Chapter 60: Sorry, It’s His First Time Meeting Someone
The little Ragdoll sat on the ground, tilted its chin up, and gave another soft, delicate “Meow.”
Within the black mist, the large tiger claw unconsciously reached out again, as if wanting to touch the kitten, but it still hurriedly and urgently retracted when it was only halfway out.
The little Ragdoll: (≖ω≖)✧
“Meow~~~”
This time, the little Ragdoll gave an extremely soft and long meow. Its tiny cat body staggered a few times on the spot, and then, as if it had been injured somewhere, it “fell” onto the ground with a thud, leaving behind a tragic “last word”: “Meow.”
The black mist instantly surged forward. This time, the white-gold tiger stepped out with an entire front limb. Its tiger eyes looked nervously at the kitten lying motionless on the ground. Seeing that it wasn’t moving, it couldn’t help but cautiously use the soft pad of its tiger claw to touch the kitten’s back.
Suddenly, the little Ragdoll jumped up and bit the tiger claw pad that had reached over.
The white-gold tiger was startled and instinctively shook its claw, wanting to retract its front limb. To its surprise, it didn’t control its strength well and actually sent the kitten flying.
The little Ragdoll flying through the air: “Meow?”
Seeing that it was about to hit the ground hard, Xie Qiang suddenly retracted her spiritual power, and the little Ragdoll also disappeared from the mid-air of the mental sea.
She tapped the tip of her toe with slight annoyance and kicked Sen Ji’s shin. “Control your mental body!”
The kicked shin throbbed with a faint pain, but Sen Ji surprisingly didn’t feel the kind of humiliated anger he used to. He pursed his lips, and between explaining and apologizing, he finally chose to pull the white-gold tiger directly out of his mental sea.
The white-gold tiger suddenly arrived outside. Its whole tiger body seemed to have been triggered by stress; it arched its body and let out a low growl with bared teeth at the surroundings. Unexpectedly, just as its teeth were bared, its head was slapped by Sen Ji.
Sen Ji grabbed its tiger head and hoisted it toward Xie Qiang. “Apologize to her.”
The white-gold tiger looked up and saw a beautiful girl with soft white hair looking down at it. Those glacier-blue cat eyes, exactly like the little Ragdoll’s, were looking at it curiously.
White-gold tiger: !
The tiger immediately broke free from Sen Ji’s hand. Its entire massive body jumped behind Sen Ji to hide. Then, it revealed half a tiger eye from beside his shoulder and neck, staring at her cautiously.
She could see him!
“Bai Jin, don’t hide.” Sen Ji’s arm reached over his shoulder and grabbed the top of its head, directly pulling half of its body to the front. “Apologize properly.”
Bai Jin cast a quick glance at Xie Qiang, who was still staring at him, lowered his head, and gave an “Awoo,” before hurriedly hiding behind Sen Ji again, peeking at Xie Qiang through the gap under Sen Ji’s arm.
“Sorry, it’s his first time meeting someone.”
Sen Ji spoke somewhat apologetically. “So he’s a bit awkward when interacting with people.”
To be precise, it wasn’t his first time meeting someone, but the first time someone could see him.
The body of a sentinel who couldn’t be purified also meant their mental body couldn’t be seen by others. When Bai Jin was first born, he loved running out to greet people. But along with being ignored time and time after, he gradually lost the expectation of being seen. Except for necessary battles, he would rather stay in the boring mental sea than come out again.
The book had once glossed over this. It was only when Xie Qiang heard Sen Ji say it that she suddenly remembered—she was currently the only person who could see Bai Jin.
“Alright then.” The anger in her heart dissipated. “It’s understandable.”
She beckoned with her hand. “Bai Jin, come here. I’ll purify you.”
Bai Jin shrank his tiger body and looked at Sen Ji.
“Go on.” Sen Ji gave a slight nod. “The purification will be faster this way.”
Only then did Bai Jin walk out hesitantly. He sat down beside the girl, and his tiger fur accidentally brushed against her shin, leaving a red mark on her fair skin like it had been brushed by a stiff comb. He instantly moved his tiger body in a panic and used his paw to press down his rough tiger fur.
