Tibetan mastiff named “King” and Xiao Bai walked out.
Xiao Bai was walking confidently at the front while that Tibetan mastiff called "King" walked in a dejected manner behind with a small scratch on its cheek!
Who was truly the king here, had become clear!
The owner of the Tibetan mastiff, that plump middle-aged man, stared unbelievably at Xiao Bai and his dog walking one after another.
His dog was very aggressive and would often fight with other large dogs. It never lost before, although it cost him a lot of money to pay for its losses, but still gave him great satisfaction and vanity.
"But... today's King actually lost to that small mongrel"
Especially when this puppy’s fur was so clean, without even one wound!
The middle-aged man almost dropped his jaw on the grass. Hao Ren secretly laughed: Just joking! Xiao Bai is a third-class demon beast; if it were to lose to that Tibetan mastiff, then that would truly be laughable.
To fight such a Tibetan mastiff, Xiao Bai didn't even bother transforming into its true form. Otherwise, with its body nearly a meter tall, it could have scared the Tibetan mastiff to death!
Once outside, Xiao Bai ran over to Hao Ren's side and wagged its tail as if it was just an ordinary little puppy.
Hao Ren took out a piece of meat and threw it into its mouth, rewarding it for its performance.
Xiao Bai seemed unsatisfied with this reward. It wanted to bully the Tibetan mastiff again and walked over to extend its paw.
The Tibetan mastiff that was usually proud looked down slightly and allowed Xiao Bai to press its paw onto its forehead!
That plump middle-aged man almost went crazy at this scene: What kind of monster dog is this that can make a Tibetan mastiff bow down
Everyone else, including those girls by the grassland, were stunned.
"Chirp chirp!" After playing the role of Big Bad Wolf, Xiao Bai regained its adorable expression and jumped into Hao Ren's arms.
This damn dog, Hao Ren thought to himself. He already didn’t bother treating it like a lion anymore.
Xiao Bai strutted confidently in Hao Ren’s arms when suddenly, its body trembled slightly as it leaped from his arms back onto the grass.
Hao Ren was concerned that Xiao Bai was unwell and watched it. To his surprise, it wiggled its butt and ran towards a thicket next to the woods at full speed.
Xie Yujia covered her mouth and laughed: "After eating so much, it finally thought of going potty."
Hao Ren's face turned pale as he recalled Xiao Bai wiggling its butt in his arms just now.
After rummaging through the bushes for a while, Xiao Bai felt relieved and ran back to Hao Ren, wiggling its butt before jumping into his arms again.
"Smelly Xiao Bai, you urinated on the spot!" Hao Ren checked its bottom and found it was clean. He patted its head with his hand and tossed it into Xie Yujia's car basket.
Xie Yujia pushed the cart while accompanying Hao Ren to the school’s west gate. no one could truly possess either heaven and earth or these divine treasures.Therefore, the highest level of magical treasure that cultivators could own was a Divine Treasure that had gone through th...
