Chapter 618: The Yin Demonic Venerable 35

When Tang Wan reached out to stroke Little Pinecone's fur, Little Pinecone had initially resisted.

Its sleek, shiny fur was only for its master to stroke!

However, the moment Tang Wan's hand came down, it instantly surrendered.

Ah!

This pressure!

This feeling!

It was several times more comfortable than when its master stroked its fur!

So gentle and soft—it felt absolutely amazing!

For a moment, Little Pinecone couldn't help narrowing its beady eyes in bliss, completely forgetting to ask Tang Wan how she had suddenly grown bigger.

……

Meanwhile, Bai Tong watched Little Pinecone's blissful expression as it narrowed its eyes in contentment, and his eyes immediately narrowed.

The next moment, he strode forward, grabbed Little Pinecone by the tail, and tossed it aside.

Hmph!

How dare it compete with him for Wanwan?

Dream on!

After tossing Little Pinecone aside, Bai Tong immediately put on a gentle expression and said, “Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Little Pinecone is all dirty. What if you catch something unclean from it? That wouldn't be good. Don't hold it anymore!”

Little Pinecone: ???

I'm unclean?

Master, doesn't your conscience hurt saying that?

As a Spirit-Eating Squirrel, spiritual energy surrounds my entire body. There's no way I could have anything unclean on me, okay?

……

Tang Wan didn't suspect anything after hearing this. She merely said, “Oh,” and nodded. “Okay.”

Tongtong was right. Little Pinecone was technically a wild animal, so it must be carrying some unknown pathogens or something.

It would be bad if she caught something from it.

Seeing Tang Wan's obedient expression and how completely she trusted what he had said, Bai Tong immediately felt satisfied.

Although she had grown bigger, her expression was still just as obedient and adorable as when she had been tiny.

It made him want to do what he had done before and pull her into his arms and give her adorable cheeks a little poke.

……

His body moved according to his heart. By the time Bai Tong realized what was happening, he found that his hand had already unconsciously reached the side of Tang Wan's cheek.

Seeing this, Tang Wan looked at him with a slightly dazed expression. “Tongtong, what's wrong?”

Bai Tong: …

Whoosh!

He quickly withdrew his hand and soon pretended to explain, “Nothing. I just saw a blade of grass here and wanted to remove it for you.”

“Oh.” Tang Wan nodded without the slightest suspicion.

Seeing this, Bai Tong couldn't help feeling relieved.

But afterward, he somewhat vexedly thought: What am I afraid of?

It's just poking her cheek, isn't it?

Wanwan likes him so much. She definitely won't get angry!

Although he thought this, his hands ultimately didn't dare to be as brazen as before, poking her whenever he wanted.

At this moment, Bai Tong still didn't realize that this was what it meant to care about someone's feelings.

Because he cared, before doing something, he would instinctively consider whether it might upset her or make her angry.

But he didn't dislike this feeling of being unable to act completely recklessly.

On the contrary, he felt that he was experiencing all kinds of emotions through Tang Wan, and his inner world was becoming richer as well.

He liked this sweet yet cautious feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

……

However, after going through so many worlds, Tang Wan's ability to read the room had long since become extraordinary.

With just one glance, she could understand Bai Tong's true thoughts.

So her heart stirred, and she deliberately put on a tired expression as she said to Bai Tong, “Tongtong, my waist suddenly feels a little tired. Can I lean against you?”

“Of course!” Bai Tong blurted out.

Then he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully examined her waist. “Why does it feel tired again? Haven't your muscles and bones already been reconnected?”
