Chapter 1353: Chapter 1355: Only He Can Be Jealous_1

Bai Ruozhu shuddered uncontrollably when she thought of that bloody scene and said, ”I remember it was Sangta who ordered it to attack Jin Jing, wasn’t it?”

”Think carefully, didn’t it move before Sangta even gave the order? Sangta just commanded his Beast Team; it was Xiaohei who took the initiative to vent your anger for you,” Qingyan nodded with a smile, ”Do you still remember the black stone I said I would give you? I didn’t manage to hand it over the first time, but I left it for you before I left.”

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly took out the black stone to show Qingyan, who was pleased to see that she carried it with her and continued, ”Actually, I lied to you then, it’s not an heirloom of mine, but a treasure of the Sangren Clan. I don’t know what kind of method their high priest used, but with it, you can communicate with your own Beast Pet.”

”Isn’t that Beast Speech?” Bai Ruozhu was extremely surprised, yet she hadn’t felt she could understand the speech of animals these days.

Qingyan laughed again, this time like an Elder chuckling at a child’s naive ignorance, which made Bai Ruozhu somewhat embarrassed.

”You also need your beast to recognize you before you can communicate with it, but it’s not a conversation; you hold the black stone in your palm and communicate with it through your intentions, not with any beast,” Qingyan explained.

Bai Ruozhu looked at the black stone in her palm, wondering what kind of magic it contained, but was she now also someone who could command beasts?

She didn’t doubt the truth of what Qingyan had said; in fact, it seemed to make sense to her. That’s why she felt the black panther was so affectionate toward her, why she felt differently about the black panther—as if it were just like other people’s pets, only hers was a bit more ferocious.

Right, it had a name, Xiaohei.

Bai Ruozhu then thought of Da Hei and couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. That name couldn’t have been given by the princess of the Barbarian Clan, could it? Da Hei, Xiaohei; they were indeed named by an expert...

”By the way, what about Da Hei?” Bai Ruozhu suddenly remembered.

”The lifespan of beasts can’t be compared to that of humans, even though the Barbarian Clan has Secret Methods to extend the lifespan of Beast Pets, they still don’t live as long as humans. Da Hei died of old age five years ago,” Qingyan explained.

Bai Ruozhu thought about her past life studying abroad, where she had a part-time job walking dogs and bathing them for foreigners. There was an old dog that had a very hard time walking, and its owner had told Bai Ruozhu that dogs only live for a dozen years or so, but they bring their owners endless joy. Yet, watching a dog grow old, sick, and die was also a torment.

”If Da Hei died five years ago, then Xiaohei must be older than five, right?” Bai Ruozhu suddenly became worried.

”Xiaohei is over six years old, still young among Beast Pets. If its lifespan can be extended, it could live for thirty or forty years,” Qingyan said.

Bai Ruozhu really wanted to try communicating with Xiaohei. She stood up and said to Qingyan, ”Thank you for giving Xiaohei to me, and thank you for giving me this stone.”

”The stone is my gift to you, but keep it well hidden, and don’t let others know about it. Xiaohei wasn’t a gift from me; I just happened to bring it to you, and it chose you on its own.” Having said this, Qingyan’s mood seemed to have improved a lot.

”Then I’ll go play with Xiaohei and come see you tomorrow,” Bai Ruozhu’s voice chirped with excitement. Xiaohei probably realized that she couldn’t communicate with it and, fearing it would cause her trouble, hid itself.

”Go on, hold the stone and think quietly of it. It will sense you and come to you,” Qingyan added.

”Thank you!”

If it weren’t for Qingyan’s reminder, she really wouldn’t have known where to find Xiaohei.

Upon leaving Qingyan’s room, Bai Ruozhu pulled Jiang Yichun to leave the Palace. As nightfall darkened the skies, Jiang Yichun asked her why she wanted to leave the Palace. She gave him a mysterious smile and said, ”I’m taking you to meet a friend.”

”What friend?” Jiang Yichun wondered if they had even met that many people in the Western Regions.

”You’ll see in a bit,” Bai Ruozhu deliberately kept him in suspense. After all, wasn’t he the one who got all jealous over a panther’s fur and made a huge blunder last time?

Before long, the two of them left the Imperial Palace, and Bai Ruozhu found a secluded spot. Clasping the black stone in her palm, she silently thought of Xiaohei.

Even though Xiaohei appeared mighty and even extremely ferocious in her mind, why did she find Xiaohei especially adorable? Especially when those glistening eyes looked at her, and it nuzzled her palm with its head—it was simply too cute.

Jiang Yichun didn’t know what she was doing but didn’t rush her, simply waiting quietly by her side.

Finally, a shadow darted from a distance, a panther charging at them as fast as lightning.

Jiang Yichun stepped forward to shield Bai Ruozhu, whispering, ”Be careful!”

How could Sangta be here? A chill came over Jiang Yichun’s face. Was Sangta looking for a beating again?

However, Bai Ruozhu tugged at him, saying, ”It’s fine, Xiaohei is one of us.”

After she spoke, she stepped past him from behind and saw the black panther run up to her and nuzzle against her, acting all affectionate!

Jiang Yichun’s expression grew colder, ”The friend you mentioned is Sangta?”

Bai Ruozhu directly kicked him in the butt, ”Bullshit Sangta! Who told you this panther was Sangta’s? Just like when you wronged me last time!”

The black panther, seeing Bai Ruozhu kick Jiang Yichun, even growled low at Jiang Yichun and bared its teeth.

Bai Ruozhu petted the black panther’s head proudly. Having such a panther was great, as it not only supported its owner but also held such an imposing presence—and Xiaohei was not at all afraid of Jiang Yichun’s murderous aura.

”What exactly is going on here?” He wouldn’t be foolish enough to misunderstand his wife again, and seeing the black panther acting like a little cat in front of Ruozhu, he suddenly wondered if his eyes were deceiving him.

Bai Ruozhu explained what Qingyan had told her, including the fact that Xiaohei had recognized her as its owner.

”Not bad, your trip to the Western Regions has really paid off,” Jiang Yichun was also happy for her. With an extra panther to protect her while traveling outside, he could be more at ease.

In front of Jiang Yichun, Xiaohei let Bai Ruozhu ride it for a few steps. Jiang Yichun watched enviously, just like a man would. Who wouldn’t want to ride such a handsome panther? But unfortunately, Xiaohei was too haughty, not even giving Jiang Yichun a friendly look.

After having fun for a while, it was already dark. They bade farewell to Xiaohei and returned to the palace. Bai Ruozhu tried to communicate with Xiaohei using the stone and found it not too difficult.

She told Xiaohei to go hunt outside the City on its own but to not harm people. She would summon it if needed. Xiaohei licked her palm and, like a shadow, vanished into the night.

Bai Ruozhu also wanted to keep Xiaohei close, but she did not know how Sangta managed to bring Xiaohei into the Palace last time. She couldn’t do it now, and with the current situation, walking around with a black panther might cause misunderstandings, making people think she was from the Barbarian Clan.
