Chapter 442 - 353: Da Guo is Going to Transform
"Little White?" Wen Ying called out softly.
Little White’s gaze seemed unfocused. Its eyes only stirred when it heard Wen Ying’s voice. "Master, I saw my mother..."
"But she left. I thought she didn’t want me anymore. I’m so stupid, and I still can’t become a true member of the Immortal Family. But now I know... Mom sacrificed herself to save me."
With just a few short sentences, a tragic life story unfolded before Wen Ying and Kong Jian.
Kong Jian looked at Little White. ’So Da Guo is just like me,’ he thought. ’No family left.’
’So Da Guo is just like me. All we have left is Liger.’
’From now on, I won’t fight with Da Guo over Liger anymore. We can all be together forever, right?’
"Master, you’re all I have. I don’t even know who my enemies are. Hundreds of years have passed, and I don’t even know if they’re still alive. I suddenly feel like such an idiot. No wonder the others didn’t like playing with me when I was little. They thought I was stupid."
Wen Ying reached out and gently picked Little White up. "My Little White is very smart, not stupid at all. And you still have me and Kong Jian. We’re your family."
Little White nodded, burying its head in Wen Ying’s embrace, unable to stop the tears from falling.
’These were memories I’d forgotten,’ it thought. ’And just like that, they’ve returned to me.’
’Is this fate?’
’The image of my mother’s face flashed through my mind, along with the time I stubbornly ran back to the village and was almost captured.’
’If I’d been caught back then, I probably wouldn’t exist in this world anymore.’
"Da Guo, I... I’ll stay with you," Kong Jian chimed in, making his stance clear.
They had both almost lost everything.
An hour later, a voice, thick and nasal from crying, sounded by Wen Ying’s ear. "Master, I’m hungry..."
A pitiful little head popped out, staring at Wen Ying.
Kong Jian immediately stood up. "Da Guo, I have lots of yummy snacks! You can have them all."
And so, Little White watched as this little follower, who was always trying to steal its master, pulled out piles and piles of snacks, placing them in front of it with a look of pure concern on his face.
"Thank you, little bro."
Kong Jian lowered his head, his face turning a little red.
Wen Ying tilted her head, looking at Little White as she recalled the sound of its voice just now. "Little White, are you about to transform?"
"Huh?"
Only then did Little White realize that its voice had indeed changed.
’This change wasn’t a big deal to me, but judging by human standards, my voice is a bit... like a little girl’s?’
’I’m supposed to be domineering! Powerful!’
’I’m Da Guo, the one with the aura of an overlord!’
’How could I have a little girl’s voice?’
’Heavens above!’
’Send down a bolt of lightning!’
’Just strike me down!’
’How am I ever going to face anyone again?’
Little White clamped its mouth shut, refusing to speak.
’How am I supposed to command all the beasts now?!’
"Shihuhu, I heard it too. Da Guo’s voice... Is Da Guo still Da Guo?"
Little White couldn’t hold back. It swung a paw at Kong Jian. "If you dare call me ’Big Sis,’ I’ll end you!"
PLOP. Kong Jian fell and sat on the ground. "Da Guo... I was wrong... Da Guo... I wouldn’t dare..."
"Hmph!"
The moment it realized it had lost its composure and spoken in that girly voice again, Little White turned and fled.
Kong Jian started to give chase but was held back by Liger. "Little Kongjian, don’t go. Liger will go check on it in a little while."
Kong Jian nodded and said no more, but his mind was racing. ’When I face Da Guo from now on, what should I do to keep from making it angry?’
’Da Guo is a girl. I have to be considerate of her.’
The sky grew darker.
Kong Jian couldn’t hold back any longer. "Liger, can we go check on Da Guo now?"
He wanted to go, but he remembered Liger’s words. What if he just made Da Guo angrier?
But he was really worried about Da Guo.
’Da Guo is a girl. It’s dangerous for a girl to be out all alone.’
Kong Jian had automatically forgotten all about Little White’s glorious past. Who would dare mess with it?
Wen Ying reached out and pinched Kong Jian’s cheek. "Alright, Liger will go check now. You wait here, and don’t run off."
Kong Jian obediently nodded and sat down.
He couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Wen Ying found Little White by a small river. It was standing on a rock submerged in the water, head lowered, staring at its own reflection.
’I’m still me.’
’As long as I don’t choose to transform, I’m still myself, right? The super-powerful Fox Immortal, Little White!’
’It’s just... my voice...’
’Does this mean I can never speak again?’
’Damn it, that little monk heard my voice. Should I silence him? Hmph!’
"Little White."
Little White’s body stiffened. It kept its back to Wen Ying, refusing to turn around.
"What do you think of me?"