Bai Jin: “Whimper.”
He didn’t mean to, whimper whimper!
“It’s okay.” Xie Qiang reached out her free hand and pressed her palm onto Bai Jin’s head.
Pure spiritual power poured in. In an instant, Bai Jin’s tiger fur became visibly soft and smooth. A dazzling glow seemed to float on the golden tiger fur, moving slightly with the surge of spiritual power like a golden wave. It was both majestic and eye-catching.
The scars left from battles were also diminishing bit by bit until the last scar disappeared. He couldn’t help but tilt his head back comfortably, arching his long tiger body, and gave a long, hard stretch.
“Awoooo~~~”
Giving a majestic roar, he stretched his sturdy and powerful tiger body, walking back and forth in front of Xie Qiang. Seeing her eyes grow brighter and brighter as she looked at him, he couldn’t help but feel a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Kitten, this tiger is handsome, right?
He unreservedly used the soft and smooth tiger fur on his head to affectionately rub against Xie Qiang’s little stomach, wishing he could stuff his entire head into her embrace.
However, in the next second, the skin on the top of his head was skillfully picked up by a large hand.
Bai Jin: Ow?
Bai Jin struggled hard: What are you doing! I want the kitty! I want the kitty!
Sen Ji was a bit secretly annoyed by his excessive affection for Xie Qiang, as if he were confessing his own inner cravings. He looked at Bai Jin with a slightly cold face, finding an excuse to stop him from being affectionate with Xie Qiang. “Bai Jin, watch your weight.”
Oh, right.
The kitten is very small and light.
If he crushed her to death, there would be no one left who could see him.
Bai Jin hurriedly stepped back and forth with his tiger paws as if punishing them for their own initiative, and then he gave Xie Qiang a silly and honest smile.
Sen Ji couldn’t bear to look and rubbed his brow.
“Bai Jin and you are quite different.”
Xie Qiang rubbed Bai Jin’s head, feeling somewhat sentimental. “Come to think of it, Tian Lang and Mo Yin’s personalities are also very different.”
The book clearly said that the personality of a mental body was a reflection of the sentinel’s own temperament.
Sen Ji neither denied nor admitted it.
He watched Xie Qiang’s hand constantly stroking Bai Jin’s head. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it seemed to be getting closer and closer to Bai Jin’s tiger ears.
When she finally touched them, those small cat eyes could no longer look away. Her slender and delicate fingers rubbed and squeezed the tiger ears, her finger pads sinking bit by bit into the soft white downy ear fur. The curve of her lips was constantly rising, and the love in her eyes was so overflowing it couldn’t be hidden.
She wasn’t lying.
She really did like tiger ears.
But it also seemed that she just liked tiger ears in general, and not specifically his tiger ears.
His green eyes flickered slightly. Sen Ji suddenly grabbed the girl’s hand that was stroking the tiger ears and tightly interlaced his fingers with hers.
“Hmm?” Xie Qiang looked down, her eyes somewhat surprised and confused.
“He’s already been purified; there’s no need to touch him anymore.” Sen Ji’s expression was flat, his eyelashes trembling slightly. He said without changing his expression, “It’s more efficient to use it to purify me.”
“Ah, alright then.” Xie Qiang looked at Bai Jin with some regret.
Noticing her regretful mood, Sen Ji lowered his eyes slightly, his fingers unconsciously tightening. As if he were just discussing a common occurrence, he suggested in a normal tone, “This is too slow. You can release a bit more spiritual power.”
“Are you sure?” Xie Qiang’s cat eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but glance at the temporary mark on his arm. “Although a temporary mark can suppress Combined Heat, if it exceeds a certain amount, it’s still possible to…”
…cause hot flashes.
“Then just bite another temporary mark.” Sen Ji’s expression was calm.
Xie Qiang’s cat body shook. “Can you bite several temporary marks?”
Sen Ji nodded with composure. “Yes.”
Beside them, Bai Jin looked at Sen Ji in wide-eyed shock: What kind of nonsense is he saying with a straight face??
